This is the miracle of Easter, which neither the scientists nor the philosophers have been able to -ex- plain. True, they can show that East- ér was originally a pagan festival held in April in honor of the’ goddess of dawn, Eastre; but thatydoes not minimize its importance to the Chris- tian world because )the resurrection tion of the Feast ofthe Passover. It heralded the dawn of a new day, bringing hope for the future; ~ and hope, too, of reconciliation here and now between God and man. It _s this gospel of reconciliation that is at the core of all Christian doctrine, ‘and makes it the tremendous force it has been throughout- the centuries. . Easter has dawned in other years on times which, in their own way, were as’full of turmoil as ours. Each age has those who believe that theirs is the worst of all ages. But as the Resurrection . brought spiritual re- demption to mankind, so does its yearly celebration bring a new spirit of hope and joy to the human heart. To those for whom Easter means that the tyranny of death no longer holds sway the day brings something else, equally precious to. its posses- sors. tumult. It brings serenity amid any Theirs is the serenity of knowing, in Dante’s memorable liné: “In Thy will is my peace.” A Crucial Issue No fewer than eight items in the Throne Speech at Ottawa this session involve federal-provincial confer- ences before they can be implement- ed. This, probably, is what Prime Minister Pearson calls “co-operative federalism”; but another name was given to them in the Commons this week by a Conservative speaker, Gor- | don Fairweather, who termed. them | not Balkanize Canada and bring ot are in power provincially will be in this “fight to the limit” is, however, to say the least, a doubtful question. _ In Viet Nam China is still scorning any im- mediate negotiations to end the Viet support for Communist forces in the area. Its policy may be to maintain | an atmosphere of crisis at least until the key Afro-Asian conference in Al- giers in late June. At the same time, China still shuns open involvement in the conflict, despite its offer to send men to the South. There seems little Chinese inclination for a direct con- frontation . with the United States, -which is about the only hopeful gleam that one can find in the situation. _ Meanwhile what of the Mekong River project, to . which .President Johnson has asked Congress to pledge one billion dollars? This scheme has been under study by a United Nations - commission, which estimates..t-hat- -more than -20,000 acres of the Lower “Mekong basin could be irrigated, in- suring industrial as well as rural de- velopment by utilizing the great re- sources of power provided by dam- ming the river. The estimated cost of the entire project will be $2 billion dollars, and it would take 25 years to complete. . The survey team has worked in the Mekong River area despite the guerrilla warfare intermittently in progress there. They were never molested by either side. The surveys are now complete; and if the Soviet Union and her allies could be induc- + ed, under United Nations auspices, to join with the U.S. in this great humanitarian ‘project, it could spell the beginning of a new era for this part of the world. But first a ne- gotiated- truce must be achieved, and that will take some doing. ; Reassuring It is reassuring to note that for the first three months of this year. no new polio cases have been reported in Canada. This compares with four cases in the same period last year, the average also for the three previous year. Indeed, according to a senior official of the federal health depart- ment, it can now be said that this |. virus which once struck fear into so | Many Canadian homes has been: “vir- | tually eliminated.” The health department estimates a “sham” because they tie Parlia- that more than 90 per cent of Can- ment’s hands in advance. They rep- | resent, he maintained, a shift in the decision-making function which prop- erly belongs to Parliament and to the Legislatures. * The same point was made recent- ly by our junior member for Queens, Mr. Macquarrie, author of an author- itative history of the Conservative . Party, when he complained that we are developing, at these secret con- ferences between federal and pro vincial cabinet members, “what prac- tically amounts to a third area of gov- ernmental action and decision.” In- deed, he said, it could be called “a multi-governmental. area of action ’ atid decision,” and it was not clear. | cut where the responsibilities lie. | There was no “channelling of formation go. that the responsibility | in-: | ada’s school-age children now have been adequately immunized with Salk vaccine or.the oral Sabin vaccine. | Last year there were 21° paralytic polio cases, two of them fatal. The figures compare with 548 polio cases in 1955, the year the Salk vaccine was introduced, 1,887 in 1959, when the last. flare-up took place, and 123 in ,1963. In 1933, Canada’s worst polio year, there were 3,192 paralytic cases and 494 deaths. The improvement has ‘been mark- ed indeed. But officials warn that the incidence of the disease could in- crease if the current high level of immunization of Canada’s youth is not maintained.

Sir,—We, ‘the undersigned wish to. draw the attention of your readers to a special week | set aside as Youth Alcohol Edu- | cation Week on Prince Edward | Island from April 18 to April 24. | The objective of the week's ac- tivities is to draw the attention of young and old to the alarming increase in the consuimption of | alcoholic beverages in our Is- land province and elsewhere. We firmly believe that if peo- ple know the true facts about al- cohol, its harmful affects on the human body, its demoralizing in- fluence on society, and its many associated evils, they will . be more likely to practise volun- tary total abstinence. Education will help. to dispel the. general ignorance of the evils forced on society by alcohol and its abuse. by individuals. It is often the cause of broken homes, juvenile delinquency, moral indecency, economic hardship, highway tragedies, and ruined lives. Its cost on society is very great. At is very important that teens, be made aware of this present ' evil so that they will not become its victims. Alcohol education of youth will remove the cloak of ignorance and. result ina larger measure. of sobriety. youth on Prince Edward Island can take the lead in bringing about an alcohol-free society: Yours truly, President, Athena Allied Youth, John MacIntosh President; P.E.I. Allied Youth and Intefnational Director of A.Y., David Simmons International Director of Allied Youth, Rosslyn Shaw.

In conclusion I wish to give our dear boys and girls a bit of under any circumstances, to tempt or coax, or persuade you to take your first drink of an al- cholic beverage; never, never, never.
