Disgrace/ill Roads

Nfaiiy complaints are being receiv- ed with regard to the condition of Si. Peters Road. One section of this road especially, just this side of Marshﬁcld. is so bad that the travel- ling public have had to resort, to n ploughed field. used as s. winter road but never used at this season before. A few‘ days ago this road was scrap- cd. which made a temporary im- provement; but just as soon as the wet weather comes again it will be a worse quagmire than ever. All the expensive gravel thathas been put in has gone fnr naught. because it has been thrown up and buried deep beneath the surface. This is the re- sult of neglect of constant attention to the roiid through n policy of’ pro- per maintenance and patrol. Time and again the Goveinmeiit has been advised to adopt such a policy, and time and again it has ignored the ad- vice. The result is that the people of this section of the country are most indignant, and travellers are in constant fear that their cars will be stalled in the same manner as those which passed over the road some ten 0r twelve days ago, and which had to be shovelled out.

Another section of the St, Peter's Road, near tlic York Road, is so bad that there is only a one-way track-

I believe this is a mistake, no’. that I am trying to help out the farmers by having my readers eat more bread. As a matter of fact, one ivrlt- er tells us that if every man, woman

and child would eat two more 1J|l§1l-_

els of wheat during the vear that there would be no surplus to be sent to other countries.

But bread is really the staff of life for many nations. and it is only be- cause we can commaiid such a var- iety of foods from the markets of the world that we are turning away to some extent from bread.

Now bread is not a perfect food: iii fact tlicre is no perfect food except perhaps milk for little children. However bread does contain that rich food-starch-vivhich is our most im- portant food in producing energy.

Also it is always a “safe" fond in‘ 01",

that if chewed properly, lrcsh stale. it will never cause my intes- tinal trouble.

Now I have no objection to the use of special foods because ‘V1160 foods are "tasty" they stimulate tlic diges- tlvc juices in the mouth. siomach. and intestine. and they are thus more easily digested. '

However there is just the tlnugei" that iii eating various other foods that they will nut contain tlic starch and vitamins of bread. and thus the beneﬁt of this real food—brcad-—muy be lost.

Now bread is bread whether you cat tlic whole wheat or tlic white bread. ‘Although the whole wheat contains tlic ivhole wheat lilcludiiiiz

THE CHARLOTTETOWN GUARDlAl‘. i

Balfour's Memories (Manitoba. Free Press) They are probably still telling a War-tme story in London that is worth repeating now that a frag- ment of an autobiography by the late Lord Balfour has been pub- lished. An authoritative statement on a crucial situation was demanded to allay public anxiety, and who should deliver the necessary speech was the question before the Cabinet. iSomeone said it should be Mr. As- quith. “No," objected Lloyd George. “Asquith will state the situation so l clearly that everyone will realize how we stand." Then Lloyd George was told that he should make the 5989611- “That would never do," he said. "I would put it so strong the NOD19 would believe the worst." 111W‘! George himself made a 5118265191011- “Balfour here ls the man to make this speech. He will deliver a beauti- ful address that everyone will like but nobody" will know what it means.“

In the few chapters of the auto- biography Lord Balfour managed to finish before death at 8O years of age interrupted the task, he im- peaches his own abilty and with the modesty of the brilliant mini- mises his magniﬁcences. He recalls when John Morley accepted an in- stalment of “A Defence of Philoso- phic Doubt" for publication in the Fortnightly Review, and says: "John Morley, though extending his patron- age to my poor production, privately conﬁded to me that he could not understand a word of it. . . . . Mor- ley and I were made to get on to- gether, if only we had not funda- mentally dlﬁercd on every question 4 of political or religious interest." | Balfour writes in this vein of ,» amused detachment of the personage ‘whose most alluring characteristic

was an uiiruffled charm of manner. 1 He says hc had often been accused of i being lazy: "You know, when I look , back at myself. I'm appalled by how j little 1 have changed in so years. 1r .1 have to write about myself I shall lhave to show people what I am-a very lazy man who has always had a l‘ job on hand. 'I‘hat‘s what I have been 5 always. I'm not erudite . . . but I've , got a smattering of it lot of things." iAnd. as a. reviewer of the autobio- Hzraphy in the London Times points | out. "the things in which he was not erudite, and the qualities" he lacked, .are given more prominence than -tlie ' over earlier

l yrears."

i Balfour failed to master Greek or “Latin, and might not have learned HFrcnch had it not been for his {mother's introduction to that litera- [ture through “Monte Cristo." H I had a poor memory, and never gain-

ed an elementary grasp of ﬁgures.

He rose to deliver his first speech in Parliament when he found he “en- ' joyed to the fullest extent the ad- vantages of speaking in a silent and friendly solitude." .But the verbal memory he found on that occasion that he wanted he contnued to want thropgh life. He always missed this gift that others possessed so ab- undantly. He writes: '

"Randolph Churchill could repeat a column of The Times after a single perusal. . . . Bonar Law, smoking comfortably in his arm-chair, could compose a speech involving the most, complicated arguments and ﬁgures]. without putting pen to paper. . . . I never could discover, merely by lis- tenlng, whether Lord Oxford (As- quith) was speaking impromptu, was repeating from mercy, oi- was read- ing from a manuscript. Always the right word came, and always mthout an effort. This. unfortunately, has never been my case."

Arthur Balfour's first association with foreign affairs, the ﬂeld in which his tactful mastery gained him such eminence in the later years of his life, was begun when his Uncle Robert (lord Salisbury) became For- cfgn Secretary in 1878 and appointed liim private secretary. Balfour ac- companied Salisbury to the Congress of Berlin, when lie had one brief talk with Bismark:

We were introduced at Lady Odo Russell's: and he must have been in some difficulty as to the kind of thing he should say to a foreign pri- vate secretary of whom he had prob-

Four chapters of notes dictated by Lord Balfour during his last illness are edited by his niece. Mrs. Edgar Dugdalc, and conclude the brief auto- biography which. if it could have been completed, must, as the Times reviewer says. have fascinated everyi reader ﬁtted by temperament to en- ‘ fer into the working of so unusual a ‘ mind.
