Synthetic Fibre Threat

Addressing the Canadian Sheep Breed- ers' Association recently, Dr. E. W. String- ham, animal science professor at the Un- iversity of Manitoba, voiced a very timely warning. He pointed out that if wool prices maintain their present stratospheric levels for any length of time, synthetic fibres will make inroads into the market which may well prove permanent.

The action of several large United States carpet manufacturers in withdrawing en- tirely from the wool market will heighten the concern of those primary producers who do not regard prevailing high prices as an unmixed blessing. Though still lust- ly prized, natural wool is by no means the indispensable product that it was before the recent impressive advance of the syn- thetic fibres industry.

The Winnipeg Free Press thus sum- marizes what has been happening: The type of wool used in making carpets sold it year ago for about 65 cents a pound. Shortly before Christmas it reached a level of d1.67 (U.S.) and by the third week in January had soared to 32.35. During the first phase of this advance the carpet manufacturers passed on the added costs to the consumer. prices rising about 46 per cent during 1950. The consumer, however, developed a profound lack of interest in carpets.

Under these circumstances the fabric- ators looked ahead and began experiment- ing with synthetic yarns. As early as July, 1950, three firms began offering wool- synthetic blends or all synthetic carpets- Their difficulty was that the synthetics in- dustry was not at that time ready to take up the slack.

In the following estimates, however, it is likely that many primary producers will see the handwriting on the wall. For the period ending December 1950 it is calculat- ed that only five per cent of total carpet output contained synthetics. Of production now undeiway it is reckoned that 33 per cent contains synthetic fibres. The fabric- ators probably have considerable supplies of wool on hand but since the United States price freeze makes it impossible for them to pass on increased costs to the consum- lng public, they will be under heavy pres- sure to utilize all the synthetic fibre that eomes their way.

Eelgrassgiiiilng Back

About twenty years ago eelgi-ass began to die out on the Atlantic coastline, the area of destruction extending gradually northward until the once familiar sea-weed was no more. Several times since then isolated patches of new growth made their eiippearance but they also fell victim to the original scourge which had been discovered to be a parasitic fungus.

The loss of the eelgrass brought many changes, depriving fish of both food and protection. It meant also that the under- water flats were now bare and that pol- lution of tidal waters became more serious man when the eelgrass exerted its stabil- izing influence. Our Island farmers lost an ever replenished supply of fertilizer and ducks, particularly Brant, lost vital food supplies.

Now the Scientific American reports -that up the bays and rivers where the water is less salt, the eelgrass is coming back. We hope it may be SO. and that farmers and fishermen will benefit, but these attempted returns have occurred be- fore though they have always been checked at an early date by further attacks of the

V fungus.

Potato llafm Eiiliorlimto

An additional outlet for Maritime po- tatoes is seen by the Moncton Times in experiments by researchers in Maine. En- :ouraged by a preliminary test in which refuse from a potato starch manufacture used with wood pulp has developed a pa- per of greater strength and fiber, exper- lmenu are proceeding at the paper mills in the border state, while University of Maine's paper and Pulp department Will make pilot tents to detcmiine whether the process in successful and industrially Drac-

the potentialities of the scheme and the results, according to his contention, proved the feasibility of the extraction process. He was strong in his advocacy of the con- structlon of a plant for this purpose in the Upper St. John river valley, but nothing ever developed.

The further progress with this new ex- periment in potatoes in Maine will be fol- lowed with interest by many persons and concerns in the Maritimes and elsewhere.

Against Ilreary speeches

The Education Committee of the Cana- dian Manufacturers Association has issued a brochure of advice to public speakers, which the Ottawa Journal cites with warm approval.

”If it were read and studied and prac- tised on a large scale by speech-makers", the Journal says, "we are quite sure the effects would be good. It has a stern warn- ing, for example, against the reading of a speech, says no speech should be longer than 20 minutes, and pays some attention to the importance of a good stopping place avoiding repetition.

"One of the minor discomforts of this earth is the number of poorly-done speeches inflicted upon a long-suffering people. For this there is little excuse. With a few people public speaking is a natural gift. With the majority it is something to be learned, and most people can learn to talk with reasonable facility before an audience. If they will not bother to learn the simple arts of public oratory they should restrain that impulse 'to say a few words'.

"The Canadian Manufacturers' Associa- tion, perhaps out of bitter experience, takes a particularly strong stand against the reading of speeches. Have abundant notes, it says, but no manuscript. That is excel- lent advice. A man reading a manuscript, which perhaps somebody else wrote, can be a pretty chilling spectacle-especially if he cannot read well, and few can."

The upsurge in fur prices is likely to continue. I O 0 Making Charlottetown the" Diesel school centre for tuition is a compliment and dis- tinction we appreciate. It will mean the

Generalities with regard to our ex- pectations in Preparedness business from Ottawa, should not be good enough for our commercial and political leaders. Noth- ing is done until it is done right. and we should be in a position to know definitely what work for employees is to be provided.

WHAT'S IN A NAME

Sir.-Not wishing to be regard- ed as didactic, arrogant, or in the class of "fools rush in where an- gels fear to tread". I would hum- bly suggcsg a couple of slight changes in the name chosen for Tourist Initiation Week. with due respect to the beautiful tihink it advisable to substitute "P. E. Island” in place of Char- lottetown-not circum-.scri-be the orbit-take in as much territory as possible. It would be a fore- gone conclusion that uhe festival would take place at Charlottetown.

Islanders abroad might infer that it is for the city alone. Oui- Island friends abroad form a big percentage of our tourists. They leave a lot of "wherewithal!" in tihis country.

I may be over-meticulous and picayunisili, but the word "festive" sounds comparative - to a cer- tain degree (as it were). "Festival" is superlative--a "fait accompli".

ONTARIO QUERY ANSWERED

Sir.-Regarding your "query from Ontario" published February 5th. wherein "G.S.M." from Kin- k0riI asks us to explain why Maritinio potatoes Cost 51.50 per bag in Trenton, 0nt., wlille the grower receives only 45c a bag, we think it just as well to ex- plain to the grower what is the real cause of the spread. and thus rt-move nny suspicion that Some- where along the line excessive profits ure enjoyed by the hand- lcrs.

In computing the cost let take the following figures:

Growers price, 450 a 75 lb. nag (contents only).

Cast of bag. 230.

Freight. Trenton 53c cwt., 39-3'. .per bag. .

Hem, nnd refer charges (total s30.82). go (plus) per bag.

Inspection. tic.

Marketing Board levy, Mr.

Wholesale to retail in Trenton. 15c.

Retailer's profit. 15c.

Total-51.46 Vi.

which leaves a profit. of 319'. for some dealer in this Province. It is clear therefore from the above that there is no mystery in sPl'93d in price. in fact the price should be higher in Trenton to give 8 pl-ope; level of profit to the dealer hero. .

We hope the above will clear the misunderstanding as Width- ced by the ufore mentlonedylclter.

The effects of liquor are the same the world over.

idegreda tion.

This village may have been a bit exceptional, but right here in P. E. Island there an villages that tell a similhr story. Why do pro- fessed followers of Jesus tolerate and even vote for a traffic that does such things to individuals and to families? Do you wonder I am a crank?

when bi-llllnng economists and bankers are at odds on effective methods of controlling rising prices a layman, without too much trepi- dallon, may venture to point. out where the experts disagree on the influence that high taxes exert in overcoming inflation. There is an important school of economic think- ers who maintain bhe best way to fight inflation is to decrease the pwblic's purchasinig powcr by tak- ing tlic people's money away from them by heavy taxes. This school theorize: that prices will not be Dushed up if there is no excessive buying pressure. The assumption is that markets are auctions in which purchasers bid ziuniiisi 0" another for scarce' articles. An eminent economist in the U. s. Prof. Sumner H. Slichtcr, of Hav- arrl University. has examined the question and in a recent article he makes the definite statement. "an increase in the corporate income tax is certainly an incentive for conporiilions to raise prices." He siiys the level of tax on profits raises the priccs at which enter- prises are willing to supply goods, and in a scllcrs' market most coin- panies are in a position to pass on fairly promptly an increase in the corporate income fax. it is com- mon knowlcdige that high personal income taxes help (0 induce de. mands for higher wages.

Before I left for England. a I would look'up on her motheris tomb. Her moth-: er. she said. was buried in Kensal

Green Cemetery on the outskirts

of London. I promised to copy the ; inscription for her. and after I had

been In London for some weeks... I thought I should fulfill my

promise. After some enquiries. I

took the proper horse tram rind.; after travelling 14 or 15 miles. ll reached the cemetery. , I: was a huge place. and to

locate in grave there wns little

less difficult than to find a needle

"In my mlndls eye I can see that monument, and many times I have seen it. but I am afraid. young man, you will have to wait. But I'll find the inscription for you. and if you'll leave me your London address. I'll send it to you."

He was as good as his word. for in about a week's time he sent”

me the inscription. .

In those days. the best Way I-0

see London was by travelling on

the horse ti-iims. As I was free on

Saturdays, H was my custom on

that day to take ii bus, sit. close

to the driver. lip him ii few pen-

nies. and have him point out all, the interesting places and answer

my many questions. At the end! of the run. I would take nnothcr' tramway and return by another

route. This drivers were export in; their work. 50' skillfully could; they drive mat in the most. crowd-i ed sections of London they could almost shave each others can-liigo. Such close shaves would bring a flood of abuse from one or bolhl of the drivers, and they wouldl continue to yell and abuse each other an far as their voices would carry. to the amusement of the passengers for whose enloyment those performances were frequent- ly carried out;

So long as the weather was not too cold. one could see many men and women selling pencils. boot- lnccs.'nnd trinkets of various kind: on the street. In the winter. I did not see nearly so many of those people. I asked a clergyman who ministered to the poor in the Whltechn-pol district where those street vendors went In the winter time and how they lived. "Well." he answered. "they don't. live: many of them just. die off like files."

There were also the flower girl: who congregated in such places an Piccadilly Circus. around the future of Eros (the God of Love). and -it a place called the Seven Dials.
