Saville on thci danger of depleting the lobster supply by poaching. The industry is far too valuable a one and too many families depend upon its prosperity for us to allow it to be de- stroyed. The same thing could happen as hap- pened to the great California sardine fish- ery. The sardine industry in that State was warned repeatedly over a fifteen-year period against the danger of ov'cr-fishing. instead of restricting the harvest within bounds. the industry added more boats and built additional processing plants. A few years agoKCalifornia, according to the New York Times. produced 8. billion and one-half pounds of sardines. Today that State does not produce enough to provide bait for the sports fishermen. The lobster is even more vulnerable to ovcr-fishing than the sardine because of the relatively small movement of the crusta- ceans. An area can be quickly cleared of lobsters and when that happens over a fairly wide area it is going to be a long time before the supply is replenished. The answer, of course, is to leave the growing lobsters behind as the law requires so that when taken they will have attained full size and have left numerous descendants to carry on their share of a valuable indus- trv. ;Trinter's Mistake Even itinerant evangelists have their troubles. In proof of this assertion we cite the case of Billy Graham, famous Ameri- can lay preacher, who is now delivering the gospel. as he sees it, to Londoners and anybody else who comes within reach of his powerful voice. According to re- ports he is not running short of crowds. These are mostly friendly, although now and then he has been heckled in the half-serious, half-humorous, Hyde Park fashion. It will be recalled that Mr. Graham went to England at the request of a num- her of religious leaders in that country who hoped that he might help in the cur- rent campaign to strengthen the influence of religion which, according to these same leaders, is badly in need of repair. As is customary in evangelistic crusades, a pamphlet, outlining in broad terms the plan of the itinerary, preceded Mr. Graham to London. Included in the pamphlet as it came from the printers was a paragraph which quoted Mr. Graham as saying that "Socialism is bringing ruin to Britain." The word intended was "Secularism"; the mistake had been made by some printer and, as often happens in even the best. quarters, the proof-readers had let it go unnoticed. By the time the evangelist and his sponsors got round to making the cor- -rcction the damage had been done: 'what was nothing more serious than a printer's error was being tossed about as another example of "American inipudence" tlot Hitlerism in the anxiety aroused all over the free world by the failure of President Eisen- hower-.to curb the excesses of Senator Jos- eph McCarthy. notes the Hamilton Spec- tator. the words "Hitler" and ”i-Iitlerism" are beginning to be heard with disquiet- ing frequency. But while the rabble-rous- ing stock in trade of the junior senator from Wisconsin may be identical in its self- glorification, emotionalism and prejudice with that of the late Fuehrer of the un- lamented Reich, there is danger in drawing '1! second, and false, parallel and confusing ,the circumstances of the United States in .thc 1950's with those of Germany in the ;1930's. I The great difference between Hitlerism land McCarthyism, says our Hamilton con- temporary. is that the former set up imaginary bogeys to excuse its excesses but the latter fights--even if for cynical and selfish ends and even if wlti- excesses lot its own-A bogey which is real. If Mc- Carthyism is equated with Hitlerism, then the Communist becomes A victim. A figure ins innocent and as tragic as the Jew chok- ing in the gas chamber; we must riuccour the Red And take him into our bosom. That .3 way lies ruin. ; Another profound difference stems from gthc fact that every "ism" has two com- ponents-thc leader and the follower. The ledon of Hitlerism and McCarthyism may bu rtnrlhr; the followers. in mail. are most 5 I not. The ordinary American (And star are in every other way ordinary peo- pie) is not A militarist who can be easilyl stirred, as the Germans were, into a myst- ical blood lust. It is not yet nine years since that German blood lust last spent it-I self. It would be perilous, this early, tof reduce it in memory to no more than an' "anti-Communist movement." Nor does the American have the Ger-' man's herd instinct; in fact, his whole his- tory has fortified his belief in his own in- dividualism. Suggest to him that. his chil- dren must join the McCarthy Youth, his wife must spy on the women of her bridge club and he must put on a uniform and go and shoot (or be shot by) the wicked Cana- dians who are encircling his country by denying it living-space. and the result will be spectacularly violent-the suggester will be picking himself out of the gutter. A new Hitlerism could never muster more than :1 pathetic handful of followers in the Uni- ted States. The more free a man is, the slower he is to react to such imprisoning blights as McCarthyism. In his freedom he is little concerned with such things until they touch him personally. But when they do, he acts. When the blight ofgangsterisni began to touch enough individual Americans there was 8 sudden and violent reaction; something which had been accepted for years as regrettable but ineradicable was suddenly eradicated. The same thing hap- pened with the Ku Klux Klan. The same thing is happening now with racial segre- gation. No doubt it will happen, and soon, with McCarthyism's excesses. EDITORIAL NOTES Tomorrow, second Sunday in Lent. O O 0 It now appears that the custom of ask- ing a blessing on one who sneezes is more to the point than offering medication. At least a recent British study indicates that sneezes, running noses and so forth can be connected with emotional stress and worry. 0 O C There is nothing sensational about the C. N. R. Safety Car, as there is about a major train wreck, but the car which will be on demonstration in Charlottetown and Borden may well be the means of saving life and limbs without earning the re- wards associated with more dramatic acr- ions. O O I It seems that Parliament will adopt pro- visions for giving time to convicted persons in which to raise the money to pay their fine. Such A measure will go far towards putting the man with money in his pocket and the one without it on even terms be- fore the law. 0 O I The principle of the old time veranda .has received scientific approval. A profes- sor of Cornell's College of Agriculture has devised A "solatron" to simulate the posi- tion of the sun for any latitude, season and time of day. An architect can tell from A model how the direct rays of the summer sun can be cut off and the slanting rays of the winter permitted to enter. U O O A long-standing grievance has been remedied by the increase in salaries for senior teachers over and above the gen- eral increase. It may also be u measure of economy. The heavy turn-over in the teaching profession is in no small measure due to the relatively small prospects of ad- vancement after reasonably satisfactory starting rates. The cost of replacing teach- ers who ieave the profession probably far exceeds that of the new increase. 0 O O Representatives from Canada will visit Edinburgh this summer to attend the first International Congress of the World Fed- eration of Occupational Thcrapvsts from August 16-20, reports "This Week In Brit- ain". Formed in 1951, the Federationis aim is to promote international co-operation among occupational therapy Associations and to advance the practice and standards of occupational therapy between them and other allied professional groups. 0 O O Proposals for A Cabinet system of gov- ernment for Singapore, with the majority of portfolios held by elected members, were made in the report of the Rendel Com- mission which has been inquiring into the new constitution for the colony. Under the new constitution. most matters at present handled by the Colonial Secretary's Office would be dealt with directly by clected cah- inet ministers. O O I I Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole, New Zea- iand novelist, was born this date 1884. He wrote with much distinction on the Eng- lish cathedral city environment, notably in "The Cathedral." His first novel, "The Wooden Horse", appeared in 1909, And Walpole established himself in Chelsea as A writer. His experience in Russia during the First World War resulted in "The Duchess Of Wrexe".

Mind you I have no unit with the teachers And pupils. Our children are better educated to- dsy than they ever were but as the mother of three children At- tending cchool and two to follow. it. is the -books in which I have fault why are the books changed so often? Our children have three geographies, And on buying Scl- cnce books late in the fall, due to late printing. I find that these books are again being changed this fall Where is our Minister of Edu- cation? Perhaps if he were to buy books as the mothers do each fall And pay for them out. of A limited Allowance, then find next fall that he has to buy new ones where the hand-me-downs would do, he would do something about it. Does history change so quickly. or geography differ each year? Also why iii it across the Strait that books Are free-in fact. right on our own Island the children of service personnel get. theirs free. Perhaps A few of these things could be bought up now when there is talk of An election. Per- haps, too. we could have A wo- mm in the Legislature who would understand these things. because After all the women spend 90 per cent. of the money earned And therefore know where it is going This subject has never been brought up before to my knowledge but I think its time the women got. up in Arms about it. I know we get the family nllownncr but do not the other Provinces get it too. Therefore I say women get on your hlghhorse rind demand of your representative in the Leg- islature A reason for this changing of the hooks and the idea of free books for the Island. I Am.
