CHABLOTTETOWN. THURSDAY, MAR. 12. 1953” Airport Deadlock There will be great disappointment with the attitude of the Federal Government with regard to the proposed runway,exten- sion for the Charlottetown Airport. After the approval of Transport Minister Chev- rier, subject to favourable reports by De- partmental engineers, followed by such favorable reports, the City is calmly told that approval of the extension is subject to thepcondition that the City take over the full responsibility of operating and main- taining thc airport. That condition is, of course, equivalent to outright refusal of the extension for our City Council is certainly not a body design- ed for airport operation. It is a -field re- quiring specialized knowledge and great re- sources both of money and experience. Vancouver, a far larger city than Char- lottetown, is finding that it cannot satisfac- torily administer such an airport and cer- tainly Charlottetown cannot be expected to undertake a responsibility comparable to the sum total of all other civic responsibili- ties. The Charlottetown airport is a vital part of the nation's communication, as well as those of the city and Province. This coun- try requires airfields capable of ' handling the regular and emergency landing of mod- cm aircraft and Char-iottetown is a central point for the whole of the Atlantic Prov- inces. It is, in addition, relatively free from fog and is usually open when other fields are ruled out by weather conditions. A re- consideration of the Government's attitude would seem to be very much in order, and it is to be hoped that the City Council will have the full support of the Provincial Gov- ernment and Legislature in .obtaining this r9..5Eit- A Reslllent Industry The dairy industry took a lot of hard knocks during the. past year but the meet- "185 yesterday of the Prince Edward Is- Island .Dairymen's Association indicates that dairymen 'know how to stand up to such blows and counter attack. By means of a vigorous promotional campaign the consumption of dairy products has been increased. At the same time dairymen are constantly seeking ways of making their industry more efficient. To a greatericxtent than ever farmers are growing their own feed and conserving it by such means as silos and well-planned barns. Costs are kept down, in the face of rising Prices. by careful breeding and by getting the greatest possible results from the expenditure of labour. The importance of the dairy warrants every possible effort to keep it solvent and highly developed. As pointed out by President R. Allison Profitt refer- ring to the increasing competition from various substitutes for high quality dairy products. "A city worker with a job, get- ting good wages, is in a-much better posi- tion to buy good dairy products than to buy the cheapest of these substitutes with- out it job." ' These substitutes may or may not be of equal food value to the traditional products made from milk but they have no right to masquerade as products which are known and favoured by the public and whose pur- ity is protected by stiff regulations and in- spection at every stage of production. Above all they contribute nothing to' the fertility of the soil on which the continued life, not to mention prosperity, of the na- tion depends. industry Spuds In' New Attire Two of the Island's basic farm industries may be concerned in the production of a new delicacy which is being tested at the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa. This : id cheese-coated potato chips, which accord- ing to a Government release have proved popular with a tasting panel to whom they were submitted. Powdered skimmilk cheese, dusted on the chips and heated about three minutes at 350 to 400 degrees F.,"proved the most satisfactory pripesslng method. Sldinmilk cheese adhered to the surface of -the chip whereas fatty-cheese did not. Chip! coated withliqtiidicheese were unat- and taste. The vaomuned, well with the potato chip and in the cue .born this date 1889. His when toasted. - Other methods have been developed ex-i perimentaiiy at Ottawa. to give the chips candy and chocolate coatings to further in- crease their popularity. Nine recipes gavc ' desirable coatings. These were white pow- dered sugar, caramel, molasses, molasses and peppermint, peanut taffy, spice, corn syrup candles, and nut brittle, maple and lemon candy glazes. It was found that tiiei coatings had to be applied at temperaturesl above 180 F., or transfer of moisture from the candy to the chip resulted in a soggy confection. The candies were applied by cooking the mixes in double boilers with oil as a heating medium. After being poured into greased trays to cool and harden, the candy: was ground to ii fine powder and mixed with non-salted, fried potato chips until the chips wereigiven a thorough coat-; ing. These can be used as powdered chips or further treated to give them a.glazed,i candied surface. Chocolate coated chips are made simply by dipping the unsalted chips in a semi-sweet baker's chocolate at 80 to 85 degrees F. These experiments are of interest as indicating the continued popularity of the potato chip, which is now rated among "the ten top snack foods." As early as 1950 factory sales of potato chipsand flakes, in Canada, totalled 3 U4 million dollars, while in the United States the cash value of chips produced in 1951 was almost 185 million dollars. More recent figures would prob- ably be still more impressive. The possibili- ties of the newer processing methods in- volved in cheese- and candy-coated chips might be worth looking into by our Island producers. EDITORIAL NOIES '1'hat good fences make good neigh- bours seems to be as true about fishermen as farmers. Giving the draggers and oth- er larger vessels a strict inshore limit would certainly help to maintain good rela- tions with inshore fishermen. O 0 O The move to revive interest in Arbor Day in the schools is an excellent way of stimulating interest in their community on the part of the youngsters. The placing of trees today, however, will require a good deal more consideration than when the pro- gramme was begun many years ago. 0 I 0 it is a criticism of some governments that they will go no further than they are forced by popular, insistence. On that basis there would certainly be no electoral reform here. It is to be hoped, however, that the Legislature will deal with the Election Act'on its merits despite popular apathy. O The wilful breakage of insulators on a power line has made it necessary to cut off power west of Bonshaw to effect repairs. It is one of the more obvious temptations for youngsters to throw stones at the glass in- sulators. For that very reason, parents should make a point of impressing its ser- iousness upon small children. O O I Philip Guedalla, English biographer, was "Supers and Supermen” was followed by lives of Palm- erston, Wellington and Gladstone, all high- ly individual contributions to the history of the nineteenth century. During the Sec- ond World War he published a penetrat- ing sketch of Mr. Winston Churchill and :1 study of British air strategy in the Middle East. 0 I O Underwriters are showing practical recognition of careful and accident-free drivers by cutting their premiums 20 per cent on public liability and property cover- age. For too long insurance has been a means by which careless drivers placed the burden of their damage on other shoulders. In future accident-prone motorists will have to pay for their lack of care in higher premiums. "Business-like efficiency, however neces- sary to the scientist in certain phases of his work, isn't the highest form of scien- tific activity", observes Dr. N. Tinbergen speaking in the BBC's Third Programme "about Dr. Konrad Lorenz and his recently published book on animal behaviour, "King Solomon's Ring." "New ideas, new lines of thought, come only when the brain is free to play about with the data it has at its dis- posal. The scientist must have leisure to 'tum things over' in his mind. To see him do so is not an impressive sight, it's true. It's scarcely distinguishable from sheer laziness. Ideas may even come. during sldep-and Konrad Lorenz is well aware of this. It's only by the final result that one can distinguish between the lazy man and the leisurely thinker". I've worked in close touch. with Lorenz during about fifteen years, and I thlnkithis is the most valuable thlng.I teamed from him. His example brought me back from an ant-like existence i rm: GUARDIAN.

Strange Rents And Dues Paid To Queen As her royal, Britaiiils young Queen Elizabeth 11 recently claim- ed from a fish market a 40-pound sturgeon. one of the tastier tidbits due if sovereignty which accepts a multitude of odd tributes. As the sturgean is a royal fish. reserved for the Queen, so is the swan a royal bird, says the Na- tional Geographlc Society. For centuries no one could own swans without royal permission. No one, that is, except the Wor- shlpful Company of Vintners and who told Edlward IV in the l5th century they would not lend him the money he sought unless he allowed them to own swans. Now every year there is R "Swan Up- ping”, or swan roundup. on the River Thames to see which birds are the sovereigns and which be- long to the Vintners and Dyers. Lesa savory royal animals are whales, porn 5 and dolphins that are washed ashore.

Wlldlife experts say it is only because no one ever brought them to Newfoundland either dc- libe-rately or by accident. There's no reason why they wouldn't. thrive here they say, and the Department of Mines and Resources is now making up its mind whether to import. them or not. There seems to be no danger of repeating the mistake of the Australian rabbit. since the squirrels increase would be limited to the extent. of the food supply. and since their natur- al enemies -' foxes. lynvx, hawks, owls-are not.' uncommon. They would serve three useful purposes: (1) omamentsl. They look well In parks and woocnands. (2) Commer- clal. You can sell their fur and they make delicious pies and stews. 13) Conservation.

I. i BEAB HUNT "Several depradatlonx having been lately committed by a bear, in the vicinity of Acorn's Mill, on Lot 49. a party not out in put-' suit of him on Tuesday last. He was tracked for some distance. nnd at last discovered in an open wood, which was immediately sur- rounded. The first of the party who came upon him was Mr. Philip Lane, who. although arm- ed with no other weapon than a stout stick. commenced the attack by striking him a violent blow on the head. Bruin, however, nothing daunted, immediately came to close quarters. a mode of com- bat which his adversary not alto- gether relllhlng, endeavored to make his escape, but unlucklly stumbled and tell. The bear in- stantly seized hold of one of his legs. which he severely injured before assistance arrived. Bruin in his turn then endeavoured to fly. but it was too late. His re- treat was cut off, and he was speedily denpatched. He was in excellent condition, and on cut- ting him up, a musket bullet was found lodged in his neck, which showed that this had not been his first encounter with the lord: of creation." -Royal Gazette, Oct. 9, 1832. yo-or-an-co-uni-oa;o;oor The Ago-Old Story m-vvoxc-co-m-co-m-loco-.

The answer. of course, is that they would have to find some other way of making a liv- ing. or go hungry. for there would be a world surplus of pot: and pans. The "ifs" themselves would provide plenty of tin-ware to go round without counting the "ands" at all. There can be few words in English language that am used more often. ' The oouplet came to my mind the other day when I heard one manxsay to another: "If I had some Job different from the one I have I would get. along better". It is true that some men are try- ing to do things for which they are not fitted either by skill or temperament. They are. as the saying goes. "square pegs in round holes". .n the main. however, it is not. the Job itself that is to blame when things go wrong but the sparse amount of energy and devotion that one puts into it. Contentment is more I inatter of the inner self than of any particular outward condition of life. "when we caifnot find con- tenunent. in ourselves," said La Rochetoucauld. "it in vain to seek it elsewhere. Happiness lies in the tutu and not in 't.hl.ngs". C It is easy to imagine that there is much glamour in work which other people are doing and very lit- tlo or none at. all in our own. That. sort of lmulnatlveneu is probably as old as the human race itself. and it has not been without it: compensations in the historic process of man's development. More often than not. however, it hin- den more than it helps. i Oenturles up Marcus Aurelius defined I. good man as one "who rejoices at the portion given him in the universal lot and abides therein content". Then he added: "If thou workest at that which is before thee. following right rea- son seriously. calmly. without al- lowing anything else to distract th": if thou holdest. to this, fear- ing nothing. but satisfied with thy present activity according to Nature. and with heroic truth in every word and sound which thou uttuect, thou wll; be happy." Bible readers will recall that st. Paul expressed something of the some thought: "I have learned. in whatever state of life I am. there- with to be content". . . . A great. many people imagine they could go great things if there were not so many annoying obs- tacles in the way, if the road to achievement did not have so many twists and turns. This is one of the more common "lie" and. it may be added, one of the very fool- ish ones. It. would take quite a bulky book to record the many in- stances where obstacles acted as incentives rather than as deterrents to success. I can mention he:-e only a. few of the more notable ones that come to mind.

Ooubtless, there are crew mem- bers in the ship of life who, if they had their Just reward. would be oaptalna, luat as them are up. talns who would be more useful in deck hands.
