Not only are the present school buildings greatly over- crowded, but it is claimed that they are structurally inadequate for a modern school program, that the equipment is in large part inadequate and outworn, and that the present curriculum is too narrow and re- inenis. As a temporary measure for the next academic year, the Board recommends that classroom space be sought outside school property to meet the anticipated increase in next year's enrollment. As a permanent relief measure the withdrawal of Grades 7 to 10 from the present buildings is recom- mended, allowing the remaining six grades to expand under a program of renovation and modernization. Coupled with this is the recommendation for parallel courses in in- dustrial- arts, home economics and com- merce up to the end of the eleventh grade. The Board brief also urges the need of a comprehensive high school, and an addi- tional resolution deals with the desirability of providing two such schools, without dup- lication of technical or vocational equip- ment. This matter is one which will require to be given very serious consideration, par- ticularly with regard to the question of cost and upkeep, and of possible alter- natives. The question of expanding the cur- riculum to include vocational courses IS more likely to meet with general agree- ment, but here too the problem should be studied carefully from every angle, particu- larly in view of the fact that we have a large and well equipped school in Char- lottetown for such facilities, built to serve the needs of the Province, and keeping also in mind that the most urgent need of al is to relieve the present overcrowding in the primary grades. The School Board is to be commended tion, and the City Council for its evident desire to find satisfactory solutions. But the first and foremost consideration should he the provision of additional classroom space, with regard to which there should be no further delay. This will relieve the situation temporarily, and allow time for the threshing out of the more involved questions, on which it is highly desirable to have the same measure of public under- standing and concurrence. Russia's Role Exposed Mr. Acheson, speaking for the United States at the United Nations Assembly, has placed all the free world under a sense of obligation by making public. in detail for the first time, the story of hmv Russia V armed and trained Nortii Korea for the If original act of aggression, and of hoiv Russia has since been helping to supply the Chinese armies in Korea. , in the latter part of 1945, Russia I brought 10,000 Koreans.to Siberia for mil- . itary training. The next year the training it of the North Korean army on an intensive scale really began. By 1948 this force numbered between 50,000 and 60,000 men armed with Russian weapons. It was doubled in strength in 1949. "This was done," said Mr. Acheson, "by adding to it between 30,000 to 40,000 con- scripts. There were returned from the Soviet Union the 10,00() trainees referred to a moment ago who had now been equip- ped and trained to handle tanks and air- craft. At this time alsothere were moved from Communist Ciiina two divisions of former Korean volunteer groups A that is, ' persons of Korean origin who were organ- ized into divisions and were in the Chi- nese Communist army were moved at this time into North Korea. It was these ad- ditions that formed the core of the North Korean army. . . . "In the early months of 1950 steps were taken to bring about the mobilization of North Korea. The army was again ex- panded to 150.000 to 180,000-something in that neighborhood -- with additional con- scripts, with the return of further persons who were being trained in they Soviet'Un- stricted to adequately serve the require- for going thoroughly into the whole ques-' , this date 1870. had been waiting was sent in from the Soviet Union. Some of it came directly across the border, some of it came through Manciiuria, and both the army and the air force were equipped with it. It included heavy artillery, trucks, tanks, automatic weapons and new propeller-driven aircraft. At this time also Soviet military advisers were attached at every grade in the North Korean army, beginning with the battalion level and including General Headquarters where the plans for the invasion of South Korea were worked out." There is the record, factual and un- answerable, which proves that Russia can- not come before the United Nations to- day with clean hands and an upright con- science. She comes before it as a nation that planned and plotted aggression and then had two of her puppets commit the iactual stroke of miliary aggression. Britain's Bountiful Harvest Faced with the import restrictions due to currency difficulties, the people of Great ;Britain have been urged by the authorities to grow more food. The reaction has been general on the part of the farmers and efforts. Home-grown food, it has been urged, is a dollar saver and represents a mainline of defence. This year's outcome may be regarded as ciimaxing the grow- morc-food campaign started with the out- break of World War II. THE GUARDIAN. CHARL the weather this year has favoured theiri 'lII i Coinciding with the campaign has been the changing over from manual to mech- anized farming. While this has brought about increased production, it has also sub- stantially reduced the number of farm labourers. Those engaged now are said to be less than in 1935) by about 80,000, but production has increased by nearly fifty per cent. Tractors have displaced lhorses in the greater part of the country. There are 260,000 of these machines com- pared with 60,000 in 1939. The combine harvesters, cutting and trussing and baling, make short work of gathering the harvest. From 20 in .1039, today 20,000 are oper- ating. The yield per acre is what amazes the visitor. This year it is higher than ever before. It is estimated that in 1952 Brit- ain has grown sufficient food to supply two- thirds of the population. The Department iof Agriculture is doing everything possible to encourage this development and subsidies are granted on grasslands ploughed and planted. EDITORIAL NOIES i in their very caution the political poll- sters were confounded. What none of the experts predicted was a landslide for either iPresidential candidate. C C U The Charlottetown Playground Com- mission has been considering the rather re- markable proposal to move its activities to Victoria Park next summer. That would iii- deed be a peculiar method of supervising play in the city squares. Charlottetown now has a branch of the Community Planning Association, Prince Edward Island Division. The association is for the purpose of studying and publicis- ing the principles of town planning. This city offers a striking example of how un- planned development can lower property values and raise the cost of providing the ordinary amenities of urban living. 0 O 0 Social security has the drawback that to be general it requires a certain amount of compulsion. A total of seven Saskatchewan residents were convicted during September ion charges of failing to pay their 1952 hos- pitalization tax, according to a recent re- port by G. W. Myers, director of the Sask- atchewan Hospital Services Plan. The fines plus unpaid taxes totalled 5586 for the seven persons. The favorable report of the engineers of the Department of Transport on the pro- posed extension of the runways of the Charlottetown airport makes it virtually certain that the work will be proceeded with. All concerned have long felt con- fident that the need and practicality of the proposal would result in success. Those who have urged the -measure, however, should postpone back clapping until work is begun. c' ' ' J Sir Herbert Louis. first Viscount Sam- uel, English Liberal statesman, was born In his long career in pol- itics he held many cabinet posts.

HEATHER POSSIBILITIES Sir.-Ii. was interesting to read Mr. McInnis' observations (writ- ten from Vancouver) on the pos- sibilities of growing Heather on Prince Edward Island. Mr'. Mclnnis suggests that some- think akin to Heather is growing in Prince Edward Island around Souris River and St. Peters. He suggests ”someone with botanical knowledge...compai'e these plants with the Scottish grown brand." This past summer Iva Docherty,, receptionist at the Prince Edward Island Information Bureau at. Wood Islands, gathered what 10- cal residents called Heather from the nearby beaches. This "Heath- cr" was taken to the Experimental Farm here where it was examined and pronounced to be Sea. Laven- der A sometimes called "Beach l;lcathcr." That is likely the plant Mr. Mclnnis saw on his visit to our Island Province. Besides being II. very beautiful flower, the Heather would also have very definite practical uses in Prince Edwiud Island. Who has not heard of the Heather Honey? Our Island bees could just. as easily produce that honey as the bees in Scotland provided they could reach the Heather. Af- ter the bloom goes off the Heath- er, in late summer, it. is replaced by B. bud which is excellent food for partridges and gives I gpecial flavor to these birds. The Heather is also used in Scotland for "blinds" by hunters. There. may be further practical uses for growing Heather and in- cldently there is no great. issue in suggesting that it. would be de- isirable to have such a plant grow- ing Province. I am.

"First the blade. then the car, then the full corn in the ear" and right along through the process God is at work. This puts form- ing on a new basis. A fine farm of good crops is a triumph of divine-human relations. As one drives through this country he is thrilled with the exquisite beauty and great frultfulness produced by God and man working together. Farming is, indeed, u noble pro- fesion, worthy of the beat. minds, and the cleanest. hearts. I farmed for ten you: but. I never saw farming In its divine light. I never understood its deep- er meaning and therefore missed the inspiration. There are good farmers who have never sensed the deeper meaning of farming but they rob themsel- ves of a. satisfaction of one who knows he is working with God. Alter the First. Great War. A young man whom I knew took a farm from the Soldiers settlement Board. It was s wilderness. The house was out of repair. The barn and outhouses were wrecks.

As one grows older, there is a tendency to attend more funer- als. That is natural enough, since friends are growing older as well and begin to pass away. Maybel that's why we've been noticing the frequent mention by ministers to this life as "si vale of sorrow and t.esi-5," or variations of that theme. Frankly, we think that is silly, particularly in this land of plen- ty and of freedom. Moreover, we doubt if itis a truly Christian point of view. In your life nothing but sorrow and tears? It is not likely. We know ours isn't. The days are not enough for all we'd like to do,iind the and of the week finds us too tired to it up sometimes. But it's a good life. we surely get more pleasure than sorrow out of our existence.-Fen gus News-Record.

They stand ready to undertake any kind of lnvestlgikion from how people vote to what. Siey talk about in their sleep. The question which formed the basis of this survey was: "Do you believe in God?" It was put to many thousands of people includ- ing Roman Catholics. Orthodox Christians, all the major Protest- ant denominations, Jews, Agnost- lcs, Atheists. No income group, race, or location was left out. Age groups ranged from High School students to extreme old age. Following are some of the re- sults: Only one out of every hundred interviewed answered the question negatively. That is to say. only 17.. do not believe in God. It does not mean, however. that intellect.- ual atheism is limited to that small proportion. Some who pro- fessed to be atheists said that they were not prepared actually to deny the existence of God. There may be u. God. they said, but. they had no way of being intellectually cer- tain about it. This seems to put that particular group among the ognostics who are usually not quite so dogmatic about disbelief as out and out atheists. . - . Broken down according to Chris- tian and Jewish religious milla- tions, the report shows that very slightly less than 1009:. of Roman Catholics have definite faith in the existence of God. The re- muinina fraction, so small as to in almost. negligible, expressed mild doubt. Non-Romans were almost as certain. Only ii. little more than 1?. professed scepticism, and only about 1-2 of 16;. gave an un- equivocal "no" to the question. The Jews. including Orthodox and Reformed. did not. do quite as well. Roughly 39:, of thug gave r less There are of course in every who put. themselves down as Christians but. who have no direct with any organized group. Disbelief in this group was comparatively high, 1295: to be exact. Another 3?; said they could not honestly answer the question one way or the other. . 3 I 0 Women an evidently more cer- tain than men when it comes to belief in God. Len than 1-2 of 1'14. put sthemselves down as unbelievers or dlsbelievers. 27:; of men were in that group. Higher education, the report shows, in not always an aid to re- llgious faith.

O I O The investigators were not con. tent to stop at the one question, "Do you believe in God?" For those who answered "yes" thgy had another intended to bring out the exact strong h and durability of belief. This as subdivided iu follows: (ii) Absolutely certain (h) fairly sure (c) not quite sure, but like to think there is (cl) not ht all sure, but not. sure there isn't. The answers to this series show- ed that 81572. of all persons inter- viewed wcre absolutely md un. conditionally sure; lo-K. were fairly sure; 2'76. not quite sure; and less than 1-2 of 17:. not at all sure. Broken down into denommiitloniil groups the results showed: Roman Catholics, 92';-3 absolutely sure; '19:. fairly sure; and 161- not quite sure. Non-Roman Christians, in- cluding Orthodox and Protestants of various schools, tllci. absolutely sure; 1051. fairly sure: 2",; not quite sure. Jews, 'l0ts certain; lath reasonably certain; 92'. not quite sure. No survey can be presumed to be infallible In either its methods or judgments. It. is not likely, therefore, that the results of this research into faith in God will gauge accurately the trend of fun- dsmental religious thought. in the United States or elsewhere. Ii. may be presumed, however, that they have I specific significance in the general intellectual picture. If they are at all reliable they do not seem to indicate any real founda- tion for the widely held pessimis- tic vlew that modern civilization is virtually Godless. It. is of course true that intel- lectual assent to simple belief in God does not. in itself imply moi-iil righteousness in any social group. But. certainly, it ought to be a great help in the develomnent of on faith. At least that is what such s. goal. PROFESSION AL CARDS M. Albun Farmer. Q.C. B.A., LLB.
