Federal Buildings

According to an Ottawa report. the bright new federal buildings going up across Canada are to be named for prominent Canadians of the past. The new postoffice build- ing going up at St. John's, Que, will be namedtlthe Cote building in holi- our of the late Postmaster-General Alcide Cote, while the new building in Halifax will commemorate the late Hon. J. L. Ralston. whom this Pl'OVil'l(l'.eVll'dS reason to remember as well. .

No reference is made in the rc- port to the magnificent new fed- eral building in Charlottetown, now nearing completion. It too will have a name. It might well be called the Jones Building in honor of the latr- Senator Jones who. as Premier ol the Province, worked so enthusias- ticauy A for its construction. Our Queen's County federal members at that time were the late Messrs Douglas and MC-Lure, and they too have :claims to recognition, for they were both active in pressing our re- quirements. Whether a hyphenated narna.-would be permissible is not in- dicated in the report, which does stategifhqwever, that the names of living persons will not be considered.

This limits the choice at one end.

Thgrerseems, however, to be no ob- jection against going back into his-

sarnm t

I tory. At Drummondville, Quebec,

the new federal structure is to be called the Heriof. building after the fouilder of the town in 1815, while in Vlmcouver they are considering Captain Vancouverls as the most appropriate name. We should not have to go that far back among past worthies in this Province.

Errors About Age

Back in the fad-crazy 20's it somehow became fashionable to be- lieve that when an individual pass- , ed the middle-age mark he was al-

most ready for the scrapheap. as far as his usefulness to society was concerned. As for the really old, there nothing for them but the rocking chair. the proverbial chim- ney comic:-"and. perhaps, an old

Employers, join. ing in f3':”"foolish concentration on pretnaii;Ii- seni-lity-though they themselves more often than not had long since passed the gilded age of young 7Zlmanhood-began laying off 40 year.-olld employees with cheerful Iband&:i there was even talk of re- tiring guveryone, but a few top level executives, at the age of 35. True, now aid-.-then some rebel Came up with -"life begins at 40" pliilo- Iophydoif some variation thereof; , but inftljle nlain this represented -, merely-(I reckless disregard for pre- l vailingfopinion and lllllc attention was paidxto it (which was just as , well. since it was no better and no more ilealistlc than the heresy it was irtj-ended to displace.)

F0 ulifalcly. however. before too much ,' arable damage had been done by"-zthis silly. out-of-context ridicule of age and experience, a re- latively new science. gerontology. had come to the fore. Generally. the practitioners of this science concen- trated on the status and problems of the very old; but. since no other group of specialists showed much V inclination to shoulder the respon-

I Iiblllty. they were good enough to l speak up for the ""40 and over" 5 category as well.

In statesman, took up the may at. Greek in his 80th year and became a leading expert in it. The poet Sophocles was of the same age when he received world acclaim for his genius. Goethe was even older whenhe completed his "Faust": and Chaucer was past 60 (a good age in his day) when he brightened the world with his ”Canterbury Tales"

In our own time. one has only to think of Winston Churchill and

p Theodore Greene (who at 87 is said

by a well known political analyst to be the ”most useful" man in the United States senate) to realize the

truth of Mr. Longfellow's words ”Agc is opportunity no less than youth itself. though in another

dress, and as the evening twilight fades away, the sky is filled with stars invisible by day.”

Public Library Service

The public library movement in this Proiliicc owes a great deal to Mr. B 1' a m it ell Chandler, M.A., wliosc i-o.-wgiiiil ion as Provincial Lib- i'ariun and dircctor of the Visual and Adult l-Jilucation branch of the Provincial Dcpartlnent of Educa- tion is rcpoilr-d in today's issue. Ml. Chandler look over his library du- ties twenty ycars ago from Miss Nora Batesou, who established the system here under a generous grant from the Ciirncgie Foundation. H-9 will now dcvole his full time to Na- t.ioua.l Film Board activities as Dis- trict Officer, and is being succeeded in the Visual Branch of the Provin- cial Department by Mr. S. M. Mac- Innis, also a valued and experienced official. '

It will be difficult to replace Mr. Chandler in the leadership he has given in the public library service. which has been I great boon to our citizens both in urban and rural communities. Adult education would be seriously handicapped without the facilities it provides. and its benefits are now so widely appre- ciated that every effort should be made to carry it on with the same enthusiasm as in the past.

EDITORAL NOTES

in announcing price increases. a Canadian steel concern notes that most of the items affected are used for industrial products rather than consumer goods. Still. it will be a miracle if the latter category diwsn't feel the pinch of it sooner or later.

Farm marketing policy, predicts the Financial Post, is likely to get top billing at the present session of Parliament; and this is bound to lead into a discussion of agricultural policy generally and the long-range position of farming in the Canadian economy. As a corollary, trade pol- icy as a whole will get. a going-over.

SNOW REMOVAL

Sir,-We would suuu higher authority who knows more about snow removal from public roads, to answer the following questions. about the roads " the eastern sec- tion of P. E. I.

(1) Why are the upcraiurs ol plows not more efficient. courteous and reliable?

(2) Why do the plows only re- move about half the snow f m the roads and leave the rest to turn to ':c and leave motoring con- ditions liazardoiis?

(8) Wily are the roads not widen ed and the snow thrown into the ditches so that two vi-hicles may meet?

(4) Why do the plows only work half the time and not work when it is snowing? What are they do- ing the rest of the time?

(5! Why do the plows not open a man's gate so that he can get on the catwalk”? Why plow the roads and shut the motorists in?

(6) Why are the opc of lhe plows so particular about some roads being plowed and others they do not plow for weeks after I fall of snow?

We believe that if the roads of eastern King's and perhaps the rest of the Island's roads cannot be plowed efficiently and effective. ly for lh wlnlrr muntlis. they

hitch old Dobbin until it ls safe to drive on them.

First introducing myself, I am and probably always have been a brother of Peter G. Clark. Sum- merside. of whom you have no doubt heard.

Now to the story. Tliirly-eight years ago the writer was in the U. S. Army in traiuinu at Sim Anion- in. Texas. This is the heart of the Irca where the majority of the Bnilvls servlcini: the continental mainland of the U. S. spend their. spare time.

Along with plhe name and Iddrcss was the fol- lowing notation. "Saw Mr. Brown at the Rover. Charlottetown. In August". I concluded that it was a Chin-lottetonian I had met while there so wrote a letter to the ad- dress given. to Clinrlottclown. But. the letter canto hark. "Address. no such”.
