lid Gross Activities

From a Christmas gift to each Cana- dian serviceman in hospital in Japan and Korea to a special denture for an Island child the annual report of the Red Cross Society reflects manifold efforts to relieve individual ills and mass disaster. Although organized on an international scale, the Red Cross depends upon the youthful mem- bers of the Junior Red Cross in the schools, the Women's Work Committee, activity by the members of the Nursing Committee, members of the various corps, First Aid workers, swimming instructors, the Blood Donor Committee and the many workers in the campaign committees to carry on work in our midst.

The audited statement of the senidr ac- count shows expenditures exceeding rev- enue by almost b9000 but certainly no one would say that the Red Cross operated here at a loss. Its operations are altogether on the credit side and the lives that have been saved, the disabilities removed, the comforts provided, are the true profit of a realistic profit and loss account.

A vital source of strength of the organ- ization is the Junior Red Cross which now comprises 630 branches in the Province, having an enrollment of 15,600 members. This activity indicates that teachers and principals are taking very seriously their opportunity to guide the younger gener- ation in one of the most important aspects of good citizenship.

School Requirements

For those municipalities which are al- ready finding the burden of education costs tough enough, there will be little comfort in figures published in a picture chart in the Financial Post. In the next 12 years, it is officially estimated, the high school attendance in Canada will have doubled. That will mean a very substantial increase in school buildings, equipment and teach- ers

Post, "is growing at a much faster rate than our total population and for quite a few years at least, it will keep on growing fast regardless of almost any other factor because of the present and recent high birth-rate. Most of the youngsters who will be entering high school 12 years from now are already here. We might as well make up our minds that we are-going to have to provide schools and teachers for a lot more students in the next dozen years and this service is going to cost a great deal of money. Facing such facts we had better go easy on some of the expensive build- ings and fancy fads that have been tempt- ing some of our school boards."

As the Calgary Herald observes: "Con- struction on that scale is obviously out of the question. What the objective should be, we suggest, is a good, serviceable kind of high school capable of providing adequate instruction in fundamentals and without some of the expensive and unnecessary frills. Heaven knows it will be costly enough to provide even that."

Trade Vlitlt culls

Trade and Commerce Minister "Howe. just back from a 20,000 mile trip to Latin American countries, took the first opportun- ity on his return to assure Parliament that the Government has no intention of adopt- ing import quotas against Cuba for the benefit of Canadian sugar refineries. He said an intensive pressure campaign had been launched in this connection, and on visiting Cuba he had found the sugar indus- try there greatly disturbed. They wanted to know whether Canada intended breaking off trade relations. Mr. Howe explained that Canada was glad to have their raw sugar but,.tiiat refined sugar imports presented an economic problem in some quarters.t0n ex- plaining the matter to the Sugar Institute, the bodythst controls all matters affecting

. ' sugar in the island of Cuba, they very rea- "' sonsbly salld: I fined sugar of s1.89 per 100 pounds, which

discudod amicably and as a

r

.”Our school population," comments the

however, of imposing import restrictions of any kind.

Mr. Howe went on to point out that the balance of trade with Cuba is very much in our favor, and that Chiba is a very important market to the Maritime. Prov- inces. "It has always been so and always will be," he said. "The Cuban agreement on raw sugar was made as a means of stimulating that market and of protecting the market we had. It has had that ef- fect. There has been aivery sharp growth in imports from the Maritime Provinces, and in talking to the people of Cuba I may say that they believe that market can be stimulated a great deal more."

The Minister mentioned particularly the trade in fish, potatoes and wheat, as well as a wide variety of manufactured pro- ducts which the Cubans themselves would like to buy from us in larger quantities. "it would surely be irrational," he said, "to endanger these markets and at the same time to increase the cost of living and the cost of production throughout Canada in order to safeguard one industry against all possible competition."

Moose For Labrador

The Newfoundland Fish and Game divis- ion is engaged in capturing moose with the object of stocking Labrador with these animals. The hope is that, multiplying there, they will prove a source of meat supply to the residents in substitution for the herds of caribou which have diminished.

The authorities appear to be satisficcll that food for the moose is available. Unlikcl the caribou which finds in the lichen on the, rocks and barrens the food to sustain it,i the moose feeds upon the leaves and twigs of deciduous trees, or bark from the stems, according to the U.S. Wildlife Service which adds that it eats the fir or spruce foliage only when nothing else is available.

The pamphlet, showing the distribution of the moose illustrates the area in which it is found extending from Alaska to the Quebec Province, as well as in parts of the United States. Ranging over such a wide stretch of the continent of North America, the moose does not appear to have moved into the Ungava peninsula or Labrador. There is no geographic obstacle to this movement eastward, and the question is why they have not spread into "the area, or, if they have, why they do not appear to have survived.

A report of the numerous services pro- vided by the recently opened Health Centre in Summerside is impressive, so much so in fact that the Federal grant of 255,700 for equipment and supplies seems remarkably little. It would be otherwise, of course, if the clinic were faced with the necessity of raising that additional amount.

The new. store which will be opened Thursday by the O'Leary Farmers Co- operative is a visible indication of the po- tentialities of the co-op idea. From an original investment of E5420, mostly in pro- missary notes, in 1940, assets have been increased to 5B175,000, a rate of growth which would have been envied by a young Carnegie.

Arcangclo Corelli, Italian musician, was born this date 1653. He is best remember- ed as the musician who elevated the violin to its honoured place in music, instead of a homely instrument just good enough to stimulate dancing. His popularity was tremendous. He and his students brought about a revival of chambre music in Italy, Germany, France and England. His'con- certos and particularly the sonatas, greatly influenced Vivaldi, Handel and Bach.

As indicated in today's news columns, Premier Jones, at the request of the Can- adian' National European Flood Relief Com- mittee, will organize a central committee to coordinate and channel the various fund raising efforts in this Province, details of which will be announced later. As the Pre- mier emphasizes, this is not a Red Cross appeal, although the Red Cross will co- operate. with thc National Committee in arrangements for purchases, transportation, and distribution of items for the stricken areas. There is no doubt that our citizens will welcome this opportunity of contribut- ing to the relief of the flood victims whose condition has been so graphically described in press releases during the past few weeks. This disaster has been described as the

worst of its kind to visit Europe in the past

six hundred years, and calls for coordinated

relief measures on an extraordinary scale.

(In amtouncing on Jan. 15 that the Government would build an automobile ferry for the Prince Edward Island-Nova Scotia. service, Transport Minister Chevrier said that no decision had been made as to which agency would operate it. The reference in The Guardian of Dec. 16 to the amount of subsidy paid the operating company stated that this covered a. period iwof eleven years.-Ed. G.) '

THE KILLING CONTINUES

Sir.-In the last 30 months more people have been killed on the highways of the United States than have been killed in the Korean war. The same is true as applied to Canada. Here in this Province in this past. year the slaughter has been alarming. Here in Canada for every one sober driver who has an accident, 55 accidents are made by drunken drivers.

We have been greatly disturbed over the war in Korea. Countless articles have been written deplor- ing the slaughter and the waste. The Christian Century, a period- ical that represents all the Pro- testant. Churches of America, is now asking: "Can nothing he done to stop this war?" and inviting outstanding Christian writers to give their opinions. But every day this killing goes on on our roads and there is no great outcry. Weekly, there is a broadcast of the number killed. Wrecked cars. brok- en bodies, sorrowlng homes. It can't. be helped. is the feeling.

But can.lt. not. be helped?

'15 per cent of the killing is due to drink. Gruesome signs are set up along our roads, but. the slaughter continues.

The drunken driver is hard to isolate. It is almost. impossible to prove in a oourt. of law that the driver was drunk. In one case last fall, the police testified "the ac- cused was staggering drunk and smelled strongly of liquor". Right after that In witness testified, un- der oath: "The accused did. not smell of liquor and he walked nor- mally."

Now here is s stran e thing. The blood exsmlnstion wh ch is o In-e test cannot be spoiled except with the consent of the accused. He is at liberty to kill, but the law has no authority to bring him to jun tlcc. The drunken driver can bloc a man to death. but the law can- not. take A drop of blood from him for t ' . This sltuatlonwould be funny if it were not! so tragic.

Why is not the whole church stirred ll) over this condition? On a recent. sundsy in the U. 5. over 500 clef-gymen of the Roman Cath- olic. Jewish and Protestant relig- ions preached sermons on this sub- ject. taking so their text. "Thou shalt not kill." A sermon from that text. would be very nonrand- ate in this Province. It might do some good. It would, at least, show first the Ohrlsttsn Church is in-

I should say here. though, that Mr. smith was generally regarded as fl first-class artist in his field. He had taken photographs of hundreds of celebrities including Vir. Ohumhili, Mr. Smallwood. and the Shah of Persia. In fact, "Photo by 5.nit.h" (I repeat that this was not his real name) had low; since become the trade-mm-k of good will-9 in photography. More than one intractable youngster had been quieted by his mother's saving: "If you're a good boy I'll get Mr. Smith to take your picture some day".

But while Mr. Smith had done a lot of travelling albrroad, he had not done much at borne. This new asigvnmentr was tilterofm-e doubly welcome. He would be rendering a good service to his fellow citizens and seeing the country at the gums time. And. because be appreciated the assignment so much, he re- solved to do the very best. he could both with his camera and with his typewriter. In his comments he would describe tlhlngs lust as he mw them. He would neither addto nor subuact from anything he might see or experience. In other words, he would ndlhcre fialttrfully to the maxim: "Say what you think".

Like every first-time visitor in

Iltalrville, Mr. smith was much im- prmaed by what he saw, snd he said so in the pithy comments (mag scoomapauied his pictures. But, since he had made up his mind 1., be perfectly frank and honest, tn his observations," he felt that he had to mention the potatoes, 1; seems that during his all too short study some one somewhere had served him something in the way of potatoes that he did not at all like. In fact, he disliked it so much tzh t he felt obliged to write in his no es: "I had the worst meal of my life in rulrvlliel", or words that. amounted to the some thing. Note, he did not. say nor even hint that nobody in Falrvllle knew how to cook. He did not suggest. that the cooking in and around Fslrvllle was horrible. He simply stated, in all oonscience one man- presume, "I had the worst meal of my life in Fairvllle". Now. as I remarked above. moot of the citizens of Fblrviile are intelligent. And. because Uhey are lnteiligent, they have a fine sense of humour. That, in from, is why they refused to become unduly ex- cited over Mr. Smith's quiet ob- servation. If he had been served something uni-ikinx to his palate. they reasoned. that was unfortun- ate. but nothing much could be done about it now. Obviously. a mistake had been made somewherr for nhefs and waiters (not id mention waitremes) are by no means infallible. sltlhough there are times when they seem to con- vey that hm-nresslon. Any way, the man had stmloly spoken his mind. as the saying goes. and after all this is s free country, The incident was more funny then solemn.

These were a few, however, in Falrviile and vicinity who oould see no humour in it. Mr. Smith was accused of practically everything but homicide. He was an upstart. n. slander-er. an ungrateful gum, in fact. everything but a gentleman. some went so far as to suggest that even his phdtosmphy, the pride of his life. was nothing to brag about, me matter was brought. up in Parliament and. worse still. peopia began to write to the newspapers about it, as it they had been to blame for Mr. Smith's taste. or lack of taste, in potatoes.

I hear that the violence has sub- sided a bit now and even that there is a moment on foot to invite Mr. Smwh back for more potatzors. which this time, we may be sure, will be cooked and served lust M he likes them.
