“The Strongest lilemory is Weaker Than tlie Weakest Ink.” For A Safe Holiday

With the szhocls now closcd for the an- nual mEd-sirnimcr holidays, ‘leaving thgugqn; of Island children free to enjoy the long vow. tiorvp-eriod, the sccison UISO brings its respoiigi. bilitics to parents who are called upon to do their part in t.'ie drive to rc-Juce the dangers of: a heavy death toll on the highways at this timc.l Various gsvzrnmsnt and safety bodies have is- sued pamphlzts on -the dangers inherent during the vccmion season but unfortunately the great majority of children have a tendency to ignore their contents.

At this time, the parents could do much h cut down the accident toll, which often con- vcrts the ordinarily happy summer season into, one of trrgcay, through teaching the following! simple l-csscns: |

- r i l g By emphasizing the fachthat motor, trot’- fi: rzaches its peak in the summer and early fall.

By advising children of the safest places to play in their neighborhood and discussing these places and their advantages.

By discussing safe, traffic-free routes when children plan jaiints and picnics. -

By instructing older children to look out for yatinger ones, guiding them on the streets and highways.

By warning young bicyclists of the dang- ers of "hitching on" to trucks and autabuses.

By informing the children of the proper way to move in trofficbn the highways.

Agricultural Salaries

Salary scales of professional agriculturists In Canada is the subject of an interesting analy- sis by the Agricultural Institute of Canada. The survey was prepared by the national committee of the Institute under the chairmanship of Mr. W. N. Keen and gives a wealth of statistical information. Here are some highlights of the report:

Salaries In professional agriculture were admittedly below those of other professions, which condition has prevailed for many years. Upward salary revisions, as recorded in the re- port, Indicate that such workers are still op- crating under a low standard of remuneration as compared with other professions in Govern- ment service and industry. For example, in the Dominion Government service, the report shows the following data as applying to profes- sional and technical employees receiving a salary of $4000 or more per onnum: Agricul- ture 4.8%,", Mines and Resources Zl.8%; Bur- eau’ of Statistics 26.9;% Notional Research

port, the committee repeats its charges that Nazis hold key jobs in the Allied zones.

In the United States, the indictment against the Communists IS on four counts:

"l. It slvows unswcning loyalty to the basic principles of Soviet foreign policy.

"Z. It has consistently refused to take sharp issue with the activities and policies of cither the Communist party, United States, or ith-e Soviet Union.

"3. It hos maintained iii decisive posts per- ‘DDS who have the confidence of the Communist press. "4. It has displayed consistent anti-Am- erican bios and “bro-Soviet bias, despite profes- sions, in generalities, of love for America."

lt is a strange condition that after a global war, ideology false to human liberty and the basic rights of man, still waxes strong. There seems

gno doubt that Germany has not been de-Nazi-

lied, and there is no doiibl of world Commun- ist activities, and a Fifth Column better organ- ized than the Nazis ever were, and more deadly.

Statistics compiled from tlienelcords of 10,-] 867 technical personnel,_both within and with- out the Government Service, as provided by the Bureau of Technical Personnel (I945) show thatl graduates in agriculture are offered salaries which are lower than any other professional‘ classification. As compared with mechanicall engineers, this ls 32% lower, and is l3% lower than the next lowest class.

In tho Dominion Department of Agriculture,‘ the average increase in salary, based on the old and new maximum is 229/6. Many employ- ees were at the maximum of their class and, therefore, immediate benefits were limited ac- cordingly. A period of three to four years must elapse before the full increases are received. For example, in one group the actual immedi- ate increase was only I396. 05 flqlllll" °'3°% increase in. cost of living during the some per-

Liberty At Stake

Not only in Germany itself, but in several other countries, is there a resurgence of Nazism. The International Committee for the Study of European Questions has come out with a strong exposure of tli-e Nazis. And while this is hap- pening abroad, a special committee in the Uni- rod States is exposing the Communist activity .now screened under the nuiiie of Southern Con- ference for Human Welfare.

The International Committee in London has prepared a document that has been submitted fr. III the AlEied governments in which the com- mittee lists by iicnie ci number of Nazis still holding key pests in-both the United States and British zones of Germany. i

It accuses the Swiss, Swedish, South African i and Argentine govcrrin-ients of laxity in dealing with Nazi assets and organizations in their own countries. i

It alleges that underground groups of the Fascist party exist in nearly the whole of ltolyi actively engaged in organizing the escape of farmer Axis collaborators apd that "this not» work has the support of a number of conver directly depending an Rome."

Tho lnterndtional Committee for the study. of International Questions includes a number ofl prominent Europeans. Among its British inem-, hm are Lord Vansittort, Lord Brobozon ahdi Viscount Elibank, as well as two Labor M. P.‘s,l Capt. Raymond Blackburn and Seymour Cocks. Edouard Herriot, former French Premier, hoods the list of French members. '

Their report is to be followed in a few weeks by a document on communism. The com- mitten declares that o "world-wide struggle be- twoon communism and anti-communism is taking placa today” and that in loco of this dangerous development "the United Notions appear pow- crises."

A mother of three children, the youngest only nine months old, was recently elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Britain-ant of the highest honours a scientist can achieve. She's Mrs. Dorothy Hodgkin who was a pioneer in the discovery of the chemical structure of Penicillin. Dorothy is one of the world ex- perts in X-rays. She took an accurate picture of the UH ngernent of the atoms in the Peni- cillin molecule. For a long time her discovery was kept sécrat because of the wartime seciirllY agreement between Britain and the United States, but now it has been made known, and Mrs. Hodgkin has her reward. This quiet womdlt in her mid-thirties has had on amazing career. While studying at Cambridge University l3 years ago, she started work on the compara- tively new science of X-Ray Crystallography under Professor Bernal, and among the discov- cries she made with X-royi.

MR. MCLURFS DRAFT

Sin-That breeze that. blows on Mr. McLure in the House of Commons ls something that has P E. Islanders worried. They look at one another ‘solemnly and say: “What wlll happen to us, if any- thing hap ens to Mr. McLure? He. ls our one voice crying ln the parliamentary wilderness. The Lazarus boys, Tom. Lester and Watson, lf not dead. are sleeping.“

Personally I do not take a very ivorrled view of that. draft. It may be Mr. McLure's source of jmwer to supply his mentnl and vocal energy. Perhaps there is a constant flow of stimulating ozone in that breeze. Our other repro- sentatives could well use some of it.

THE SNEEZE THAT SHOOK THE WORLD President: I call the 599th meet- ing of the Security Council to

order.

(Suddenly the delegate of the Soviet. Union sneezes and, raising his hand, ls recognized by the President of the Council.)

Soviet Union: A point; of per- sonal privilege, Mr, President.

President: Wlll the delegate state his point?

Soviet Union: I should like t0 request. the President to ask the

sergeantz-at-arms to close the transom over the east. entrance of the. Council chamber. I feel a cold draft. on my back.

President: If there ts no objec- tion, the request of the Soviet delegate wlll be granted. Are there any objections?

United States: My government has not. had adequate opportunity to give this unexpected request of the Soviet delegate the careful study it deserves. Accorrlinfily. I reizret. to say that. I am unable to agree to lt at. this time.

Naturnllv, my government has gvery desire to give this matter its sympathetic consideration and to accommodate itself. ll’ possible. to the views of the Soviet dele- gate. But, unfortunately, this particular request raises the grav- est ouestlons of principle and procedure.

For example, this Council can- not liznnre the fact that the re- quest to have the transom closed is strictly-and I emnhaslze strict- ly-nmllateral in nature. If we permit such unilateral actions. vhzit becomes of the United Na- tlnns? Esneclnllv the smaller ones?

Moreover. can we accent as fact that. the Soviet delegate feels a draft slmnly on the b sis of his wn statement that he does? I

vself feel no draft.

"Premier mrquharsori and Hoar. Benj. Rogers. Commissioner of Agriculture, have returned from Halifax and report favorably on the proposed establishment of a Maritime Agricultural and Horti- cultural College tn Nova Bcotia. The facts in conneculon with the proposed institution up as follows: Nova Scotti: La to purchase 300 acres of land and is to erect at her own expense a building cost- ing not less than $60,000. The Co-l- lege is to be fully equipped with all modern appliances for agricul- tural and horticultural purposes; and the running expenses will not he less than $10,000 per year. OZ llils amount the Province of Nov! Scotio pays $6.000 annually; New Brunswick $4.000 and Prince Ed- ward Island $1,000. Our people will have the privilege of sending as many boys as they choose . . . as many as either of the other Pro- vinces, and more lf they see fit. Beling a purely agricultural Pro- vince although small 1n area, we will likely haye just. as many young men to attend the institution u our sister provinces.

"The Agricultural Department in our o-wn Prince or! Wales College, ivhicli the Government intend to establish, would simply be a pro- paratory step. If the Legislature when it meets approves of the recommendation which will Likely be made by the Premier and Him. Mr. Rogers, we hope to see com- plete agricultural and horticultural courses instituted; a course begin- ning ln the College at Charlotte- town and ending in the institution ln Nova Scotla, and imparting tn those subjectes an education equal lo that to be obtained elsewhere in Canada."
