Signally Honored

It is with pleasure that our citizens will note, from our news columns, the honor which is being paid today to Dr. Joseph A. Mac- Millan, of Charlottetown. at the an- nual general meeting of the Cana- dian Medical Association in Van- couver. Dr. MacMillan is being pre- sented with the Canadian Medical Association Medal of Service, and he will be the first recipient of this unique award.

The decoration is intended to honor candidates who have con- tributed service to the profession in the field of medical organization, service to the people of Canada in raising the standards of medical practice or personal contribution to the advancement of the art and Science of medicine. “In all re- spects,” says the citation which will be read at the presentation of the medal today. “Dr. MacMillan fulfills the requirements and his life among the doctors qualifies him in full measure for our tribute of thanks.”

Note is taken of Dr. MacMillan's distinguished career both in the academic and professional fields. in- cluding his organization of the Char- lottetown Clinic. his activities at the Charlottetown Hospital, his work in organizing the first regional plan of prepayment for hospital and medical services. his election as first president. of the Maritime Hospital Association. and the leading role he has taken as chairman of several important committees in the na-

tional organization. It is an impres- .

sive record indeed. and one in which ail his fellow Islanders take pride.

They will warmly indorse the congratulatory message sent yester- day by Premier Shaw. and wish for ‘fDoctor Joe" many more years of brilliant service to his community, his province, and his country.

Soviet Volte-Face After many years of stubborn refusal to go along with any on- largement of the United Nations Security Council until the Chinese Communists were admitted to the UN, the Soviet Union has reversed itself. It is now said to be willing to enlarge the Security Council (and the Economic and Social Council) to give more seats to the countries of Africa and Asia.

This was a case in which the Soviets found the rug pulled out from under them by the very people whoae cause they were espousing. Behind their backs, it would seem, a Chinese official let it be known that his government approved of more seats for Asians and Africans in the Council without waiting for Peking to be represented. This caus- ed resentment on the part of Asians and Africans against the Soviets for what looked like prejudice against nonwhites. Now Moscow ap- parently feels that its dispute with

. Peking is open enough to allow drop- ’ ping the pretense that ideology de-

mands unswerving insistence on Communist Chinese admission to the UN

’ WNThe volteface has its amusing

but also its more serious im- na. With 15 members in the My Council instead of the pres-

‘ an {11, the relative strength of each

Asians and Africans are still un- likely to commit themselves to sup- port of the Soviets in cold-war terms, certainly not unlem their own interests are directly involved. If the West falls in meeting the chal- lenge of reconciling free world ob- jectives with these interests, it will have itself to blame. The time has passed when the big powers on either side can hope to use the un- committed nations as mere pawns in their game.

Fiscal Need Recognized

While commending as “3. won- derful thing” the sweeping recom- mendations of the royal commission on health services, Premier Shaw rightly notes that the all-important question is one of financing.

Many people in this province will agree with him that the proposal‘to legalize lotteries could prove a dangerous innovation. But of chief concern is the proposal for a joint sharing of the costs, on a 50-50 basis by the federal and provincial govern- ments. How could we afford to par- ticipate in such a plan here? How- ever, we note from the press sum- mary of the commission’s report that payments on a fiscal need basis to the “financially weaker” provin- ces are advocated. This is a signifi- cant provision in more ways than one.

This province has been contend- ing for years that fiscal need should be the prime consideration in allo- eating federal aid to the provinces. Some recognition was given to it under the tax-sharing agreements, but we know to our cost that it counted for very little in the deals made at recent federal-provincial conferences. If indeed it were taken into account in the proposed expan- sion of health services. it might en- able us to meet our obligations, and it would set a desirable precedent for other cost sharing projects as well. ‘

It has been suggested that a federal-provincial health conference may be held next month. at which the groundwork for implementing the reCommendaiions may be made. In any case, this aspect of the report would repay careful study by our Island representatives.

OI National Importance

The. annual observance of the month of June as Dairy Month in Canada has coincided with the announcement that the butter surplus is no longer causing head- aches at Ottawa. The Agricultural Stabilization Board has completed agreements with 11 Canadian firms for the disposl of 50 million pounds of butter oil on export markets. Agriculture Minister Hays states that this means the government's entire stock of butter oil—oth er than that considered necessary for the domestic market—is at present committed for sale.

It is worth noting, too, that dairying continues to be one of the largest single industries in Canada, with approximately 350,000 farm families constituting the backbone of the business whose gross annual value exceeds one billion dollars. In addition, there are more than 1,900 dairy plants with a total working force which exceeds 35.000 employ- ees and whose yearly wages and salaries aggregate about $120 mil- lion.

Of all cash farm income derived by Canadian farmers—and the es- timated figure of $3.219,102,000 last year was the highest ever re- corded—an average of 18 per cent comes from the sale of dairy prod- ucts. In addition, in the process of good management and more ef- ficient farm production. dairymen supply something over 40 per cent of the beef and 60 per cent of the veal consumed in the ten provinces.

All of which goes to show that the industry is of vital importance to Canada’s economy, not to speak of its contribution to the public health and well-being.

MERRILY, MERRILY DOWN THE STREAM

OTTAWA REPORT by

Patrick Nicholson

Maintains Role As Sq uire Of The Kooienays

Bert Herridge, the colourful 69 year old New Democratic MP. for Kootenay West, has lived a varied life — student at Guelph‘s 0.A.C.. wounded hero of the famed 54th iKootenayl Battalion in World War 1. Vice president of B.C. Liberal Asso- ciation. forest farmer, M.L.A.

He is one of Parliament‘s great individualists. and as such the kindly. Bert has pre- dictably made his office on The Hill into an interesting Mecca. There his friends from 19 years of Parliamentary life gather of- ten. braving the risu to life, limb and sanity inseparable from dodging his booby traps of piled files and sharing a chair with a scrap book.

In basic equipment. MP's of- fices resemble one another like ugly identical tw i n s. E a c it holds an office desk. several green steel filing cabinets. a green water cooler. a couch and easy chair upholstered in "Pu- blic works" fabric of stained I claret colour. and a typewriter with desk and varicoloured op- ' erator —- the whole set in room painted depressineg In “Public Works“ colours: sand. spinach and shoeshine brown. Yet some MPs spend 100 hours a week in and out of that!

Bert lives up to his honorary title as The Square of the Knot- enays, and has two large walls of his office glazed almost solid with framed pictures of Kooten- ay folklore mixed with squirish

PIvCTURED PAST

Properly there are coloured snaps of his four attractive dau- ghters. There's a watercolour of a half timbered farmhouse in warm red ' perhaps two centuries old; this is labelled "Homelands Farm. Ramsdean, Hampshire'——in the Old Coun- try where he was born. Beside it. hangs The Columbia House. tne early Herridge homestead m B.C. These two houses stand it, 000 miles apart. but they are linked by the childhood of The Squire. There are other photos of faces and places, including “Shoreholme”, the Herridge Lakeside home at Nakusp.

Then there's a whole fascinat- ing picture gallery of the fleet of the stern wheelers which sailed the inland seas of B.C.

When the Herridge family moved into the Arrow Lakes distirct with the early settlers,

ere was neither road nor rail The pioneer communities scat- tered among the untracked for est were c o n v e nien-tly and cheaply linked and served by boats plying the Columbia Ri- ver. especially where it mencd into the 150 miles of long nar- row a and the Root- enay Lakes.

The first waterborne freight of the B. C. interior was carried on S. S. Duchess. a lay-guess and by~god contraption which sail- ed by the seat of its panic.

Music In The

Year 2000

Peterborough Examiner

Glenn Gould is probably Can- ada‘s best known musician abroad. His renown is due more to musical perception and in- sight ishan technical accomplish- ment and thus his comments on the future of music can not : be regarded lightly. In accept-l ing an honorary doctorate of laws at the University of TM- onto. Mr.’ Gould predicted that orchestral concerts as we know them will not exist 36 years from now in the let Century. Their place will be taken by further refinements of high fi- delity and stereophonjc record- ing methods.

Mr. Gould did not say this sadly: he welcomed the possibil- l ity as a way of achieving new 1 unin between composer. per-g former and listener. He added

; seemingly with approval, thatl

future record players will par- mit listeners to adjust a record- ed symphony electronically in duplicate the interpretations of their favorite conductors.

The depressing part of this is that Mr. Gould is probably right. but we do not welcome the prosepct. No matter how imag- inative performers and record buyers are, they will never be able to achieve the sense of com- munication that is present to varying degrees at all public concerts. On rare occasions this feeling is apparent of both musicians and audience. Then we experience our moments of greatness in music. those mem- orable performances that live in the mind to support (the elec- tronic montages we settle for in

‘ place of live, unpredictable mu-

sic-making.

PUBLIC

FORUM

COMPETITION INDEED

Sin—With regard to Mr. Stevenson‘s 10 t t e r which ap- peared in Thursday's paper, the most apparent observation is that it is a pseudodefensive waste of words. In a letter ap- pearing in the previous day‘s pape Mr. McMillan, gar of the Dundee Motel legi- timately complained that some of his units were often vacant when at the same time Mont- gomery Hall enjoyed a packed house. In Mr. Stevenson’s de- fensive reply he observed that

much of Mr. McMillan's business came to him via Momv gomery Hall — suggesting that the overflow from The was directed to the area's es- tablished hotels and motels.

In the same letter. Mr. Stev- enson stated that Montgomery Hall was not in competition with local innkeepers. The logi~ cal conclusion :is then that Mont- gomery Hall is an asset to lo- cal innkeepers. ' is a lar- ing example of the logic that was initially used to open Mont- gomery Hall for summer tour- ist accommodation and which is still being used to quiet the local innkeerpers. The accommo- dation record of Montgomery Hall at least until now, hardly supports this reasoning.

Could it be that Montgomery Hall was opened for summer tourist accommodation express- ly for the purpose as the local innkeepers?

Accomodation seekers have been directed to Montgomery Hall where there are few pri- vate facilities (Le. T.V.. (cle- phones and bathrooms) w h e n such facilities were available at local motels. Would it not be more profitable and accom- modating to have the motel and hotel overflow channeled into Montgomery I-lall rather the n

with crates of the berries the night before; and start the next morning at 4 o'clock to the city. William would drive through the city. selling from house to house, while one of his sons. us- ually Sidney. would sell them at one of the market stalls.

The strawberry season was a very busy time at the ‘Mac- Intyre farm. Scores of pickers. old and young would be hired to pick the crop. In doing so, a lot of money was distributed.

When the eldest son Fred was settled on a farm of his own on Queen's Road. he car- ried on the cultivation of straw- berries on a large scale. When he passed away in 1952 he had under cultivation; in old and new plots, about at acres. His death was a big loss to Monte- gue and the surrounding neigh- bourhoods. His sons, while they still grow.a small quantity. have turned to the old methods

Out at tfhe old homestead. William's youngest son Edison, st-ill cultivates a plot of berries. His health did not permit him to carry on as his father and Fred did; andthat is much to our re- gret. In Montague today. we have a systematic and expert grower of strawberries. in the person of George MacIntyre (no relation of the other family). George grows and supplies llhe stores with 8 him grade of her- m‘ea. I will venture to say that you can scarcely find a weed in his plots.

I have been prompted to write this by the drawing near of the strawberry season. and by the fact that we are to have a Strawberry Festival in Mon- gue. as a part. of the Centen- nial Celebration. We wish it every success

In this condition, a clot breaks loose from a distant source and lodges in a lung. The victim suddenly becomes short of breath and complains of severe pain beneath the breastbone. He feels faint and is restless and anxious. Death may be abrupt when a large clot is present.
