Maritime Air Service

Sonic time zigo it was announced by lion. W. P. Aluloclt, Postmaster General, that on or about April l5 the Hans-Canada air mail service would bc extended from Moiicton, the present eastern terminal, tn llaliiax, and that the frequency of service between Montreal, Moucton and Halifax would be increased to two round trips daily, iti- cluding Sunday. It was proposed to put on the route the rcgtilai‘ type of jiliiiic-—-ten-:.cilter Lock- hccds-—uscd in other parts of the Tiaits-Caiizida service.

New Brunswick members are now pressing iii the House of Commons for extension of the 'l‘r:ins-Cziiiada service t0 Saint John as wcll as llalifax. Tiransport Bliiiistcr Howe has stated in reply that consideration is being given to pro- viding better air service not only io Saint john, but to l-‘rcilericton, Sydney and Charlottetown.

Our Board of Trade should not miss this op- poruinity oi zigain pressing for sitcli iiiiprovc- niciit. 'l‘hcrc are two matters of coiuplaiilt with regard to the iccdei‘ service t0 this city. We want through air ticlcct .'irrzitigcnients to other parts 0f Canada, and also the application of the statutory 0 ccnis ]ll'l' mile air rate basis for passengers. The present raic oi b’ cents constitutes a diseriiiiiii- iiiioii which, iii \‘l\'\\' of the fact that the service is Subsidized by the Dominion Government, should not be tnlcrati-tl. The uuauguration of the new transcontinental plane service to Halifax is the opportune time for effecting a general improve- llll'lll. in ihc whole Alaritime service, which is coit- ciIlo-l to be lung nverdite.

Tlig-(jomiug Session

the sctiniil session oi the present General As- htllilily oi the Province opens here on Monday. The tact that we are at war, that there is no elec- tion in tlie inimeiliate offing, and that comparat- tivclj‘ liulc legislation is anticipated, are factors which should make for brevity. lloivever, the tIpptt-iiion, iiiough numerically weak, have an important function to perform. It is their duty to jirobe the Government's record, and every fac- iliiy should be provided for full and frank dis- cussion oi public affairs. Last yiear H011. Dr. i\lac.\lillaii and his colleagues in Opposition had frequently" to complain ot the withholding of iii- formation, a procedure which is not calculated t0 lll>lllf€ confidence in any administration.

It is hoped that the Government will take a wiser course this year. If s0, itcan depend upon the Upposition for loyal support in all measures connected with provincial and itational interests. There is happily no division of opinion as to the all-important issues at stake in our war efforts. It dt-pcnits largely upon Premier Campbell and his stipportcrs whether the session \vill be conducive to lurtlicring these efforts.

Again we arc reminded of the neglected condi- tion of our own railway wharf at Charlottetown, oi the money voted but never expended on this project, of the contract being cancelled on the ex- cuse 0f “wartime economy" after the material had actually bccn purchased and brought here at coii- sidcrable expense. There is now a shortage 0f modern harbor facilities in the Maritimes, and “temporary additions” have to be erected else-l \\'llt‘l't' because of the same war exigencies which have bccu given as an excuse for neglecting the Charlottetown project.

A—Publicity Suggestion

In the early months of the war the Dominion Government was perhaps fustiiicd in scrupulously zivoiiling nnytliiiig in the nature of Canadian war propaganda in the Unitedbtatcs. The passing of the lease-lend bill, with its implication of all possible zissistztnce to the British Commonwealth, has put the main-r in a different light. The over- ivhelming majority of the people of the United States would now welcome information about (LauadaIs war programme. Herc, suggests an exchange, is an excellent opportunity for gov- ernment publicity efforts.

"Millions of Americans have never been told about ilie sacrifices Canada is making. For eighteen months the Canadian Legation at Wash- ington was all but silent so far as effective public cxptisition of ibis country's case was concerned.

THE OWL BOUNTY ' Bin-In a letter received last week from a. resident of another Province the following appeared:

“I am wondering whether or not the P. E. Island Government is still wasting its money by paying

bounty on owls and 1f so, on what species is it. now paid?"

What was his idea for enquiring I cannot say, but do not imagine it was for "bootleg" purposes.

I was sorry as well as ashamed to have to tell him the facts, which I did by enclosing the ad- vertisement appearing In the press. It; is true of course that owls have to eat. to live but. nevertheless they fulflll a ver important part; in the plan o! lie.

Our experience has been that jwhere birds are well fed and look- Ied after as the majority of them have been this year, that neither ‘Hawks or Owls are abie to cap- ture them. but will weed out the cripples and weak birds thereby keeping the race up to a high level. If those were allowed to multiply it. would only be a. question of time until disease or something else would replace the predators. - White Owls add a much of ro- mnnce to our northern winters and their rare beauty makes them objects much sought after by al- most every gunner in the country
