TUESDAY, OCTOBEI 1S, 1981 TRAIN SERVICE In connection with the curtail- lnent of our train service with the Mainland, the Board of ‘lrade has . decided to approach our Govern- ment with a view to an appeal be- ing made to the Railway Commis- sioners. As already maintained by The Guardian. this Pro- vince is in entire sympathy with the Railway management's desire to economize in every way possible. but wsdonot consider we should be particularly discriminated against. lo 10nd as the Ocean Limited and the Maritime Express are run for the benefit of the Maritime Provin- ces, this Province should share by direct connection with them. As an alternative to the restora- tion of the double service, it was suggested by several members oi the Board that the late train should be substituted for the early one. 1f only the Fall months were concern- ed thls might be all right, but when we take into conside atioh the snow storms, blocked lines and hold-ups in Winter and early Spring, it is doubtful whether the change would be so desirable as claimed. By the present arrange- ment, an occasional passenger may be delayed for a few hours in a comfortable hotel or home in Char- lottetown or elsewhere, whereas, by the proposed change, a whole train- ful of assengers, and express mail may be delayed under much less favourable conditions overnight. Is it not better to bear the ills we have than fly to those we know ing their rubbish, old cans, etc., out, and dumping them at the side of ‘ the country roads. This is not to be tolerated, God's co-operation. The laws labour on the land are plain. It man will not work neither shall he eat, yet let him work never so hard and be he never so lucky he will never receive a fantastic return. Hc does not behave as if he had the purse of Fortunatus, the rhythm of nature keeps him within sober bounds. ' The laws of high finance are dif- ferent They allow men and na- tions to live by false and illusory standards, to hope to get rich quickly and without effort, to ac- quire an ideal of life where lux- uries come to be looked on as ne- cessities, and the relation between what we desire and what we can afford becomes obscured. Divine laws are also laws of Nature, and it is a dangerous fril- lacy to suppose that a man or na- tion ihat sows sparingly can for ever reap plenteously. DUMP WANTED a free dump for the City. The new Hygienic organization has leased from Councillor Blanchard the sole right to use the erstwhile public dump, and now no one may cart rubbish there without paying a fee. The consequence is, The Guardian is informed, that citizens are tak- and can easily be Vtoc-PnelflsnO-J. B.

In Ontario pedes- trians must “keepto the left," and vehicular traffic‘ "to the right." The reason for this is obvious. By observing such a. rule, the pedestri- ans and drivers of vehicular traffic are always facing each other, mak- ing the risk of accidents very much less. In the old days, when the rule of the road was for vehicular traffic “to keep to the left", pedes is.» were made to "keep to the right." But when the law was changed for vehicular traffic, nothing was done to bring about a correspond- ing change with regard to pedestri- ans. i THE GREAT FACTOR Appropriate to the Thanksgiving mason is the reminder in the (London) Church Times that we not only say grace when the lar- der is full and our balance at the bank is a matter of quiet self-con- gratulation. The lean years and the anxious times send men to God Iith no lac, but rather a deeper. sense of the reality of their de- pendence than the lost years of -plenty. In this Province, despite low prices resulting from world wide de- pressioh, the harvesthasbeeri excel- lent and there is reason for abund- ant thankfulness One thing above material resources our people have been blessed with, and that is re- ligious faith. The stability of c1, civilization (to quote again from the English publication above men- tioned) depends in the long run upon religion, for nothing else can enable man to trust‘ in something more solid and enduring than the flux of material fcrcm beyond his individual control. If religion diu, the springs of vitality which keep society alive dry up, and decad- ence sets in. Harvest thanksgiving; recall us ' and the arrangements to have citizens use that as a dump, benefitting them thereby in two ways-providing an, outlet idr their ashes and rubbish‘ and reclaiming that land for their ultimate benefit in the finest public park in Canada. CHANGE IN CAPITAL The capital of one of the oldest and at the same time one of the newest lands in the British Empire has Just been transferred. The land is Northern Rhodesia, lone of the great stretches of territory which takes its name from one of the great figures of British Imper- ial expansiorn-Cecli John Rhodes. An agitation for the re-uniting of Ncrthem and Southern Rhodesia, was carried on for a time, but it has been decided that the time is not ripe for the reunion to be ac- complished just at present. Livingstone, in the valley of the Zambezi River, heretofore was the capital of the Northern State. Its name is one to stir the heart of every British subject, for it com- memorates David Livingstone, niis- sionary and explorer, who as long ago as I055 discovered and traced the Zambezi. Lusaka is to be the new capital, situated in the uplands where the tremendous mineral wealth of the country lies. Near must be well nigh inexhaustible gold-fields, for they were yielding the yellow metal before there was history in any part of the world storied lands of Sheba Lusaka are great gold-fields. They imcmcrized by every Britisher. This |is the quotation: and Qphir were not far away. it the most recent attention to b: paid to the district.

Civilized people prefer cooking perhaps because they have in mind the organisms crmlcrcbes that may be in raw foods, or because cooked foods look, smell, and taste better.‘ However since it has become known that valuable minerals and, vitamins may be lost in certain types of cooking, there has been a return to the idea that raw foods may be best after all. I What about this? There is not much argument about the cooking of starches. It is generally admitted that cooked starches are easier to digest than when raw. Lord lni-lii-zipc says in the London Daily Mull: l have been all my life a believer iii iiie commercial and cconoiliic value of Free Trade. But I clo not hcshuie, in the conditions iii which Great Britain finds hor- scif today. to admit the financial cxiniiiency ofa tariff for tile protec- tion of British industry and agri- culture.

Yet it has been found that if the white of the egg is cooked so that it thickens or coagulates it is much easier to digest. What about meat? I have spoken before of Dr. W.M.‘ Clifford's cxpevimcilts at King's Col- lcgt of Household Science, London. These show that meat when raw is in tile least digestible condition. The ‘most rapidly digested meat is that l which is roasted or grilled until it is ijust red inside with a moist surface when cut. It would seem that meat cooked in this manner is cooked suf- ficiently to destroy harmful proper- ties, and yet not cooked so that the fibres are made too hard for diges- tion. The kind of meat that takes longest tc digest is meat that has been boiled for a long time and then minced or put through a grinder. The most rapidly digested is an underdone roast. It would seem therefore that. for people with weak digestive powers or for young children, the ideal form in which to serve meat is an under- done roast, minced or chopped up after cooking. The whole point then is that slight cooking does not destroy the vit- amins, and yet makes meat more easily digested. ports. The luck 0i‘ material at the d15- crmneiit activities.

Premier Bennett's advice V’ spend and spend liberally has been scoffed at as ironic to thosevwho have nothing to spend. It is how- ever soundly economic, for there are billions of dolars available for investment, tied up in many cases in the hiding places of the timid. In our own Province this advice is not needed. Our farmers, the main- stay of commerce, are generous spenders. And they spend judicious- ly. As part of their burden in this wave of depression, they are un- fortunately limited by low prices for their products, and their spend- ing powers curtailed. And every business interest, regardless of sin or character, is feeling the pres- sure. To "spend, and spend liber- ally," in nation-wide optimism. yet with Judgment, would contribute much more towards removing de- pression and restoring confidence than all the meanings of wet- blariket pessimists and prejudiced critics- The gaunt spectre of want has not yet gained its foothold in our Province, may its hideous form never reach our shores. But we are not totally free from its ap- palling shadow. With courage and stout hearts let our people resent its intrusion. The silver lining of the cloud of better times is in view. with faith and courage we can stem the depression period uri- til prosperity returns. phantoms. United States statistics report 6,000,000 nominally unem- ployed. That ls, one out of each 16 of the population are not working. The other 15 are busy and the looker on can see the rush and crush of business as usual, the idle almost unperceptlble in the throng. A very large proportion of this six million are unempl yed for natural reasons. Many are on vacation, oth- ers temporarily laid aside during changes of business or alterations in plants. There are pensioners and others practically withdrawn from active service, yet seeking to earn an unneeded dollar. There are those who couldn't work if they would, and many who won't work if they could. Yet all of these and kindred classes are numbered in the official lists of the unemployed. The number of those out of work, and in actual need of employment, might be less than half of those accounted in the official lists. Consulting with a. business man in Boston I remarked upon the apparent absence of unemployed- everybody appeared busy. He told me if I would travel the subway at night I would find about five hundred sleeping on the' brick floors, with newspapers for bed- ding. l. asked,-“Hasn't this been so in the best of times? Have not news boys and others made this their night lodging place for years?” He answered,—-"Yes, but not nearly so many as this year." Therefore the increase of those night lodgers over that of pros- perous years represents the real in- crease of unemployed in that in- stance. A strike of longshoremen for better Wages was on. The shipping interests tried to substitute the men from the unemployed. Only I am sir’ etc" about half the places could be fill- L’ P‘ T‘ ed, and vessels were transferred to other ports to be loaded. Does dis- satisfaction at an 85c per hour wage, with nearly twice that for overtime, indicate distress in the labour market when a will; lement of the so-called unemployed could not be found to do the work?
