CEABLOTTETOWN. MONDAY. DEC. 4, 1950

Today's By-election

While the results of today's Provincial by-election in Second King's will make no material difference in the political consti- tution of the Legislature, it is naturally a matter of keen interest, not only in the constituency involved but throughout the Province. The late Hon. H. H. Cox, whose death occasioned the vacancy, was very popular, and practically unbeatable as a Liberal candidate. Should his successor do us well, the Government will have reason to congratulate itself on this evidence of pop- ular support. In one way, of course, they are in a stronger position, than during a general election, because of the patronage which is assured to the party standard bearer if elected. The Conservatives, how- ever. were well advised, both from the standpoint of party strategy and in the general interests of the Province, to con- test the seat, thereby affording an indi- cation of how the political wind blows.

They had further ground for optimism in the present case. At the general election of 1943, Mr. Cox was returned with a ma- jority over his Conservative opponent of 202 votes. In the 1947 general election, Mr. Rogerson succeeded in cutting this majority to 111. He is now facing a new opponent, Mr. Douglas, and his supporters are predicting that this time he will be victorious.

The election campaign has seen the re- vival of the oldtime joint political meet- ings, which is certainly to be commended over the practice of recent years, of fob- bing the electors off with radio addresses. There has been a min-imum of personal abuse, despite the number who partici- pated in the discussions. Both the candi- dates at the meetings gave most of their time to more prominent supporters, but in their own speeches they made a 800d impression, and in every way appear to have reflected credit upon the conventions which nominated them.

Todays balloting, let us hope, will re- sult in a large and representative vote on the legitimate issues of the campaign, leaving the victor with a clear conscience, and his opponent without rancor or griev- axlce.

Winter streets

Early or late though it may come we will be faced with the problem of snow re- moval from the city streets. Charlotte town and the Province generally have made great progress in keeping automobile traf- fic moving throughout the year.

Powerful plows now make short work of shifting great quantities of snow but the problem remains of where it should be shifted to. Ideally it could be carried away and dumped in surrounding fields or on the ice of the harbour or else melted and al- lowed to run down the sewers.

At the present date, however, neither method is practical for the large amount of snow which ordinarily falls and we must be content as a general rule to plow out a track without moving the snow more than a few feet. The snowbanks so built up soon become a major problem and in re- cent years the solution has been hit upon of pushing the snow to one side only in the narrower streets.

In the case of the wider streets, in pro- posal now before the city of Toronto might prove of value. It is that the plows clear out the sides of the street, leaving gutters, curbs, sewers and parking space clear and biild up a bank in the centre of the street.

Newprobiems would, of course, before- sted, but if the difficulties can be over- come the sdvsntageswould be great indeed.

LIVESTOCK FEEDS

Sir. - In a previous letter. while endesvoring to focus attention on the possibilities attached to an ex- pansion of the livestock industry as an alternative medium of livelihood for farmers, Is against. exccssm. gambling in potato growing. it was pointed out. a livestock feed policy was is prime requisite. if profits are to be a consideration in this re- spect. It is for the purpose of emph- as' i ,, that statement that this letter is submitted. It. would be the acme of folly for farmers to en- large their holdings and production efforts unless positive provision was no made assuring that an adequate supply of suitable feed would be constantly svnllnhle. no s reasonable cost, covering s twelve month per- iod in advance each year.

There is no other catastrophe that could prove more disastrous to an industry than that s disruption in essential feed supplies should oc- cur at any time during the growing and maturing periods in animal life. And yet. this very lmpci-ta.nt feature of livestock promotion ei- fcrt does not seem to have regis- tered with either livestock promo- ters or responsible officials of our chief farm organization. sufficient- ly to induce any effective action. We still have the hand to mouth meth- od. It a cost arbitrarily set by a profit exacting inde.

There are two sources from which farmers can secure supplies of basic livestock feed-grain. what. they grow on their farms, and what is imported from other grsln produc- ing nress. Up to the present. home grown grain has not been sufficient in quantity to supply the dsmand, and lxnportatlon in rather large volume for the past few years has been the pi-not-ise. The 1050 island gnln crop is up three-quarter mil- lion bushels. sud yet there will not be sufficient. to connect. with next. year's crop. Islsnd grown groin un- der present long of a properly func- tioning trsding set-up, is not a. sat- isfactory source of supply. some iu-msrs grow more than they can use and wont to sell: others. less than they need, and wont. to buy. There are no facilities throuah which the trsnsfer from seller to buyer cm be msde. except through dealers and opeculstors, who ' a. fee for doing so at the oxponse of both grower and consumer --sc- tually e tax on production set by the go-between.

LAST IJEDEQUE LOYALIST

The following obituary notice is from The Islander of Feb. 21. 1888:

" led at." Bedeque. on the 6th instant, Mr. Peter Schurman, in the looth year of his age. The De- ceased was one of the loyalists. and the last one left. of those who settled in Bedeque. He came to this Island in the year 1785. One of the most pralscworthy things that can be said or him is that he never tasted 9. drop of liquor dur- lng his lifetime; this, considering the time he came here. is a. very rare thing. lie was very hearty. and kept up to the last. It is be- lieved that he died not leaving an enemy. for while he was living he was noted for his kind disposition. He leaves a very large number of

children, grand children, great grand children and friends to lament him."

Licensing The Professions

(Toronto Globe and Mail)

Many Canadians will -watch with interest for the appearance of the Alberta statute by which the Pro- vince will deprive professional soc- ieties of their licensing powers and itself issue such licenses in the name of the Crown. If the new law is aimed primarily ai.re- movlng the network of interpre- vinoisl barrers which legal and medical '” have established. it will be widely welcomed. If it contains any threat. to profession- al standards it could do more harm than good. should it. open the doors to permit quacks in any or all of the professions affected to practice without proper qualifica- tions, and to collect fees without rendering adequate service, it. will be a bad law in spite of any virtue any part. of it may have.

Whether by means of such I proposed law or otherwise, the problem .of establishing highly qualified Europeans in the prac- tice of their professions here should be dealt. with at an early date. There have been doctors with as good degrees as any ob- tainable on this continent who have perforce token menial work. There are first-class architects working as house pointers and day laborers. The problem of law- yers is on a different. footing. as an intimate knowledge of our luv and its background is essential. But when high ability. good chsr- scter and competent English sre found. even lawyers who hsve come to us from Displaced Person csmp- should have every assis- tance. They have more to offer in the field for which they have been mined than in the ncquisitian of new skills which circumstances, not always we fsvorsblc, may 10110 "Don them.

From two pllccs in the Mid-West came news despatches last. week about TV troubles.
