lin Urgent Appeal

" 'As announced elsewhere in this issue, The . Guardian, at the request of the promoters, , - has agreed to receive and acknowledge sub- scriptions in this Province for the Manitoba - . Flood Relief Fund. It requires no words of commendation to place this urgent need be- fore the people of Prince Edward Island. .We are noted for our generosity in respond- ing to humanitarian appeals, whether they be made through the Red Cross, the Salva- tion Army or other organizations. This ap- peal is an individual one, made to meet a pressing uiergency in our sister Province of Manitoba which has suffered incalculablc loss and injury through the flooding, by the Red River, of the greater portion of the

capital city of Winnipeg and its environs. The promoters are leading citizens of Manitoba, all giving their services voluntar- ily; and they have asked newspapers in ' every Province to come to their assistance ' by acting as receiving and forwarding chan- nels for relief funds. In assuming this re- Iponsibility for Prince Edward Island we feel assured that our citizens will respond

generously. "Who gives quickly gives twice."

Starch Imports

i A potential market for Island products

right in this country is indicated by a return

tabled in the Commons indicating that over

one million pounds of potato starch were im-

ported into Canada last year having a value

of M2376. Other forms of starch were

; imported to the time of over half a. million

3 ;. . dollars worth.

l Starch, of course, is a much less bulky and perishable product than potatoes and offers fewer problems in transportation but

3 it seems reasonable to assume that a locally

7; - produced product could compete successfully

- with imports from the United States, the

, Netherlands, the United Kingdom or from

v - -' anywhere else. Starch factories here do a

most valuable job in absorbing surpluses

and culls but their importance to the Is- land's economy calls for much more atten- tion than they have received to date.

E The King's Title

I

In the South African Parliament, Prime Minister Malan said ”there was no doubt there would be a 'change in the present title of the King'. and added that Canada was tdissatisfied withythe present position'." "This reference to Canada was taken to mean Canada was dissatisfied with the pre- sent position in the Commonwealth. where- ias the context of Dr. Malan's remarks made it clear he was speaking only for Canada's attitude to the King's title." In Capetown, Mr. Malan told the Senate, "I will deal with that,” when asked by Senator W. G. Bal- llnger. natives' representative, about the misunderstanding. Baliinger was about to read Prime Minister St. Laurentis Ottawa statement when Malan intervened. A Cana- dian Government official at Ottawa said he knew of no issue that would warrant the statement that Canada was dissatisfied with her position in the Commonwealth. Canada did. however. feel that the King's title had become outdated by recent developments.

Last Primitive Eskimos

From Ennadai, a point on the head- waters of the Kazan River, some 375 miles from Churchill in one of the most isolated sections of Keewatin District, forty-seven Eskimos were recently removed to the sc- curity of Lake Nueltin, on the northern boundary of Manitoba. They are believed by officials at Ottawa to be the last truty primitive members of the race on this cor.- tinent. As far as is known, the group has never felt the impact of white man's civil- ization. The only other primitive group is near the centre of Boothia peninsula but they now have a missionary and a trading

Officials of the Arctic division of the Re- '-sources department hadknown there was a small number of Kazan Eskimos somewhere in that vicinity and when word came to a weather station in that area that natives were litarvlng, supplies were flown in. A Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer who uvgtigatod recommended that the natives gymaved. may had been accustomed to will solely on carlboo as their forebears V I for untold generations.

sonic other route, the natives starved.

The Kazan Eskimo band was at one time much larger. Probably many drifted away to join groups who traded with the white men along Hudson Bay.' In any event the RCAF officer found only 47. It was de- cided to move them to Lake Nueitin. They had to be flown the 130 miles because most of their dogs had starved or been killed. An RCAF plane ferried them and their meager belongings. There is a fishing station at Lake Nueltin where the natives may find employment. There is a trading post where they will get supplies for their family al- lowance cheques. They may find cariboo there too.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The Province is maintaining its reputa- tion as a leader in Arts and Letters. 0 O I The Provincial Government intend hold- ing examinations for entrance into the Pro- vincial civii service on Wednesday 31st inst. O

The Salvation Army's general canvass begins today for the whole of Prince Ed- ward Island. The Provincial quota of 559,- SOO seems modest when the manifold ac- tivities of the ”Army” are considered.

Newfoundland would like to'forward us shiploads of cargo in return for our export pioduce. Only up till now she does not know what would suit our markets. She will soon find out, however, if the price suits the buyer.

The by-elections today in Toronto and Hamilton will not affect Party standing to any extent, but they will determine whether the House of Commons is to be subjected to feminine influence. 0

Air Cadet Week opened yesterday and

having an opportunity to learn of activities which are going on in their midst in the way of producing air-minded good citizens. 0 Daniel OlConnell, Irish statesman, died this date 1847. He was a famous barrister. nick-named ”The Counsellor". He became head of the Anti-Union party. Was M. P. for Dublin and fought coercion. He estab- lished Union Repeal Association all over Ire- land, and was revered as ”The Liberator.” 0

The forthcoming display of copies of Crown Jewels in Toronto highlights the fact that the originals may not, by law, be taken out of Britain. There are probably many more pressing matters for the Government to attend to, but it would be most appropri- ate if at least a crown and scepter could be provided for His Majesty's use on occas- ions when he personally participates in the proceedings of Canada's Parliament.

A ltpeifect woman" in one regime, may be a notorious criminal in another. Blonde Gertrude Scholtz-Klink, 47, Hitler's "Per- fect Woman" and No. 1 Nazi woman's lead- er. has been sentenced to 21,4; years im- prisonment in Germany by a denazification appeal court. Her husband, Josef I-Ieiss- mayer, a former S.S. colonel-general, was classified as ”a major Nazi offender" by the same court and sentenced to three years.

Of the old yew tree at High Lorton Wordsworth wrote:

"The pride of Lorton Vale

This solitary tree. a living thing.

Produced too slowly ever to decay;

Of form and aspect too magnificent

To be destroyed.”

It will not be destroyed, for the British Ministry of Town and Country Planning confirmed a tree preservation order which effectively safeguards it. it was under this tree, too, that John Wesley used to preach to the dalesmen. Another famous true which was recently made the subject of a tree preservation order is the old oak by Newbelis Farm, Haughley, in East Suffolk. This tree is reputed to be more than a thousand years old. Its circumference at the base is 53 feet, and at a height of 3 feet 6 inches it has a girth of 34 feet.

The million dollar Spanish galleon at Tobermory has not yet been explored al- though it has been located by the R. N. divers lent the Duke of Argyle by the Gov- ernment. Ancient legend, not entirely sub- stantiated by historical research, says the galleon, part of the 16th-century Spanish Armada. carried 30,000,000 gold ducats, worth about 575,570,000. With the finding of the hulk, however, the Royal Navy gave orders to dlscontihue operations. The Navy's agreement with the duke, who by tradition owns the galleon and the treasure, if any, was merely to locate the hulk. If the duke wants to investigate further about the du- cats, he'll have to take the necessary steps himself, presumably by hiring civilian di-

Another Island ii

By

LONDON, England -. I well rc-

member years ago. as quite a junior schoolboy, reading in a. newspa- per on a certain Saturday one Spring that on that day "all roads lead to wembiey". This made me feel rather indignant because it. seemed sheer effrontery for some anonymous writer to be tcilinz me something entirely wrong about my aim local geography. For I knew jolly well that if I went. up the road where I lived in I North- ern industrial city it certainly-would not lead me to Wembley or any- where near it. True, I had only a hesitant idea of the cxact. whereabouts of Wembley - it was some two-hundred miles away. as it happened - but it was perfect- ly plain to me that. as far as our road was concerned. if I went. in one direction I should come to an iron foundry. and in the oth- er, a paint. works. After a momentary panic in which familiar order of things had changed overnight, and that no matter where I wanted to go I couldn't get. anywhere but Womb- iey, I settled the issue to my own satisfaction by taking a walk and proving to myself that. the iron foundry and the paint. works were still there. That. done, I resumed my indignation at. the nerve or that newspaper for, apparently, dlelibcrafiely trying to scare pac- p 2.

Well, of course, it is not to be supposed that the author of that outrage (or so it seemed to me) expected to be taken as literally as that. Now that 1' am better able to appreciate such journalistic licence. I can also spe that there was e- and still is .. more than a little justification for the figuie of speech. For It is undoubtedly true that if all roads do not act- ually lead to We-mbley, on cup Final days most of our main roads are. in fact, heavy with traffic Wemblcy-bound.

I have written something about the Cup Final in this column be. fore. but it is so essentially a part of the English scene that it. can hardly be avoided at this time of year. This glittering climax to the footboll season, when the annual custody of "The cup” - a trophy worth immeasurably more in hon- our than in intrinsic value - is determined by a game between the two sides remaining after weeks or knock-out competition. and this game is a magnet which attracts the attention of people in every city. town. village and hamlet. in the country.

Those who cannot get into the stadium at Wembley to see the game all. at home and listen to the commentoiy on the radio. or look-in on the television broad- cast. But. those things are I poor substitute indeed for the real thins. for there is on indafinoble atmosphere about the stadium on Cup Final day which has to be experienced to be appreciated. one hundred thousand spectators pack themselves inside. and several hundred thousands more would be there if there was room for them.

But. also. admission tickets are amongst. the rarities of life, and like most rarities than days they fetch hlih Dficu on the unoffic- ial market, changing hands at up to twenty times their issued value. such is the draw of the Cup Pinoi, that loads to the night. of motor

parts of the land. cnmpsd in their seats for hours on end. overnight cues. to mind then on

now see: around I stretch of turf and become wildly excited over the

skill of twenty-two men playing with a leather ball. . .

The presence of the King and Queen makes it. a Royal occasion and establishds it as a function of major importance, giving to A football match some of the pomp and ceremony that makes a na- tional evenl. out. of a sporting con- test.

The marching bands of famous rximcnts in the intervals and be- fore the game begins. the Royal Standard fluttering in the breeze, the tenseness of competition be- tween the giants of football, the massed crowds, the cheering and noise and clamour of partisanship all make up that "atmosphere" which leads to the great s-livvmv -when the winning captain receives "The Cup” from the lmiids -of the King. and each player. winner or loser. is handed a. medal by the Queen with that regal yet homely graciousness that is her own.

Oddly enough. frequently the game itself is not quite so brilliant as the occasion itself. so much is at. stake, so great the exciteinent. that human nerves would hardly be human at all if they were not a. little affected. Sometimes the nerviness is reflected in in- frlngoments of the rules of play. This year it did not. go unnoticed
