CIIARLOTTETOWN,

lint chasing Saucers

Flying saucers got into the rarified at- mosphere. of the House of Commons the oth- or day, but only momentarily. The subject was introduced-probably in the hope of starting a controversy-by Mr. Noseworthy, York South, who asked the Minister of Transport to make a statement to the H House on a news report that jet planes were

1- engaged, the night before, in chasing flying saucers over southwestern Ontario. ;'- A less wary mall than Hon. Mr. ' (Tllevricr might have been lured by this bait into the realm of scientific speculation, V thus setting off a verbal chain reaction which would have been highly entertaining hut irrelevant. The Minister was made of sterner stuff. His reply was a masterpiece of caution and brevity. ”I take it," he said, "that my hon. friend's question is predicat- ed upon the assumption that flying saucers exist. I am not: in a position to say that they do. I know, however, that the planes? over which I have jurisdiction in the Dew partment of Transport were not chasing, flying saucers in southwestern Ontario oi" in any other part of Canada." I Mr. Noseworthy then directed his ques- tion to Defense Minister Claxton, who said the report almost certainly referred "to an . ordinary service flight of an R. A. F. Can- berra plane across Canada and the middle V i west of the United States at a speed of A something of the order of 300 miles an hour."

Mr. Claxton succeeded in answering the question without even mentioning flying saucers. So we are not to know, after all. what our Government members think about them, or whether they regard them as any more fantastic than the gyrations of the Federal budget, which last year missed its mark in the fiscal stratosphere by hun- dreds of millions of dollars.

Migrant Billeiloitle

Ninst people try to control the bl'eedil'l;,' of flies on their own premises and com- munities are concerned about particular breeding places within their 'limits. The well-known habits of these pests in carry- ing disease germs and filth make them very unpopular neighbours indeed.

Recent experiments, reported by UN- ESCO. indicate that the area of danger is. considerably greater than was thought. Biowflies or bluebotilcs were fed a radio- phosphorus solution and released in the centre of an area in which traps baited with rotten meat had been set in concentric cir- clcs to a maximum distance of four miles. One day later, many radioactive flies were. found in the four-mile circle, well beyond their anticipated 24-hour range. The traps were then moved out to 8 and 12 miles. Some flies were recovered from the 8-mile circle after the second day. This suggests a much. stronger migratory tendency in these flies than earlier experiments had been able to show.

The results also emphasize that a breed- ing ground for flies that is miles away is a source of danger of infection almost as great as if it were within sight. Health- conscious cities and towns used to be con- tent to keep down the local fly population. It seems now that it is just as important that they be assured of conditions eight miles or more distant.

TM llatlonai Anthem

The National Anthem has come in for a good deal of discussion in the United Kingdom in recent weeks. The suitability of some of the verses to modern conditions has been questioned. The London Spec- tator offered in prize of f5 for the best version of a new first verse, and entries were received from Canada, Kenya and Malaya as well as from the United King- dom. Verses had to keep to the old metre. and be so phrased as to make "king" and tqucen" interchangeable. Few entries met all the conditions. The Bishop of Ply- mouth rhymed "bring" with "queen"-and the Spectator says that will have to wait for Prince Charles' accession when it could

read "Po Thee, O God. we bring Our country and our King." Admiral Sir William James sent an

entry which the editors liked except they felt the woi-d'7'liaprv" was not Itrons ulooghln bis. lino -"Gnnthcrclicppy .'-' version was in except for the next-to-

last line which, says the Spectator, "throws metre to the winds and the orchestra into a gallop"-the line read "Join realm to realm and friend to friend." A joker sent in a verse beginning

"May all our debts be paid

By further Marshall Aid."

As an indication of the great change in outlook in the past few centuries, the Spec- tator reproduces a verse in the national an- them which was sung at the time of the first Jacobite. uprising in 1715. The Gen- eral Wade who is mentioned was the com- mander of the army sent into Scotland to crush the rebellion. The verse read:

God' grant that General Wade

May by Thy mighty aid Victory bring.

May he oppressors hush

And like a torrent rush

Rebellious Scots to crush God Save the King.

As the Spectator remarks: ”No Coven- anter need be irked by this. It belongs to past history. And if General Wade did crush the 1715 rising he gave Scotland some fine roads."

A delegation from Northern Ireland, headed by Rt. Hon. Maynard Sinclair, has arrived at Ottawa to discuss reciprocity with Canada. He says Northern Ireland has a surplus of potatoes, which seemed to be in short supply on this continent with resultant high prices. Good Irish linens also are available, he said, and Noirthern Ireland could use many of the engineering products such as agricultural machines pro- duced in this country.

)ll.'Sl(.' IXVDER l)lFFlf.,'l'l.Tll'IS Musical concerts were (I frequent. source of entertainment in old- timc Charlottetown, but the good order which is now taken for grantcd was not always in cv- idenre. At a largely attended con- cert. in the Market Hall on March 7, 1883, organized by Prof. S. N. Earle as a benefit for a fellow musician. Mr. Reid. the harmony was turned into discord. owing. apparently, to the rivalry between two local organizations, the Glee Club and the Orchestral Club. "We trust thllt after last. night's performance." wrote one indignant patron, "those who undertake to hold concerts in the Market Hall will see the necessity of having in good energetic chairman, not only to save so much time from being wasted, but also to maintain some degree of order throughout. the building. not only in the main ball, but behind the scenes. We were very much surprised to learn that. our amateur perform- ers hurt so little feeling for each other. Just fancy. a vocalist do- ing his or her best to render a piece of music. whllulhose close by, separated only by a thin flag. were engaged in blowing through the valves of cornets, packing up back stands. smoking tobacco, and moving around generally. to the great annoyance of the performer, and the disgust of a purt of the audience!" .

Prof. Earle himself contributed

a spirited commentary on the subject. "Your correspondent." he wrote in The Examiner, "very justly complains about the be-

haviour of R certain crowd, mad with jealousy, I suppose. who style themselves an Orchestral Club. As manager of the concert I did my best to try and keep order, but could not do so. and I would defy any chairman to do so either. One of those itinerant musicians so for forgot his good breeding as to exclaim. fwhut is Sammie Earle doing up on the stage: let us go no and haul him down!' I should like to see any of those fledgelings try it. My friends who took part object. to appearing on the stage again, were they likely to be annoyed by such an un- mannerly crowd. I regret very much flint I have been provoked to write the above. but the public will see I had ll just cause to do so."

In the mean- time, however, small villages have grown to large cities as in result of new employment opportunities created by the use of new ma- chines. -The same principle has operated in more recent times when an obsolete machine has

The reason L1 transparently simple. An efficient operation is one which lowers costs of produc- fion. Lower costs make lower selling prices-and lower selling prices broaden demand. Broad- er demand calls for more machines and more men to operate them. And the railways enter the pic- ture when demands for trnnapor. tation increase. Their function as carriers responds to the some influences. Specifically, when die- sel power is found to be both more efficient in terms of work done and also cheaper, the benefits are paged on to the public which uses the service more freely and even offer new types of business to the carriers.
