THURSDAY. FEB. 9. 1958

The Late Hon. Mr. Stewart

It is with deep regret that we chronicle today the death of the Hon. W. F. Alan Stewart, Minister of Welfare and Labor in the Provin- cial Government.

Mr. Stewart had been in public life in this Province for nearly thirty years. He was known to all our citi- zens and was held in the highest regard by all. Since his first election to the Legislature in 1927 he had filled many responsible positions, in- cluding those of Speaker of the House, President of the Executive Council, and Minister of Agricul- ture. It was during his tenure of office in the latter department that the Junior Farmers' movement was established here, and Mr. Stewart did a great deal to encourage it. He was proud of the honour conferred upon him as the first honorary pre- sident of this organization.

Himself 9. highly successful farmer and graduate of the Guelph Agricultural College in Ontario, Mr. Stewart was thoroughly versed in the problems of the industry. Farm- ing he regarded as his life's work, and it was his hobby as well. A” descendant of one of the leading landowners and settlers in the Pro- vince, he held agriculture to be the way of life above that of any other mundane occupation, cherlshing the pioneer traditions of his family, his community and Province as few of our present day cl izens have done. It was inspiring to hear him speak on this subject, as he frequently did in the Legislature.

Mr. Stewart was a man of great probity and strength of character. While a strong Liberal he was often outspoken in his. criticism of party affairs, and always insisted on judg- ing issues, political or otherwise, from a standard of honesty and fair dealing. Modest, friendly and forth- right in speech and manner. he made no promises he did not strive to keep, and worked indefatigably for his constituents at all times. Men of this calibre are an asset to any Province, and Prince Edward Island owes much to Mr. Stewart's example.

The Guardian extends sincere sympathy to his widow and family in their bereavement at this time.

. I General Simonds Address

Lieut. General Slmonds' address at the Canadian Club here last eve- ning was one which he has given on other occasions recently across the country, but it loses none of its im- portance for that reason. Freed now from his role as Chief of the General staff, he is able to speak his mind freely. His statements indicate that he is anything but satisfied with our national defense policy. -Specifically he maintains that we are not pre- pared fcr a sudden crisis-we are indeed "hopelessly disorganized" be- cause our political leaders will not face up to the urgent problem of or- ganizing national manpower.

This obligation, he says, does not mean drafting everybody into the army, navy or air force, but it does mean :1 studied policy deciding what branches of the national effort must continue or be accentuated if the necessity arises. If Canada's man- power were organized asit should be, everyone would now be carrying I card telling him what he was ex- pected to do in a national emer- gency. This, we believe, is in line with military opinion gonerslly- It has been expressed in resolutions passed by the Canadian Legion and some other organizations. But from us-rent discussions in Parliament, is

: not likely that we can expect any to change ,

countries and the Western Powers

terences between the Communist

are irreconcilable and that "peace- coexistence” can only continue as a form of armed truce. This is a more pessimistic view than is held by lead- ing Commonwealth and American statesmen, who should be in a better position to judge. However, it does not affect his main argument that adequate preparedness for a crisis- is the best way of averting one. General Simonds speaks now as a private citizen; but in view of his distinguished record as commander, of the First Canadian Army and Second Canadian Corps overseas in World War Two, and latterly as Chief of Canada's General Staff at Ottawa, his words must be weigh- ed very seriously indeed. With Par- liament now in session, it is difficult to see how the issue he raises can be avoided by our legislators. It is not a partisan question, for his chal- lenge is directed to all political lead- ers. It certainly cannot be disregard- ed with impunity.

New City Council

Congratulations are due to the

winning candidates in yesterday's civic election in Wards Three, Four and Five, as well as to all who were previously returned by acclamatlon. The new Council under Mayor Stew- art differs but little in personnel from the old. There is some new blood, but on the whole it is to be presumed that our citizens are reas- onably well satisfied with the admin- istration they have been receiving.

This, of course, will be no ex. cuse for complacency; nor do we think that any members of the Council or Water Commission will interpret their fresh mandate in this manner. Rather, it should inspire them, along with the newly elected members, to greater efforts in sound municipal government.

Our biggest civic problem is ll financial one. There was a heavy debt increase last year despite the surplus on current account, due to pressing demands on capital expen- diture. There is little possibility of raising more revenue through civic taxes, and other ways and means will have to be found of replenishing the treasury. Expenditures willhave to be curtailed wherever possible. We do not suggestga policy of pinch- beck economy, which would mean retrogression and not progress. But every expenditure item must be weighed carefully. While chief re- sponsibility in this connection falls upon the finance committee, other committees must cooperate whole- heartedly. There should not be any reason for recrimlnations on this point at future Council meetings. It is not an easy task to strike a gol- den mean between extravagance and parsimony, but that precisely is what our citizens expect the new Council to do.

Waiting

Surveying A B. C. Glacier

By Gary smilh Canadian Press Staff

Dr. J. A. Jacobs put his finger on an RCAF photograph and frac- ed the twisting six-mile expanse of British Columbia's Salmon glacier.

"I expect that's where we'll set up camp," he said. His finger paused over the centre of the 10, 000-year-old ice bed where nine geophyslcists from the University of Toronto will carry out a three month survey this summer.

With some 350,000 worth of equip meat, the party, under Dr. Jacobs, will plumb the depths of the mile- wide glacier and try to answer some of the questions still a mys- tery to Canadian scientists.

ADVANCE TEST

The expedition is. in Dr. Jacobs own words, "a sort of dry run" for an Arctic challenge expected in the summer of 1957 as part of Canada's contribuliou to the Third Geophysical Year, an international study of the earth's physical char- acterislics.

The same party, again under the 40-year-old university lecturer, expects then to fly to Alert at the northern lip of Ellesmere island and measure and investigate the Malespcna glacier.

Canada's Defence Research Board is backing the two expedl tions, the second as part of the international study and the first as a training program for the rel- atively incxpcrienced University of Toronto scientists.

For the last two months Dr. Ja- cobs and a small staff hnve been planning the first expedition. He. two other staff members and six senior studcnls expect to leave sometime in June.

"The trip this summer really Is a necessity if we're lo do any sort of a job at all," l)r. Jacobs said. "it'll give us a chance to test ourselves, our equipment and our supplies"

CAREFUL PREPARATIONS

Prof. J. T. Wilson, department head who is overseeing prepara- lions but will not make the trip. comma.-nlcd: "Our chaps could fly up to Ellesmere in 1957 and after a week discover they've brought the wrong kind of screwdriver. Then lhereld be a wrench in the works for sure."

Incidents of that kind, Dr. Ja- cobs fecls. probably will happen anyway. But to guard against such things, research assistant George Falconer. '26. has compiled an 11- pnge list of equipment. food and clothing that the party will pack into northern British. Columbia.

The British - born geophysiclst bases his list on his own experi- cce. He has spent previous sum mcrs tramplng glaciers in Norway and the Alps.

Plans call for the party to fly to Prince Rupert and then take a boat 100 miles up the Portland

The scientlsts' job will be to re- cord the glaclers' area. position. the speed with which it is advanc- ing or receding and the material of which it is composed.

Prof. Wilson said the team will try to gather evidence to support a prediction as to what the glacier is likely to do in future-predIc- tlons based on the nature of its shape and climate.

That way we can estimate the depth." Quartermaster Falconer says he Is taking no chances the party will sleep In on the job. Bis list of gear includes the item. "Two alarm

OUR YESTERDAYS

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (February 9. 1931)

Farmers of Wllmot are busy these days hauling potatoes to New Annan, where Mr. John Plllman Is engaged in buying and shipping. Shippers would be more enthusias- tic if prices were more attractive. The Bedeque folk are hauling their potatoes across the ice to Summer- side. The ice is very heavy, but the road is getting firmer and more hauling will take place soon.

Carpenters are preparing the building formerly occupied by Mc- Lean and Co., on Queen Street, for the zachinery of the Lsndrlgan Woolen Mills of Souris, which will 'in future operate in Charlottetown. After the move has been effected, s conslde ably augmented product- ion is anticipated.

Nova Scotla had 6,789 Gaelic spcake is, according to the 1951 census, and in 1981 they number- ed 30.000 approximately. A sharp decline in twenty years. 1n,Scot- land fliers has been a similar do- cline in the number of people who speak the Gaelic language.

What is being done in Nova Scotia to save the Gaelic language and culture from extinction Is told in a publication of the Canadian Association for Adult Education, by Major C. I. N. Maobeod of Syd- ney, Gaelic Advisor to the Pro- x;Ince's Division of Adult Educa- ton.

In contemplating the figures. Major MscLeod asks: "Do we down tools and submit gracefully to the extinction of the legume. or do we take up the cudgnels and work earnestly and practically for the strengthening of Gaelic In every possible direction?"

Major MacLeod believes that the root of the decay is not in Gaelic Itself but rather In economics. "How can we hope to foster a language either in Scotland or Nova Scotla," he asks, "when there are not sufficient trades, industries or professions to entice the native sons to remain in their home com- munIties'!"

LUNGS I-JXAMINED PT

Still, pneumonia. and bronchitis might be overlooked. That is why the doctor examines the tot's lungs frequently.

Cbildron between the ages of two and six are very susceptible to colds. However. they seldom -get ahlgh fever unless complications are present.

If your youngsle refuses to drink. it may be an indication of a sore throat. often one of the first symptoms of a cold. Pain in the abdomen is also a frequent early symptom.

EASING BORE THROAT .

To ease the sore throat, you might apply either an ice bag or a hot water bottle to the child's neck. Do not give him any citrrs juices, and make sure all foods are soft.

For infants. however, frequent tiny sips of fruit juices might be just the thing. Your doctor may advise sips of citrus juices or bou- ed water containing three table- spoons of cane sugar and one-half teaspoon of salt per quart. Don't force liquids on him, however.

Raising the foot of the baby's crib about ten degrees-you can use books-will help drain the muc- us from his nose and mouth. This is important. because you do not want him to swallow it or suck it into his lungs.

Generally, children tend to out- grow thelr early tendency toward colds by the time they pre six or seven.

Saving The Gaelic

Sydney Post-Record 4

This is a fair question, and at once it must be admitted that it is in the rural communities, rather than in the city and industrial town that the Gaelic will be be- queathed to posterity. This has been so in the past, but more can be done to keep the language alive In the urban places.

The solution, as seen by Major Mscleod would be grant-aided adult clasus under local instruc- tors to strengthen the prestige of Gaelic. and to promote local Isad- orcblp; and the teaching of Gae- llc in the day-school curriculum. The latter already is being done in two Cape Breton public schools.

The general purpose of the Gae- lic adult education service is to foster Canadian-Scottish culture as it exists among the people in its various forms-speech. song. writ- ing. music. piping. danclns. dress and sports.

If the effort to save Gsellc speech and culture began somewhat latedly. at any rats It is being cut- rled on now In earnest.
