Bungling Manpower Policy

The need for an immediate and thorough reorganization of Can- ada's national manpower was stres- sed by Lt.General Guy Simonds c.a.. D.S.0., former Chief of Gen- eral Staff, at the monthly dinner meeting of the Prince Edward Is- land Canadian Club held last night at the Charlottetown ilotel. Dr. Frank MacKinnon presided.

General Simonds. in a reiteration of his remarks made at other Cana- dian Club meetings across Canada. said that Canada is llopelessl dis- organized to meet a sudden crisis. lie attributed a lack oi leadership in urgsnisini for a national emer- gency to "the sad history" of past opposition in Quebec to conscrip- tion.

"Organizing the national man- power does not mean drafting everybody into the Army, Navy or All-force," said General Simonds. "it means a studied policy. decid- ing-what tuanches of the national effort must continue or be accentu- ated if a sudden crisis should come." - '

"Until the question of manpower organization is faced, Canada can- not really havo a sound defence policy" General Simonds said.

The General scored political lead- ers for their failure to take a stand in the matter of manpower orga- nization. stating. "If there is going to be leadership given. it must come from you. iron: the country itself".

General Simonds felt the differ- ences between Communist countr- ies and the West were lueconcil- able and .. ' ' co---' i could only be a form of armed truce. He described as "wishful thinkers" those who held the hope that a change in Russia might come from an internal revolution. Such an in- ternal uprising in a police state. he felt. was impossible.

As an officer of the Ayrshire Breeders' Association he took a keen interest in the .otion of the breed within the Island. The late Mr. Stewart received his early education in the public school of his home district and later attended the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph where he receiv- ed the associate diploma in Agri culture. He firmly believed in the Junior Farmer's movement and in 1948 became the first honor y president of that organization. The historical background of Mr. Stewart's family is steeped in tra- dition.

King's county, died in the King's County Hospital at about 2.30 yesterday morning as a result of an accident which oc- curred at Cardigan late Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Redmond. who had been hauling pulp wood. had stopped at the home of the late Thomas Flynn. There he met Mr. Ira MscMillan who was en route to Cardigan for groceries. The two men left for the village in MacMillanls car and became stuck near All Saints Church. Cardigan. They then left the car and walked the r ainder of the distance to obtain the assistance of a plow. Returning with the plow operat- ed by Cecil Rice and Mack Mac- Kenzie. Mr. Redmond was sitting in the cab next to the door. It is thought that when the gears of the plow were shifted the machine lurched and the door flew open and Mr. Redmond was thrown to the ground. The incident was ap- parently unnoticed and not until Mr. ,MacMillan shouted that Mr. Redmond was lying between the wheels did anyone become aware that the victim was out of the cab. The Montague detachment of the R.C.M.P. and the coroner. Dr. G. S. Inman, were summoned. and the injured man was taken to the
