"Ibo Strongest Memory is Weaker "NM the Weakest ink". CHARLOTTETOWN. FRIDAY. JAN. 25, 1952 A New Governor General History has been made by the appoint- ment of the Rt. Hon. Vincent Massey as Canada's first native born Governor Gen- eral. Whether this change in Canada's con- . stitutional development will prove beneficial or not is a matter of dispute, but there c .n be no question as to the high attainments oi the appointee. As High Commissioner to Britain during the war years, as Chancellor of the University of Toronto and chairman of the Royal Commission on Arts, Letters and" Sciences, Mr. Massey's name is known far and wide. lie is in every sense of the word a cultured Canadian, and no better choice could be made in view of the Gov- ernmentis policy of breaking with tradition by selecting a native son for this high of- rice. The danger lies in bringing the Governor Generaliship so close to the field of party politics in Canada. Taken in conjunction with the scrapping of the word "Dominion" from our official designation, and of the word ”Royal" from His Majesty's Mails, it marks a further severance of the ties which have bound us to the Mother Coun- try since Confederation, and under which we have enjoyed a full measure of British freedom. The change perhaps was inevi- table, but its real advantages have yet to Temporary employment is given to persons up to the age of 60, but this is also ex- ceptional, and is generally done during a period of rapid but impermanent growth of certain government services, such as the present Department of Defence Production. Superannuationrules make retirement auto- matic at 65, although in special cases a man may continue to work a year or two longer. ' Mr. Martin said that since 1900 the age of the average person has been extended by 20 years, and that this fact occasions a new approach to the whole question of old age. The Government might help industrial employers to find this new approach if it explored the possibility of raising the super- annuation age of government employees, from 65 to 70. It might, too, extend up- ward the age at which permanent em- ployees could be hired. Federal Government action in this field might do more than any number of speeches, however well- Real Life Drama reasoned.

Yet. where hle went to school. in studying his writings we find Burns was no saint. He fell in how aptly his words apply to con- temptations as all of us do. But dltions which at present exist in always he did believe - "Religion our own time. some years back has not only been all my life my this was pointed out. in a Scot- chief dependence, but my dearest tish weekly and I now pass it on enjoyrnent." with but few exceptions. Burns. therefore. would hsvi been more than disturbed It thi world's laxity toward religion to- day. ”Reverencc to God I hope i shall ever preserve." He would have deplored the small congregutioni in our churches. As he though. happy families were essential to i happy nation. he would have writ- ten in his own magical harmony that God-fearing nations are es- sential to I peaceful world. He would have used mystic and violent words to .prove that only God's sons can be the ”brothers' he desired all men to be. He would have lyrically counselled reliance on the spiritual values of life and wildly decried the secular tinge in present day civilization. In I re- turn to religion he would have seen the "hope of heaven" for the Peace. thy olive wand extend And bid wild war his ravage end Man with brother man to meet And as ll brother kindly greet. Burns lived when Europe was scounled by war. Britain was often ll"t1Vlly involved and at times fast- ed temporary defeat. Burns hated war. "Miser and ruin to thous- ands are in he blast that announ- ces the destructive demon." But if he hated war, Burns loved freedom. ”I am I Briton and must be interested in the cause of lib- e'ty." Proud words. natural from 1 man whose own country had struggled dearly for freedom. Not only his pen, therefore, but his personal services as I volunteer made Burns an ardent supporter of the United Nations and its pow- erful efforts for world-wide peace.

This is a post of vital importance which Prime Minister Churchill himself has filled with distinction, and for which he has been seeking the most competent and experienced man available. Canada's loss in this respect will be Britain's gain, and we cannot cavil at that. We are still part of the vast Commonwealth of British na- tions, and in defense matters stand shoulder to shoulder as in the past. It is well to em- phasize, as we sever one more of the out- ward trappings of our constitutional ties, that the inner bonds remain and that in our loyalty and allegiance to the Throne and to the principles of British democracy we are unchanged and unchangeable. pert steps well out on a limb and predicts that from Jan. 15 to Feb: 15' New York, and presumably the Maritimes, will enjoy higher than normal, or much higher than normal, temperatures. C O Q A Quebec Legislature sitting since Novem-i ber has prorogued, and now politicians are anxiously waiting for word as to when it will be dissolved and the date of the next election. Under their new'Provincial Lib- eral leader, Mr. Lapalme, the Liberals feel they will give the National Unionists un- der Premier Duplessis a stiff run for vic- tory. The National Unionists have run into party trouble, especially at Three Rivers, the Premier's home poll. C I 0 ll; General Election In '52 Unless some quite unforeseen issue arises in the summer, says Saturday Night, you can write off all the talk about an election this year. It's difficult to know where the rumors started, unless it was with James G. Gardiner who would like to get in an election before redistribution re- duces seats. There seems at the moment to be only one chance of an election being held on the pre-census distribution of seats. That would be by accepting "Chubby" Power's bill to refer the problem of redistribution to a commission, which could not possibly re- port for a year or two. Short of some such manoeuvre, which might suit Mr. Gardiner but would rob British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec of the extra seats to which they will be entitled, redistribution will be tackled by the next session. Visiting huntsmen are a sore trouble in ' their season. We want them for the busi- n ness they bring us, yet we do not like them to skim the cream of the birds while the farmers who, more or less, look after them all winter, are too busy on the land to participate in the opening of the season.

Government Jobs Speaking at the Montreal convention of the Dairy-Farmers of Canada, Hon. Paul Martin, Minister of National Health and Welfare, warned that the attitude towards i employment of older workers must be changed "if we are to prevent one of the greatest wastes in our use of manpower."

We don't know why women of earlier generations fainted so eas- ily. some say it was because of the tight corsets they wore. Others claim it was only a fad to stress the delicacy of the female sex. in any case. whether it be due to less restrictive "foundation gar- ments," to a toughter disposition. or merely because it is no longer fashionable. women now don't faint easily. Modern women, in- dead, are neither squeamish nor queasy. Where some men will "pass out" quickly at the sight of an accident, most women take such things in their stride.
