Austria's Dilemma

The people of Austria want the Amer- icans to go home. Ill fact, they want the British, the French alld the Russians to go home, too. Vienna, it seems, is tired of being the capital of an occupied country. The Austrian Government thinks that ill the occupying forces won't go home oil their own accord, the United Nations ought to be able to do something about it.

Nobody can blame the Austrians for wanting to be a free country. Not since Hitler's triumphal entry into Vienna one Spring day in 1938, while tllc Nazi traitor Seyss-lnquart cheered and strcwed flowers: in his path have the Austrians known free- com.

Probably the American, and British, and French and even Russian troops in Austria would like to go home too. One reason why they haven't done so long ago is that Moscow refuses to reach agreement with

Reward For flood Drivers

Highway patrol officers in Georgia have recently adopted the policy of noting and praising good driving as well as of penaliz- ing misdoing. In some instances, notes an ' exchange, the procedure has involved high- ly humorous reactions from the good dri-' vers, unaccustomed as they are to having anything said about them.

The motorist who has been going along his way doing as well as he knew how is motioned off the highway by the officer: As he pulls over the driver wonders what in the name of tarnation is wrong now. Then the officer remarks politely: "I have been watching you. You have held to a steady speed. You have made all necessary signals. You have obeyed stop signs and

other directives. I want to thank and com- pliment you for helping keep Georgia high- ways safe."

After the praised driver recovers from his first shock of disbelief, he likes it. It is also true that motorists fromlother parts go away profoundly impressed on the credit side with the State of Georgia. The tech-

, Sir,”-May I crave the courtely of your columns to expreu come observation: which occurred to me during my recent visit to Prince Edwxrd Island.

W en I was crossing the Straits. I ltrained my eyes to catch the first glimpse of the Inland. When I saw the red roads, I could not help excleiming: "Thank God, I'm home". My first observation is that Prince Edward Island is the prettiest spot on God's earth. I had always though that England was the prettlcst.eounlry in the world. From Liverpool to London it is Just one long Park. The sheep are the motor-mower thlit keeps the grass down, and the outbuildings are kept in such per- fect order that they do not dis- figure the landscape. But. when I saw the outbuildings on the Island all neatly painted. I came to the conclusion that England had to take second place to Prince Ed- ward lsland, and at that even a very poor second. . i

No one can deny that the Is. land is 'a bit of paradise. Premier Jone: told me the story of a cer- tain American lady who came to the Island on A visit. When she got to Nova Scotla, a friend ask. ed her what she tllouxzht of the Island. She answered: ”Oh, it'll all right and rather pretty. But," she added, Where is eltogelher toe

"Women and the State" is the lively topic that the Canadian Federation of Un- -lverslty Women will develop at its triennial convention at Ottawa this week. The un- ivereity women's choice of such a theme, says the "citizen", is encouraging to those who would like to see Canadian women in a more active role in-public affairs than they presently play.

Mr. J. L. Ralston quitting the King Cabinet during the conscription crisis of 1944. Within a week, oer- talnly no more, half the newspa- per: in Canada had printed des- putches from Ottawa. outlining in detail exactly what had happened inside the cabinet room. some of these went so far as to say where the various ministers were seated, how they had behaved, what they had said and done. It wee obvious then, as it is now. that the Cabinet had leaked at every seam.

The reason why the. problem of the cabinet oath was not openly raised here, an is being reieed now in England. islslmply that Mr. M.- tlee har refused to take Mr. Bevenh action lying down: whereas in Gen- edn.

My first will! of course was to see the old heme at St. Peter”: Harbor and, if polsible. to greet the Presbyterian friend: of my childhood. Unfortunately, it AD' peered that there was not one left in the neighborhood. I can never forget the old School House, when I was the only Catholic boy there. and not a word disrespect- ful af my faith was ever-uttered. I can never forget my dear old Mailer. Bob McEwen, who knew more of Yenni's Grammar than anyone who ever lived and could point out the beauties of the Eng- lish tongue in the old Royal Read- ers in a manner that could not be surpassed. Why should I for- get him, for he did not disguise the fact that I was his pet. I have always maintained, and I have not changed my opinion. that my Presbyterian friends of St. Peter's Harbor were the best Christian body that ever lived. They were not content to go to Divine Service on Sunday: only. but they had a Prayer Meeting on Tuesday hvenlngs, and. belt of all, every blessed one of them attend- ed.
