Mo]. MacDonald Addresses large Soutls A_udlent:e

Eastern King’: County Progra- alve Conservative: and others from Scuris and other Eastern King's centres crowded the Bouri: Thea- tre at Souri: on Monday night to hear Major J. A. MacDonald, Pro- gressive Conservative candidate for that county in the forthcom- ing Federal election.

Major MacDonald in his open- ing remarks stated that the citiz- ens at this time are interested in what the Progressive conservative Party has to offer and this breaks itself down into: (l) Its leader: (I) Its policy; and (5) It: candi- dates.

The speaker dwelt on the abil- ities and training cf the Hon. George Drew. national leader. pointing out hi: interest in public affairs from a very early age, his war service for this country in the first war. his apprenticeship in civic polities at Guelph, later rneyor of that city; his entry into Provincial politics in Ontario; his election a: Premier of that Pro- vince on three occasions; his elec- tion as national leeder of the Pro- gressive Conservative Party in Ot- tawa in October lest; his election to the House of Common: in the Carleton by-election, and finally hi: excellent leadership in the House of Commons during the past session. Major MacDonald claimed Mr. Drew had proven himself a fighting leader for the Canadian people, and the type which today was sadly needed for their next Prime Minister.

The Kim's County candidate went into the various policies of the Progressive Conservative Pu- ty, both on international and ria- ticrial affairs, and spoke with great ease and clarity on such matters as free enterprise, cent- ralisation of powers at Ottawa. aocial security. income tax, Do- minicrl-Provlnclel relations. freight rates, civil service, old age pen- sions, etc.

Referring to the lack of interest taken. by the present Covernnient in King's County. Major MacDon- ald stressed the proposed winter service froin Georgetown to Pictou a suitable airport or landing strip for the County, extension of the trans-Canada highway from Wood Island to Souris. and other mat- ters e.: illustrative of some of the matters neglected in his County by the Liberals.

Major MacDonald said the pro- spects for his party at this time looked good all across the coun- try. and snug-ht the aid of his audience in‘ electing him on June Nth as the next Federal MP. for that County. If elected. the can- didate claimed he would work solely in the interests of King's County to see fair and just treat- ment extended to that County in all such matters.

Henry Mallard of Souris. sec- retary of the King's County Pro-

gressive Conservative Aeyccintion presided over the meet ng as chairman.

Other speaker: included Mr. J. R. MaoLean, M.I..A., Dr. A. A. MacDonald, Melvin J. MecQtzaid. LLB. and N. H. Richard-I. all of Sourls. and A. walthen Gaudet. LLB. of Charlottetown. the par- ty's public relations officer for this

foresees Race 0f Mixed Blood In Newlealand

l! l. C. GIAIAI

AUCKLAND, N22. May 3—(CP) --The dwv lopment of e mixed race of New Zealander: of Europ- ean and Maori blood has been forecast by Sir Peter Buck.‘ ‘Ack- nowledged as the greatest living authority on Pacino ethnc‘ v, he recently made a comprehensive

tour of almost all Maori settle- manta. 8i!‘ Peter. who is himself of

mixed Maori and Irish descent. has been revisiting New Zealand after many years overseas. He is director of the Bishop Museum. Honolulu, and was formerly pro- feseor of anthropology at Yale.

He has found great changes in the Maori race since he was last among his people over ii years ago. He is convinced that "the "Meoria have come to town for good" and that the blood and citlturee of the Dceirinicn’: two races should be merged for the benefit of themselves and New Zeaierid.

"The mixing of races will go on." he says. "In future I~ see the development of a line race of New Zealanders composed of pek- eha (European) and Maori. ’1‘.he mixture of bloods should lead New Zeaiahd to the forefront ctf civil- iaaticn."

Sir Peter says that the Maoris have made the greateet advance of any colored people of the Pac- ific. They ca‘n achieve anything that other peoples can, with as much distinction.

The closer integration the Maori: have achieved with European sc- ciety since hi: last visit has as- tonished him. On all sides, he says, there is evidence of Maori: adapting lhGmSClVcs to new con- ditions and adjusting their way of life to oo-otperate more freely with the paireha.

Maori Progrcn

He feels the race no longer needs the special protection ac- corded it by law in the past. For this reason he welcomes the re- cent repeal of laws which prohib- ited Maori: from buying liquor to drink at home and also the lifting of the restriction which banned Maori women from hotel bars. As long as these restrictions on his freedom, existed. the Maori felt inferior and irresponsible, he de- clares. Psychclogically, the re- moval of the bars was an excel- lent thing. y

"There were abuses in the pest. but the Maori has developed since then. They cannot always remain children. '

"DI the Maori: are to continue merging more and more withpek- cha. life, the old distinctions must go.” Sir Peter declares. but he advocated the continuation of ef- forts to preserve some cl the old Maori culture hand-in-hihd with the process of adjustment. Certain elements cf Maori culture ehculd be retained to give the race a. full respect for its origin and t0 re- move any vestlge of an inferior- ity complex. In the home and schools. too. some attempti should be made to preserve the Maori

language.

Statistics . give strong support for sir Peter's view. Of New Zealand's 1.602.000 people. We! 100.000 are classed as Maori: and the native race, cnce bellcved to be dying out. is increasing more rapidly than the Etrrcpeans.

Q: the 106,000 Malaria, however. it is estimated that only about half are of unmixed Maori stuck- The remainder are either half- caste or three-quarter-casts Macr- is. There are many quarter-castes included in the European popula- tlon.

The proportion cf Maori: of un- mixed blood la felling steadily. Maori: inter-marry incmllrtely freely with the white population-

Experts out. Reaching Mars Wlih Telepathy

By NORMAN CEIBBINS Canadian Praia Staff Writer LONDON. May P-Comniunica-

tlon with Mars by mental tele-p. athy is envisaged by some mem- bera of the British Ihterplanetury Society. -

Ridiculous? A few members say ‘Yes’ though they believe rocket travel to Mars" will one day bc an accomplished fact. Some, like m- dlo engineer James Fslrley, de- clare "the wireless of the mind" is no more incredible than radio was B0 years ago.

When interplanetary telepathy we: discussed at a recent meeting of the society. mention was made of experiments conducted by Dr. J. B. Rhone cf Duke University. North Carolina. These experim- ents proved that thoughts could be exchanged between people in separate, sealed rooms-anti oven in separate towns.

To the diaotuaicn members con- tributed examples of how messag- es sometimes flash from brain to brain and of how people with perhaps half the world separating them “can become animated at the same instant. by a similar thought."

"Many people have telepathic power without knowing it," one member said. "That is their brains

unknown to them their thoughts are picked up by others~ueualiy people in mental harmony with themselves.

Short I istancea First

Another member then auggested that one day people on earth might be able to ‘ t- with intelligent beings on such a planet as Mars by telepathy.

A tussle of arguments for and against followed. ‘Phase in favor of interplanetary telepathy numbered eight or nine. The general view, however, was that telepathic com- numication over much shorter dis- tance: had yet to be established on e firm basis.

The real business of the society, whose members includeplaywright Bernard Shaw and aviator Jim Mollison. is to promote the poe- aibllity of travel through specs- possibly by rocket ship.

0n his return from Canada last February, Molliscn said he would be willing to volunteer for an "ex- perimental flight to the moon."

‘Pwo society mecrlbera-englneer H. E. Worth and R. A. Smith- have designed at spaceship on paper and now are discussing the building of it with fellow members engaged in scientific research.

Arrange Feeding For Baby's Needs

CAMBRIDGE, England, May 3 — (CP) — Throw away that sche- dulc 0f babies meal/times and feed a child when he l: hungry. salya Dr. Douglas Gairdner of Ad- dlnbrcke‘: Hospital here.

"Feed him five or six or seven times a day if he wants." Dr. Gairdner told a group of nurses. "Study the child, learn when he is hungry. and feed him when he is.

"In my experience, what hap- pens when you feed a baby when- ever he wants it is that very sooth he puts himself on a reglma sur- prisingly liloe the ordinary plan- ned schedule.

""1" c"'*"non sense in feeding children. Feeding e. baby at def- iihle times on a. rigid schedule does not take into account the dif- ferences between various babies. “Under - feeding l: common; over-feeding is rare. Most babies are impossible to over-feed. They either go to sleep, refuse to take more or regurgitatc the excess. "In the United States where natural feeding ha: long been out of fashion, the psychiatrists are in the van of demanding its re- turn. '

"Today lnwlBritain to feed one‘: baby is increasingly fashionable atrnong the professional classes and may become the fashion am- onI the artisan classes."

Probe Disappearance of Nerf-h Sec Herring

LOWESTOFI‘, Ilngland, May 3 -- (OP) -Fl.aherie.s research scientist: are trying to solve the tnystery of Britain's vanished hdring.

Drifter skippers report their spring herring voyages to the North Sea. are a total failure this year. and all but a few have abandoned fur- ther trips. ‘_

One drifter skipper. RE. Catch- pole, said he could recall other years "when herring were so plenti- ful at Loweatoft that they sold for a. shilling (:0 cents) a thousand."

But now the schools have di - peered. No one can account for t e absence of the herring which nor- mally form a great pert of Brit- ain's predominantly fish diet in these day; of meat rationing.

In previous ycers after the herr- ing epawned in the English Channel they always returned to the North Sea in the spring. Scientist: are trying to discover if the fish have changed their habits or if recent gales have infiuencedjhean.

Swamp Specimens Link Willi Past

CHRISTCHURCH. N.Z-. Ml? 3 __ (OP) -- Page: of New Zea- land's prehistoric past are belns opened up with the exca/vation of a swamp at Waikari. in the south Island. Here in the past few years have been unearthed more than 100 complete skeletons of the nice, huge fllghtless bird which inhabited New Zealand before its discover-y by the Eurowlm- l! well as of other extinct bird-i about which little has hitlwrl-O been known.

Collections of moa bones have been found 1h many PM" °i NW’ Zeeland. but they have rarely b?!" complete skeletons. It has been necessary to piece tcilflh" b01195 from various wlieotions. At Wai- kari. however, the birds died in the swamp. In many N!" l“ contents of the gluards are in- tact. throwing a great amount of light ortthe food and habit! 0i the birds.

About 140 complete specimens of mos skeletons have been tell"! from the swamp. Resemhlirig an ostrich but with huge sturdy legs. the moa is now thought to have been dying out before the first Maoris came to New Zealend. but there 4s ample evidence that the Maorls hunted and killed the sur- v vivors for food and clothing. Skeletons have also been found Ln the swamp of an extinct goose, a giant woodhen larger than a turkey. of the extinct. New Zeal- and eagle, as well as the remains of creatures which survive today as the kiwi and the tuetar: lizard.
