Need For Conservation

l of natural resources than Canada i has been. This is particularly true . concerning agricultural, fishery,

MONDAY, JUNE 16. 1958.’

Perhaps no countryin the world ‘

timber and water resources, probably because these have been so rich that very few persons can imagine a time when they might be depleted or seri- ously reduced in quantity. '

. In its current monthly letter, the a Royal Bank of Canada addresses itself to this subject. It points out that, rich as this country’s resources

I are, they are not limitless. “To the

, casual individual”, the letter says,

'“*i.1: may not particularly matter what‘ forest trees are standing in the year 2000. But the thoughtful ‘pitizery is

p . aware that destructive practices to-

day can milk the best of the nations resources only at the expense of the future population”. 0‘

The letter has something to say, too, about the need for conservation y from another angle which is becom- ing ever more important. “It has ‘ been pointed’ out in carefully docu- mented reports that the world popu-

lation has increased "until there are only about two acres of productive‘.

land for each individual. While de- l__ structive practices are dailyfcausing l these two acres to shrink, population

V is 3’mounting at the ‘rate of about 100,000 a day". ’ ’ ’

. One Meal Less l report from West Germanyi ;, says that Roman‘ Catholic youth 0 groups in that country have raised 0 . more than $50,000 to,feed hungry ‘ people in India. It was in response ;§ to an’ appeal by the Federation of I ,1lGcrma.n Catholic Youth which, stressing the consequences of global hunger, said: “No other evil anni- ghilates the human personality so thoroughly as does hunger. It breeds egotism and ‘lethargy and destroys. any social feelings”. A similar appeal , is under way by the German branch of the Fax Christi which in a state- ment that “Christians in our era 5 are challenged to prove that they . have sufficient insight, ‘courage, 7}’ imagination and love to give a proper A and sufficient answer to the enor- mous problems of the hungry”. ‘ This donattion by (2m.‘niau youths ‘ to the hungry people of India is I newsworthy in itself. It is made all the more so by the manner in which

0 flue money was raised. Each contri-

butor did without one meal a month and gave the money saved to the fund. ‘

If this idea could be adopted on a large scale by all the well fed

. nations, what a great amount of

money could be made available from . this source alone to, feed hungry‘ people which: according to statistics, include more than half of-the world’s population! Supposing that, say, 10 million Canadians—-exempting the _ very young and the aged and infirm ———were to follow the example of these young Germans. It would mean that at least $2 million a month, probably more, _ could go to the hungry at no sacrifice to anyone. Indeed, for most of us one meal less a month or even a. week would be _ healthful.

Right-Hand Driving

Motorists who obey the injunc- tion to “keep to the right” little sus- pect that they are copying a Nap- oleonic military rule. Such is the case, however, according to the Royal Automobile Club .of Britain which has been doing research into the subject.»

“Time was", the club reports, “when all European traffic kept to the left. Horsemen rode on that side to let carriages pass on their right, and swords were worn on the left so that’ the rider was in the

0 best possible fighting condition. Then Napoleon Bonaparte decreed that offensives were more effective if started‘ from the right instead Of from the traditional left. He start- ed marching his troops on the left side ofxthe road so they could wheel round and attack from a clear right flank. That meant that civilian traf- ’ fic had to shift over and move on the right. After Napoleon was de- feated the habit stuck and Europ- eans, like Americans, have driven on the ‘right ever since.”

Britain and Sweden, however, thejtwio countries which were nev-

0 er conquered by Napoleon ‘and, I-therefore, not subject tohis whims,

kept to the left-hand system and have adhered to it to this day, much to ‘ the annoyance of European, American and»-‘ Canadian yisitorn who try to drive on Britishlroads. . y The club does not know why North Americans adopted the right- hand._syst Perhaps it was simp- ly ~bccause it seemed *0 libel“ %0..b¢_

THE,iACAD"lANS OFt’«|5;“E.i.’7i’ Peter's Andi Troccidi

_By J. Henri Blanchard, -LL.D. ‘

Thomas P'ichon’s account of his visit to Ijsle St. Jean in 1752, ‘ continued fnom ‘Saturday’-si issue:

“The harbour of St. Pete-r’s is situated on the north part of vflhe

. Island. The mouth is choked up

by sands, and lies east and south. Its grealtest , breadth may be about half a mile. The channel lying north and southeaist, is quite safe at high water. it is everywhere fifteen or ‘sixteen 1'09‘? deep: consequently naviga- ble for vessels drawing ten or

. twelve feet. In order to render- ,this a commodious harbour, I

iihiink they should liaise from the foot of the last downs to the bor- ders of the oheinzneils a causeway of sufficient height to force the waters of the currents as well as the river, through the ethan-

over the lands; to the end that the rapidity of the current might carry away -the bar which stops up the mouth of the he/rbom‘-.

“The fishery is calrried on here with the some success as at the harbour of St. Peters.’ The cod is even of a larger size than that of Cape Breton and is caught in greater plenty, but it is difficult to cure, whiclh obliges the fish- ermen to carry a large quantity of it to the other islands of Am- erica. I think it would answer very well to salt and barrel it directly, and send it to ,Europe. THE PLANTATION

'-‘The plantation of the harbour of St. Peters is of great conse- quence, as well in regard to the fishery, «as to the commerce which the inhabitants may oar- ry on in the interior parts of the Island. But to render it more solid and durable they should at- tend to the essential part, nam- ely to agnicul-ture and pasture,. for the blreedinlg and maiintaaiinimg of all sorts of cattle, and espec- ially sheep. '

"BY keeping them together in folds, the upper lands might be improved, and meadows and 00I'.Illfi6ldiS laid out, from whence the inhabitants would reap a plentiful harvest of all kinds of grain. For if they had but the proper means of making these improvements, their own lands would abundantly supply all their wants, and they would be behol- den to fioreigners for notrhin-g but salt, lines, hooks and fisln’ng4iiac- kie. They might then dispose of their fish at a lower price, which would greatly increase their wealth.

GAME ABUNDANT

“Here they have likewise a vast quantity of plaice, thorrrbacks, barbels, muackerels and herrninlgs. In several pools and lakes along" the downs, they have excellent trout, amd such 3 prodaigiou-s milli- titiiclc of eels that three men might fill ti1.rce .l1r-gshoads oi them fOill.”'—i3lld1lVi’F‘.l‘iiy hours.

therefore at all sunprising that so plentiful ,a country should 'a- bound more than any other part with inhabitants. In this harbour only we reckoned three ‘hundred and thirty-nine. It is? true ilhlalt some of these, though ranked a- mong the invhabitants of the har-

bour of St. P.eii.er‘s, have their ,

plantations about the harbour of the Savages, which is ClilSll»_ai'ilt only a league from the former. ' “The harbour of the Savages advances half a league south into the country, and is divided into two branches. One runs a quar- ter of a league south south-west; alt the further and there is a brook with a mill for the grind- ing of com; the other runs half, a league west nonth-west. Near this haven grows the best wheat in the Isl-and.»

TRACADIE HARBOR .

“From thence we ‘proceeded three leagues further to the har- bour of Traoadie and found the same convenience for fishing and agriculture: so that the inhabi- tants seem to be very much at their case, the natural conse-

quence of industry. The entrance I

of the harbour of Tnaoadiie is’ formed by a cut of the downs at both extrerr_iitn‘.e<s, ' east and west. Their distance is half »a quarter of a league. The breadth of the channel is sixty flathoms, and it runs north-north-east, and south south-west. llt is of equal depth tlhroulghout, malt‘ is, sixteen feet at high water. ,

“At the month there is a bar of sand; which runs cast. a n d west, and prevents vessels that draw above eleven or twelve feet from entering. The harbour, how- ever, is handsome and spacious running two leagues eastward be~ bind the downs, and a league south into the country. The breadth of it is the same to the further extremity. The western coast is the only part inhabited, and has a very h-andrsome causey. NEIGHBORING COUNTRY

“The neighbouring country is covered with trees of all sorts: and the borders are also embel- lished with meadows, which pro- duce abundance of pasture. In
