The contrast

The New Glasgow Evening News notes. that just about the time people up in Ot-

cates, unemployment was not the cause as it was in the thirties. It is, however, sig- nificant that by far the largest number came from Ontario. That. at least, suggests clearly enough that the urge to emigrate IS most prevalent among those resident in Central Canada.

tawa were becoming excited because fair- milcs-small ships of the navy-were act-; ually making use of the Rideau canal locks.l for no naval purpose, Premier Jones ofi Prince Edward Island was in Pictou asking! for a winter service between that harbour3 and his own Province. ;

"The latter would have no interest to the folks at Ottawa," says our New Glas-p gow contemporary. ”That Premier Jonesl was asking for some service he thinksi would benefit the Maritimes will not im- press them either. Popular conception around Ottawa is that the Maritimcrs are always asking for something or other and there isn't any sense catering to them ex- cept at election times.

"But let us look at this Rideau ca.na.l and that suggested ferry service.

"The canal was built away back at a time when there was danger of war with the United States; a sort of inland naval waterway for military reasons. Now, and for many years. it has been a tourist waterway and summer resort plaything. It hasn't any real national value. But it is carefully maintained at governmental ex- pense; pleasure boats use its facilities; and it is beautiful-no question about that.

"The ferry service would be a spud special; a drab, commercial venture calcul- ated to speed the flow of farm produce off the Island to mainland markets. It would benefit Prince Edward Island farmers by aiding trade.

"We have no idea of the comparable costs but we will bet the annual charges of keeping up the Rideau Canal would more than maintain a ferry service in win- ter months between Pictou and George- town-particularly if existing ships were used as they could be. But that does not mean the canal will be closed all of a sud- den and the money switched down this way; not at all. We doubt even if new money will be found to establish that val- uable service.

”If Premier Jones threatened to turn Tory something might be done; say a sur- vey made. But otherwise, no. The Island- ers have been asking for it these many years. as the other Islanders keep asking for a permanent Canso crossing-with little more success."

Emigration From Canada

Most people nowadays are prone to re- Eard Canada as the land of opportunity. The arrival of hundreds of thousands of "new Canadians” in this country since the end of World War II serves to confirm this impression. Yet despite our great industrial growth of the last few years, despite the opening of vast new territories to settle- ment and development. despite the oppor- lunities. twenty-six thousand persons have voluntarily chosen to leave Canada annually during the last two years.

Who are these Canadians who feel that the opportunities are greater elsewhere? Why have they left? Where have they gone? A recent survey conducted by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics provides for the first time at least a partial answer.

Among the men who have emigrated, skilled tradesmen, mechanics, repairmen. machinists and tool die makers account for the greatest number. Professional men, including doctors, engineers, teachers, art- ists and scientists come next. Women who have emigrated include clerical and profes- sional workers, more than ten per cent of whom were graduate nurses.

More than seventy per cent of the em- igrants came from the 20-64 age group. Ninety per cent of the men and sixty per cent of the women were gainfully employed until immediately prior to their departure. Thus. emigration from Canada is clearly accomplished at the expense of the most productive part of our population, both in terms of age groups and occupations-.

About seventy-six per cent of those emigrating went to the United -States. Six-

Iteen per cent found their way to the United Kingdom. The largest proportion of the emigrants came from Ontario. Emigra- tlol1.from the' Afaritime Provinces and Newfoundland accounted for only about seven per, cent of those leaving the country.

Canada can ill afford to lose so large a number of its most productive citizens. The explanation for their departure is not ens- ilv explained, for'u the DBS survey indi-

One of the principal benefits a trade fair brings is to the organizers, making them realize the benefits of co-operative effort together with individual initiative. His Honour the Governor did well to emphasize this in his opening address.

The present time, like early summer. is well chosen for street repair and hard sur- facing. Operations may be halted by the approach of winter but the work seems to have been undertaken before or after the heavy tourist influx.

Promises have been made to the electorate regarding this T0-Vdw-'I)' during the past eight years and the people i)?- lieved that they would be carried out. but an echo of resentment was registered at the Provincial election in April.

Sir, - I wish to say a few words "about a wonderful nurse. the late Mrs. Dr. C. H. Beer. nee Ina Gil- lan. R. N.. whose sad and untime- l;,' death occurred a few days ago.

Aftergraduating as in nurse at the New York Postgraduate Hos-' pital where I spent several weeks studying X-Ray Work in 1924. she went overseas with that great. or- ganization. the Canadian Red Cross. and guyc outstanding ser- vice to our wounded soldiers in the Flrsl.,World War. proving herself a. valuable member of our Red Cross overseas service.

After the war ended she came back to Charlottetown to continue that stood work both here and at St. Anne de Bellevue. Quebec. Ag she returned to our Island. glvl g that continued high quality of service in our Public Health De- partment and at our Provincial samtorlum.

Both in the Red (Irons and in llhe Public Health Department-she was one of my best friends and endeared herself to all by her gracious and lovable personality and her grant patience and good judgment.

EARLY RAIL FATALITY

What appears to have heen the first railway fatality in this Prov- ince occurred on Oct. 30. 1377. the victim being I. young brakeman, Thomas Cartmiil, about twenty years of age. The accident took place as the afternoon train to Summerslde was approaching Brad- albane station. Cartmill fell be- tween twe freight cars to the tracks, the remaining portion of the train passing over his body.

"It appeafs," says a contenu)or- ary newspaper account. "that the cars were about to be shunted. and poor Cartmill was running along the top of the train. so that time would not unnecessarily be lost in the. operation. The car from which he fell was. it is said, newly painted, and slippery. and it is supposed that he missed his footing in stepping to the car ncxt. it."

estimable value of a. good nurse's life work. I think I have learned that. lesson during my many years of close association with our won- derful Island nurses. In my memory and in deep gratitude from my heart I place all nurses on the highest pedes- tal because I fully aguireclate what; they are doing for suffering man- kind. either in a public or private capacity; and at the highest peak of that pedestal I place my dear departed friend, Ina. Beer. I extend my sincere sympathy to her sorrowlng husband and als- ter. I am. sir, et.c..

WOOD LOT CUTTING

Sir,-I think it is high time some of the wood lot. owners had: chance to say something for them- selves and express their view; on whether they should get I chance to make a living or not in this so called democracy. We hear they can tell you what trees you can cut, on your own property and how much.

There is one question I would like to ask. Do we own our woods or do they belong to the state? I Was under the impression when I enlisted in the last war that it was to save our country from such high handed methods of govern- ment legislation. as the new set. which dictates that I man cannot cut. any more than twenty oordrof his own pulp in one your or three hundred dollars worth, which is 3 pretty small amount of money for him to live on. Besides. in a good many cases, it is the only means the wood lot owner has of paying some of his debts. so why deprive him of the God-send that might save his home.

Most wood lot; that are being cut are dying anyway. Ind the young trees are growing faster than they are being.cul.. There is much talk about people leaving this province to leak 3 living else- where, but. who can blame them when they are restricted here from doing as they wish with their own. There are people fleeing from the dictator countries for the some muons.

Beating or Gums

(Truro Daily News)

While politicians and amateur empire builders continue to beat their gums about the need of a new ferry between Yarmouth and New England a larger ferry be- tween Saint John. N. B.. and Dig- by. N. S.. a canal through the Isthmus of Chlgnecto, dredging of Kcmptown Harbor. and other pipe dreams. matters that are renliy deserving of attention are going by the boards.

Take for instance the ferry ser- vice between Caribou. N. S. (near Pictou) and Wood Islands, P. E. I. Last Saturday afternoon there were 70 cars lined up waiting for passage across to the Island. Less than half that number could be conveniently carried on one trip. The rest had to wait an hour for the next boat.

Passenger and auto traffic across the Northumbcrland Strait on Northumberland Ferries Lim- ited's two ships has shown a steady increase. and the need for larger ships or more ships to carry the traffic offering is im- pcrative. Here is no pipe dream-the traffic is real. From the first of May in the end of August this year 55.674 passeng- ers and 14.479 autos were carried, an increase of 8,929 passengers and 1,121 autos compared with the same period last. year. 3.248 trucks were carried-13 less than last year. Truck traffic was ex- ceptionally heavy in August last year during the railway strike.

I all the arteries of commerce affecting Truro and Nova Scotla generally here is one which is in need of strengthening. Even an ice-breaker for winter service is worthy of serious thought.

If and when that big army camp becomes a reality in Dlgby- Annapolis Kings - Lunenburg Counties. most of the trade and commerce which the camp will provide will be funnelled into Halifax by the lines of least re- sistance-ihe railways and paved highways. If Truro and the Northern and Eastern parts of the province are going to enjoy any of the benefits of this "new industry" paving of the "missing link" on the Milford-Brooklyn highway will be necessary. and some improvement in train -ser- vice on the Dominion Atlantic Railway into Truro. The latter can be done at short notice. but the paving of the "missing link" requires some time in planning. The sooner this road is complet- ed the better.
