Air iiadst lianrpaign

A campaign for public support of Canada's air cadets will be launched during observance of National Air Cadet Week, April 6-13. This ,wos announced Thursday as the two-day annual meeting of the Air Cadet League of Canada drew to a close. To bolster and advance train- ing of air cadets, the league also made these an- nouncements:

l._ Another 27 scholarships have been rais- ed by provincial committees of the league to send air cadets toRoyal Roads, and Royal Mili- tary college, Canada's two service colleges.

2. Organization will get under way to set

up an a-ir cadet amateur radio system and link it with the R.C.A.F. amateur radio network. The air cadet station will be operated by air cadet squadrons. _ 3. Air cadets successfully completing the R.C.A.F. scholarship flying course will be award- ed with a new set of "wings." A new award for bravery was also approved by the league.

4. The tri-nation exchange visit of air oa- dets with the United Kingdom and the United States will be continued this summer. The league will send 25 cadets to Britain and 24 to the U.S.

Canada's Atlantic Fisheries

One result of Newfoundland's entry into Confederation will be to place Canada in a higher bracket among world fish producers, as well as to give new strength to the political bar- gaining power of the "fish bloc" representation in the Canadian Commons. Pre-war Canada, ranked tenth among fish producing ‘countries with a-n annual production of l.Z million pounds. With the addition of Newfoundland, we shall probably rank sixth or seventh. The Newfound- l-and fisheries odd 50 percent to the total Co- nadian catch, double the volume of Canadian output on the Atlantic coast.

The new importance of the combined Can- ada-Newfoundland Atlantic fishery is indicated by the deliberations held recently at Washing- ton to set up the international Com-mission for the Northwest Atlon-tic Fisheries. With eleven countries participating, a treaty was drafted which, in substance, provides:

(o) immediate expansion of scientific inves- tigation of fisheries in the conventions area;

(b) the power to make recommendations

concerning regulatory measures which may be ffoun-d necessary as a result of the proposed in- vestigaticns. -' For this purpose, the North Atlantic fisher- ies are divided into five areas with a panel ‘or ench. These panels, whose members in each case will represent the countries with coast lines contiguous to the panel area or with substantial fishing interests in that area, will be headed by a commission with headquarters in North Am- orica.

The ‘ll pa-rticipoting nations were: Can-ado, United States, Newfoundland, United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark, lceland, Portugal, Spain, France and Italy.

And the important point to Canada is that with ylewfounzlland and Canada one, the Do- minion becomes the largest interested producer in this treaty proposal. ‘United States is next, then Portugal.

To Entertain World Farmers

For the first time in its history, Canada will play host this year to a world formers’ confer- once.

Some thirty nations, including the U. S. and Britain, will send delegates to the third annual conference of the international Federation of Agricultural Producers, which opens in Guelph, Ontario, May 3i for ten days.

Host organization for the conference will be the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, whose President, H. H. Hannam, is third vice-president of the international organization.

The conference is to be held in Memorial Hall, Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, and through the co-operation of the Ontario gov- ernment, and President Reek and faculty at the college, the entire facilities of the college build- ings are being placed at the disposal of the con- ferencg forPten days.

Revolutionary-mil’ True.

An innovation which may result in revolu- tionizing the dairy industry is reported from alndiona. Two men claim to have developed a process for canning fresh milk without affect-

ing the flavor or food value. The result on o'

large scale would mean the elimination of bot- tles,- cartons, milk-wagon deliveries and other factors that add several cents a quart to the cost of fresh milk, which could be purchased from grocers’ shelves, without requirinl "M9"- ation or special handling. _

_ The inventors ore Dr. Roy Graves, former 0 rtrnent of Agriculture dairy expert. and u V ' dairymon, Jack Stanrbarrgir, at whore form they developed their process. ' '

The Stombough-Grovu method breaks sharply with the usual posteurizing practices;

from the cow to the can the milk is never err--

posed to the air. It in drawn from ‘the cows by milring machines and pumped through stain- leu-stoei tubes into a standard homogsniur.

500 per cubic centimeter, compared with a moxi- mum of 30,000 permitted by the Chicago board of health. A reporter sipping the milk four weeks after conning said it tasted no different from the dairy-fresh product. A shipment was mailed parcel post from Chicago to Valparaiso without affecting it.

The inventors say that only lack of a bet- ter can and better lacquer for the inner lining now prevents their milk from keeping almost in- definitely. They are trying ‘to perfect such a container. . '

Finance Minister Abbott told the Commons that the additional $500 income tax exemption provided in the l948-49 budget for persons over 65 will be continued this year. He told Mr. Rob- ert Fair (SC, Battle River) that the exemption- now is a port of the tax law.

Agriculture Minister Gardiner forecasts greater social security measures than now exist, "based on the ability of Canadians to pay." C. CF. leaders must be concerned that if they should ever gain power there will be no further socialistic measures possible within the taxpay- ers’ means.

Dr. Gordon Lea is to be congratulated upon being appointed chairman of the City School Board, an important organization on which so much depends for satisfactory training and equipment of our rising generation. He succeeds a great man, Dr. Yea, whose ill-health necessi- tated his retirement.

Revenue Minister McCann says the Gov- ernment does not feel it necessary this year to ‘extend the April 30 deadline for the filing of income tax returns. He was replying to Col. Miller (PC-Portage lo Prairie) who asked whether this would be done in view of bad-road conditions in Western Canada.

The signing of the Atlantic Pact today may bring peace for a long time as British Foreign Secretary Bevin has declared. On the other hand, rf Mr. Churchill is right in regarding Russian policy as a deliberate election to evoke hostility rather than friendship of the Western nations, it rs then a victory for Russian isolationism.

. Early impressions are lasting. A bequest of $50,000 was made to St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Quebec City by the will of the late James S. Douglas, father of Lewis W. Douglas, United States ambassador to Britain. Mr.- Douglas, who had attended St. Andrew's Church as a small boy and made n-um-erous gifts for its support during his lifetime, died in Mon- treal Jan. 3.

The responsible duties of president and gen- eral manager of R. T. Holman, Ltd., have been conferred upon Mr. Robert Holman, son of the late lamented Mr. LeRoy Holman. Mr. Holman has had long experience with the firm, in all its various branches, and has shown marked busi- ness ability. The good wishes bf all the numer- ous patrons of the firm throughout the Island and Maritimes will be extended to him on this occasion.

For the first time, T. C. A. will fly pass- engers from Newfoundland to Britain and vice rersa now that that island has become part of Canada, Transport Minister Chevrier announc- ed. He said in a statement that the publicly- owned air line will provide service to and from Gander Airport from Canada, both on its" trons- Atiantic and domestic operations. lt also will start to pick up passenges for Britain at Gan- der, and will bring passengers back there from Britain. Mr. C-hevrier noted that international use of Gander will depend on reciprocal rights, and said arrangements for bilateral discussions with the United States-three U.

Oliver Goldsmith, British poet, dramatist and man of letters, died this data i774. After a severe struggle with adverse circumstances he began to be known in literary circles, among his friends being Johnson, Burke, Reynolds and Garrick. He was plain looking and pox-marked; generous to on extreme, he could moire money but could not keep it; he was beloved by every- body who got to know him intimately. His Vicar of Wakefield is one of the masterpieces of Eng- lish fiction, and his brilliant comedy, She Stoops to Conquer is next in popular favour.

GABOCBOC HOTEL

An enterprising citizen of Char- lottetown in early days was one Francis Garobbo, who on Aug. 5, 1810, addressed the following peti- tion to the Governor-in-Council:

"That your petitioner having noticed the inconvenience experi- enced by the public in general, but_ particularly by the gentlemen obliged to attend the sittings of tire General Assembly. of the want of a proper house of Cflurflflllllfléfit in Charlottetown, affording sufficient accommodation for gentlemen and their families together with good stebling for their horses;

"Your petitioner. patronized by several persons of respectability. and humbly conceiving himself to be sufficiently capable of conduct- ing with propriety an establish- ment of the above nature, has pur- chased ground at a convenient situ- ntlan in Charlottetown. being Lot No. 6O first hundred. for the pur- pose of building a Tavern or Ho- tel with suitable offices appropri- ated to the above purposes, solely to contain rooms of sufficient di- mansions to conveniently accommo- date the most numerous societies; to be called the ‘Freemasons’ Ho- tel. Italian Piocefi"

Upon this petition the Govern- ment granted n loan of fifty pounds to Mr. Gerobbo ta assist him in his undertaking. In the construc- tion of his hotel he evidently made considerable headway, for on the 23rd of October of the same year he petitioned the Government for additional sld and asked that some gentleman be appointed to inspect the piece, as a guarantee of ‘the bone tides of his application. This second request, however, was not granted by the Government. .

Wage Rates An Business

(Saturday Night)

The ‘Dar-onto District Labor Council the other day had a long and in many respects intelligent and public-spirited discussion of the problem of- growing unem- ployment. There was a tendency on the part of s-cme delegates to complain that immigrants were taking jobs at "exploitation" wages but the more responsible speak- ers, and notably President. Jen- oves. protested against "convey- ing to the public the impression that we are opposed to immigra- tron."

The one factor in the employ- ment situation which did not re- ceive any consideration at this meeting, and which we fear is unlikely to do so at future gather- ings of the seine sort. is the fact that in a number of industries the wage rate per‘ hour ncrw ex- ceeds the marketable value of the product of an hour's labor.

‘Phat condition has been con- cealed up to now by the fact that the selling price oouid be pushed higher every six months or so — and has been pushed higher. We have now reached the point, es- peciaily in the building trades (about which the Council was much concerned), where that is no longer possible.

We hive reached the end of the houses at $8.000 for desperate peo- ple who ought not. to spend more than $5.000 but who must have a place to live; we have reached the end of the new clncmss which can count on a capacity crowd because they are so much more luxurious than those designed before the war; we have reached the end of the conversion of factories from war lines to peace lines. of making of deferred replacements, of the equipment of old five-person homes to make them into thirty-person aparzrnent houses. . If hou-ses are to go on being built henceforth they will have to be built at a. cost that will make the rent a ICBSODBlJlQ return on the investment, and time‘ means either- higher rents or lower wages for building trades, and neither alternative will be accepted by 1s- bor councils in Toronto or any- where else.

Every time‘ firs. situation is brought to theattentlon of iribor organizations or politicians rep- resenting labor. their reply is that employers have been making large profits. One delegate actually used the famous Social Credit argu- ment that. "the workers don't earn enough l0~ enable them to buy back the products they turn out." The profits obtainable in a per- iod of increasing inflation and high volume of output (whether they are large or not) have no bearing on the profits to be ex- pected in a period of deflation and uufllCQllCflb reduced voiurme: and no industry can long maintain high mrpioyannt when its labor oasis coma too close to its selling price. . , .

plenty of problems. social, political and economic. but they need not be considered now. It the people of the Bermudas with to come in with u: lbw. like the people of Newfoundland, must take the in- itiative. Any Csaadisngoverumcrrt we are quite certain. would give the question thorough and lym- pathetic consideration if it were put up in thtsnrsy.

The Ttmeg-imsdon ETERNAL LIFE

The Christian outlook upon what lies beyond our present experience is bolder than any mere hope of survival, and more robust than any argument far the immortality of the soul. It ls an invitation to eta nal life by the conquest of death. ut how is this to be achieved?

Like the body. the soul grows by what it feels on: it transmutes events into experiences. and out of the tangled skein of circumstance and the stray threads of accident it weaves for itself an enduring pattern of character. Its glory, too. is that it can soiassimiiate even what is to ail-appearances harsh. forbidding, and hostile; the soul ex- pands by its capacity to take up into itself even pain and loss.

But it would seem as though there is a fixed limit to this pro- cess of spiritual growth. Other enemies the soul may disarm and. when it hes subdued them, go on to enlist them in its service. But what of the last enemy of all? The Christian story includes even that triumph. The Cross is followed by the Resurrection. and the two are linked by a spiritual connection end not only by a temporal se- quence.

Christ came to his glory by the acceptance of his shame. What is visible to all who will read the re- cord of-Hls llfe—I-!is incorporation into H s purpose of service of such things as questioning, opposition.

‘and seeming failure-is invisible

yet real in ‘His emergence from death as a spiritual personality who is with men to the end of time.

So there ls opened up for those who follow Him the possibility of a supreme attainment: the soul. having been exercised through life by growth through suffering‘, may at the lest take up even death into itself and pass on to eternal life.

Only it will not speak ofthis as its "attainment". but rather as God's gift. For such victory ts grounded in the apprehension of a purpose of God large enough to embrace. jusitlfy, and tranaflgure death it- eel

But n triumph so greet is not won in e single tense moment at the end; it is decided in advance by the fidelity which is shown in life's common occasions. when no- thing pacticular appears to be at stake. He who has learned to grow
