CHARLOTTETOWN, All Should lfoto All that is left to say before the ballots are cost in today's contest is to repeat with still grecter emphasis what was urged in these col- umns yesterdayp-namely, the importance of every elector registering his or her vote. lf criticism heard generally throughout the Province is any criterion, the prospects of the Jones Gov- ernment are slim indeed. The Progressive Con- servative candidates have been enthusiastically received at their public meetings, andtheirplat- form seems to have met with "general approval. It is important to remember, as was stated yes- terday, that in the lost provincial election the liberals, though winning two-thirds of the seats, polled only 511$ percent of the total ballots. lt was organizational weakness, rather ‘than any lock of popular appeal, which lost the i943 con- test ro the Conservatives; and if this lesson has been well learned, the results today should tell I oYlrerent story. Nothing should stand in the way of getting out every possible vote. The fran- chise is o sacred trust, and it is by using it con- scientiously and intelligently that we show the sincerity of our faith in our British democracy. ,.__________ Yuletide Farm In ll’. K. British housewives are facing this year in- creasing burden of trying to make a merry Christmas for the family with less and less to do it with. Of course everyone is keen on the turkey, question now-so much so that farmers in Nor-i folk, the great turkey-breeding shire, have had to past guards around their farms. The guard: are armed, and some farmers are trying out a modified floodlighting system lo help them. ln- evitably, though, the block rnarketeers will somehow get o supply to be disposed of at fari- lastic prices as the festive season draws near. Just to show how difficult it will be for the average housewife to get a turkey, or any kind of poultry, even the Food Ministry seems not to ‘THURSDAY. DEC. l1. 1947 and the amount of loss covered by insurance was estimated at $3,778,000, iust under 37 per cent. This indicates that a relatively small proportion of farm property is adequately insured against fires. ' Fires were most frequent in barns or out- buildings and 45 per cent of all fires originated in these places. The farm house was the loca- tion of 38 per cent, and l5 per cent were stub- ble, bush or grass fires. The remaining 2 per cent of the fires concerned machinery and equipment. In addition to buildings, including the farm house, it is estimated that farm equipment was lost or destroyed in l6 per cent of the fires and equipment and live stock in l5 per cent. The frequency cf farm fires shows consid- erable seasonal variation, the late spring and summer being the season in which fires are most common. Nearly half of all farm fires occur in the four months of May to August. -- EDlTOlll/AL NOTES -- .___ r1... lost v.59 of Delhi died r1... dale rssz. |t has been a vigorous, well fought-out cam- paign, and to the victors will be givah the spoils.

Statement A statement has adinn Manufacturers’ Association which recalls the King Government promise right after the war to reduce taxes as rapidly as possible and to frame a fiscal policy to encourage the in- crease of private investment, in order to creat: remunerative employment. The present state of affairs is, of course, the negation of all that, with its 25 per cent additional excise tax on many commodities, The C. M. A. says the fundamental test of the new trade agreements on the one hand, new- ly imposed import bans and restrictions, on the other,.and the new excise taxes will be whether they increase or decrease jobs in Canada. The inference is strongly that the only possible re- suit will be unemployment. It will take some time before there is a clear answer ‘to the question. ln the meantime the C. M. A. members, charged with providing the bulk of employment in Canada, are in doubt and uncertainty. - _____.__l__.___ British Conservative Gain ln the Epsom lay-election in Britain last week the Conservatives polled 6,452 more votes thar. in the i945 general election, and the Laborites 3,294 fewer votes. The Liberals, con- volescing for years, made no showing at all. Conservative victory in Epsom, says the Ottawa Journal, has no significance in itself; the seat is traditionally Conservative. What is significant, though, is that the Conservative vote should show so sharp a rise, the Labor vote so A sharp a fall. 1f this he not a straw in a polo it is at least a straw in the wind. Mr. Africa's Government is not tottering. Clearly,_ however, its popular support is dimin- ishing, a lot of its future depending on what it can come up with during the coming year. The British electorate is probably the most disciplin- ed in the world, but it is also the most alert, quick to punish failure. Over here public leth- argy permits a government to get away with murder and continue in office indefinitely Over there, with a tougher citizenship, they are more watchful and realistic. 0,000 Farm Flros lt is estimated from a recent survey made by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics that there were 8,000 form fires in Canada in the 12-month period ended June l, i947. lt is difficult to obtain adequate representation of farm fires, ltifitlse if a fire is sufficiently serious to des- troy the farm residence and it is not rebuilt, there is little possibility of collecting information about the fire from a sample survey of households. However, even with this probability of under- estimating, tho results of the survey indicate that firm flrls occur with considerable frequency and cause enormous property damage. The estimat- ed value of form property destroyed by fire in ‘ the WM under review amounted lg $10,254,000 been issued by the Con- agcs. As long as the division lines of religion, politics, race, occupation and wealth, etc, do coincide the more such divisions the less chance of any widc split caused by any of them. I‘ N’ i i’ The reason why cases of ships breakinglin two have become more common in recent years is the adoption of welded instead of riveted con- struction, Although the weldml joint may be stronger than the plate itself it locks the "give" of a riveted joint which allows a big ship to bend slightly with any stress. Now that the election campaign is over it is worthy of note that the Maritime Electric Company is now on Island corporation having removed its head office from St. Stephen, N. 8., to Charlottetown. lt is up to the company to iustlfy its existence by providing cheaper and more effective electrification of the Island than could be done by any government commission.

The second reason for prejudice ls hostility. Friendllness will 165d from 1lost.il11:y' to understanding vvlzhunt prejudice. Ignorance can he overcome by an endless process of bringing _ facts pertaining to a situation to light. Hostility, troy:- ever, is n much more difficult e1e~ merit. of preludlce to deal ivllh. There seems to be an agreement among psychologists that hostility is caused by frustration. Frustra- tion arises when our fundamental desires and wishes are blocked. Frustrations frequently plle up one Tormentine. upon the other with the cumula- llve result of hostility. Repeated,‘ frustrations may lead to a strong- dcslre to abuse others. , If hostility could be gotten r1d' as quickly, normalcy of attitude, would be restored. socially op» proved releases of hostlllly are not always possible. therefore there is frequently a grout deal of hostility dammed up within the lndlvldua.

The Committee estimates that the total cost would amount; to Bbmlf- 53% million ($18 million). The purchase price of the land itself would be £1,300.000 ($5.200.- 000). while the provlsion of the necessary holidpy accommodation and recreational facllltles would require another £150,000. The re- port suggests that the capital ex- penditure could be met from Britaln‘: National Land Fund of £50 mllllon by setting aside £2 mil- lion for s separate Scottish fund. when the Parks are established the annual expenditure will be £150,000 $600.00) an wager and upkeep. There will be no charge for sdmloslon, but sir-lot measures will be taken to ensure that this easy access does not drive rvwny or intimidate wild animals and birds who make their" homes 1n these Parks.

Thls will include regional organizations with o mobile staff and a. central head- quarters.

N. B. Smelt Market (Saint. John Telegraph Journal) Smelt fishing ls again under way along our Gulf of St. ‘Lawrence and ltlorthumherlnnd Strait coast. and fishermen are hoping for a gnarl season. At this stage, the indic- ations seem to he favorable, for catches ln the lost week have been large and the price, now tvrenty cents l; pound, 1s sold to be more likely to go up than down. As ls the case with most fish, smelt have mysterious reproduction cycles. For a few years they will steadily lncrense, According to esc- perts they are now 1n one of the periods when they grow more plentiful. The delicately-flavored smelt, regardedby. so many people as a rare treat, has the distinction 0f being the first quick-frozen pro- duct ever offered to the public anywhere. Caught through the ire an a bitter winter day, they are so small and of such n texlum that. they freeze almost instantly when they are exposed to the alr- frecze as rapidly as most foods treated by nltrarnodern quick-freez- ing processes. Another point about them. 1n which economists will be more interested than gourmanrls, ls that New Brunswick controls sixty-five 1o Seventy-five per cent of the entire supply on the Atlantic Coast. Prince Edward Island lands some smelt. around l_()00,0()0 pounds annually, as does Quebec, Nova Scotln lands a very small volume. Tho bulk of the catch, some 5,000,000 pounds. ls taken ln New Brunswick. In vlmv of the fact that we have a virtual monaply on the supply the fact. that we have permitted the price to drop 1n thr- past; to y. few cents a pound hesponks an in- ferlor system of mnrketlng.
