APRIL 1i, I947 Agricola’s Slipper In the discussion in the Legislature on the bill to adopt the "Lady's Slipper" as the floral emblem of this Province, four members took occasion to pay tributes of appreciation to our esteemed contributor Agricola (Mr. Blythe Hurst, Sr.) on his weekly "Newsy Notes" in this news- plaper. ln doing so they honoured themselves, because there is no question as to the merits of Agricola's writings from a literary, educational or cultural standpoint. When it was stated by Hon. Mr. Stewart, Min- l<ter of Agriculture, that the original suggestion for theiflorcl emblem had come from Agricola, Mr. Philip Matheson, Second Queen's, was the first to give his endorsation, and to commend Agricola's writings in the highest terms. We regret to note that he was the only member of the Opposition to show any interest in the mat- ter. Premier Jones rose to the occasion, paying unstinled tribute and suggesting that if the practice in other parliaments were followed, this Legislature might consider itself as being obli- gated to one who had made such a substantial contribution to the Province. Mr. George E. Saville, Fifth King's, on learning that the sug- gestion for the "Lady's Slipper" had come from Agricola, at once withdrew his proposal that the bill be held ovcr and told of the pleasure and profit he had derived from Agricola's writings. Mr, Matheson spoke again on the subject,'con- curring with Premier Jones in his remarks. Hon. Mr. Stewart suggested that the House might show its appreciation hy pafiing the bill now be- fore it, and this was accordingly done. lt was a fine gesture-on the part of the members above named, and of the Legi<lature in general. There has been, however, a good deol of rnis- understanding as to the reasons for the bill, and for the selection of the flower in question. As usual where misunderstandings exist, there has been some uninformed criticism as well. Agricola himself lttls cleared up the matter in his "Newsy Notes" in Saturday's Guardian, and- it would b-e painting the lily~or perhaps one should say the slippen-to attempt to elaborate on them. Suf- fice it to say that this is the kind of material that should be in our schools, supplementary at least to thc imported textbooks‘ on botany and kindred subjects. What an advantage it would be to the pupils, and to the teachers as well, if encouragement were given along this line by those who are clamouring so loudly for changes in our school curriculum! “The Estimates Glancing over the Estimates tabled in the Legislature on Friday, one finds many interest- ing items. ln revenue from Ottawa the Govern- ment is budgeting for $2,721,050 this year, on amount which includes $641,181 in subsidy, plus $1,452,819 in lieu of taxes, guaranteed minimum, and $185,000 as the estimated gross national production increase. These are new figures, brought in by reason of the new Dominion-Provincial agreement. In gasoline taxes the Government expects to take in $675,000. The health tax is expected to run to $160,000 on liquor and $80,000 on tobacco,-—a tidy sum which it is hoped will no longer be misappropriated to general rev- enue. Road tax is estimated at $25,000, amuse- ment tax at $55,000 and succession duty arrears at $160,000. A neat half million dollars is budgeted for as revenue under the Prohibition Act, which brought in more than that last year according to the figures. Motor vehicle licenses are estimated to pro- duce $200,000 revenue; other licenses, permits and fees $87,000. On the expenditure side the Government estimates debt charges at $465,000 and sinking fund provision at $320,000. The estimates for Falconwood Hospital and Infirmary have soared to $200,100, including $175,000 for operating costs, which reminds one of the criticism Messrs. Jones, Barbour and other members of the present Government used to make about the extravagance in this depart- mcnt under the Campbell administration. The expenditure then was about a hundred thous- and dollars, but it used to keep some of the present Government members awake at night wondering how the Province could survive. For child and family welfare the estimate is $55,500; for old age and blind pensions $535,- 000; grants to hospitals $50,000, representing a well-merited increase; Provincial Sanatorium $125,000. For the Vocational School there is another estimated expenditure of $95,800; for P. E. I. Libraries $20,000; for inspection of schools $17,- 000 A modest item of $2,800 is all that appears for teachers’ pensions, which will require some explaining in the House. There is, however, on increase to $555,200 in teachers’ salaries and supplements. There is also $5,000 estimated for teacher training, summer courses, $12,000 for students’ aid, $3,000 for correspondence in- struction, $6,000 for physical fitness, and $7,- 200 for "helping teachers" which is vague but promising. . Administration of justice is estimated to cost $121,717, including $30,000 for R. C. M. P. which may cost more when a new agreement with the Province is signed. For agriculture there is a total expenditure militate of $199,620, including $14,000 for \ and for a total expenditure of $21,400 on field supervision. » For tourist promotion, including the Tra- vel Burcau and information- offices,‘the esti- mated expenditure is $25,290. $412,410 is estimated for highway main- tenonce, and $100,000 for road machine op- eration, maintenance of machinery, snow re- moval, etc. In addition there is the capital estimate of $1,125,000 for highway construc- tion, which it is hoped will be wisely expended. For "general government" the total esti- mate is for $171,615, including $20,000 for the Executive Council, $34,800 for the Secretary- Treasurer's department, $16,290 for provincial survey, $11,500 for miscellaneous grants, $1,- 900 for Fisherman's Loan Board salaries, and $4,375 for a "multigraph branch", which may prove useful alike vfor informational and pro- pogonda purposes. This, of course, covers but o few features of the Estimates. Always documents of much interest, they are particularly so this year in view of the new fiscal arrangements with Ot- tawa and the increase in departmental costs, salaries and services all along the line. Here, as elsewhere‘ apparently, bureaucracy is flour- Ishing. The evidence is on every page of the Estimates, and those who like it that way can rejoice that we are coming more and more under the shadow of state paternalism. Great Ghurchman Passes From all across Canada have come tributes to the late Archbishop Owen of Toronto, Primate or the Church of England in Canada and recog- nized as one of the great men among this coun- try's Christian leaders. ln recent years Arch- bishop Owen was an outstanding supporter of moves looking to closer union of the churches and was the first president of the Canadian Council of Churches formed three years ago. He was tireless in his zeal and enthusiasm, and was gifted with a great capacity for administration a; well as for spiritual leadership. The Church of England, and the Christian church in general has suffered a heavy loss in his passing; but the inspiration of his example lives on, and it is one from which all sincerely concerned in social and religious problems may benefit.

With the appointment of Mr. W. C.

Elmer R. lngrahom, Saint Jobn, present district director for New Brunswick, will be appointed either postmaster nt Saint John or district inspector for New Brunswick. In Charlottetown, where Mr. H.
