A Red Letter Day

All Prince Edward Island, seemingly, partici- pated in the etithtisizistic demonstration yester- day, inxrlvzng lite ceremonial arrival of the Vic- tory 'I\trcli and the lust lap in the War Loan Ctllllpliijgll. Xotwiihsiltntling the rainstorm in the morning, the wtntthed clt-zirctl satisfactorily for \Vll;ll wis pz-oi ;tl>l_v tlic biggest parade ever seen in tlic Province.

The Sl)CCClllllill{lllg at the Exhibition grounds wzts coinmt-ii<lably brief and to the point, lertviitq :tm;ilt- time for the other pro- grxnttine ftatiinc-s which concluded with the sol- emn dedic ‘on of the Torch, and the National Anthem, followed by aniarch around the

trnck of all the parading units,

Of special interest was the announcement by Premier Cillllllllﬂii illlflllg the ceremony that the Provincial tiuotzt of $i.5oo,o00 for the War Loan had been rczichetl and passedr-thus placing Prince Frhvard Island in the lead of all Can- ada, as it already’ lends in the number of en- listmcnts per capim for the service forces.

_Vicliy Representative

l s.

"i-i" s:

There have been many indications at Ottawa during the week, says the Monetary Times, that the l)Oll"iifliii>fi Cabinet must soon deal with the problem of the cotttititiance of recognition to M. Risielhticbcr, diplomatic representative of the \'ichy Liovcrttnient to Canada. For some time now there have been suspicions that the Vichy hlinistry has been covertly providing facilities iii the North .\ frican colonies of France for the conveyance of reinforcements of men and ma- terial to the armies of the axis powers in Libya. All dotibts on this question sccm to have been removed hy the recent conferences between Ad- mﬁ-al Dnrlnn and I-litlcr’s emissary, Herr Abetz. The possibility of a state of war between the British Commonwealth and the Vichy Govern- ment must now he faced at Ottawa, and there arc scmi-rintlioritative reports that Ministers are becoming alive to the imminencc of such a contingency and the serious decisions that must soon be taken. Of course, if Britain finds it necessary to declare war upon Vichy it will be impossible for the King Government to continue recognition of the Vichy representative.

. Air Cadet Training

Air-minded Canadian youths have deluged national headquarters of the Air Cadet League of Canada at Ottawa with requests for informa- tion on the new organization for ‘boys between the ages of I2 and 18 eager to obtain preliminary training for an aviation career. _ _

The estimate of 25,000 air cadets in units throughout Canada, expressed by President George B. Foster, K.C., D.F.C-, of ‘Montreal, appears to be highly conservative in light of the manner in which the youth of Canada has re- sponded. Holidays are fast approaching, but the foundation has been laid, and much prepara- tory work will be done before the new cadets return to school in the Fall. _ '

In clearing the way for establishment of air cadet units across Canada, the following sug- gcstions have been offered for groups desiring affiliation: _

The members of the National Board of Di- rectors have returned to their various provinces in order to set up Provincial Committees and, therefore, there will be a little further time re- quired before they are ready to function. At the proper time stiitable publicity will be given re- garding the personnel of these Provincial Com-

w-nittecs. All applications to form the affiliate

Units with the League will be sent t0 Ottawa Headquarters through the medium of the Prov- incial Committees.

Each Unit will be administered by a Local Committee. Applications to form a Unit of the Air Cadets of Canada must be forwarded on the prescribed forms through the Provincial Com- mittec to the Honorary Secretary, r22 Welling- ton Street, Ottawa, Ontario.

Applications must state: The proposed name of the Unit. The names, addresses and occupa- tions of the persons comprising the Local Com- mittee. That the Unit be self-supporting, speci- fying the soitrccs of its revenue. That an annual certified stitemcnt of receipts and expenditures of tho Unit will lic sent to The Air Cadet League of Canada. 'l‘l1.'it the I'nit will comply with Rub-q Rctyiilzttions rind Orders as issued bv 1h"- .’\ir (Yiilvt lmngtio of Canada. That the Unit will nt tin time nledrri- or attempt to pledge the

Attention is drawn to the fact that boys wish- ing to be air cadets do not join through the Lea- gue's Ottawa Headquarters. They should watch their local situation and join the unit in their dis- tricts when it is formed It is found that likely sources of support for units throughout Canada are Service Clubs, School Boards, Boards of Trade, and other groups of public-minded citi- zcns.

\Vhen the Victory Loan campaign of I916 ended, the number of applications has reached 1,104,107 and the aggregate subscription had totalled $695,389,277. This amount was far above the objective. A year later, with the num- ber of applications reduced to 830,602, a. sum nearly as great was raised —$682,o32,2r 5, and | it is quite obvious that with anything like an equal number of. subscribers now it will be pos- sible to raise a very much larger sum than the Government is seeking.

"The tuberculin test can be the small spark igniting the flame which can and will com- pletely eradicate tuberculosis from this country and ‘from every country ivilling to make the ef- hﬂ.’ D1’. Fred Shippam, of the staff of the Montreal Child Welfare Association and the Children's Memorial Hospital, declared. Dr. Shippam described how the filtrate, or tuber- culin-testing substance was derived, and how it was injected or applied to the skin. A positive reaction to the test is always shown if the in- dividual tested has tuberculosis, but a positive re- action docs not always mean the person has tub- erculosis, said the speaker. If a person is found with a positive reaction, someone in the im- mediate surroundings has tuberculosis. Testing those others, the case is found, and by proper treatment his life and many others may be saved by proper hospitalization- “When sufficient sanitoria are provided for all cases irrespective of ability to pay, and compulsory segregation of active cases carried out, protection of the general public against tubirculosi: will be efficient."

Using a novel method to illustrate his ser- mon on an all-out effort to win this war, Capt. Fred Williams, Protestant chaplain of Jeanne Mance Camp and ordinarily chaplain of Farn- ham Training Centre, formerly of Malpeque, conducted Sunday church service at the camp. He told his listeners that half measures would not do, we must go all-out or nothing. During the course of his sermon he called a corporal from the ranks and gave him a dollar bill. The corporal was told to go to the mess and buy too cigarettes for the men. Before the corporal could leave, Capt. \Villiams halted him. . “just a min- ute," he said, “there is a war on so perhaps we should economize." Thercupon he took back the dollar, tore it in half and returned one half to the corporal. “Go and get only 50 cigarettes," he said. The N.C.O., flabbergasted, replied: ...‘.'Sorry, sir, they won't accept this half-dollar

Step by step, the government of Canada has penetrated into con- trot of the country's economic life to a point. where almost. nothing is allowed to occur that, has not first received the government's sanction. Yet today the people are confused; heir m is uncertain. With a framework of wartime legislation set up giving the government the wfdes possible powers, that gov- ernment. has, as yet failed to utilize these facilities.

We have seen no evidence that Mr. Thorson ls not l. whole- hearted supporter of the PINE!" war. but we also cannot banish from memory the recollection that: ln the days when the stage was being bet for the present struggle he was one of the most. ardent. Parlliunentsry exponents of the ls- ointiortist creed, whose vogue pre- vented Oanada from having any effective say in the foreign policy of the Commonwealth, and that in the session of 1937 he was one of the few Engllsh-speaklri members who opposed the modes program of rearmament proposed by the King Government. 1f he ever finds himself conceiving the notion that his Judgment is infallible, he should reread the Hansard report o1 the speech which he delivered in February of that. year ln which he said, among other hlngs: "My stand (against the nearmament program) Ls one of warning protest against n. policy which 1 believe at the present time 1s unnecessary, and 1n the future may be fraught with serious danger to the welfare of Canada and the Canadian people.” Mr. Thorson has also been an advocate of the abolition of appeals to the ‘Privy Council, and ITC can fairly be ranked as a member of the extreme nationalist school of thought. However, what matters today is his capacity as an admin- istrator, and, while we have grave reservations about the soundness of his views, his abilities as a Par- liamentarian are proved.

The Story Of “Lobby Lobster”

There's something about we ls- lmderl that gets you people, and of course there is something about you people that gets us. What got me about you, was the way you put those oval shaped cages of wood, or pot-s its you call them, down with tasty little tit-bit; inside. I fell you I Just had to go inside and have n. look. I mean atzste. All 0on- trary m my mother I'll admit, who said, "1 never should. 3o and taste the tit-bits 1n the wood," If I did she would any, “Ibex-e goes wbnle i the fisherman’; way".
