forethought For Parking 1

28. 1963

The parking problem is a well-nigh universal one for towns and cities today. The St. Johns Evening Journal observes that it has become acute in the Newfound- land capital and that the introduction of parking meters has, in some respects, only tended to aggravate the situation. Since they represent a considerable source of rev- enue to the Council, the meters may tend to cause a disinclination to give further at- tention to the matter. '

One of the great disadvantages of the system is that during shopping hours those who drive or are driven. to a place of busi- ness are unable to find space in which to pull into the pavement as the whole front- age on each side of a street is occupied. They cruise slowly looking for a space, thereby slowing down traffic, or double park, thus creating an obstruction.

Some cities are providing parking spaces in central localities or business premises are required to have available sufficient space for a number of vehicles to be left stand- ing. . This has all been said before but the Journal advises'the Town Councils that are now being set up throughout Newfound- land, as in this Province, that they too will soon be faced with the very same problem- the availability of parking space for motor vehicles. They, however, have the oppor- liinity to take measures to avert the dis- advantages with which the older towns are confronted. The setting aside of special areas, centrally located, where motor veh- icles may be left standing is certain to prove of the greatest convenience, will avert congestion and might be made serve as a source of revenue to the munici- pality.

Preparing Farm Survey

The Dominion Bureau of Statistics is again distributing to farmers throughout

to-

kets from the high, and to a considerable extent emergency, levels of the early post- war period was to be expected, but a de-

tain lines in the past three to four years tends (a) to precipitate surpluses which, in turn, may mean lower prices; (b) to create a shortage of storage space and a need for marketing quotas; and (C) to bring about acreage reductions, and shifts, sometimes ill- advised and uneconomic, from one type of production to another.

Fortunately the increasing population and high level of consumer purchasing pow- er have cushioned the declining export mar- ket for a number of agricultural products, and farmers have to some extent adjusted their production to the changed conditions. Per capita consumption of many farm pro- ducts has proved quite responsive to the lower level of prices since 1951, and sug- gests that if prices are kept at attractive levels, production need not be unduly cur- tailed. By the same token, the costs of both production and distribution. which are to an appreciable extent dictated by the in- dustrial, non-farm segment of the economy, should, in the interests of the country as a whole. be held at a level which will place Canadian farm products on an attractive level domestically and a competitive level abroad.

One of the many reasons for the im- portance of good grammar is given by Dr. G. I. Duthie, professor of English at McGill. Holding that faulty English is a result of faulty thinking, he declares that ”no one unable to think clearly is likely to be a fully effective citizen." O I In the sixth and concluding volume of Sir Winston Churchill's remarkable series of war memoirs is mentioned the opposition to his plans for operations in south-eastern Europe. They were dismissed by American and otheriauthorities as being "purely political", as though every aspect of the

Sir.-Because, in the study and review of the structure of Indo- European languages like Latin. French, Greek, Spanish, etc., I found a basic knowledge of Eng- lish Grammar a necessity, and because, before this acquisition. I had been unable to make any pro- gress ln the study of even one foreign language, I am inclined to emphasize the study of grammar and the mrrelation and corre- spondence of the structure of these languages.

Up to the present, Emily Post hasiforbidden me USU! i-119 point with a few of the "De- grees" who disagree with me can- ct-rning the fact that this relation exists among the tongues of an- cestral and modern Europe.

But. surely, it is known by all students above Grade X, that civ- ilization, based upon Christianity. moved northward into primitive Europe and established itself be- tween the years 1 and 1000 A.D.. with the Latin Bible as a founda- tion and source of study, in the early schools and monasteries, un- der the supervision of Latin teach- crs and missionaries: and. that these schools, established earlier. on the continent. found their place in England between 400 and 900 AD.

It followed, normally, that pro- gress in the development of all the North Europe languages ad- vanced similarly, but, it will be easier to grasp facts if we pur- sue its growth in one country such as England, acknowlcdzed. as we read, for its excellence in that particular form of turf.

Alfred the Great, taught to read and write Latin by his young step-mother, A French Princess. in- herited the crown of England in 871 and ruled as the most famous, capable. and loved kings of the early Anglo-Saxon period. Among the accomplishments for which he is remembered is the writing down of his Anglo-Saxon language

whlch, up to this time, was. in general, a spoken language only. All books, formerly written and studied in England. were in Latin. These included the Bible and Bede's Ecclesiastical History. Per- haps my readers will recall'Bede and Caedman. with others. as Anglo-Saxon Christian student: in the early monastery schools of England, where they 'had' learned to read and rewrite Latin.

King Alfred's ambition was to have these books translated into English (Anglo-Saxon) so that..hls

people could learn to read, and this he did. His scribes were Anglo-Saxons who had learned to

read and write Latin in the mon- asterles.

Now what more reasonable con- dition followed with raspgct to the primitive spoken tongue of the 'Anglo-Saxon, than. that it was fit- ted into the Latin Grammar frame, at were all the other na- tional languages of Europe. Com- mon reason would draw thls con- clusion even if we had no 'hla- torles or old grammar: in our llbraries to back it up. Early alu-

mar, with all its terms and part; of speech and by comparisons. lub- stituted our words for Latin equiv- alent: Europe has no Grammar that It may call it: own. some, like Spanish-in fact most,--have retalned cue cndlnll- Illllilll and French. as examples, have dropped these case endlnll. and accomplished a few other simpli- fications. A few took on more in- flection: and became more com- plicated for at dy, but "Ill" re- tained the bone- ark of the Latin Gram The grammar which. today. we all English Grammar or French Grammar. ctc., has therefore little claim to original- ity.

word (among many much words) sentence, in the Latin Sentencin- thought.

As to tense. the Latin, "amo' had three meaning: and uses in Anglo-Saxon. Latin, amo-I love, I am loving. I do love. The Anglo- Saxonl distinguished than condi- firm: of time and action by three distinct changes. The Latina left distinction to context. iEngllsh- I love-indefinite of time and con- dition. I am loving-present, in- completed action. I do love-prep ent, cmphatlc' (indefinite). French follows, exactly, the Latin form- "j'alme-I love, I am loving, I do

ve.

The Past Progressive (incom- plete or imperfect) "I was loving", Latin. "amabo", French, ”j'amdiI". (Spanish "amigo-friend) is quite similar in all three, except that in the Passive Voice, English now dispenses with the "lug", its lym- bol of incompleted action, and like the Latin, uses the Passive form "I was loved" instead off "I was (being) loved", which follows the rule; so that. at present, the form "I was loved". has two distinctive meanings in English. (1) I was loved-I have been loved, and (2) I was (being) loved (past incom- plete action in the passive). The French generally reserve this past Progressive or imperfect tense for past incompleted action or past habitual, and use the perfect and definite tenses for completed ac-

on.

Another form that punk: the student who does not read wido- ly or do literary rolearch. is the l-:ngllsh,,Grammut.lcal, Perfect Pro- gressive Passive "I have been (being) loved," which, like the above, in modern literature, as in the earlier art, omits the "being" with the participle "being" lym- bolic of lncompleted action. This is another wholly grammatical. "possible" form which makes clear the meaning of the-Passive form "I have been loved",.- and- dis- tinguishes the Perfect Passive from the Perfect Progrenlvo Pas- alve.

English-Present Perfect Pro- gressive. Active-I have been lov- lng: Passive-I -have been (being) loved. ,

Present Perfect. Active-I have loved. Latin -- amavl; French-- fai alme. Passive-I have been loved. Latin-amatua sum; French -,i'al eta aime.

By the way, one of my lettered and learned objector: to correla- tion didn't even know that our Grade XI French. couru change: from the exemplary verb "aimer". in the -Active ,Voice to another, that can be correlpondently trans- lated by an English Passive. (Why?) in order to illustrate the French forms of Passive with Transitive verbs. (Look it u ) in either f'Dnndo of N.S." or " ours Mayer da Francois", of Ontario and the Welt. r

I shall be glad of I reply from any student on this subject of correlation, though I expect that some patriotic proud Frenchman orf Englllhman will want to dig up for Europe an independent or orlglnaf Grammar that bears no relation to the Latin or Greek.

Sir,-After re-rudlng the (incul- rlon on school-room discipline. I noticed the poulblllty of mis- understanding with respect to "first-steps" and so-termed "nail- ing down to A -few- important rules" at the beginning.

when I took my pen. I had in mind I group of primary children who had been "spoiled" by im- proper and unskilled management -I group that has to be brought back from extremes, to normal school behaviour. such 5 school is I "problem" for the "trained and experienced" teacher. Therefore. I wrote with the atmosphere and thought for restoring order and obedience among normal, but mis- guided and Ipolled children.

Such procedure. however, does not apply. wholly, to young "un- Ipoilcd" children. who came to school for the first time-especlab ly from good homer. Here the idea of "nailing down" to rules does not apply because the chil- dren have never learned to break rules.
