OIAILOTTETOWN. SATURDAY. JULY, 80. III! lllooeton Paper Approves

"A wide measure of_ approval by both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick." _sa_ys the Monctofl Times, “will be given the submissions made to the Royal Commission on Transportation by the P. E. I. Government and tho Island Associated Boards of Trade."

Our Monctan contemporary notes that. these sub issions embody requests for un additional carferry on tho Borden-Tormentine "lute to por- form a continuous service for truck and automo- bile traffic, also for a federal subsidy for a new car ferry service linking West Point, P._E. I. with the New Brunswick mainland at Buctouche.

"Any person travelling to or from P. I. during the summer season," says the Tim“. W" easily realize the necessity for additional car.- fcrry service. The new, dies$ized vessel Abegweit has come well up to oxpec ations Ill performing expeditious cross-strait transport, but laminar- time traffic demands exceed its capacity to hand-le the heavy density and the need for sup- plementary service by another carferry on that route has been evident for a considerable time.

"The proposed Buctouche-West Point ferry is a project which Boards of Trade and other public bodies in both Provinces have been re- commending for some time. Thus far representa- tions for Federal subsidy have not, however, made the expected progress towards finalization, but the problem has been particularly well em- phasized in the Island brief to the Royal Com- mission. IA survey made some time ago on the prospective business this ferry could handle proved quite attractive from the combined standpoint of freight and passenger traffic, but, of course, as in all other steamship ferry ser- vices'of any distance, a federal mail subsidy is essential -for continuity of operation.

"The Buctouche-West Point service would undoubtedly give a very decided stimulus to trade between the two Provinces, a factor that would bring resulting benefits to the people of western Prince Edward Island and of northern and eastern New Brunswick."

llanadlan Army Pay

A writer in a Toronto exchange com- plains that tradesmen in relatively safe army jobs receive extra pay, whereas gen- eral duty soldiers in the infantry do not, ol- though they run the greater risks in the event of war. During the last war, comments the Ottawa Citizen, this was true, but now the Government has tacitly recognized that special risks deserve special pay. lt is to be hoped that this policy will be broadened in the event of another war.

The basic pay in all services—army, navy

and ai_r force--is $79 a month. This removes the wartime discrepancy between pay in the army and other services: Paratroopers and pilots "while actually and continuously engaged" in their haz- ardous duties, receive an extra $30 a month. This recognizes the principle that extra risk should win extra reward. It should be extended during wartime to all combatant soldiers.

Tradesmen, in peace as in war, receive more pay than the general duty soldier. The army has four groups of tradesmen, from clerks and itenographers to highly skilled artillery and en- gineer surveyors. These draw from $4 to $20 a month extra. In addition to their basic military training, they must be sufficiently talented to handle their special trades.

"Some of these trodes. such as those of el- ectricians or mechanics," says the Citizen, "com- mand good wages in civilian life. It would be difficult to keep tradesmen in the peacetime

- army unless they were given the inducement of extra pay. But in wartime they should not re- ceive a higher reward than the men taking the major risks. The discrepancy between the pay of staff officers and general duty officers has now been eliminated in the Canadian army, ol- though it is still maintained in Britain. Dur- ing the war, a company commander who was a major would draw $7.75 a day, despite his heavy responsibilities. But a staff captain at brigade ‘headquarters, whose duties comprised mainly the sticking of pins into maps and running messages would receive $8 a day. The armed services have removed a serious source of discontent by elim- iniiting this differential."

A swimming instructor, Kenneth Sweeney, was teaching a group of children between the ages of I2 and I5 at Ottawa how to dive. Among them was I2-year-old Bobby Pook. He took them down to the Rideau Pier to demonsrate, and while idoing a jacknife dive he landed too close to_the wharf and struck the rocks on which it is built. He came up badly gshaken, and calling for help. Without hesitation, Bobby dived in and held _his instructor up while help was com. ing. The instructor suffered hip injuries. Bobby's proud‘ mother explained that he got his train- mg with the Boy Scouts.

‘Premier Jones gave the Pictonians some» pertinent homo truths about the handicaps we have been under, and even now endure in de- veloping and expanding our main industry.

E. I. to Halifax. The Premier finds it as cheap to use the airways for live-stock as the railroad. He urges the development of trucks and water for freight throughout the Maritimes, including Newfoundland.
