Third King's Convention

The Progressive Clousurvtttivcs of Third King} mt- n» h,- c»: "ratulated upon their splen- did gpnv-gtitipit _\C:lL’l‘\l1t_\, resulting in the trotti- inatiou of Major _l. .\. .\lacDon2\ld, son of Senator llacllouald, as candidate for Mr. H. l‘. .\lcl~’ltee'~ scat in thc‘l.t';_-"islattttre. .~\ re- turnutl htlllll\l' with 1m excellent war record, Major Xlaclltittald has all the quailificatitytts of a first-class rcpwsettttttive and there is every reason to helzevi- that lie will he returned with 3.

Dr. Mac- .\lillau, was rep-tried suriottsly ill in hospital in 'l\>t'otitct.

One result of the Government's haste will be the tlisfranchiscutent of all Third King's service forces overseas and in other provinces. 'l'lte Jones (Iovcruttn-ttt is running true to form. lt did this itt the general provincial election, and is dottbtl§s hoping to “get away with it" again. This repetition of an absolute- ly inexcusable and conteinptible effort to de- fraud our fighting nicit of their votes will, we believe, be strongly rcsetttctl in Third King's, which is rightly pYOLld of its record of enlist- ments.

Premier Jones and his colleagues evidently regard our returning war veterans as of no im- portance so far as the franchise is concerned. They are saying so now for the second time. The electors of Third King's have the remedy in their own hands, and by returning Major MacDonald they can answer this insult not only for themselves but for the whole Province.

Health And Welfare Problems

Public I-Iuull/t aml lVv/ftire Organisation‘

in Canada is the title of a recently published book of great value to all coitcerned in these vitally important matters. The author, Dr. Harry M. Cassidy, is director of the School of Social \Vork, L'niversity' of Tliitrotito, and has held many important appointments, including that of Director of Training in general charge of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administrations training activities throughout the world. llis hook is a compatiion volume to the author's élttfltr/ §rt"t/ri'ly and ffccomttrttc- ffan in Ctllltlfffl, [itiblishcd iu lfchrttary, I943, which dealt, in survey fashion, with the his- torical background and ntajot" problems of build- ing a post-war system of social sccitrity. In this second hook he aualyzcs the problem of re- organizing and developing the provincial and local health and welfare >ervices so as to fit them into a national plan. The hook runs to over 450 pages. is well doctmtcittetl and iudcxetl, and covers cvcry section of fauadzt. .\ leugtlty" chap- tcr is devoted to the Klaritime Provinces. of which several pages are concerned with Prince Erlward lslatid.

' to a provincial minister. There is no

79*l'5fi\,_ need for relief responsibilities being delegated to

the few small municipalities, as is done at pres- ent on a somewhat informal basis. On the other hand, it seems that the peculiar circumstances of Prince Edward Island call for complete ceri- tralization of both welfare and health services at the provincial level."

To the existing public health department, he suggests, there might be added the provincial mental hospital and the provincial sanaioriunt, and it also might be given responsibility for the administration of grants to hospitals. The boards which tiqtv exercise direct supervision in these matters might remain as advlsorv bodies.

1n so small a provivnce, Dr. Cassidy does not see nmch polnt in combining the depart- ments of health and welfare tmlcss they con- sisted of two distinct divisions, headed by corti- pctent permanent officials. In that case they would be the equivalent of two separate de- partments. On the other hand he says that both in size and population the Island is verv suitable to be a health unit or a welfare tutit.

Two Distinct Days

This from the Ottawa Journal may be quot- ed without comment:

Once again we beg to remind all concerned that Empire Day is Empire Day and Victoria Day is Victoria Day and never the twain shall meet.

Empire Day is observed on May 23, is ob- served exclusively by the schools. It is marked by patriotic exercises in the schools, and is celebrated in this way throttgltotit the Empire.

\t"ict0ria Day, on .\lay 24, is a national holi- day", peculiar to Canada, and is established as a national holiday by Dominion law. “Victoria Day" is its official name. For the younger generation perhaps it needs to be said that it celebrates the birth of Queen Victoria.
