Wisdom Prevails

The railway contract dispute is not settled but the means of settling it have been agreed upon. The representatives of 145,000 non-operating employees and the railway heads are, perhaps, almost as far apart as ever on what they would consider a just settlement on the question of fringe! benefits but they have agreed to submit, their differences to government abritration.

The decision will be greeted with relief from coast to coast and not least by the raiiwaymen themselves. Nobody gains by a strike, except perhaps business rivals, and the fruits of wise labour diplomacy arc sweeter than those of industrial strife

which bears much the same relation to lab- our relations as war does to diplomacy. The power to wage war is one of the tradi-I tional prerogatives of sovereignty as the right to. strike is a cherished power of lab- our. Both, however, represent a failure of normal relations.

Prime Minister St. Laurent is to be com-I mended on his successful intervention ini the dispute. A less vigorous Prime Minister might well have permitted the situation to drift into deadlock from which a strike might seem to be the only escape. The lab- our leaders also might easily have lost their heads and forgotten their objective off bettering the lot of the members of thei brotherhoods in their enthusiasm for the- fray. That they did not indicates that they understand the art of industrial diplomacy and have the ability to practice it.

Protecting The Lobster

The way of lobster poachers and those, taking short lobsters is going to be harder, according to a recent announcement from the Department of Fisheries. The Coastal Fisheries Protection Act, 1953, is to be im- plemented immediately. Penalties are pro- vided for the master of a fishing vessel entering territorial waterssillegaliy; failing to heed the signal ”K" (heave to) from craft wearing the Canadian Blue Ensign;. jettisoning or destroying anything after such a signal; or refusing to reply to or

obey a Protection Officer.

Fishermen who see a patrol vessel ap-I proaching and either flying the square flagl with yellow to the hoist and blue to the, fly or emitting long-short-long signals will be wise to ”come quietly."

Those who have nothing to conceal will be helping to add to their own incomes by saving the time of the patrol by thus per- .mitting a better job of protecting the in- dustry to be done. Wrongdoers will find

310,000 and one year's imprisonment, desirable not to multiply offences. ;

The wholc point is, of course, that the? protection is for the. benefit of the fisher- men themselves. Thcy rely on lobsters for their livelihood. Poachers and those tak-I ing berried or undersized lobsters arei robbing the honest fishermen. l

They are? also robbing themselves if they propose to continue in the fishing industry. The fish- ery patrol vesscls are the fishermen's own device for keeping the industry prosperous and should be treated as such.

causes. Gustave Kraus, who came to the valley from Chicago in 1934, is monarch of all he surveys in the sense that he is the only white man in the region. He gets along well with the Indians, he says, and what's more, he's never coming out. Not much longer, however, will Mr. Kraus be only representative of white civilization in

Headless Valley. Now that the clouds of

fear which have hung over its reputation for so many years have been removed, tourists will flock in to the area from all sides. And some enterprising fellow-per-

haps Mr. Kraus himself-will be able to do its

a good business selling souvenirs of

A Teacher Speaks

Toronto is a long way from Hong Kong, '

the home of Prof. K. E. Priestly, and it is understandable that the professor might un-

burden himself more candidly than perhaps-;

is his wont. At any rate he must have

caused some eyebrow raising even at anif

international congress of mental health

when he suggested that parents might do: M better to play with their children in their 5

back yards than attend lectures and inter- fere with the work of the schools.

We are accustomed to admire the com- munity spirit and energy of the people who take an interest in education as exempli- fied in the local school. It is frequently possible merely by looking at it from the outside to gauge the extent of the interest shown by parents. Teachers welcome the

opportunity of getting to know the parents I

of their charges at Home and School and other meetings. The exchange of views and information is apparently useful and welcome on both sides.

Yet, here is a teacher who, when on the opposite side of the world to his students and their parents, sounds off to the effect that too much adult activity in the educa- tional field can prejudice the work of the schools. How long has he been harbour- ing these thoughts? Did he secretly think as the new library of classical phonographic records was presented that it would be bet-

ter if the parents paid more attention to, their children's musical experience at home? , There are many possibilities, and theyi

open up the question of what our own

teachers would say about parents' partic-,

ipation were they voicing their views in Hong Kong.

mystery. Great have been the tales told about it-of hot springs with tropical growth, of weird rites performed by Indian tribes, of unexplained and sudden death to white intruders. Now, most of the mystery has been unveiled by a party of geologists, surveyors, sociologists, and other special- lots, from Edmonton. They report that, 51. though the tales have been much exag- gerated, there is a great deal of wonder to be observed in Headless Valley. Said one of the group: "It's a dream world, majestic and enthralling." The valley, 200 miles long, is extremely fertile. Potatoes, planted in the fall, come to bloom with the first sign of sprlng;. vegetables of every description grow rapidly and to enormous size: there is plenty of game, and fishing in good the year round.

and P. I L SUBMERC-ED FOREST

"At the extremity of Gallows Point, which is a small peninsula between Pownall Bay and Orwell Bay, and opposite a low tract. of peaty ground, there is a submerged forest. Upwards of three acres are occupied by slumps and roots of the spruce, fir, and hemlock, which are covered by every tide, being from four to eight feet below high water mark. It is certain that these trees grew upon the spot where they are now seen, as their roots and the soil that nnurished them are all present; their trunks have been broken clown by the ice, and at low water t'..e tract resembles the clearing of the new settler.

”In this instance the barrier of a neat swamp might have been broken by tho occan - the soil drained, and consequently rendered more compact so as to fall beneath the common sea level, or there might have been a land slip, by which the trees growing upon the bog were moved with the general

But from a variety of facts, it is more probabl that there has been a submergenc of the land itself, of which there are proofs in dif- ferent parts of the Island."

Prairie Lobster:

Edmonton Journal

The officials who run the Fed- eral Government's enthusiastic and costly information services seem to be curiously ignorant of Canadian geography, and particularly of the distance of certain localities from the brlny deep.

This is the only explanation we can offer why the Journal-l:n common. presumably, with all other Prairie newspapers - has Just received a, bulletin from the Department. of Fisheries, setting out. detailed new regulations for lobster fishing.

If any of our readers are on- gaged in catching lobsters in the North Saskatchewan, we must warn them that the department will be very, very irked if they use trap: "which do not have a con- tinuous and unobstructed space measuring at least one and five-eight: inches between the two undermost. laths on each side of the trap."

Year: after typhoid fever has been all but stamped out in the more advanced parts of the world, Michigan scientists have discover- ed what is claimed to be a cure for the disease. If the new anti- biotic justifies the claims which are made for it, it will be a boon to those large areas of the world where typhoid fever in still a real threat to human life. If it can be produced cheaply and in large quantities, the new cure could pro- vide another healthful link between the scientific advance of the West and the backward nations of the East. In the firstlquarter of this century, typhoid fever epidemics scourged Canadian cities from time to time. Sanitation, the chlorina- tion of water and pasteurization of milk, combined with the develop- ment of inoculation: against. ty- phoid, have removed this threat. The newest development may write the end to deaths from typhoid fever on this continent. - Wind- snr Star.
