BUSY WORK 1

Shades of the Old Dominie whose word was law, will nothing in Ed- ucation go unchallenged, not even such time-honored class-room prac- tices as Homework---or Busy- Work!

Busy-Work! Some of those class- room dictators of long ago had a grhn sense of humor--the dunce- csp. the punishment of sitting on the edge of nothing in front of the class-o-and coining the double word Busy-Work. Can anyone work with- out being busy? Can anyone be busy without working? Yes, said this school-master, Pupils can!

And as a one-time teacher-and an ex-pupil, I am here to confirm this. Tasks assigned to pupils while the teacher's attention is else- where--Busy Work. in short, can result in busy-ness without work, and work without busyness! Dur- ing my early teaching career when a sudden demand came from the office for age reports. or L0. re- ports. or attendance reports, I hast- ily assigned Busy Work: "Write

Isolated Along Coastline -

Smallwood Would Scrap 1,000 Nfld Communities

By GERALD FREEMAN Canadian Press Staff Writer ST. JOHNS. Nfldp (CP)-Pre-

micr Smallwood suggested Tues- day that 1.000 of the 1,300 Com- jnunities scattered along New- foundiand's 6.000-mils coastline be scrapped.

Opening a conference on south- ern Newfoundland affairs, he told a crowd of 200, including delegates from all walks of life and govern- rncnt representatives, that p1'llVlliCe'S 400,000 people are "ter- ribly. terribly scattered."

He said people began leaving Jar-ge communities and founding .ncw settlements 200 years ago. and continued the trend for 150 years.

"in those days our Newfound- land pcople dldnit fly very high in ihcir ideas and ambitions. They collld settle down in a shack in a

lace with no trees and poor drink- mg water and by hard work make a living catching codfish. '

"Today they're not willing to do it” He said if the population was rt-settled in 300 large communities "thcy could have conveniences- elct-tric lights, paved streets, more schools, doctors, hospitals, nurses. liner churches and church halls. They could have the many advan- izlgcs they should have."

"IS "DEADENING” THING

"Isolation is a deadening thing. a paralyzing thing, a cruel thing," he shouted. "Man is a social crea- ture. He must mix with his fellow men or he is not fully alive. Men are never at their best when they live in isolation. We ache for the companionship, the society, the friendship of other men."

Mr. Smallwood said the Labra- dor conference held in February, pattern for the present conference. was "an eye opener," in new tech nique of government made neces- sary by Newfoundland's scattered population.

"If you can't carry the govern- ment out to the people the next best thing is to bring the people to the government."

He said the south coast had tim- ber resources at Fortune bay. fluorspar mining on the Burin pen- insula. and s 500.000 hydro-electric pgggntial revealed recently by a

.000 survey.

Except for that. he said. "it's true there's nothing but fish. If men can't make a living from fish they pan't make a living."

He said the crying need of the fishery is "energetic, ambitious fish merchants." The best solution was co-operative societies to mar- ket fish. but unless membe were well trained a co-op became "a miserable. wretched thing." LENDS 10 MILLION

He said the government had made loans of 810,000,000 to fish merchants, the second best bet,

but there weren't nearly enough.

At present, energies of former great fish merchants were ab- sorbed selling "canned goods. waf-

fle irons and television sets." Fish la . tcnded. Widely known and respect-

was "just a sideline" to them.

Now, he said, "the smell of cod is sickening and disgusting" to cultivated people in St. John's.

The conference has drawn fish- ermen, doctors, merchants, skip- permen, clergymen, nurses, may- ors, businessmen and welfare of- ficers from communities along the south coast, including Ramea is- land. Channel, Lawn, Fortune. Harbor Breton and Woody Island.

John R. Baldwin. federal deputy minister of transport. headed a 16- man delegation of top t. 3 officials from Ottawa who arrived in St. John's Monday to attend. Top executives represented the Bowaters and Anglo-Newfoundland Development Compan y paper mills, the Dominion-Wabans iron mine on Bell island. the Unem- ployment Insurance Commission, the Newfoundland region of Cans- dlan National Railways and Cana- dian National Telegraphs. and the post office.

"Seldom before in Newfound- land have so many distinguished people been called together," Mr. Smallwood said. "I wonder if people appreciate the historic na- ure of this conference.”

it went into closed session after

his address and will continue until Friday.

grounds. It now is expected that the llext federal general election will be fought in 1957.

The budget. which will cover the fiscal year starting April 1, will be the second presented by Mr. Harris since he was appointed fi- nance minister in July. 1954. ECONOMY SURPRIUES

In his last budget. Mr. Harris knocked off sl-18,000,000 in taxes and forecast a 1955& t t y deficit of 3l60.000.000. However. the economy has outpaced all the gov- ernment's expectations and the ac- tual deflclt may be less than S1f8.000.00Q-perhaps virtually non- existent.

Mr. lIarrls' deficit forecast was based on a 1955 gross national

product-value of all goods and services produced-of 325.250.000.- tlltglga a rise of 31.000.000.000 from

However. the gross national prod- uct made a spectacular advance of 32.500.001.000 to a record high of 826.600.000.000. The finance min- ister said he could balance his dbazks with a figure of 828,000,000.-

Except for the fact tax collec- tions tend to lag behind economic

pansion. Mr. Harris would be expected to have a small surplus for 1955-50. There may be a small deficit.

They seemed so busy. the dears. and working too. But they knew from experience that teacher would never check up all papers. Once in a while,'I took them home and looked them over. They gave me a much needed laugh, anyway! Take the word, "trouble". Surely a troublesome word and much drilled. Well, the good spellers us- ually copled it (the spelling list- printed-lvas in front of the pupils) all right. the first time, then re- laxed "Truble" it came out the second time, and the third time the letters trailed off into nothing at all!
