Fire Cl1ieis' Convention

The warm official welcome tendered yesterday to the Maritime Fire Chiefs As- sociation reflects the sentiments of all our citizens. This is the Association's forty- first annual convention, and one of the largest in the rgani'1.ationls history. k'lrar- lottetown has (iiad the privilege of playing host to our Maritime fire fighters on other occasions, always with gratifying success. and it is most appropriate that they should come here during our civic centennial cele- brations. Next week we shall have the Fire- mcn”s Tournament, with its traditional fes- tivities, including a street parade, in which our citizens have always shown a keen in- tercst.

We are justly proud of the record of our own firemen. not only with regard to the manner in which they discharge their arduous and dangerous duties, but in the field of sports and other activities. They have a tradition stretching back as far as that of the city itself, and membership in their organization is a proud badge of good citizenship today as it has been down through the years. They work for honor and not for hire. carrying no service stripes or medals to denote their achievements. They disappear into the general ranks of our citizens until the emergency call sounds, and then. from all quarters, they gather almost instantaneously and are on the scene of action with amazing efficiency and riesrmicll. Day or night, it is all the same it is fascinating to watch their cool and deliberate movements In fighting a dattgni-nuts blaze, in and around blrlldinil-S that at any moment may topple down upon them. or entrap them in the flames. We are so accustomed to these exhibitions of skill and courage that we take them almost for granted. Perhaps that is the highest tri- bute that can be paid to any body of men; but it should not make us forgetful of their claims upon our gratitude.

Other Maritime communities have their; own good reasons for extolling their fire fighters. and their own legitimate pride in the fine men that make up these organ- izations. There is no need to discriminate; all are units of one magnificent operational force, continuously on call.

Unusual Visitors

Reports from the biological station at St. Andrews, N. 13., indicate that many strange fish, which hitherto confined their

are making occasional appearances in these parts. There is. for example. the dreaded man-eating shark which, when frilly grown. is about .'-it) feet long. On the other end of the measuring scale is the lantern fish Which never grows beyond the 4 inch mark. Others in the tourist list are moon fish robin fish. trirzsxnr fish, and trumpet fish.

not for destructive, sterile, and negative purposes brit for generous, social. and posi- tive under'takings':”' Why not, indeed? There is no reason in the world why it could not be done, provided, of course. that the nations of the world-especially the big and powerful ones-can cease their preoccupa- tion with rumours of war and get down seriously to tidings of peace. But there's the rub. The world has got so accustom- ed to alarms, tensions, cold wars, and the

: like. that almost everyone is a little afraid

to expect very much in the way of happier international relations. Perhaps M. Faure's proposal will help to direct attention away from negative denunciations of this and that to positive measures for the brighten- ing of the world's condition.

In essence, M. Faure's proposal differs very little, if at all, from the one suggested by President Eisenhower several months ago. it comes, however, at a more aris-

ppiciorr.-” lime: and, if the Soviets are at all

sincere in their protestations of good in- tentions. they can show it by according the plan more attention than they gave the Eisenhower proposal contained in the atoms for peace program. The Western bloc has already sanctioned it in principle.

Quarrelling Over Prestige

Now that a federation of the British West Indies appears to be imminent, rival claims are being made concerning the situ- ation of the new capital city. The two chief claimants for the distinction-if that is the word for it-are Trinidad and Bar- bados. The Trinidadians

a few miles north of Port-of-Spain, would make an ideal location, inasmuch as most of the buildings which would be needed for the capital are already there. Since the United States is not using the base at the present time, it is thought that there would lbe no difficulty in obtaining title to the property for a reasonable sum: the United States Government, it is thought in Trin- idad. might even give the site as a gesture of friendship and in appreciation for the island's wartime co-operation.

Barbados. on the other hand, thinks

this arrangement would be both tinsatis- tfactory and undignified. Its citizens feel

Jthat their island has the best. climate, the ihest communications, and plenty of hotels:

lto accommodate the delegates until more ipermanent buildings could be erected. Be- lsidcs that, says the Barbados Advocate. "Trinidad would be an unpopular choice ;because of certain unsavory features of Trinidadian public life which only the pas- isage of time will erase". Just what these "unsavory features" are, which are peculiar lto Trinidad, the paper does not say. i It is the same old story of petty local differences and jealorrsies threatening the junity of the larger group. Perhaps the ;solution will be to pick one of the smaller Tislands, perhaps Antigua, for the place of

jihonour. Anyhow, it is unpleasant to hearj travels to tropical and semi-tropical waters. lof quarrclling over prestige even before the

new federation has become a reality. It is not a very good beginning.

Soo Locks

By Ken ct-ndlu Pun

. The world's busiest canal gets ; special'att.ention in Canadian week, ,July 20-28, as part of the S00 locks centennial being celebrated by the cities of Sault Ste. Marie in ,0ntario and Michigan, right through the summer until Sept. 5. l The lntlth anniversary is actu- -ally of the stale lock. built on the ;Michigan side of the St. Mary's .river in 1855. Reference to that ' ck as the ”first” in the St. Mary's falls canal rryst cm sometimes causes some Canadian eyebrow -lifting since the North West Fur ,Company built a lock on the Cana- idian side of the river in 1797-98 gto bypass the rapids in the river Iwhtch links Lakes Superior and Huron.

There now are five locks on the U.S. side of the river and one on the Canadian side. Traffic runs more than 100,000,000 tons a year- more than the combined total of the Suez and Panama canals.

HISTORIC LINK

A portion of the old fur lock, restored during construction of the present Canadian lock, is still a point: of historic interest in the Soo. It was 38 feet long and 8 feet, 9 inches wide. with a lift of 9 feet. There was a towpath along its banks for oxen to haul the canoes and balcaux which plied between Montreal and the Head of the Lakes in the heyday of the frir trade.

The Northwest lock was de- stroyed by American troops in the last year of the War of l8i2-14.

The present Canadian lock owed its birth largely to the second Riel Rebellion, for in 1885 the troops and guns of the Middleton Expedi-i lion against the rebels were re- fused passage on the U.S. side.

Men and guns had to portage around the rapids over a trail still traceable in Algoma, along which bits of equipment still may be found.

The ships of the expedition then were permitted to pass through

Centennial

pleted on the Michigan side In the same year based on mean water information, Canada gained I three-tenths-of-an-inch advantage in a contest for naval supremacy which never came off.

The 18-foot depth long has been insufficient for the bigger Great Lakes freighters. So has the 60-foot width of the Canadian lock. It had its greatest days in the years 1910- 13. when it handled more freight than three American locks com- bined. before the addition on the Michigan side of the Davis lock in 1914, the Sabin in 1919 and the MacArthur. in 1963.

The climax of its supremacy was reached in 1913. when the ton- nage it handled totalled 42,696,143 ton: compared with the American Iocklf 37,002,201.

Today its chief claim to pro- eminence is that it handles all passenger traffic between Lakes Huron and Superior-that traffic being denied use of the American locks for security reasons.

Wearing Hats

Ottawa Jounrd

That interesting MP--and man- Mr. Jean Francois Pouliot gave the House this week a fascinating tale about the origins of many of its rules, including this twe had never heard it before):

"There in a practice that mem- bers can wear their hats when they sit. in the House. It came about because of the drafts at Westminster. They had to protect their skulls against the drafts coming across the hall".

Mr. Coldwell, a sometime school teacher. and who has explored the history books a lot, had a mildly different version. Said he:

"I was told (at school) that the custom arose t in ancient times when the Knights entered the House of Commons they wore their helmets In order to protect themselves should anything occur

also used hats as sort of baskets

for the notes of their speeches. This last practice once drew

from O'Connell one of his famous

witticisms. A notoriously long-

winded speaker had been drawing

notes from his hat, and O'Connell,

who followed him, began with this

paraphrase of Goldsmith:

That may come when he has shown beyond question that he is a world statesman of top-notch calibre. 9 O 0 The Soviet Union's demand that all for- eign troops in Germany be moved back to their ”national frontiers" must surely have been intended as a joke, since it would mean that while American and Canadian forces wouhi have to cross the Atlantic. Soviet forces would have to retreat only a few miles. No one in his right sense woiild ex- pect that to happen.

One strip on the lakes had a beam of more than 42 feet at that time.

On the advice of ship captains the width was changed to 60 feet, and an excavation along one side had to be filled in. At the same time the length was increased to 900 feet. This length was based on ability to handle two vessels of 250- foot length and one of 300 feet at the same time. It was ' ' ed very unlikely that vessels more than 300 feet long ever would ply the Great Lakes. Today ore car- riers more than double that length are not uncommon.

A 16-foot lock depth at the mill: was originally approved, for it was pointed out that none of the busy ports of those days like Owen Sound.
