The Convention

our political conventions are not by any means such colourful affairs as those in the United States but they are just as important. The Pro- gl'l-ssiv'c-tRillscrvativcs dresscd up their Island convention vcry consul- erably by adding a rally at which a probable successor to their national leader was principal speaker. Ills personality and that of the local candidates did much to create a feel- ing of vitality.

The annual meeting indicated that something more of the conser- vative than the progressive is in evi- dence. The re-election of all the of- ficers of the association indicates confidence in the leadership on the part, of the rank and file. It also indicates a measure of stability which the party has not always shown.

The focus of interest, so far as the local organization is concerned, is the leadership of the Provincial party. Mr. R. R. Bell, Q.C. had in- dicated after the last general elec- tion that he intended to resign. At the annual meeting he expressed his willingness to continue to lead the party. In the interval. of course, meeting after meeting of the Pro- gressive-Conservatlve party had ex- pressed confidence in his leadership and it is not altogether surprising that he should have reconsidered.

The Bible Today

According to a report of the Brit- ish and Foreign Bible Society, Can- -ada todays reads the Bible in 110 languages. In which language it first Ippeared in this country is not known. Perhaps it was introduced in the Latin by John Cabot in 1497. Jacques Cartier may have brought the first copy with him in 1535. Copies of the English authorized version probably came ashore at Halifax with a British colony that

Gospel of St. John was published In England for the Mohawk Indians living near Brantford in 1804. This edition of 2,000 was the first issued by I Bible Society anywhere in the world. In that year the first such Society was formed--the British and Foreign Bible Society.

Since then the Bible has been available in seventeen Canadian In- dlan tribal dialects or tongues. The first complete New Testament to be Issued in one of them was printed In 1859. It was in the Western or Plains Cree dialect spoken by Indians from Hudson Bay to Lake Winnipeg and along the Saskatchewan River. Three years later this language had the complete Bible.

In 1819 the Governor of Cape Breton state (I that he knew of settlers from the Highlands of Scot- land travelling from 80 to 100 miles to obtain a Bible in Gaelic.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The United States spends about S25!) million a year in subsidies to the school luncheon program. Last year nearly ii million youngsters were given lint lunches with milk at an average cost to each pupil of 20 cents per meal. This rcpresents about half the cost. The rest is made up by federal subsidies.

A lcctllrcr in psyclli:ltl'y says that one difficulty in the way of public health programs is "the grow- ing tcndency of emotional upsets to become fnshionnhlo". That's always been a problem.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Oct. 18. I931)

The storm which was pretty gen- eral throughout the west of the Province yesterday washed away a good portion of Schurmnnll Wharf at the Eastern end of Sum- merside harbour. Two sections in the middle of the wharf are com- pletely destroyed.

TEN YEARS AGO (Oct. I8, 1948)

The Agricultural Prices Support Board will support the potato mar- ket in the surplus-producing prov- inces of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, the Agric- ultural.Dr.-partment announced to-

.rlay. The decision follows repres- rntalinns made in Ottawa early this month by a 30-mandelegation representing potato growers in the five eastern provinces.

The death occurred at the P.E.I. Hospital last night of Mr. Harry

the Queen Hotel. Born in Winni- peg seventy-four years ago. the late lVlr. Brown came to Char- loltetown as Manager of the Vic- toria Hotel about twenty-eight years ago.

The survey was carried out by Drs. ILA. Love and Lewis K. Dairl It the Brookhaven National Labo- ratory at Upton, New York.

They classified the employees into three categories: those who never used table salt, those who ways salted foods before they tas- afier tasting and those who al- added salt to their foods buy only ted them.

Only one of the 185 persons In the first category developed essen- tall hypertension. Forty-three of the 630 in the second classifica- tion developed the ailment. But 61 out of 581 persons who salted untasted food were found to have the disease.
