They were affected by bath drought and grasshoppers‘. Albertas draught damage largely was confined _to_ the eastern section with 7,930 farmers benefitting to the extent of $1,637,306 from the treasury. Only 354 Manitoba farmers will receive P. F. A.

Training in Democracy With new party leaders in Parliament and on election in the offing, the present session pio- niises to be one-of the most lively and interesting in many years. _ An interesting experiment in democratic ac- ‘tion has been instituted in many centres by form- ing local Hansard Clubs, to follow what Parlia- ‘ merit is doing and keep in touch with their M. P.'s on subjects that interest them. v ' A number of such clubs are operating in different parts of the country already, the oldest one in the Hon. Brooke Claxtori's ri ing in Mon- treal, with his close cooperation. Mee ing at each other's homes in turn, the members also take turns acting as "Hansard reporter", making a brief digest of the main topics taken’ up in the Commons during the previous fortnight. After this has been read, the club, which includes peo- ple of several political persuasions, goes into a lively discussion of the issues, and ma-y end up by writing to the M. P. on its views. lf a good two-way contact has been established there may be a reply from the M. P. on a previous letter, to read to the club. This procedure is recommended to our lo- cal political organizations as a first class method of keeping abreast of the times politica-llv, Federal Alil To Education The Toronto Globe and Mail supports the plea for Federal grants to education presented to the Dominion Government last week by the Canadian Teachers‘ Federation, but is not sure that a "straight per pupil grant" offers the best basis for such aid. This, the Toronto paper says is "a moot point." ' To a limited degree the grant per pupil would tend to equalize the educational outlay as between Ontario and, say, Prince’ Edward ls- land, but it would not bridge the great disparity now existing. Ontario, it might be argued, does not need the Federal money to the same extent as some of the Provinces less favored with in- dustrial productivity. ' Federal aid for education is by no means unprecedented, although not on the scale propos- ed by the Canadian Teachers’ Federation. There. Iiave been substantial grants for vocational edu- cation since 1919, paid by special agreement with the Provinces. At present, the ba-sic grant is $10,000 a year to each Province, plus ,$1,910,000 divided among the Provinces accord- ing to their population between fifteen and nine- tepn years of age. This contribution has to be matched by the Province. A further postwar grant of $10,000,000 for capital expendituks has also been made. This must be spent before March, 1952. In addition, grants for veterans’ training, apprenticeship, youth training, unemployed ci- viiion Frainlng, and other purposes are made by the Dominion. Bursaries for needy students in secondary and vocational schools, universities, teacher-training and other educational institu- tions are also supported by the Federal Govern- Itlifl f. ‘ These Federal contributions, especially on the university level, amount to many millions on- ntmIIyQThe principle of Dominion aid has long been recognized, and might be pushed further with advantage. But it would be unwise for the federal authority‘ to assume any large part of if“ educational burden given the Provinces by "., British North America Act until the Domin- “fell-Provincial Conference on Finance has been fpcefivened, and has reached satisfactory and ' pbrmanent arrangements. Withabolanced and democratically accepted ‘allocation of the tax Wield‘! to the Dominion, Provinces and municipali- cmany of our difficulties would be substan- . lessened. . Educational taxation on the local level is tlleffolivtr-ef exhaustion. Most Provincial sub- ' 1m» increased, but manifold other put a limit to what may be done, es- h1 tllI less-favored Provinces.

He wrote The Evolution at Large, Evolution 0f the Idea of God, The Woman Who Did, and numer- ous other novels. ‘I The matter of delegating government au- thority and responsibilities to crown compan- ies is clothed in someobscurity. Perhaps as Seno- tor John T. Haig said of runiiipg the Bank 0f Canada, "There's nothing to if , and anybody could run them, but it seems more ilikely that ability will still be at a premium. e Solon Low (P.C.)TM.'P. declared in the House that on a recent visit to England he was served with breakfast food which tasted like oatmeal and sand, and tha't though he had previous exl-I perienced eating haggis "this was much worse. He was immed-iately called to order by Deputy Speaker Ross Macdonald, who felt he had a right to resent the reflection on the national dish of his forbears.‘ _ Commander Stephen King-l-lall, founder of Britain's Hansard Society, is visiting this coun- try in the interest of the Canadian Hansard So- ciety, organized last year. Canadians have not taken to reading Hansard, only some 12,000 cop- ies are printed daily, but with the growth of groups interested in education and public af- fairs that situation could rapidly change. a w The Montreal Gazette reports Mr. George Drew as expressing deep concern over Transport Minister Chevrier’s statement that Gander air- port must conform with Canadian air policy. The unfortunate result of such a stand will be to prevent planes of other countries from picking up or landing ,. ssengers or cargo at that air- port. The international traffic of Gander will be one with Maritime pro-confederation shipping. Agricultural Minister Gardiner notwithstand- ing, Free Trade by Canado is not a panacea for all our trading drawbacks. There must be similar policies by the other countries too, as he adm-its. The trouble in I930, and previously, was Canada was giving access to foreign imports while the U.S.A. and European countries were taxing or prohibiting ours. This is what made Prime Minis- ter Bennett enunciate a policy of "Hoisting our way" into foreign markets, leading to the Ot- tawa Conference, and the subsequent tariffs which prepared the way for Canada's prosperity when the Liberals came into power. c» a n w- a The reference in the Speech from the Throne to "the birth of a Prince who is Heir Apparent" is erroneous. According to the ErrLyClOPGEdlO Britannica, an Heir Apparent is one "whose right of inheritance is indefeasible: e. 9., an eldest or only son." "lndefeasible" is a law term signify- ing "incapable of being defeated, set aside, or made void." An Heir Presumptive is one "who is next in succession, but whose right is defensible by the birth of a nearer heir." The last Heir Ap- parent to the British Throne was the Prince of Wales, n-ow Duke of Windsor. The Princess Elizabeth is Heir Presumptive, and her son Prince Charles is Second-in-line Heir Presumptive. n- a Hon. Mr. Gardiner claims that protection leads to war. For argument, granted that is so, how are we going to compel highly pratectionists to abandon their way without resorting to repris- ails? The next war will be fought largely in the air, how can we do so without oil? Control of the oil fields today lies in the hands almost ex- clusively of Britain, U. S. A., Canada and Rus- sia. Should the Soviet control of the East ex- pand ot the rate it is now doing, both Britain and the U. S. A. will be shut out of the Eastern cil supply, and what are these two dominant na- tions going to do about it-sit idly by and let Russia swoof the pool? Grandiose declarations like those of Mr. Gardiner sound fine in the ears of the unthinking, but it is another story whdn the enemy is at our door as was the case in 1939 before the Mackenzie King government would grant the R. A. F.‘ permission to train in Canada. i e A group of Britain's 1949 babies, though they don't know it yet, will be guineapigs in what may prove to be one of the world's most important experiments hi child care. They will be shadowed from the day nursery until they leave school and every step in their development will be, noted and filed. United Kingdom psychol- ogists, education experts, teachers and doctors will follow them in their homes, schools and youth clubs, watching their habits, mental out- look, growth and development. They will study what matters in a child's life, what causes the impressions and creates the problems — what, in fact, happens to the normal child. Their re- search will form the basis for a report which might well effect child care all over the world. The experts will work at a world training cen- tre forithe care of children which has been es- tablished at Bloomsbury, London, bythe Insti- tute of Child Health and Education. First con- tact with the children will be made at a resi- dential nursery. Later when the children are sent to local schools, the experttywill follow them. A dossier of every child who com-es within the a survey will be kept. ,This is the first complete long-term project of its kind iil Britain. 1 ._ _ _;.. ...e_ rue; __CMQARDIAN, Slflgimqrgrigrowisi WE ARE NOT xmovr cerium imam imdckmo nus esreeusiimeur-vurren ALL, SOLICITING YOUR PATRONAGE/ . _......._ ._.

In reply to Opposition criticism with regard to the omission of farmers’ problems in the ‘I'm-one speech, the Premier sud the Goy- ernment was "kecplrigpretty close to them-ass roots and we believe in helping the farmers with their market-ing and other problems at. all times. We Liberals have al- ways done that and it. ls taken for granted." . Junior Farmers .Wh!1e commending the Junior Farmers’ movement, Premier Jones sounded n. warning with-regard to the rseoesery education and back- ground required for leadership. "If these young men are trying to be leaders while they may be only in the sixth or seventh grades ln school, I em afraid they will be disappointed." he said. "'I'licy should be well educated before they begin to lead people. Educa- tion Ls m extremely important thing, especially in rural commun- ities." . The Premier emphasized flie importance of the short courses now being conducted by the Provin- oilol Department of Education. It was planned to try out correspond- enc, courses under group leader- ship in this connection. There ls a very able body of men at the Experimental Farm. and he be- lieved they could develop e. first clue course of education. "We hope to develop an ediuoa- flonal textbook of our own. and that our farmers will become the best educated farmers ln Canada," he said.

Newfoundland Trade The Premier pictured e revival of the oldtlme schooner traffic be- tween Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland, now that. the latter Province has joined up with the Dominion. "They will want our farm products in increasing quan- tities as they begin to handle more money." he predicted. I-Ie hoped to sec a ferry service abut. very shortly, running at least. weekly to and frcm Corner Brook. in addition to schooner traffic. Boats with farm produce from this Province could sebum from New- foundland loaded with Ilmeslnne which could be ground for agricult- ural use. He was inlet-that llve lobsters oould be sent hm from Now-found- land. placed in pounds 1n Prince Edward Island and shipped to Bos- ton. Ferry Services . Dealing with the Borden carferry service, he said if was hoped to have a jetty built for an auxiliary boat, in aiddltlon ta the existing piers. Nearly 5.000 trucks were ferried lest. year, and this mien-bet might. be increased to 8,000. Lost. year at Wood Islands 6,000 trucks were ferried, and he ventured to predict that. this traffic could be doubled almost immediately if the boats baa suffloleait capacity. "I am bold we will have no better boats there this surrmer. though the time is at. himd when we will have 1o undertake building better boats which will have a. carrying capacity of 50 cars." the Premier: said. "Something will have to be done. ‘Ilhe Government ls aware of the situation and we are pushing the matter es well as we can." Rural Electrification The Government. Premier Jones maintained. was making every. ef- fort to speed up rural electrificat- ion. A vote of two million dollars is available now. It ls proposed to extend ‘the high power tension line from Mt. Pleasant slang the Western Road until it reaches Al- barton‘ at least. Then the com- pany at Alberfon can buy electricity from the Government, vililoh will be metered along the road. The Government can got the cost -of maintenance from the llne. A just price will be ‘determined by tho Utilities Board. The Premier referred to the fli-e at. the Oteary plant. ln which tlie Government Illd a previous investment of $6.400. "We went in to protect ‘our investment and in less ‘than three, days we rind electricity on the wires again and the plant in operation by a oom- rnlltee of citizens who handled the project very intelllgontlyl I would trope that that committee can continue w vnndle it. and buy their-electricity et coat off the rein line. v “With the Mnrltlme Electric , y on the job, I claim that not es much could have been done if the Government had taken over the Hole electric power problem ln this Provbsce." the Premier uld.
