The Late Mr. McLure

All-our citizens will motuin the death of Mr. W. Chester S. McLure, former member of Parliament for Queens, whose name was a household word throughout this Province and 'whose long career in public life, and in the fur industry, brought him into personal contact with so many of our people.

As a representative of our inter.-stsv at Ottawa, we have had few abler, moreI industrious or more conscientious spokes-I men since Confederation. His popularity! with all classes was indicated by his fre-' quent victories at the polls, even during; Liberal landslides which left him carryingI his party COIOUIKS alone. Mr. McLure nevvei” wavered in his political allegiance, never, shirked his duties as an Opposition crit.ic,I or failed to speak out vigorously for his constituents. But he lost no friends on that account. He was admired for it by his opponents who respected his convictions and esteemed him for his forthrightness.

Mr. McLure believed in keeping close to the grass-roots of his constituency. He was unfailing in his courtesy and diligent in responding to appeals for information or assistance in connection with his par- liamentary duties, devoting a great deal of his time freely to work of this kind. His zeal stemmed from a genuine in-' terest in the welfare of his fellow-citizens, and he accumulated during the years an encyclopaedic knowledge of their family affairs and personal problems. . ,

As an expert in the fur industry Mr. McLure enjoyed international prest.ige.I I-le travelled widely in this connection in earlier years, when. the fox industry was at its peak, and was regarded as a leading authority on the subject in Parliament as well as among those associated with him in the industry.

Over and above his activities in busi- ness and public life, Mr. McLure was ap-' preciated for his warm human q'.' 1 ies., It was his mot.to in public. as in ':f atei affairs. "I-f you can't. say anything good! about a person, don't say anything bad." His genial smile and hearty handshakes were proverbial. He had the happy faculty of making friends wherever he went, of. mixing freely with all classes, and of in? spiring general respect and confidence. Hel was particularly devoted to his home andI family, and enjoyed the felicities of familyi life and entertainment to the fullest ex-

tent. , To his widow and daughter The Guar-L dian joins in extendingsincere sympathyi

in their sad bereavement.

- Immortal Crusoe

Goatskin-clad Robinson Crusoe, a world hero long before Divy Crockett ever saw a coonskin, is soon to have ill statue erected in his honor in Hull. Eng-. land's third largest port. Citizens of thisi fast rebuilding city, hardest bombed of- any British center except London, claim that Alexander Selkirk, the real-life Crusoe, set sail from Hull on the voyage. that led to his lonely exile. 3

Most authorities grant that Sulkii-k'.: adventures fed Daniel Defoe the main plot for his classic. 'I'.vo ISI”1'”I'Ii. 'iow-

ever, still maintain that tl1e'i-.4 is t.'io Crusoe island. This confusion derives from the mobility of Defoe's mind. He

built his story aroiiri the ruzzrl T')'lF years and four months Selkirk spent on Mas a Tierra, 9. boomerang-shaped rock mass 400 miles off Valparaiso, Chile. But he dipped his pen into the Caribbean for the setting. The novel, published in 1719. describes Crusoe as a mariner "who lived Eight and Twenty Years. all alone in an uninhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River d Oroonoque." It also tells of Crusoe's sighting o near-by island. identi- fied as Trinidad. According to the Na- tional Geographic Society. Tobago must have been the fictionalized Crusoe Is- land. since Trinidad is the only island

”Cinque Ports". Quarreling with the

captain gladly set him down at Mas a

powder and bullets, a little tooicc . a hatchet, a Bible, knife. and ke tie. By feeding goatmeat to wild island ciits he soon tamedseveral hundred and thus kept hoards of rats at bay. Sometimes he danced with his cats and goats. Every day he sang psalms, read the Bible. and kindled a fire on a. lofty lookout point. In 1709 his signal was sighted. Two Eng- lish privateers rescued the "man clothed in goatskins who seemed as wild as the goats themselves." It took Selkirk two years to get home. He then married. But he deserted his wife and returned to his only love-the sea. He died at sea, a hero yet in his hometown, Largo, Scotland. His statue, goatskin and all. still stands there. I

Hull. in raising a statue to Czzisoe, honors Selkirk and Defoe, but mostly the. fictional character who, conquered pm- longed adversity. Crusoe thus joins such other greats as Peter Pan, whose statue graces London's Kensington Gardens; Hans Brinker in Spaarndain, Holland; Puck, at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington. D.C.; Hiawatha and Min- nehaha,.in Minneapolis; Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn in Hannibal, Mo.: and Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid vttio, keeps I faithful eye on Copenhagen'st harbor.

Extraordinary

A Republican Administration with a Democratic Congress-eor the other way roundeis no novelty in United States political affairs. Indeed, in an ”off" year it is so common that it can be regarded as the norm. What is extraordinary about the present situation is that the President, a Republican-at least in name ehas to depend on the Democrats for most of his legislative support. In fact. if the Republicans instead of the Demo- crats were in control of both Houses. Mr. Eisenlhower would scarcely have any op- portunity at all of getting his wisies translated into law.

The "Congressional Quarterly". :1 sort of semi-official organ of Congress. made all this quite clear in a recent issie. It says that in no less than thirty in- stances, the Democrats have saved ad- legislation from being scrapped by the Republicans. Oth- er figures show that Democratic support for the President is increasing, ivhile that of the Republicans is on the W11”. This year Democrats have allied themsel- ves with the President's foreign policy 69w of the t.ime, the Republicans 52'.'b. Another interesting fact is that William Knowland, Republican leader in the Sen- ate, is opposed to administration policy as often as he is for it. Senator Walter George,.Democratic leader. on the other hand, has supported it consistently.

Since the Democrats are in cntrol; of both houses. the President uu':.. findI their co-operation very pleasant. and val- uable indeed. The question is: iv'i':.t. will the Democrats find to talk about in next years Presidential election cainpaigu.I provided the President decides to run again? That presents a real probleii, and it will be interesting to see how Siialor George and his friends go about solvirrz it. Meanwhile, it is to their crrlit that they are puttng what they believe to be the national interest before the claims of partisan politics.

A Fine Young FeIIo

l Alberta's Vo

By Tom

In the 1952 Alberta provincial elections 30 ballot counters spent 36 hours counting the Edmonton vote.

For the new Alberto election June 29, proportional representa- tion again will be used for the multi-member seats of Edmonton and Calgary. Edmonton elects seven members; Calgary Iix.

Iuuoduced by a United Farm- ers' administration. proportional representation has been used for Edmonton and Calgary since the 1926 provincial glection.

The remaining 48 members of the 01-seat. legislature are elect- ed in individual constituencies using the single transferable bal- lot. also known as the alternative vote. UNIQUE IN CANADA .

Alberta in tin only province in Canada now using such a com- bination of voting systems. can lrasted to the simple ballot sys- tem used in other provinces and in federal elections, under which the candidates receiving the larg- est number of votes is elected.

Manitoba has just eliminated both proportional representation and the alternative vote. The Manitoba legislature at its most recent session split up multiple- member seats into single con- stituencies and adopted the straight vote -- the simple bal- lot system.

British Columbia is also back on the simple ballot, after using the alternative vote in the 1952 and 1953 provincial olections.

in Alberta's last election in 1952 there were 29 candidates for the seven Edmonton seats. com- bined in one constituency. In Calgary, 20 candidates contested six seats. The ballot counle s in Edmonton counted 52,000 ballots 26 times before the election was complete.

MINORITY SHARES

Advocates of proportional re presentation feel that any sub- stantial mluority should have I voice in government. They say that tinder the simple ballnt,sys- tent if the vote is fairly even it is possible for a party to captur- nearly all the seats with only I slim majority of the total votes,

When several seats are involv- ml for one constituency. propor- tional representation however can he a complicated process. The total numbe of valid votes are divided by a number exceeding by one the number of members to be elected, and the result, in- creased by one - disregnrdln any fractions - is the number 0 votes sufficient lo return I can- didale.

An Impressive

Monument

tchatham Daily News)

Near Ste. Anne do Bcllevue in Quebec on Lake Louis. I Widen- ing of the St. Lawrence. and a short distance west of Montreal, is a magnificent monument. when we speak of monument to commemorate our great men. We usually think of imposing obelisks or statues. which, commemorat- ing the dead. are themselves just an inanimate.

This monument at Ste. Anne de Bellevue, constructed of red sand- stone, is a living memorial. that, in its inception. was not meant to be a memorial at all. For it was built by the man it commemor- ates while he was still living. Macdouald College. at Ste. Anne de Bellevue, was built by Sir William Macdonald, a wealthy t L manufacturer, fifty years ago this month. It was, and still is consecrated to agriculture, and in the intervening half century had helped Canadian farmers to solve many of their basic pro- blems. and has brought Canada to a front place in tho agricultur- al world.

Among the new crop varieties developed there are Montcalm harley, Roxton oats. Dollard red clover, Diummoud and Milton timothy, Laurentiau swede turnip and Algonquin corn.

Since 1911, soil fertility tests involving crop rotation and fer- tilizer use have been conducted year by year.

Superior live-stock developed in the Macdonald College barns in

addition to improving the Can-

adian live-stock industry, has been shipped to the far corners of the earth for purposes of breed im- provemcnt.

Not content with their useful and far-reacliimz work in develop- ing better farm products. Mac- donald College experts have worked asslduousl, in devising more efficient marketing methods with consequent benefit to con- sumers and producers alike.
