we were a little surprised to read that the Montague Prim- roses took a four-goal cushion in

their first game with the Milton

Hornets. We had been led to be- lieve that this year's Milton ag-

gregation was a hard-hitting. fast gkaliiig. deadly shooting band of

year. he said. whereas that of -ll?-in ll 90 Pounds: of the Scan- dinavian countries 50. pounds and of the united kingdom to pounds.

The member for Prince said he did not expect that Canada would ever become a flsli-con- sumlns country on the scale of Great Britain and Scandinavia. On the other hand. the depart- ment felt that even an increase of three or four pounds of fish per person per year would mean that the total catch as now land- ed. would be marketed with'-no difficulty.

The luncheon began with s del- icious bisque made from Prince Edward Island Lobsters. There followed marittime flatflslt bak- ed in milk. salmon from British Columbia and a green salad con- taining shredded cod from New- foundland. .

Cabinet duties did not permit Mr. Sinclair to attend the inn- cheon but he c' ' J his chair as host to Mr. MscNaught.

We have a sort of special feeling for the greenshlrts because we were responsible for putting the "St. Pat" moniker on them. It W35 3 good many years ago. and we were doing a little amateur sports writing down in the old open-air Cape Traverse rink. We wrote up the game. but when we were setting it ready for the mall, we suddenly membered that we hand't thought to ask anybody the name of the team from Albany. They were wearing green sweaters. so we called them "St. Pats." Apparently they accepted that name. and have played hockey under it ever since. Not so long before that we had seen our first N.H.L. game be- tween the Ottawa Senators and the Toronto St. Pats. Babe Dye. Reg Noble. the Dennenay broth- ers. and the inventor of the poke check. Frank Nlghbour. were playing in that game. 0

We think that in sport. as well as in other things. the old slogan "the customer is always right" can be carried to an undesirable extreme. Without condoning the action of players who mix it up with the fans. we think, some. times at least, they have consid. arable provocation. Ushers should act as patrols to put the finger on those customers who pass the borderline of decency in their at. tempts to goad the players to acts of retaliation. Offenders should be removed from the rinks. and if caught a second time. banned for the season from the particular areas concerned. On the other hand. of course, it seemstobeanocassarypartof the mental equipment of athletes that they are able to restrain their natural impulses to com- mit mayhem on those objection- able onlookers.

Nuiionulisf Guerrillas Said To Be Fleeing

By David Chipp

LOI TUNG. Burma, (Reuters)- A new Burmese army offensive against 5.000 Chinese Nationahst guerrillas is forcing many of them to flee into Laos. Burmese intel- ligence said Wednesday.

The frontier of Laos. one of the three lndochlna states. is 100 miles from this town on the Burma-Thailand border. captured from the guerrillas two days ago. SAY IT'S "PLO'l'I'ING"

The Pciplng People's Daily ac- cused the United States Wednes- day of dispatching large numbers of Chinese Nationalist "bandits" into northern Laos to link up with Nationalists in Burma for s fu- turn invasion of Communist China. It said the United States "must bear full responsibility for the consequences of those military plots."

A spokesman for the munist Pathet Lao re govern- ment in northern Laos said Tues- day 3.000 Chinese Nationalist troops had infiltrated the Laotian provinces of Samneua and Phong- uly-and "plundered the popula- tion." lfe accused the United States of violating the Geneva ar- mistice by ordering the troops into northern Laos.

He urged French and Laotian authorities to force tho National- ists' withdrawal.

Reference was nude by Mr. MacDonald to a privata member of the House receiving a cheque for the construction of a school and the ensuing publicity that this incident received throulh the press. as situated that in the future the Minister of Education make out such cheques without any suggestion of politics.

Speaking on the subject of eco- nomic recession Mr. MacDonald noted that the gross national Pro- duction was down thus causing a decrease in revenue of 3170.000. He referred to the fact that the health tax made up from litil101' and tobacco sales was always un- derestimated by the Provincial Treasurer but said that for the coming year hel had taken a more realistic view to the effect "that the Island is going to drink and smoke themselves to good health" to I greater degree this year.

running the risk of being run over by automobiles. I cannot under- stand why a young man would not be willing to take hold of a piece of land and make a good living off it."

Mr. Savillo made a strong plea for improvement of roads in his district admitting at the same time that he had received fair treatment from the Department of Public Works. He also urged the extension of rural electrifica- tion to many of the areas. Speak- ing of Boughton Island he said that at one time this Island was a rich farming area populated by several families but due to lack of communication it is now uninhabited. " use of this he strongly urged that telephone and electric power be extended to Panmure Island. iltherwise a re- petition of retirement from this area might ensue. He asked the Government to build a paved road from Murray River to Wood Islands. ''If the Wood Island's Ferry is for the Eastern end of the Island. than we want to be given a good road to get to it."

In concluding. Mr. Ssville said that he had sat in the House for 1) years without missing a session. "I try to be miihful to my constituency and to do my best." He felt that it was im- portant for a member to get out through his district to find out the needs of the people. in this respect. he said that he spent more than half his time during the summer months. He deplor- ad the idea of "starving a dis- trict that had elected an Opposi- tion member" and expressed the hope that when the election is past petty politics will be for- gottan and all the electors will be treated with equality.

in recent years. every time the Government finds ii. in- advisable to accede to the teach- srs' request for an increase in salaries, one ofiifs spokesman sn- nounccs that our Government is giving more. proportionately. to teacher.' salaries than any other Provincial Government in Can- ada. This is doubtless true. or they wouldn't announce it. But. if the government is making this conspicuous contribution. and yet tesche .' salaries on P. E. I. re- main the lowest in Canada. It follows. does it not. that the con- tributlon of the school districts must be away below normal. The reason for this is probably that the districts feel they are unable to bear the financial burden that would give the teachers salaries to compare at all favorably with their fellow workers In the rest of the Dominion. or even in the other Atlantic coast provinces. U I O

The basic concept of education is that poor families. as well as rich. be given bv the state equal nnnnrtiinlties for nrlfwatlon. in the snlrlt of this concept - "free schools" were introduced into our educational svstem. one of the greatest fni-ward steps in our ad- vancinn civilization. Now. if this concept is sound In regard to poor families and rich families, why is it not equally true in the case of poor and rich provinces? Why should education be kept at a low level for want of adequate facilities in a poor province? if equality of educational opportun- ity is a good thing in a town or city. should it not be also good in a dominion such as Canada? The flimsy excuse that federal grants will poke .federal fingers into the provincial educational pie still persists. however. and until we get rid of this huizbear. ed- ucational inequaliiv will continue to be the rule in Canada.
