Island Odds And Ends
The Provincial Government's rural electrincatlon program will provide work for many Islanders. Not only must many miles of power lines be built along rural roads, but it will call,for the wir- ins of scores of homes and oub buildings. The plan will, at the same time, increase the sale od such things as refrigerators, elec- tric irons. washing m3,chi1)eg' toasters, radios, all of which have become almost standard equip. ment in Canadian homes of even modest means. Above all rural electrification will ltsks some of the drudgery out of farm work. . c .
An interesting development of ”the automobile age" is thg mo". ment. from city to country. More pronounced in Upper Canada than in this Island Province, neverthe- less the tendency has been no- ticed in Charlottetown. Here- abouts people are inclined to move outside the city limits it not act- ually to "the country". A three. way combination of improved highways, the wider use of auto- mobiles, and in the case of some cities, high taxation and rents, has caused the exodus. At any rate city people are going back to the open spaces and.flnding it good. I I
Of course the country nowadays has ri very definite city flavor. The new homes which are being put up a few miles from our cities where their owners work, have all the comforts and conveniences which a short time ago could be found only in large centres. Most of them are warm, bright well laid out, with modern kitch- ens. running water and modem heating facilities. Many have pic- ture windows from which one can enjoy the view almost as if out. side, without the disadvantages of being exposed to the weather. Yes. Deople are moving to the outskirts of cities and beyond in increasing numbers. By so doing they in l-HUME some of the city with them. The net result is bet- ter living for more people. . . .
An official admission that Sov-
Euilty of serious misbehaviour to- wards the civilian population was
other ranks issued by the Soviet Commander in Germany, General Gretchko, in January. He called for an improvement in discipline in view of ”the many serious at- tacks on German civilians, espec- ially women, in which without doubt members of the giorlouslvted Army have taken part." 0 O 0
Britain's industrial production has reached the highest figure ever recorded, according to provis- ionai estimates prepared by the Central Statistical Office. It is expected that the index for all industries for October last will show the figure 127-128, which when compared with the figure of 100 in 1948. is the highest figure recorded. It compares with 125 in September and 106 in August. Mr. Butler, Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, states that the agricul- ture industry has raised its pro- duction 152 per cent. of pre-war production. . 0

Strange But True
By P. ll. MacArthur
Did you know that our great neighbor to the south of us has a little known republic within the big republic which boasts its own president and cabinet officers?
Furthermore, the little republic enacts laws under its own consti- tution, has its own system of
ates schools and so on and what is still more amazing it mints and issues its own currency and sets up its own import duties.
The George Jr. Republic was founded 58 years ago for the pur- pose of aiding problem children. The 600 acres republic is a self- contained community located at Ereeviiie, N. Y. Last. year's enrol- ment was 120 boys and girls be- tween the ages of 13 and 19. since its founder William George went into the venture, the midget re- public has taught over6000 young-
Always there is a long waiting list and applications pour in from the United States and from all kinds of homes.
Members of the tiny republic differ but little from the adult world. A citizen's standard of liv- ing depends on his earnings. The better his grades the higher his pay. A top student can earn 830
is on the way, but so of course is the deadline for filing income tax returns. 0 I C If the Islanders and Atlaritics continue to win only their home games in the present hockey play- downs, the Halifax team will in- evitably be the winner. This will prove nothing more than that each team is superior on its home ice, not a very satisfactory con- clusion to a. long winter schedule. Too bad the ninth game of the series could not be played on neutral ice instead of in Halifax. It is possible of course that either team may yet win in their oppon- ents' rink and end the duel lic- fore s. ninth game is necessary. . . .
Charlottetown has I. half dozen or so fly fishermen who not only tie their own files but do quite a business filling orders from their friends. The emphasis this year seems to be on the large and freakish lures. The old and re- liabla "Parma Belle" and the "Montreal" seem to be giving place to streamers and bucktalls, to artificial shrimps and bugs, the latter of life-like size. Even spin- ners, never used much in this part of Canada seem to be gain-

"There are no really bad ones." said the executive director. "Only problem children who need a lit- tle kindness and the knowledge someone is interested in their fu- ture welfare,"
Proof that the republic puts this formula to effective use is shown by its alumni. Pupils include pro- fessionals, master craftsmcn. bak- ers and farmers.
A set up of this kind ought to work out most satkiacwriiy in our Maritime Provinces where we are faced with problem young- sters. It would be interesting to hear what some of our educators and legislators have to say about such I. plan.

Believe it or not, but the elec- tric chair was invented by s. lifer, Harry Glick. who died of a heart attack while serving a life sent- ence for murder.
It's the law in West Virginia that no one may cook cabbage or sauerkraut if his neighbors pro- test.
Switzerland makes the boast that she can raise an army of 100,000 able bodied men in 72 hours, because every able-bodied Swiss is s. trained. soldier who keeps a government issued weapon in his home ready for instant use.

when s. major forest fire occurs we look upon it as a great disaster which it is indeed. But how many of us remember that forests are the homes for all manners of an- imals and birds. The fate of these creatures in s. forest fire is dread- ful.
Then too, we should not lose sight of the fact that the good earth itself becomes the victim of a forest fire. The floor of the woods is s. complex thing. Roots of trees, plants, burrows of count- less tiny creatures and unseen hosts of microscopic organisms are essentially part of it, and their death leaves the soil barren and unproductive.
