liova Section Coxswain

The only Canadian to be coxswain of the Oxford crew in the famous boat race, and I winning crew at tlial, has been elected to succectl the late Angus L. Macdonald as Liberal leader in Nova Scolia and con- sequently to lie Prcniier of that Province. The lion. lit-nry Davies liicks Dllj())'S many other distinctions but perhaps that of cap- taining a winning boat's crew appeals as rnuch to the iniiigination of Nola Scotians as any.

Being first and only fvlinister of Educa- tion for Nova Scotia represents, however, an even more noteworthy effort. Under his direction since 1949 the newly created De- partment of Education has seriously tack- led the problem of providing education for scattered communities that is comparable to the tic;-t provided in the larger centres. Raising the standard of tcacliing qualifica- tions has been as much his goal as the provision of suitable schools and the means of attending them.

Like so many political leaders he is a lawyer, although the war and politics left him little time to practice his profession. The training. however, no doubt enables him to deal with specialists in various fir-M: on l'(Vlsrlll?llll)' equal terms and at the same time should help him to keep the schemes of enthusiasts within the bounds of practical administration.

The new Nova Scotian leader has a great tradition to live up to. His predeces- sor, who became Premier at the same age, achieved a very high status in the nation's life. Canadians of all parties will hope that his successor will prove as great a Nova Scotian and Canadian.

Another Surplus Disposal

The announcement that the United States will commence liquidating her sur- plus food supplies will send a shiver throughout the food-exporting parts of the world. President Eisenhower makes a number of reassuring points about the method of disposing of the surplus but at best it means the addition of something like fS300.000,000 a year of agricultural products added to the world supply for the next three years. .

With the best will in the world and the greatest care not to flood particular mar- kets, the result will still have a depressing effect upon agriculture. That will be more than compensated for, however, when the threat of these vast reserves is finally re- moved. Their very existence has been something of a blight on market prospects year after year.

The particular proposals put forward by President Eisenhower should yield positive good results as well as minimize the dis- location of markets in the course of the operation. The proposal, for instance, to use the surplus to raise the standard of consumption in areas which are obvious- ly under-consuming may well create per- manent markets which will be of long- term benefit, The idea of relieving emerg- ency wants is not new, of course, but has a strong humanitarian appeal.

The problem of surplus disposal obvious- ly had to be faced some time. The Am- erican President has decided that now is the time and it may well be that by grasping ,the nettle boldly he will avoid many of the stings.

British Potato Harvester

For twenty-five years inventors the world over have been trying to produce a satisfactory mechanical potato-harvester. Now, according to London Calling, the 'potato-harvester which provides all the 'answcrs has recently gone into mass pro- ,ductinn in Britain. The principal differ- -ence in the machine compared with other .such implements is that it uses no chain --belts to move the potatoes. This work is 1;-performed by rotating welded steel riddles. U'I'he' machine first trims away the potato

(plant and the weeds, then two discs shave

"Tithe side of the ridge which is then lifted

"by the share on to the main riddle, which ' looks rather like a large rotating saucer. :.,The important point here, is the gentle lift- ii-ing action. The potatoes are not dropped. E-but slide on to the riddle when the sur- Eface is substantially flat. As it rotates with the potatoes its surface becomes more and more inclined until at the discharge point it becomes vertical. This riddle can- 'not be damaged by stones and there is nothing in its construction that can wear out rapidly.

Equally remarkable. according to Lon- don Calling, is the method of stone and jclod separation. When the potatoes, stones,

and ciods emerge rrom the rlrst riddle tneyt pass over a horizontal riddle, subsequent-l ly to be swept by a rubber brush to a short, elevator and then to a conveyor with a carpet-like surface composed of a largel number of specially shaped rubber mould- ings. They look like a multitude of fingers and are arranged in such a way that the potatoes roll off easily whereas stones and ciods are trapped and eventually discharg- ed back on to the field. On this conveyor the potatoes travel until they get on to an elevator formed by a number of trays. At this point room is provided for one or two operators to eliminate by hand such things as bad potatoes, horse shoes. and the like that might have escaped during the journey! across the rubber carpet. And at the endi of this elevator the potatoes roll into sacks on a trailer.

It costs tip to 15 pounds to harvest ouc, .

acre of potatoes in Britain. This machine, it is claimed. cuts that cost to about one- third. In average conditions it does about three acres a day. With its ten-horse- power, four-cylinder engine it is economic! to run. On official advice, mass produc- tion of the new machine has been handed over to the same organization which manufactures the famous Bailey Bridge.

I ATLANTIC LETTER

Canada's Second

By Douglas Howe

The million or so North Ameri- cans of French-Acadlan descent now are observing a year-long 200th anniversary of one of the poignant and grotesque episodes in the Canadian story-the Expul- sion of the Acadians from Nova Scotla. It. will reach its climax next August In the Maritime Provinces where there now are roughly 20 of these people for every one in 1755.

It's a. service to Canadian unity, that the leaders of what. will be- come very large celebrations, are st-reuing the theme of thanksgiving and playing down any tendencies to inflame old angers. They in- tend, in fact, to ask the other Cn- nadian racial groups to share in their ceremonies. As a. spokesman says, "we're going to stress what we've done to help Canada grow

and the way we fit happily into the Canadian pattern."

Yet. in the Acadian story, the oldest. of all Canadian racial stor- ies for they stem from Champlnin's settlement in 1805, the Expulsion does remain the salient. incident. Even in an age when the refugee is counted in the millions and hu- man brutality has achieved far greater refinements, it still shines through time as 3 distinct. and individual tragedy to many be- sides Acadians, This is largely at.- tributable to Longfellow for his poem Evangeline has become the literary shrine of it people's suf- fcring.

But any rereading of those times makes one feel that not. even st Longfellow has exhausted the lit.- erary possibilities of this story. When the Canadian talent. masters those forms of expreston. here waiting is a grant. national epic or opera or ballet, a great. folk tale.

Here are the Acadinns, 10,000 to 15.000 of them in the Maritime area, a sturdy peasantry reared from Chnmplain's planting. It. is their tragedy to be trapped in n helpless but. strategic position in the time of final Anglo-French contest for the continent. They seek neutrality but as Frenchmen and as the one large body of set.- tlers in an area ruled by Britain they become pawns and walls in a death struggle between two great powers; viewed by both in the bleak light of political expediency. For a generation the British valeti- lnte between forcing them to take the oath of allegiance or go And the fear that if they do go they will simply strengthen the French elsewhere. For years the French try to use them us a thorn in Bri- tain's side.

Here are the strong. directing men who shape events to A head. Here is Abbe Lal..out.re, the incen- diary priest, hating the British. gosding the Indians to harass them. threatening the Acadianti with the Indiiim' tomahawks un- less they side with France, getting hundreds of them to leave their houses to go behind the French lines. even burning one thriving village to make sure they won't go back. Here is the conciliatory Bri- tish govcrno'i- Hopson going home in '53 and Charles Lawrence Auc- ceedlng him. an abrupt, hard nois- ier. a man of action.

But over the sufferings of the expelled there can be only sorrow. We see them often "bare and destitute", home- less, scattered some drowning at sea, begging in Quebec, dying of ctuease in the tropics, dying in the wilds enrout.e.hc:me. , .

All of which makes it. the more important. that the Acadlnns of today are stressing thanksgiving in their anniversary. Canada as a whole could offer thanks. The Aca- diim descendants of those who came back and those who escaped deportation have become 9. thriv- ing, thrifty segment of the Mari- time population, with their own schools, colleges, eloquent, ' cbruches, neat, scrubbed commu- nities. Notably, they make up 3'1 per cent of the population of N. B. There are roughly 275,000 of them in the three Maritime Prov- inces but three or four tlmu more elsewhere, above all the Cajuns of Louisiana. Here they are a. distinct. group. distinct even from Quebec's French, for they have their own patroness, their own flag, anthem and feast days. They Are Canada's second French racial strain.
