The Late Mr. Landirigan

A great educationist of an ear- lier day has passed away in the per- son of Mr. James Landrigan. Hc was in his ninety-first year and th. boys who sat under him as prin- cipal of Queen Square School are now getting well on in years them

, selves. Those who were his pupils

when he was at Tignish and Ken- sington will be patriarchs all too soon. Time marches on and school methods and ideologies have chang- ed considerably; but the basic ele- ments in education remain and the problem is still primarily one of get-

ting inspired teachers into our classrooms. Education will never become a

science. It is an art. And like other arts it makes exacting demands up- on its professors, draining them of all their stamina at times and keep- ing them, too often, in a round of ill-paid drudgery "at the desk's dead wood." Only a disinterested zeal. for education can survive the frustrations and disadvantages of such a calling. But to those who are so inspired, who have the pas- sion for learning and the faculty of imparting knowledge as if it were the most. wonderful adventure in the world-as indeed it is-the re- wards are beyond price. They see all about them, as they grow older, younger people whose lives they touched and moulded, in whose minds they planted seeds that have grown and flourished, bearing fruit abundantly. We can imagine no oc- cupation that is richer in true re- -wards, none that can be looked back upon, in the evening of life, with greater pride and satisfaction. Such a teacher was Mr. Landri- . gan. He will be remembered as a strict disciplinarian, but one whom no boy could mistake for a mere I martinet. ”Thoroughness is all,” ' was one of his maxims, but he was equally insistent on getting at the spirit as well as the letter of his text. And upon the boy of parts. who showed keeness and. enthus- iasm for his lessons, Mr. Landrigan could lavish all the attention of it fond parent. I-Ie encourage ii desire for "the things that are more excellent" and for the welfare of the community and Province in his own special field. To him. as to many other devoted men and women now on the retired list of our public school teachers, we owe a great debt indeed. This is a fitting occasion to pay them tribute. with the late Mr. Landrigan's ex- ample chiefly in mind. May tlioii names never be mentioned without respect and gratitude!

The Eden Plan

Prime Minister Eden's .'iiggi-s- tion for bringing about a .x'l-ltlP- meni of the seven year old di.-piitc between Israel and the Arab bloc is running into serious difficulties in the British House of Commons. Labour members and even some Conservatives are saying it would carve up tlie.State of Israel almost beyond recognition. That is the position taken by the Israel Gov- ernment, too; and, in a sense. the criticism is valid. No one knows this better than the Prime Minister himself who has never suggested that the Arabs are legally entitled to certain lands now held by Israel What he has suggested is that by granting the Arabs certain areas whldi they need for irrigation and other agricultui-alpurposes as well It for settlement of refugees. Israel

the Israelis, would, in tact, preserve the peace; for there is some evi- dence that the Arabs are out for revenge, in which case, of course, any concession that Israel might make would serve no purpose. Still, if the plan were accepted by Israel and turned down by the Arabs, it would be easy for world opinion to fix responsibility for any large scale war that might develop; and that. surely, would be worth a great deal to Israel.

Prime Minister Eden states that he has the ”full support" of the United States Government in his Search for a peace formula for the Middle East. Whether the United States would support his specific plan of compromise, mostly at Is- rael's expense, is another matter. This might come about as a last resort; but it must be noted that Israel's influence in the United States is strong, much stronger than that of the Arabs, even if the latter could prove the validity of their territorial claims. This is one reason, perhaps the compelling one, why the United States has not join- ed the Baghdad Pact which in- cludes Britain, Turkey, Iran, Iraq. and Pakistan.

A Scotch Editor's Views

Attention is called to an article on this page by Mr. R. J. Urquhart, agricultural editor of the Edin- hurgli "Scotsman". Mr. Urquhart was sent to Canada by Mr. Roy Thomson with the purpose of st- tending the Royal Winter Fair and visiting some of the farms in On- tario. He wrote, on request, a story for the Thomson Newspapers in Canada which will, we believe, prove of interest to all our farmers in this Province. '

As Mr. Urquhart point.s out, the tragedy in Britain is that while taming is still the biggest single in- dustry, only 5 per cent of the pop- ulation is engaged in it, and when it comes to voting the other 95 per cent have the say. In Canada a higher proportion are engaged in farming, but the figure bears no comparison with the value of their production. As Canada becomes more and more industrialized, so will this problem of farm represen- tation grow, and Canada's great in- dustrial expansion could have with- in it the seeds of disaster to the farmer. "That," says Mr. Urquhart, "is why it is essential to remind our- selves that farming is still the greatest primary industry, that it must remain economically healthy and that farmers themselves must l)e ever watchful of their interests because in preserving them, they are in fact helping to preserve the stability of the country.”

Mr. Urquhart has proposed to the Royal liighland Society, which has pioneered many adventures in Scottish farming, that it take a leaf out of ('anada's Royal Fair book

and organize a tour of Scottish farmers to see this country. If this cxrcllciit suggestion materializes it is to he hoped that this Province will he on the visiting list.

UNIFORM TIME ACT

Sir.-In your issue of yastu-day the statement is made editorially that. no consideration was given during the last. election campaign to the question of Uniform Time for Prince Edward Island. and further that there was apparent ly a ”gentilemen's agreement” among the candidates not to bring this matter up. I would like,to say that if such an ar- rangement existed it. is news to the undersigned. As a matter of fact I drew attention over the radio and at public meetings to the negligence and delay of the Government in not clarifying this matter before the election took place so that our people from both town and country might be fully informed regard- ing this important issue. The Government was asked to clar- ify its own legislation in this respect at an early date and should have done so at the proper time. The rather sweep- ing statement that all candidates were responsible for that situa- tion is In say the least unfair and not in accordance with re- cognized responsibillltly and pro-

cedure. I I am. Sir. cm.

Canada's Strength Lies in Canada's Farming

By R. J. Urquhart Agricultural Editor. The Scotsman. Edinburgh

Of the several types of the human species who can be guaranteed to give me a pain in the neck. there is no one to come near the man who spends a fortnight in another country and then returns home to be forever the greatest authority on the life, customs. political and social ... blems and palace intri- gues (if any) of the country upon which he inflicted his person.

I have been in Canada just for a fortnight and as I write this on the eve of my departure, I want to make it clear that these are just one or two trees from a whole forest of impressions. As my job is to write about farming in Scot- land, naturally, it is this subject with which I propose to deal. First let me take a look at Canadian farming as an outsider. As a writer I have to do a lot. of reading of the daily and periodical press in Britain and what do I gather about Canadian farming from that read- ing? Very little. I read about plenty of other things going on in Canada-that it is a lusty, thriving country, that it is rich in natural resources, with whole mountains of high grade iron are in Labrador, oil in the West. rich in the new power source of uranium, and that one of the best demonstrations of the strong beat of its industrial pulse is the visionary plan known as the St. Lawrence Seaway.

IMPRESSWE FIGURES

All these things we know about in Britain, but very little do we hear about Canada's farming. and that is a pity because we must remind ourselves that farming is still by for Canada's greatest pri- mary lndustry. Just look at -this little table of the net value of pro- duction by industry in Canada for the last available year:

Agriculture. .. .. . 82,685.-i35,000 Forestry... ... ... 484,264.26!) Fisheries... ... i l02.0N.tm Trapping. .. ,.. 19,791,933 Mining . . . . . . . . . . . 770,143,233 Electric power... 361642.975 Grand total... .. 4,425,304,388

I make no apologies for throwing statistics at you, for that little table shows at a glance a fact that no one should be allowed to forget. that If you add up the value of all the other primary produce. the tot- al is still short of the value of farming to the country.

And believe it or not, the same is true of industrial Britain where farming is still the biggest single industry. The tragedy in Britain is that while taming is still the big- gest single Industry. only 5 mar cent of the population is cup" ;'.-d in it. and when it comes to vnilng the other 95 per cent have the say. In Canada a rather higher pronun- ion of the people are engaged in farming, one-fifth of the country's mats workers being directly em- ployed in farming, but there is iztlll this fact that while farming is the biggest industry. a relative- ly small proportion of the populace

is engaged In it. In dealing with taming . therefore. a slatosm e approach is es-

sential, but unfortunately all pollu- cians are not statesmen and poli- ticians hold their places by votes .Mdub1hofwf:'mtgm i.-'i.w hm" mi

MUST REMAIN ns:u,'my

As Canada becomes more and more industrialised, and good luck to her. so will this problem of the

miles to meet them, for they were. many of them. in one spot, at the great Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto.

What do I think of Canadian farmers? The only basis of judg- ment is their produce as shown at. the Royal Winter Fair. and on that basis it is easy to say that they are as good farmers as any, any- where ln the world. I was interest- ed in the stock more than in the seeds and other produce crops. and the stock shown at that Fair would be a credit to any of our national shows in Britain.

STOCK BEARING

One reason is that Canada already has a long tradition In stock-rear ing. Ayrshire cattle were introduc- ed as long ago as 1821, and Short- horns as long ago as 1825. But the most remarkable breed is the Aberdeen-Angus which came in only in 1876, but have expanded more rapidly than any other breed in this country. Unlike the Short- horns and the Ayrshires, Canadian A. A. breeders have not found it so necessary to return to the Old Country for foundation stock. The splendid imen of the breed which took the Angus champion- ship at the Fair. for instance. does not have n Scots bloodline until you go eight generations back.

The Shoi-thorn champion on the other hand, was sired by a bull bought in Scotland in 1952 for 6100 izuineas. By the point is that wheth- or they are iiomebred or by im- ported progeny, these Canadian cattle have come on wonder- fully in quality and type. In the Shorthorns, for instance, the im- provement over the last ten years has been truly -remarkable.

NOTHING LIKE IT In the course of one of my broad- cast while I was here, Pwas asked

how the Royal Winter Fair com- pares with our own national shows. That was an easy one. The Fair does not compare with any of our' national shows for the simple rea- son that there is nothing like it anywhere in the world, and In my articles which have sent home and in a broadcast I will be doing for the BBC when 1 get back I urge more Scottish farmers to come over and see the Fair for Ihemsclves, as quite a number Iinve done this year. I was very interest- ed io see that, the directors of the Fair organise a European tour for Canadian farmers and their fami- lies. primarily aimed at seeing the two great summer shows in Bri- tain. the Royal Highland and the Royal English, but also taking in Scandinavia, Gennany and France.

COULD BE RECIPROVAL

The 1956 tour will be the third to be run by the Fair organisers. It is a marvellous idea and I have suggested that our own Royal High- land Society, which has pioneered many adventures in Scottish fann- ing since if was founded away back in 1784 (over 170 years ago), should take a leaf out of the Fair book and organise a tour of soot- tisb farmers to see Canada, the Fair. and perhaps the great Chicago exhibition which follows it so closely. ,

I would have liked to spend more time in the country-- I was en- :,ltirallll:d to learn about the work

i Ontario Agricultural College in the course of a visit than -but maybe some other time.

correctly. his weight falls on the front and outer edges of his feet and toes point straight ahead. ANKLE WILL BULGE If he is flat-footed, however. his feet will turn out. His ankle will bulge a little on the inner side and the tendon at the back of his lower leg will be curved instead of straight. A child develops flat feet when

his muscles are not strong enough to support his wet pro- perly, possibly because of ckets.

With weak muscles. the weight is

feet. This causes them in point outward and gradually become flat.

I suggest you consult your doctor as soon as you notice that your tot'a feet are beginning to face outward. He probably won't do much until the child is about the age of two. Then, he will undoubt- edly recommend special shoes.

The heels of these shoes should be built up from one-eight to one- qunrter of an inch on the inner edge. The upper portion of the inner side of the shoe should be stiffened Properly fitted, the shoes will probably be a great benefit to the child.

Parents often wonder whether their children are pigeon-foed, but few of them have to worry about this. Until he is two years old, a child may walk with his toes turn- ed slightly inward.

Generaily. when he becomes a little older his feet wil point straight ahead in the normal way. QUESTION AND ANSWER

A.S.R.: What causes warts and how can one get rid of them?

Answer: The cause of warts is not known, but it is possible that some of them may be due to an infection.

some types of warts may be removed by cauterizing them with acetic acid, or by freezing them with carbon dioxide snow. Others may be removed by the application of nitric acid, or by means of an electric needle.

An examination should be made to determine the type of war! pre- sent before treatment is employed-

A Man's First Baby

Cleveland Plain Dealer

The simple things of life are al- ways the best; sometimes they are the most amusing.

Take a baby, for example.

Millions of babies have come in- to this preposterous world since history began. They have altered the lives of parents as nothing else could liave done: they have pro- vided the greatest happiness, the most delightful laughs and the greatest sadness.

But despite the fact that other people have had babies despite the fact that the biological process has gone on since time began, the moment a man realizes he is to become a father for the first time his whole attitude changes; he is. to all intents and purposes, the first father in history-

He walks around with a slightly superior attitude. He can afford to be understanding with the rest of ordinary humanity. and if he seems a bit patronizing, forgive him-he cannot help himself. His wife, a far more practical and con- siderably moro modest individual, is quietly amused.

It is perhaps fortunate that sub- sequent children produce far less stir that No. 1. Man slips easily into the role fatherhood prescribes for him. and White No. 2 and No. 3 are equally loved they are some- what less than unique.

For after No. 1 has arrived man is willing to admit that other peo- ple have babies too. This is the beginning of wisdom.

Science is wonderful!

These new "mechanical guards" are car- bide guns. They are charged with carbide and water and a pilot light, kept burning by the generat- ed gas, sets off a blast every min- iite or so. The ingenious device keeps making loud reports until the charge is exhausted. Millet guards" keep the starlings away from the fields. but sparrows and (inches are not disturbed by the noise.
