UNFVARRANTED CLAIM

Our contemporary features Mon- day's federal by-clection results as a "luiberal landslide" ,'l‘his is an ab- lurcl exaggeration. In Rcstigouche- kfadawaska, a traditionally Liberal ltronghold, Mr. Michauds maior- ity over his two opponents was L697 less than the Liberal majority polled in the some constituency in i921. In hLa/skenzie, Sask, the Lib- vral candidate actually had M8 fewer votes than the total polled by his opponents. in Yamaska, Quebec, Mr. Boucherls majority of 51 over the Conservative candidate repre- nnts anything but a. "Liberal land- slide" as compurcd with the majori- tics of Z118 and 68-1 won by him in 1926 and 1925 respectively. In 1921 the Liberal majority in this constit- uency was 1.668.

Another fact is vrorth noting in view of the local Lioeral organs unwarranted boasting. The Ben- nett administration Lorlay is tar stronger numerically in Parliament than any Liberal Government cver was. The Mackenzie King Govern- ment during most of its time was actually in a minority, and had con- stantly to dicl-zcr, in a humiliating fashion, with the Progressives in order to stay in office.‘ The Bennett Government, on the other hand, has v working mrijorky oi some thirty supporters our-r nil parties in the House. 11s lllvfltlitlC from the peo- ple is therefore in no wise affected by hfondmvs by-clcctiun 1'(:\l.lbS. Our contcmpornrys suggestion that the (low: merit Should resign lacks ll] tlu- point it would have had if made at any time during the pro- tracted minority" regime of its own leader.

PROPAGANDA VS. FACTS

The principal argument used to defeat the Conservctive candi- dates in hinnziajﬂs by-clccticns was the allegation that trade and 1n- dustry were being st fled by the.

Bennett tariff policies. According to the, Toronto Globe, Mr. Mackenzie Kim; in his tianipaign speeches in New Brunsavick declared that their effect "had been virtually to build a blockade zibout the Dominion." What truth was tiicrc in thLs cam- paign? The answer comes to hand in a significant editorial in the St. John Telegraph-Journal, a news- paper independent in politics and in no wise partial to Premier Bennett. We quote the editorial in full:

“For the benefit of those who are still skeptical regarding the upward trend of things throughout New Brunstvick, let. us recall in brief a few items which have appeared in the news during the lust month or IX vrccks:

“Dcspitvc rcdurrid acreage the po- tato CIOp of the provinco is worth almost twice as much ns lost year due to better yield and higher price. The Cuban market ou€lowk Ls bright- er, despite recent disturbances there.

“Lumbcring is w bc carried out on an increased scale with higher wages.

"The St. George pulp mill hsl resumed operations, and wages at the Port Royal mill at the mouth of the St. John River have been increased ten percent.

"Exports of lumber for ﬂve months of 1933 to the end of Aug- ust were greater than for any full year since 1929, and exceeded the cUti-tbined exports of Nova Scotia, Quebec and Ontario for the same period.

“The wtton mills at Marysville chowed a fifty percent greater activ- ity than at the same time in 1931. In the mill at lvhlltown 000 wen employed as compared w'th 100 to 200 a year ago. Other industries likewise have speeded up operations.

"Freight handled at the Port of Saint John for nine months of the year was nearly up to the total of the full year of 1932. A gradual im- provement was noted in recent weeks in Canadian Pacific freight traffic.

"A new plant manufacturing

John, giving direct employment w 15o hands. and providing wort in- directly to many cutting and hand- ling the raw product.

“Farm product prices generally have shown a distinct increase. making for s. better return to pro- ducera.

“Mr. A. D. Ganong, MP. is auth- ority for the statement: “Fisher- men, farmers. lurnbermen and mau- ufacturers are much better of! in Charlotte county than they were last year." Similar reports from other sections were made by mem- bers attending the annual meeting of the New at m" b branch. Rc- tnil Merchants‘ Association.

"Ihese are but a few of the highlights appearing in the news of the day. On the whole then is a feeling of greater conﬁdence than for some time, and the prospects are for further advances."

EDUCATIONAL LOSS

Higher education in New Bruns- wick suffered a severe blow in the destruction by fire of the University of St. Joseph, a centre of Acadian learning which attracted students from all sections of the Maritime: as well as from Quebec Province and the New England States. The task of rebuilding to meet the pres- ent day needs of the university will be a tremendous one, especially at a time when money is none too but according to the

doubt in the minds of the authori-

We in Prince Edward Island can

sympathize with the authorities of St. Joseph's University, both in the

loss they have ‘sustained and in the spirit with which they are meeting it. St. Joseph's will, we feel assur- ed, be rebuilt on a scale commensur- ate with its growing requirements and inkeeping with the splendid tradition whichhin a century. of public service of the highest kind, the university has maintained. In doing so the authorities may en- counter adverse criticism, though it is to be hoped they will bs free from the unfair and petty criticism which, for political reasons, is still being propagated in this Province against the adequate rebuilding of the Prince of Wales College.

GOOD PUBLICITY

The current issue of the Toronto Saturday Night carries a splendid three-column cut of a field of Mince Edward Island potatoes, together with the following descriptive para- graph:

"The Province of Prince Edward Island has long been noted for its fine potatoes-so good that they arc now shipped as seed to many parts of the world. Above is seen a. crop of Irish Cobbler seed Pota- toes grown on the farm of Mr. J. O. Hyndman, prominent Char- lottetown business man, at Fort la Joie, P. E. I. It will be noted that there is a rather remarkable re- semblance to a bed of poenies. Incidentally, the site of the anci- ent Prench settlement which gave Fort la Joic its name is located on Mr. Hyndmanb fann. and the re- mains of the fort itself are in this very potato field."

The publicity value to the Island potato indust y of a picture of this kind, featured in such n. widely cir- culated publication as Saturday Night, would be difficult to measure in dollars and cents. Moreover, it appears at a most opportune time,

and should do much to stimulate

It was then found that both the 1939 and 1945 maturities sold st or above their issue mice. This indimtes that the new secur- ities have been well absorbed and are in strong hands, and is in keep- ing with the belief when the bonds were offered that they were admir- ably priced for the market.

INDIGESTION AND IIIGII TEM- PERATURE IN CHILDREN MAY BE DUE '1!) NERVOUSNESS

Mothers are often much upset when a younlliﬂ. 51191101131! 11"!‘ thy in every way, suddenly b68195 vomiting, complains of headache. pain in the stomach or abdomen. and the temperature goes up two to four degrees above normal.

The fact that the pain is in the head and stomach togethe with the vomiting may lead the mother to suspect a “bil1ous" attack, which she quite properly treats with castor oil, followed by baking soda, and a1- lowing no food for 12 to Z1 hours.

The first time the attack occurs the family doctoris called 1n and ﬁnding no definite symptoms of ap- pendicitis, orders the treatment out- lined above.

However the bttacks continue ov- ery few weeks or months, and the doctor is asked as in the cause.

Drs. W. G. Wylile and B. Schles- inger, London, have investigated the inﬂuence of heredity, and tbs fre- quency with which the above at- tacks occur in certain “nervous" children or in the children of ner- vous parents.

It is their opinion that there is really nothing wrong with the var- ious organs of thesechildren but that. it is their ‘ucuIOU-SDBSS" that interferes with the proper working of the variotu organs.

As they cannot. change a. nervous

child to one that is not nervous.

they attempt to change the food, eaten, or rather try to amt the food‘ tc the nervous child. Although no‘ one form of diet helps n11 cases.

they found that cutting down on the

fats-cream, butter, rich pastries,-

and. increasing the starches-sugar,

potatoes, bananas-was unusually

effective in lessening the number of i attacks.

Where one-sided headache was

the only symptom of which the

teen-age child complained it was found that increasing the fats and cutting down the starchas was more egective.

In addition to obtaining the diet most suitable for the youngster. other conditions or habits must also be investigated. Thus the intestine must be kept regular, the eyes must be tested as poor eyesight (strain) may cause these attacks, and ixifec- tion in teeth, tonsils or sinuses must be removed.

The old fashioned remedy-com- mon baking soda-can be used in small dosas-quartcr tc half tea- spoonful three times a day with beneﬁt.

Finally the child must be kept free of physical or mental exhaus- tion, and all unnecessary excite- ment.

Mr. King’s Policy

1n 1929, the last full year of the Mackenzie King Government. the balance of trade as between Cun- ada and the United States reach- ed the stupendous total of three hundred and eighty-seven million dollars against this Dominion. ‘Ihat is to say. ten million people in Canada purchased three hundred and eighty-seven million dollars worth more from the United States than the one hundred and twenty million people in the United States pin-chased from Canada.

The balance of trade still is in

favor of the United Stat-es but the margin has been greatly reduced since the Bennett Government reached power. The people of the United States are beginning to real- ize that they went too far in ox- diuding Canadian products and the President of the United Btatcs f“- ~ 9g r -* - - g meeting of the Canadian (Slumber recently and made a speech 1n favor of better trade relations.

The next day, noticing where some caribou had crossed the creek in several places, we thought it. would beagoodplantotabeourrlfles and soc 1f we could not get a sup- ply of fresh moat, as we were also shyonthatuvveihﬂogoing up creek about three miles, we headed up a creek called Sununerilcld, about four miles long. it taking us fully two hours to reach the sum- mit, When we arrived at this point, and took a look around the sur- rounding country we observed numerous bands of caribou scat- tered here and there, some feeding, and others strung out in a line on the move. Taking notc of the po- sition of one particular herd, and seeing the light wind in evidence was blowing from their quarter, we started to move in their direction. Noticing that a. low reef of rock. between the herd and us would be in our favor, travelling as careful as possible, to make as little noise as we could help and at the same time keeping a sharp lookout on both sides as we went along, to see that no caribou was" perched on a prominent rock, on the watch, which they often do; we at length arrived at the foot of the reef, and skirting along until we found s. break 1n it, at length we got sight of them by glancing around a point of rock. There must have been a

As we were viewing them, we noticed a ‘place not. far from when we were, that would give us a shorter range at thorn, and by some careful man- oeuvering around, we at length arrived there, and getting ready, we started in tiring.

We found we had killed eight, which was enough tcsupply us with meat all winter, the left overs providing dog feed. We then had the Job of bleeding and disemboweling them, which had to be done right away, to pre-vmt them from spoiling. As soon as we had completed this. twilight coming on. we had to make tracks for home, and the following day, we took dogs and a sled along, and landed them home at the cabin.

A mm I knew, Morse by name, who had at different timcs hunted extensively for moose and caribou all over. told me of an experience he had while hunting caribou at the head of Los Angeles creek, acmss the Yukon River from Kirk- man. l-fe said he had shot a couple Caribou, close to the Divide, and was busily engaged skinning them, when he heard a noise like distant thunder, and taking a look over from the direction it came, he ob- served a great mass of caribou ap- proaching, thene being luckily for him a good sized tree nearby, he got on the off side of it for pro- tectlon.
