Prehistoric Relics

Couiparatively few relics of early Indian occupation have been found in this Province. Literature on the subject is scanty, the most important contribiition being an article on pre- historic shell heaps contributed in 1806 to the American Antiqiiarian by a visiting archaeolo- gist, the late Mr. J. VVALTER Fiztvxcs. There was no doubt in Mr. Fiaiviuss’ mind, however, that the Province was at one time the home of a consirlerahle aboriginal population. He exam- ined the remains of prehistoric camping places in the vicinity of Rustico, and gathered information from old residents of the existence of large shell heaps, many of which have since disappeared.

A friend of the late Mr. FE\vKEs, Mr. I-IARL.-xx 1. SMITH, head of the archaeological department of the National Museum, Ottawa, is ii0\v visiting the Province on a holiday. \Vhile he has uizulc no personal investigation into the matter, Mr. S.\ii'i‘ir corroborates Mr. Fawkes‘ opinion that a systematic search in certain local- ities on the Island would result in the discovery of many prehistoric relics, as has been the case

' in the neighboring Provinces. Such work, how-

ever, is laborious and expensive, and public funds for such purposes are not easily available.

Careful record is kept at the National Museum of every discovery of archaeological in- terest. This includes the areas where “finds” in the way of stone implements or weapons have been made from tiiite to time. The authenticity of relics, when received at the Museum, is checked by experts and usually it is possible to designate roughly the.locality to which they be- long. from the known customs and habits of the lwarious tribes. In this Province, as in the ad- joining mainland provinces, the earliest known inhabitants were the Micmacs, a seemingly ex- tensive tribe of Algonquin stock, whose relics indicate certain marked differences compared with the culture existing among other Indian races.

Finds of a unique nature, Mr. SMITH points out. are not necessarily the most valuable features of a I\luseum. If 9. Museum were es- tablishcd in this Province, for example, a wealth of material could be gathered from forest, gar- den, and sea-shore. Specimens of shells, of leaves, of rocks and other natural objects would afford an inexhaustible study.

for the two previous years 180,700 cwt. and 179,700 cwt. Canada sends almost all the ham contributed from the Empire, her only rival being the Irish Free State, which exported in 1935 only 20,200 cwt. Outside the Empire the only exporter surpassing the Dominion is the United States.

Although not a. great exporter when coin- pared with the dairy-farming countries of New Zealand, Australia and Denmark, Canada has increased her exports of butter considerbly. The report shows that she sent 63.000 cwt. in 1935. none in 1934, and only 33,000 cwt. in 1933. There are, however, declines in the amount of cheese sent, Canada shipping only 497,000 cwt.. as against 546,000 cwt. the previous year. Our export of cheese to the United Kingdom has shown a steady decline since the year 1932. when the amount was 757,000 cwt.

Decreases are also seen in the trade in eggs and condensed milk. In the latter Canada leads the Empire, and is second only to the Nether- lands. The amount for 1935 was only 95.755 cwt. as compared with approximately 104.000 cwt. for the two previous years.

One of the greatest increases is observed in the export of poultry, where there is a 35 per cent. gain, the figure for 1935 being 21,ooo cwt.. and that of 1934 only 16,000 cwt. In this pro- duct the Dominion is fourth largest exporter, being overtopped by the Irish Free State, Hun- gary and Jugoslavil.

This visit was made in pursuance of an agreement entered into last December between the governments of Germany, France. and the riations of the Empire, anrl the international committee set tip. headed by Generals VON Sm-:ci<r, Gi'ir.i./tt:.\t.\'r and Lord TRF.NCHt\Rl'l, has just met for the first time in London. It is to iindcrtake "the common task of administering and niaintaiuing the graves of those killed in the Great \Var, and especially of those who were l)lll‘l('il in what was then cnciiiy territory.”

The statistics of this agreement in what Lord Ti:iv;M:iiAim has called “the wider remem- brance and the cnuimon and constant recalling of the coiii':igt- and the sacrifice of the men of all sides who fell in the Great \\':tr." are still, despite. the p;t~-zign of twenty years, incomplete.

It appears divorced persons show the liigh- est rate of admission to mental hospitals, accord- ing to the l\lassacliiisetts Department of t\‘[ental lliscases. The dcpartmeiit said its findings were baserl on a study of (H.222 first admissioiis to Neiv York and .\lass:icliusetts mental hospitals over a five-year period and that figures in both states tallied amazingly. l\l‘.irried persons have the least chances of becoming mental cases. Next to divorced persons came those widowed and then single persons. The department said that single persons “lack the marital iiiter—relation- ships which ordinarily provide elements of bal- ance in the mental, physical, einotioual and social fields." The divorced in New York, the depart- ment declared, iti comparison with the married, have 3.5 times the chance of being admitted to a mental hospital. The Massachusetts ratio of 3.8 is even higher.

Blow torches are needed for warming up the engine; for this reason the stngle engine mach- lne ls well adapted to Canadian purposes.

As 3 result, the volume 0.‘ the freight and express canted in Canada ex- panded tl at about t/wental-Six and a half mil- lton pounds, had increased about slx-fo‘d since 1933. and more than forty‘-fold since 1925. Indeed, the tonnage of freight, canted in can- ada is now greater than In any other country. While technical im- provements have made this econ- omically feasible, steadily increas- lng return loads have also contri- buted.

DUST PROOF ROADS PREFER- ABLE

Slr,—Aa a tourist, I would like to make a suggestion for the good of the most. beautiful land I have visit- ed. As I understand the people here, there is a. rumour that a. large sum of money is to be spent on a. “National Park." What. a. waste and a shame when so many young men and women, natives of P. E. I. are sick or dying from tuberculosis. due to the dust. from bad roads that cover their homes, fill their lungs with it when they sleep, and breathe. Nothing else la causing it than irritation from so much dust. It is only since automobiles became so plentiful that tuberculosis has tn- creued. They cause more dust. to spread than wagons. or any horse-

drawn carriage. But still some peo- .

ple t.l1l.nk a. National Perl: is need- ed more than good roads. Tourlsts would rather drive thxough the

beautiful country on good roads-

than see a. park. Asxa. rule they see all the parks they want before com- ing here. Put in more sanitary conditions, give the young B chance to grow up, wipe out the “white plague" with good roads, better sewer conditions, and better medlcal supervision, spend money on health conditions, not beauty. The Island is pretty enough, forget. your parks. 1 am, Sir. etc, A “TOUEIB'l."’

ELECTRIC LIGHT PROBLEM

Sl.r,—In 1927 the Legislature gave the Maritime Electric Co. the right. and privilege to supply electric energy for llghtlng, heating and motive power throughout the Pro- vince. This was not the starting of rural electrlflcutlon for previous to that date several sections of the Province enjoyed the benefits of electricity and the Legislature pro- vided that the Maritime Electric Company must. not compete in these pre-occupied areas.

It. would be interesting to know to what. extent the Maritime Elect- rlc Company took advantage of the privilege which it thus obtained. Nine years have now passed and very little has been done by the Company in pmvldlng rural elec- trification. D/ldently the Company simply wanted the privilege or fran- chlrse to keep other persons and cor- poratlons out or else the Company merely wanted it. as an additional asset to add to the value of its hold- ings here and to help it In the nialntenance of rates higher than are justlfled.

In the rural sections the Company are merely skimming the cream of the buslnwa. They should not, be allowed to do this and the time has arrived to demand that their fran- chise over the whole Province should be forfeited, A voked and made void. It. must. be remembered that electric production and fstrlbutton 15 a pub- lic utlllty and cannot be allowed to remain dormant in a foreign owned corporation.

There is also a duty incumbent. on the- Public Utility Board to make investigation on the rates charged to rural customers for it is my opm. lon that there should be no discrim- lnatlon as between urban and rural customers. I now that in the past there always has been a difference between the two rate schedules, but that day is dlsappearlng for the general governmental policy now ls to have rural rates low enough to stimulate the widest possible use of clectrtclty on farms.

The purpose of this letter 1.; to stress the Importance of "rural electrification." They have had ft. in Ontario for years. That. is one reason why Ontario is the rtclieat and most progressive Province in Canada. It Ls now the settled policy of both political parties in Quebec. Here is a clipping taken from last Rrldayls Montreal Star: "The Que- boc Electricity Commlsston today ordered the Shawlnlgan water and Power Company and the Gatineau Power Company "in distribute elee. trlelty to farmers residing loath of I-llnralrle between Ohamhly and st.

This will take about 38 miles of dlstrlbutlon llnes for about 160 farmers at 9. cost. of $30,000, That, is at. the rate of about $1,200 a mlle. and, I venture to assert, that our l_vla.t-ltlme Company have the Is. lands rural llnes charged up at 5 much higher rate.

At the same time, a shortage of skilled labor is reported both in Canada. and the milled states, especially in the construction industries and auto- motive trades. Miss Parsons states that one of the science depart- ments at A Canadian university has to call In a hlghly—skllled Ger- man to make the delicate adjust- ments on its very fine instruments. An engineering department de- pends for ftne repair work on an- other European-trained Worker, 8 Czechoslovakian. The truth seems to be that, in this country, we are training too many white-collar workers, and not enough skllled craftsmen; too many business “executtves" and not enough people who know 8 business thoroughly.

Returning to the question with which aha started. Mlss Parsons concludes that the answer should depend on ablllty, aim and capac- ity no pay. In other words. the student's choice should be based

on his mental capacity, Intellectual interests, plans for future work and the sacrifices (financial or other- wise) involved In securing a college education. She admits that college- tralned people are riecewary, but believe that we would be far bet- ter of if our universities were not clogged with vast numbers of mis- fits, who can‘t. cope with the work. or amen’-t interested in the work. or are there only through the mis- take of thinking that it leads somewhere that it doesn't. There is still plenty of scope for good teach- era—or good doctors—or good law- yers: but ft is ridiculous for swarms of young people to invade our unl- versltles with the misplaced idea that they are all going to emerge lo the professions.
