CHARl.()TTETOWN FRIDAY. OCT. 18, 1853 Wide Horizons

The people of Southport propose that

it will be a long time before that commug,

nity runs short of land suitable for develop- ment within its own boundaries. They have no doubt observed the unfortunate posi- tion of other incorporated communities in this Province and elsewhere, hemmed in by too narrow limits and forced to see their real development taking place ouside their limits. The meeting on Wednesday, which requested that a plebiscite be taken on the question of incorporation as a village, pro- posed boundaries which enclose an area bounded by the Hillsborough River, the entrance to Charlottetown Harbour and Hillsborough Bay. The proposed eastern boundary is beautifully simple, being a straight line formed by the Mason Road and its extension. It ends on the south 250 feet east of the Kinlock Road.

It takes some imagination, or rather vision, today to see this district as a politi- cal unit but, despite the varied type and stage of development of its different sec- tions, on the map the area is indeed a unit and there can be no doubt that it will best develop and prosper if administered as a composite whole.

It is elementary but all too easily ig- nored that the most effective planning must take place well in advance of development. We can decide in advance what kind of communities we wish to live in but once they have been built it is costly, if not im- possible. to rectify the errors of unplanned development.

Business llevolutlon

Business is on the threshold of a new development with the impact of a coming industrial revolution, according to Business Week magazine's special report to execu- tives on Tomorrow's Management. Just as mechanical power was the heart of the first industrial revolution, so electronics is the heart of the 20th century development. The special report outlines just what the implications of this revolution are to cor- porations internally and to business as a part of the changing scene.

Much of what lies on the fringes of pro- duction and management techniques are just now beginning to loom larger in the planning of business men. Those who are looking ahead know that when the elec- tronic age becomes a reality, it will mean vast changes in: 1. The shape of corpora- tions; 2. Their operations; and 3. The economy as a whole. There will be vast amounts of goods produced automatically. A term has been coined for the new-type production-automation.

Among domesticated animals, the horse holds age honors. It lives from 20 to 35 years. Cows rarely live beyond 25. Dogs live 5 to 15 years, occasionally 20. Cats- ones that live well-have a span of only '.” to 15 years, despite their mythical nine lives. ' ,

Patriarch of the fish family is the carp, some of which have been known to fre- quent quiet ponds for 60 to 75 years. Trout,; bass and perch rarely reach 15 years of 1 age, minnows less than 5.

Parrots share with ostriclies. eagles and vultures the longevity record among birds -up to 60 years. Canaries rarely exceed 25; robins, 12; and starlings, 8.

Adult life of many insects is reckoned merely in hours. Most durable are queen ants which may reach 16, and queen bees which sometimes live 5 or more years. Part of the secret of a queen bee's long life seems to be a jelly, rich in special nutrients, which is secreted from the glands of worker bees and fed to the queen.

A mouse can exist for as long as 5 years if it stays out of feline reach. 'The maximum age for a fox is about 12; deer and beavers may live 15 years. Span of squirrels and rabbits is 8 to 12 years. Pigs and sheep can reach 20.

Other reptiles are babes compared to the tortoise. Record for the alligator is 43. Snakes are even shorter-lived; their record is 21 years.

Prisoner Of War- Claims

(Ottawa Citizen)

The ruling on prisoner of war claims handed down by Chief Jus- tice Campbell of the Prince Ed- ward Island Supreme Court of- fers redress for R grievance of long standing. On the whole, men held -prisoner by the Germans in World War II have not been con- sidered eutomatlcally eligible for compensation on grounds of mal- treatment, ss was the case with soldiers confined by the Japanese. Yet. proof of maltreatment in Ger- man camps would have required testimony by individual ex-pris- oners. and many of these were reluctant to re-open old wounds. Chief Justice Campbell's report reduces personal investigations to a minimum.

A semi-automatic award, with- out corroboratlon or proof. is re- commended for men taken at Dleppe, and subjected to forced marches, chaining. and degrada- tion. Those who underwent forced marches in the winter of 1944-45 come within the same category. But there will also . be compensation for other forms of maltreatment. some not so obvious. Ratlons and clothing were often inadequate by the standanls of the Geneva convention. Men were compelled to work on a diet below that en- joyed by the general population. This could be considered a form of maltreatment, although no physical violence was involved.

Much of the argument for coni- pensation. made by the National Council of 'Cenadlan Prisoners of War, was based on the fact that they had not received what they were entitled to under the Gen- eva Convention. The ex-prisoners regarded the food and clothing they should have received, but did not. as property which was taken away from them, and on which they had n claim. Whether the award is claimed for mal- treatment, or for restoration of property, it is clearly deserved. for Chic! Justice Campbell has found that the prisoners did, in- deed. suffer from lack of food and other elementary necessities.

JOHNSTONES ITINERARY

From a letter descriptive of, Prince Edward Island. by Wall" Johnstone, 30th July, 1821:

"I have now travelled over the

greater part of the Island on both, the southern and northern shores. from East Point as far west as Bedeque on the one side and Malpeque or Prlncetown on the other. I have also crossed over the Island from the one shore to the other at four different points and traversed much of it several times over. . . - "After leaving East Paint a lit- tle on the south-east side of the Island, the see has receded from the lend n good way. where A large send-ridge is found upon the back of it, when the tide comes and goes by an entrance a considerable way to the south- west. This is called East: Lake. Another to the west oflthle celled West Lake. The land bor- dering on these lakes hi good, and lately bottled from Pei-tbshlre. The scenery is beautiful and romantic; but it is for from market. . . Af- ter we leave these lakes the land in thinly settled. and the woods. at present, much infested with mice; but when the land: are more cleared. this evil will be Ion prevalent. -

London. Many famous or- Lhaeological and prehistoric re- mains on this side of the Atlantic will soon be dated more accurate- ly by 1 new British adaption of the American radio-carbon tech- nlque.

The method, which consists - f reducing the carbon sample 1 ii gas (acetylene) has been worked Out by A group of chemists and physicists from the Harwell Atomic Research Station and also from the research laboratories At- tached to the Royal Institute and the 200-year-old British Museum. it is based essentially on the disintegration of activated carbon particles, first demonstrated by Willard F. Libby of the Univers- ity of Chicago's Institution for Nuclear Studies and subsequently adopted by several universities in the United States, Denmark and New Zeaiand.

Dr. Libby volunteered to teach his technique to British chronolo- glsts in 1949 but the Labor Gov- ernment refused to grant funds and the problem of establishing I national laboratory of radio-can bon chronology wal referred to the isotope di.visl.on at Harwell.

The British method. like American, depends on the

. that all organic remains, such-as

ancient wood, bone and seeds, are composed of two kinds of carbon, the ordinary element, of atomic weight, 12, and the isotopic ver- iety, called carbon 14, which is transmuled in the upper atmos- phere by cosmic rays and ab- sni-bed by plants and animals in the form of carbon dioxide.

The relationship of the two forms of carbon in ancient or- ganlc remains can be estimated by radio sensitive countries for iime periods up to 15,000 years. Estimates are based on the fact that bf'lB particles or fast elec- trons, "escape" at n diminishing rate from the radio-carbon, and at an age, or half Illfe. of approx- imately 5,600 years only half the particles remain.

The American technique con- sists of converting organlc- re- mains first to carbon dioxide and then to pure carbon by passing it over hot magnesium. The sooty carbon is then spread thin-

ly in the form of a fine film around the inside of n geiger counter which records the beta

Carbon Clock

(John Hllleby in the New York Times)

does not allow small samples to -be used. The film. they claim. cannot be made sufficiently thin and the particles are subject to "self-absorption."

It is also alleged here that Am- ex-icon counters known as "screen" wells register less than 10 per cent of the total carbon eman- stions. This, it is said, permits accuracy ratios of no more than plus or minus 400 years in age estimates of 5.000.

The British technique consists of reducing the organic sample: to either acetylene or ethylene gas. Acetylene is feyored, al- though its explosive properties under compression are proving I handicap. Acetylene is made by converting the sample to csrbor. dioxide and passing it over heat; ed lithium and adding gas-fret water to the resultant leithluir carbide.

O I 0

British chronologlsts claim that their new type of counters can register 70 per cent of the par- ticles in their free gaseous state. They also claim that the tech nlque can be operated with about five instead of ten grams of or- genlc material. and the results are accurate to within plus or mlnus 200 year: in 5.000.

The new lead-sheathed particle counters used here are surround-

gelger counters." "which register and discount radiation: from external sources such as .cosmlc activity.

The apparatus is to be instal- led at the British Museum and will be available for all archae- ologists and preiiistorianx early next year. Priority claims are now being worked out by a com- mittee. v

Unfortunately neither the British nor American carbon "clocks" can register the age of organic re- mains much earlier than 15,000 or at most 20.000 years B.C.

Replying to 3 question about whether or not young mentodsy are "spineless" because they ex- pect their wivee to work, a col- support of the marriage where both partners work-end hive to work-to sup- port the home. She cites as a typical instance the case of A year- old marriage in which the man is 23. the girl 21. The marriage could not have taken place for several years without both part- ncrl continuing to work, and meantime the couple have those several years of married life which they would have otherwise missed. The final conclusion is drawn that "they are a courageous, cep- eblo couple who knew what they wanted." There in room for some thoughtful debate here. and pos- sibly the more so because the pet- tern of early marriages, contrad- ed before the man is emotional- ly mature or anything like fi- nancially independent, is becoming more and more on established feature of our society.
