MONDAY, JULY 11, i938

An Ominous Beginning

1

An extraordinary thing occurred yesterday, which illustrates the far-reaching powers of our political dictators even in the matter of over- riding such long-established laws as that of Sab- bath observance.

A prominent farmer at Mzlrshfield saw, yes- terday forenoon, a number of men erecting signs “This \\'ay To The National Park." It seemed an altogether unnecessary task to be doing on Sunday, and he asked the workmen if they didn‘t know that they were breaking the law. They replied that they were following instructions.

The farmer then rang up the Mounted Police, and asked them if it was permissible to put up such signs on Sunday.

The answer was “No."

But later he got a phone call from the police. They told him they hztd discovered that they had no jurisdiction over this matter, as it was under the department of the Attorney General.

Under the Prohibition Act, the Attorney Gen- eral is empowered to hold court of inquiry into his own activities as Prohibition administrator. Couldn't he strain the section a little and take proceedings against himself for pernlittingvio- lation of the Lord's Day Observance Act?

We recall a famous provincial Liberal plat- form which is said to have been constructed on the Sabbath day. But that was not known until later. The sound of the hammering was inaud- ible to outsiders, and occasioned no disturbance to the more buy-abiding class of citizens who were attending to their religious duties. This ease seems to be different. n t u

___*______ Commission Costs

The cost of Royal Commissions in Canada re- cently, has been submitted in Parliament, as fol- lows:

Textile Commission -— —- — —- $180,000 Grain marketing -— -— —— — -—- 114,000 i Pcrlitcntiarit-s — — — — — -— 90,000 I \\'ar veterans assistance — — —— 326.000 Coal commission -- —- —- — — 23.000 ‘Lobster fishing — — — — — —— 4,000 Dominion-Provincial (to date) —— 68,000 Total — — ~ — — — — — $815,000

Few taxpayers realize,an Ontario editor says, tnat besides salary some of those engaged in commission work have received no less than $35 pcr day living allowances, while counsel have been paid as high as S200 a day pltls expenses. Isrft it time to call a halt?

A Poe Memorial

B

seen is a recently issued volume entitled “Muse", combining an anthology of modern verse with tributes by the foremost poets and essay writ- y ers, of both England and America, t0 the mem- ory of Edgar Allan Poe. This Poe memorial edition is a magnificent example er's art. Only 3,000 numbered copies have been printed but perhaps later editions will be issued to meet the popular demand. is stated that the volume is “a dedication of the entire poetic movement of our present day to the memory of one man: and that man an American who died some eighty-eight years ago. Those who read it will learn not only much of the relation of the poetry movement of our own day to the genius and example of Poe. btlt they will have set before them. examples of the best poetry written in our time. so that they may

" Under the above heading the \\'lnnipeg Free Press recalls that Sir Edward Beatty was not always in favor of railway amzllgzllttzltion. In 1926, speaking before the Montreal Canadian Club he was emphatically against it. He said: “I was asked if I believed in a railway mon- opoly for this country and I answered that while no one should attempt to forecast condi- tions in this country for the next few years with that certainty which would justify a definite and unchangcnble view, I did not believe in a mon- opoly and I did not believe in it for a reason that was perhaps in a peculiar way the result of my own experience. I said that I thought a merger of these two principal properties would involve difficulties of administration ivhich were scarcely contemplated and which would in time affect the whole character of the service given to the public; that I did not know how it would be possible with the best executives, the most loyal and efficient officers, and the wisest and most patriotic board of directors for an enter- rise with one hundred to one hundred and fifty thousand employees to be maintained in the highest state of efficiency without the spur

of competition. I may be wrong in my point of

view, but it is extremely’ difficult to maintain a

high morale and that ‘on his toes’ attitude of

railway employees when they have nothing to measure their efforts against and that so far for results is

taken away because there is no one else in the

ring."

It is remarkable that the very reason which Sir Edward gave against amalgamation is the one which remains unchanged despite the very dif-

ferent railroad setting of i926 and 1938.

Sharp increase in stocks of creamery butter is noted by the Dominion Bureau of Statsitics in its preliminary report of stocks in nine leading cities to 19,840,184 pounds, as compared with 6,- 571,171 pounds as of June I. Total was 17,- 678,682 pounds at Jttly I, I937. Cheese stocks increased to 17,820,478 pounds, against 11.760,- 293 pounds and 17,252,208 pounds at the same comparative dates.

Dr. Cotianl, keen f0‘- lower of outdoor sports, including mountain climbing and hiking, will take part in all activi- ties of the camp, forgetting all

If you wish to see a well handled boy camp you should sec the Boy Scouts at Camp Buchan, where over a hundred have been carrying on with efficiency, buoyant spirits and true com- radeship for nearly ten days. It is a pleasure to see them. busy as bees all day long, whistling and smiling when the Weather Clerk mishehaves, and enjoying themselves to the full when the stln shines and makes out of doors pleasant and attractive. The Camp Chief, assistant Camp Chief, Scoutmasters, and patrol leaders do the trick. c v n- n- It is now a virtue not a sin to eat between meals according to a scientist at the Ottawa meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Science who says definitely six meals a day. This means, as our mathematically minded read- ers will see at once, the forty-two-meal week, or something more than a meal per hour of work. Perhaps this is as pleasant a way as any nf meet- ing the challenge of the new leisure. There is one drawback. The specialist at Ottawa says six meals a day, but a total of only two-thirds as much food as one consumes now. But that, too, will be adjusted in lime. As science continues to advance with mighty strides, upsetting on its way the science of today, we may confidently Jock forward to aworlcl of tomorrow in which ople will be urged to eat eight heavy meals a t day.
