GIIARLOTTETOWN,

Illg Week In Prospect

Monday is Dominion Day and a public holiday, and this year it also marks anoth- er big milestone, as it will be the opening day of the regular schedule of Charlotte- town's first Festive Week programme, with ceremonial parade, sports, street dancing and other activities. The day also marks the anniversary of Prince Edward Island's entry into Confederation, which took place in 1873 after a good deal of hesitancy on our part, and much urging, prompting and promise-making on the part of the Domin- ion. That is an old story now, and if we havent profited to the extent of the larger Provinces under the terms of union at least we are proud of our own contribution to the Confederation achievement.

Next week we hope to show our fellow- Canadians what we can do in the way of entertainment on a big scale, and also some- thing of the beauties and advantages of out Island Province and. its capital. In the meantime, however, let his remember that preceding the festivities will be tomorrows religious observances. Special Dominion Day services are being held in many of the churches, and in the evening the of- ficial opeiiiiig of Festive Week will take place at the Memorial Field, Victoria Park.

It is fitting that while the spirit of cel- ebration abounds, aii opportunity be given for pondering on more serious matters. 1'. is for the purpose of dedication ratheil than jollification that tomorrow nightls function is being held, and if this fact is borne in mind it will add greatly to our en- joyment of the subsequent festivities

Pulpwood Sources

In order to give the public more intim- ate information with respect to the ma- terial which goes into the manufacture of pulp and paper the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association has had prepared 11 booklet entitled ”Trees". It is a portfolio of six landscapes depicting the chief pulp- wood species together with a description of the forests. ,Spruce, balsam, jack pine. eastern and western hemlock and poplar are depicted by Canadian artists.

In an article on the forest harvest, read-

ers are reminrled that the forests ”rema.ivi a great bastion of Canadian commerce" Canada's forests, it is pointed out. cover about ll; million square miles. With rc- spect to consumption and regrowth it is stated that Canada does not as yet exceed the annual increment of the forests. Nine tenths of these are owned by the people of Canada and from the provincial govern- ments thc pulp and paper mills len::r- some 140,000 square miles.

Wrong Side ,

Uuc of the worst hi;-'hway nicnaces. ac- cording to a survey by an American insur- ance company, is the driver who uses the wrong side of the road. The conditions under which the count was made were those of paved highways and the behaviour noted was crossing the center white line.

Off the pavement. on secondary dirt or gravel roads, the practice is even more general. It seems to be very nearly irresist- ible for car drivers to follow the same beat- en track whichever way they may be head- ed. The danger, of course, is obvious. Two cars proceeding in opposite directions are not unusually approaching one another at the rate of 100 m.p.h. and the drivers must take action to avert collision. It would cer- tainly'be better for all concerned if each remained on his own side and could safely meet oncoming traffic even when suddenly encount'ered.

Korea's Slgiiltlcaiico

Perhaps the clearest way of assessing the significance of the Korean war, says the Winnipeg Free Press, is to picture the probable course of events if aggression had gone unchecked. The United Nations would have lost most, if not all, of its moral authority. Malaya, Burma and Indo- China would have been marked down as the ; next victims. Japan would have reconsid- .,-I cred her decision to become the ally of the

West. She would have contemplated coming

to terms at an appropriate hour with Rus-

sia and China. which in these circumstances would have established their claim to be the dominant powers in the Pacific. In ; nlrope, Ruulc. might have repeated the new technique.-aggression by proxyw-by

having one of its satellites attack Yugo- slavia or by having Eastern Germany at- tack Western Germany. Somewhere in this catalogue of misfortune and disaster would have been the spark to start another world war.

In place of that'tragedy, the free na- tions for the first time in history have un- ited in collective resistance to armed aggres- sion; the war has been localized in Korea and is being fought with success; and all the democracies under the spur of the K0- rean crisis have greatly increased their de- fence preparations and are better equipped now to meet any Russian assault than they were a year ago.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Tomorrow, 6th Sunday after Trinity. 0 0 0,

Festive Week opens with Dominion Day services in the churches, a good beginning for visitors and natives alike.

The pillory was abolished in England this date 1837. In 1816 it had been abolished for all offences except perjury for which the offender continued liable to have his ears nailed to the pillory.

This generation of Canadians has got into the habit of welcoming Dominion Day with the uneasy feeling that each may be the last, before someone unknown decides that it should be celebrated under some other designation.

0'Keefe's and Glenfinnan Lakes are the Mecca for anglers starting tomorrow as the season opens for Rainbow trout. The limit of three daily and the requirement that they be taken only with artificial flies

guarantees against any wholesale slaughter. O O O

Drowning tragedies emphasize the iiec- essity for constant attention to safety precautions in boats or in the water. The ability to swim and having life preservers handy may make a possible fatality merc- ly a holiday incident.

There is little to commend the proposal to bring home Canadals dead from Korea. Their graves in the land where they fought the first battle against war itself provide a more fitting final resting place than even the land of their fathers.

Toronto Board of Control has decid- ed to make a personal appeal to Defence Production Minister Howe for a permit to use steel already cut out for the Moss Park Recreation Centre in the cityls east end. Earlier they rejected a motion to appeal to Prime Minister St. Laurent. "If we go over l-lowe's head, he will blow up,” commented Controller John Innes. That seems to be the general opinion in other parts of Can- ads as well.

Next week promises to be one of the busiest and most hectic in Charlottetown's history. The programme arranged is com- prehensive and varied, with events daily to interest nearly everybody. Its supervision and direction will entail a great deal of re- source and personal attention. A policy of ”let George do it", might easily lead "to a pretty dance"-but not of the kind that would be appreciated, far less enjoyed. It is a blessing Brigadier Reid is in control; he lias the experience and initiative necessary.

As an explanation of the current finan- cial difficulties of many Canadian munic- ipalities, President P. H. Boivin at the con- vention of the Federation of Mayors and Municipalities quoted these comparisons of the division of the taxpayers dollar:

1930 1948 Municipal Government ........ .. 4094'; 1275: Provincial Government ....., 2206 20',”2; Federal Government 389?. (?8Ch

In the past (says the Financial Post) too often the various authorities have gone ahead with their budgets with little regard to the needs of the other or the fact that all the money was coming out of one poc- ket. Only now when that pocket is being turned inside out do they seem to realize that there is a limit to their total take. For that at least the taxpayer will be duly thankful.

O

Advancing money to foreign countries while neglecting local interests does not al- ways pay. Minister of Trade Howe in 1949, made 5850,000 in advances to the George T. Davie and Sons, Ltd., shipyard "for the purpose of enabling that compaiiv to complete and to deliver ships to the Ming Sung Industrial Company. Ltd." These are the ships which made the headlines recent- ly when it was learned that they were op- erating under the Canadian flag-under ownership of a company, with headquarters in Red China-into Chinese Communist ports. At the time. that .'li850.000 was writ- ten off by the Government-and by a sonic- what reluctant Parliament-as a total loss. One official source now indicates, however. that the Government has since recovered most of this money. The capital advances

were made under mortgage security.

THE NEW KIRK

The foundation stone of the present St. Jamet Church bulld- lng in Charlottetown-known for years as "the New Kirk"-wul laid on June 7. 1877, by the Mlnlgiter, Rev. Kenneth MacLennan at an impressive ceremony at which all denominations of Protestant: in the Provliice were represented. Hon. James Duncan, chairman of the building committee, presided. The chief speakers were Rev. R. S. Patterson. Bedeque. and Rev. D. Gordon, of Ottawa. Full details of the ceremony appeared in the ncwspapcrs of the day, from whlcli the following details are taken:

In congratulating the congrega- tion on their decision to build in suitable new edifice, Rev. Mr. Pat- terson recalled that in 1824, when he set foot first upon the shores of Prince Edward Island, there! was not a single Presbyterian place of worship in Charlottetown. and only three Presbyterian min- isters in the Island. These were the Rev. Dr. Keir. Rev. Mr. Doug- las and Rev. William McGregor.

The contractors for the erection of the church. at a cost of about 5520.000 currency. were Messrs. James K. MacDonald, New Glas- gow, C. MacDonald. Londonderr;-', N.S., and William H. Fraser, Westville, N. S.. who had under- taken to complete the. building on the first day of October, 1878. ac- cording to the plans and spec- ifications of David Stirling, Esq.. architect. a member of the firm of Messrs. Stirling and Dewar. llnlifax and Charlottetown. The style of the building is desci-lberl as "English Gothic of the decor- nted period of the Middle Ages.” The height from surface to top of the spire was to be 130 feet. with seating accommodation for about 700 persons.

The names of the office bearers fit. that time. will be of interest today:

Kirk Session: Rev. Kenneth Mr- Lennan. minister; John Mackieson, M.D.; Col. the Hon. John ll. Gray. C.M.S.. Peter Gregor. Archibald Kciiucdy. John McPherson, Am- hrose L. Brown. Alexander Mc- Kirinon. Elders.

:1! there is any clarion note to be sounded in the democracies today it is this: "Don't give in to chaos." We must not allow ourselves to become so accustomed to the lower tone of the existence we are at present compelled to live that we lose the virtues and capacities we have so hardly won.

It would be fatal. indeed. if we al- lowed ourselves to think of the present state of the world as nor- mal. It is no easy job to tidy up our intellectual and spiritual universe, but we need to do it if we are to avoid bewilderment and to escape chaos, if we are not to allow all of our generations of progress to be whittled down to destruction by an era of violence and terror.

Realization of what is happening and that we should do something about it are the first steps out of bewilderment. Like the dice-player, we cannot tell what may be thrown; but carefully and skilfully to make use of what is thrown, that is where our proper business begins,

Joseph Mlazzlnl writes bitterly of people who see their principles trampled wlthoutr taking effective action to save them: '"I'hey lifted for a moment their drowsy heads, and then fell back into their old WYPOP. They saw the funeral pro- cession of our martyrs pass by, knew not that their rights, their life. their salvation. were being buried with them."
