B. Earle MacDonald V pointed out in the Legislature——and as this paper has urged on several occasions —— the expectation of 9. causeway sometime in the future should not be allowed to interfere with our just demand for better lranspo1~tation facilities immed_ia.te‘l_v. ' Mr. McDonald is right in suggesting that even if the construction were to begin this summer it would-be vears—-certainly five’ years, more likely ten--before the big project was completed. And no matter which, party wins the election, construction won’t be started this summer, it is started at all. The survey will take all summer and probably the summer of 1959 as well. '.[‘Ihese things work slowly. Meanwhile, the facilitiesat Borden are plainly inadequate. This is a well known fact; and requires no engineering to corroborate it. The plain situation is that another ship of the capacity of the Abegweit is needed just as soon as it can be pro- vided; and we are a little surprised that this need has notbeen discussed I by any of the candidates seeking elec- tion. It would be a pitylif their silence on this subject were to be construed in Ottawa as -evidence ofsatisfaction with things ‘as they are, pending the‘ building of a causeway. . V It has been suggested that all, the talk about a. possible.causeway—-"-by the leaders of both parties—is‘merely a ruse to makethe people less arti- culate in their demands for_immed- iate improvement. in facilities; We cannot believe that this ‘is the ‘case; but the way to make. sure it isn’t' would be to extract from the‘leaders —-of both parties a pledge that a new V and satisfactory boat f61‘"‘l.'7llé”B01'.'de‘l1-N ' To1'mentine. run will be -madeiavaib able, regardless ofwhat‘ the survey may show, respecting the feasibility , . of a causeway. ExTra,o_rcl-i-nary,Incident L Yesterday. fa ft e r n o to n Préxnier Matheson »moved the A adjournm'ént ‘ of the Legislature at an early hour because there’ wasn’t a single Opposi- -tion member present. This action ‘may not have been necessary-——the ’ House carried on for four years under the Campbell Government without any official Opposition--yet most people will be inclined to agree that there was justification for speaking strongly and for taking action to bring the matter forcefully to public notice. Whether or not the Opposi- tion members were busy elsewhere on federal campaign chores, as the Premier implied, is beside the point. Their place is in the House when it is in session, and only illness or urgent special business affords -any excuse for their absence. There are, of course, only V four Opposition members, and an equal or /even larger number of Liberal mem- bers could well be absent without at- tracting much attention. But this argument works both ways. Their small number places an added obliga- tion upon the Opposition of being con- _ stantly on the alert. It is the Opposi- tion leader’s duty to see that there are no delinquents in his ranks. He should himself set an example of be- ing constantly in attendance, and when this is not possible he ‘should appoint one of his colleagues to take over in his place. it cannot be too strongly emphas- izzed that the business of this Pro- vince is just as important, politically, as that of Ottawa. For our Legisla- tive members it is of prime importa, ance. There has been evidentin the Throne Speech debate far too much concern over extraneous political is- sues on" both sides, so much so that the Speaker has had to cautionthe members in strong terms. - That should be enough. The members are not children, to be punished for mis- demeanours; but there are penalties which can and should be invoked when rules are persistently ignored. So far as attendance is concerned, Reauchesne’s Parliamentary Rules and Forms lays it down that “every member is bound to attend the service of the House, unless leave of .‘«')l.)S.F?.ll(f.€ V always will be”. has been given him by the House.’‘ Thai. rule is more f.T:'equ.entl,v observed in its breach, but it is there for the purpose of reminding all concerned of the responsibilities that go with public life. It should be sufficient to insure an adequate attendance in our Legislature at all times. World Weather Data For the first time in history, weather observations made at identi- . cal times throughout the world will be available in standard concise form at the Meteorological Data Centre set up in Geneva for the International Geophysical Year. Data collected during the first half of the “Year” is now being re- ceived, sifted and classified at the centre, set up by the World Meteoro- logical Organization to preserve the findings of the vast IGY programme. The information is gathered by some 2,000- land stations, ‘including _ the “grasshopper” observation posts which are dropped by parachute in remote areas, erect themselves and transmit data automatically by radio; observation teams at sea; and balloons and rockets. The observa- tions include details on radation, . ozone and atmospheric electricity and chemistry. ~ Principal meteorological data ga- thered during the entire 18 months’ lGY programme will be printed and published on some 18,500 bicrocards which will fit into 15 or 16 drawers of standard-size card catalogue cab- inets. A complete set of the micro- cards will cost» $5,990, but arrange- ments are being made to sell partial sets or individual cards.

The facts are that when the ‘C.N.R. officials suggested curtail- ment of services, Mr. Kickham, as our representative, did protest,» and he called a meeting attended- tives of commercial business, far- mers, fishermen, prrovincial repre- sentatives, and the then Mayor of Souris, Mr. Bruce L.

' This column has long express- ed the belief that our cumber- some and confusing four-party system was no more than a pass- ing fad; that inevitably our poli- tical picture would clarify to yield one party of the left and one party of the right; one party ded- icated to the principle of state socialism, and one party devoted to the-practice of free-enterprise. Thisdevelopment, I have always believed, would largely ,have to wait’ upon the ‘disappearance of the party leaders. of the post-war era‘, but. would be accelerated by a set-back in our post - war pros- perity. . . . .— .

Hudson Bay Outpost -National. Geographic‘ Society‘ After 275 bustling years, the Hudson Bay settlement. of_York Factory has been abandoned. Where the trade of half of Can- ada once flowed, there are now only boarded up buildings. _ York Factory’s name was mis- leading. It signified that the post was the headquarters of the Hud- son’s Bay -Company “factor" or agent. Little or nothing was man- ufactured there. Standing between the mouths of the Hayes and Nelson Rivers whefe theyflow into the we st coast of Hudson Bay, the Fac- tory was the keystone of the fur trade. There were gathered the rich beaver skins and other pelts from the vast wilderness to the west. When summer opened the Bay to navigation, ships brought in trade goods and carried out the fur. ‘ IN CENTRAL LOCATION York Factory stood in almost the center of Canada. It could be reached by «sea from Europe. Be- yond it stretched thousands of miles of trade routes to the in- terior. With portages, water traf- fic was possible all the way to what is now Edmonton, Alberta 1,000 miles to the west. Founded in 1682, 72 years after Henry Hudson discovered the Bay York Factory was for decades a bone of contention "between France and England in their struggle for control of Canada. It was captured. and recaptured sev- eral times. After the treaty of I763, when the British took permanent con- trol, York Factory grew in im- portance. It reached its prime after 1821, when the Hudson’s Bay Company "merged with the Northwest Company, its greatest 2 competitor. York. Factory ruled the trade until a new system of distribution lm~l< «we-1'. A_m€.'”lC3l?. tI‘ader's ‘had be 11 nibbling at the Canadian fur bu in-ess from Minnesota. Rail- roads reached the Mississippi Ri- ver in the 1830’s with obvious ad- vantages. Li n k e d to western ‘steamboat lines, the rails offered f a as t e r, cheaper ‘transportation than did the northern route through York Factory. Never large in terms of popu- -lation, York Factory was occu- pied by only 43 men, including of- ficers, near the mid-19th century. In -time, the Hudson’s Bay Com- pany itself turned to the southern route. York Factory’s importance declined, and by 1874 it was little more than a single trading post instead of the fur trade’s chief depot and headquarters. GAME, INDIANS LEAVE Local ‘trade with Indians enab- led the village at York Factory to hold on. But game and fur be- came scarce, and the Indians moved away. Last year the set- tlemenlfs heavy wooden door was locked, apparently for good. But the Hudson Bay route into York Factory had presided, has made a comeback. A railroad was built to tap the wheat lands of the_1nter1or. Engineers origin- ally planned to reach the Bay near York Factory, but they di- vented the line to Churchill, 1.5‘o miles to the north. Churchill now “I 1‘ 1 V G S, while York Factory stands bleakly silent. ‘ DENIES , ROYAL VISIT CANBERRA (R.euters)—-Prime Minister Robert Menzies said no proposals are under discussion be- tween the government and Buck. ingham Palace for Princess Mar- garet to tour Australia next year.
