Says Mod Names lack Beauty

(‘By ‘nae Oeeeedleu Preee) 5 REGINA, March 8—Durim the lest few years there hu been e distinct c-lunge in the choice of nemes for Cemdlen sites.

And in the words ote Saskatch- vvna luiziorlon "The names they give Mwldeye don't meen eny- thing" '

Zachery M. lfamilton. secretary of the Setkltcheilvsn Historical Society, oeys that modern place- numes em “exceedingly ellly end show e sing-mar lwk of individ- uelity." ‘

A few of our beanrtiful-end or- dlnery~nzcne~s are straight impor- tation; or "steals" from the old country. Glasnevln, Susie, nu named after e cemetery 1n Ireland end I-nnlsfall is enother Irish name.

One string of towns in Sask- atchewan along a railway line is ell named after relatively unknown tmilroaders. I

All over Csneds the general practice of naming lakes, mount- ains end town-sites after s minor contemporary figure ls increasing.

But names linked to actual local history or local description Ire becoming a thing of the past.

Mr. Hamilton says many of this province's most beautiful names- ClIOSOYl many YGBTS 880——COHl8 from the Cree, "a gentle, soft, lovely and very descriptive Indian lflnmiexe." Names like lntelultu and Moosomin are from the Cree.

New Zealand Votes On liquor. Gambling

By J.C. Graham

WIILIJNGTON. N. 2.. March a- tOPi-Now Zealand will go to the P0115 on lviarch 9 for a national referendum-n on two questions which for years have been the subject of acute controversy. The peuplg will be asked to vote for or against bas- ic (“llfillfis in the liquor and gamb- ling law.

Parliament has power be make the alterations without eny refer- tmve $0 the electorate but ptltolic opinion is so divided on the issues that W» political party is prepared i031.-. fiction without n. direct man. date from the people end the sub- ject is being approached on a non- parly basis.

A section of the community n. sent restrictions on liquor sales and betting which have led to wide- spread and flagrant disregard of the law. 'Ilhe changes proposed in the questions to be put. at the re- fetrendum have been mcctmmeqided by royal commissions aftcr hear- ing, evidence from all interested parties.

At present liquor may be sold in New Zealand only bet/ween 9 am. and 5 11m. All hotel bars close at 6 pm. and it. is not possible to buy a drink anywhere legally after that 110117. Even in hotel lounges only guests actually staying at the hotel may buy liquor.

This restriction is supported by temperance organizations which maintain that in spite of the un- seetmlv rush between when busi- nesses close and 6 pm. there is less drunkenness than if hotels were open in the evening. However. the-re are widespread breaches of the law. By discreet inquiry at the back door it is often possible to gein admission to bare after hours end numerous hotels. especially in l-hg country, do e large part of their business m this way.

In the referendum voters will have the choice of the hours or a nine-hour period bo- twecn ‘l0 em. and 10 pm. with hotels closed for three hours in the early afternoon.

Welter Nash. deputy prirne'min- later. has given his personal opin- ion that the vote will be easily in favor of retention of the present hours. He told. e temperance deputation: "I have no doubt that six o'clock closing will romp home.’

The second poll xvlll be an at- tetnwt to meet. the situation created by the lack of any legal means of betting on hcc-se racing except by actually attending racetrack; end laying odds on the totellsetor. Un- der present conditions it is estimat- ed that et least half the total bett- ing in the Dominion is don il- legally with bookmakers. The is utidely disregarded by ell classes of the community.

The referendum will be for or against the provision of off-course betting feel-lilies by the racing clubs. Under tho proposal, offices would be opened in certain centres by the clubs end wagers laid would be transmitted to the course end tek- en into account. in calculating the odds at lotalisufors. Racing en- thusiasts support. the proposal but: it is opposed by churches end other organizations whloih object. to en extension of facilities for gambling.

On Threshhold 0f A Era

BY DAV! MUIXTOGB (Cenedhn Preel Stuff WIN")

Since Labrador, as pert of New- foundland. is to enter confederet- ion with Canada soon. merry we the export of iron ore to the United States es helping to oure the Dominion! doller shortege.

Labrador comes from the Portu- guese word "llavrador," a yeoman farmer. ’lhe name was originally given to Greenland in the first half of the 16th century end was transferred to the peninsula. in the belief that it formed part of Greenland.

The story goes that the first person to sight Greenland was e llavrador from the Azores.

Largely Unoxploreel

Comprising 110.000 square miles of forested. largely unexplored territory, Labrador - or "the" Labrador us Newfoundlendere cell it -— was the subject of e. judge- ment of the Privy Council in 1927.

The Privy Council decided that the border with Quebec would be the watershed of rivers running into the Atlentic end the 53nd narallel o! latitude. Quebec ie die- puting the boundary ‘because the il'0n ore deposits lie eihwart it. As the border now is laid out. the lion's sharg of the iron range is in Labrador.

But iron W83 not the centre of the dispute when it wes teken be- fore the Privy Council. For ycers Newfoundland fishermen hed work- cd up and down the cottst from Blanc Sablon to Cape Cllldley. ownership of the hinterland came into dispute over e clelm tby the Newfoundland government of its right to tax s. lumber industry located on one of the deep inlets.

Not as desolate as it's said to be. Labrador is heavily wooded and there is an annual big out of pulpwood on Hamilton Inlet ncar Goose Bay, the ailport built by Canada for 826000.000 during the war. On the Hamilton River, 200 milds west of Goose and only e few miles from the iron range, is Grand Falls. with a potential of 10.000000 horse-power. enough to supply all Canada.

There are about 5.000 permanent residents in Labrador of which about 1.000 are Eskimos. There is nlso e. floating population of some 4.000 fishermen who head north from Newfoundland during the summer.

Fishing Industry

Fishing is chiefly for ood. carri- ed out. by some 25 vessels from Newfoundland. Salmon end herring also get ettention end there is e thriving sealing end unellng in- dustry.

A range ot mountains stretches straight up the coast of Labrador and is probably an extension of the range that forms the mine of Newfoundland. In the north the range climbs el high e3 8,000 feet. Great fiords hack into the coast and mighty rivers hurl themselve- through steep gorges to the nee. The Hamilton river tumbles ‘I60 feet in 12 miles, including s‘ cheer drop of 315 feet et Grend Fells. This taken with the river's volume. makes it. the greatest fell in North America.

Labrador has a couple of items named after it. One is lebredorlte. or Labrador spar, e lime-sode whim is often cut end polished for jewelry. When wet, the stones are brilliant and Eskimos call them

The other item ls Labrador tee, a smell evergreen shrub that growl in bogs end swamps. The leevee have been used es a substitute for tee.

Whether lubradoriic and Labtm- dor ten will be developed is doubt- ful elthough Lebredor itself is on the threshold of e new era.

Czech Culture To Be Revised Soviet Style

(By Sydney Brookes)

PRAGUE. March 8-- (Reutere)—- Culture in Czechoslovakia now has to be revised to meet the needs of the Czechoslovak five-year plan.

A statement issued by the syndi- cates of Czech and Slovak compos- ere at a recent joint meeting, de- clared:

"Music must actively co-operute in the five-year plan and in the sharpened class struggle, and music must. meet the present needs of the people.

“Most important is the produc- tion of mass songs and songs to in- spire the new heroes of labor and the new lnbor collectives ta form of Stnkhnnovisml. Where folk songs are used as a hnsls, new texts must be found expressing the new po- litical philosophy.

“Instrumental music must give the people new dances. new march- es, and new forms of entertain- ment. New muslc must he produced for political gatherings, popular fes- tivals. and all manifestations of col- lective life.

"A new style is necessary in the great instrumental forms.

"The best opportunities will be found in dramatic music for com- posers to fulfil the new demands. Many new text books are needed. Old books must be amended and new translations made.

"Composers must fill the new need for serious and comic musical plays. for cabaret music, for score: foiasong and dent-c shows. for broadcasting music, melodrernes. end ballet, ell conforming to the new Marxist requirements.

Music's New Mission

“Musicel science and criticism must conform to the new mission nf music in society, defining the basic aesthetic principles and pro-condi- tlone of socialist realism.

"The whole conception of music muet be revised end only what is progressive must be retained.

"The history of Czechoslovak music must be shown as en active participation in the political de- velopment of the nation.

“Scientists and critics must el- weys show the danger of one-sided formal musical explanations.

"The syndicate must orgenlze clubs where contact cnn be maln- telned with the workers."

At the meeting. the composers agreed to form a central syndicate, with selected membership, to be af- fllleted inside the trade union movement.

About tha- iutmc time, a‘ newly founded club of film ccltioe decided thee they must concentrate etten- tlon on Soviet films es en example of socialist ert, end ““‘ ‘ the

emptiness and reactionary tendency

of bourgeois films."

The critics must leek “the closest contact with the workkrs es their helpers, and leern from the rich experience of the workers."

It is mapping steps to project the European part of the plan into the indefinite fut- ure.

Its immediate program is to in- crease Europe's exipou-ts, curtail imports from the dollar area, pro- mote intra-European trade and co-ordinate investments.

It apparently hes decided thsi. Ilwterliv programs such u Brit- ain adopted are no longer requiy- ed for the continent.
