cusnmnssows. - Airport Pnssllillitles

There is no question but that Mayor Stewart is right in stressing the tremend- ous possibilities involved in developing our airport facilities at Charlottetown. Oppor- tunity has been very patient with us in this regard; it has been knocking at the door for the past decade. and now more persist- ently than ever. What are we waiting for? Back in 1943 this project was very much to the fore at Board of Trade and City Coun- cif meetings. An investigator was sent from Ottawa to exaniine the site with a view to making large-scale improvements, and there was a lot of talk and enthusiasm. Then it all petcred out. The Doubling Thomases took over. Another type of knocker, not old man Opportunity. gained entrance on that occasion, and we have had him with us to our sorrow ever since.

The issue then, as now, hinged on the City obtaining the extra land required. Just what happened has never been satisfactor- ily explained, but the scheme was scuttled or abandoned. In the meantime, other cen- tres have been forging ahead as air term- inals and we are today in practically the same position we were at the close of the war, with an airport which has everything in its favor geographically and climatlcally. and which lacks only landing accommoda- tion to place it in the forefront of com- mercial aviation in Eastern Canada.

Interest in the project has been revived by the recent visit of Mayor Stewart and Premier Jones to Ottawa, and by the sub- sequent visit here of Defense Minister Clax- ton. It appears that both the Transport and Defense Departments are sympathetic, and will co-operate if we show the neces- sary initiative. The City Council is plan- ning to have a new survey made this spring, and is keeping in close touch with Ottawa.

Let us hope that this time the project will have the full support of all our cit- izens, representatives and public bodies. What we have lost by past indecision and lack of unity will never now be recovered; but in this new field of air transportation it is the future that counts. One need only cite the tremendous progress made by 0U1' Maritime: Central Airways, despite the handicap imposed by airport limitations lo- cally, to realize what is at stake. Let's not wait until public interest again subsides. This may be Opportunity's last bid for ouri attention, or at least the last chance Wei may have of interesting Ottawa in the;

scheme. I

The Three East: i

A National Geographic Society news bulletin performs a useful service in defin- ing clcarly what is meant by references to. the Near. Middle and Far East. These various terms serve to break the vast Or-p ient into handy sections, but because they lack any broad and official status. they remain vague in the public mind. The So- ciety, dealing in terms of logical geographic divisions, currently divides the three Easts as follows: I

'Far East: China, Mongolian Republlcy. Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Indochina, rhanand (Siam), Burma, Malaya, and In- donesia. '

Middle East: India, Pakistan, Afghan- ;stan, Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, and Ceylon.

Near East: Turkey. Cyprus. Syria. 1-0' banon, Israel, Jordan. Egypt. mitt. Imlv am the countries of the Arabian Peninsula.

Burma, long grouped with India be- cause of political ties, became independent in 1948. and has quite recently been trans- ferred to the U. S. State Department's Far Eu: grouping. The shift is logical. as the National Geographic sees it, since Burma alone of the countries in Asia's big south- eatern peninsula had been outside the Far sut-ueslsnati0n-

Commenting op Mr. Donald Gordon's announcement that the C. N. R. has pur-

. chased its last steam locomotive, the Mone-

ton Transcript concedes that the rise,of diesel and the decline of coal-burning en- gines will, of course, have an adverse ef- fect on colliery operations in Nova Scotia and Western Canadian mines. But this trend has been evident for some time; it is not at all an unexpected development. It means that the coal mining industry must concentrate on research so as to devise oth- er uses for this type of fuel. For it is un- realistic-as some politicians seem to think -that the now practically obsolete steam locomotives should be retained to operate on the nationally-owned railways when the Canadian Pacific and most of the Amer- ican railroads are fully diesclized. and as such would be outdistancing and outclassing the C. N. R. in performance and service to the public. '

The same criticism was made-it will be recalled-in connection with the MN Abe- gweit. whose efficiency as an icebreaker is in no small measure due to the fact that she is diesel powered. There was a strong pull to have this ferry built as a coal burn- er, like her predecessors, but fortunately political interference proved ineffective at that time. Since then we have seen our whole Island division dieselized, and ac- cording to the Railway management, this was an important factor in the efficient snow clearance job done on Island lines during the past winter.

Someone in the staff magazine of the British Electricity Authority must have been rapped for this: "Among the liabil- ities which the Authority took over on vest- ing date are a number of persons on the staff who still believe that the electricity supply industry should be run for the

A report from Quebec indicates that be- cause of the mild winter and the few ice floes bearing seals which came close to land in the St. Lawrence area there was a marked drop in the seal catch.

WARIVILY APPR ECIATED

sir. - May I take the liberty of using the medium of your column to voice my heartfelt appreciation of the Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service. I feel sure that these are also the sentiments of many hun- dreds of patients right here in this province of ours who have received free blood transfusions during and folletvlng major operations. The fact. that this blood was available without any of the former worry of frantically contacting relatives and friends at the time of the op- eration was of inestlmable comfort to me. We. who have benefltied by this service in such numbers should feel it our bounden duty to urge those who are able, to be donors and so build up the stock required to carry on this service.

Through the medium of the Can- adian Red Cross Society the aver- age public-spirited citizen is enab- led to contribute both the blood and the money with which to pro- vlde life itself for his lcllowman. To all concerned I say a most sin- cere "thank you" and I trust that next. week's clinics will be thor-l oiizhly successful and exceed the objective set.

Sir.-Some years ago a iiev.ly arrived clergyman in visiting. his pal'l8hl0l'lCl'S. came across just one cause of real want. the breadwln- ncr being bedridden.

Our Minister of Healtli and? Welfare has expressed himself fol tne effect that. the church and others should not drop the age- old custom of helping the poor. simply because the Federal and Provincial Governments are doing a little along that line. The church has always done a little to relieve distress and should do more, in spite of family allowances and old age pensions if over 65 years.

When a community nsks for special help for any needy family. it should at the same time get i'lCi.lV8 in providing a way for any who who in the home can do

"in 1792 our fisheries which had been gradually revived since 1784, promised to become again considerable, and afforded the means of recommenclng a trade

which we were abundantly sup- plied With their produce upon very moderate terms: several car- goes of fish were also annually shipped for'the European market. for which British manufacturers,

salt and wine were brought in return. "Besides the cod fishery, the

herring fishery was begun and promised well, and our merchants had found means to obtain a con- siderable shorc in the produce of the great salmon fisheries carried on in our neighborhood on the continent. and upon the whole there was every appearance of ex- tensive and valuable fisheries be- ing established to the great ben- efit of the Island when the late (American) war commenced; Ilnee which the fisheries have been al- most given up: and our articles of export now consist of wheat, bar- ley. oats, salt pork, butter. furs. seal oil. and oysters, to Nova Sco- tia. with live rattle and some timber to Newfoundland. and oc- casionally in few cargoes of squar- ed timber to Great Britain.

"A few people are nlso engaged in building ships which are men- nrally sold in Newfoundland. This is a business which will probably be carried on to a great extent, should Newfoundland fisheries re- vive on the restoration of peace, ns the great plenty of timber in several districts. and the reason- nhlc rate at which the necessaries of life are obtained. will enable us to build at a much cheaper rate. than they can do in New- foundland. where the timber is now gener:ilI,v at such it distance from the harbour: as to make it vcrv expcnsivl.-.
