JPICTOU SERVICE

3'1‘!!! railway authorities aircto be commended upon the prompt con- Iidomtion tllcy have given to the wishes of the travelling public for better train arrangements at Pictou in connection with the S. S. "Hoch- biaga" service. The change in train pohedules, which goes into effect on Monday, will enable passengers to

the ‘Maritimcs three or four years later, the first stations to be estab- lished in this Province (in 1933) being at West Devon, Rose Vailcy. Rustioo, Montague, 5t. Peters and Iona. Since then stations have been established at Glenwood, New Lon- don, st. Louis. Sourls East, Rich- mond, Wood Islands, and DeSablc. the latter station, now in operation for two years, being the last to be established. Thisyeaiyasuresuitofthebvnl- fits accruing from inst season's ac- tivities, even greater interest in the work of the illustration stations is anticipated. The movement is one which is deserving of the greatest support, and it is highly enooiu-aging u. how ow progress which it has made in this, the Garden Province of the Dominion.

'11 WORTH Y CAUSE

This being Alexandra. Day, the annual ltreet sale of roses under the auspices or the Daughters of the Empire is being conducted. and I. generous response to the canvasserts is requested. The charitable and patriotic activities of the Daughters of Empire are well known to our cit- izens, who today will have an. opportunity or showing their prac- tical interest in the work thus oer- ried on.

SLIGHTLK TWISTED

Our local contemporary complains that the Conservatives are attempt- ing to gerrymancler a number of

distribution Bill. Among other things it charges that “ln Saskatchewan the endeavor is made to obliterate

leave Charlottetown by boat at 4 o'clock for Sydney or Hzilifaxjand be in Stellarton at 7.20 the same ivenlng, rather than having to _ Itay overnight at Pictou, where the hotel accommodation is defic- ient. The new service also provides m: evening train colulcciions be_ Ween Piotou and New Glasgow. This improvement in the sGYVlCC over the jfltfiflit arrangement will, we feel Iseumd, give general satisfaction.

‘ammo THE’ FARMER

Information tabled recently in Parliamcntlas to the number of il- lustration stations operating under authority of the Federal Department of Agriculture shows tiilit Prince Ifiwurd Island, on o. per capita basis, is better sunplcd with this Important service than any other Province in Canada. The number of stations for each Province are given ts follows: Prince Edward Island, 13: Nova Siotia, 17; New Bruns- wick, 19; Quebec, 54; Ontario, l6". Manitoba. l5; Saskatcllcrvan, 30; ‘Alberta, 22; British Colulilixizi, l9.

It is also ii1i0i‘C5‘..ll‘ig in iiotc that the interest taken in the work of Hie stations is proportionately great Q1 this Province. Last year, at the thirteen field days hcld undcr Mr. R. O. Parent, supervisor for the Province, thcrc was an average nt- lflldaiice of 118, as against an aver- age attendance throughout Canada b! 86- Last year's attendance in this ljruvirmicc was the highest on record. indlcfling the incl-casing value of the firk which is being done.

stations operate under con- tract, the Federal Department of Agriculture paying on acreage rental and furnishing special supplies when necessary for special experi- ments or demonstration. ‘rhc main obieot of the work is to demonstrate the practical findings oi the wholc experimental farm system. Live- stock, poultry, field crops, fertilizers. gardens, and cvcry phase of agri- culture applicable to thc community is dealt with.

The movement was stalled in Sas-

the constituency now held by Hon.

ment. He represents Red Deer, Basic, which has usually been Lib- cral."

This will certainly be a big

stituents. Red Deer is not in Sask- atchewan but in Alberta. It is not represented by Mr. Motherwell but by Mr, Alfred Speakman. Nor has it. returned a Liberal member to the House of Commons since the time of the Union Government in 1917. Again, we read in our local con- temporary that "an attempt is also being made to defeat Mr. Valiance in Humboldt, Sask, by removing a number of Liberal polls and placing them in the adjoining constituency." Mr. Valiance is unlikely to worry about being defeated in ‘the constit- uency referred to. He represents South Battleford in Parliament, has done so since 1925 and has given no indication that hc purposes chang- ing seats with Mr. Totzke, the pres- cnt membcr for Humboldt.

In view of the misinformation on which its comments are based it is not surprising that our contempor- ary should conclude that "the chan- ges proposed are of such a drastic nature that up to the present mom- cnt all attempts at an arrangement have failed." The fact of the mat- ter, of course, is that redistribution, necessary by reason of the 1931 cen- sus returns, will affcct a number of constituencies, some of them ad- versely as regards voting power; but it will certainly not cause the removal of an Alberta constituency into Saskatchewan, or militate against Mr. Valluncek chances for rc-elcction, if he has any, by chang- ing the number of polls in Mr. Tot. zke’s riding. a

The situation caused in Europe by the apparent determination of the German Republic to press for m-

these Joints.

The reason that a large numbe

of people with stiff joints is because they fail to keep the Joints moving and little fibrous growths or adhes- ions form in and about the Joint. When the Joints are moved these adhesions are pulled or stretched and cause pain. Hence in order to prevent this pain the joint is moved as little as possible and a stiff Joint results.

Dr. A. J. Burkardt, Berlin, points

out that in most chronic processes about the Joint early and systematic exercising is of the greatest im- portance. Although it is painful at first, the physician should use all his authority to induce the patient to make movements because this sti- mulates the circulation above the joint. For the trmtment of patients in whom the knees have become they work somehow; if they work stiffened in permanently bent posl- so badly they cannotbe endured, tlon he recommends a special pull- they are changed.

A London traction official, Lord Ashficld, has calculated, on the basis of the city's population, that traffic delays in the English met- ropolis cause a. loss of 200,000,000 hours a year for the people. But he does not compute how many lives of motorists and. pedestrians are saved annually because of traffic regulations which cause tlic delays. A delay of one minute at a. rod light or railroad crossing, when it occurs twczity times a. day, 7,300 times a year, to one person, nleuxis a. loss of five days; but one in- stant of impatience, one icfusal to be delayed by traffic, may cut short a lifetime.

Mankind On The March

(winnpeg Free Press) .

Those who study social history and follow the march of mankind

comes rougher, the travellers be- come tougher, and so manage t0 survive.

Nevertheless, such students o! this practical and non-sentimental frame of mind realize that man's pilgrimage has been, and continues to be, a. rather grim affair. Despite all the loudly acclaimed conquests over Nature, and self-congratula- tions over mastery of their own destinies, most humans spend thQ greater part of their lives doing what they do not choose to do, or refraining horn doing what they would like to do. And what man really thinks are his innately finer qualities merely spring from a rea- sonable amount of personal securi- ty and a surplus of goods above the necessities of life.

But this tough truth]: the basis of the institutions of man's society which are the milestones of his ud- vance. They have not been evolved by idealistic visionaries, not have they suddenly been magically creat- ed by powerful superbeings. They have, 1n fact, been weapons of I111‘- vivai, set up quite blindly by nor- mal men to battle momentary con- ditions which threatened existence —set up by men doing their eerioul beet to live under actual conditions which check them up at ever! turn by hard facts. ‘Ihcy are in- stitutions, fashioned, not by fan- tastic imaginings, but by sharp ex~ perlencc.

They tell us that music is the harmonious creation and that thcrc is a music in all growing things. Amongst the oldtime folklore about plants be- loved of primitive people it was said that those wcc folk, tho fairies danced gaily to the tune rung out from the snowdmps and harebclls, and thus sporting themselves left dously rapid transportation facili- thc mark of their innocent car- ousal in tile fresh rings of tlic springtime meadow grassBut mod- em science has quaint conceit, albeit its exponents have given us some sort of com- pensation in telling us that all col- ors arc born of light and that light and sound have gamut. This means tilot the hues of "the rainbow, the forms of the flow- crs, the leaves unfolding from the boughs of the trees, are all the ox- prcsslcn of the sclfsame wave of light pitched to divers lengths and producing the symphony of color that the spring- time unfolds. They are simply dif- fcrent notes of what may be called the musical scale of nature. Hence, as Sir Francis Darwin says: “The trees sing with all their green ton- gues when springtime them from their cupboards, which we call buds, and, along with the flowers and the chanting of feathered minstrels, make up the springtime chorus."

But his march along the road has left behind such necessities, and there is recognition now of the need of peace and co-operaticn for survival. It is no dreamy-eyed sentimentali- ty that prompts this outlook, but an intense practicality.

War, as an institution, ls now found to be absolutely unfitted as a weapon of existence. Tremen-

tles and almost instantaneous me- tiiods of communication have made the world relatively smell: they have created a unity heretofore neither desirable nor possible. The present fact of this unity, as well as its eminent desirability, has out- lalvcd war as an institution. It cannot be endured, so it must g0. Peace becomes the institution best fitted to carry on man's march on the road of progress, and to en- sure his survival. The hard facts of life have checked up on hostility and force and found them obso- lete; sharp _ experience points to trust and co-operation.
