WEDN 1-zsifavfa any '29.-1955 School Closing So far as an lTTlDOl'i'cllll section of our population is concerned, school closing is the big event of the year, and the prelimin- ary hurdles, in the way of examinations, serve but to whet the enthusiasm of the younger fry for the carefree days ahead. They are not so carefree for harassed parents, but who would have it otherwise? Youth comes only once, and perhaps the saddest spectacle in life is a man orwvoman who has had no real youth, no period of blissful irresponsibility to look back upon But schooling is far from being the whole of education. Hours of idleness can be fruitful too. Sports and camp activities. and all that goes with outdoor enjoyment under a summer sun. contribute more than health and happiness to a growing child. They develop initiative and intellectual curiosity, sportsmanship and experience in communal activities of many kinds, which are by no means lacking in educational value because they take the name of games. Nowhere in Canada are there better fa- cilities for vacationing than in Prince Ed- ward Island, and this applies to school children as well as to our summer visitors. It is to be hoped that during the coming '4 weeks and months, safety precautions in ' water sports and other outdoor activities will be kept in mind. A recent tragic drown- ing accident emphasizes the need for pro- hibiting children swimming in dangerous areas. We have an abundance of safe beaches, and the holiday season will be a happier one for all concerned if they are utilized exchisively. I Refugees 'H'lO Division of Inter-Church aid and Service to Refugees is I social agency of the World Council of Churches. As its I name implies I is concerned mainly with the resettlement of European refugees; this, of course, i quite apart from similar work carried on by various governments. Dr. Edgar Chandler, the Divisions execu- tive director, recently made a report in which he stated that he is confident that the reiisief resettlement, which has been lagging for some time, will be stepped up during the coming year. In 1954, 9,525 refugees were given new homes by the World Council agency. 0!! the whole programme of refugee resettlement-including direct placements by governments-Dr. Chandler reported that Canada came first among the 40 na- tions participating by accepting 9,589 per- sons. Australia came second with 2,298, Brazil third with 1258, and the United States fourth with 1229. This is one branch of world service, at any rate, in which this country is playing I leading role. "Meanwhile", Dr. Chandler said, "those less fortunate refugees remaining in camps awaiting emigration or resettlement, not knowing what the future holds, are the con- stant responsibility of the Service to Ref- ugees. It is for these people that the spir- itual care which I church organization can supply is especially important. Last. year about 400 'hard core' cases were placed in church institutions in Belgium, Italy, Sweden. Great Britain, the Nether- lands, and France". A special problem for agencies dedicat- ed to this work, according to Dr. Chandler, is presented by the 41.000 "unrecognized" refugees from East Germany now living in Berlin. A special six-man team has been set up by the Inter-Governmental Commit,- tee on European Migration to visit these refugees, determine their needs and the possibilities for their resettlement. The team includes two representatives of the World Council, two Roman Catholic of- ficials, and two German Evangelical Church leaders. Man Made Diamonds Fantastic scientific tools that quickly simulate Nature's age-long processes now bring marvels in transmutations that an- cient slchemists groped for but "W97 achieved. Working with man-made tem- peraturcs and pressures equal to those 240 miles deep in the'earth. General Electric research scientists have created a diamond. the hardest gem, prized for its beauty and industrial uses.

Performing tests on carbon, the main ingredient of plentiful coal and the sole constituent of diamonds, experiment- ers claimed success in 1893 and 1906 in manufacturing miscroscopic diamonds. In trying to create other gems, labora- tories sought in a few months to mimic forces of Nature extending over millions of years. Miniature rubies were produced in 1837 by treatments of alum and chrom- ium.- Some ten years later a fusing of alumina in boric acid brought claims of a lwhite sapphire. fIn pre-World War II Germany, synthetic emeralds were made, in a complicated and expensive process. Color holds a big part in the popularity of gems men mine or try to make. Green. red and blue-hued stones always strike popular fancy. Yellow appeals less. glittering diamond, symbol of youthful love and an expression of affluence, is univers- ally dcsircd. So also are the sapphire and ruby. . sembling volcano craters) and stream and beach gravel are diamonds' hiding places. For centuries India was a chief source, fol- lowed by Brazil. Now Africa yields 95 per cent of the world's supply. Arkansas has pipe formations resemb- ling those of South Africa and actually lmined diamonds for a time. Tourists may now pay I small fee and search through the diggings to their heart's content, keep- ing any diamond they find. The site is near Murfreesboro in Pike County. Diamonds are extracted from the earth only with great difficulty. Even in the great De Beers mines at Kimberley. South Africa, tons of rock are dug from depths, crushed and sorted for one small gem. Generally, one in 35 million parts of ore is diamond. But great finds occasionally occur. The world's largest diamond, the Culiinan, weighing 3,106 carats (about 1 1f3rd pounds) came from the Premier Mine of South Africa in 1905. Fragment of a bigger stone, the Cullinan sold for about 150.000 pounds. Of unexcelled purity, the Jonker dia- mond, weighing 726 carats, was found in 1934 and cut into 12 flawless stones. The great Orloff diamond is believed to have been stolen from an idol's eye in a Hindu temple.

Place your tot face down on By Heath Britainls House of Lords. the oldest parliamentary chamber in the world, is once again to give consideration to reforming its or- ganization and procedure. No sweeping changes are suggested for the noble assembly which is being asked by the government merely to set up I committee to investigate the feasibility of re- during the membership of the House. The potential membership now stands at almost nine hun- dred while the average attend- ance is generally something less than a hundred. Three members constitute a quorum. It is to this great discrepancy between the large number of peers entitled to attend and the small number who actually do so. that the Lords' committee will address itself. The composition of this centur- ies-old upper house reflects its tradition and its functions. The twenty-four bishops and the two as hbishops constitute the Lords Spiritual and indicate the close connection between church and state in Britain. Since the House of Lords is a court of Zllisiice as well as a legislative body it is calendar of future events. But it is well to keep in mind, though not to dwell on it, that as a plain fact of history everyl armament race, prior to the one now in motion, ended in conflict. 0 0 Among those recently honoured by al college in California for "outstanding ser- vice to religion” were an educator, a business man, a bus driver, and an Eskimo from Alaska. Certainly no one could deny, the democrat.ic complexion of the selec-l tion. Members of the Montague Junior Board of Trade are to be commended for their initiative in erecting an attractive road- side lunch-table, with proper accessories,. at the foot of Bell's Hill, three miles from" Montague on the Charlottetown Highway. Fitting reminders are posted about 1000 ,feet away in both directions. Of such lit- ltle things is tourist goodwill built. Already. it is reported. the facilities are being usedl quite frequently. It may be taken as evidence of the im- the life of the community. that the appoint- ment of a Provincial Racing and Sportsi ,'Commission has been deemed advisable. lThe newl-Commission, headed by Judge Darby, with the veteran athlete and Sports-3 man Mr. James Pendergast as secretary.l and Mr. Douglas MacLeod as a Commis- sion mcmbcr. will be responsible for pre- scribing the rules and conditions under lwhlffh all horse racing and other sports shall be conducted in the Province, and fix- iing the license fees required. 0 I O In the United Sttates. an insurance company reports, deaths on the highways numbered 35.000 in 1954, and injuries nearly -two million. Ninety-five per cent or more of the cars involved in fatal ac- cidents were in good condition. Usually they were travelling along straight, dry roads in clear weather. Almost all their drivers had had experience of at least a year and, incidentally, 91 per cent of them were men. Those under 25 caused more than a proportionate share of high- way accidents. Three in five deaths oc- curred mt night. As for pedestrians, 38 per cent of those killed were jay-walkers. This survey indicates that traffic accl- dents Ire caused mainly by' those who take risks.

When Eng- land united with Scotland in 1707 land later with Ireland in 1301. something had to be done with the Scottish and Jrlsh aristocracy. It was decided that they should send some of their number to represent them in the House of Lords of the United Kingdom. The Scots were to chose 16 to serve for the life of a parliament. while the Irish net-rs sent 28 of their number. appointed to Wesl- minslcr for life. The Scots still hold their election of peers but the Irish peerage has almost dwindled away.

On one matter the Lords have shown themselves adamant. They refuse to open their ranks to the fair sex. A noble lord may die with only a daughter as an heir. She will then assume the family title and the estate, but she may not take her place in the Upper House. Over the years there have been many attempts to change this situation but the Lords con- tinue to remain I masculine stronghold. - O O 0 Among the many hundred dukes. earls. msrqulscs, and barons are some of the Rblesi men in Britain.

The difficulty is that to make it more efficient might also make it more powerful. Such a development few people want. least of all the House of Commons. So, perhaps, its weak- ness has contributed most to its continuing existence. and there is little likelihood that the House of Lords will emerge with any new grant of power.
