Seo land has made a contribution to the civilized world far out of proportion to her wealth or territory, and this fact will doubtless duly be noted at the anniversary observance by the Caledonian Club on Monday evening. It is chiefly a mental and spiritual con-i tribution. She has provided leadership in peace and war to peoples on every contin- ent. ller own story is a never-failing 'in- spiration to Scots at home and abroad and to their descendants wherever they may be. Without abating one whit their loyalty to their own country they nevertheless hold dear the land from which they or their people sprung. Scotland today is stirring with new lifeu A century and a half ago the depopulatioh of the Highlands began, filling up the great unoccupied spaces of the New World. To- day the trend has reversed and none other than Lord Selkirk is looking for Canadian and American Scots to settle in the High- lands. Great power developments promise renewed industrial life and the Scotland of song and story may before long he a very different land from the modern nation north of the Tweed. ..m.A. . Home And School Associations The local Home and School Associations cent of the population and eight per cent of the land area, yet prodhces and con- sumes about half the free world's output. It currently uses approximately 2.7 billion tons of materials annually, about 18 tons per person. Against this backdrop, and as- suming that the gross national product in real terms will continue to increase by three per cent per annuin, that the population- now 157 millions-will, reach a level of 193 millions by 1975, that the work week will be about 15 per cent shorter than in 1950, and that the production per man-hour will rise annually by two and a half per cent, the commission has made a series of pro- jections of possible demand for various in- dustrial materials in the 1970-1980 period. I t expects such an expansion program to involve an increase of not more than 50 to 60 per cent in the total use of materials. But the use of minerals might rise by 90 per cent, and here, particularly, the risk of shortages must be faced. How such en- ormously expanded needs are to be provid- ed without undue increases in real cost is the major concern of the commission. It is recognized that purely internal measures are far from adequate to meet America's problem, the review states, and the Paley Report therefore recommends the enact- ment of permanent authority for "unilater- al elimination” of import duty on any in- dustrial material for which the U. S. is sub- stantially dependent on imports. It also recommends repeal of the ”Buy American Act" of 1933 and similar legislation. The Bank letter stresses that, for Can- ada, the moral of the whole report is clear: while it may expect rich short and middle- term benefits from predicted material short- ages in the U. S., this country should take stock of the long-range threat of running short itself. "The consumption of almost all materials is expanding at compound rates and is thus pressing harder and harder against resources which, whatever else they may be doing, are not similarly expand- ing." -' EDIIURIAL NUHIS which have sprung up in the Province in recent years have been doing very useful work. At Thursdayls meeting in the V0- cational School the question of expanding these activities through a Provincial organ- ization was favorably discussed. The chair- man, Mr. Bramwell Chandler, instanced the success achieved by the Women's In- stitutes, which are organized provihcially and nationally as well as on a.branch basis. No better example could be cited, inas- much as the Institutes, while formed to co- always laid stress on the prime value of their branch activities. This principle is equally important in Home and School As- sociations, where closer contact between teacher and parents in each community has been the chief objective. A valuable contribution to the discus- sion was made by Dr. L. W. Shaw, Director of Education, in stressing the importance of community needs as the basis of group development, and while co-operating in ev- ery way with the educational authorities of keeping the organization eijirely free and independent. It is important also to avoid the danger nf dCVC10DinS int0 lust another pressure group. The great Value M the organization at present is that it has no axes to grind, and requires no elaborate setup of officials or regimentation. It is a truly democratic movement, having its roots in the individual communities from which it springs. We have no doubt that due consideration will be given to retaining this vital principle in- planning f01' 3 C9.”' tral organization, and that concrete benefits will result to all concerned. The Paley Report -A- O In the light of its wealth of resources and "timely capital expansion program”, Canada "may reasonably hope to benefit richly over the short and middle, term from the colossal appetite for materials of our neighbour to the south.” the Bank of Montreal's latest Business Review com- ments: Thetreport adds that, "If the trend is toward an age of scarcity that. can only be averted by major technological develop- ments, we too may be well advised to do some serious stock-taking for the longer range in themidst of our apparent plenty." The statement appraises the recent "Re- sources for Freedom" Report to the U. S. President, by the Materials Policy Commis- sion? This. the bank finds, is "a well-doeu- 'mented and searching analysis of the pos- sibilities for the free world -in -the.period . 1970-19803" While primarily concerned with the future of the" nlted States, the .p.1ey Report, as it is. nown, recognizes that the U.

IMPORTANT ISLAND CLAlMi Sir, A There have been reports and letters appearing recently in the press relative to Island claims and unfair treatment handed out at Ottawa. It. seems to the writer that prob- ably the most outstanding subject that would bring home to the cit- izens of Canada and members 'of Parliament. the injustice that has been meted out. to the Marttlmes, and this Province in particular, is the lack of participation in the lands handed over to Quebec, Ont- aro and the western Provinces. which have proven of untold wealth. and in which we had a. proprietary interest. Take the case of the Western Provinces when the public lands and natural resources were handed over to those Provin- ces, by the Dominion, the subsidies in lieu oi public lands were not taken nlway. Prince Edward Island, as an early partner of Canada, had a right to participate in such distribution and be adequately compensated. The Duncan Commission, in their report. made in 1926, recommended that this special claim of the Is- land be given proper consideration Coronet Problem (Sydney Poet Record) A high title may look impressive the holder of it! Several peers have informed the Queen they can't af- ford the robes and coronets neces- sary for her coronation next year. Lord Calverley, Labor member of the House of Lords, said that it would cost more than 2700 for him and his wife to show up in proper dress. But they don't want to miss the show thus have requested that separate seating arrangements be made in Westminster Abbey for the peers without the traditional attire so that they do not spoil the pag- eantry of the picture made by those who do have the robes and coron- ets. Then too they might stay home and listen on the radio like the rest of us. Some peers will rent coronets for the occasion. Reminds one of the in print but can be a nuisance to IA true right. king, that. dares do young man who will rent a dress suit to wear at a formal ball. Foot of the matter is people with titles are becoming anachronistic .. even in England - in the world of todav. The titles they hold have little re- lation to what such titles once meant in the scheme of things. Ev- idence of this is seen in the fact. that the ooronets once worn at state occaalo course, have become as much .1 one else. Many of the people with great names no longer can afford to live in big houses. some of them live in flats and go to work on the bus. in the general revision of claims. when you consider the treatment meted out to this Province as re- gards pwblic buildings, transportat- ion, elc.. it would seem a wonder- ful opportunity to bring home to the citizens of Canada and mem- bers of Parliament the injustice in depriving this Island partner of the opportunity to prosperity of these Northern lands. A fair and equitable compensation would be a tremendous factor in contributing to the prosperity of all Island citizens. I would suggest that.

Al- though advocates of the voluntary schemes . are usually opposed to state hospitalization, when their efforts result in nearly full cov- erage it would become a logical step for the Government to then make it universal. I Gaetano Donizetti, Italian musical com- poser, was born this date 1798. The story that he was of Scottish descent is untrue. The opera "Anne Bolena", produced in Milan, made him famous and was followed by "Elixir of Love”, which abounds in clear pure sentiment and radiant joy. Of his sixty-two operas "Lucia di Lammermoor" proved the most popular, although the fi- nest is probably ”La Favorita". Two of his rivals were Rossini and Bellini which makes his popularity the more remarkable. O Q C The explanation of service organizations being excluded from work with the troops in Korea was given by Defence Minister Claxton. The chiefs of staff, he told the House, consider it would be -"unwise, un- economical and unnecessary" to ask such civilian agencies to handle welfare prob- lems for the armed forces Canada has abroad. The armed forces may or may not be able to operate such services more eco- nomically than prlvate agencies but it is the understanding of many ex-servicemen that what the troops want-to do when they are off duty is get away from” military'es- tablishments I ' ; . act-bl av. . rr:W:lr no Old Charlottetown lAnd r. 3. r. ) MARINE AFFAIRS From the Speech from the Throne delivered by Lieutenant Governor Sir Henry Vere Huntley, at the opening of the Legis- lature, March 4, 1845: "Now that the danger. upon the coastnsof this Island, and the numerous obstructions at the entrance of the different har- bour: have been no elaborately laid down by Captain Baytleld and the officers of the Royal Navy serving under him, I trust that you will make provision for the erection and future support of the be placed upon Point Prim.
