Jurr-1:2”-iii.---13545 -The Railway Application June 21st has been set for the hearing before the Board of Transport Commis- Sl0flGFS of the application by the Canaciiai National Railways to discontinv .e local p..s- senger trains in the Province for eigh. months of the year. Premier Mathesol has indicated that he will present a Gov- ernment brief opposing the ap-galicatioi. and other briefs may be submitted as well. The main burden, however, will fall upon the Premier and there is every reason to believe that he will make out the strong- est case possible in the circumstances. Certainly, in his statements in the Legis- lature on this subject, he has 'shown a more realistic approach to the situation tihan any member on either side of the House. He has frankly conceded that the Railway has a big economic problem maintaining local passenger trains, and that reduction in such services is com- mon throughout Canada and the United States. He has noted also that some peo- ple opposing the move have personal axes to grind, and he has scrupulously avoided lending aid to such propaganda. On the other hand, he has shown that the Railway proposal is open to serious objections which the Transport Board will be bound, in all fairness to consider. In the first place, the Premier pointed out in the Legislature that during part of the time in which it is proposed to dis- continue passenger service. the roads in the Province are not open to bus traffic and there is no substitute service avail- able. He stressed also the importance of maintaining regular freight schedules, since the transportation of fish, livestock, meats, eggs, frozen fruits and vegetables cannot depend on an irregular or spas- modic service. The application should not be permitted to interfere with the terms of continuous service granted the Province at Confederation. The carriage of mails must also be protected in every way. At most, the proposed discontinuance of pas- Ienger train: should not. be for a longer period than between mid-May to mid- November, and tickets should be inter- changeable between the bus and railway companies. Also, the way should be left open for reconsideration after a trial per- iod of one year. Doubtlesslthere will be other argu- ments advanced at the hearing, and the Railways also will have its case well pre- pared. Wc have no reason to feel that the Commissioners will be unfriendly to us, but they will certainly not be swayed by sentimental arguments or by the kind of abuse to which the Railway was subjected in the Legislature by some of our repro- sentatives. As noted above, this remark does not apply to Premier Matheson, whose practical approach to the subject is the best guarantee that our interests be- fore the Commission will be well served. Jamaica Celebrating Like Charlottetown. the stand of Jamaica-which next to Cuba is the larg- est in the Caribbean-is doing a hit of celebrating this year. The celebrations mark 300 years under British rule. Sched- uled to continue through the summer and expected to draw a horde of tourists, they will include visits from an English soccer team and an Australian cricket team, golf and tennis tournaments and historical an" cultural pageants. featuring art, music and the drama. Two years after his epochal discovery of America. Columbus himself came upon there is one advantage it has over everymoirrse on which he left the north- Jamaica. and a few years subsequently tho Spaniards took formal possession. Their possession of the island lasted fill, in May, 1655, the Spanish governor, Don Ramirez. penned a tragic missive to his royal master In Madrid: "I would not like to give Your Mai?Si.V bad news. but I must advise Your Majesty that on the 10th of the present month. Robert Vehables, Governor of Ireland and General of an English fleet, came in sight of this port and the same day he entered It,, took possession of everything. and now cspitulntlons are being drawn up for the” to give us ships in which to leave this is- lsnd. I do not know where this will end." Just before the Spanish governor wrote his message. the island had a re- corded population of only 1.51.0-696 Span- Q; A. H Alrlcllil. Tllmorlclrlll Illlldns in' ulations in the world, the English mun-' ence still dominates. The island's three districts are Surrey, Cornwall and Mid- dlesex, the capital is Kingston; the,gov- ernment and judicial services are modeled on those of Britain, even though almost entirely manned by natives. Jamaica's agricultural output is worth more than S100 million a year. It includes cane sugar, bananas. citrus fruits, tobacco. cof-. fee and spices. 0 Who Can Blame Them? i It seems certain that Yugoslavia is to lose money as a result of the rather neb- ulous transaction recently entered intol with the Soviet Union. For some time thcl ;United States has been sending sizable amounts to bolster the country's militaryl and economic structures; and, in the For-', cign Aid bill which has already passed the :Senate but not the House of Represent- gatives, over 540 million are earmarked for lYugoslavia to be spent on defence. power plants, roads, and related projects. This provision had been put in the bill before the Belgrade meeting took place. It is re- ported now that members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee are asking the administration to take a "second look” at Yugoslavia's share, and to make sure that Marshal Tito can be "fully trusted" be- fore he is given the new -allotment of American dollars. One member of the, ,Committee, Representative Smith of i Wisconsin, said flatly: "Personally, I've never trusted the guy.” is found in the Bulganin-Tito endorsation of Red China's claim to Formosa and of a seat in the United Nations, both of which are contrary to United States official pol-: icy. The House Committee sees this as proof that "Tito is lining up against us and the United Nations." The United States ambassador to Yugoslavia. Mr. Klames W. Riddle-berger, has already come to Washington to give his views on the matter to Secretary of State Dulles. Per- haps he can reassure the doubters, and perhaps not. On the surface it looks very much as if the wily Tito has made up his mind to "make the best of both worlds." How far he will get in the difficult political strategy is hard to say; but at the moment United States Congrasmen are in no mood to accept his vacillating policies calmly and gracefully. And who can blame them? An Appalling Tragedy The appalling toll of seventy-nine kil- led and an unstated number injured at the auto-racing track at Le Mans, France, on Saturday should shock the conscience of the world. This kind of "sport" is more barbarous than the butcheries of the arena of pagan Rome, for the reason that it em- ploys juggernauts of modern invention for the same morbid purpose, after two thou- sand years of boasted Christian culture. Ancient blood spectacles at least had their origin in a perverted form of religion; it is only in modern times that we have exalted deadly forms of sport for their own sake. The race officials at Le Mans have an- nounced that despite Saturday's tragedy the 24-hour test "will be continued next year and the ensuing years": and 40,000 persons stayed up all night while the cars roared around the bloodied track. Nearly. two hours were required to clear away the jdead and injured. fourteen anbulances. idozens of farm trucks and police cars and private automobiles being utilized for this purpose. "Flags were at half mast ,and the whole throng stood in absolute 'silence for a full minute in respect. for the gdead." Then on with the race! Nothing lin ancient literature, filled as it is with human tragedy, quite parallels this ghast- .ly nightmare.

JOHNS. Nfld. (CPI-Claims that John Cabot discovered Cape Breton-and not Newfoundland- have been termed "ridiculous" by A newspaper editor, regarded as an authority in the field of New- foundland history. Although the qucstiontis officially undecided. C. E. A. Jeffery, a member of two historical so- cieiles. says that in view of "the pertinent and weighty” facts there is nn doubt about Cabot landing in Newfoundland in 1497. Both islands generally claim discovery by Cabot and highways and other projects in both places have been given the explorers name, but Mr. Jeffery who re- viewed his tracts in an interview said it. was "scarcely conceivable" that Cabot went as far south as Cape Breton. GIVES AVAILABLE FACTS From available information, Mr. Jeffery says Cabot landed on the northeast coast of Newfoundland. and he backs up his argument with reports of many 'sequent navigators And historians. A navigator who worked over available facts, he says, has es- timated Cabot's landfall in the Trinity Bay area of the province. and this report was backed by Cabol's own report of the heavy fish schools which Mr. Jeffery says are peculiar to the Cape Bonavista area. The Duke of Milan's envoy in London at that time reported back home that Cabot discovered land at a latitude of 48?; degrees north. Mr. Jeffery said the lati- tude of Cape Bonavlsla Is 48 degrees. 50 minutes. or a 20-mile difference. Cabot named his landfall Bac- calaos. and an island on the northeast coast of Newfoundland still has that name. All other navigators who follow ed Cabol's trail. including Cartier l landed at Cape. Bonnvista. saysl Mr. Jeffery. "and the cxplanr ilion appears to be obvious, Thcv ,had a course on which to sail--- latitude 4ll'A. degrees. Thcv had a landmark. in the vicinity of which fish were in abundance - Cape Bonavlsla." SOUTIIRRN ROI "FF. IlNW'""N Even as late as 1543. he says. Cartier was nnl aware of the southern entrance in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. , In order for Cabal to land at Cape Breton he would have had in be off his fixed course of 55 latitude by 540 miles, and then miss sighting Cape Ray. But, says Mr. Jeffery. "clearly no land was sighted before Cabot's destination was reached, for a navigator who had been so long at sea would have availed him- self of the first opportunity to replenish his water and other supplies." If Cabot followed his latitude crn coast of Ireland after sailing north from Bristol. he would have landed at Cape Harrison, Lab- rador. But Mr. Jeffery says the explorer was almost certain to run into ice of!

WELFARE BUREAU APPEAL i Sir,-The more fortunate. major- ity in our City should realize that even during this festive year there are many among us who lack some of the necessities of life. We who have been associated with the work of the Catholic Soc- lal Welfare Bureau are acutely aware that the poor are still with us. Actually. during the past. eizhl months our Agency has exbaus tin direct relief) funds which nor- mally should be sufficient for the whole year. Hence we must. con- duct our annual fund-raising ap- peal-which in our only source of income-this week rather than in the late Fall. The thousands of dollars spent during the past four years on food. clothing, fuel and medlclnc have been, we believe, wiseLv invested. Our famlly'welfare and child wel- fare services are. we believe, competently administered. Our home nursing and professional counselling services are. we be- lieve, as efficient as in any similar Agency. Therefore. when we solicit the financial aid of the Catholic people of Charlottetown we know that they will respond with their customary generosity. We do not hesitate to assert that the same virtues of justice and charity which have helped to build our City will have to sustain it in the future. I am, Sh. etc., L. I. DUFFY President Catholic Social Welfare Bureau Not Surprising (Ottawa Journal) If Mr. Diefenbakcr is concerned about what he calls "a tendency in government circles to lot the word 'Domlnlon' fall Into dlause" it is not surprising at all. The Prime Minister has assured him that "Dominion of Canada" and "Canada" are one and the same and neither improper. but only the other day the same Prime Minister was surprisingly calling God Save the Queen the "royal" anthem! And there have been other indic- ations of I trend which clearly worries Mr. Dlcnbaker and many others. There was the decision by a department of government that the CPR should not. use the word "royal" about 1 new train. There was the occasion a year up when the Speaker of the House of Com- mons referred in July 1 an "Con- federation Day." There was at an earlier date a plan to remove 1. 1954 "royal" from the mall trucks. Pnorissioull CARDS BARRISTERS. SOLICITORS. Etc. Bell. Mntheson &,Fosf:u- I50 Richmond st. 7 Tum...

QUESTION AND ANSWER 1. K.: For the past three years. I have had a swelling on my chest len ankles. Am also interested in knowing what is meant by "strain- ed heart muscle." Answer: The swelling on your chest might be due to 3 fatty tumor, cyst or tumor of some other variety. Swollen ankle: may come from chronic kidney dis- ease. heart disease or some cir- culatory disturbance. A careful cxamlnation by your physician is needed to determine the cause of these conditions. The term "strained heart mus- cle" usually applies to a heart which has become dilated or en- largcd. There have been amendments to statutes to take out the design- ation of this country as the Dom- inion of Canada. There is the fact that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on radio and televis- ion never uses for example the name "Dominion Bureau of Statistics." which ” ,, to be correct. but always simply Bur- eau of Statistics. There was the change in style when 'l'Govern- ment of Canada" was substituted for "Dominion Government" as the response of the telephone op- erators to a call. No one of these things means much in itself, perhaps, but. tak- en together they do seem to ac- quire a significance which hardly can be smothered by the soothing words of Mr. St. Laurent.
