Reporting on its study of [wool ‘fabrics, the Tariff Board says that the Canadian woolen textile in- . dustry requires some additional help in ,'order to survive. Its recommenda- tion is that the existing tariff be in- , creased by 20 per cent on 0. wide . range of items, affecting imports f from the United Kindom. This means i that the Canadian consumer will have - to pay more for his woolen cloth and , it will, of course, be more difficult for ' British woolen textiles to enter Can- ada. It is said that 19'woolen indust- ries, employing some 6,000 persons, 2 mostly in Quebec and Ontario, are in need of this protection. On the other hand are 17,000,000 Canadian con- sumers, some of whom were no doubt - influenced to vote for the Diefenbak-V . or Government on its platform of in- creased trade with Britain. , The_Tariff Board’s wool report'ls . being “carefully studied” by the Gov- » liernment. If the result is an increase in tariffs, no matter how little, there ‘is no doubt that scores of other in- dustries, constantly pressing for more A .:' protection, will be encouraged to work A If harder for concessions- Perhaps that 1 ;’was in Prime Minister Diefenbaker’s ; _ idian Manufacturers Association in 0'3 Montreal last week. Speaking in gen- feral terms, he warned his hearers . against demands “which will give‘ rise to increase in prices and the cost I. jof production.” Management, he said, Zshould seek “new levels of efficien- jicy”. Canada’s economy must be kept “open, competitive and dynamic.” 5- The Tariff Board's proposal is hardly in line with these admoni- "‘: tions. It comes, moreover, within a 1 few months of the time when a new I Commonwealth economic conference 5 .-will be held in Ottawa for the pur- é pose of enlarging trade. A gesture in the direction of protectionism is hard- ; -. ly likely to encourage the delegates ' ‘to that assembly. Manitoba Eleclibn . A record number of candidates are 7 running in the Manitoba provincial general election, which has been call- ' ed for June 16. Both major parties, to judge by the number of entries, ,i are making a more determined effort . this year than in 1953 when 47 Liber- ' . sis and 88 Conservatives were nomin- 1 seats. The CCF‘, which ran only 25 .:_'- larger slate this year. Social Credit, on the other hand, is running a mere . -ll handful compared with the 42 nomin- ,_7 ated in 1953." g “It would be pleasant to report," 5 say the Winnipeg Free Press, “that _ the larger number of candidates re- 3 fleets a lively interest on the part of. the public in the election. But that is far from beingthe case. So far, at least, the campaign has been low-key- ed. Meetings have been small, speech- es dull, audiences apathetic.” This lack of public interest the Free .Press attributes to‘ the “surfeit of J‘ politics, speeches and elections in the ‘ past year” to which Manitobans, like other Canadians, have been subjected. Nevertheless, the June election is ex- tremely important to the province. Perhaps it will warm up yet before polling day. ' ' I3 l l Political Bickering A lot of angry talk has been going on in the Commons on the subject of the economic recession and what the Government is doing .{ to reverse it. Prime Minister Diefen- baker and Works Minister Green claim that the Government has pro- v virled “hundreds of thousands of Jobs“, while Liberal leader Pearson and his chief lieutenant Paul Martin "2119 that the public works program has done little or nothing towards me“-ll-Y‘-E The demand for employ. mom. in fact, Mr. lvlartin went so far on one occasion as to question whether the program has put to work even one man who, otherwise, would have been ilnolnploynd There is, of course, much polllica_l cant on each side in this controversy, The truth is probably somewhere be- tween two views. There it no 4! _.........r«.,g-..:.s~..~.'....;-...._ T‘ ' ' _ ,~, mind when he addressed the Cana- j ated to contest the province's 57 ' .' candidates five years ago, has a much _ V doubt that governmental expendi- tures on public works have helped to improve the economic situation, but not nearly as much as Govern- ment spokesmen claim. Politicians of both sides are entitled to uphold their claims and counter-claims. arguments and rebuttals, in the best way they know. They should be re- minded, however, that unemploy- ment is too grave a matter to be allowed indefinitely to remain the subject -of political bickering. The Government needs to be re- minded that much of its announced program is of a long term nature. This does not detract from its value; but it does indicate the need for every possible weapon that can be brought immediately into the fight against economic instability. Much of the upswing in employment figu- res is due. not to anything the Government-has done but simply to seasonal factors which will not con- tinue ‘ to be favourable after the summer months. Opposition leaders, on the other hand, need to be re- minded .that they, too, ‘have a re- sponsibility in this matter. Gloating or near’-gloating over unemployment, for purposes of political strategy, is no substitute for counsel and wise criticism. . The summer, with its normal oc- cupational opportunities, is gliding by. The main problem facing the Government and, to a certain extent, all members of Parliament, is .to insure, as far as is possible, that there will not be a further slump . when autumn arrives. Story Of Triumph There is another story of triumph of the spirit and mind over physical handicaps--this one from Chicago. It concerns Dr. Bradley Burson who lost most of his sight in a childhood accident. Now, at 40 years of age he is director of one of the nation's most important research projects at Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago. As such he delves into the intricate mysteries of radioactive isotopes and the like. He is con- sidered one of the top physicists in that particular field’ in the ‘United , States. From childhood Bradley Burson has been capable of seeing only light and dark shadows and these, a re- port says,. are not clearly defined. Despite the serious handicap, he worked way through a law school and; laten through science studies at the University of Illinois, by using Braille. ' EDITORIAL NOTES .The valed-ictorian at Commence- ment Exercises at Mount St. Mary’s College in Emmitsburg, Md., has a special reason for. treasuring memory . of the occasion.

Henri Blanchard, LL. 1). (Continued from yesterday) in the year 1751, Colonel Fran- quet. an Officer of Engineers, was sent by France to superin- tend the new fortifimions which were planned for Loulilsburg and to plan a system of defences for all the French possessions. From July to September he visited all the important points in Isle Saint-” Jean. He prepared an elaborate report which was sent to the Minister of the Colonies at Paris. On August 3: 1751, Franquel entered the harbour of port La- joie. He was delighted by the ap- pearance of the beautiful har- bour with' its three large rivers emptying into it. On August 9th. he set out to visit St. Petem and other points on the North Shore. For this journey he took a barge with six rowers up the East river. He noted that sent- lers were establishing themselv- es on both sides of the river. The crops seen from the river were flourishing in the new rich soil. Opposite what is now Scotch- fort. he landed. and was welcom- ed by Sleur Joseph Nicolas Gau- thier; ancestor of the Ga-uthiers of Rustico, and Sieur Armand Bugeau; Franq-uet walked around Gauth~ier’s cleared lands and new fields hearing wheat. oats, peas and many kinds of V(:‘getla.ble‘s. such as be had not seen surpass- ed in the most fertile parts of France. CONSULTED BY SETTLERS The fol»low1'-ng morning, a num- ber of settlers from both sides of the river waited on him to consult as in the site for a church, the question was as to which side of the river it should be b1n'll:. Franquet agreed to act as umpire. but -asked all those interested to rnoot him at Gan thier's on his return journey, when he would hear the differ- ent views and decide. He then embarked and ascend- ing the stream saw a brook on which one of the pioneers harl mwzrled a :5a\.\'|1fIlll, I-"nr‘l*l1er on he came to the Plsmnd M‘?-r xvltll settlers on both banks. tin, sr., Pierre ‘ll/larllin, in. Paul Martin and Bartelemi Martin. These Martins are the ancestors lAmong , these settlers were Pierre Mar-p of the Martins of Rustlcol. This was one of the older selratlemen-ts. Each farmer had ample live- stock and raised all that their needs required. Franquet re- marked admiringly, “Life in such a place could not be otherwise than agreeable." Three miles above the present Mount Stewart, Colonel Franquet -put up at an inn kept by a widow named Gentil (She was the wid- ow of Jean-Baptiste Gallant. son of Michel-Hache Gallant. ances- tor of all the Galla-nts of the Mar- itime Provincesl. Here Fran- quet admired the line fields of grain about her residence. From this point there was a road through the forest to St. Peter's. It was a very rudimentary road; a species of cart. drawn by ox- en. was the only vehicle that could be put through it. AT THREE RIVERS From St. Peter's he journeyed to Three Rivers (Georgetown). He W345 greatly impressed by the splendid harbour and by its great potential importance as a sea- pont. Nature here had done her ultmost, but the land was a wild- erness and there was no sign of population. Brudenell Point it- self, from which the wood had been cleared, had not a building standing. . It would seem that Franquet returned to St. Peter’s by way of a road through the forest from Brudenell Point to St. Peters and then along the coast up to St. Peter's Harbour. This settle- ment was one of the oldest in the colony. The farms were large and bore crops that Fnanquet had never surpassed.

It interfered with their school work. in- creased nervousness. caused eye fatigue, dist-unbed their eating habits and cut down on their reading. Recently. Dr. Paul Witty, professor of education at North- western University, reported that an eight-year study shows these problems either have been corrected or are diminish- ing. However, doh‘t think of the television set as a convenient electronic baby sitter. You must-—alnd I want to empha- size lihis—regula-te your child’: vielwinlg halbits. To do this properly, of course, you have to regulate your own TV practices. Your viewing habits, remember, help greatly to detenrnine how your young- ster re-aots to television. In far too many homes, I'm. afraid, the TV set is the focus of family life. lf you dawdle away your time needlessly be- fore the TV screen. you can expect your child to do the same.
