"The Strongest Memory is Weaker Than the Weakest Ink.” sfiiuninifloiuuv u. foi-i Right llp Our Alley A new feature at the next Maritime Win- ter Fair, which is scheduled to take place about the last of October, will be the holding of a special Potato Day. Championships are to be offered for Prince Edward lslond, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and there will be a grand championship for the three Provinces. This is an excellent idea, and one which should appeal strongly to Prince Edward lslond growers, who admittedly produce the best qual- ity seed potatoes on the continent. This high reputation did not come to us by chance. It is about thirty years ago that the late Dr. Paul A. Murphy, first plant pathologist at our Domin- ion Experimental Form, p:eached through the columns of The Guardian the suitability of Prince Edward lslond soil for the growth of fine, floury white potatoes instead of the red and blue varieties then grown. His campaigning in- duced such men as MJSSFS. M. J. Mclvor, Kinkora, and John B. McFady-en, of Augustine Cove, to engage in the enterprise. With the formation of the P. E. l. Potato Growers Association in I9I9 the first step was taken in cooperation and cosh prizes were offered in each County for the best yield per acre. Then followed the sale of a carload of certified seed to a buyer in Long Is- land at a price which prcvcd a revelation. Since then, largely through the Association, we have marketed many millions ol bushels of the best certified seed in the world, and have furnished thousands af samples of seed for demonstra- tion purposes to almost every potato producing State in the American Union. It was y-ears after our Island seed growers had established a continent-wide reputation that competitors in New BrLlnSV/ICR and other Prov- inces got under way. Production in our sister Provinces has improved in quality and quantity, but our own producers have not been asleep meanwhile and there has never been a time when our P. E. I. potatoes were not rated "tops" on any market. Lost year, for example, two-thirds of our whole potato acreage was under certification, and due to this fact, and to our comparative freedom from bacterial ring rot and other diseases, we obtained the coveted 3,000,000 bushel British order. This year's ls- land potato crop will be a still finer one, for it will be produced under o low making it com- pulsory to plant certified seed throughout: the Province. No other Province in Canada has such legislation on its statutes—nowhere else, apparently, are the growers so alert to their own interests and thc tremendous advantage of maintaining and improving quality production. So we will enter the potato competition at the Winter Fair this year as the only disease-free potato Province in the Dominion. This will be a great advantage to Island exhibitors, but it should also benefit the growers 0f 01H’ Siiiel’ Provinces, by inspiring them to equal efforts. in aiming at the highest standards of quality. If they learn that lesson thoroughly, the trophies our Island growers will take home with them will be money w-ell expended all around. The Great Problem The great issue today between two basic- ally opposed forms of society, represented ‘by our British, American and French represen- tatives at the United Notions conference on the one hand, and Soviet Russia on the other, was never better expressed than in an address rec- ently delivered by the Hon. L. B. Pearson, Can- adian Under-S-acretary of State for External Af- fairs, ot the University of Rochester. This division of ideologies, Mr. Pearson pointed out, is one which transcends all national boundaries. One form respects the dignity, dec- cncy and liberty of the individual, in which gov- ernment is justified only by the contributions it makes to his welfare; in the other, the individual is nothing but a mere cog in a machine, and, the omnipolent state moulds him into conform- ity with the mass, or, if he will not so conform, crushes him. "lf these two worlds," says Mr. Pearson, "are D survive, they must find u formula for mutual tolerance and co-operafive endeavour within the United Nations, in the hope that this co-opero- tron between governments may lead to friendlier relations between peoples. Such relations can never be achieved, havirrrer, unless th-e peoples are given a chance to know vGCll other, and this, totalitarian governments refuse to permit. Furth- srmore, we who believe in a free way of life must not compromise with our fundamental be- liefs, as the pzice fcr co-opcraticn. We musl also insist that the United bioticns be permitted to progress and grow into what it is not now- on organization capable of preserving the peace. In that upward prcgrass cv-ery effort must be mode to include oil states but if this is im- possible, then we must decide whether to main- tain the universality .of fir: slowest member, which may mean vialking backwards, or to go ahead towards a reaiiy elrective international order viith these-states who cre willing to co~ operate for that purpose." How can one find the best basis of agree- ment and prevent the otherwise seemingly in- evitablo ‘clash between two hostile worlds? Mr. Pearson has an answer which is well worth noting and studying: "If making," he says, "our own way of twa hostile worlds? By making our own way of lifi and government so demonstrably better than rho other, that the realization of its superiority will penetrate even the most powerful of cur- toms. Such a result must be achieved if there is to be one world on any other basis than tho jail or the cemetery. But we will never accom- plish it merely by attacking other peoples and other systems. To the forces of despotism and reaction of right or left we must oppose o dem- ocracy, a free way of life which is proud, dynamic and assertive; which proves itself by the contri- bution it makes to man's happiness, and whith by its achievements, not merely by its words, demonstrates its superiority over any other form ol social and political organization of man. The demonstration must be positive not negative; proud and not apologetic. We should not be on the defensive. We are not looking back- wards! Totalitarianism is as old as sin. Dem- ocracy—os we know it and not as despots de- fine it—is the new creed ol life and hope and progress. We are the pioneers and adventurers. The others are the reoctionuiies. So let us not leave the field to the dark invaders, at home or abroad." - — EDIIURIAL NUIES i-u "The Glorious Twelfth". * i R fl The ‘City Police are taking action against autaists for unnecessary horn-blowing, and an offender has been fined in the Police Court. i k 1t 1 A Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute scientist predicts that by I957 a fifth of our gasoline will be synthetic. ‘i1 9 ir The Car Ferry is still due at the end of the month sometime, though her delay at Sorel must be disappointing to both her builders and Government alike.

Alderman J. E. Lloyd, Halifax, took issue with a suggestion made at a recent city council meeting that the name of Halifax's Trollope street be changed. No one intended, he said, to I'.’ll(6 away the honor from the famed family of novelists after whom the street was named, even though Trollope street was consistently misspelled—without the "e". "Dropping the 'e' is no credit to the thorough- fare," Alderman Lloyd said. i * K General Eisenhower, retiring to the Presi- dency of Columbia University, says The Printed Word, took occasion lo point to the fact that the immediate problem is to organize jointly the de- fences of the U. S. and Canada. In the U. S., there is serious concern ovcr too rapid disarma- merit, and a definite effort to improve the situ- ation. In Canada, after drastically cutting ol- reody insufficient defence plans, it has not been possible, as yet, to recruit more than two-thirds of the authorized personnel of the armed forces. i i i i Manufacturers of sporting goods in Canada expect their new, post-war sales demand to level off about 50 pcr cent ahead of the aver- age pre-war year reports Hardware and Metal and Electrical Dealer. U.S. predictions call for a 66 per cent volume boost by I950. Wet spring weather throughout the greater part of Canada had a noticeably shrinking effect upon tennis equipment sales, the hardware business paper reports. Other games, helped along by post-war conditions generally, are away up in numbers of participants. ‘r ' i’ It is a change to hear a sermon in "braid Scots." At Park Church, Dundee, the Rev. Harry Law conducted such o service. Speaking on "Aye Haudin' Home", Mr. Low took as his text, I Samuel, chapter l0, verse 26—"And Saul, like the lave, good home toe Gibeoh."

Then we read further that Hague had designated his nephew, Frank Hague Eggers, as his suc- cessor. Also that he will retain his position as Democratic boss of New Jersey and that he will continue to be Democratic national commit- teemain from New Jersey and vice- chairman of the Democratic na- tional committee. Plans for the celebration have been called off. We can't see Rogue's resignation as mayor will make any difference. L. B.

'I‘his mental discomflture lowever, ls not caused by the dis- .151 outcome of the Foreign Min- isters meeting in Moscow; neither l" it the result of the flat rejec- liion of the Marshall plan by Molo- tov in Paris; nor yet by the reality of impending atomic warfare. Sir, It is none of these. Something of more transcendent importance threatens to disturb my mental equilibrium. I had hoped that Mrs. Frank 0r Mr. Hemming or some other public-spirited citizen would direct public attention to this matter-Alas! we have wait- ed in vain! Quite some time ago you com- mented editoviailv (on a news item) that "one pair of deodorls." skunks were shipped from Canada to Toranga. Park Zoo in Australia". At that. time the full import. of this startling information did not seem to register on our national consciousness. And now (as re- neatly as yesterday) from the loud- speaker of our radio comes the discamfotting news that deodor- ized palecats are being offered for sole as pets in the U.S. for $30 each. This to me can mean one thing. The show-down battle between pure science and the classics has begun. The word "skunk" in its popular ever_v-da,s' use is perhaps the most colorful and expressive word in the English language per- taining to mundane things. What a host of mentrfl pictures are con- jured up by the mention of the name! Now it science pursues its audacious course and separates the polecat. from its perfume, what a far-reaching effect may 1t not. have on our modes of expression, an the mother tongue and on the future history of mankind? We now know what an astounding and extended effect was caused by the Industrial Revolution. So if hy one simple scientific operation the polecat-is deprived of his ancient odors and the word "skunk" of its ancient meaning, and tempermen- tal housewives no longer apply (over the back fence) this epithet to an offending neighbor, and po- liticians no longer transfer to po- litical opponents the opprobaium that belongs to the polemic-then there may be ushered In a new era in human relations: and the whole thing may have such a momentuous effect upon mankind as to be known by posterity as "The Poiecat Revolution." This lnfringment of the rights of dumb animals is something that calls for immediate action. Mat- l-ers of far lesser import have been made the subject for Royal Commissions and Congressional education of the young the whale of life? I hate the young. I'm worn out wi-th them. They absorb you and suck you dry and are vam- pires and selfish brutes at best.

A suggestion of the General Al- sombly of the Free Church of Scot- land that instrumental music be discontinued in church services perpetuates the attitude of the aid school of Scottish Presbyter- lans, who strongly disliked, and for long successfully opposed. the introduction of church organs. says The Manchester Guardian. A "kist o‘ whistles," indeed, was one mark of distinction between Episcopalian nnd Presbyterian churcheig and the clergy of the former were known ln common parlance as “whistle-kirk ministers." Dean Ramsay used to tell of a lady of Episcopalian persuasion who in- duced an old servant strongly “Free Kirk." to attend a service in her church to hear the organ and choir. Asked on her return how she liked it, the old woman re- pFed, “Oh, it's bonny, verra bon- ny, but, Oh, my lady, what an nwfu’ way o‘ spending the Bob- bath!"

A long series of dis- Istrous crashes made them Ip- pear too dangerous for practical use, while the amazing progress of heavler-than-air craft has left Inquiries. How can the saintly ladies of the S.P.C.A. stand idly by and see the poor polecot rob- bed of his aromatic franchise? The Book of Knowledge says that skunks "are largely insect feeders, constantly searching for grabs which form much ofthefr food. They are also fond of grass- hoppers. locusts and other insects —as well as mice. The good they do more than pays up for the occasional inroads lnbo the poultry yinrds." Farmers should therefore be warned that lf the designs of the scientists are perpetrated on this useful, Innocent animal, he may soon become not only "ex- atlnk" but also extinct. It. is said that the skunk's great popularity ls by reason of the fact that he possesses a pali- of scent glands. But he is not the only animal that uses perfume to accomplish his purpose. And who knows but that the yellow mist that. he distributes so generously, may be more potent. in arousing the romantic susceptibilities of a mate than a hundred hogsheads of “Evening In Paris" or "Eau de Cologne"? Someone has said that the skunk ls just a pussycat with a secret weapon. Whatever the skunk has ft is certainly not. secret. Besides he is not by nature offensive. He will generally give a fair warning and may take n great. deal of abuse, but 1f cornered and, senses that his life is in danger. he will stamp his feet, raise his tail in a stiff salute, and, ff this warning is not heeded, he puts his pire- arranged defence schema into operation. I repeat, the polecnt; 1a not. really offensive but defensive He is simply master of that school of strategy which teaches that the best defensive is an offensive. Deodorlse the skunk?

Early English kings married mostly Lnto French royalty. They won celebrated beauties who be- came fihe mothers of new dynastic: and the instruments through which Britain's power was extended. One of the most famoub—parhaps he strangest-of royal romancel ir-las Henry V's courtship of Kather- e of Valoiu, the yuuingest sister of Isabella, t-he “Little Queen", at the age of elgiht, had England as the promisedkzonsart of Richard II. When Henry was Prince of Wai- es. his father had 5011811! 10 111M011 him with Katherine, alter her two elder sisters, the widowed Isabella and Marie, ihad rejected hlm. Hen- ry renewed his suit when he be- came King, denanding besides the princess and is huge dowry. the restoration of lands tn France that fomierly had been subject to the English Crovm. French refusal to meet Henry's terms led to English invasion of France cllmaxed by the Battle of Agl-ncourt 1n October, 1413. Consis- tently victorious, Henry vowed ha would treat wibh none but the fair princess, herself, whom he had wooed throughout the fighting. O O I who In uhe 13th century England was governed by one king, Scotland by another and Wales by feudal barons nominally under the English Cirown. To unite the entire island and set tine crowns o! England and Scotland on a single head, states- men laid plans for the marriage of Margaret, granddaughter of Alex- ander III of Scotland and his heir to Edward, the first Prince of Wal- es who subsequently became Ed- ward II. Margaret died on her way home from Norway, however, thus delaying fulfillment of the scheme from 1286 until James VI 0f Scot- land, son of Mary Queen of Scots. became James I of England lorne 400 years later. Many years of warfare to subdue Scotland. which left. the northem land independent but impoverished, might have bean avoided, historian: note, had Margaret lived. The Pope’; refusal to divorce Henry VIII and Katherine of Ara- gon-defled by the King-brought about the change from Roman Catholicism to Protestantism 1n England, with the accompanying seizure of church-owned lands, dis- solution of monasteries, pen-sew- tlons and reprisais which continued long after Henry and his six wives, two of whom he beheaded, were dead. Atten- the reigns of the thorough- ly English and Protestant Eliza- beth and of James 1, under whom England and Scotland were united, religious conflict broke out anew with greater fury in the reign of Charles I, who was wedded to Hen- rietta Marie. of France, an ardent Catholic, One result of this mar- riage was peace with France, but at home troubles multiplied.

After a turimil-ridden reign of 24 years his widow fled to France and the defeated Cherries was executed. Oliver Cromwell took over as pro- tector.
