Island Marksmen's Victory

The winning’ of the London Merchan '

by the Prince Edward lsland rifle team at tetra: ‘.15 an event of more than ordinary interest, we have no recollection of it having been won by }lslanders heretofore, and the reason is that the igreat Infantry and Rifle batt pike Victoria, B.C.; Calgary Md gnmnnrnn, Ar- gberta; Regina, Saskatchewan; Winnipeg, Mnm. ;t0ba; Hamilton and Toronto, Ont.; Montreal and {Quebec City, Que, not to mention those from Maritime centres, make the task an almost in- surmountable one. ' The Landon Merchants’ Cup is the most mog- aificent trophy awarded to any team in Canada and the glory of having the team's name inscrib- Ofl an its pedestal is great. So our lsland sons, Major A. l‘. Gormley, Capt. E R. Burke, Capt. A. J. McCabe, Capt. A. R. McCabe, Lieut. P. T. ‘Hooper, Sgt. G. A. Coies, Cpl. P. J. Landrigan, and Sgt. E. Coles will be deserving of a warm welcome from friends when they arrive home by plane from Ottawa tonight. .

Itigir Praise Indeed

. iviairy tributes have been received frcm the ‘Old Country with regard to the quality of Prince iEdward lsland potatoes shipped overseas last “spring. The mann-er in which these shipments were handled now comes in for high official com- mendation, in a letter from Hon. John Strachey, United Kingdom Minister of Food, which was released yesterday by the External Affairs De- partment at Ottawa. ' The letter, addressed to the Canadian High Commissioner in London, reads: "As you know, we bought about 70,000 tons of potatoes from Canada and the lost shipment arrived two or three weeks ago. l have been looking at the reports of this movement and they ‘make such excellent reading that I feel that l _must write and ask you to convey to your Gov- ernment our great appreciation of what has been doiie. Clearly the greatest care was exercised by the authorities in dressing, packing, transport ; and stowage, and an operation which we feared might be a difficult on»: was in fact trouble-free. 'lt really was a grand jab arid I would like to

"hayedone for us. lt has been of the greatest

value to us." ‘ _

Th-e principal credit for hgndling the island shipments goes to ‘the P. I. export Board which was set up for this specific vpurposenand which comprised Messrs. J. W. Bouirer, chairman; Col. G. E. Full, Charlottetown; L. H. Poole, Montague; P. Morris, Kinkora; Lorne MacFarlane, Summer- side; Leslie Simmons, Freetown, and lra Lewis, .Y0rk. Much credit is aiso due to the growers, l. potato inspectors and others who cooperated so ' effectively; also to MIZIJ. G. Taggart, chairman

of, the Agricultural Prices Supportbuflfd. ol- tawa, who was responsible for putting through the deal between th-e British authorities and

The danger of late blight in potatoes has been specially emphasized by our government plant pathologists, who point out that while there is no immediate danger 0f a serious outbreak of this disease, a number of fields, particularly in ‘Queen's, have been found infested.

_ Most serious menace of all at the present time is that of fire. Brush fires can do tremend- ous damage, as is indicated by the devastating fires rrow raging in North Cape Breton. Rarely, even in ‘H115 Province, do we escape a dry sum- mer period without incurring serious fire losses, and in many cases those fires have been due to carelessness. lt is obviously the duty of every citizen to be particularly careful with matches and other cambustibles at this season.

Our through highways are being dotted with signs, "Built-Up Area." If the planning boards do not take action soon we will be saddled with expensive, inconvenient and un- sightly ribbon development on all the roads. lsland roads, this week, resemble the refu- gee cluttered highways of an invaded land. Fortunately the invaders are friendly and there are no aircraft strofiirg wayfarers.

According to Cograin Arundel of the S.S. Essex Trader, the Churchill shipping route is more easily navigated than w the St. Lawrence. He contends that the cross currents of the lat- ter make it more difficult to negotiate. He had used a pilot for only the last half-mile into Churchill.

It will be all over at the Exhibition today- , including the shouting. lt nas been a week ofi brilliant sunshine and success for all concerned.‘ The new Directors have every reason to pat themselves on the back for their initiative, ent- erprise and administration.

Sometime ago the administration in Brit- ish occupied Germany granted the petition to farmers there to abolish daylight saving time. Now in response to the National Farmers Un- ion of Scotland, Prime Minister Attlee has in- timated that when the present period of Summer "lime in Britain expires, legislation for extend- ing the period is not in contemplation.

Now there is going to be a political light, East vs. West for the Federal Fisheries part- felio. Should we lose this opportunity, it would indicate that the Prime Minister has forgotten, if he ever remembered, his indebtedness to
