Much of the increase is due to control of diseases . which formerly took great toll of young people. The science of medicine, the spread of good sanitation, and strides in agriculture have con- tributed to longevity. lt is true that science has not found an in- jection that provides renewed youth at forty, but it ca-i show ‘how to continue some of the ad- vantages of youth into these later years. There are a few simple things people can do to help keep their bodies and minds in good working con- dition. They should slow down and relax every once in a while. Relaxation isn't magic, but it does give the body a chance to pull itself to- gether.

From many years of experience m connection with Dominion-Pro- vincial. relations, Inter-provlnclal and international trade and relat- ed subjects, I am firmly convinced that our greatest national handicap Is concealment of truth regarding the constitutlon of our national set-up by educational Institutions and others. The Law Journal, from which you quote. Is substantially correct but i-t. overlooks the Inter-provinc- lal agreement, 1866, which I| the basic constitutional document of Life Dominion of Casmcla.

Act, which Isa secondary action taken at. the re- quest. of the original Provinces to unite Lhese Provlnces "federally," or according to their aim agree- ment a; that Act. declares. Lawyers have a stock expression. “You cannot. go back of a Statute"; but_ several times the Privy Coun- ci1 has gone back of the B.N.A. Act. For instance its 1931 judgment. on aerial navigation Is based on the 1866 agreement wihich It terms “the original contract. upon which the‘ whole structure was subsequently erected"; also its 1837 judgment on the Bennett legislation which re- fers to "the Inter-provincial com- pact to which the B.N.A. Act, gives effect." According Io the Privy Council the Provinces "retained their Inric-i pvndcnce and autonomy" when they "entrusted" tihe Dominion ofl Canada with certain authority to pmnote the objects of the 1866 agreement and apparently any action by the Government. and Parliament of Canada which Is repugnant. Io that. agreement Is “ultra. vlres" of l-he Federal Par- liiaiment, TThe Federal Parliament undertook to properly perform Its duties to the origlnal Provinces by two Acts “which It passed at Its first. session. The Law Journals statement "the complete and sovereign equal- ity of all til-re governmcnts set. up by or under the B.N.A. Act." might be misleading.

He wants wages to be lower than elsewhere In Can- ada. Hts arguments In support of thfe reads like school-boy eco- nomics. Ho thinks everyone else must have more money before wages can be raised. The late Henry Ford proved the fallacy of thfs theory many years ago. He proved that the only way to prosperity for everybody was u. ralse wages first. The labor union movement In the Unlted Statps by their constant pressure for higher wages famed American industry tn apply every technique that. would speed uip operations and lower costs of production. Economists have stated that. pree- sure of higher wages wsa the compelling factor mist caused Am- erlcm Industry to become the greatest the world has ever known and.

Me- morial Field was dedicated in re- membrance but some peopic hnvr pitifully short memories. The fol- lowing Is the self-explanatory text of Lieutenant Governor Bernard's dedication address; "We are assembled here for the operrng of this Athletic Field. an cveul. of great. Importance to those who practice and trike part. Innth- Ietlcs. It is more thhn that; It. is a work and a monument whlcti has taken shape here under the skillful and capable guidance of that estimable soldier who Is now head of Physical Fitness. It is work whlchlor all time to ccnie will be a memorial and a tribute to so many of our splendid ath- letes of former days who made the Supreme Sacrifice so that the world would flat become enslaved. but that we could carry on as we are doing today in freedom and wlth- out. fear. "To those courageous and heroic men and women and to their ma- mories this field ls being dedlcaten today.

The construction of Memorial Field was the brain-child of a man who saw the need for such a centre and It took two long years of diplomacy and labour to accom- plish whet, we now have. I wIII not go Into detail as to how many nun hours nor how much volun- tary labour were needed to con- struct. bleachers. fences. rake ston- es, erect poets. eto..

I874: Dr. Jenkins moved the I-Iouae Into Committee to take Into consid- eration a BIII to extend the author- lly of the Police Constables In Charlottetown, and to Impose I. fine upon persons refusing to nld the Police Constables In quelling a disturbance, and to be Imprisoned In default of payment.

In performing their duties. and they had at present no power u compo; cftlzena to assist. them bi such cases. Indeed, It wu a mm- mon thing to no crowds of peopli lwklne on.
