CRAI1.f.0TTETOWN FRIDAY. .u:i.v 3, 1953 Excellent Publicity

The Travel Bureau has prepared a new brochure on Prince Edward Island for dis- tribution to tourists and others, and it is one which should make a very wide and popular appeal. It is beautifully illustrated, beautifully printed, and beautifully writ- ten. concrete information about everything our summer visitors are likely to be interest- ed in, brought right up to date, and pre- sented in an informal, chatty manner which is nowhere overdone but always in good taste. The pictures really illustrate the text, and sonic of them. in gorgeous color- ing, are as attractive as paintings. If ttbath- lng beauties" are less prominent than in some publications of this kind, they are by

no means neglected and the young ladies,

represented. against. the appropriate back- ground of sand dunes and beaches, are in-

deed as attractive as any to be found in al

liollywood beauty contest. Churches. vii- iages, raccirzicks, golf courses, fishing craft, farm scenes, and sweeps of wonderful shore line are here depicted, in pleasing contrast and variety. Old pictures for the most part have been dispensed with, along with

the old descriptive cliches which have done

service far too long. In place of the latter, one finds such passages as the following, which the sportsman will certainly appreci- ate better than a page of fulsome rhetoric:

”There is no big game but plenty of game birds with the emphasis on Hungarian partridge and ring-necked pheasant. Ducks, geese and Wiisonls snipe are other popular game in the Garden of the Gulf. 1-len coveys are large, averaging 17 or 18 birds. They are swift of wing and test the mettle of any hunter. Like quail, they feed early in the morning. There is no set. time to hunt them. They may he found in stub- ble, potato and turnip patches, in uncut hay- fields, on vacant. farms, alder swales, sec- ond growth siashings, in the tall dune grass or amid the salt grass on the flats at low tide."

Writing of this kind is not as easy as it looks. It makes for first-class publicity

however, which is precisely what the newi brochure achieves, with minimum fuss and

fanfare. Mr. George V. Fraser, the Bureau director, and his staff, are to be heartily congratulated on the result.

Farm Income In the face of declining prices for agri- cultural products. costs of goods and serv- ices used in production are continuing to increase. But according to a writer in the Economic Annalist, a publication of the Federal Department of Agriculture, there has been some confusion in compar- ing these sets of figures. The indi- cators of declining prices received in agri- culture and the indicators of increasing costs of production are indexes of prices per unit of commodities and services. Although indexes are useful for showing changes in price per unit, they do not reveal changes in net returns to agriculture, and it is net returns to farmers as individuals and as a group which is the important measure.

The gross cash income from the sale of farm products is the total value of all farm products sold during a given period. 1t is computed by multiplying the price per unit, by tlw total number of units of each commodity sold at those prices. In con- trast, the index of farm prices is the cur- rent price per unit multiplied by the total number of units sold in the base period compared with the base period price per unit multiplied by the total number of units sold in the base period.

Net farm income is computed by de- ducting costs of production from gross cash income. Costs of production are determin- ed in the aggregate by estimating the total quantity of goods and services used in pro- duction and multiplying by prices per unit. These estimates of total costs of produc- tion differ from the index of commodities and services used by farmers. The cost of production estimate is based on prices and quantities of the same year. In contrast, the index of costs is a comparison of cur- rent prices of base period quantities with base period prices and quantities. Thus the estimate of cost. of production reflects farmers' efforts to adjust costs to new con- ditions. An example of this is the intro- duction of labour saving devices when wage rates are high. The Economic An- nalist writer concludes:

"During the past decide total fmn cash

It contains a surprising amount of,

income increased more rapidly than total costs of operation. As a result, net farm income increased. During the prewar per- iod 1935-39 it averaged 5325 million s year. By 1948 it was d1.7 billion, more than five times the prewar average. In 1950 it drop- ped to slightly under 91.5 billion but rose again to the 552 billion level in .1951 and 41952."

i The above statement does not take note lof the fact, as indicated in last week's Federation of Agriculture news letter, ,that in 1952 the net farm income in Can- tada declined by fiS238,000,000. This rep- TPSPIIIS a reduction of 11 percent in farm- iers' actual purchasing power over the net iincome for the previous year. Prince Ed- ward Island, fortunately did not share in this decline, our figure being 19 percent above that of 1951. However, the overall picture was not satisfactory on a.nv basis of comparison.

berlain government in 1938 because of fundamental differences of opinion with the Prime Minister on foreign policy. .

l'ntil the Second World War, Lord Cecil was closely associated with League of Na- tions affairs and, during the war years, was tone of the architects of the United Nations. iCanada met this leader in international co- operation in 1949, when he delivered the rFalconer lectures on international affairs at the University of Toronto.

Latest gimmick for fishermen is the i”Buzzing Bee", developed by Jaromir Gry- gar, a Czech who went to Britain before the war and served in the R.A.F. His de- vice consists of a plastic jar containing a battery-operated mechanism producing a buzzing sound.

(Montreal Gnzettei

The soil of Italy has been the: cemetery for a long list of cuiturcs.i For centuries, Italians in the more; long-settled regions have been digging ancient pottery and sculp- ture out of their garden plot.s,, turning them up with plow-shares. The excavation of the Roman sub-, way has become somewhat far- cical; the planned straight lines have been abandoned whenever ancient cities beneath the city have been encountered. The re- sult. (though still somewhat bet- ter than Montreal's progress), re- sembles a pretzel more than a sub-

'a,v. Modern Italy has concern for more than accidental findings under her farms and streets. Vast cultural treasures are carefully stored and preserved above ground. To keep them from decay and disappearance. science has been called in to create the best. safe- guards for canvas and mural. 101” grlliwork and stonework, and for precious msnuscrlpts.

The work of one of these special agencies-la hospital for books"- is described in ”Italian Affairs" magazine. "Wonderful results have been Achieved in the restora- tion and reconst:ruct.ion' of the most hopelessly damaged books and MSS." says the article, ”and ab- solutely incomprehcnsibie writings are made legible."

The general procedure is s sim- ple but demanding one. Books and manuscripts are carefully de- tached fnto separate leaves; each leaf is as carefully inspected, re- paired and restored ti) its original appearance before the whole is.put together again.

The chemical laboratory is one of the principal orgsns of the In- stitute of Book Pathology. There. all molds and bacteria and the in- juries they cause are studied. There, too, are studied the com- positions of thousands of types of papers, bindings and inks, so that restoration materials used will be as near as possible to the original.

The picture of these patient specialists at work would be s good one to impress on those who, through ignorance or neglect, dis- flgure the books which come to us so cheaply today.
