The wedding month. i: n- : iii Councillor Earl Macdonald has returned from Amherst, Mass, enthused with the tremendous progress made in war efforts in the United Stat- es. He fccls we here have not begun to realize fully the seriousness of the situation, or we would not continue in the hum drum way we are doing. In the States after only six months at war, the)’ are away ahead of us after our nearly three years war experience. \Ve must wake tip and see that nothing i5 left undone that can be done to bring war’: realization home to ourselves, and defeat to our enemies. in iii in in Sympathy from- his brother ncwspapermen as well as the communit_v generally goes out to Mr. A. R. Brennan of the Summerside journal, and to Mrs. Brennan on the announcement that one of their three sons in the Air Force, John R- 15 among the missing after an invasion flight on \\’ednesda_v. Not tnzitiy parents have the record of the Brcntians in liavitig three sons oti active air service, and the bad news about one must make the parents doubly anxious about the oth- ers. Parental pride in their son's achievements may mitigate the pangs of sorrow for John's fflle. but all the same from now on part of them will be for ever “over there." in iii e The Isle of Man was bought by the British Government frotn the Duke of Atholl this date, I765; a much favoured holiday resort in the Irish Sea, i6 miles off the Scottish coast at \Vigtonshire, originally inhabited by Celts it was seized by the Scandinavians in the 9th century, conquered by Norway in i098, rccoiiquercd by Scotland in 1266, seized by England in i285, and regained by Scotland in i313, ultimately landing in the possession of English in i346; became the possession of the Earls of Derby, until i735 when it came by inheritance to James, Duke 0i Atholl, from whose heirs the British Cioverninent acquired it by purchase; made p0pula1‘. largely through Hardy's series of novels dealing with Manx characters and romance. x at iii iii As a supplement to the normal egg ration, I2,- ooopoo tins of new egg powder developediintlcr a special process in the United States-equivalent to 144,000,000 eggs —will be distributed to flit! British public shortly. Lord Woolton announces- The issue to the public, which will_ be "Ofbffl" tion," will be at the rate of one shilling and nine- pence for a five-otnice tin equal to 12 Bggs- The new process enables eggs to be sent in dried form instead of in shells, with consequent reduction on the demand on shipping space to one-sixth of that required by ordinary eggs. Ministry of Food ex- perts who have tested the new powder report _it is impossible to tell it from ordinary egg. It wiil be a valuable contribution to Britain's protein foods and will have the highest nutrition value per ton of shipping space of all lease-lend food- stuffs, is the official verdict of the new product.

ie ioi iv- ie Our neighbours to the south have been under ceilings for sometime, the new order having gone into effect at midnight Sunday- MaY 3- A! lhal hour federal control over retail prices became ef- fective, backed by a guarantee that the cost of liv- ing will remain at or below the Iilarch level for the duration of the war through a licensing system under which those who fail to keep their prices under the ceiling may lose their right to do busi- ness. Canada's price ceiling —-8ppli€d generally speaking to retail prices —went into effect Dec- ember I last. Prices were frozen at the level pre- vailing in the period September 15-October II. Government spokesmen have emphasized on a number of occasions the ceiling will not be broken as it is considered essential to keep prices at fixed levels to guard against inflation. Subsidies will be paid in special circumstances, it has been en- nounced, to enable the price ceiling to be main- tained. ii- io- iv e Mr. Jean Harvey, editor of "Le Jour" has been telling the Canadian Progress Club Montreal some of the reasons why the “No" vote predominated in Quebec. "Our leaders are still reluctant to dis- please our interior enemies. They have not learn- ed that some people cannot be appeased. We must be aggressive and fight against these enem- ies within our gates, or sooner or later we shall have trouble," said Mr. Harvey. Infra-nationalists and agents of the fifth column are really weak, a tiny minority. he contended. They had never won an election. After 3o years their chief journalistic organ had a circulation of only i3,- 000. Yet it was "the weakness of the Government that all agents of the fifth column, and those who aid the enemy, without knowing it, were let free." He ivarticd that this represented a serious complacency. “We can lose our freedom if we oppose only l passive resistance to our enemies ivithin. It is the duty of a living democracy to be aggressive, to be vigorous, and to impose its principles upon the people." The mass of French- Canailians were tieitlier anti-British nor separat- ist, yet "our unity will be seriously compromised if we dn not act. prompty and vigoronsy." "The French-Canadians are as brave and as good fight- crcas any other race, Wllfll they sec clearly that llIPIl‘ country is in dnligcr, tlicy will not ltc-sitrite f0 i'\(‘t‘(‘lif"lllf‘ rtiqioiisiliililios zinil dangers of its dc- fciicc. ‘int nn effective- ntfi-itipt liiid been tiindc ll) ilr-iiion-irrilr- ll|i\_ "(‘¢iii<vri|itiii|i i: n dirt-rt and iiii-vilnblc consequence iil the‘ ilcclnrnlion (if wary‘ .\lr. lliirvrv nlfirnicil. “lint this ii-ns nvvcr lllllllP “h” i‘? m" llmlll" 1\l\\'i'l_\'< the (jovcrnitient fol- lowed its policy of appeasement.”

H-e said Treasury studies indicate that "the very lO-WESI» income earners have all they can do b0 feed and clzttie themselves and their families and that p. further lowering of the ex- emipliqris would yield a relative. insignificant amount of revenue" from them.

Veteran Mackenzie has views about how things should be run that the Minister of Pensions and National Health either does not subscribe to or is unwiiif to insist u n in his official capac t . or so e would ave his former comrades believe. “If I had my way," said Mackenzie the Leglonnalre, "the first con- script in Canada would be money." But he was careful to emphaalu that he was speaking as a. member of the Legion and not. as a mem- ber of Parliament. far less ss I. wnlster of the Crown. To what s pltiable state has representative government 1n this country fallen! Any member of Parliament holding Ca lnet rank who advocates a course out of the House which he is not prepared to insist u n as a public servant of great lnf uence is mocking Parliament. and with his own conscience. The cruelest. besides being the most dangerous, of the political arts is demagogy. That ls the art of say- ing what the people want to hear. whether it ts practicable or not. misleading the uninformed and romlslng to satisfy the needy whe- er you are willing and. able to do so or not. The C. C. F. has made some progress with the public by demanding the conscription of wealth, and Mr. Mackenzie would like to share some of the approba- tion which this opposition party has been able to evoke through the use of this entirely ambiguous phrase.
