Tomorrow 5 By-electron Tomorrow's by-election in the First District of Queens will not materially affect the partv standing in the Legislature. now 26 to 3, but It will be of interest as showing whether the Government has gaincd or lost in popular support since the general election of Iilay lElTv.'u. On that occasion the late Liberal occupant of the seat. Hon. W. I-'. A Stewart. polled 1361 votes again--t 1413 for his Conservative opponent. Mr. Frank Myers. Mr. Myers is running this time against Mr. How- ard Wood. and both contestants have been making a vigorous cam- paign. ,

From the standpoint of legisla- tive support, the Government could well afford to lose a seat and the Opposition is certainly in need of replenishing its forces. Top-heavy majorities have disadvantages for both parties. But this is not an is- sue on which campaigns are usually fought. Since the Government has put up I candidate it will doubtless do its best to insure his election. Apart from the local issues in- volved, there is interest in the ef- fect, if any, which the recent Con- servative sweep in the federal field will have in this contest. Certainly It has aroused Conservative hopes and given added zest to the cam- paign. It has underlined also the old truth that elections, whatever the prophets may say. are as un- sure as horse races.

The voters. it is to be hoped, will turn out in full force tomorrow. If they do that. and vote conscien- tiously, they will have perform- ed a duty just as important as if the fate of Canada were at stake. Nor is there any more excuse for apathy in the one case than in the other. Democracy presupposes an alert electorate in every constitu- ency, and on every occasion when the priceless privilege of the ballot is being exercised. First Queens enjoys a good reputation in this respect. and we have no doubt but that it will continue to do so.

The Women's Institutes

From the start the Prince Edward Island Women's Institutes proved I going concern. and the organization has now become a synonym for initiative, public spirit and successful management. The forty-fourth annual convention of the Institutes is being held today and Thursday in the Prince of Wales College hall and the pro- gramme is of more than usual in- terest in view of the list of speakers and subject matters slated for dis- cussion. This morning's opening session will include the presentation of reports by the president, super- visor and others and an address of welcome by His Worship Mayor Stewart. Dr. Doris Boyle. of St. Francis Xavier l'-niversity, will be among the speakers at the after- noon session, which will conclude with a reception at- Government House. This evening's public meet- ing will be addressed by Major Gen- eral llatton. Deputy Civil Defense Co-ordinator, Ottawa. and will in- clude an -intemational exchange program and greetings from the Minister of Agriculture. Hon. Mr. Cullen. There is also I well-filled agenda for tomorrow morning and Iftemoon.

The Women's Institutes now have about 320 branch organiza- tions throughout the Province, with Imembershlp of some 5,000. and In pnrtlclmtlng actively on all kvch, nrtlatlsrly in matters If- foctlm emanation, public health Ind rural development. They have

Logical Contention

A fortnight or so ago the United Nations Command in Korea (which, for all practical purposes. means the L'nited States Government) an- nounced that its forces would be a u g m e n t e d by modern fighter planes and improved weapons to offset the arms build-up by the Coniniunists. The decision was said to be "irrevocable".

Immediately, North Korean dele- gates on the Korean Armistice Commission complained that the move was a flagrant breach of the armistice agreement and could not be tolerated. Following the ex- pression of this view. ”Democratic Korea", the official organ of the North Korean Governnierit, edi- torialized thusly: "The Korean peo- ple cannot ailow to run free a wolf who is injuring them and plans fur- ther injury to them. Thc.V ("("m0t permit new weapons to be I)l'0llEht in. The United States must not for- get this rigid truth. If it forgets the lessons of the Korean war. ignores the changes in the situation today, destroys the armistice agree- ment and again starts I-war, it is like digging your own Zl"dV9- we can under no conditions permit anv alteration whatsoever in the Kor- ean armistice agreement". Since then, North Korean officials Ital? threatened the Yniled 313195 I” similar vein.

What has been the effect of all this on American plans? Well. the latest word fi'om Tokyo, whence the planes and weapons were to be dis- patched to South Korea, is that the operation has been delayed for technical reasons and that it might be another two weeks or so before it is put into effect. Meanwhile, the news from Moscow is that North Korea has called the American ”bluff". It suggests that the opera- tion was put off not for ”technical" reasons but out of fear of the con- sequences.

United States' Congressmen are perturbed over this and are urging the President to see that the opera- tion is carried out without further delay. They say it would never do for angry words from North Korea to hinder the carrying out of any American policy once it has been decided upon. Anyone can see the logic of that contention.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Delegates from across the con- tinent have been invited to attend the 20th annual meeting of the Prince Edward Island Credit Union League today. The organization. from a modest beginning. has made phenomenai progress, with sixty Credit. Unions in the Province and a membership of 9,750.

O'Lcary is to be congratulated upon its fine new 27-bed Community llospital, which will be opened of- ficially today. This represents en- terprise of the highest order, and will pay untold dividends in public health in the years to come. The hospital will serve the needs of West Prince but the whole Province will benefit indirectly from its establish- mcnt.

Prominent business men in the l'nited Staes are urging President Itlisenhower to put the country into the Organization for Trade Co- operation. the executive branch of GA'l'I'. The reason given is that failure to do so might. jeopardize American markets in Western Eu- rope after the proposed European Common Market is set up. It seems likely that this movement will have an adverse effect on American ex- ports in any case.

OTTAWA REPORT Low Cost Homes Problem

By Patrick Nicholson

C.M.H.C. reveals that the aver- age father buying one of these so- called low cost homes last year 1 had an income of 35.312. Yet on- ly one Canadian father in four earned this figure or more. FIGURES SPEAK LOUDLY

The total cost of that average father's new home - that low cost home made possible by the gov- ernment's National Housing Act - was I shattering 314.163. That fi- nancial hlow was softened consid- lerably by I mortgage, Iverging 510.332. But to obtain the key to the door of that house. father had to put down 33,311 cash.

To qualify as In approved bor- rower of mortgage funds under the National Housing Act. father had In show that the principal and interest payments. plus muni- cipal taxes. on his new home would be within his financial means. In other words. he had to have In Ln- come of I size which would carry these charges Ind leave sufficient to buy food. clothes. hydro. fuel oil and other necessaries for the fam- l liy. plus I margin for the garnish

If not. he would have needed I second mortgage. probably ob- tainable only It I discount and at usurious interest. and then his in- come would have needed to be sub- stantially higher to swing the deal. ARE YOU AVERAGE?

Available statistics suggest that there were 3.250.000 fathers of non- farm families in Canada last year. The average father had an income of 34.700. But 26 per cent of those fathers bad man income below the 34.100 needed to swing that Iv- erage mortgage.

How would they have been able to buy I low cost house? The answ- er of course is simply that they could not.

So tho loudly-touted National

Housing Act. intended to make.

lnw cost homes Ivailable for low income Canadians. failed in its task.

Rental of course is not the In- swer. To pay rent on I new home costs more than to buy that home under the N.H.A.

The Inswer Is. and must be. cheIper construction costs. more mortgage funds. lower mortgage interest. and mortgages cover- ing 90 per cent of the home cost.

The government can only Idvise and encourage steps towards cheap or construction costs. But it can and should meet the other objec- lives.

For example. current N.11.A. In- terest rate is 6 per cent. But those mortgages are Insured by the gov- ernment. so they are in effect gov- ernmenl bonds. As such, their pre- sent interest rate is obviously too high. and is higher than on com- parable mortgages in the States. Another point: the government should lengthen the period of re- payment of those mortgages. from the present 25 years to 30 or even 40 years.

Be careful what you drink when you drive.

But with summer holidays and vacations at hand. I think you should give I thought to what you should and should not drink when you're on I long drive.

Take milk. for instance - or, rather. don't take it. Now I've prenched the values of milk for ag- es: you've probably bored with the subject. I've pointed out why you need at least I pint a day.

This rule stl ll applies even though you're on I vacation. How- ever - and here's the difference - when driving'for long hours It

Incidentally. using sugar lll your coffee or tea helps niaintaui your blood sugar level and tends to sat- isfy Iny feeing of liungcr you might develop between meals.
