Tin llew Lieutenant Governor

The announcement over the weekend of the appointment of the Hon. T- W. L. Prowse as Lieutenant Governor of the Province in succession to His Honour Lieutenant Governor Bernard was gener ally anticipated. and will be welcomed by all classes of our peoplef The appointment takes effect on October 1st.

Mr. Prowse has been prominent in busi- ness and public affairs for many years. As president and general manager of Prowsc Bros. Ltd.. he has been in close contact with our farmers as well as urban resi- dents, and is known personally throughout .the Province. In civic politics he proved unbeatable as a candidate, his election to the office of Mayor in 1930 by acclamation being a striking tribute to his widespread popularity. He was also a tower of strength to the Liberal party provincially, and dur- ing his two terms in the Legislature as minister without portfolio won the personal friendship of every member in the House, as well as the confidence of the electorate.

Mr. Prowse is noted for his courtesy and geniality,-two important qualifications for the high position which he has been called upon to fill at Government House. He has an ideal helpmate in the person of Mrs. Prowse, who is well known as a charming hostess.

To the retiring Lieutenant Governor and Mrs. Bernard the people of this Province Ire greatly indebted for the manner in which the finest traditions at Government House have been maintained during I-lis .H'onour's term of office.

A Farmer iletailates-

At least -one farmer has been able to turn the tables on that particularly objec- tionable breed of picnickers who break into 3. field without asking and leave it looking as if a garbage cart had been overturned. The story is told by the Owen Sound Sun- Times, and re-told in the Financial Post.

This farmer managed to catch the lie- ense number of the picnickers' car as it de- parted, and looked up the ownership at the license bureau- The following Sunday, with all his family and pets, the farmer turned up at the town house owned by the picnic party family. There was no one at home, of course-the people were probably out de- spoiling another bit of countryside-so the farmers family staged a full-scale picnic on the well-kept lawn.

Needless to say, they made no attempt to clean up afterward and left the town dweller's lawn and garden in. the same disgraceful shape that he and his family had left the farmer's place the week be- fore.

Canadian Government is in the unfor- tunate position of being about to meet a Parliament, called to deal with a serious crisis, in which the Government has such a majority of tame followers that it is al- most impossible to expect useful, construc- tive debate of the problems which face the nation, and which, it has to be said, with- out any acrimony, the present G)7:.”n- ment has signally failed to solve.

His later works include his two great novels, "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina"; as a writer, intensely realistic and full of in- terest.

C The Individual

It has been observed by various students of history, including Earl Russell, thati since before the time of Attila (A.D. 406- 453), there has always been conflict be- tween the civilization of the West, with its emphasis on the dignity of the individ- ual, and that of the horde, thsri repre- sented by the Hun.

Europe was saved largely by Attilals defeat at Chalons with a loss of 200,000. men but the horde did not die.

Again and again it has threatened to overrun Europe, changing in form and name, but whether as Vandals, Tartars or otherwise it remains essentially the same. The present form is bolshevik but it still represents thq mass mind, the complete .in- nihilation of individual rights and aspir- ations, and the elevation of the group to be the be-all and end-all of existence.

What the United Nations stand for to- day is the dignity of man as opposed to the worship of the state. '

A change in management of the Duke of Windsor's ranch near Pekisko; Alta., from the P. Burns Agencies Ltd., to the Colonization Department of the Canadian Pacific Railway is announced. Mr. H. C. P. Cresswell, of Montreal, chief commissioner of the C.P.R.'s Department of Immigration and Colonization, reports plans include it sale at public auction of 80 head of register- ed Shorthorn cattle. The house at the E.P. ranch wlll' be renovated so it will be habitable the year-round. Registered sheep herds will be extended, and the Shorthorn herd will be replaced by some commercial cattle, possibly Herefords. The Duke of Windsor purchased the 4,000-acre ranch in 1919 when he was Prince of Wales. 0 O 0

Mountain Flying With Helicopters

(E. F. Clendenan in Canadian

Aviation.) Bump-jumping, or flying with helicopters is specialty of Okanagan Air serv- ices, Vancouver. In less than three years of this unique type of charter flying, Okanagan has accumulated a variety of ex-

anywhere.

The operation, under manager Carl Agar, has been strictly a mountain-hopping effcirt. All the miles have been mountain miles, and many of the charter assign- ments have had no rule books to go by. for that sort of flying simply isn't in the books. Prov- ing amining claim on an in- accessible mountain ridge. ferry- ing all the supplies for building of an important dam beyond the reach of surface transport o: completing in one season, I live-year power line survey, the Okanagan flying cperation has been pioneering all the way.

Before the first landing was made, the helicopter had hovered in inches above the mow. The crew man had jumped into the knoc-deep drift to spread Ind weight the stslps of tIrpIulln for the "lInding field". From this landing patch, the freight was cIri-led by tcboggan down I slope to the drilling site on c-ledge 290 ft. below.

Good news about the people of Vermont! The census says "they are still a minority. but they are gaining on their cows, which hIve long outnumbered them. Vermonters are nice people. And as nice as cows mIy be. we still prefer the 375,330 Vermonters to the 405,000 cows.

COLONIAL SECRETARY FIRED

A constant source of irritation in Colonial days was the interfer- ence by Lleutenant Governors with the prerogatives of the Legislature. The Island was not wanting in pub- llc-spirited champions, who fre- quently incurred the wrath of His Majesty's representative. and lost their jobs and cxmoluments as a re- sult. The following excerpt from the Royal Gazette relates to a case in point, the victim in this instance being Hon. Francis Longworth. Colonial secretary. The excerpt is in the form of a public notice, signed by Sir Alexander Banner- msn, Lieutenant Governor. It is dated Saturday afternoon, 3rd June,

854:

"The Lieutenant Governor has just seen in ,'The Islandei” of yes- terday's date. the Colonial Secre- tary's address to his constituents, in which the Secretary says: The Lieutenant Governor having, on his own responsibility, and in my opin- ion, contrary to the fundamental principles of self or R M Government, dissolved the House of .I.sscmbly', etc.

"The Lieutenant Governor must. inform the secretary. that if such be his opinion, he ought tniitiintly to have resigned his seat as a member of the Government, and not have affixed his signature. as colonial secretary, he continuing" in the Government, to a Proclamation for a dissolution. contrary, in his opin- ion, to 'the fundamental principles of Self Government!
