For years the Railway has been criticis- ed for failing to keep abreast of the times in this Province. particularly in its rail passenger service. This service. due to in- creased motor vehicle traffic, has been op- erating more and more at a loss and this fact has been repeatedly emphasized in the rulings of the Transport Commission. We now have the assurance of Transport Min- ister Chevrier as well as that of Mr. Don- ald Gordon that the new service would pro- vide a better as well as more economic means of conveyance, and this statement from a responsible minister of the Crown goes to the root of the question. It means that this is a matter of Federal Govern- ment policy in implementing our Confeder- ation terms in the light of modern require- ments. It must be viewed from this realistic standpoint hy.lhc transportation committee and by the Legislature when it gets round to considering the committee's report.

nontlnuoiis communication

Forced labour, obviously. cannot come into any discussion of transportation or any other industry or service in this Prov- ince or nation. It is presumed that the la- bour employed will bc free to decline any contract and it. is from that very obvious premise that problems must be consider- ed.

The basic law of the land is the coiisti- tution. the British North America Acts and other constitutional documents. For Prince Edward Island in particular. an important part of the constitution are the recitals in the Order-in-Council admitting this Prov- ince and which reproduce the terms of the joint addresses of the houses of the Island and Federal legislatures. The recitals pro- vide, amoiigst other things. for the Domin- ion Government to cstzililish and maintain efficient steam service between the Island and thc l'll'rlllllEll1Cl.

The mczins by Hlll(7ll.ll'llS is provided is up to the Dominion, but the obligation is unavoidable. It would be unconstitutional for the Dominion to place itself in a pos- ition iii wliicii ariytliing or anyone could unducly iiiicrfcro with communication be- tween this Province and the mainland.

Protests against salacious literature have gone a step farther at Ottawa than in Charlottetown and now a group of private citizens in the Federal capital are reported- ly planning to form a "vigilante commit.- tce" which would patrol the city's book stores and boycott those which the coin- mlttecs judge to be selling obscene publica- tions.

"This," comments the Ottawa Citizen. "hardly seems a course to commend itself to the public. The Criminal Code provides for the removal of obscene literature and objectionable crime comics from the book shelves. On the whole. these laws win pub- lic approval. But, they must be applied with clrcumspectlon. Pure obscenlty.ls one thing. Earthlncss which is part of literature -and often great literature-ls another. It is for A judge to decide which is which; ln doing no. ;lie must show cool deliberation

The lowered retirement age passed last week for teachers will undoubtedly relieve many cases of hardship but it would be very unfortunate indeed if it resulted in pressure being brought to bear on anyone to retire at 55. On the contrary every inducement must be given for experienced teachers to continue their service.

Sir Adrian Cedric Boult, English con- ductor. was born this date 1889. He studied music at Oxford under Sir Hugh Allen, at Leipzig under Sitt and Lidner, devoting at- tention to the methods of Nikisch. He has directed many symphonic and choral groups, particularly in the works of the younger English composers. In 1937 he published "A Handbook on the Technique of Con- ducting."

Some form of amnesty may be desir- able for,the lesser offenders amongst Ger- man war criminals. The principle should not, however, be that proposed by a Ger- man soldiers' federation-relief to those who were carrying out orders of superiors. Such a principle is directly contrary to long established rules of war and would have the effect of exonerating almost every war

criminal except the late Fuehrer. O I O

The Province has reason to be proud .of the prominence attained by Mr. Hubert Rogers, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. -Fred Rogers. Albertoii and Saint John, in the world of . art. as exemplified by his portraits of Lord and Lady Alex- ander. Also deserving credit is Mr. J. lwatson MticNaught, M.P. for Prince. and Assistant Minister of Fisheries, for the in- terest he cvinces in art and those Island- ers who make it their profession or pastime.

Af- ter Mr. Reagh left. I. rector with private means became rector, a man who had his points but. who retained the position after his usefulness had ceased. The Arch- dencon asked me if I would take over the work as Lay Reader lor the summer before going to Toi- onto to commence my studies for the ministry. Of exceedingly hap- py experlences I need not write, but there were some fine families in the parish at that time. My immediate object in writing is to risk you if you will not urge L. E. T., who has a fine historical sense and a good popular style to write up the hlstoiy of St. Eliz- abeth's Church, Springfield, st. John's Church. Milton, ,snd other churches on the Island, such as that at Crapnud, Port. 1.-lill and Georgetown. It seems a pity not to conserve history. St. Mark's, st. Elizabetlfs and st. John's were all the work of An out- standing eccleslastical arcliitect. Mr. Harris. who gave much of his work to the churches free in or- der that we might have worthy edifices.

NEWFOUNDLAND TRADE

Sir,-I Attended the Federation of Agriculture meeting during Fsrmers' Week. Hid came away with the feeling that the exec- utive were not being quite fair with their members.

I believe that the report (offic- ial or unofficial). of the delega- tion to Newfoundland should have been given to the meeting when asked for. If not available at. that time, could it not hove been pub- lishcd later?

It seems to be generally agreed that our trade with Newfound- land has suffered considerably in recent years. Our lack of proper modern facilities for processing and shipping our products hos been stressed by our Federation as one of the chief reasons for this loss of trade. Very strong recommendations were made, to that effect. in their briefs to the Legislature, prior to their brief At. the presentsession when, strange- ly, the subject seems to have lost its importance. Perhaps they are taking time out to re-group their forces. as they did on the ques- tion of rural electrification. when.

STARCH FACTORY PROPOSED

"An important meeting of the farmers of Glenflnnan and vicin- ity was held in Glcnflnnan school- room on Thursday evening, the 1st inst. Mr. John Stewart presid- ed Ind briefly explained the pur- pose of the meeting. the desir- nbility of having in starch factory in the neighborhood, and his hearty approval of the undertak- ing. Mr. Justin McCarthy. Don- ngh. was also in full accord with the enterprise, and as he never does things by halves, he had 8 list. of fifty-one acres of potatoes to show he meant business. Oth- crs who had very satisfactory lists included Mr. James A. MacDon- nld. Johnston's River Point, Mr. Philip S. Lane. Glcnflnnsn. and James E. Laverly. Pond Settle- ment.

"No section made A more earn- est and ready response than Mon- nghnn Road. The number of acres they subscribed wus sevtney-two.

something lacking."

I found this hard to believe us I thought that sheep had to barn fed to keep in good condi- tion. I-Iowevcr, as I recalled the sheep I had sheared. realization came that the half wild sheep had been the easiest to shear and the tough ones were those that had the best of care And were fat: as butter and clean as A whistle. This was 'a new problem, so I appealed to our experts.

First, the agricultural represent- atives unanimously denied any knowledge of the matter. Then I turned to the Experlmcntnlrsrnis and colleges. Dr. Hancock. pro- vincial pathologist. after full in- quiry said that he knew nothing about it. Most all other top notchcrs did their best. to help me and explained All about il:.but it was apparent that their know- ledge was the same as that of Dr. Hancock, except thnt they did not know they knew nothing.

I saw it was up to ourselves, the wool growers. to solve.this problem as no one in any of our Departments of Agriculture are interested in making a. study of how to keep the sheep's wool in good condition. Our grandmothers had taught us something ,about wool. and our present day experts adhere religiously to grandinitls ideas, but do not realise that there have been changes in the i t, hundred years, and that feed- in methods that were O.K. then will not work now.

Before the last war, when shearing for the his K. A. Mur- ray of saltsprings, we found his wool hnd been in perfect condi- tion nll winter. The only reason we could think of was that he had fed the sheep Sol. Mln.. A kind of complete mixed mineral. Thinking this might be the an- swer to the problem. hot spring I sent A letter to All the sheep- men I knew. sdvlsing them to feed the sheep complete mineral. The. results were Almost Aurt- llng. apnea will not Allow telling much About them here. but it is me to cell A little.

when Iheu-lng lslt Spring I made A close study of the matter And. found thnf. on most fArmA yearling and dry sheep gcncrslly slieu-ed easily. but ewes thAi; but two or three lunbs were generally hard to shear. On coins farms no sheep were fit to chest. though the sheep were fat. Of the. sheep that waived mineral most of them did not got it until March And it was mu-ked du- tinctly on the wool when they got
