I-THABLOTTETOWN. WEDNESDAY. SEPT. 10, 1952- ovororowdod Schools

.. The pl'esent overcrowding condition of Charlottetown's schools should not surprise either the responsible authorities or the citizens. It is seven years since the end of the war and the increased birthrate for the postwar years should have given everyone ample warning that the accommodation that was already inadequate cannot possib- ly meet the increased demands upon it.

in addition to the plain warning provid- ed by vital statistics there is the factor of the steady movement of rural families to the city. It has been going on apace as in- dicated by the continued tightness of the housing situation despite the wholesale conversion of homes into multiple apart- ments as well as new construction.

Charlottetown is faced with a crisis in the matter of schools. Accommodation must be found and quickly. The children of this capital city cannot be deprived of their proper chance of education because of lack of interest and action. We have a city school superintendent for the first time. His first task should be to make pro- posals for coping with rising enrolment.

The way of the transgressor, especially if he happens to live on the Soviet side of the Iron Curtain, is indeed hard.

Consider, for example, the plight of Dr. Leopold Infeld, late of the faculty of the University of Toronto. Dr. Infeld, of Pol- I ish birth, came to Canada in the era of , troubles that beset Eastern Europe in the : years of crisis between the two World Wars. Here he found refuge and asylum. His acknoudedged ability as a. scientist won for him an honoured post on the fac- ulty of one of Canada's great universities.

Two years ago Dr. Infeld returned to Poland. No sooner had he quit Canadian soil than he proceeded to blast the country which had afforded him freedom and pro- tection, accused Canada as a "war-monger", anq dedared himself happy to be back in the ”peace-loving" atmosphere of one of The Peoples Democraciesi.

Dr. Infeld, a few months before his departure behind the Iron Curtain, con- tributed an article to Saturday Night in praise of the famous scientist Dr. Albert Einstein, whom he professed greatly to admire. It is significant that his admir- ation for Dr. Einstein was, at that time, not inconsistent with his known Commun- ist leanings.

Now, unhappily for Dr. Infeld, Dr. Einstein has fallen out of favour with the Kremlin. That ultimate in' Soviet indig- nities, the epithet of "bourgeois". has been

,levelled at him by no less eminent an authority than A. A. Maxinov, of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Dr. Ein-

stein's sin. it seems, is that he wrote a somewhat laudatory preface to an article by what Mr. Maximov describes as "a cer- tain American dollar scribbler" called Bar- tell, entitled "The Universe and Dr. Ein- stein”, published in the U. S. State Depart- ment magazine America.

Dr. Infeld, it. is to be hoped, will find the winters in Siberia no more disagree- able than the December dampness of Tor- onto.

English Houses For Canada

An English firm reports with justifiable pride that it has received a 3i100,000 order to ship 28 homes across the Atlantic. The event was of such importance to the United Kingdom that the Minister of Works, Mr. David Eccles, made a special trip to Lin- coln to see one of the prefabricated houses put together in one working day.

Central Mortgage and Housing Corpor- ation, the Canadian agency concerned, con- siders the imported houses part of a re- search program it continues with vigor and good results. Four of the United King- dom houses will go to Ajax, 14 miles from Toronto, where the CMHC experiments with various types of houses, including one made 9f glass. The other 24 will be put up at Gander, Newfouiidlsnd, where there was a sudden call for additional accommoda- tion near the alr-base and it was decided "to try prefabricated units.

Whatever its future, says the Ottawa Journal, the United Kingdom prefabricated house designed for Canada (it even has a basement) is an example of energy in seeking dollar Idol.-' Evidence of n mar- loet-fogtho 1' , ,':' van in the news your-':tlsc , ' ng 2;soo,' sult-

ed to the climate, to Australia.

CMHC, should the tests be successful, might very well buy many more houses in the United Kingdom. Much more is in- volved than putting a house, complete with plumbing, in a neat packing case and ad- dressing it to Canada. ascertain through these tests is the cost of the house when erected and ready for service, the additional charges imposed by transport in this country of great dis- tances, and the ability of the buildings to withstand the severities of a hard climate. "Both for the sake of the thousands of Canadians who dream of I a reasonably- pricedrthree or four bedroom house anti for the ingenious United Kingdom man- ufacturers who want dollar markets," says the Journal, "we hope the tests will sue- ceed. And in so hoping we do not for a moment forget the achievements of Cana- dian builders of standard and prefabricat- ed houses on whom the main housing load will continue to fall."

Congratulations are certainly in order for Maritime Central Airways whose ex- pansion has now reached the point where they employ fifty pilots alld well over 400 employees. Charlottetown and indeed the Maritimes are also to be congratulated on having such a wide-awake airline. O O 0

That the matter of having work done for individual Councillors had been a com- mon practice in the past is an extraordin- ary statement for a member of the City Council to make. Living ex-Councillors can deny the imputation but those who have passed on are ,without defence.

Interest is warming up in the New Brunswick election which takes place on September 22. Among the issues involv- ed is a provincial sales tax. The Govern- ment also is making an issue of its dis- pute with the employees of the New Bruns- wick Electric Power Commission.

The Treaty of St. Germain-en-Laye, concluding the wal' between Austria and the allied powers, was signed this date 1919. The German Tryol was given to Italy, German Bohemia to Czechoslovakia and the Austrian republic renounced all claims in Egypt, Morocco, China and Siam. Reparations were imposed and Austrian forces limited.

All too often in case of a boat being upset the swimmers in the party are drowned although the others are saved after hanging on to the overturned boat. Both the swimmer and non-swimmer, how- ever, were saved in such an accident off Summerside. Both yachtsmen clung to the boat until rescued although it was a mat- ter of seven hours.

Concern has been expressed in the Old Country at the reaction here to an ed- itorial. in the Manchester Guardian sup- posedly criticizing "Canada's olympian de- tachment" towards Great Britain. It is pointed out that the phrase was used in. relation to Commonwealth affairs gener- ally and this country was urged "to join in the effort with the friendly, constructive energy we used to admire."

Six members of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra have been dropped with the ex- planation that these musicians were un- able to obtain permission from the Amer- ican State Department to cross the border. Although only one. of the symphony's eighty con'certs last season was given in the United States, the directors have held to their grounds for dismissal and have made their decision stick. Protests have been made by the Association of Civil Liber- ties, the United Church in Canada and several other interested groups without re- sult or further explanation. While it would not be reasonable to expect that if a per- son could obtaln employment -with the T. S. 0. such person would be, ipso facto, entitled to entry to the United States, it also seems ridiculous to maintain that un- less one is regarded favourably by the United States or other foreign govern- ment. such person is barred from employ- ment with the T. S. 0. It would appear the part of reason torecognize the rights of each and amlcoblysettls the matter.

A TRIBUTE

Sir, Monday morning A merci- ful (lcatll ended the earthly career of ti great Christian martyr. Henry .T. Fitzgerald's life can be divided into three per- iods of approximately twenty years each. The first twenty as ll student in this city and finally at St. Dunstan's College where he enjoyed the unique honorvof be- ing a classmate of His Eminence Cardinal McGuigan, and the fur- ther honor of being Valedictorian of the graduating class of his year. In addition to being a fine student Henry was a splendid athlete.

The next twenty years he was associated with the late Charles Lyons in thc'coal business and

after Mr. Lyons' death he, in partnership with the late Charles Moran, conducted the business until ill health. compelled him to retire.

For the past twenty years he was a victim of the incurable and deadly disease of multiple

sclerosis. For ' twenty years I watched its deadly and fatal pro- gress for which medical science has not found R remedy. For five years he was able to move out a little and then around the house but for the inst fifteen years he was a helpless cripple. not able to move even R finger. During twenty years of ill health and suffering no word of com- plaint ever passed his lips. He was sustained by a wonderful Christian philosophy. and I often wondered, during my hundreds of visits to him. how he could be so patient nnd hopeful.

To my mind he was a glorious xample of the perseverance and

:- faith of Christian martyrs who even in these terrible recent years are being sat-l'll'icc(I for their belief in Goll. I could not say enough in ronncction' wllll
