Community

Assin Annual Meeting

Mr. Claude Smith. East Royalty, last night was elected ya ' of the P.E.I. Division of the Com- munity Planning Association of Canada at the first annual meet- ing held in Prince of Wales Col- lege. He succeeds Mr. Orin Bim- ons, Charlottetown.

several projects for the Associa- tlon were suggested and it was agreed that small ones should be attempted first to show the pub- lic that community planning could be a success before going on to long range projects. one of the smaller ones mentioned was the placing of wire baskets at various points in this city in which the public could deposit waste paper instead of having it litter the streets. -

Mr. Walter l-lyndman outlined the difference between the C.P.A. and a Town Planning Board. The former. he said, was formed of citizens and was purely voluntary. In the main it is designed to be inora ad 1 and educational than authoritative. Once the general public had come to realise the usefulness of the projects under- taken then, he thought, a Town Planning Board with authority might come into effect. In the meantime the community planning group would serve as a "bridge- head." its thought it'would re- main educational for a long time to come.

Research. Action Education Needed Here In Planning

"The predominant rural char- acteristics of this Province make it different from any other in Can- ada", Dr. Frank Maoxinnon. Prin- cipal of Prince of Wales College, said last night as he warned mem- bers of the P.E.I. Division of the Community Planning Association to take this fact into deep considera- tion when they considered any of the successful plans worked out in the other Provinces.

Dr. Macxinnon. guest speaker at the first annual meeting of the As- sociation, outlined some of the pec- uliarities of municipal jurisdiction as he told of the system of Govern- ment in effect here now and in the past. He expressed the opinion that this Province had a large system of Government for a population of about 90,000 people - lea than many cities in other parts of the country. However, he did not think we were over-governed.

" ause Ministers of the Crown had all the work they could do they were not so inclined to med- dle too much in local mattas and community planners would have to take much on themselves. By the same token local administra- tions were not unwieldy because the communities were not too big and they were unable to undertake many of the services provided in larger cities. For this reason it was necessary for citizens to do much themselves and for this they need- ed close co-operation with the Pro- vincial Government. This was pos- sible. he stated. because there ob-

By DOUGLAS NOW MONTREAL, May 21 - (CP) - The Canadian Leglon'a national convention re-endorsed its 1950 stand for immediate conscription today but happily accepted a Que- bec proposal that it should be called selective service instead.

A Quebec-Command , an said the only thing its delegates have against. conscription is the word itself because it has political connotations which are objection- able. The other delegates shout- ed approval of that position.

Once the country's No. l veter- ans' organization divorced itself from that one controversial word. the convention's major issue was finished.

One day after Defence Minister Claxton told them by implication that conscription is unnecessary, the hundreds of delegates unani- mously reaffirmed their 1950 call for "total preparedness" now. for a general speeding cf the military effort, for total mobilization of the hation”s resources and for com- pulsory trainlng-another synonym for conscription. , l

OTTAWA. May 21 -(CP) -The Commons, ratifying a United Nat- ions convention outlawing genoc- ide. heard hopes today that it will help eliminate this mass murder. But. External Affairs Minister Pearson said that genocide is still being practised, "especially in those countries behind the Iron Curtain."

Mr. Pearson said the convent- ion-signed by Canada in 1949-is perhaps the most important new source of international law to de-

velop since the Second World War. By approving it, Canada was

taking a stop to protect minorities. She was proclaiming that gen- ocide is a "monstrous crime." And she was making it more difficult to commit.

The Commons gave unanimous approval to the pact. though some speakers said its provisions should be stiffer.

BODY RECOVERED

Mr. Pearson said the Japanese peace treaty legislation will give the government authority to carry out Canada's obligations under the treaty. The measure was sent to a committee for further study.

Approved also was a resolution giving parliamentary approval to amendments to the Canadian- United states extradition treaty which have been in effect since last fall. Under the amendment persons using the mails to perpet- rate international frauds may he extradited. This will make it easy ier for the U. S. to extradiie oper- ators of stock frauds originating in Canada.

32 Countries sign

The genocide convention was signed by Canada in November. 1949. and also has been approved by 31 other countries. It outlaws acts intended for the extinction of national, eihnical, racial or relig- ious groups. whether committed during peace or war.
