We understand that the Premier and two members of his cabinet will leave for Ottawa immediately to make strong presentation of our dif- ficulties before the Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. If this is the case, they can be assured that they will have the fullest support of all our ciilrens. This is the appropri- ate time to demand a reassessment of our fiscal needs under the exist- In: tax arrangements. as well as reconsideration of Ottawa's exorbit- ant reimbursement claims under the old agreements. It would. perhaps.

The llnited States? Senatorial in- vestigation into labour and industrial racketeering already has made some very shocking disclosures. Whatever may be the outcome as far as Daw- Reck is concerned. there is no ques- tion at all that the International Teamsters ltnion which he heads has been damaged severely by his irresponsible (to use the most char- itable word at hand) leadership.

TRIRUTE T0 LATE Dli. P.A. CREELMAN

l Sir. - I am sure it was A areal shock to every citizen of this Prov- ince to hear of the sudden death ' of Dr. F.A. Creclman.

Since I928 when he was appoint- ed full time Chief Health Officer and travelling Tuhcrcular Diagno- stician. he had more direct con- tact with families in this Province than any other llnctor.

It was owing to the philanth- rophy and ,'.'cncrn:-tiv of line l.ifc Insurance Officers Association of Canada that Prince Edward Is- Itlnfi was able in set up a Public. Health l'lcp:u'tmcut. This associa- lion gave Sl5.fl0tl a year for 5 years. and the provincial lovem- I menl bad to match it. so there was 530.000 a year to run it. in 1931 l established the Department of Health on a working basis as I was the first Minister of Public

Health. The late Dr. Keeping was my Deputy. so Dr. Crcelman. Dr.

Keeping and I worked together for 4 years. and afterwards in the Anti-Tuberculosis Society for many years. The detection and control of Tuberculosis was Dr. Creel- man's life work and he leaves to us in Canada I record that can- not be surpassed.

The management and treatment of T.B. is exhaustive and strenu- ous work. but Dr. Crcelman had I great colleague and assistant in Dr. I-Z.F. Found. The record speaks for itself.

Sailors' Uniforms

The (BBC) Listener

Regulation uniform for seamen ,

of the Royal Navy was introduced I00 years ago all for the first time sailors began wearing the. short. blue jackets with brass but- Ions from which the term "blue jIcket" is derived. The. Admiralty archivist. Peter Kemp. spoke in "The Eye.-witness" about the sea- men's uniforms before and alter the blue jackets came into use.

"Although it is only I hundred years since regulations were laid down for the dress of seamen" be said. "there has been a sort of uniform ft them from the earliest days. it came! from a slop chcst the stock of clothes carried on board by the purser and sold to the men as their needs Irosev Once the original clothes in which I man joined were worn-nut. be had perforce to dress like his follows in the rig that the pursers. or "pusst.-rs" as the sailors called them. sold him.

It may seem an astonishing thing when an eminent thelogian takes a president to task for min- Ilng too much morality with his conduct of foreign policy. Yet this has happened.
