APRIL 9. 1957 l'vk(':FI 4 The Late Senator Mclniyre The late Senator Illcllityre was one of thc stalwarts of the Liberal l'arty in this Province and was known to all our Cilil.0llS for the many activities in which he played a piomincnt part. A successful far- mer and lobster packer. he was iil'st elected to the Legislature in lfllil. llclcalcd in ltllll. he was re-clcctcli in the llolluwilig general election of 1927 and from then Lllllli his appoint- nicnt to the Senate in lEl.l-3 was re- turncd at every contest with sub- stantial majorities. An able sa"llk0F. both on the lillstings alid in the House, he is best rcmcmbcrcd for the vigorous role he played as Min- ister of Public Works and llighways under the Saunders and Campbell aflnlilllt-lliltllltlllS. lie was responsible for launching the first extensive paved highway programme in the Province. and for the provision of the road machinery required for this purpose. lie took part in many con- troversial debates. and could hold his own on any platform. He was never known to use a manuscript, and was rarely at a loss for an ef- fective reply on any subject. Though a hard hitter in debate. be dealt fairly with his opponents and had many warm personal friends in both political camps. Senator Mclntyre was a man of gcnial personality, with a capacity for hard work which sometimes tax- ed his vigorous physique. Durisrz his regime as Public Works Minister he suffered a serious illness while the Legislature was in session, blit re- covered sufficiently to take his seat before the session adjourned. The ovation he received at that time from members on both sides bespoke the genuine affection in which he was held. Though hegwas known to be in ill health in recent weeks. the news of his death yesterday came as in shock to his many friends, with whom The Guardian joins in extend- ing sincere sympathy t.o his widow and family. Forgotten Men When the fighting was halted in Korea four years ago. ii Canadian unit was left behind and has been there ever since. performing a useful service but otherwise forgotten by the people of this country. Now. ac- cording to a news despatch from Ottawa. they are to be brought home "soon." Thcsc remaining soldiers. some thirty in number. formed a medical unit under command of the remnants of the Commonwealth Di- vision which played an historic part in the Korea fighting. It maintained a small hospital at the port of In- clion on the west coast. the site of scuborne landings made by the United States and South Koran troops in September. 1950. an offen- sive which drove the Communists out of South Korea. Sewing along with British. Australian and New Zealand troops. these Canadians, in their hospital. have taken care of the ailments and injuries of what is left of the Commonwealth Division. Although the hostilities in Korea were ended by a truce some four years ago. there has never been any attempt at a settlement of the dif- ferences between North and South Korea. There has been no peace Igreement, no real effort to bring about In underltmding for unifica- tion of the country. And so Com- monwealth troops still stand guard. Ind facilities primitive. But they now represent I degree of comfort com- pared with those of the war years. Tents have given way to quonset asked to lay on the table of the Britain announced last week that it will withdraw its remaining battalion in Korea and New Zeal-and ali- nounced immediately aftcr that it will withdraw its transport clement. Brighter Potato Future The result of the iicgolialioils on the potato tariff issue has been received with widespread szilisfzwlinrl by our potato producers. and there seems no doubt but that the iiulustrv will benefit materially in this Prov- ince. where the export of cortificli seed to the United States has plllyc-i such an important part in our :I3.Il'i- cultural economy. Today we c:II'l'?-' a review of the situation by llr W. R. Shaiv, who so ably rcprcscnl 'll our interests on the Canadian llur'l- cultural Council and who plzrml :1 leading part in the negotiations llovl the start. The Horticultural covn.cll spearheaded the drive for tmul l”- forni and kept the potato i-suc vi the forefront. as was inditullwl "hi l-lmance Minister Harris in l:l- rc- marks in Parliament a few 'll.i- ago. The success of tiicsc ell-rrls Is a nizuter of great satisfaction to all concerned. lllr. Shaw also refers in his inim- view to the plans made by thc llorll- .cultural Council for holding an all- tianadian Potato Conference n c xi August at the Ontario Agricullul;' College, Guelph. The confcrcncc w”l follow the pattern set by l'nll--ti States authorities during the pu-l few years, and will deal with all phases of the industry in fizuuulu. The results will be widely publiciscd and cannot fail to be of value to thc industry. This Province. doubtless. will be well represented at the con- ference. We have played the pioneer role in the production and market- ing of certified seed potatoes: our producers are still able to carry off top prizes against the kccncst com- petition. and we have every reason to look forward to continued suc- Cess under the improved tariff setup. EDITORIAL NOTES An immigration official in Van- couver says that some employers overwork their domestic servants. Yes. and some domestic servants have been known to overwork their employers. I O O A meteorologist says that the weather "is going to get warmer and warmer for the next Jifltl years." So now we can forget all about the hard winter and the cold drcary spring and say they arc incidental interludes in an overall cheerful prospect. O O O , For good or ill. reports from Montague indicate that the Garden of the Gulf Museum is intended as a permanent institution and not merely as ii collection of articles pending the establishment of a Pro- vincial Museum in Charlottetown. Already a glittering assortment of reminders of the past is on display. 0 O I On appeal, a man charged with an offence against the "Sabbath Law" in Brooklyn. N.Y.. was aquif- tcd. The alleged offence was that of painting his mother-in-law's home on Sunday. In their judgment the learned Justiccs did not say whether the appeal would have been upheld had the house belonged to some person other than a mother-in-law. I O 0 April 9. 1917. is a memorable date in the history of the First World War and in Canadian military annals. it marked the beginning of the battle of Vlmy Ridge. culminat- ing in the storming of this famous height which the Germans believed to be impregnable. Four Canadians gained the Victoria Cross in the fighting around Vimy. but ll heavy price was paid in casualties. The majestic Vimy Ridge memorial. un- veiled in 1936. commemorates 11.295 dead arid missing in this engagement. 0 O O in the course of a heated debate in the Commons.

Ic- cording to the Soviet journals. by swallnning lranquilizing pills by the bushel. thus escaping from "all the ulcers of American life" calls- cd by "lack of confidence in to- morrow. living in debt. fear of loa- ing I job and finding oneself on the street." The Soviet sneers seem to be more than a little tinged with envy and sour grapes. This may be be- or i faults of tranquilizing drugs - at least they appear to be. efficiently distributed under the capitalist system. COMING EFFECT Such efficient distribution in it- self must be envied by the Rus- sians. it would certainly have . a calming effect on Soviet shop- pcrs who know that if flashlights go on sale in one Russian city. the batteries to fit them Ire likely lo show up in stores hundreds of from the fact lliat the men in the Kremlin have bclalcdly discover- ed thal they have been overlook- ing a surefire way of preventing revolutions and of keeping their tottering empire together. if. as they claim, lranquilizing drugs can help the US. work- er to stop worrying about the next payment on his color TV. set. his 1957 car or his deep-frcczc. think of what a liberal dosage of the little pills could do for the llungarians. Poles. Szechs. East Germans. Latvlans. even for the Russian people themselves. Many of the latter have tried to attain the same results through vodka. Except in the case of Mr. Khrushchev. their efforts have been frowned upon by the sulfur ruler. Tranquiizlng drugs appear to be the answer to the l(rcmlin'I problems. Let nobody get excited if, the Soviet Union's next five-year plan calls for unlimited production of the little pills. lHumerous" Elvis Toronto Globe Ind MIII it probably was inevitable. with evening newspapers having upen- ed their columns to psychiatrists, sociologists. sports writers. doc- tors of music. ordinary reviewers. clergynicn. feature writers and housewives to give their views on Elvis Presley. that they should have run out of orthodox words for headline purposes. One of them. in any event. des- cribed Elvis Is being "humorous" and fantabulous”. A possible inter- prciallon could be that his perfor- mance ls capricious without being funny: or perhaps the spelling of the first adjective was merely In evasion of the word used by botan- ists. humifuse. to describe a pro cunihcnl plant that trails over the gound withoul pulling forth roots. Any of these terms more or less indicates. by analogy. a form of en- lcrtainmenl vaguely derived on one side from music -say the songs of medieval troubadours - and so the other side. from the art of the jongleurs. who travelled with troubadours and provided 'Vl- rir-ly.. by offering juggling and clowning Ilunts. Presley appears to represent an cvolutionury regress from the jou- gleur. fulfilling his function. but without his interest in either poetry or music and without lIiI skill Is a juggler or contorlonint.
