JULY 30. 1953 I Potato Board controversy The Federal election campaign notwith- standing, the most lively issue in the Prov- ince at the moment is the petition being presented today to the Provincial Gov- ernment dealing with the marketing of po- tatoes. A great many charges and counter- rharges are being levied by the friends and opponents of the P.E.I. Potato Market- ing Board. The power behind the attacks on the Board is gained from its minimum price policies which last year were based on the erroneous assumption that a scarc- ity existed. Many dealers and growers made the same mistake but their losses are their DWTI. Although the Board's miscalculation furnishes a ready weapon to attack it, the more fundamental issue involved is the profound mutual mistrust which exists be- tween the Board and a great many engag- ed In the marketing of the crop. There is the suspicion, for instance, that the Board contemplates taking the whole task of mar- keting into its own hands and the con- trary suspicion that dealers would try to do away with all regulation of the indus- try, leaving it at the mercy of the least scrupulous speculators. Neither of these suspicions is valid so far as the large responsible majority is con- cerned. The number of Islanders who do not aim at a prosperous potato industry is so insignificant that they can be disre- zarded. Dealers should not object to regula- tion which prevents the glutting of mar- kets for they are the losers when prices fall and they are caught with large quanti- ties on hand. The Board and the Federation of Agriculture is well aware of the enorm- nus amount of work and the countless con- tacts necessary to dispose of the yearly crop to best advantage. What is needed today is a recognition of the honest aims of all concerned with the industry. Confidence of the Board in the dealers, the dealers in the Board and the farmers in both will go far towards ironing out difficulties as they arise II. N. Rehabilitation Project: An interesting illustration of United Na- tions activity is given in the report of .1952. recently published, of the U.N. Tech- nical Assistance Administration, which op- erates chiefly through seven of the United ed to train Egyptians for the same good work in other Arabic-speaking countries. In Greece, besides geological mapping! of discoveries of minerals and underground! water, development of oil-cloth and linoleum 5 manufacture, and the organization of all government statistical service, TAA is at' work among the villagers encouraging them to develop a ”community" sense, and to pool their labor in the making of roads, water and sewage systems, and land re- clamation for the common use. In many ways, TAA co-operates with the Economic Commissions for Asia, for Europe and for Latin America whose an-l nual expenditure runs to .nan.V mi”i0”5; of dollars. I Royal Effigles In the course of his duties as assistant keeper of the Muniments at London's West-I minster Abbey, Mr. R. P. Howgrave-Gra-N ham has made discoveries of considerable historical interests. Of the discovery and, restoration of a number of royal effigies in Europe, he comments in London Calling that the work was concerned with a num- ber of portrait figures of British Sover- eigns, of the kind that were made centuries ago to lie in state with the coffined body of a king or queen, and later to be carried in ceremonial procession to Westminster. Great pains were taken to make these ex- act likenesses, but unfortunately many of them were badly damaged-by time and by the effects of wartime bombing, which exposed them to the open air. The most important of these discoveries is that two of these effigies are actually death masks from moulds made from the dead faces. The mask of Edward III, who died in 1377, actually records the paralysis which ended his life, and provided medical reasons for believing him to have been left- handed. This is the oldest European death mask that we know of. The other is of Henry VII, who died in 1509. It shows a manly, open face with strong Welsh char- acteristics. - The accounts for the making of the cf- figy of I-lenryls wife, Elizabeth of York, are complete to the smallest details, and can be checked by examination of the fig- ure. We know the names of the men who carved the head, copying her death mask- Hair was recovered from most of the ef- figies, and it was examined by Dr. Holden of Scotland Yard. He found that it was all human except for the eyebrows of Edward III, which are dog's hair. One effigy was that of the' pathetic figure of Henry V's wife, the tdear Katel of Shakespeare's play, Katherine of Valois.

Since the end of 1951 TAA has extended its work to 77 countries and territories-19 more than in the previous .12 months. It has increased the number of expert advisers sent abroad from 165 to 451; and the fellowships and scholarships granted to persons in underdeveloped coun- tries to study special subjects abroad from 451 to 729. The total expenditure in 1952 was S7,013,938. more than four times that of 1951; and its estimated spending this year will be about 317,227,598. Part of this large sum is drawn from the U.N. budget. part is voluntarily con- tributed by different Governments. Hardly any country seems without its obligation to TAA. Even highly-developed, Canada was awarded a social welfare fellowship for the study in Europe of housing and town and country planning. Denmark stands high as one of the best administered countries in the world. Within the matter-of-fact. records of T AA there is much to stir the imagination. In Afghanistan, economic development seems to be the order of the day. Geolog- ists and engineers are bringing to light stores of underground water for the bene- fit of the Karakul sheep, whose fleeces are WAfghanistan's best paying export.

TDOCOOOSOOOOO Notes From , Another Island by "Anson" LONDON. England: Possibly nothing in the past decade has mystified foreigners so much as the result. of the. British General Election of 1945 when Winston Churchill was voted out of the office of Prime Minister. He had led us through years as black as any in our history to a triumph that seemed miraculous by con- treat with all that had gone be. fore. He was the man of the age. the idol of millions not only in his own country but throughout the world. Yet. at the. very pinnacle of his power, at the moment when it might. have been supposed that no. one could seriously challenge him, he was dismissed from office as summarily as if he had been some unsatisfactory journeyman. The world might well be surprised.

But one were to hazard a guess it may not be too fanciful to imagine that Mr. (as he was then) Churchill was in; surprised than most people. He is too old I hand at politics to have taken the re- sult of that election for granted; too experienced to presume to know in advance which way the electoral cut would Jump. Those who were surprised should perhaps have known better.

In the bush country of the North it is strictly a. case of the survival of the fittest. Adult humans lost in the bush are almost sure to sur- vive if they do not get. panic- strlcken, but lost. children seldom survive more than three or four days. It; is possible to impress on the minds of adults the very im- portant truism that the best way to be found by searching parties is to stay in one place. Most adults have some cutting i lement. and the means of making a fire. When a child is lost, whether in the bush or a city, it wanders and wanders until it becomes tired.

War was just as stern and relent- less as it had alivuys been, but there was a growing feeling that victory brought responsibilities as well as glory and plunder.
