     Good news to all our citizens is contained, 
     
     in the announcement in today's issue of 
     
     twenty new scholarships and twenty ur-g 
     
     saries for third and fourth year students at 
     
     Prince of Wales College. As will be noted, 
     
     ten of the scholarships, five in each of the; 
     
     two final years, will have an annual valuel 
     
     of 25400 each. and ten an annual value of 
     
     3200 each. The bursaries are of 3100 CZICil,i 
     
     ten to each yeaiz.  
     
     In addition to these awards, which are' 
     
     made possible by Prince of Wales' share 
     
     of the university grants from the Federall 
     
    
   
   
    
     Government, made on recommendation oli- 
     
    
   
   
    
     the Massey Commission, Prince of Wales 
     
     students will be eligible, starting this Fali,i 
     
     for the grants and loans which for some 
     
     'years have been provided university stu-- 
     
     dents elsewhere by Dominion-Provincial- 
     
     agreement. Several universities have also 
     
     earmarked special scholarships to grad-I 
     
     uates of fourth year Prince of Wales who I 
     
     go into the third and fourth years of those, 
     
     institutions, and there are other general; 
     
     university scholarships for which Prince of 
     
     Wales graduates are eligible. 
     
    

    
     This practically means that any normal 
     
     student prepared to put in hard work dur- 
     
     ing his college term may look forward to 
     
     qualifying for assistance in some shape or 
     
     form in finishing his education. It opens 
     
     wide the door of opportunity in the field of 
     
     higher education, and its effect in years to 
     
     come will be of tremendous importance tot 
     
     this Province, as well as of benefit indivi- 
     
     dually to all those participating. 
     
    
   
   
    
     A Priority For Agriculture 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Canadian Federation of Agriculture 
     
     has put forward a request that needs only 
     
     to be stated in order to receive the endorse- 
     
     ment of all serious students of current af- 
     
     fairs, says Country Guide. The C. F. A. 
     
     requests the Federal Government to declare 
     
    
   
   
    
     may share in priority rating in distribu- 
     
     tion of scarce materials. 
     
    

    
     NATO rearmament, for instance, has 
     
     created an acute world-wide shortage of 
     
     steel. It is highly important that this be 
     
     not reflected in a serious shortage of farm 
     
     implements at a later date. The allied na- 
     
     tions, faced with heavy shipping losses in 
     
     the last war, discovered the strategic im- 
     
     portance of food surpluses at the other end 
     
     of the shortest ocean journey. In war or 
     
     peace the agricultural. productivityof this 
     
     continent is one of the bulwarks of the free 
     
     world.

     Considering that there will not be an-

     is not surprising that no less than fourteen

     Our farmers have complained on many

     based on 1939, at which time agriculture 
     
     lwas just recovering from a period of ex- 
     
     ,treme prostration, and it was palpably un- 
     
     : just to perpetuate relationships that exist- 
     
     ed at that time between agriculture and 
     
     the other sectors of the national economy.

     New Brunswick, like other provinces, 
     
     is to have its financial year end March 31 
     
     instead of December 31. Federal financing 
     
     has become so impoi;tant to the provinces 
     
     that it is almost impossible to carry on 
     
     satisfactorily using any but the Federal

     at its best in reproaching Mr. Churchill 
     
     for accepting free transportation on his 
     
     visit to Canada and the United States. The

     the policy of the St. Laurent Government

     over Canada. The start made here must

     Thomas Moore, Irish poet, satirist and

     ago today, may be regarded as the national 
     
     poet of Ireland. He was given the ap- 
     
     pointment of Admiralty registrhr at Ber- 
     
     muda, the work being "done by a deputy. 
     
     He earned i'.3000 from his poem "Lalla 
     
     Rookh" alone but twice that was required 
     
     to make good the default of his deputy. On 
     
     Byron's death Moore destroyed his friend's 
     
     "Memoirs" and wrote instead a biography 
     
     which ranks among his best works.

     important outlet, but apparently 
     
     this is not the case.

     In "The Abbi.-ss of Ischia" Lip- 
     
     pincows.-May, I377), McLeod rc- 
     
     countii the tale of ii nun. Teresina. 
     
     whose embclmed body he had scent 
     
     not for from in ghastly row of oth- 
     
     er grinning mummies standing up- 
     
     right around the walls of ii series 
     
     of convent cells. These cells had 
     
     been accidentally exposed lwo 
     
     years before. when. during R. vio- 
     
     lent storm, 5 single row of bricks 
     
     scaling up an ancient doorway had 
     
     fallen with a resounding criisli. 
     
     Teresina was the last sbbess who 
     
     died in the convent,-originally a 
     
     monastery erected during the Mid- 
     
     dle Ages. It ndjolned the Castle 
     
     of Ischia and was built on in huge 
     
     rock of basalt rising abruptly six 
     
     hundred feet out of the sea. The 
     
     convent stood on that. part of the 
     
     island nearest the miilnland and 
     
     not for from the lovely Bay of 
     
     Naples. I

     fallen in love with a raving artist, 
     
     Francesco. who every day came her 
     
     way to paint out-of-door pictures.
