Saint Andrew's death occurred at Patras, ibout the year '70 A.D. From Patras, three renturies later, l1is relics were taken to Jonstantinople, and thence, when the city fell to the Crusaders from the West, to Amalfi in Italy. According to legend they were takcn by Acca, Bishop of HCXlltlill, to the Pictish King Angus between T31 and 761, and buried where the city of St. An- drews now stands.

Saint Andrew is mentioned in Scripture as one of Christ's earliest disciples, zealous in propagating the faith and in enduring martyrdom for it. His high ideals and noble effort have been an inspiration to suc- ceeding ages—to none more so than the Scots, who have honoured him as their patron saint for centuries. Today's observ- ance of the anniversary will be world wide, and will stiffer nothing through distance from the land in which it took its rise. Tonight a special treat is in store for those attending the St. Andrew's Day dinner under the auspices of the local Calcdonian Club. The toast to “The Day" will be re- sponded to by the Hon. Angus L. hlacdon- ald, Premier of Nova Scotia, an outstand- ing Canadian who is proud not only of his Highland ancestry but of his ability to speak Gaelic fluently. His father's people came from Invcrness-shire more than a ce11- tury ago, and his grandfather was for 1111111)." years Speaker of the Prince Edward Island Legislature, and at the time of his (loath represented an Island constituency in the House of Commons. This makes Premier Macdonald not only an honoured guest, but “one of our ain." His career in public life has reflected credit upon his ancestry, both at Ottawa, where he held the onerous port- folio of Naval Minister during the war, and in his native Province where he assumed the government leadership first at the age of forty-three. Throughout Canada he is known as the leading champion of Maritime claims, and also as one of the most clo- quent and pleasing after-dinner speakers. An authority on many subjects, he is reported- ly at his best when speaking on a Scottish theme.

As on other occasions, too, the Haggis will be ushered in with the time-honourczl ritual, and other post-prandial speeches will reflect the modest pride the Scot. takes in his national heritage and achievements.

Mr. Gardner's Statement

Addressing the opening session of FAO in Washington, Agriculture Minister Gar- diner is quoted as saying that this country no longer had a surplus of food for the export market. The impression he left, says the Ottawa Journal, must not have been very complimentary to Canada, for the people he was talking to knew very well what the farmers of Canada can do,

Dr. Patterson went on to say that this kind of superficial knowledge was not what students at Prince of Wales College were en- couraged to ‘acquire. “Those who get their diplomas from this institution have not marked the end of their educational activi- ties," he said. “They have merely sharpened their faculties while they have been here, and they have gone on to secure further education for themselves."

For this well-merited tribute Dr. Steel has in late years been chiefly responsible. Under his successor and former pupil, Prin- cipal lylacliinnon, the good work is being continued. The curriculum may change from time to time, but the broad basic principles of a rounded education are kept in mind.

Newfoundland is facing the shutdown of its secondary industries, bedding, shoes, clothing and paper bags. The other Mari~ time Provinces went through the process a long time ago, but hope that with the iron ore deposits of the Labrador as a backlog. the tenth Province will make more satis- factory and rapid adjustments. O O It is curious that when winter comes and with it the need for rubber footgear, we continue to wear the outdoor shoes of other seasons, pulling over them the extra protection against wet and cold. It would be a most independent individual who habitually wore, say, household slippers while not actually tramping through wintery streets.

Congratulations are due Mr. Alfred Pickard upon his appointment, as successor to Mr. J. LeRoy Holman, Suinmerside, as a director of the Bank of Canada. It is a wcll deserved honour, for Mr. Pickard has been long one of our outstanding business men. We should now be certain to have a branch of the Bank relocated here.

and have done, in the way of production. As a result of heavy Government buy- ing of certain commodities and somewhat shaky contracts with the United Kingdom, surplus foodstuffs are not an immediate problem in this country; but that condi- tion is purely artificial and could change within a few months. Given th slightest encouragement the farmers of Canada. could soon produce food for export. _ The Canadian farmer finds himself in an ambiguous situation today. His prices are largely controlled by Government buy- ing and contracts yet these are only being negotiated and prices announced at almost the last minute. This has been true for years, and largely as a result there has been a gradual decline from wartime production peaks. The farmer must plan in an atmos~ phere of uncertainty in the one business that requires some confidence for an all-out effort. Brave promises were made to fann- ers during the war and now they see the whole edifice collapsing because of a world currency muddle which few of them even pretend to understand.

0r. Stool Honoured

Members of the Government and Prince of Wales College faculty honoured them- selves Monday night in paying tribute to Dr. G. D.

In 1900 he enter- ed parliament as a Conservative, but in 1904 joined the Liberals, and was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty in 1911. He entered the first Coalition, and in 1917 became Min- ister of Munitions in Lloyd George's Coal- ition; subsequently became Prime Minister, and now is virtual head of the Conservative Party and foremost voice in the House of Commons advocating British policy in post- war restoration.

I Successful doctors are still those who de- pend on the providence of God, says a Vien- nese doctor, who believes “the unseen hand of God” helps make an operation success- ful. He has won the highest honor bestowed by the International College of Surgeons, the title “Master of Surgery." Dr. Hans Finsterer of Vienna is the fifth surgeon to be awarded the honor in the college’s 14- year-old history. Finsterer, 72-year-old professor at the University of Vienna, has performed more than 20,000 major opera- tions. He told the annual assembly of the College's United" States Chapter that al- though considerable progress haa been made in medicine and surgery in the past few years "all advances are not sufficient in themselves to insure a happy outcome in every operation." “Of late years, unfortun- ately, many patients and doctors have lost the conviction that all things depend on the providence of God," he said.

Mr. Robert Hodgson in a neat speech on behalf of himself and Mr. Paul Mabcy, returned thanks on the health: of the new- ly elected members for Charlotte- town being toasted.

Coal Subsidies

(Moncton Transcript)

The proposal announced by Trade Minister Howe that Parlia- ment will be asked to enact legis- lation authorizing federal loans not exceeding $10,000,000 in all to assist the coal mining industry in the Maritime: shows recognition of the need for governmental aid to give stimulus to an industry that forms a considerable segment of Maritime economy.

The government's plan would have three-quarters of the amount, or $7,500,000, go to assist the larg- est operators—-Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation and its subsidi- arlcs-in the installation of mod- ern, mechanized equipment to facilitate mostly all underground operations, including digging, load- lng, transport and elevating coal to the pithead.

The balance, $2,500,000 will be for use of the other mining com-

There was a time when the in- fant mortality rate in Newfound- land was about twice as high as the 62 per 1,000 live births rc- ported by the Child Welfare As- sociaticii for last year. But that does not make the present rate any less shocking. Only in New Brunswick. among all the pro- vinces of Canada, was the index figure higher but that was in i046 and the Maritime Provinces may have been able to reduce iLs rate substantially during the past two years. The Canadian average in i946 was 47 which was much too high but well below the New- foundland figure-St. John's News

Mr. Garson and Mr. McGregor by their falling-out have provided a neat fifth-act climax for the lang-drawn-out farce of combines investigation _in Canada. When bureaucrats fall out the average citizen sometimes gets a glimpse of the truth. In this case the truth is that the legislation and machinery for combines investi- gation in Canada have never been anything more than window dress- ing, a sop by the politicians to the popular hatred of trusts and com- blnas which had a greater vogue in the early years of the century than it has today—Winnipcg Tri- bune.

In a few months the result will be a loaf mould ready to apply to the sail of ihe garden.

The voluntary efforts being put forivnrd by trappers in the Sud- bury district to exterminate wolves inert-by protecting their trapping grounds, is evidenced in a new story in the Star last week. The story told of Wallace McKee, pre- sident of the New Ontario Trap- pers‘ Association, and a compan- ion, Victor Growbargcr, who car- ried out a diligent hunt in tihe Thur Lake district for the pre- dators. The two hunters bagged only four wolves in two weeks, resorting to traps, snares and guns, and have reached the con- clusion that the wolvcs have chased the deer out of the area and have themselves deserted the district. Mr. McKee estimates that one big wolf will kill l0 deer in a season and he suggests that some form of predator control should be instituted. The thought is one worthy of consideration by the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests when trappers show a willingness to voluntarily devote time to tho destruction of wolves. —Sudbury Star.
