A MERITED TRIBUTE

i The Halifax Herald pays the f0‘- dowing tribute to Premier Mac- , Millan‘.

“Among those receiving honorary degrees from McGill University this year is I-lon. W. J. P. MacMillan, Premier of Prince Edward Island; and the Maritime people generally will applaud this “well-deserved rc- , cognition.

‘ "Pyince Edward Island has always been distinguished for the quality and capabilities of its public men. and of IIICSL‘ Dr. MacMillan certain- ly is not the least. He is leading an table Government ably, and he and

his colleagues are giving the smallest Province of the Dominion an ad- ministration that ranks with the best.

"It is always refreshing to visit The Island and to come in contact with the public men of that Pro- vincewho have such a thorough grasp of public questions, and who always appear able to discuss in- telligently and usefully any public matter, whether of Provincial or Federal concern."

Men who quit the ‘ellef camps organized by the Dominion Govern- ment lri British Columbia have been receiving the straight advice from Ottawa, Victoria and Vancouver that they had better go back to the camps pending consideration of their complaintsAt the scene of the troubles on the Coast it is gen- erally admitlfld that ‘the strikers have been misled by Communist agitator-S, whose mission it is to destroy the system of government as constituted in Canada, as well as to destroy prope_rty\owncd by companies and individuals. Proof of the latter fact was given in isome of the disturbances in Van- couvcr, when the mob entered stores and sr-q shed showcases and scatt-emd goods about. In cane in- stance, so unruly and defiant did the strikers become that Mayor McGeer, of all persons, was com- pelled to read the Riot Act.

Notes By The Wayi A soon of years I-go won-y stories 1 were among the surest sellers to‘ certain magazines that made

highbrow pretentious by includ-j ing in each issue at least one ar-i tlclc discussing economic ques-

tions. The besetting fear of the

t-lme was that humanity would

run out of something. We were

rapidly going short on necessities

in those days. if the professional

prognosticators were to be-

lieved. They had it all figured out. Coal was to last 20 years;

oil would trickle out in 30 years;

the forests would be used up in

i) years, and the population

would increase to tax the re-

sources of the farms at no speci- fied time, but soon. It is a pleas- ant thought that perhaps the wor- ries of the present year may prove as baseless as were those of 20

years ago. — Sarnia Canadian-Ob- SCIVGI‘.

In the old days when brave youths to tire flaunt of banners and the beat of drums volunteered to go abroad to b: shat for the hon)" of their country there was something in the loyalty and valor of us all,

By some, he, (Lawrence) was looked upon as of Messianic strain, .up;-cm2ly qualified to lead ‘stum- bling humanity" and esprcially youth in this time of disquletude. One near him discovered in’ him at close range the "understanding" that is more than wisdom-an in- dividualism that springs from the wisdom of the ages, the wisdom which “reveals that life can endure and mankind develop only in an atmosphere or freedom." I-Ie had the ability to “adjust his opinions to his knowledge." Some of his acts were baffling, even “exasperatin-g,“ to his friends. Ills confidence "sav- ored of arrogance."

“An ovcrulcightcd body is like an overloaded trunk; something is lia- blc to happen at any minute. Heart strain, poor dlgestioikarrd high blood pressure commonly follow over- weight. The only safe way to reduce ls by dieting along the lines sug- gcstcd by a quaiificd physician."

Remember, there is no royal or easy road to reducing weight. It calls for sacrifice; that is the cut- ting down on the daily food intake.

We read with a first thought of pride that we are going to have, permanent roads on Prince Edward Island and what a great thing this is going to be to make good motor- ing but especially the added attrac- tion it will be for tourists, but is it? What do we go to the Island for. We don't leave New York to drive on pavements, nearly every State in the Union has miles and miles of better paivcment than the Island will have. We don't 3'0 there to see superficlallty. The Island has no Thorwaldsen Museum to attract the masses, but“ it has something better, it has just the peace and contentment we are looking for away from the hustle and bustle of our modern times, a place to build lI-p that added bit of energy we re- quire to carry us along, a place to relax and take it easy. and with all this there is a deeper love that takes MUSI- of us there, its home, we love those old crooked roads, and the trees and the fields. the brooks and oven the fences, they all have an appeal that touches the spot no? matter whether we deny lt or not, and we intend to go back just asi ‘ong as we possibly can and we! think secretly that if we could only I» go back at the end of the race to j lay our bodies down, how happy we would be.

This is what takes us old timers back. but what takes the genuine tourist to Prince Edward Island. I-Ic is looking for and hoping he will find something different.
