"The Strongest Memory is Weaker Than the Weakest ink"

(ITHVARLOTTPYTOlVN. THURSDAY. NOV. it). 194a ______.___-

Remembrance iiay

'l‘omorrow is a day of remembrance not only of our heroic dead but also of the ideals for which they fought. It is the most challenging, as well as the most heartfelt, of all our anniversaries. The truth comes home to us at this time that peace is an achievement as arduous t0 maintain, as it was to secure YICIOPIOUSIY on the field of battle. It has been rightly’ described as a spiritual force, not a material finality. It has to be re-\von and re-consecrated. It can never be made permanent, however gallantly won. through blindness or selfishness.

The hunger for peace and the hatred of war are deeper today and stronger than at any time in our history. Let us cling fast to this conviction. Everywhere in the world that is the feeling of the common men and women. and everywhere in the democratic world that feeling is shared by responsible governments. Let it be crystallized in iiu- man thinking, and confirmed by wise states- manship on the part of peace-loving powers, and evcn the most unresponsive govern- ments and dictators will be powerless to stir up the old witches‘ brew of hatred and ag- gression. That is the principle on which we must build the peace of tomorrow, however many times the structure crumbles through our fumbling human efforts.

The torch has twice been handed to us, and again a day of victory on the calendar is slowly fading. But the memory of our glorious dead cannot die so long as we will it to live. Nor can the inspiration of their faith, which girded them with strength unto the battle. Their epitaph is truly inscribed around the bevelled margin of the great stone slab which upholds the Book of Re- membrance in Canada's Peace Tower at Ottawa. The lines are from Bunyan’s "Pil- grinfs Progress”, describing the death of Mr. Valiant-for-Truth: “My marks and scars I carry with me to be a witness for me that 1 fought His battles, who now will be my Rewarder; so he passed over, and all the trumpets sounded for him on the other side"

Splendid island Publicity

Congratulations to Mr. R. L. Burge, M. L. A., new Maritime potato king, and all our Island exhibitors who seem to be carry- ing everything before them at the Maritime Winter Fair this week. Other Island potato exhibitors were Mr. Burge's keenest com- petitors, while our swine breeders captured all first prizes and our cattle and horse ex- hibitors were also weli to the front. ‘lwo Island girls placed first and second respect- ively in the public speaking contest. At the time of writing, the Fair is still in progress and other Island records will doubtless be scored. Altogether, our farmers have dem- onstrated that we are not only maintain- ing our lead agriculturally, but are steadily improving those standards of efficiency which are so essential in competitive mar- keting.

It is to be hoped that our representatives at Ottawa will take full advantage of the successes scored at Amherst by stressing the benefits to Canada as well as to this Province in improving our Island transporta- tion services. This is one of the strongest points in our representation before the Royal Commission on Transportation—-that improvements in trucking, train and car- ferry facilities here are of cardinal import- ance to our neighbours as well as to our- selves. Money expended on such services is n gilt-edged investment for all Canada.

The Gust 0i Strikes

The strike in the United States steel in- dustry has focussed attention on the cost of strikes to the public. The U. S. News and World Report estimates that strikes have cost the United States about $6 bil- lion since the end of the war. Workers lost about $3 billion in wages. Business lost by railroads, wages lost by workers affect- cd indirectly, and trade losses growing out of strikes account for another $3 billion. Iron Age warns that the recent steel strike had cost the U. S. 4,300,000 tons of steel by the end of the struggle. The loss of $100 million in wages will have an adverse ei- fect on purchasing power. Steel production in the U. S. has been cut by about 23 mit- llon tons since the war.

Canada is not unaffected. This coun- try imports a large amount of steel from the U. S. A nation-wide strike of many days‘ continuance means a severe shortage of steel

for several months. The companies and work- ers directly concerned with strikes are not the only ones to suffer. The consumer will bear most of the lose, partly through high- er prices because production does not reach that makes price reduction possible.

EDITORIAL NOTES

All the things that can be said about Re- membrance Day are platitudes, but then everything really important that can be said is a platitude. lviemoigv, courage, devotion. self-sacrifice lack originality, but lack n0 ap- peal to the heart.

Our farmers and fishermen are leading the Maritime Provinces. The tourist indus- try has made a good start for next year by the plans to provide cabins in the National Park area. There is still plenty room to add to these in other parts of our (ielightftil beaches.

I Prince Edward island loses, and New Brunswick gains, a very efficient officer in the person of Superintendent Anderson, who relinquishes command of the R. C. M. P. here to become Commissioner of Highway Safety in our sister Province. O

Not so long ago there was great enthusi- asm for the integration of armed services of United States and Commonwealth coun- tries. From all appearances that move has lost momentum at Ottawa and all Govern- ment spokesmen can talk about now is

“Canadianization."

a Peace has its heroes no less than war, the more so because heroism represents the result of preparedness for service in an em- ergency. The 16 members of the Boy Scouts Association decorated this week by the Governor-General have proved that “Be Pre- pared" is no empty motto. O O O After all there is something slightly un- satisfactory about the latest report of the Dominion Bureau 0f Statistics that Can- ada‘s manufacturing industries had their biggest year in history in 1948. Undoubted- ly they did. but one cannot tell from thc report how much of that increase repre- sents high production and how much mere- ly the present high price level. I O O Oliver Goldsmith. British poet and dra- matist, and man of letters, died this date 1774. After severe struggles he began to be known in literary, society, and made the ac- quaintance of Johnson, Burke, Reynolds, Garrick and others. He was plain looking, marked with smallpox; generous to a fault; extremely foolish in most of his actions; lacking in the ability to make money sys- tematically, or to take care of it when made; he was beloved by everybody. His “Vicar of Wakefield", published in 1766, is one of the masterpieces of English fiction, and his brilliant comedy, “She Stoops to Conquer," still maintains its popularity. O I

The death of City Councillor Holland will be learned with deep regret through- out the Province. As a railway official, as Councillor and Chief Magistrate of Souris, and subsequently as a member of the City Council he was at all times courteous and efficient in his duties, always ready to shoulder responsibilities and to contribute of his time and means to worthy causes. The contribution of such men to the coni- munity cannot be measured in dollars and cents, and their loss is felt far beyond the immediate circle of their intimate friends and relations. It is tragic when, as in Coun- cillor Hollands case, the span of life is cut

short at a comparatively early period. O

A new species of bituminous pavement. is now receiving its baptism of fire along l-ligli- way No. 11, north of the St. Rose bridge, Quebec. This is a 1,000 foot stretch of high- way that lias been coated with a mixture of ordinary asphalt, plus rubber powder. Offi- cials of the Provincial Roads Department have decided on the experiment in question to determine whether the new pavement is superior to those presently in use through- out the Province. The mixture of asphalt and rubber is supposed to be better than ordinary asphalt, but a very important fac- tor-itl ability to ltand up under rigorous Canadian winter conditions -— remains to be determined. This is the reason for the stretch near the Ste. Rose bridge being sel- ected for the experiment, since highway traffic is particularly heavy throughout the

year at that point. O

The hard experience of Britain's Labour Government has opened the eyes of doc- trinaire socialists to certain aspects of their policies which did not present themselves before the event. Not least of these is George Bernard Shaw who now recognizes this eyes being opened by the increase in absenteeism among workers secure in their jobs and unincliiied to work harder for more production, preferring less production and more leisure) that a substitute must be found in the socialist state for the lash of starvation. starvation is abolished, compulsory indus- military service. That is, indeed, the choice we must make, either to live in a society in which our own economic survival forces us to produce, or one in which the power of the States does the forcing.

ISLAND SETFLERS AIDED

"At a meeting of the office bearers and directors of the High- land Society of Prince Edward ls-

cided to form a committee for the purpose of imparting to Scottish and other emigrants in landing on our shores, useful information as regards the resources of the coun- try, the terms on which lands can bc obtained in this Island, and any other knowledge they might rc- qiiire. The members of the com- mittee appointed were the presi- dent, lion. Donald MacDonald. vice-president, Charles Young, Esq.. and Messrs. Purdic, John McGill and Secretary MacNeill. "We think this movement will be of vast benefit to strangers visiting this Island. for the purpose of settling. It is intended as the foundation of an incipient Land Office. ivhcrc every species of in- formation may be obtained by persons who may have lately emi- grated to this lslaiid. and who are ignorant of the resources of this fertile and healthy Colony. We trust that landholders will take advantage of the offer thus thrown

convey to the members of the committee such information as may be useful. We understand that the Society is turning its at- tention to facilitate Education in this Colony. by imponting a useful rudimeivtal class of books from the Edinburgh Educational Society, and have remitted funds for that purpose."
