CHARLOTTETOWN rnunsmr. DEC. 21, 1950 Youth Problems

President 'l'ruman's Mid-century White House Conference on Children and Youth recently reported on a whole series -of recommendations for the benefit of the rising generation. The conference was at- tended by 6,Ut!t) parents, social workers and youth experts from all parts of the United States, and a few from Canada- One of the delegates was Controller-elect Char- lotte Whitton of Ottawa. The conference disclosed what. in the opinion of such a group, should be done during the next ten years (that is, until another conference) to insure "for each child a healthy person- ality.”

More should be done by government authorities. it was agreed. to instruct youth in the serious nature of, the world crisis and in the principles of democracy. The meaning of the atom bomb should be ex- plained, and with that, communities should be encouraged to prepare civil defences against it. The fact that a. civil popula- tion is defendable against the atom bomb, it would seem, is a main point to be driven home. The conference, judging from re- ports. tended to be critical of the slow pro- gress being made against segregation and discrimination in the United States. of em- phasis on examinations in the school sys- tem, of political encroachments on educa- tion, of treatment of juvenile problems, and of the decline in religious instruction.

In such a conference. notes an ex- change. the striking fact is that problems of youth are widely recognized as of a paramount interest to the nation. What's more, modern society commands the means of solving them. Freedom from fear, one of the chief Causes of maladjustment. is after all to be achieved mainly by better understanding.

Government In Business

The direct participation of Government in business activities which is becoming more common daily brings with it new problems. It was decided in 1916 that a company incorporated by a Province can be empowered by another Province to carry on business within its boundaries. The status of a Provincial Government itself doing business in another Province is still far from settled.

The Saskatchewan Government's insur- ance company has for about a year been writing guarantee insurance in Alberta, to the annoyance of that Province's Social Credit Government, which consequently refused to licence the company for 1950. Saskatchewan has now acquiesced in the termination of its extra-provincial activ- ities and the question is again at rest, though without having been authoritatively settled.

The Ultimate Responsibility

Critics of literature, motion pictures, radio, journalism and automobile design are frequently loud and bitter in their complaints against the type of product which is offered to the public in these and other fields. Contempt is heaped on the unfortunate heads of artists, managers and financiers for the alleged shortcom- ings of their work.

It should not. be forgotten. however, that the same public hasthe remedy in its own hands. Given public acceptance and sup- port there would soon be an abundant sup- ply of almost any type of artistic produc- tion.

Every day someone essays a different kind of motion picture, a "different" maga- zine or a new-fangled mousetrap .. and promptly loses his shirt. Only if the fickle public supports the project can it survive, so that it is literally true that the public gets what it demands.

The traditional picture of the beef-eating Eng- lishman is sadly out of date. I I 0 Fresh falls of snow are pleasant to see but all too often bring hardship to the birds both in town and country. particular- ly when a crust has formed Feeding them at such times of scarcity is a task of mercy gladly performed by many busy but kind- hearted housewives. 0 O 3 One of the old French Christmas cus- toms is the "buche de Noel” or Yule log. In the Provinces it is still customary to burn a ”buche de Noel" on Christmas Eve. While this tradition has largely fallen into 'disuse in Paris and other large cities, bakers there make long. narrow cakes cov- ered with chocolate icing to resemble logs, and garnish with colored candied fruits to represent flames. O O I Now the "cold" war is on the brink of developing into a torrid one, with Cana- dian and Allied troops concentrating on the Old Country once more. It is just seven years since the last of the "guest" children of the Second Great War left our shores on return to Britain to be absorbed in the army and kindred forces which were about to bring Germany to her knees, and, alas, as jt turned out, the Allied nations as well to offset the new foe, Communist Russia. 0 I 0 During the interruption of cable service with the mainland, the C. P. utilized a channel of the Telephone Company's micro- wave station at Tea Hill, and the army was prepared to fill the breach if needed. It may be mentioned that away back in 1920 when we were having trouble getting cable communication with both Nova Sco- tia and New Brunswick, the Guardian tried to persuade the Canadian Press to give us beam connection such as had been suc- cessfully carried out between the Prairies and British Columbia. 0 1 O A decrease from the past two years in the movement of Canadian cattle and beef in the United States is predicted in a re- port to the U. S. Department of Agriculture by C. A. Harlan, marketing specialist. The expected drop is attributed by Mr. Harlan to the readjustment of the Canadian cat- tle industry from a controlled industry to one of free marketing. Following Canada's lifting of the embargo on movement of cat- tle and beef in August 1948, and subse- quently the devaluation of the Canadian dollar in September 1949, exports to the United States set a record high, it was noted. I O 0

Country people in Britain still watch the sky on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day for signs of a change in the weather. for there is an ancient belief that the wear ther at this time is a strong portend for that to come throughout the year. "Wise and cunning masters of astrology.” we are told. "have found that a man may see and mark for the weather of Holy Night how the -whole year after shall be." When Christmas night was clear and starry, it was taken that the year's crop of fruit and wine would be a plentiful one. On the other hand, if Christmas night was foul and windy, the year to come would be "very scant of wine and fruit." But if the wind arose at the rising of the sun then "it bctokeneth great dearth of cattle and beasts this year.” And if the wind arose at sunset "it signifies death to some among the kings and great lords." -

LARRY GORMAN

Sir,-The recent letter of Mr. Mc- Innis of Vancouver in The Guar- dian Forum is 5 model of modesty and proper literary decorum. The accompanying verse seems to merit a place in bhe classics. too. Your humble scribe does not,want to arrogate to himself the qualifica- tions of a connoisseur or pose as a judge of prosody. but will risk the assertion that Mr. Mclnnis must be quite familiar with the classical styles of Shakespeare, Milton and Byron. I think he may rest assured that Gorman wrote "Prince Edward Isle Adieu". I can't say positively. but I know that in the extreme West- ern part of P. E. I.. where the bard lived after he came to inan- hood. the song was attributed to him-and none other. There is quite a vein of cynicism and satire permeating the poet's songs. People -had to walk lightly and respectfully in his presence. Anyone who incurred his displeas- ure through "gyipping" in wages or unfair barter was immortalized in the most vitriolic verse - set. to musical rhythm as old perhaps as the llberians and Catalonians who colonized Hibernia (Ireland) and Caledonia (Scotland). Larry German had a great God- given gift for spontaneous versifi- cation. He. with some neighiboi-'5 boy was seated for supper at a house in Miminigash. about to par- take of 8. plateful of oatmeal por- ridge. and other comestlbles when the arrival of some "split-tailed" aristocracy was announced. The porridge and other pobulum was quickly waftcd from the table and "something more fancy substituted. One of the visitors jokingly asked Gonman to say Grace. He respond- ed instantly with- "The Lord be praised. I amazed. How last things are amended. ' There's cake and -pie for you and I (glancing at the boy). when porridge was intended!" Gorman later emigrated to Maine where he was quite famous. He wrote the novel called "King Spruce". I-Te belonged to a smart family. His brother Thos. Gorman was editor of "Progress." a Sum- merside paper. Tommy Golfman me great sport impressario is a son of the editor. Mr. Mclnni.s' informant on "Peter Emrberly" (the great lament) told him i.rut.h. The song was made in Miramichi. I think if Mr. Mclnnls will write Harold Doyle. Campbell- ton. Lot 4. P.E.'I.. he will send him the lowdown on those Island lyrics. Mr. Doyle can do a good join him- self on present-day happenings-
