It is imprudently pointed an by some that those who use alcohol immoderately cannot be successful citizens. Now we should in to think this is true. but we um it is not. England's history its over two centuries at least is simply studded with illustrations of successful topers. Literary figures like Addison. Steele, Lamb. to take only essay- iils, were notorious drinkers. somehow they managed to do lirsi-class work. and they have our hail of fame. statesmen ml and Fox were so notorlo ly dinipiited that Lord Rosebery was moved to write of the latter that his dissipation "was hardly paral- leled in that dissipated age." let nothing he said of the poets of the last centuryl Drunk- irg-have been and still are, only too-often. successful leaders in most walks of life. ,'l'hey may be the exceptions rather than the rule. but they are not isolated ex- ceptions.

How are we to give modern issues tnu king of consideration? only too many 09 ill hlfdiy know what we want or why we want it. We are espec- ially haly about our motives and intentions. If we really want to make these worth whue. we have to recall that the principle of all things and their end is the same. We come from God and will re- turn to God. The proper appraisal of anything must be founded on the constant realization of this truth. BLILLETINS FROM BlRDl.AND i 1mlirasb:.wIl.sotr WALKER! OR IIOPPEBS The common English Sparrow and the Pigeon may be watched any day in our Canadian cities. yet how few of us have" noticed the difference in their gait. A Sparrow hops, planting both feet down at the same time; a Pigeon waddles forward. putting one foot in front of the other. and rhyth- mically moving its head fium side to side. The great majority of land birds hop, so the sparrow is acting normally; the Pigeon is one of the exceptions. shore and water birds walk. The Pigeon's waddle is some- thing llke a Duek's. Shore birds. like the well known little Band- pipers, often leave their tracks as they run along the edges of ponds. The footprints of a Great Blue Heron on a sandy beach prove by their psttem that the bird walk- ed along. Cranes are able to run around a few hours after they are born. Rails walk much in the manner of Hans. Null when flush- ed prefer to run away rather than Yet comparatively few land or song birds get over the ground except by hopping. Therefore a very good distinguishing mark for two of the little Warblers is their curious habit of walking. The Water-thrush (which is not a Thrush at all. but really a Warb- ler) behaves remarkably like a Sandpiper. It not only walks like one. but teeters very like the fa- miliar small Spotted Bandpipor. The Oven-bird. klrgown to many ls cnl b ' A " 0 :3. "'l?ea,cher): teacher, teacher." is the other walking Warbler. If you are surtunate enough to get a glimpbe of it. notice the pale pink little less. The Ruffed Grouse. usually spoken of as a Partridge. struts about in its woodland home. The Meadowlark is another of those exceptions. But you have more chance of seeing a Graokle than either of them.

Playground Commission Active The City Playground Commis- sion. who have been doing'so much along the same lines for the past few years, are planning an sptive season again this year in fixing up arid organizing their programs for the playgrounds located in the various squares and centres throughout the City. Whether being done individually. as Mr. Riggs has done. or by a group such as the Playground Commission, these centres for re- creation are a wonderful thing for the youngsters and are de- serving of the full support of the community as a whole. Keeping the children off the streets where they can play in safety and enjoy healthful re- creation is a public service thnt every parent and child. alike can appreciate, and it is hoped that the Commission will receive every support in the program efforts again this year.

Barry was a loveable and kind child. always willing to help in his own little way. He was on his way home from running an errand when he met his sad fate. being hit by a truck. Everyone who knew him. loved him; his smiling little face had won for him a host of friends who will ever cherish his memory- The funeral which was very lg)-gely attended was held on sat- urday.

ST. JOHN'S. Nfld.. June 7- (CP) - Donald Gordon, President of the Canadian National Rail- ways. said Tuesday that money. availability of materials and msripowe-r are three man factors ma-nagement must bear in mind when analyzing new railway pro- jects. "Costs must bear some re- lationship to revenue traffic. real or potential," said Mr. Gordon in an address prepared for delivery before the St. John's Board of Trade. ”Locomotives, rolling stock and other supplies cannot be turned out overnight and when defence requirements of strategic metals are given over-rid-ing priorities then our prcgrairis become diff- icult. uncertain and subject to re- visions." Of the manpower problem. with particular reference to available supply to expert assistance, Mr. Gordon said: "it takes I life- time of experience and training to develop some of the special skills ceded and many projects simply have to await their turn on dra-ughting boards; or in .sui-- veys because the shff of senior skilled officers is limited." Expansion Necessary Ho said the Newfoundland Railway and its associated facil- ities, when they became part of the C. N. 11., showed evidence of having been managed by capable rallroaders. But like all railways it had suffered from the financial famine of the depression era and from serious shortages of ma- terials and manpower: during the post-war period. It was necesary to expend large capital sum: for Newfoundland lines. New railway equiprnent rc- celved or on order totalled 438 units, representing an lrrveetrnnent of 32.639330 imp. vemonts to the Newfound- land Hotel will probably cost close to 31,500,000. he said. The rail- way working forces have been in- creased by about 000 men. and all employees have received the scale of wages. pensions and other emoluments in force on C. N. R. lines elsewhere. with 4.500 em- ployees the system is the largest single employer of labor in the Province. Mr. Gordon said there is no possibility in the foreseeable fu- ture of a change from narrow to standard gauge in Newfoundland. Practical necessity and traffic po- tential do not justify the heavy expenditure involved, he said. . North Sydney Ferry Mr. ordon announced that a new fe y between North Sydney and Port-a-ux-Basques is expect- ed to go into service in less than two years. The ship will be able lo.make a round trip every 34 hours. including time out for loading and ' "'ng. and be able without difficulty to plow through heavy floc ice in the Cabot Straits. Carrying capacity will be 800 persons. 75 automo- biles. six trucks. two trailers. 50 head of cattle and 650 tons of cargo. A new dock will be built at Port-aux-Basques and the facil- iendod and improved.

The panhandler who sl-ugged Social Credit Leader Solon Low on an Ottawa Street the other day, after Low had re- fused him a handout. got off lightly when he was charged only with common assault. For slugging an MP. in case you're ever tempted. is a griev- ous offemo-much more grievous than assaulting an ordinary citi- 2011. As one authority (Bourinoi) puts it, "assaulting. menacing or insulting .of any member in his coming to or going from the House. or on account of his be- haviour in Parliament is a high infrlngemenit of the privileges of the House." For so doing. one may be jugged for an indetei-rninate per- iod of time. or otherwise pun- ished. at the discretion of the House of Parliament of which the injured MP is a member. In Britain such action is "a most outrageous and dangerous violation of the rights of Parlia- ment. and a high crime and mis- demeanor". ln the past. offend- ers have been hustled off to the Tower of London and incarcer- ated there at Parliamen-tis pleas- urkvwihich means until Par- liament's honor is satisfied and the culprit sufficiently punished.

British Rifle: The British Gov- ernment didlnit appreciate being beaten by this column on the an- nouncement of the Britlsli's Army's adoption of a new .200 ca-l. automatic rifle. When that news was published here on April I3. iihe British were making plans to send a niei-norandvum on the new rifle to Commonwealth S. S. Kyle to be retired from the Labrador nun. Mr. Gordon said expansion in the communications field has al- ready involved a capital outlay of between 3600.000 and 5700.000 and additional investments now are being made. The 23 telegraph channels have been increased to 59 and a new leiephoiie channel, placed in operation. Circuits of full broadcasting quality have been provided for a daily pro- gram eervice on a 16-hour basis. Government: on April N.
