itewfoundianders Abandoning Tito sea

In a pamphlet entitled Employment Con- clusions in the Atlantic Region and issued by the Unemployment Insurance Commis-

sion, it is noted that "the fishing schooner which has been decreasing in use in Nova Scotia for some time appears to be suffer- ing the same fate in Newfoundland. This season it is estimated that only about half the regular fleet will go to the banks. mainly because the fishermen have moved ashore to construction work."

fortunately much more than Korea is in- volved. At a time when an awakening Asia is still feeling its way tentatively toward a permanent political! philosophy-and when it is not wholly unsympathetic to the blandishments of Communism-it would be tragedy if we were to fail to show the prin-

creed, and thus lose the partnership of a third of the world by default.

commission Favors Fluoridation

The long delayed report of the Commis- sion appointed by the British Government to investigate the advisability of fluoridat- ing water supplies has been published. The British Commission of five, headed by Dr. H. H. Stones, Dean of the Dental School,

University of Liverpool, carried out an in-l

vestigation of the fluoridation of water supplies in the United States and Canada during the spring of 1953 and now have issued a report.

The British experts are convinced that

Another extract reads:

"The Newfoundland Federation of La- bour states that there will be fewer men than

fishing in Newfoundland this year

ever before in its history. At the peak of the season last year. 10,000 men were em- ployed, but this year it is anticipated that not more than 6,00 will be so employed. The Labrador fishing fleet has dwindled to less than a dozen schooners. However, it is reported that. very few men are left unem- ployed as they have found employment either in woodswork or in construction work at Goose Bay and Seven Islands."

Commenting on the above excerpts, the St. John's (Newfoundland) Evening Tele- gram says the desertion of the industry in the past eight years, and in particular in the past three years, has been largely flue to the inducements offered in other fields of labour. Uncertainty regarding the marketing of some of the products, the losses of sales in countries formerly among our best customers and falling prices have all tended to discourage the fishermen to remain in their occupation. ;

"As Newloundlanders abandon the har-i vesting of they prolific seas washing the shores of the Province," says The Tele-l gram. "foreigners from distant lands are; increasingly crowding thpse waters. It SUl'-3". ly indicates complete incapacity to evolve! a fisheries policy on our part when, as? Ncwfoundlanders seek other occupations, foreign firms find it profitable to outfit ships for long voyages in order to prosecute the fisheries within close reach of these shores. It either means that we in this country have no one capable of devising means to enable the prosecutors to earn a livelihood from what is beyond question our major natural resource, or that the at- tention of those in authority is so deeply involved in transforming Newfoundland into an cl Dorado by the creation of secondary industries that they have neither the time nor the interest to apply their minds to the utilization of this wealth which a be-, nign Providence has made so readily avail-l able."

in a recent speech in Ontario, External Affairs Minister Pearson took time out: from politics to hammer home a diplomatic point which is all too easily overlooked.',

water as a method of reducing tooth decay is beneficial, and they have recommended that the practice be adopted in Great Bri- ltain. As a result of their investigation in the United States the report states "among! children aged 12 to 14 years there was about 60 per cent less tooth decay, and about six times as many children had per- manent teeth that were free from caries (tooth decay)."

Further it is stated that studies among adults, both in England and the U.- S., showed that the effects of.fluoride per- sisted up to about 40 years of age. It is not known, it is said, whether fluoride retards the progress of existing decay. but the Commission could not find any evidence that the treated water had any adverse effect on industrial processes such as bottling, brewing, baking. laundering. and chemical manufacturing.

The late Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio was an isolationist, yet anything but narrow minded or small. l-lis very strength and astuteness, however, was reason for gratitude that he did not achieve his am- bition of being President. As things were, he gave the benefit of his great ability to loyally assisting the policies of President Eisenhower.

A team of nine British cadets, drawn from the Combined Cadet force and the Army Cadet force, will compete in the Do- minion of Canada Rifle Association prize meeting at Connaught Ranges, near Ot- tawa, August 9-15. Before the war the tour was an annual event. This is the second tour since the war. The team sails July 28 in the "Empress of Scotland". Their itiner- ary includes visits to Quebec City, Three Rivers, Montreal, Toronto, Niagara Falls and Kingston; also visits to Canadian Army camps at Valcartier, Pelawawa and Barrie- field.

THE PIONEERS

Their deeds are written on the land -those men of lowly name; Theirs was the strong and faithful hand. unskilled to grasp at fame:

Till Death's oblivion came. They sowed that. when they "fell on sleep." their children's children still might reap.

Unused to scenes that stir and thrill. to conflllest's lurid glow, Their homely boast was strength and skill to lay the forest low; To tear the stubborn stump from earth, and burst. the pine tree's mighty girth With strong and steady blow. Those were the foes our fathers fought. in fields by bloodless battles bought.

They rest. in peace. beneath the sod their toiling hands have won;

These fruitful fields, so green and

broad, proclaim their work

well done.

And we, who hear the lighter part, shall keep this legend in our hearts.

Of these whose race is run:-

"The Axe, the Bible, and the Flow, have made our nation mighty now."

And there were wives. and mothers

too. brave, patient, tender, kind.--

Whose hands were full. whose hearts were true: though

crude, perchance. ,in mind.

To deftly whirl the droning wheel. and on the antique sklening reel

The homespun product wind:

To sew. to weave-such was their boast: and who shall say "Twas labor lost!"

,Oh. dear departed, weary ones; our ancient honored dead! May reverence guard your

bones. and love. your

holy lowly

bed; For us. 't.is all that we can do--

Conteut: to lead a simple life; un-1 ,vexed by discontent or atrife,'

The work didn't swoop down to visit very many Canadian homes during the depression thirties. Hence today's shortage of teen- agers and those approaching the marrying ages, the shortage of stenographers. the smaller enrol- ments at colleges. The marriage rate in already beginning to fall. And for several years a decline in the blrthrate any time now has been expected. The birthrate to- day is somewhere around twenty- seven per 1,000 population, only slightly below the 1947 peak .of 20.0 per 1,000. Ind it's not likely to fall by very much-certainly. not nearly as much as the decline in marriages would indicate. The reasons: The sire of Canadian families is growing. Enough peo- ple today are having a second. third. or fourth child to largely offset the effects of I. decline in the number of marriages. There is a second reason. Over half the im- migrants are in the age group twenty to forty years. And this age group produces ninety per cent. of all births.-Financial Post.

One of the moat alarming devel- opments in science recently is the theory put forward by an American anthropologist that the Neander- thal man is still among us. Nean- derthal is the name given to a race of ape-like creatures who ranged over a large part. of Europe and Asia. 100,000 years or so ago. The Encyclopedia. Brittanica thus des- cribes their appearance. as recon- structed from skeletons found in caves at various places: "The nor- mal skull of this race was long. wide. and. though low. was capac- ious. The flattening affected the back part of the skull. so that the head must have appeared as set on 9. thick bull neck. The brow ridges were maulve. The chin was lack- ing." Who knows-any day now a

When Lord Selkirk left Scotland with his emigrants for Prince Ed- ward Island in the midsummer-iof 1803, his intention was to arrive by the first boat. He came in the ”Dykes." which called I. few days before the "Polly" and the "Ough- ten." They seem to have had a fair passage over, and on August 3rd found themselves, north of Cape Pu"; and within the Gulf of St. Lawrence. soon they made Bird Islands, a little further on Brian or Cross I.:.':md. Early the follow- ing mornzng, August 4th, they saw the Magdalen Island: at a distance. and towards evening came near the North Cape of Cape Breton.

Friday. Aug. 5th. the ship was beonlm-ed off Narth Cape, or rather :1 little to the southwest of Cape st. Lawrence. where they caught plenty of fish-ccdlish when the vessel was stat1onarv,'and mackerel when she was moving.

Monday. the 8th August, they made Prince Edward Island at 5 .am. at what they at first supposed lwas East Cape. but which proved ,m be the south side of the Is- l'and near Cape Bear.
