Mr.-MacLean, has no . eomment to make on the criticism voiced here ee caaaedt the lat- est setback in our Causeway survey report. Premier Shaw could not be eontacted at Ottawa and we have no new light to shed upon the situat- ion from any official source. . Meanwhile we note that the fed- eral Transport Minister, Mr. Hees, was in Saint John, N.B. yesterday and is reperted as saying that he would like to see the Chignecto Canal built “if it is shown to be economical.” He made the comment in answer to questions popped at him by 30 loeal business men when he arrived after a visit to Halifax. No one ap- ‘pears to have asked him about our Causeway project in-either centre; and why should they? It is up to our people to keep this iron in the fire, and if it has gotten cold through lack of attention, why blame others? The proper man to get after, of course, is not Mr. Hees but the new Public Works Minister, Hon. David - Walker. Our members seem to have made a very poor job of briefing him about the importance of this project. How else explain his neglect of the promise to give us an interim report, or even .to say when it can be expected after previously. assur- in “pleted report was December 15?-He owes us an explanation, and a good one. . We. regret having to criticise where we should prefer to eommend, but we were banking heavily upon the assurances given in the recent m cc mt eral representatives themselves. This. latest letdown, coupled with the in- creasing tempo of the Chignecto ‘Canal propaganda campaign, has greatly disturbed us. We have a right te know where we stand from the people we elected to serve our inter- ests. “It lies not in our stars but in ourselves; that we are underlings.” Will this Shakesperian epigram be- come our Island €a yay epitaph? We shall ask our We bers. ..that moot question when we find them. Bi r t Raising Delinquents Our comparatively favorable re- eord with regard to juvenile delin- quency ‘should not cause us be camplacent about a problem which is ¢ausing growing concern in many communities. A striking commentary on the subject has been provided by the police department of Huston, Texas, in a brochure entitled “Twelve Rules For Raising Delinquent Child- ; i ren.” They are well worth studying, and practising in reverse. Here they are: to ~~ te on Om ee re } 1. Begin : with infaucy to give ‘the child everything he wants. In this way he will grow up to believe the world owes him a living. 2. When he picks up bad words, Jaugh at him. This will make him ‘think he is cute. It. wialso encour- age him to pick up “cuter” words - that will flip the top off your head i later. 3. -Avoid the use of the word “wrong.” It might develop a guilt eomplex. This will condition him to believe later, when he is arrested for stealing a car, that society is against him and he is being persecuted. RDG TP tg ete 4, Never give him any spiritual training. Wait until he is 21 and let him “decide ;for himself.” 5. Pick yp- everything he leaves lying around — books, shoes, and clothes. Do everything for him so ing‘ all responsibility on others. 6. Let him read any. printed mat- ter he can get his hands on. Be care- ful that the silverware and cutlery are sterilized, but let his mind feast en garbage. 7.

Why should he have things as tought as you had them? 9. Satisfy his every craying for food, drink, and comfort. See every sensual desire is gratified. Denial may lead to harmful frustration. 10. Take his part against neigh- bors, teachers, policemen. They are all prejudiced against your child. 11. When he gets.into real trouble, apologize for yourself by saying. “I never could do anything with him.” 42. Prepare for a life of grief. You will be likely to have it. Mr. Harkness’ Figures When the Federal Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Harkness, addressed the annual federal-previncial agricul- tural conference at Ottawa recently, we do not think he had any intention of being misleading when he claimed that. the farming industry “shared in the economie recovery that Began in 1958 and continued into 1950.” What this meant was that Canadian farmers, on the whole, had more to _ Sell than last year. But that wasn’t quite the whole picture. The Can- adian Federation of Agriculture, presenting its brief to the conference shortly after, took the minister’s figures and- gave them a rather dif- ferent interpretation. Mr. Harkness had mentioned a gain in net income “in spite of the fact that farmers paid about 3 per- cent more for commodities and ser- vices in 1959.” The CFA comment was that “with the number of far- mers down about 4 percent in 1959, the average net farm income per per- son has probably gone up a little, but not enough to offset a higher cost of living, the continued rise in the na- tional wealth, or the incréased invest- ~ment needed to produce under mod- ‘ “~y ‘ t that he will be experienced in throw. | | ern conditions. In short, farmérs con- tinue to fall further behind the rest of the nation in living standards.” ‘ Our Busy Salesmen Canadian salesmen appear to be doing a good job abroad. If they y_ selling refrigerators to Eskimos, they are approximating that legendary feat, according to a Canadian Press analysis of the odd items exported during the first eight months, of the year. This list includes ice skates to South Africa, whiskey to Jamaica, moccasins to the Nether- lands West Indies, Christmas. trees to Panama, radio sets to the Belgian Congo, fishing tackle to Fiji, skunk skins to Britain, baby chicks to Rumania, senaca root (used in treat- ment of bronchial troubles, and some- times to cure snakebite) to Argen- tina; driéd animal blood to Japan, jams and jellies to Ethiopia, ale and beer to Ceylon, car tires to I¢eland, peat moss to Hawaii, instant coffee to Italy, dolls to E] Salvador, ice- making equipment to Trinidad, but- tons to Australia, bullets to Mauri- tius, rubber fan belts to Indochina, and pickles to Hong Kong.

But may we ever remember that we are our brother's keeper, whether our skin is black, white or red. or Communist, Democrat or other- wise in politics. One world, one common desire of our race that we might live in peace.and die in good faith. And as the Nobel Prize Englishman put it, ‘Let the common man have his way and in one week we would abol- ish war forever.” Now may I relate briefly some. of the things which I enjoyed during a visit to the World's fast- est growing city, Toronto. The great Roval Fair is as we und- erstand the biggest of its kind in the world. Everything in agric- ulture was displayed in all its glory ‘and our Island enjoyed their share of prizes. But what appealed to me more than all was a visit Sunday night the date doesn’t count — to a place called Harbour Light. about it, and the name itself would appeal to all inquisitive persons including myselt. Well, here is what I saw and I am sure, Sir, we have a lot of people on P. E. J. that will be in- terested as I was. First sight was about ten, peo- ple. no women, singing and pray- ing to the glory of: God on the sidewalk. When we entered the building the first thing we saw was a large number of wooden benches which was soon filled to capacity by men who sang from their hearts many gospel songs | led by two Salvation Army of- ficers along with a very fine pian- ist. z They must‘have been a happy crowd when the-song leader ask- ed them not to stamp their feet in keeping time. Well, who were all those happy souls? None oth- er than redeemed men from the curse of alcohol and other evils. Here they found a great welcome by a handful of Christian work- ers, with such love for mankind that it was hard to resist their plea for a surrender to the Man of Galilee. One man told of living in every country of the world but never having heard of the love of God to man’ till he came to Harbour Light. Well, this work goes on day by day and they are provided with food and shelter — money or no money. They are there from all over the world, including P.E.I. So is it not .a great pleasure to know of this great work being carried on in the heart of a city? I understand there are other groups doing the same thing to the :glory of God. I asked them about money. The reply was ““We'- re always short of money.” I think we should do a little | boasting when we meet our friend Khrushchev of .a religion that lifts men from the gutter and clay to a life of joy, peace and fellow- ‘ship’ with his fellowman without compulsion. : I trust these few lines will find favor in the hearts of many of our good citizens, knowing well, “all that glitters is not gold.” I am, Sir., etc., HARRY PRIDHAM Alberton, P.E.L | meeting. to December in its regular an-— }it was | rae BILL - WHO PAYS? _ | the sensation is caused by extra Heart Trouble Maybe Harmless Me, Rermee,K Bon | ‘3 x ° generally 343 the chest, heart-ache, faintness, easy fatigue and irregular heart- ts.

The choice is | far from easy. : The Labor Party likes neither the composition of the commis- sion nor its terms of reference.

In the parliamentary debate on the setting up of the commission, Gaitskell voiced two chief objec- tions. Its 26 members include only five Negroes, three of them colonial government employees. And the body is not specifically empowered to re. - examine the basic plan to weld Northern and Southern Rhodesia and Nyasa- land into a central African feder- ation. : NATIVES RESTIVE Labor fears the talks a sue alone.
