§F0R EMPIRE v.41’

The wonlelfs committee of the» Feilbwshp of the British mnulre' Eilliblllon, of which llls Royall Hlgincss the Prince of Wales is President, has made a request con- cerning the observance of Empire Day, Tile request is that on this‘ occasion only food products of the Empire should be served within the Elnpire. To those who lve in the more favored areas where the pro- ducts of the entire Empire are as- sembled for their selection it would he difficult to name a need or a desire that could not be satisfied with Empire products. Even with- out recouise to other sections, the

principal natmls of the Common- wealth, at least, would have lttle difficulty in preparing attractive‘ and well balanced meals from their’ domestic products.

The object of the observance, as let forth by l-ler Majesty the Queen in a message concerning the pro- ject, is that “by thus observing Empire Day, households in all of the British Commonwealth may n.5, how fully their everyday needs can. be supplied from, the produce first of the’r own country and next of other Empire countries."

‘Ighe committee which is promot- ingvthe scheme has suggested also that this observance may be deem- ed ‘“ a. humble acknowledgment of the_ gracious dispensation of Provi- dence which enables the British, Empire to produce every article of’ food needed for human sustenance, and also as a means ci encourag- ing the food producers of the Empire to develop the resources of their lands."

l It is, in short, intended as an object lesson in the resources of the Empire and as a reminder of their completeness. The one-day observance will direct attention to these resources, and it ls expected that the lesson thus impressed upon the people will serve on other days of the War to encourage greater. dependence upon the resources of Empire at home and abroad.

We have great hopes of tli€ outcome of those discussions. ‘At the same time we desire also to

‘tsflisrliamerit which is now investigat-

fluentlal.

It ls "l7 like‘ ly that the effort will have to be continued in the present Budget and that there will be little chance of relief m: the taxpayers. still lee! of a. return to a policy of lavish pubic expenditure. Great Britain has made great sacrifices 1n Order to avoid the greater evils of a tottering currency.

“You make take it that her Bud- gets will be honestly balanced, even at the cost of continuing sacrifices. Further, she will pull her whole weight in attempts to end the world depression, for she has been strul- giing with unemployment for l2 years, and she knows that her own prosperity is bound up with the prosperity of the rest of the world." WATER l“ tIn tourist literature advertising this Province emphasis is properly placed on the superior quality of drinking water everywhere avail- able. Charlottetown haefor years enjoyed the advantage of a system when furnishes water of n spark- ling clarity and purity second t0 no other municipality in the world. Just; what this means is elmphasized by the excitement caused in Ottawa recently by the inauguration of an improved water system. Here is how the Ottawa Journal describes the event:

_ "For years we drank the sort of water that is excellent stuff to run under bridges but not much good anywhere ‘else. We had ‘be- come more or less reconciled t0 its yellow tint, to the obvious presence in it of chemicals when gave it a angular unappetlzing flavor. It was never good water: it was always bad and sometimes WOTSE.

“Then overnight the water in the mains became pure, clear. the sort of water we used b0 get when we went out of town, and there W85 a great run on it. New records for use were set. Since it was physically impossible for 150,000 people to consume an additional three million gallons 1n 24 hours it is inferred in official circles that there was much extra bath- illB. that people opened their taps for the sheer joy of watching running water that looked clean. The new filtration plant, it was voted unanimously, was a trem- endous success and everybody dis- missed it as enthusiastically as though a benevolent corporation had f'lled the mains with fine old scotch."

“Now," concludes the Journal blissfully, "one can fill a tub and still see the bottom of it, which is an experience unique 1n Ottawa. one can drink water without un- easiness; but, on the other hand, with real enjoyment."

After this lyrical outburst, one feels renewed gratitude for the dispensatfons of Providence in this favored Island where oneklthirst, begotten of the ozone-laden air, can be slaked at any time with water such as our Ottawa con- temporary would be able only to compare to the nectar of the brooks that gurgle through the Elysian fields.
