Prince County ‘Hospital

The Wllvle Province just now has its cyc on Prince Cotinty in its efforts to raise $300,000 for the erection of a new hospital to be located at Summerside.

S0l1l€‘Sll1’|)1‘lSC was manifested when the objective was announced, for it will be noted that it il Sh: saute figure as was sought from Qucciﬁ County for the new iving to the P. E. l. Hospital in Charlottctown. Prince County has generally been assessed approximately three- eighths of the Island total in the Victory Loan drives; and Queen's County about one-half, which is as good :1 method as any to indicate the relative wealth we are considered to pos- sess.

It means that Prince County realizes the need and is (lctcrtnincd tn raise the amount. They must fccl a thrill comparable to that which the nation fclt when we offered Britain an unprecedented loam, or to what the world felt when it read of Capt. liogarty Fegan turning the Jervis Bay with lls 4-inch guns t0 meet the 11-inch guns of the licrtnan raider.

This much can be said: The men charged with the responsibility are men who have al- ready proved thcmsclves in both their personal business and in their zeal for the public good. Organization has bcen proceeding for a long period and support guaranteed from every community in the County. The publicity nec- essary in such a campaign has been well handled and sympathy and loyalty keenly awakened. It remains only for the generous support of the individual, and we predict new laurels for our \Vestern County in this respect.

For Empire Defence

A Canadian Press dispatch from London states that when the Empire Prime Ministers meet there in about a montlfs time the British cabinet will tell the overseas leaders that the time has come" when they will have to bear a. larger share of the burden of defence because Britain cannot afford to pay the 1ion’s share as lhe has done since the beginning of Empire.

Before the Second World War broke out Canada only possessed a few destroyers and 10mg small patrol craft" Australia had four cruisefs and some small v sels; New Zealand Ind South Africa practically nothing. The army and air forces were almost negligible in terms of modern warfare. The Britidi Navy was the largest and most expensive in the world. For the practical purposes of defence, the Dom- inions relied entirely on the Royal Navy for their defence", paid for and maintained by the British taxpayer.

During the war these countries did what they could under difficult circumstances, Can- lda in particular (loing ,an astonishingly fine job with small ships for convoys and submar- ine hunters, the total personnel being as large as that of the prc-watr Royal Navy. We are going to mnititztin a lnrgct‘ navy than ever be- fore, but the British tiovcrnmcnt is going to ask that Empire countries maintain some big ships-Aaattle-cruiscrs and the like, which will have to be built in British yards. Before thi! war, the Royal Navy had more than 20 "battle wagons" and the naval estimates alone amount-

, ed to $750,000,000 .1 ycnr.

Britain has every right to expect that the Empire countries shall bear a larger share 0t the cost of their own defence.

Moiicufqilk Consumed

Some interesting figures 0n "the increase in fluid milk consumption in Ontario have been issued by the Ontario Milk Distributors’ As- sociation. Between r939 and the end of r945 the overall increase for all Ontario was 72.9 per cent, from 250,405,000 quarts to 432,857-- 000 quarts. In Ottawa during the wartime per- iod the quantity ul milk consumed almost doublctb-in some (listricts the increase was cvcu high€|'-while the increase was less than 50

Figures issued elsewhere for the first months of r946 indicate consumption is still on the up- grade. " Incidentally, says the Ollazua Journal, this very evident trend towards milk as a beverage

In a chart w"ch accompanies the release from the Ontario Distributors there is an in- teresting sidillght. In June of last year, when the armed forces commenced to return from overseas in numbers, milk sales took a decided upward trend. This continued through to No- vember but became very noticeable from July rim when the family allowances came into cf- ect. i , -

Tale of. Two Tractors

The following is from an Ontario ex- change. Maybe it helps to account for thcdiffi- culty our Island farmers have been experiencing in the matter of farm machinery. ,

“A friend of ours, who owns a farm in Stamford township, related an astonishing story this wcck. If he is to get the maximum produc- tion from his land this summer, he must have a new tractor within the next month. But, like everything else in these piping days of peace, tractors are very scarce; especially agricultural tractors. In fact, the best promise of delivery our friend has been able to get on a farm trac- tor is about three months, which means that he would not get a machine until some time in july. For all the good that would do him, he might as wcll not take delivery until next spring.

“Oddly enough, the situation in regard to industrial tractors is not as difficult. Our friend says he can get delivery of an industrial trac- tor in about three weeks. In the particular make of tractor hc wants, the industrial type and the agricultural type are identical. There is no difference whatever between the two machines, except in the matter of price; the formcr costs about $52 more than the latter, because farm tractors are not subject to sales tax.

“What mystifies our friend, and us 10o, is just what circumstance makes it possible to gc: fairly prompt delivery of an industrial tractor, whereas the same machine, when it is called an agricultural tractor cannot be had until too late for it to be of practical use for this seasoifs farm- ing operations.

“It is generally agreed that the production of {God is ofparamount importance this year, if half the world is to bc saved from near-starva- tion. Yet, our friend's story indicates that in- dustry is being supplied with tractors to the detriment of farmers. Truly a strange situa- tion, because a farmer cannot postpone until July the things that should be done in §pril. Land which is not worked up and seeded at the proper time cannot produce certain vitally- necdcd cro s this ear.

“On tihc othcyr hand, a delay of three or four uiontlis in the delivery of a tractor to an industrial concern might catisc some inconveni- encc, but hardly a catastrophe."
