Although little remains of the original structures ex- cept a few foundations and stretches of ex- terior walls, an adjoining amphitheater that served, for entertainment has been com- pletely restored.

The near-by settlement now emerging from the fields is expected to offer an out- standing opportunity for study, since it es- caped the destruction and overbuilding that occurred at other important sites as later towns grew up. If it fulfills hopes, it will be an impressive addition to the long list of reminders of the Roman way that flour- ished in Britain for nearly four centuries.

Roman roads can still be seen stretch- ing across open country-side. Radiating from London, some are buried beneath highways that link modern successors of the old Latin centers. Vestiges of Roman settlements, farms and villas, public baths. theaters, mines and military camps are scattered from the English Channel to the Roman Wail near the Scottish border.

The premium which Prince Edward Is- land potatoes command on many markets because of their reputation for quality seems to be too much of a temptation for some operators in Quebec. The report of

t Mr. E. B. Ellis, senior fruit and vegetable inspector, Charlottetown, that Quebec po- tatoes are being sold in Island bags is mat- ter of serious concern.

The hard earned reputation of our pota- toes would not long survive a wide-spread adoption of the practice. Producers, deal- ers, the Potato Marketing Board and Is-

i landers generally have a strong interest in seeing that this form of misrepresentation is dealt with promptly and effectively.

Mr. Ellis suggests that either shippers refrain from using in Quebec the familiar bags stamped with the name of Prince Ed-

Thus sang Kipling of England's historic past; and many other lines from "Puck's Song" will be recalled in connection with the latest archaeological find in the soil around Caerieon .on the River Usk ill southwest England, evidencing Roman life and influence in early Britain. The work i-l going on in fields close to the already ex- cavated ruins of the Roman legion fortress of Caerleon. Relics so far brought to light

i The decision to admit Japan to the ,Co1ombo plan as a donor country has con- :slderable attraction. Of the 14 present members, all five donor countries are out- iside of Asia. The addition of Japan in that t capacity would make the self-help aspect of ;the plan more dominant and take away isome of its one-sidedness. p I O 0 The remarkable strides made in mineral production in Canada is indicated by the i report of the directors of the Ontario Min- ling Association.

The Nova Scotian driver who did a bit of speeding in .Ontario will find that he cannot drive at 80 m.p.h. at home either. His impression that there is no speed limit in Nova Scotla was correctedby, the reg- istrar of motor vehicles who explained that,

"Our limit is that which is reasonable and '-,prudent' for existing conditions. with a p prima facie limit of 40 m.p.li." This Prov- I ince has a number of speed limits for var- l loiis circumstances. i ..L.
