Mr. King Among The Prophets

We quote the following correspondence in full, from The Spectator, London, to show our Pfimc Minister is among the literary elete:

Sir.-—\\‘ith reference to your search of Gray's poems for the rpintation in Mr. Perkins’ perora- tioii, in the House of Commons, I have the quotation amongst odds and ends with this note: “Translated from Gray's Catnbridge, 1737." But I do not know the name of the translator. The vcrsion I have has several variations 111 the lzittcr part:

“Stare at the flying fleets of wond’rous birds, England, so long the mistress of the sea, lVhere winds and waves confess her sovereignty, ller ancient triumphs yet on high shall bear, .\nd reign, the sovereign of the conquered air." Edgar A_ Preston. Anlok, Sutherland Drive, Newcastle, Staffs.

Sir,—ln referring to the verses of Thomas Gray which Mr. R. D. Perkins quoted in the House of C0111i11011s, “Janus" confesses he can find no trace of these lines. They are a trans- lation from Luna. I-Iabitabilis. The Latin lines are as follows:

Tempus erit, snrsurn totos contender: coetus Q1111 cerncs lnngo ‘excursu.

Dum stupet obtutu tacito vetus incola, longeque Insolitas explorat ayes, classemque volantem. Anglia, quae pclagi jamdudum torquet habenas, Exercetqtie frcqucris ventos, atque imperat undae; Aeris attollet fasccs, vetcresque triumphos Huc etiam feret, et victis dominabitur auris.

If “Janus" will turn to page 232 of my book Plague Year he will find that in December, r940 I stiggesfcd these lines would make a good quot- ation for any Christmas card sent to the R.A.F. -Yo11rs very truly,

Anthony Weymwth. jo Harley House, NW. I. -

Sir,—l\'o doubt many other correspondents will have been quick to point out that the lines quoted b_v .\lr. I'm-kins are a translation of Gray’: Latin poem (composed at Peterhouse) Luna. Habitabilis. But does Mr. Perkins deserve such credit for originality as you give him? If my memory serves, .\lr.

Still another record for the Province. The largest increase in the value of farm production in Canada for I942 over 1941 was in this Is- land, nearly 5o per cent. It is interesting to note, says the Winnipeg Free Press, that the next largest increases were in the provinces- which had not been producing their own food supply but were importing fro111 other provinces —l\‘ova Scotia, New Iirt1nswick and British Columbia. Their iticrcases, in value, were over 25 per cent. Manitoba’; increase was from $80,- 500,000 to $1oo,1oo,ooo—nearly as much as the three Maritime Provinces and British Columbia

Speculation is rife as to thesucccssor to the Chief Justice, though it is generally conceded that precedent will be followed in the ap- pointment of the Attorney - General, ivho. of course, is Premier Campbell.

In reply to a question by Mr. T. L. Church, Mr. Ilsley announced that by getting local boards to distribute ration books half-a-millon dollars was saved. Estimated cost of distributing new ration books by mail instead of having them picked up at distribution centres, was $500,000. The estimate was based on one cent for the mail- ing of the postcard application in the old book and three cents for the book. Instead of using the mails, local ration boards operating in 50o communities set up thousands of distribution centres where books could be called for, the re- turn said, at no charge to either government or recipient.

If mem- ory serves correctly, It was to the effect that the De rtment. was very cognizant of e fact that Lrmsportat-Ion between Prince Ed- ward Island and the mainland was In a more or less hazardous condi- tion, and In the event of a tie-up there would be an Immediate re- placement by s substitute boat than available.
