WEDNESDAY JULY 29 1938 Prehistoric Relics Couiparatively few relics of early Indian occupation have been found in this Province. Literature on the subject is scanty, the most important contribiition being an article on pre- historic shell heaps contributed in 1806 to the American Antiqiiarian by a visiting archaeolo- gist, the late Mr. J. VVALTER Fiztvxcs. There was no doubt in Mr. Fiaiviuss’ mind, however, that the Province was at one time the home of a consirlerahle aboriginal population. He exam- ined the remains of prehistoric camping places in the vicinity of Rustico, and gathered information from old residents of the existence of large shell heaps, many of which have since disappeared. A friend of the late Mr. FE\vKEs, Mr. I-IARL.-xx 1. SMITH, head of the archaeological department of the National Museum, Ottawa, is ii0\v visiting the Province on a holiday. \Vhile he has uizulc no personal investigation into the matter, Mr. S.\ii'i‘ir corroborates Mr. Fawkes‘ opinion that a systematic search in certain local- ities on the Island would result in the discovery of many prehistoric relics, as has been the case ' in the neighboring Provinces. Such work, how- ever, is laborious and expensive, and public funds for such purposes are not easily available. Careful record is kept at the National Museum of every discovery of archaeological in- terest. This includes the areas where “finds” in the way of stone implements or weapons have been made from tiiite to time. The authenticity of relics, when received at the Museum, is checked by experts and usually it is possible to designate roughly the.locality to which they be- long. from the known customs and habits of the lwarious tribes. In this Province, as in the ad- joining mainland provinces, the earliest known inhabitants were the Micmacs, a seemingly ex- tensive tribe of Algonquin stock, whose relics indicate certain marked differences compared with the culture existing among other Indian races. Finds of a unique nature, Mr. SMITH points out. are not necessarily the most valuable features of a I\luseum. If 9. Museum were es- tablishcd in this Province, for example, a wealth of material could be gathered from forest, gar- den, and sea-shore. Specimens of shells, of leaves, of rocks and other natural objects would afford an inexhaustible study. for the two previous years 180,700 cwt. and 179,700 cwt. Canada sends almost all the ham contributed from the Empire, her only rival being the Irish Free State, which exported in 1935 only 20,200 cwt. Outside the Empire the only exporter surpassing the Dominion is the United States. Although not a. great exporter when coin- pared with the dairy-farming countries of New Zealand, Australia and Denmark, Canada has increased her exports of butter considerbly. The report shows that she sent 63.000 cwt. in 1935. none in 1934, and only 33,000 cwt. in 1933. There are, however, declines in the amount of cheese sent, Canada shipping only 497,000 cwt.. as against 546,000 cwt. the previous year. Our export of cheese to the United Kingdom has shown a steady decline since the year 1932. when the amount was 757,000 cwt. Decreases are also seen in the trade in eggs and condensed milk. In the latter Canada leads the Empire, and is second only to the Nether- lands. The amount for 1935 was only 95.755 cwt. as compared with approximately 104.000 cwt. for the two previous years. One of the greatest increases is observed in the export of poultry, where there is a 35 per cent. gain, the figure for 1935 being 21,ooo cwt.. and that of 1934 only 16,000 cwt. In this pro- duct the Dominion is fourth largest exporter, being overtopped by the Irish Free State, Hun- gary and Jugoslavil. Editorial .

Next to divorced persons came those widowed and then single persons. The department said that single persons “lack the marital iiiter—relation- ships which ordinarily provide elements of bal- ance in the mental, physical, einotioual and social fields." The divorced in New York, the depart- ment declared, iti comparison with the married, have 3.5 times the chance of being admitted to a mental hospital. The Massachusetts ratio of 3.8 is even higher.

Indeed, the tonnage of freight, canted in can- ada is now greater than In any other country. While technical im- provements have made this econ- omically feasible, steadily increas- lng return loads have also contri- buted.

Aerial photo- graphs may be used not only for map-making, but for details of rock structure. forest growth and power resources, while examination of oblique photographs by stereo. scope shows elevations in great detail.

This was not the starting of rural electrlflcutlon for previous to that date several sections of the Province enjoyed the benefits of electricity and the Legislature pro- vided that the Maritime Electric Company must. not compete in these pre-occupied areas. It. would be interesting to know to what. extent the Maritime Elect- rlc Company took advantage of the privilege which it thus obtained. Nine years have now passed and very little has been done by the Company in pmvldlng rural elec- trification. D/ldently the Company simply wanted the privilege or fran- chlrse to keep other persons and cor- poratlons out or else the Company merely wanted it. as an additional asset to add to the value of its hold- ings here and to help it In the nialntenance of rates higher than are justlfled. In the rural sections the Company are merely skimming the cream of the buslnwa. They should not, be allowed to do this and the time has arrived to demand that their fran- chise over the whole Province should be forfeited, A voked and made void. It. must. be remembered that electric production and fstrlbutton 15 a pub- lic utlllty and cannot be allowed to remain dormant in a foreign owned corporation.

No one mentioned any kind of skilled trade, and though 8. great many of the students came from small towns and farming communities, only one boy sald he hoped to take up agriculture. He was 3. clt.y boy, the son of I surgeon. The number needed in the pro- fessions bear no relation to the numbe tralned at publlo expense for such positions. At the same time, a shortage of skilled labor is reported both in Canada. and the milled states, especially in the construction industries and auto- motive trades. Miss Parsons states that one of the science depart- ments at A Canadian university has to call In a hlghly—skllled Ger- man to make the delicate adjust- ments on its very fine instruments.
