Canada Welcomes The Queen Mother

Today Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, will be flown by the Royal Cana- dian Air Force from VVashirigton to 0tt'-iwa fora six-day stay. Canadals Queen Moth- er, for such she is, has been taken to th-.- hearts of the American people during hrr present visit, even more so than when she accompanied the late King on a brief American interlude to their Canadian visit.

Canadians are proud of their Royal Fan'- ily as well as devoted to them and the wonderful impression made by Her Majesty on the great city of New York and on the United States capital is a source of addi- tional pride as well as pleasure. We I'l0'H'

welcome her to an interlude of relative quiet ,

in the Canadian capital and trust that shr- fcols it to be more of a home-coming than a visit.

It is a pity, of course. that her time in Canada should be so short. But then no matter how long her stay and how ex- tensive her travel there would remain num- bcrlcss communities which would regret that they were not included in the Royal tour. As it is, all Canadians can feel that in coming to Canada's capital she is with us all.

Easier Said Than llone

According to a Reuters news dispatch there is some concern in British Govern- ment circles over the increasing number of Negro immigrants from various parts ut

the West Indies; upwards of twelve thou-;

sand are entering the country annually. The problem is not one of race: it is sim- ply that many of the immigrants come in without any assurance of jobs or living con-

ditions, which of course raises all sorts of.

social problems. So serious has the situa- tion become that the Minister of State for Colonial Affairs said recently that the Gov- ernment might be obliged to pass some kinzl of restrictive law to cope with it.

This is easier said than done; for un- dcr British law any citizen of a British dominion or colony, rcgaidicss of his race

or colour, has the right to enter Britain

at any time. This privilege is not only min of the cherished traditions of the Brit.- ish way of life: it is, without a doubt, one

of the strong props supporting the Com-.

momvoalth idea and a good advertisemcnt for Rritish freedom for all the world to see.

economic stability is concerned; and now that the housing shortage presents such 8 vexing difficulty for their own people, it is easy enough to understand the consterna- tion with which government officials are viewing free and unrestrained immigration. All the same, it seems likely that condi- tions will have to get much worse than they are and that every possible means for

alleviating them will be examined before.

any citizen of the Commonwealth or Em- pirn will be forbidden to iand on Britaiii'-.7 shores.

Egg Ami Poultry Trends

An expected build-up of monthly egg supplies in the Ifnited States through March or April of next year indicates continuing low prices to American poultrymen for some time to come, according to a forecast pub- lislicd by the U, S. Department of Agri- culture. Although these are expected to rise slightly by mid-spring, there is little. chance that they will come up enough I..- restorc egg-feed price ratios to neai'-avcr'ig.'- levels for the past few years.

Clue to U. S. egg supplies and prices for 1955-56 lies in the numbei of chickens tie- ing raised for next year's flock replacement On September 1, the number of potential layers (layers, plus pullets over three months of age) on American farms was up five per cent from one year ago. at present on these farms total some 324 million birds, an increase of eight per cent over last. year. in addition to the increas-

'ed numbers, there has been a maiked trcndl

toward a higher production rate per bird, which is likely to continue and further at- fect the price structure. The iesult has been a steady increase in total egg produc- .tion since last August, providing scant hope.-: for a pronounced seasonal egg price rise this year. or even that prices in early i933 will substantially exceed the low level as fablished last. spring. 'i', For poultry meat, ncxt year's market- ; g prospects are not much brighter. in A g do, it has pursued a downward trend last Christmas. Chief cause of this i ' again be laid to an increase in the over- gnwply. More poultry meat has been

-at prevailing prices. The one exception to ithis has been in the broiler market. Cana- 'dians are eating more broilers than thev did in 1953-one reason for this is the ag- gressive merchandising program launched by the broiler industry this year.

An increased supply of birds has also Ebrought increased marketing problems to tthe Canadian turkey grower. According to ia 1954 survey, there were 3.5 million tur- 'keys on the nation's faiins at August 1, compared to 2.9 million birds on the same ldate one year ago, an increase of 23 per 'cent. Marketing prospects have been fur- ther complicated by a large increase in im-

pports from the United States.

Charles Kemble, English actor. died this date 1854. He played the principal tragic roles, but owed his greater success to those of comedy.

Former German Field Marshal Albert Kesselring, who commanded the air assault on Britain says now that the Nazis didnlt

lose the Battle of Britain but that it was

prematurely called off. The next claim. presumably, will be that she didn't lose the war but prematurely stopped fighting.

Rebirth of a German general staff would i be deplored by far more than the C. C. F. Unfortunately it is probably impossible for outsiders to control, conceivably being pos- sible to organize as a sports commission or a lot of other things. The London and Paris agreements, however, do not counten- ance its creation. I O 0 Prime Minister Churchill must know the difficulties of international relations as well as anyone and he is not a man to make light of them. There is real en- couragement, therefore, in his prediction that the world may enjoy peace and plenty in a few years, ”instead of roaming and peering around on the rim of hell."

It is important that Canada's foreign trade officers be familiar with the condi- tions and potential of this part of the world as well as others. One way to achieve that is to have as many Islanders and Mari- timers as possible in the service. Informa- tion about the next examinations on Janu- ary 22 is contained in an official pamphlet ”A Career in Canada's Foreign Trade Sei- vice."

The United Nations continues to have at least as much difficulty with the Gov- ernment of South Korea as with the Com- munists. President Syn-gman Rheels Gov- ernment has repeated its refusal to have elections in both North and South Korea supervised by U. N. observers, taking the stand that he is already President of all Korea and it is only necessary for North Korea to hold elections to add their dele- gates to those already in office.

ROCKY POINT SERVICE

Sir,-In 1 recent issue of your good paper I letter appears over the signature of "Independent" which criticises some of the state- ments made in South of the Riv- er's Correspondence. It is quite obvious that the writer is more concerned with a defence of his or her political philosophies and the Liberal party, rather than with a sensible and independent ap- proach to an urgent problem. My letters simply pointed out the non-fulfilment of Grit. and Tory political promises in this area. and told simple truths all quite obvious to every citizen in the area involved. Why this writer who ex- presses rank partisanship signs

'lndependcnt." to s jittery defense of broken premises is difficult to understand.

I South of the River entertains no ,”chagrin" over present pre-election lpromiscs. As a matter of fact all the chagrin of South of the River was expended for the last ten years, when it was found that the Bridge anti Road promises disap- peared after the elections were over, and our people realized they ivvere fooled again. As long as we have blind partisans like Inde- pendent who will continue cheer- ing whether promises are honored or not, We will continue to get just what we have been getting for years. '

I If I interpret the sentiments of fall broad minded, intelligent peo- ple might the only thing that will convince our citizens of sincerity ,is action not at some future time ,after an election, not through promises, and paper pictures and iindifferent soundings but by def- iinitc work on the project NOW. Only the simple minded would be satisfied, after past. experiences. with anything less. Independent -feels that the Premier must con- sider people South of the River "strange," because the reasoned opinion of everyone else differs from that of the Premier and In- dependent. Of course I am free to admit. that the Premier should know. He represented South of 1the River for a number of years and should be fully acquainted with the needs and aspirations of these "strange" people. Possibly Independent could tell our citizens of one single improvement that took place in that period in this area.

My correspondence has endeavor- ed to point out the disabilities under which we have been labor- ing, and in doing so I have criticis- ed Grits, Tories. and our own attitudes toward this problem. In doing so I also expressed the opiu-

ioii that. some redress must. be actively undertaken immediately to relieve an intolerable trans-

poi-tatlon problem. particularly in the Rocky Point area. in doing this I suggested one of two solu- ltions. lst. That a Bridge it built ishould be at Rocky Point, as a structure at New Dominion would be of very little use to the Long Creek, Canoe Cove and further West. residents; and why then should travellers from Rocky Point. and South Shore be asked to travel many miles around to a Bridge constructed within I stone's throw from the old Bridge? 2nd. If a Bridge at Rocky Point is not to be provided, and surely the area cannot expect a bridge and a boat. then a conimodious lioat suitable for all traffic and ii pro- perly arranged service satisfying to both town and country would seem to be desirable.

In presenting these suggestions. I wish to emphasize the fact that this problem should be approached on the basis of the all-round in- terests of our people. Inasmuch as these interest: are vital to me, and I do not feel that I should be asked to take a trip of 20 miles via New Dominion to Chai-lottetrr'.'n I feel called upon to express my preference for either one or the other of the above suggestions, even if in doing so I offend the political opinion of Independent and any other aspiring politician. and so promote the welfare nf those who live for bnly a part of the year in the Rocky Point. Dis- trict.

OTTAWA REPORT

New Radar Links

By Patrick Nicholson

OTTAWA: The increasing speed and range of modern heavy bom- ber aircraft is forcing Ottawa and Washington to strengthen the air raid warning system of this Con- tinent. New radar links are now in the planning stage to form ii "Dew" - meaning Distant Early Warning - Line deep in the Arctic and far out on the flanking oceans.

The Dew Lin: will bring Canada huge man-made islands forming outposts for the defence of our coastal areas. This sensational novelty is the immediate answer to the Kremlin": disclosure that Russia now has jet A-bomb car- riers capable of speeds in excess of 600 miles per hour. This new plane is very similar to the. Ameri- can B-52 bomber, and im pi i c s more than a hint that Russia still has a very effective intelligence system operating on this Contin- ent. The jet boniber's sensational speed has made obsolete the ex- isting air-raid warning systems strung across Canada.

Our first radar chain, started four years ago, is the Pinetree Project. This consists of radar searching stations. scanned by Royal Canadian Air Force opera- tors 24-hours R day, located just north of our heavily populated and ir.i:iustrial areas. There are wide gaps across Canada's wide open spaces. and enemy bombers could slip undetected through the Pine- tree Chain in these gaps where the links are missing.

0 O O

The speed of bombers in the days when Pinetrec was planned was so slow that many of these radar stations were located almost within sight of the bright lights of the cities they were designed to protect. This naarness means that Pinti-cc can only give warning of attack about ten seconds before an atomic bomb might fall on m a j o r, Canadian communities. Pinetree however does play an- other role, in guiding interceptor planes towards their targets, and in giving United States cities ade- quate warning.

Last year Pinetrce was augment- ed by the McGill Fence. This consists of automatic radar sta- tions. not requiring big human crews, located approximately on the 55th parallel of latitude. As its name. the Mid-Canada Line. implies, this runs about 400 miles north of Pinetree. Reports suggest that its western section crosses approximately f r ri m Flin-Flon, past. Waterways, to Watson Lake in the Yukon.

. . .

The McGill Felice would give many Canadian citics only mi- nutcs warning of the approach of Russia's jet bomber. So now plans are being rushed to prepare the Dew Line. Some of these stations will be automatic radar sky- searchers. Others will be staffed radar screens. They will be locat- ed on ground stations deep inside the Arctic circle, on board ships at sea, carried in patrolling air- craft, and permanently stationed on man-made islands.

As our land-based radar chains grow more effective, hostile plans with the range to do so would naturally tend to fly round the edges of those chains -- restoring to Canada an unpleasant version of the almost-forgotten spectacular gridiron play of the "and run.” It is to thwart this that sea-home radar stations are now being de- viscrl.

Of! our cast coast. especially Newfoundland and Labrador. tests are now being made to determine practical cities for huge floating concrete platforms. These are to be adopted from the "Texas Tow- ers" used by off-shore oil drillers in the Gulf of Mexico. Each island will cost about 325,000,000 fully equipped Each will have I crew of about .30 men. and tn addition to radar equipment each will l'1- clude living quarters. Ii sick bay. recreational facilities. and a land- ing field for the helicopter: which will carry supplies and alternating crews to the island: some of this novel fleet will be positioned as much as 150 miles out to sea.

Off our west coast, the ocean floor is too deep to permit the erection of those concerete islands. and radar protection will be car-

ried in ships.

Final details of the Dew Line. and the allocation of cost. have not. yet been agreed between Can- ada and the States.

Arctic Old Masters

An expedition on Melville Penin- sula has found traces of a 3,000- ycar-old culture with tools and carvings left by an ancient people. The probability is that these re- lics will display true artistry and f i ii e craftsmanship. Canadian archaeological investigations in the North, woefully limited as they have been by governmental disin- terest in the past, already have proved that the earliest. Eskimo cultures had people with the abil- ity to work with stone and bone. They made miniatures of beauty, depicting men and animals; they had the art of CarlCEll.H'O..

This artistic talent has not been lost. and in the last few years there has been an extraordinary interest in the stone carving: by Canadian Eskimos. They received their first important markut through the efforts of Mr. James Ho t who collected the work of natives on the east cout of Hudson Bay and found the Cuna- dlim Handicrafts Guild prepared to assist in disposing of it.

in H949. to cveryane'u Iurprile, 1,000 pieces of Eskimo otonecraft were sold in three days in Mont- real. Up to the present, with Mr Houston now an employee of the Northern Affairs Department. 25,-

000 pieces of stonework have sen bought from Eskimos. and sold. Mr. Douglas Lecchman. the un-

thropologint. writing in the Cuna- dian Geographical Journal. com- mented that it is doubtful that in all Europe 25,000 pieces of sculp- ture have been px0duCCd in the some few years.

It is A rare thought that the bleak Arctic might become a cen- tre of Canadian culture. where pieces of sculpture older than that don: by Michelangelo or the unci- cnt Grecks will be found to ht- trcgsurcd by Canadians who will

honor it none the less became ft
