Farmers’ Meetings
The annual meeting of the Prince Ed- ward Island Dairymens Association, which opens the Farmers‘ Week meetings today, will be followed tomorrow by the annual meeting of the Prince Edward island IPcd- oration of Agriculttlre, and on 'l‘htlrsday by an organizational meeting of the King's County Federation, followed by a Provincial Federation directors‘ meeting. These meet- ings wcre preceded lust wcek by the Junior Farmers‘ lczldersliip short course at Si. Dunslnirs l'nivcrsit_v, which cre- ated much intcrc 1t and [irovcd very successful. Ncxt neck zniotilci" important series of meetings oi Federal and Provin- cial agricultural officials will be held at the Dominion Experimental Farm. and in March the remaining series oi farmers‘ organiza- tion meetings lire to be called. Meanwhile, thnough an lll‘l“<lll§lt‘lll(‘lll by the Provincial Department of Agriculture. twenty-one of our leading farmers and cattle breeders are attending a five-day course in livestock breeding at the Graham Scientific Breed- ing School at Newark. New Jersey.
These meetings are evidences of the im- portant place which agrictllttlre occupies in our Island earononrv, as well as the increas- ing emphasis which is being placed on scientific methods in farm management and production. The academic and practical phases of the industry are now regarded as inseparable. and no farm producer can neglect one at the expense of the other and keep abreast of the times. Our Island farmers have been in the forefront in this respect, and an excellent start is being made this year to grapple with present and lfuture problems in the industry.

Canada At Golomilo
The conference at Colombo, where the newest Asian member of the Commonwealth will be host to the foreign ministers of sev- en other members, is evidently of far great- er significance to Canada than most Cana- dians have realized, says the Ottawa Citi- zen. It may mark an extension of our for- sign policy, with Canada being drawn in- evitably as a growing power and a senior member of the Commonwealth into the pro- blems of an area in which our interest has been detached or negative in the past. At the very least, it will be the beginning of new associations and responsibilities in the Indian Ocean and ip the Far East.
In the background of the Colombo con- ference lies a landscape of change, where forces of race conflicts, of nationalisms, and of economic readjustment are creating a new balance of politics. An era of colonial- ism has ended in Asia. and a new era of self-determination has begun. The future of the world may depend on the stability of IXsia. for the conflicts of world politics are focusing upon that continent. ll‘ the new era unfolds within a framework of interna- tional co-operation, so much the better for all. The problem is to establish the prin- ciples of such co-operation. and that is the problem that awaits the delegates at Col- ombo.
MTnoTrIty Provincial Rights
A highly interesting analysis of the problems facing the Dominion-Provincial Conference on constitutional changes at Ot- tawa this week appears in the current issue of the Financial Post. Its author is Profes- sor Donald C. Rowat, of the Department of Political Science, University of British Columbia, and a specialist on the subject.
Professor Rowat does not hold with the “compact” theory of Confederation, but he distinguishes very clearly between the dif- ferent kinds of amendments to the B. N. A. Act which the conference may be called upon to consider. These he divides into three different types.
One deals with the organization and structure of the Provincial Governments; an- other sets up the machinery of government at the Federal level, and a third divides the power of government between the Cen- tral and Provincial bodies and deals with matters of direct concern to both levels.
“As to the first of these,” Professor Rowat says, “there has been no difficulty; from the very beginning the Provinces were given the power to amend their own con- stitutions (in Section 92 of the Act) and have used this power many timesi The sec- and, however, presents more problems. No doubt many aspects of governmental ma- chinery at the Federal level are of purely Federal concern and in the interests of flexi- Nilt? l?! made alter-able by the Fed- cnl Pfllififih! acting alone. On the other Important aspects of the ma-
nattire of Canadian government in its pro- tection of the interests and rights of min-i ority Provinces and regions. Such things are the representatiom of regions in the Senate and the special pvvlsions protecting Prince Edward Island's representation in the House of Commons. If the Federal nature of our governmental system is to be preserv- ed, the argument that theQ interests would be equally well protected by the representa- tives of the regions in the Federal House of Commons does not hold \vater, because of the predominance of members from Ontario and Quebec."
Here we have the problem in a nutshell, and the reason why we should insist that no changes affecting minority rights of any kind should be made without consent of the Province concerned.
Automobile License Plates
The appearance on the streets of cars bearing 1950 license plates has a certain' charm and there is always interest in the
new colour scheme selected. That is prob-' ably the sum total of the advantages of an-I nually replaceable plates. The cost of buy-l ing these markers every year is not insigni-i ficant but even greater is the loss in posl-| tive identification of motor vehicles, because, of easily replaceable plates. If permanent‘ markers were used they could be securely:

Saskatchewan's famous — and unusual — educational institution has been remembered in the will of the famous author, Rex Beach. Back in 1936 Mr. Beach spent a week at. the Notre Dame College gathering material for u magazine feature. With most. educational in- stitutlons. he would have written his article and that. would have been that. But not. so with Sas- katchewan's Notre Dome. The college that. boasts the moot. unl- que collection of obsolete cook cars and shacks in the world, and feeds and educates its students for $30 a month. whether they can pay it or not, is not easily forgotten.

Some years ago as h pre-elec-i tion promise, we were guaranteed a railroad to pass through this section, and on the strength of this promise quite u few life long Liberals changed their politics. and what did they get? - a paved highway on the north side where they already had a. railway, said road crossing the railway in quite s. few places. Later. under one present administration. our road on this side was widened, straight- ened and supposedly prepared for paving. That. was three years ago and nothing further accomplish- ed, and the road, now in a. sad state of deterioration and in most places impassable. Bus drivers re- fuse to travel it at. all. while even taxi drivers from Charlottetown are unwilling to come out. when they find the destination to he any of the above mentioned places.
We an situated ten and tiwelve miles from a. railway station. Brad- allaahe and Wlltshlro being equal distances, and some districts are even more remote. It is useless to think of reaching these stations at. some seasons. In dire emergencies we can always rely on Paul's Fly- ing Service, we presume. and that. at: least. ls n consolation.
One can travel from Tignish to Elmira by paved road. but. in our localities we are surely victims of
discrimination. but spring people found it. his-host. impossible to roach Ohu-lottewwn. and those Who did and were owners of good curs, utter being hauled out. of muck holes by Government tinc- tou or otherwise, found them- selves or the cars rather much the worse for the abuse they cam! through.
