‘l'onlglrt’smEaster Play

The Easter season in the City would not be like,‘ Easter if we did not have our Easter play at the Prince Edward Theatre. For many years now Mr. J. Austin Trainar, C.D.A., has furnished both play and players for the delectation of patrons and the benefit of the City Hospital in the great work of mercy it carries on in our midst, and mercy , we are told, is twice blessed; lt blesseth him that gives and him that takes, so that those who contribute by their attendance at tonight's production will be shorers in the bless-- ing. But so do the performers and more so, for while they are to be commended for the time and services they give to a good cause, they have tc bear in mind there are corresponding compen- sations. They have been given an opportunity of self-expression, of understanding and appre-

ciating what is meant by dramatic art—whichj

article, putting "t" at the end of the line and "he" in the next line. A typical Shavian reply followed. "Excellent, but don't go so for as to prove the author to be a damned fool." Proof of Shaw's satisfaction with the firm's printing was provided when he was approached about the publication, in cheap book form, of a number of his works to celebrate his nirretieth birthday. "On one condition," he said. "Clark's of Edin- burgh must do the printing."

Marrltolrrfs Potatoes

lt took three years to work it out but Dr. J. E. Mochacek of the Dominion plant pathology laboratory believes he knows now why Manitoba's potato acreage dropped from 67,000 acres in l9lS to 25,000 in i945 despite a 300,000-per- son increase in population. It's rough and core- less harvesting, handling and storing, which causes a high percentage of rot, and failure to use certified seed. ,

ln i944 Dr. Mochacek began wondering why a province so rich agriculturally was importing 33 per cent of the potatoes it ate. Then he started going into stores and buying Manitoba- grown potatoes—when he found a store selling them. Between November and March of each year he bought l0 different batches of pota- toes although lost year he had to go to 42 stores before he-filled the quota.

Generally, he found, that wastage lll peel- ing a Manitoba potato ranged from 32 to 50 per cent. Rotting was prevalent after peeling

in 70 per cent. Careless digging and handling

has been highly appreciated and commended by‘

Press critics both in Canada and the United States. Mr. Trainar, on whom the heavy re- sponsibility of directing rests, has not had his sorrows to seek in keeping. the caste together, for the prevailing Flu played havoc with them, as many as five being off practices during the past few weeks. Fortunately all are back in their parts, and everything gives promise of a mcst enjoyable and successful evening.

The City Hospital is carrying a heavy load at present and n-eeds all the financial assistance that can be given it. Not only is the Hospital proper fully occupied, but the recently added annex, formerly the nurses’ home, with its 25 od- ditional beds is carrying its capacity, and there is still not enough room to accommodate all who would seek admission.

Evidently the powers-that-be at Ottawa are not sympathetic to the appeal of certain New- foundlanders to have their colony admitted into the Dominion. On the other hand the New- foundland Press, with strong support behind it, is totally opposed to any official application being made to Ottawa, and describes the dele- gation now there for the purpose as unauth- orized and unrepresentative.

A recent decision of the supreme ooulrt of New Jersey has intriguing lmphcatlcms. The oase revolved around the contention that the city of Trenlonb anti-noise bylaws was arr infringement of the rig-ht of free speech. The issue arose when one.

He appealed, on the ground that his right b0 "free rsrpeech” was ctrrrtailed. In dismiss- ing his appeal, the supreme court says, in effect that it‘s all right to talk, but; not hr such a memrrrer as pmctically l0 force people to listen.
