FRIDAY, FEBRUARY Z1, 1936 Education Week _ It is customary now to set apzfrt “weeks” for almost everything conceivable, fire, fish, cheese, philanthropy, medicine and art. Our edu- cational authorities have joined the band, and Canadian Education Week, under the auspices of the Canadian Teachers Federation, com- mences on Sunday and continues till the follow- ing Saturday. The praiseworthy idea is to ac- - quaint the general public with some of the ob- jectives, achievements and possibilities of the schools in the Dominion, and to get people suf- . ficieutly interested to visit the schools and to see the work in person, A. series of broad- casts will take place, opened by Lady Tweeds- muir, to be followed by a number of local speak- ers, outstanding atlthorities on the subjects they will handle- Further particulars will be given in annntiilcciiictlls next week. w Our Farmers’ Meetings _ A farmer who has been attending some of the convcnti0ns.this week called on the Editor yesterday and expressed his satisfaction with the splendid reports submitted and discussions that had taken place. lle had just two suggestions for improvement; -first, that such gatherings should be held more frequently; and, secondly, ‘that youths from 15 to 2o should be specially encouraged to attend. The anlount of valuable information obtainable _in these discussions is an education in itself. If present good prices are to be maintained it is the duty of farmers, young _and old, he insist/ed, to learn all they can ho\v to farm to the best advantage, and where better may this be accomplished than at meetings where practical farmers discuss intelligently practical farm problems. Our farmer friend regretted , exceedingly that instead of our youngsters being given advantage of these highly interesting and educative meetings, they were left at home to spend their time at the store corner, or on the skating rink. Undoubtedly the time is ripe for a resump- tion of a general scheme for farmers meetings and discussions throughout this agricultural province. If we are to keep our boys on the farm, up-to-date farming methods must be in- stilled into them, and there are no better means ‘of bringing this about than by gatherings such as we have had during the week, and which, on a smaller scale, could be conducted throughout the province before spring work begins. A Veteran Statesman ‘ — All over the province and far beyond it, the . intimation of the death of the Hon. Jenn McLe/m, Souris, will be heard with deepest re- gret. Here the late Senator's name has been a household word for two generations, and for 20 years he was a highly popular and able member of the Upper Chamber in Ottawa. Of a retiring disposition he never sought publicity, neverthe- less, he_has been much in the public eye for the greatu part of his life. Deeds, not words, might well have been his motto, for he was a hard worker all his days, and whether in business or politics he believed more in performances than promises. A splendid orator when he was finally persuaded to rise, it was the hardest thing in -- "the world to get him to make a start. Having a fine command of language, a magnificent store » of knowledge, and a God-given sense of humour, , whichhe assiduously cultivated and developed, he was a never failing attraction on the political stump, in the Legislature, in the House of Com- mons and in the Senate. The pity was that he did not more often avail himselfiof his oppor- tunities of public speaking, especially in debate where his repartee and faculty of incisive anal- ysis made him a power with which to reckon. ,. Ben Jonson described him, better than any of his contemporaries when be wrote ;) “He was, indeed, honest, and of an open, muffle. nature: had an excellent aspect; brave notions, and gentle expressions: wherein he flowed with that . facility that sometime it was necessary he should U be stop'd, the pace being so swift.” . After a life well spent the Senator retired ,with all the honour which his province and country could bestow upon him, and now at a ripe old age he has passed to the Unseen. His works do follow him. r Municipal Costs i The Citizens’ Research Bureau, in its annu- al survey of the cost of municipal government in fCanada, points out that in sixteen representa- tive cities, with a total population of 2,872,916 or 26~5 per cent. of the estimated population of the Dominion, costs were up $4,205,841 in 1934. Relief costs were greater than in 1933, but these "nccountfor only $2,608,631 of the increase. The other million and a half increase, the Bureau suggests, is an indication that the cities are be- " ginning to put up their expenditures in nearly Ill directions. An analysis of the expenditure Q-t chews that in 1934 the cities spent more money on education, on police and fire protection, on high- ways, bridges and ferries and on recreation. The i ' expenditure on charities and eori-ection was, of course up, due to increased relief costs. Only in ‘ the category of health and recreation was there ; In four of the cities, Victoria, Edmonton. , Ottawa and Charlottetown, grog: expenditures 1;, were glightly smaller in r934 than in 1933. ln Toronto and St. John there was a slight increase V. pa. in population, so the per mplu expenditure was 1n the gross expenditurobut both cities increased, rue _ CHARLOTTETOWN GUARDIAN ma-evlvrwurwwtf.“ 44 .. r-— . of 1934 were greater than those of 1933.

The Bureau thinks there should be less taxation and less expenditure. This, of course, is a most desirable goal. The question every municipality is worrying about is how to attain it. Experience has shown themithat it is doubt- ful economy to wreck useful public services or to destroy assets by neglecting their upkeep.

LAWS AT nan Sin-In a former letter I called attention very briefly to a fact that makes all letters from your corres- pondents, who blame the Prohibi- tion Act for all the current roclal llls due to drinking, wholly wlde of the mark and absolutely without point. May I. take the rlvtleges of your space to repeat an emphasize that fuck , We have in operation in this province three Federal Acts which lf properly enforced will wholly take care of the situation so much de- plored t?) by your various antl- prohlbltlon correspondents. Note them. 1. A law forbidding any "common carrier" (railway, express company, steamship company, etc.) to receive for transportation into prohibition territory any liquors except those consigned to persons legally author- ized to receive them. This law, to the best belief of the people in gen- eral ls well observed mu enforced. And 1t ought to be said to the credit of the transportation organizations there ls no complaint to be lodged against. them. 2. The Customs Act which takes care_of all smuggling, and conse- quently ls vitally concerned with the smuggling of liquor (rum-running) 1n all seaboard provinces, as well of course as tn all others- 3. The Excise regulations which forbid the manufacture of'llquors except as authorized by license by the Dominion government. There can be, of course, no legal manufac- ture ln this province. Now, Sir, ll; does not take any careful consideration of the matter to determine that lf these three laws are adequately enforced there will be comparatively little for the Prohibition Act to do. If there ls no importation and no manufac- ture, there can be no selling and consequently no drinking with its baneful results ln social and fn- dividual life. It follows then that n11 this vociferous, not to say blat- ant, criticism of the Prohibition Act and its effects upon social and ln- dividual life falls into the waste- plle of the aslnlne and the hypoc- ritical. There ls simply no rhyme or reason ln 1t; no justification for 1t. For prohibition does not ln the least affect the situation for the worse where these three acts are concerned. The largest liquor stills yet found in Canada have been tn Quebec and other government sale territory. The biggest rum-running rackets have been unearthed, or floated, not in prQhlbitLon territory. but 1n government sale territory. Rum running and llllclt stills are not one whit lessened by govern- ment: sale, as the history of govern- ment sale ln any of the eight pro- vinces reveals. What. we wunt and need right. now ln Prince Edward Island ls an insistence at. Ottawa, on the part of our people, on a real attempt to enforce the Federal Acts provided for the protection of the high ideal of our province, and a faithful at- tempt; on the part. of the ROM-P. ln this province to do what they have been employed to do ln this regard, and 1n no oases to patron- ize the trade they are set to ellmln- ate. When I say we need "an 1n- slstence at Ottawa cn the part of our people" I mean among other things that the provlnclnl govern- ment, which can effectively speak for the people, ought to make the strongest. possible representations to Ottawa to provide for adequate en- forcement of the Customs and Ex- cise laws. And I tnng they ought to tell the people of this province that. they are doing this. The gov- ernment of this province ought. not. to be satisfied with such enforce- ment of the Acts as has been poss- ible from such low speed, unsea- worthy, ineffective boats as the Hul- lfax chronicle has revealed the rev- enue cutters "so called" have been in the main during recent ye rs. This information which has rec t- ly come to hand, and the sources of which Ottawa has suddenly and ef- fectively shut off, regarding revenue cutters rather takes the wind out: of Mr. W. K. Rogers’ sails when be recounts the formidable force that is being employed to prevent rum-- running, and then most unjustly tn- fera that all this is to make possible the rcement of the prohibition law. Nothing could be further from the facts of course. All this force. this equipment he talks about; would be just as necessary lf‘ this were government sale territory. It. is just as necessary tn Nova Seotla for ln- stance. For its primary intention is not to enforce the prohibition act, but the customs and excise laws. And ff, and when, these lewe are enforced, the prohibition low will operate satisfactorily. I challenge Messrs. Rogers, Clll- oen, Pro M ‘ ‘lone, senator Hughes, and all the other; on their aide who are anxious for better eon- dltlene 1n regards drtnklup, to join us in l.

It is estimated that in the over- age individual doing light. work the lungs and skin get. rld of 30 to 50 ounces daily of water. When there ls illness with vomit- ing or diarrhoea or both, large amounts of water are lost and therefore every little cell in the body cries out for water. Dr. F. A. Coller, Ann Arbor, Mich, reminds us ln the Nebraska State Medical Journal that the maintain- lng of a satisfactory water balance in the body can be judged or regu- lated by establishing a satisfactory amount of water loss by way of the urine from the kidneys. 'f‘hls ls due to the fact that the kidneys uses or has to get rld of any water that has not been cared for or thrown away by the other organs that get rld of water-akin, lungs, and low- er bowel. Normal kidneys working at; their best require about s. pint; of water to get rld of an average amount of waste material. If extensive damage has occurred tn the kidneys. three times as much water ls re- quired to get rld of the some amount, of waste material. The thought 1s that ln health the usual amount of liquids taken at meal tlmewlth a glass of water at 11 o'clock and 4 o'clock should be all that ls necessary for the average individual in good health. It ls only when there has been some ‘disease of the kidneys and the damage done means that there ls not as much kidney surface to get rld of wastes that more water ls really necessary- As mentioned before, those who are overweight can really do with even less water than the individual of average weight because the extra fat stored 1n their body ls usually loaded with water. This extra wat- er can be used by the body when needed. Drinking less water or other liquids will therefore reduce their weight.

Private Ven- dors they now admit, (under com- pulsion of clrcums ), are not to be thought. of. But lf the Gov- ernment would lppolllb the Vendors, and more especially 1f the Govern- ment receives all the profits, all will be satisfactory. Let us consider these in their order: First, an» the vendors. These, being appointees of the Govern- ment, presumably would be good men. We have seen how Government durlnu the many years when licen- sees were the appointees of, the Government. We have seen that the legislature had to intervene time and again, making one regula- tion after another to try to have persona selected for Ven- dors. We have seen bow the res- ponsibility wu ultimately shifted Irom the Government to the people themselves (at their school meet- lnn) and how the people at last, becoming disgusted with the whole system, refused to make any further , ‘ ‘ ‘ or to the system at Ill. Government appoint- ment; evidently are not to be true- Our experience also even under the Prohibition Act does not place teen of the Government en- tirely above critteirm. Guv Vendors are appoin- ted today, and have been appointed amen the role of liquor for medicinal purposes was taken out of the hllldl of dflllllil (in 1018). While until recently tlrele have been ap- pointed by the Board of Prohibition Dommiulouerl (recently abolished), yet the Board were the appointees of the Government. Indirectly, therefore. Vendors’ appointments oelno from the Government throulh the Communion. Today the Gov- ernment il directly relponalblo.

How can we with confidence look for better conduct; from Vendors should they be given the almost unlimited privileges of selling which would come 1n under Government Sale He that ls falihiesa over a. few things will be faithful over many, apparently ls the principle we will be mked to accept. Government appointment of Vendors ls not suf- ficient to ensure just and right: ac- tion. ' 4.—Proflts To The Government-- This ls the lest, resort of the Mod- eratlonlst. He has appealed to the lawles element ln liquor drinkers. He has appealed to their prejudice by trying to create a mistaken no- tlon of the violation of their "free- dom." He realizes no appeal would be listened to should he ask to bring back private liquor-vendors. 1n his extremity he puts his. appeal upon the high plane of Venallty. 1f Gov‘- ernments can only be made to tee, (without expressly or openly saying 1t.) that there ls money to be made in the selling of this products-well, perhaps the Moderatlonlst may win. An appeal on this ground is the lowest of all. - It means that what. was formerly condemned when done by liquor- llcensees who were private lndlvldu- als and who made gain for them- selves, ls now to be approved be- cause the profit goes, not to the private lndlvlduols, but; to the Gov- ernment. So t! all the words of condemna- tion that have been used by our legislatures ln referring to Licensed Beverage Sale are true, 1t does not matter at. all tf only our people themselves can share tn the profit. We have seen to what. extent the degradation of liquor-sellers took place under legalized Beverage Bale. m this degradation we are now to share. Nationalization with profits means cltlzen two-partnership and complicity. Alcohol owned by the Province has still the some physi- ological action upon those higher cerebral centres which are the basis of the highest powers of manhood and womanhood, moral and civic. These gentlemen, the Moderation- lsta, ask that we become partners in selling this some alcohol wntch lo the greatest single objective cause of loss of self-control, crime, vlce, social-degradation, child suf- fering, industrial lnefllclency and domestic unhappiness. To our Moderattonlets who claim to be temperance reformers by having sales of liquor conducted by the Government, it may be stated, "You cannot hunt with the hounds of temperance reform and run with the hare of prosperous trade tn tn- mxlcants." The lure and pull and- iil Iinrii-aiiffiiirm armnifliiii hold 0f Ii habit-forming DBTOOi-lc wretched torturing uml uftluwl like alcohol ls no less powerful and insidious under Government Sole than under any other system of sole. Bo-called "Government 0on- trol" ls merely the euphemlstle ex- Dreaalon for “Government Sole for Beverage Use." Instead of being "controlled" when sold by a Gov- ernment Vendor, alcohol diminishes aelf- ‘ ‘ and acts u an aphro- dlalao 1n exactly the some way and to the some extent that ft dld here- tofore when it could be lold by any license-holder in the Province, Government "Contra? la l, mir- nomer. Under its lystem there lo complete abrogation of effective control. When taken into the aya- tein alcohol tends to take away control from the drinker so that when he takes fr, in sufllclent quan- tity he becomes wholly “alcohol- controlled." - I 5m, Btr, elm, W I.
