Old Home Week

Today‘s the day for the opening of the biggest and most popular fair in the Maritimes. Our Old Home Week edition of Saturday told why it is being looked forward to with with so much eagerness. and why this years special events—on the race track, in livestock and poultry exhibits, in handicraft and home cooking displays, on the midwny and at the vaudeville shows—will be drawing I record-breaking at- tendance, and making the capital of Canada's garden province is mecca for visitors from all parts of the continent.

The harness racing and the mammoth Gold Cup and Saucer Par- ade will provide the biggest thrills: but it ill the Exhibition part of the big week that our farmers are look- ing forward to. The show rings will be crowded and some of the fine est horses. cattle and swine will be on display, The entry list is ex- ceptionally large and the com- petition will be keen.

But for visitors it is the human aspect of the fair that really counts. It is the ideal place in which to meet old friends and make new acquaintances. Former Islanders from as far as the Pacific Coast will be there; many non-islanders who have been coming here regular- ly will be on hand. and there will be thousands who will be visiting us for the first time. They Will all be milling around together; and if those of us who are in the stzly- .- homs class miss joining them. we shall be losing the most heart- warming experience of the s ~on.

Now it's up to the “’eathe Man. The Exhibition management has done its best; the transportation authorities are making every ef- fort to cope with the expanded car, rail and air traffic demands, and we’re all in the mood for the gala events to begin.

That's All We Need

Speaking to the Atlantic De- velopment Board last week, State Secremry Pickersgill. to whom the board is responsible, said that while the board will have $100 million to administer. it will not he merely a spending agency. Its first task will be to act as an intelligent lobbv persuading governments, mun politics and businessmen to develop new enterprises. and moving in itself only when all other agencies refuse to act.

When it makes funds available.

the board should see that they go to industries that have a chance of ultimate independence and are not lame-duck, make-work propositions. “We don’t want to promote things that In going to require subsidies as for Ihcsd Is the eye can see . . . The Government means that the money should be risked on projects with a 60 per cent chance of suc— case.” Mr. Pickersg-ill suggested that the board use its power to encour- Ige improved transportation with emphasis on sir freight, develop. merit of energy sources and exporm of such primary products as pulp- wood. The time should come. he in- dium]. When it would be possible to withdraw thI various special subsidlu now propping up the East- ern economy.

been stunned to develop without-being provided with the capital to do the developing, never- theless. unless Maritime busi- ness and industry are prepared to break new ground Ind take new risks, the fund will be wasted.

No one in the Maritimes will cavil at this reminder of the im- portance of initiative. But it is

worth recalling that it was some- thing more than their own initstive that put the big Central Provinces in the dominating position they hold in our national economy today. Un- der Confederation, the cards were stacked in their favor from the start. It was to redress this inequal- ity that subsidies had to be doled out to the Maritimes from time to time.

Our people in this area would much prefer to stand on their own feet. Then, perhaps. we could put a curb on the export of our most val- llabls product—the brains and brawn that have contributed so much to the achievements of our more prosperous neighbors. Given the same chances at home. there isn't any doubt as to what Mari- time initiative csn accomplish.

Worth Remembering

A big problem in Charlottetown this week will be to ensure traffic safety. There will be special trafio police. but without the fullest pub- lic co—operation their efforts will not be enough to avert deplorable accidents. One particulary import- ant thing for motorists to remem- ber is to signal all their turns, The Canadian Highway Safety Council has some pertinent advice to give in this regard.

it is useless equipping modern automobiles with turn signals un- less they are properly operated. It does no good, says a Council bulletin, for thI motorist to switch his on after he has started to turn. It is no help to traffic in front or behind. Failure to signal in time causes a lot of trouble.

Another peril occurs when the motorist fails to turn off the signal. A driver waiting for a gap in pass~ ing traffic to permit him to enter an intersection sees a car approach- ing from his left, signalling a right- hand tllrn. He is well within his rights to proceed. as long as no other obstacle is present. Then the signalling cnr fails to make the turn for which the driver is simlal- ling, and somebody gets hurt.

The motorist who stubbornly de- clines to accommodate other drivers by letting them know his intentions can place himself in great danger, too. Signalling every movement well in advance is his best protection.

Taxing The Sick

Writing in Applied Therapeutics. u Toronto medical journal. two specialists in the employ of a Mon- treal drug manufacturer make this arresting point on the subject of high drug prices:

“The Government of Canada makes more money through its sales tax on prescription drug sales than the pharmaceutical industry makes in net profit. For example. during the year ending January. 1962, our company remitted on behalf of pat- ients $431,000 in federal sales tax alone. Our profit, after tax, for the year amounted to $333,000. A sime ilar picture would relate to all com‘ panies engaged in the pharmaceuti- cal industry.”

This federal sales tax on pre- scription drugs amounts to 11 per cent, and adds almost $11,000,000 I year to the cost of drugs in this country.

The Financial Post says it may well be that the Writers in the medi< cal journal are biased, But it is facts they are dealing with, and it raises another point which merits public concern: Why is Canada just about the only country to tax the sick for prescription medication? Perhaps Health Minister LaMarsh can give an explanation of this when Par- liament reassembles.

EDITORIAL NOTE

If there is any doubts about the economic independence of the United States and Canada, Canadian trade figures for the first half of this year should dispel them. Canada's trade— export and import—in this period involved I total of $6.371 million. 0! this amount. trade with the Unlted States accounted for $4,066 million. In other words, exports to Ind im- parts from the US. account for about two-thirds of Canada's trade.

Composite Picture Of Canadian Households

Canada is a country of mid- dleagca married couples whose children have grown u home. Typically this couple llv- es ul s middleslzed community where one in every four neigh- bourlng houscholds has an immi- grant father, and one ‘ five homes was bulu within the past ten years. The husband is an artisan working in - factory. and his schoollng ended about Grade Six, To pinpoint um typ- lcal Canadian couple more exac- tly. by geography and by ln-v come, it could be said that they y live in Sudbury where r a p u ‘ earns between 34.000 and «.999

per year.

That is the composite picture l nt Canada's households Ind l lamilles, as painted by our col» lec|ive replies to the questlonl l asked during the we! census.

or course there is really no such thing as a "typical" Can- adian household; there could not be in a country so diversified u Canada, aut one can deduce the features which m representa- tive of the most numerous group. And there are many feat ures l common to most pal-rs 0‘ the l country. despite eel-lain obvious reglnnal variations.
