Room To Grow in a fast-growing community it ll to be rxpccted that the planning and construc- ion of the amenities of urban life shall lag obllind population growth. Such growing pains are difficult to avoid when expansion proceeds at a fast rate. Charlottetown's population, however, has increased in a moderate and steady fashion. It should not have prevented all residents from hav- ing adequate housing on well laid out streets, serviced with water, sewers, and light. It should not have been difficult to anticipate and provide schools for the steadily growing number of children. Play- grounds could readily have been added to those which the original founders of the ;-ity provided in their wisdom. That the Island capital has fallen down badly in many of these things is a reflec- tion on its citizens but it is also in no smafl measure due to the inelastic city Lwundaries. The fact is that Charlottetown proper reached the practical limit of its musing development long ago. The grow- ng population has had to find room to mild outside the city limits and the city squncil and other authorities have had no iuthority to make provision for the growth Ind expansion which are its vital concern. The problem has become more difficult with the passing of time. Unplanned de- velopment has gone on for years and the fringe areas have become incorporated -to attempt to deal piecemeal with problems that are not their own but fragments of the task of governing the whole community. The latest development is the construc- tion of the new Junior Composite High School on the North River Road. It is only technically within the city. Any circle drawn around it would take in far more of the Royalties than of Charlottetown pro- per. Despite this the site is a logical one for the real community of Charlottetown and it is high time that the legal boundaries were made to coincide with the actual facts of the city and its growing sections. Electrical Power Production Highlighting the pressing need for in- creasing electrical power production in the Maritimes is an article in the Bank of Montreal's latest Business Review on the importance of such power in our predomi- nantly industrial economy. Estimates of energy consumption in the United States and Canada have been made by convert- ing output from these sources into British Thermal Units. In 1951. the review states, the U. S. used 260 million B. T. U.'s per capita. against 201 million in Canada. Both countries obtained about 38-40 per cent of their energy from coal but water power ac- counted for 33 per cent of the Canadian total against only four per cent in the States. The U. S. A. leads all countries in pro- duction of electricity, the review points out. In 1952, its output approximated 400 bil- lion kilowatt hours. Russia's figure is re- ported at about 100 billion per annum. The Unitcd Kingdom and Canada were roughly equal at 62 billion kilowatt hours, in 1952. Only Not-xvay,'however, surpassed Canada n production per capital. By Provinces Que- Jcc is far in the lead with 52 per cent of the total. Ontario is second with 29 per cent. and British Columbia produces eight per cent. "The remaining 11 per cent is shared by the other seven provinces." In terms of consumption, about 67 per cent of total output was used by the various branches of industry, 20 per cent for domestic, commercial and municipal pur- poses, nine per cent was lost in transmis- sion, and the small remainder exported. The "pulp and paper industry, largest single user of electricity, consumed more than one-fifth of total Canadian production in 1951, and about one-third of all electric power used by industry. Metal smelting used 17 per cent, mining five per cent. , The review provides an interesting note from-3'-Dominion Bureau of Statistics bul- letin which reported that "Canadians en- joy one of the lowest rates per kilowatt hour in the world". In 1951, the average U. 8. consumer paid 2.81 cents per kwh, against 1.65 cents in Canada. Commerce and industry paid 1.4 cents in the Staten, compared with .6 cents per lawn in Canada for. the same year. ;Qpplto the rapid growth of hydro-eleo ult. ting capacity in Canada, the I lurthet expulsion of fu.-llltloa will be required. "Projects under way at the end of 1952 are expected to add a further three to four million horsepower in the next few years and, by 1955, total capacity should be in the neighborhood of -20 million h.p." Quebec is the most richly endowed of all the provinces in water resources whilci B. C. has undeveloped sites which may en-' able her to increase production eight or nine times over. "All other provinces have re- serves of water power in varying amounts -some of them sizable," the review con- cludes. For Canada as a. whole, estimates indicate ultimate potential development of 56 million horsepower of turbine capacity, although economic factors may be an im- portant deterrent to full utilization of the- oretical capacity. ”Nevertheless, Canada's still undeveloped power resources consti- tute a natural asset of significance and' promise." i one-Year Breathing space Commenting on the action of the United States Congress in renewing the Reciprocal Trade Agreement Act, President Eisenhow- er says it was "inadequate in many ways," but that a one-year extension of the trade legislation would provide a "breathing space”. This, he added would permit the nation to develop new trade policies, "based on a full understanding of our national in- terests . . . and an appreciation of the fact that those interests are inseparable from the interests of the free world as a whole." During the year of ”breathing space" a commission of seventeen members, as pro- vided by the Congress, will conduct a far- reaching study of the nation's import and export policies. As President Eisenhower has clearly indicated in his latest state- ment, and in many others, he hopes that the commission will support him in his 'de- mand for a higher level of imports, for the mutual benefit of the United States and its customers abroad. - Since the facts of the United States' trade already are well known. having been studied in exhaustive detail by the Tru- man Government and its experts, Mr. Eisen- hower's commission may probably be con- strued as an educational process designed to convince both the Congress and the peo- ple that a liberalized trade policy is urgent- ly required. "Mr. Eisenhower," says the Winnipeg Free Press" "is taking a year to convince the nation that its interests are inseparable from those of the free world as a whole. If he can succeed it will be a year well spent, even if it has postponed the hopes of foreign nations.,l EDITORIAL NOTES Sixtieth birthday of the Marquis of Sale isbury, British chancellor of the exchequer, actingiforeign minister in place of Anthony Eden in the cabinet of acting prime min- ister Richard A. Butler. Road Transport is rapidly taking its place in the Canadian National Railwaysl organization beside rail, steamship and air services. The development of the. road transport department makes it clear that the C. N. R. is not going to be by-passed in the growth in importance of any branch of transportation. It is good news indeed that the fire in the Library of Parliament a year ago caus- ed the loss of "only a few hundred books" and that it has been found possible to dry and rebind some 75,000 books and 600 vol- umes of newspapers. The loss will be even less regretted if, as seems to be the case, it speeds the day when this Eountry will have a National Library. Napoleon won his last great victory at much battered from the Russian campaign, he was plunged into the War of Liberation in which he was utterly defeated and exiled to Elba by a combination of Germans, Aus- trians and Russians, together with Welling- ton's forces which had previously been vic- torious in Spain. The vastness of this country is forcibly brought home by the finding of a lost 200- mile river through photographs taken by the R. C. A. F. The La Ronclere River was discovered in 1868 by Father Petltot north of the Great Bear Lake. Heavy fog pre- vented him from finding its mouth. In 1899 a naturalist of the American Museum of Natural History found an uncharted riv- er emptying into the Arctlc's Damley Boy but could find no trace of the mouth of La Ronciere.

C l A Hollywood film company, mo- tivated by a laudable desire for rr-allsm, has gone so far as tormovc its props and actors into Canada in order to make a film called "Sas- katchewan." Unfortunately. other concessions to actuality may be sparse. According to a Toronto newspaper. the company, Univer- sal-Internatlonal, is doing its work around Banff. and the director has suggested that the film's title was not chosen so much because it will deal with Canada's great. wheat- growing province, as because liSas- katchewan" sounds better than "Alberta." Yet it seems a pity that. with so many opportunities at lsand. Universal - International should limit its realism merely to the use of Alberta. as n locale-Oh tmva Ev:-nlng Journal.

Three neat columns were laid out with ruler and pencil and they were captioned Name, wins and Where, respectively. The teach- er. of course, supplied the names for that was part of his mission in life. (I say "his" for it never tell to my lot to be instructed by a. female pedogogue. Whether that was gain or loss, or I little of each, is I sub- ject on which I have no opinion and I certainly don't want any controversy about it.) The class was supposed to fill in the other columns without access to either text or atlas, it being as- sumed that the necessary research had already been attended to. In the course of a. year almost every city, town and village in the world. or so it seemed, not to mention the bays, capes, Islands. mountains, lakes and rivers, had been included in this geographical pot-pourrl. All of which will lead me present- ly to Dr. Mossadegh and his pink pyjamas. .g . . . It took quite a lot of diligent re- search - more than the impor- tance of the place warranted - to discover that Teheran was I city in Persia, but finally I got it. all down in the proper columns.

In its long and turbulent history Persia has seen many incredible things come to pass. Illlteracy, al- ways the handmald of oppression, has gradually given place to som- measure of popular education, tho first. requisite of a nation's on- llghtenment. Ancient dynasties, founded on the ruins of still more ancient empires, have evolved during long centuries of political trial and error into something re- sembling the modern concept of free government buttressed by the people's will. While legislatur- government. is still far from It state of maturity, t.he seeds have been sown and, given good grow- ing weather (free from commun- lst blight), they may yet bear abun- dant fruit. A "sticks and stones" agricultur- nl economy, which held the people in economic bonds. for many generations. has been given over to virtual abandonment.
