Premier Campbell's. ~announice- ment of the proposals his government - has made-to Prime Minister Pearson __and Transport Minister Pickersgill “with regard to the operation of our ~ Borden- Tormentine.car ferry service ’ will be warmly indorsed—not only by "the people of this province, but across Canada if we are to judge by recent >'nfewspaper comments on the unwar- + ranted interference with this service * during.the recent rail strike. As noted arin our news columns, it is proposed - that the ferries: be removed from . CNR trusteeship and returned to the _ | department of transport. and oper-. =““ated either by that department or by a Crown corporation, without signif-’ icant loss of salaries or benefits to “employees d-operations been 1 left ine
“The whole issue boils down to” ‘the need of insuring. once and for all, - against what happened during the ~ recent rail strike and, still more dis-
astrously, during the strike of 1950.
On that occasion, in aunanimous res-
olution of the Legislature, Ottawa
was urged to place the ferries under
a commission or department of gov-
‘ernment, and to assume and defray "all expenses in accordance with Con- < federation terms ‘and conditions. No doubt Premier Campbell has in his _ files the letter which Prime Minister ___ $t. Laurent wrote to Premier Jones — et that time, in which he said: “T can assure you that the utmost effort will, “pe “made to take precautions. _which | “would reduce the likelihood of a sim-. lar situation arising in future. What the best course will be has not yet ‘been decided, but as soon as a decis- fon has been reached it will be an- nounced.”
We have been waiting sixteen ‘years for that announcement, and it 4s high time that it was forthcoming. “There, is no excuse whatever for further.delay. All that is required is
“S@ scratch of the pen. Not only is the federal government obligated under the BNA Act to maintain this ser-

would: ‘be in-a position to-take over at any time, when the interests of the... | so warranted. ~Since-1933;-at-the request-of the- government of this province, the operation accounts of the ferry ser- -vice have been maintained separately

« “lyided for by direct federal appropria- ~ ‘tion. No excuse for procrastination =-there. either! But these changes: only served to lull our people into a false -gense of security. Thev were intended -¢to underline Ottawa’s recognition of Ats responsibility for the maintenance “of the service. It is quite evident that ‘they didn’t go far enough. _- Now 1s the time to-put the issue ——bevond any possibility of doubt.’
- When Doctors Disagree Despite widespread talk about _ price ‘increases, big wage demands,
and the need to restrain inflation, the.
usually well-informed Financial Post maintains that there is mounting and very hopeful evidence that the in- fiationary fires are beginning to die down in Canada as well as in the U.S. But it is only now, that the Pearson government has heard of the inflation, and is propos- ing—some time in the fall---to take steps to meet it. The steps include— ‘of all things—not only tax increases and postpofement” of the national medicare program, but discontinu- ance of.federal forestry programs, postponement of university scholar- ships and a curb on rates of increase for ‘grants. for research “All Can- adians,” says anane.

Very significent also to our pros- it suggests; is the fact that some U.S. prices are starting to show softness. Prices for copper, lead, zinc, cattle hides and U.S. raw mater- . jal prices generally seem to have pas- sed their peak. The First National -City Bank of New York, as a result, now warns against over- -reacting to widely publicized price The bank makes a point about the - US. situation which, argues the Post, is equally applicable to Canada: It} says that those who call loudest. for tax ‘increases to restrict demand fre-~ quently confuse what is largely a inflation with a.- . widespread industrial goods infla- tion—which the present inflation most certainly is not. Moves to check demands in this type of situation simply do not check food prices.
The conclusion: Measures to boost food supplies in Canada and the. U.S. are likely to accomplish more in fighting inflation than indiscrimin- ate restraint of money and credit, or even. wage-price guidelines. .Not to. speak of federal tax boosts to the tune of some $390 million in the if Mr.-Sharp’s surprise “measures ‘to contain’ {n- _ to he de livered on schedule. _.
‘A Good Opportunity
An examination of the topics to be discussed at Vancouver this month by speakers and delegates to the 43rd | convention of the Canadian Education | Association are listed -as follows:: ~ Economie and Social, Planning and
Education; Role. of the Community College; Team Teaching in the next
..Decade; Utilization of Radio and Tele- vision in the Classroom;. Increasing _ Use of Computers; and Students’ * Viewpoints on Education.
Present at the convention will be. school officials from all parts of Canada, ministers and deputy ae
-Asters-of education from all the prov- - ‘{nces, superintendents and sehoal trustees from—major-cities,other_of- ficials from provincial departments of education, and teacher and trustee organizations. On Ontario exchange suggests, and with reason, that such a galaxy of key men would open a fine opportunity for the discussion of uniformity of courses and the stand- ardization of teaching in every prov-
_ ince, to the end that when children are moved from one place in Canada to another, they would not lose a year of their schooling.
The occasion would seem ripe, at | -least, fora full-scale discussion on federal: responsibility for aiding in ‘the establishment of more adequate _
educational across the country, the need for which has been emphasized by-the Fconom- - fe Council of Canada as of cardinal importance to the country’s future.
=——Unfortinately these subjects aré not listed to come before the conven-- tion. But surely they will not be en- tirely overlooked in a gathering of this kind..

De GAULLIVER’S TRAVELS
When I had a long private talk with U Thant in his office ~ atthe United-Nations- headquar-- -—-ters...six.months..ago,I- sensed his_lack of enthusiasm to. uader-_| ea ; five-year-term: as~ secretary-general of the world organization. He has now announced his decision to retire -- from the - $65,000 a year post: - this seems to me to bé entirely in keeping withhis towering in- tegrity and great humbleness, Rather than fail in the most {m- portant but almost superhuman task which confronts him —- healing the eséalating threat to world peace in Viet Nin— he’ ‘would move out, and modestly _ hope that a more able successor ‘might fulfill that task. But the large majority - of .. members of the United Nations —which of course do not in- clude. communist: China—regard the wholly sincere and _iinpres- sively serene U.Thant as excep- ae suited to his present job, and impossible to be betier- {28 at.this time. So there is. if widespread-— determination— persuade the reluctant aptonee to stay at his post. Burma’s_U_Thant has a very

1914-18 ‘VETERANS’ CLUB | Sir, — Each year first and se- eond World War units inthis | province hold re-unions, notab-— ly the 105th battalion and the.
Artillery batteries.
Unfortunately a considerable | number of men who enlisted in | 1914-15, .have no opportunity of attending regimental re-unions. These men enlisted in cities all across Canada, or perhaps on the Island; in any case they be- came attached to units whose home base is-not in this province - For example, original. members ¢ of the 13th Scottish Battalion were recruited in Montreal. As_| a result, when a re-union of these Upper Canadian, Western Nova Scotian or New Brunswick units is held, in most cases Is- land men are unable to attend.
First Division men, the orgin- = als, were: given -the-distinction of wearing a red chevron on the | Sleeves of their uniforms, and | .the.Mons medal. Other Cana-
dians, not of the First Division
but who fought in France in 1915
were awarded the Mons Medal:
only. There are Red Chevron
Clubs all across Canada; none on the Island. The number of ~ First Division: men on the Istand is now too small to support one:
It is therefore proposed to or- | | ganize a°4914-1915 club taking in all the old-timers, army, navy and Imperials who served in 19- 14-1915, in-other-words-holders-of- the Mons Medal.
Some veterans who arrived: in | England either in 1914 or 1915, | but who were prevented from g0- ing to France for a while because of sickness, or some other valid | reason may also be asked te | join.
Interested Island veterans from all over the Province are requested to write the 1914-1915 Committee c-o the Royal. Cana- dian Legion, Charlottetown, to register. Charlottetown Veter- ans may phone, write, or call at the Legion.
The undersigned compose’ a temporary committee which will carry on until a full organi- zation meeting is held.

But it was just outside Daw- son City, the fabled gold rush town, that the committee saw the most single glaring example of waste. Several mammoth trucks and trailers, standing some 15 feet high, and made es- pecially by a Texas company on huge, flat tires.

HOUSING PROBLEMS
non-natives is a major problem in the north. The cost of building a home is naturally high ~be- cause of transportation of the |materials and heating and main- tenance also exceed the levels of the south. Yet a great deal Le been done with pre-fab type houses and with special mort- gage arrangements to raise the standard. One federal employee in. Inuvik, for example, was liv- ing in a house that cost $40,000 to construct and he was receiv- ing free heat, light and water for a rental of around $120 a month.
