Rural Electrification

Further extension of rural clectrifica-I tion in this Province is a matter of great! interest an(l importance. Recent discus-l sions between Prcmier Matheson and the manager of the Maritime Electric Com- pany, Mr. Ainsworth, have resulted in an undertaking: to proceed with the servicing: of the largest populated area still unpro- vided for. from Montrnsc through Tignishl to Tignish Shore. witll the prospect of, working: out mutually satisfactory arrange? ments for other areas in the near future. if this call he done it will nvoiti the obvious difficulties of Government ownership, and! the necessity of implementing the wide powers of expropl'i.'ltion. finance. operation. and regulation in the matter of electricity! given under the Power Commission Actl as amended at the last session of the Leg-; it-lature. I

The Company will. of course. be sub- ject to the control of the. Public Utilities Commission as to rates ill the new areas asl in others; but there is certainly more to he gained by co-operation with private en-y tcrprise than by exercising socialistic pow-, ers of government ownership and regula-3 tion except as a last resource. In this, at; in other matters. moderate policies are to-' be preferred, so long as the end result can' be obtained. The objective is rural elec- trification at rates which our farmers can; afford, covering eventually every section of the Province, and with as little further delay as possible. Premier Mathcson is; hopeful of the possibilities of the prescntl move in this respect. and has expressed his appreciation of the Company's attitude ini meeting the Government proposals half war. 3

Korean Armistice

Agreement on terms for the release, of Prisoners-of-War was reached in Koreal on Monday and there seems to he nothimll further to prevent an armistice.

The al-I most three-year-old conflict comes to an end with little or no gains for anyone: which is after all the objective. of thc Un-j ited Nations in opposing aggression. It; would have been agreeable for the Republici of Korea to have acquired sovereignty ovel” the whole of horea and other nations willl hope that such a unification can be broughti about. That it has not been accomplished by forcn of arms is fortunate rather thani otherwise for U. N. principles.

The mutual defence pact offered to the R. 0. K. by President Eisenhower is a, clear notification to Communist China thatf the L'nited States is not giving up its prin-

sents. The Committe is sponsored in Can-

lCanadian Universities, and

cooperation with the co-chairmen and,mem-

,will get under way with an analysis of the,

lljnited States. Efforts

which the Committee unofficially repre-'

ada by the Canadian Education Association in cooperation with the Canadian Teachers' Federation and the National Conference of in the United States by the American Council on Educa- tion.

It is expected that the study, which will be developed over the next several months by the research director working in close

bers of the Canada-United States Commit- tee, will result in a report which will have broad implications for the improve-' mcnt of curricular materials including texti books for the schools and colleges of each country. It is anticipated that the study

works of statesmen and historians, sociolc-i gists, and other scholars as well as a study of popular and semi-popular writings and declarations, which will suggest what ideals and values are operative in Canada and the to appraise the ex-p tent to which people of the two countries are actually aware of these common ideals

and values will follow. The Canada-Unitedi States Committee on Education expects: that the study will assist it and other organ-; which i

izations in developing procedures will help make these values more influen-

tial in the thought and action of people of i &

the two countries. coronation Picture With Coronation Day impressions still fresh in mind. a full-length film record of the event, in technicolor, is being flown from England and will be shown locally this week in the Prince Edward and Capitol Theatres, starting tomorrow. In a wire re- ceived by the manager, Mr. George Wal- ters, from Lieutenant Governor Prowse, His Honour stated that the beautiful Coro- nation C0lOtll'S--Fed, white and gold-along the streets and ill the Abbey, together with the solemnity and impressiveness of the scene, the enthusiastic cheering for the Queen and the popularity enjoyed by the Duke of Edinburgh. were among the fea- tures which most impressed him. The film story-a Rank production entitled "A Queen Is Crowned”-has sought to capture these and other details in gorgeous panor- ama. The famous Shakespearian actor, Sir Laurence Olivier, will be heard as narrator, and many other distinguished artists have collaborated to make the film the greatest national achievement of its kind. The Spencer Company is to be congratulated upon obtaining it so promptly for Char- lottetown.

CON CEBAKG

In my view there is nothing in the world of Nature more pleasing to the eye or more helpful to the. spirit than it clear, clean, running, stream. It it be one where there

is there and there 3 lusty tmut", so much the better. But it is tihe

stream itself that bears on its way

messages of freedom and joyful-

ness for all iv-hose ears are not

closed to the finer accents of crea-

tion.

There are times, of course, when

the best behaved stream gets 3

till muddy. The heavy rains are

too much for its accustomed tidi-

nsss and for a little while, per-

haps a few days, its sparkling

beauty is c-hscured. It. is but It, transitory disarray, however. and: soon the stream is back to its nor-

mal purity, ready and eager to do! its share in justifying Mr. Words-i wrlrth's tribute: "Nature never did betray the heart that loved her."

. . .

I thought of this poetic line on 5. recent afternoon whet; I visited A. favourite stream for the first time this year and found it had been desecrated. Instead of its former sparkling waters there was gravelled drabness. miles and miles of it. What was once one of the best. trout shrelims in the Province is nowlthe helpless victim of a steam shovel. '

No doubt, the desecration is be- ing done in the name of expediency. There is nothing' original in that. for most. desecration: can find some measure of self-justification. For myself (needless to say I speak for no one else) I find it incre- dible that any government would Dernut the polluting of a river or stream under any prctcxt whatso- ever. If it can be done in one place it can be done in another as soon as some excuse can be found for it. The logical and almost. inevit- able result, and that within B. few years. will be dirty. gravel - iii- fested streams from one end of the Island to the other. Mean. while, a. few maids may be will.
