UHARLOTTETOWN SATURBI-K-Y.-MARCH J,-1951

Security For couriers

Earlier this week Mr. T. J. Kickham, the Liberal member for King's, proposed in the House of Commons that the con- tract system of engaging rural mail couriers be ended and the couriers employed on a milage basis. He also proposed an ad- justment by which the average income of couriers in this Province would be modest- ly increased.

That the faithful carriers of His Maj- esty's Canadian mails deserve an increase is certain but more important than the rates paid is the system under which they work. .

While every other class of worker has been demanding and getting additional se- curity of employment, the rural courier has continued in the role of a private con- tractor. For him there is no security of employment beyond the term of his con- tract, no sick benefits, no prospect of qua!- ifying for pension should his contract be repeatedly renewed until he is no longer able to make his rounds.

In 1951 he is regarded as being able to negotiate with ,the Post Office Depart- ment as though he were a railway, a steam- ship line or an airline company.

It is high time that the hopeless dis- parity in bargaining positions between him and the Department was recognized and that couriers be dealt with as a body of employees.

Mr. Drew's Position

Opposition Leader George Drew i...s ranked himself strongly behind those who are urging decentralization of defense in- dustries in the House of Commons. Speak- ing on this subject last Monday, he said that the allocation of 83 per cent of de- fense contracts to the Central Provinces was manifestly unfair.

"As a member from one of those Central Provinces," Mr. Drew said, "it does seem to me that this is a remarkable dis- proportion, in view of the fact that pay- ment for these contracts will be made right across the country, in proportion to their capacity to pay. I am satisfied that none of the people living in the Central Provinces will disagree with the idea that. to the extent to which public funds can be allocated in a proportionate manner,.th-at should be done."

Incidentally, in the same debate in Par- liament it was pointed out that in Prince Edward Island the amount spent per head on war contracts was d73.65, as against 55509.55 in Nova Scotia, 3172.70 in New Brunswick, d1,576.75 in Quebec and 31.- .435.35 in Ontario. These figures illustrate the disproportion, not only between us and the Central Provinces so far as these ex- penditures are concerned, but also between us and the other Maritime Provinces. Out representatives at Ottawa should take every opportunity of stressing the sig- nificance of these figures.

Sea llirds For Food

Action, notesrthewottawa Journal, has been started by Mr. Gordon Higgins, Pro- gressive Conservative member for St. John's East, to restore to Newfoundlanders 'their former rights to shoot edible sea- '-birds. Mr. Higgins has filed a resolution iii: the "Commons to remove the Prohibition imposed on the shooting not only of "turrs" ,..mors' commonly known in Canada as ;'"murres"-but also of ticklace, hown,

” V swam, (tern) and similar species in New-

dfoundldnd.

This resolution, it passed by Parlia- .ment, would require-an amendment to the Migratory Birds Convention Act, and Mr. ll-llggins is pressing for such an amend- 'ment to permit the people of Newfound-

, land to shoot these sea-birds for food. as , they were free to do before union with Tcanasa. . . ..

Tight-llopo Psrfornam

Health and Welfare Minister Martin's arguments for refusing Federal aid to education are characterized by the Globe and Mail as a masterpiece of ' tight-rope walking. In the House of Commons debate on this issue last week, Mr. Martin began by boasting that the Government was al- ready contributing about b35 million to various educational projects, and concluded by arguing that it was constitutionally im- possible for it to give money to the Prov- inces for that purpose.

"Mr. Martin's basic contention," says our Toronto contemporary, ”was that the Federal Government was unwilling to in- tervene, even indirectly, in what might be termed educational policy. He advanced the strange argument that assistance to- ward equalizing opportunity among Cana- dian children of every Province would be such an interference. Nobody, we believe, has seriously suggested that the Federal Government do anything which might pro- ject the question of Federal-Provincial re- lations on education into controversy. But the Federal Government has already, for many years past, taken the attitude that vocationalwducation should be given pract- ical encouragement, and has made funds available for the building of schools and extension of apprenticeship training. There has been an agreement on this question between the Federal Government and the Provinces for many years, and nobody re- gards it as an interference in education in the objectionable sense."

C IIEST X-RAY S

Sir.-In reply to "Interested" from Milton. whose letter to Fri- day's Guardian indicated that the T. B. League has been unable to x-ray crippled persons because they could not be x-rayed in I sitting position. we may state that this is not I fact and it is regretted that any such people may have been deterred from be- ing x-rayed because of this mis- information. It is quite feasible to x-ray a person sitting down and the only limitation is the ability of a crippled person to go to the x-ray centre and be assisted into the van.

The League qulle agrees with "Interested" that crippled citizens are equally entitled to the free x- ray and frequently are more in need of same than an otherwise apparently normal person. You may be assured that any person able to get to the mobile unit and sufficiently concerned to do so will receive an x-ray.

OTHERS ALSO INCONVENIENCED

Sir,-Many letters have been appearing in recent issues of your paper, written by residents of that narrow strip of land which lies between the lower reaches of the West River and South shore. com- prising perhaps three school dis- tricts. These letters. which seem an annual lament. bewail the ter- rible lnconvenlences which the in- habitants of these districts have to endure for a few weeks each Spring. when the Rocky Point ferry cannot cross, and the ice is no longer safe for traffic.

We people who live above the head of the West River. eighteen or twenty miles from Charlotte- town. pay our taxes just as regu- larly as these people do and we are not carried free on board boat t.he,lasf: four or five miles of our journey to Charlottetown. as the fesidents of the Rocky Point districts arc. And if we have to stay hcme for it short time each spring, we don't employ the extra leisure thus afforded us, in writing long. impassioned screcds bowslling our sad lot; and we still try not to hold any Government responsible for the disadvantages of our geographical situation.

REPLY TO MR. BROOKS

Sir.-I read with much con- sternation and amazement the diatribe of Mr. Brooks in the

House of Cormnons against cutting pulpwood for the U. S. He seems to have overlooked certain facts.

1. Is Canada or Great Britain doing anything to make possible bndly needed income for Island farmers whose potatoes pI'0dllCed nothing last Fall?

2. Where could Great Britain obtain the necessary dollars to buy at an equal market price novf being received from the United States?

3. The tknber which is being cut is from privately owned fsnn property that has been rotting away and eaten by termites in other years for lack of buyers, and owners know better than to cut their wood indiscriminately as Mr. Brooks accuses them of doing.

4. He should worry about the little impoverished people who have to live on with little or no income while he himself has no such nroblezm.

Really Sir. it is time politicians like Mr. Brooks stopped criticising American buyers until they can justify themselves with as good results. In other words "put up or

shut up." I am. Sir. etc. Fl.0R.ENCE

kooky Pomrl caucus '

In the early 20's. a body of the Island's leading citizens got to- gether and decided to form a Tour- isi. Association. Nothing of a con- crete natui-e.was done at the first meeting, but at the second, which I attended. it was definitely de- cided to proceed with the organ- izing of such an association. Of- ficers w.-re accordingly elected.

I was asked to accept the of- fice of president and agreed pro- vided that: 1st, the Association would open up an office; 2nd. the Association would appoint a man-

ager; and 3rd, the Association would recclve financial backing Those conditions were approved

and I became president. Mr. Relgh Tinney necame secretary and man- ager: Mr. S. A. McLeod. choir- mun of the financial committee: Mr. Hurry Brown, chairman of the entertslnment committee; and Mr. P. A. Clarkin, chairman of the transportation committee.

The late Mr. McLeod, as chair- man of the committee on finances, organized and conducted a drive for funds which brought the As- sociation about 51.000. An office was then secured with Relgh Tin- My as its manager and with the limited funds at our disposal we began our development. of the tourlst industry in the Province. Because of our limited capital. no could not dc-vote much to adver- tising.-But there were other seri- ous handicaps as well. The charge for bringing a motor car across the Strait on the car ferry was b4.00 or s8.00 for the return trip. Such rates were practically pro- hibitive to many tourists. Anoth- er hsndlcap was that all motor cars had to be loaded on flat cars to be taken on the car ferry and it was some time before the rail- way conceived the idea of build- ing ramps at Borden and Tormen- tlne so that the motor cars could Bo aboard the flat cars on their own power.

The dust nuisance on our un- paved roads was another serious dct rent. to our efforts to secure more tourists for the Province. in mnny cases. tourists came across to Borden and after experiencing in few miles of driving through thick clouds of dust. promptly turned lfI'DUIll'I and headed back for the mainland. But with the building of the modern car ferry "Charlottetown." and the con- structlon of paved roads from Charlottetown and Summerslde to Borden. the tourist business be- gun to increase. .

.

After remaining with tho As- sociation three years, Mr. Tinm-y resigned and was ccecded by Mrs. James M. Mcl-ladyen. She was a most. efficient manager and it is largely owing to her en- thusiasm and energy that the tour- ist business in this Province was placed on a sound and permanent bnsls. During the tourist months. Mrs. Moi-Iadysn stayed on the Job from early morning until late at night and. with only one assist- ant. did the work of three or four persons. It. was only nat- ural lhat the Government nshould sooner or later become interest- ed in our efforts to bring more tourists to the Province and it was iliboutl tilils time fhut it gave the

ssocs its firs subsidy of s2.soo.'fi.n1942. the following year, the Government voted 310,000 for the tourist bureau and B. Gra- hsm Rogers was nppolnled mun- ugsr. His successor. Brigadier W. W.

The first Pullman service to Prince Edward Island was the re- sult. of a luncheon given me in Montreal by my good friends, W. '1'. Weldon and H. H. Melanson. both high-ranking officbls of the C. N. R. At this luncheon I brought the matter of a Pullman service to the Province to the attention of those gentlemen. After listenlng to my arguments. Weldon said. "Well. the Judge has been a good friend of the C. N. R. What do you think, Henry?" Melonson replied. "I'm in favour of a Pull- man to Prince Edward Island so if you approve, we'll put it on." Next spring it went. on and has

been on ever since during the summer months. The tourist bureau was in lts

early years with Relgh Tlnncy us manager when Hurry Brown came to me one day and pl posed an advertising stunt that struck me favourably. His proposal was that We invite prominent railway of- flciuls and officers of other trans- portation companies to come and spend a week on the Island. I wrote Henry Melanson. who was the General Passenger Manager of the Canadian National Rail- ways. and asked him his opinion of the proposal. He enthusiastic- ally endorsed the scheme and I then wrote him again and asked him to send me a list of railway men who he thought should be invited.

The list was promptly sent and included the General Traffic Man- ager and the General Passenger Traffic Manager of the New York, New Haven. and Hartford Railway; the General Passenger Traffic Manager of the Boston and Maine Railway; the Traffic Manager and the Passenger Man- ager of the Bangor and Arlstook Railway: the Maritime Passenger Manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway at Saint John. N. B.; the Passenge M or of the Eastern Steamshlps Company: and several officers of the Canadian National Railways. including Mr. Henry Meianson and Mr. C. K. Howard to whom were afterwards added Mr. Weldon and Mr. Robertson of Moncton.

All those invited accepted the invitation and preparations who at once begun for their reception. Our committee was ably sinister! by the late W. K. Rogers and W. S. Grant. ,

The chances are that Tl-Coq will score a triumphal suc- cess on such a tour. It may even return to Broadway. or at least Fridolin himself may return there in future. to conquer that benighf.- ed uh-locry in the heart of Man- hsftan. As Mr. S.

All the invited xuesfs arrived. in due time. They came to Bar- den In their private cars and were met there by motor cars which took them to the Beach Grove Inn where s dinner was tendered them. A call was then mode at Government House and afterwards they were guests at. the View!!! Hotel overnight. The next day they were driven to Murray River with lunch at Montague on the way.

The weak spent at Murray NV" or by those officials was s most enjoyable one. The weather was perfect and the time was spent in swimming, boating. fishing. clum- baking. and deep-sea fishing. Those busy officials had a week of rest and relaxation such as perhaps they had never had before. One any at dinner. someone h ppened to mention the word "telephone." There were no telephones at the camp. The traffic manager of the New York, New Haven. and Hart- ford ssid, "Telephone! Telephone! It seems to me I've heard that word before. What is a tele- phone?"

When the eight days were up.

ws motored the hallway men to Summer-side where the people there had a lobster and oyster sup- per provided for them at the res- idence of the late Harry T.

It is impossible to estimate the amount of good which resulted from those eight can-free days spent by those men at Murray River;

The next year those same rail- road men met in saint John at a conference at which I was pre- sent. They had met to consider method: by which the Mcritimus could be helped by providing bet- ter and more modern transporti- tlcn. Both tbs Cl P. P. and the C. N.
