Know, Why Pageants-y

‘is Missin

(By Jamel Mir-Cook)

N, April le-(OH-War secretary Shinwell faces the sum- mer with the lure prospect of hav- m‘ u, gxpllln again why he can't dress a few soldiers in scarlet and blue and issue some steel breast-

ta. platen the voice of the cuckoo is heard in the land, the English- mun‘! thoughts turn to cricket. wuntry walks-and pegeantry. For those who like their history in mo- tion in the sunlight, the military guards are the perfect entertain~ Hunt, always the same, always

ee. flBattelions of children, regiments or tourists and a few_adult Lon- doners always turn out to see the chgnglrifl of the guard at Bucking- ham Palace, stare at the mounted sentries at the horse su d! ‘n Whitehall and watch guardsmen drilling at their barracks near the Palace.

The strangers and the extremely mm; are content with the sparkle o! quick-stepping boots. the Iloss s! patient horses and the glitter of long sabres. But the veterans oi London life snap them into reality with:

"Oh. thati Well, you should have seen them before the ivar."

Before the War

Before the war. indeed. the ‘hell m“; go about their traditional tasks in plain khaki were like the lilies of the ield with Something in do. The mounted men at. the horse guards were glorious in brigh‘ tunics and breastplates that could be seen glittering hali-a-mile sway. imposing plumes nodded from their helmets and their jack- boots were like mirrors.

London had a glimpse of what i‘- new misses when troops of the household cavalry. in red and blue. turned out for Princess Elizabeth's wedding, with a valient jingling of spurs and rattle of swords.

The foot soldiers, once spots of color on the parade ground. have not been seen in their scarlet tun- ics and bristling husbies since the war began.

Why Pomp la Lacklnl

When Shinwell is asked why these amenities have not returned to the army. and to London, he ruffles his notes and explains:

i. Difficulties of clothing the guards in scarlet and busbies are insurmountable under present clothing shortage conditions. Men in the units are changing to other duties constantly and even if me issue could be provided the task of keeping the men fitted would involve endless tailoring.

2. An officer's outfit even before

"the wa-r cost £200 to £300 ($1.200)

ind there are few wealthy enough prepared to pay all the emenses without cost to the state. ‘

3. By a special effort, a guard oi honor can bp provided for a special occasion like the royal wedding but this does not mean every sol iiler available in the guards‘ regi- ments cen be similarly clad.

4. Pro-war uniforms usually are well-worn before they were put in storage and they cannot be counted on for present-day needs

All these explanations are heard with courteous attention by the Commons and the matter is e‘.- ved-until the next time an itLP.

Issue Study 0f I Problems Facing Church linion

t-j-

TORONTO. Avril i4 - (or) _. Menubere of the Church of England

in Canada and the United Chuich'

of Canada were today ujggd w intensify study oi’ dilflcujtjgg which stand in the way of reunion 0f the churches.‘

Moot Rev. G. F‘. Kingston, P11. mate of the Chilrch of England in Canada, and Rt. Rev. T. W. Jongg, M0derator'of the Jriited Church, issued a. joint letter with a view to stimulating consideration of Wsfleetlons for a mutually accept- able ministry presented in 1946 to the Anglican General Synod and the United Church General Council.

Conversations on the general lubject of reunion have been carried on by officially appointed representatives of the two comm. unions since February 1944, follow- ing an ivlntatlon from the Anglican General Synod.

"The main, subject discussed." say the heads of the two chm-cites in the letter. "was that 0f the church's ministry. and an earnest and prayerful effort was made to discover, if possible, how a mutual. ll! acceptable ministry might be obtained."

Since the report on the “convex. sations" ,was reported to m; churches’ legislative bodies. a number oi groups in both churches have been organized and study ts proceeding.

"Wit-h a view to stimulating this study. and also to removing some misunderstanding, this joint letter is sent foriib." the letter states.

"We would point out, therefore, the following facts:

"l. That, while all Christian people desire to see the day when our Lord's high priestly prayer may be fulfilled. ‘that they all may be one; as Thou. Father, art in me. and f in thee, that they also may be one in us. . .', bhe purpose of these conversations was not to try to work out a. basis for corporate union. but rather to discover. if possible, how a mutual- ly acceptable ministry might be obtained.

“No plan of corporate reunion is to be found in the report on the ‘conversations’ and cannot be formulated until certain prelimin- ary problems of importance have been examined.

"2. Whether the plan proposed for a mutually acceptable nrilriisi-ry should prove acceptable, or not. to both eomn-iunions. the proposals certainly call for an earnest study on the part of both ministers and people. It is only bv such study that it will be possible to find out the mind oi the churches concerned.

Realize 88 Per Cent Cf Appeal For Children lirlve

The Canadian Appeal for Chil- drcn camPl-lln in Prince Edward Island has reached over 88% oi the 060,000 objective. The total amount paid in up to yesterday is $44,248.06 with some contributions still expected to] come in during the course of the next few days A statement on the iiguree to date nu been released by B- Graham Rogers, organizer-secretary oi the campaign on behalf of Arthur H. Peake and Capt. .1. J. Connolly, R. C.N. (R) the joint active chair- men.

The total was made up as fol- lows: Agricultural section, e18,- 285-47; schoolroom chart collec- tions. $5.469.57; special names, $0.- 80150; general collections. $9.- 685.52.

The result shown to date folithe agricultural section and school chart contributions are particularly good especially in view of the bud weather in March which made canvassing rather difficult in the rural sections. The schoolroom chart collections produced veryflne results and the Campaign Com- mittee said yesterday that the school children and their teachers deserve a special word of praise. The outstanding feature of the ag- ricultural section was the work of the women's institutes throughout the Province and a nimnber of the co-operative organizations.

The Special Names Committee in Charlottetown and Summerside collected $9307.50 and in addition a number of events were held in both places, such as the Old Tim- ers hockey game, special skates, parties. etc. which contributed considerably to the total amount. The students of Prince of Wales College, Prince Street School, West Kent school, Summerside High School, and many rural schools also put on events in aid of the campaign as well as a number of districts such] as Milton, Hunter l-t-iver, North and South Rustico. Montague, Aiberton and others. The list of such special events is quite long.

The Provincial Committee have expressed their deep appreciation oi the help given by all the local newspapers and radio.

Mr. CE. Pickering, general chair- man for Canada of The Canadian Appeal for Children campaign sent his congratulations to the people oi Prince Edward Island on the success of the campaign here which to date leads all Canada for the percentage raised] for this great cause.

It looks as though the Russians will have the United states over a. barrel ‘when the U.N. General As-

sembly meets to reconsider the Palestine question. Unless the United States can

come up ‘with more than a vague trusteeship proposal. the special session idea may backfire.

Observers already are predicting that the sessions will open in much the same atmosphere as did the recent “Little Assotnibly.” The Un- ited States had sponsored that body, but, had no program ready when it met. Other delegations were pretty upset.

For the Palestine session the Un- ited States lias suggested, on a more “for discussion" basis, a trusteeship to replace the parti- tioning which it once sponsored. But there is no indication so far that the United States delegation be ready with definite motions

Informal su-rveys indicate that the required two-thirds vote can- not be obtained for abandonment of partition until soiriething else had been worked out. There is an equal lack of enthusiasm for trus- teeship unless the United States ‘will agree to accept responsibility for enforcrvnent. There is no in- dication that she Will.

There is scme talk of a ranional or federated states setup, with U.N. commissions to supervise elections and minority rights. But this is close to the Arab viewpoint -may have originated with them -and would have to be put through against Jewish wishes. So it also guns up against the ques- tion of enforcement, from which everyone except Russia shies as though it were the plague.

Russia is perfectly agreeable to any setup_ which would put Red troops in the Middle East. ‘Then she could act as she does in joint control areas elsewhere, iluch as Germany and Korea.

In view of all this, there is fear at Lake Success that the Assem- bly will accomplish not-hing. leav- ing it to the Security Council As- gembly to try to stop the shooting and leaving political settlement in the lalps of the gods. The Security Council could order a truce and send a curmisslon to see whether it was being observed. ‘The conn- rr-ission would report l-‘PX that "7 was not. Nobody would know what to do next. That's the Palestine situation today. - _

ln/the meantime, the Russians would be using the UN. to spread anti-American propaganda lnd_ dissenslon.

Russia didn't refrain from velo- ing the special session because she was interested in peace for Pales- tine, nor because she knew the United States could obtain two- thlrd: consent over the veto ail-Y way. They didn't actively 009°" the session because they kMW til! United States- is 10in: to be on

Micro-wave communication be- tween Tea l-llll. four and a. half miles from Charlottetown, and Fraser's Mountain. a similar dist- ance from New Glasgow, N. 8., will become a. reality by early summer, it was learned yesterday.

The installation will mark the first voice transmission of its kind ever to be carried a distance of 40 miles, which is the approximate distance between Charlottetown and New Glasgow.

‘The Island Telephone Company, who are installing the new system, will, when the system is corn-plet- ed, be assured against any break- downs oi' the submarine cables now connecting Wood Islands to Cari- hou and Bordon to Torinentine.

The speaking from the Island subscriber's telephone to other parts oi Canada will be made pos- sible by the running of a 26-pair cable underground from the Tele- phone Coinpany’: Charlottetown oflice to Prince and Kent Streets. From there the cables will run overhead to Tea Hill. The towers a! Fraser's Mountain will be con- nected to the New Glasgow tele- phone offlce in the same manner.

One advantage oi the new sys- tem, Mr. Gass said last night, is that, in the event of a breakdown oi telegraph circuits, one or more of the Telephone Company's new channels could be made available to the Telegraph Company during the emergency-

Hydro officials point out that the steam plant is less expensive than a hydro plant in initial cost in that no dams. canals or other works have to be constructed.

TORONTO. Aipril l4—(CP)-On- tario's new $21,000,000 steam plant for generating power which will be constructed at Windsor, Ont. will be in service by i951.

Chairman B. H. Saunders of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario announced today that the projected steam plant, On- tario's first major venture in ob- taining electricity from steam, will be constructed on approximately 25 acres of land on the outskirts oi Windsor. The plant which pruni- ises a brighter electrical supply future for the auto-making Cetl“ tre. will generate 60-cycle power and will have an initial capacity of 120,000 kilowatts 1160.000 horse power) and an ultimate capacity of 240.000 kilowatts (£320,000 horse- power).
