= Atlantic Food Campaign — ‘ Po At ii conclusion of the. _Eood how at Moncton last April, a promo- and identification committee of e Atlantic Provinces Economi Gouncil was set up to explore ways means to more. fully advertise popularize the food industry of thes inces. The program adopt- launched officially on Mon- lay, S eieaary 19. This is one of the’ nost promising moves initiated by EC, and it is of particular impor- ce to Prince Edward Island, the jarden Province of Canada whose economy is so vitally ‘dependent upon production and marketing. In a communication received from e APEC committee, it is noted that hile the’bringing of new industries to the Atlantic Provinces has sound ibilities, it is important not to rlook the industries we now have. the food industry we have one hich has neither been-exploited nor oted as it should be. We have y rich agricultural districts with from 10 to 100 good farmers who oould be earning thousands of dollars more and contributing much of it to the economic advantage of their eommunities. There is a growing market for our fish and farm pro- ducts; and these Provinces them- selves are a deficiency ‘area for many food items that can be grown within aa About sixty Atlantic companies will be taking part in the APEC food ee program. They will, as far as possible, concentrate on a three months’ trial period, with banner slogans advertising food items which are the products of Atlantic industry. If the trial period proves successful, it is planned to repeat this concen- trated advertising period another time. This month’s promotion will be the starting point.

t Radiation Effects

Scientists are generally agreed that a “safe” dose of tion is about 0.1 “roentgens” annual- . Anything much in excess of that figure over a considerable period is considered dangerous. Recently, how- ever, it was discovered that fisher- men along the coast of Kerala State in India have for generations been subjected to individual doses amount- ing to more than 1.5 roentgens a year. This over a period of thirty years/would amount to ten times the average dose.

Surprisingly, it seems to have done the fishermen no visible harm. Such expected after-effects as falling hair, blindness, debility and skin dis- eases and genetic mutations—result- ing in the birth of crippled children— geem to be even less prevalent than in other areas where the radiation dose is much smaller. In fact, accord- ing to an Indian scientist who has been studying the situation, the fish-

lific’. Ne adds that they are “com-. pletely unaware of their background radiation.”

_ The coloured sands of the Kerala -Goast, one of the world’s largest de- posits of uranium, were regarded by Indians in olden days as possessing ‘Special qualities:s Nothing, of course. was then know of atomic radiation. The “special qualities” were suppos- ed to be magical in character. The -king of the region once gave a hand- ful of the sand as a gift to the Chin- ese ambassador. “The possession of

out evil spirits, calms frayed tem- pers and makes for better relations among human beings.” As soon as the inhabitants learn about the po- tential dangers, they will probably develop all sorts of ailments and ‘neuroses.

_ Science And Religion

In a recent issue of Saturday Re- view there is a very interesting article entitled “A Scientist Pon» ders Faith” by Dr. Warren. Weaver, a well known American scientist and Vice-President for the Natural and Medical Sciences, Rockefeller Foun- - dation. We feel that our readers wil] be particularly interested in the final

“that fifty years ago essentially every

(or five hundred years ago, for that matter) there were persons who be. lieved that the basic principles of ‘the Sermon on the Mount were per- fect and unchangeable. Now. the two scientific principles I have mention- ed have been discarded. Te be sure, _ they have joined to form a broader new principle; but the fact remains that each, considered separately,

simply is known today to be untrue?”

- The newspapers of the past months have told us of the recent collapse of

‘another scientific principle—parity. One confidently expects further real-

ly revolutionary changes in our pre-

sent scientific conceptions of time,

Christ. I think the day has come al- ready when one may proudly say: “I “preach the gospel of Christ and the ‘gospel of Science.”

Mr. Judd’s Snub

Apart from a few organized dem- onstrations, hostility in the United States towards the visiting Soviet Deputy Premier Mikoyan appears to be less evident than had been expect- ed. Several clubs and other organiza- tions have invited him to speak; and there has been a number of invita- tions for social engagements of one kind and another.

It must not be thought, however, that there is no resentment against Mr. Mikoyan’s. visit. Representative Walter Judd, an influential Republi- can member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, turned down an invitation to a dinner given in hon- our of the Russian official by Eric Johnston, President of the Motion Picture Association of America, in these words: “I will not be present for the same reason that I would not attend a social function honouring Hitler, Khan. Only harm to our country and to humanity can come from enter- taining here men whose hands drip with the blood of millions already dead, still dying or being crushed in slave camps. Private negotiations with tyrants actually in power in a country are one thing. Conferring re- spectability on them or their prestige and power by accep- tance into civilized society is avite another.”

There can‘be no doubt that mik lions of Americans—and Canadians, too—share Mr. Judd’s views. And it ean be taken for granted that Ameri- can Government officials who are are doing so with some constraint. Diplomatic custom compels them to act courteously in a situation that cannot be pleasant for them. There is also, of course, the hope—perhaps a~ feeble one—that Mr. Mikovan’s

visit will contribute something to- wards better relations between the Soviet Union and the West. Cextainly ‘if all officials had followed Mr. Judd's: example and snubbed the visitor, re-

lations would get worse instead of better.

ABOUT GOV'T. HOUSE

Bridge And Park Roadway

By T. E. MacNutt

Due to dredging which has re- cently taken place near the en- trance to Government House in connection with the sewer line from Spring Park the following may be of interest:

The late Hon. Benjamin Davis (father of Sir Louis’ in a let‘er | in the Examiner of 18th January ! 1896, said in part: “The first bridge buik over the stream that divides the Town from Govern- ment’ House was erected by the Military. under Captain Christ- ian, and was called Christian's | Bridge. There| was a road lead- | ing directly from the bridge to! the Fort, whereon any person could trave! at their pleasure, and it remained open until Gov- | ernmem House was bult”

In 1896 a legal battle was rag-

Mayor James. Warburton - in his report to the Caty Council on 8th January stated the Park Roadway been completed.

The Roadway was greatly im- proved and drives paved during the term of office of the late P.W. Turner as Mayor.

The ques- | tion seems to have been, was the roadway to be north or. south of the bank—namely, on land of | Government House or on the! shore immediately in front.

DECISION APPEALED

The local Supreme Court seems to have decided that the latter was what was méant. On oc advice of L.H, Davies, Q.C.. City Counsi! dec ided to aan the matter to the Supreme Court | a Ottawa. ‘Examiner 14th Jan- uary, 1876). Mayor W.E. Daw- |

Tne Examiner of 28th March, | 1896. states that the recent visit of the Mayor and Councillor Nicholson to OttaWa had appar-

enily met with uccess. They | had pointed out at the bank was falling away least a foot

Brighton Road and through Victoria Park. The con- struction of the Roadway would shorten the route by about a mile. The Minister at Ottawa | promised a liberal gram towards | the projects.

CIVIC CLAIMS :

The’ Examiner of 3ist March. 1896, states that Hon. Mr. Peters | gave notice of his intention ‘to introduce a bill settling the

question of the claims of the City to a roadway in front of Governmem House. He also

gave notice of a bill providing | for the sale of Government House property “after — the term of the present Lieutena.t Governor shall

The Examiner of states that Mayor Dawson said. at a mee‘ing of the City Council that a representation from the Council had accompanied the | members of the Legislature on | Shturday to the site of the pro-|

of land from the imner bank would be obtained.

On 20th April Mr. Peters in- troduced a bill entitled ‘The Victoria Park Roadway Act 1896" which was ordered to be read a second time the next day, which was done. The’ Bill was a compromise and would give the City an average of about 65 feet for the roadway, which Mr. Pet- ers said was almost all, if not all the land the City originally asked for—the City would spend $10,000 or $12,000 on the project.

The Bill was assented to by Hon. George Howlan. Lieuien- , ant Governor, on the 30th April, ‘\1996
