"There was more leisure time for MPs in the old days," the 69- year-o"d Mr, Hardy said in an interview. Nowadays, however, many of the members like to read mys- tery stories "because it relaxes them," he added. Mr. Hardv joined the library staff in 1919, and he has been chief librarian for the last 15 years. BIG GROWTH "Our staff numbered only 16 when I joined. Todav there are 68." said Mr. Hardy. He came to the library three years after the 1916 fire that de- stroyed the main Parliament huilding but did not touch the li- brary at the rear. The House of Commons set up shop in the Na- tional Museum about a mile away.

Before the 1952 fire the library boasted 500,000 book titles but after the fire its capacity was re- duced to 250.000. Another 250,000 titles are being stored for use in the new national library, yet to be built, NON-POLITICAL JOB Mr. Hardy prides himself on being "the first non-political an- nointment for the job of chief li- brarian since Confederation." There have been only three be- fore him. "When I entered the 1 Parli t the professi brarian was lightly regarded," he said. There was no such thing as a library science course in university.

By JOE DUPUIS Canadian Press Staff Writer CHURCH POINT, N.S. (CP)-- The perennial problem of sur- vival plagues St. Anne's College, an Acadian seat of learning in Nova Scotia. . The 70-year-old college needs more money and more students. This year's 200-student enrolment is about 20 below normal. College director Rev. Francois d'Entremont says the problem is paradoxical. "Students are "not coming to us in greater numbers because we lack residence ac- cemmodations. if we had more space we'd get more students." Getting attention is a plan to establish a junior school else where to provide a sort of farm ciub from which the college can draw future students, "But we'll information for their sp Paying tribute to the chief li- brarin at a dinner on the occas- ion of his retirement, Prime Min- ister Diefenbzker said Mr. Hardy had done much to raise the stand- ards of parliamentary discussion. Although there is no record of thefts from the library, Mr. Hard szid many of the books were re'urned in strane wavs. "I once reczived a group of 2 books from the post office after one of the borrowers droppe? them into a postal box unad vztion costing some $2,400,000.

The sea voyage takes four weeks. The only answer, say shipping experts, is to make the trip into) a monumental "holiday. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, big- gest Britain-Pacific carrier, plans to take a crack at it. Compzny officials point proudly 'Canberra' Wonder Ship will sit side by side.

LITTLE ROLL Four stabilizers will reduce rol! to three degrees. This is some of the standard have to d first," the direc- tor says. SYMBOL OF ACADJANISM St. Aone's is the symbol tc which 9000 Acadians on Western Nova Scotia's "French shore" look for prescrvation of their cul- ture and heritage. Surrounded by a non - French population the Clare Acadians, as they are called, have resisted Anglo-Saxon infiltration. "We feel isolated from the rest of the province," says Father d'Entremont, "but we are a def- inite stronghold of Acadiani and our influence is becoming more widespread." Not long ago most professional men on the French shore were linglish - speaking from nearby Yarmouth. Teday all are Aca- dians and graduates of St. Anne's. At adjacent Weymouth, origin- ally a thriving British settlement, there now is a French school and church. Several key businessmen are Acadians and the doctor and dentist are French. One of the Protestant schools is taught by French Roman Catholic nuns {brought two years ago from Problem College Moncton by Weymouth's English- speaking element. In many ways, the college has prospered. An $84.000 artificial ice rink was completed last year. Hundreds of dollars were spent this summer to renovate the kitchen and install a new cafe But by going ahead with this work, the college was unable to start building a new library for which it received a Canada Coun- |eil grant of $43,000. "We hope to get the library started next year," says Father d'Entremont. 15¢ RESIDENT STUDENTS At present the college has 150 resident students. Fifty day stu- dents commute daily in two col- lege - owned buses. To help de- fray expenses the college oper- ates a farm at nearby Comeau- ville from which it gets vege- tables. It also employs a man full-time to care for 15 Guernsey cows that supply the college with milk. One of the chief functions of the college, operated by the Eudist Fathers, is fostering bi- lingualism. A paragraph in one of iis circulars read-: "Through its bilignual courses St Anne's offers any Catholic s'udent an excellent opportunity to acquire a practical knowledge of the two oificial languages of Canada and thus to contribute tc better undersianding between the two great races of the Domin- ion." Student boarders pay $125 an- nual tuition, day students $.75. Tie ecwriculum is divided into four courses, all leading to a bachelor of arts degree. Situated in this southern Nova Scotia community or St. Mary's Bey, the college is noted for its strict discipline. For instance, {the students' mail is subject tc |iaspection.

MARY FRANCES HUTSON, Executrix By her Solicitor, JOSEPH P. MANGAN, Q.C., 14Y2 King Street Eost, OSHAWA, Ontario, TRAILERS VICTORIA (CP) -- A valuable collection of painted Indian pot- tery by the famous British Col- umbia artist Emi'y Carr came to light recently -- discovered dusty and forgotten in a summer lodge where the artist once worked. And with it came the disclosure that Klitsa Lodge at Sproat Lake on northern Vancouver Island once also housed an unknown col- lection of Carr paintings which experts say now could be of great value. But they have disappeared. Mrs, Ellen Morgan of Victoria mede the disclosure recently on her return from a holiday at Klitsa Ledge. She said. the lodge owners, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Cole, had a collection of Indian baskets which she purchased for $125. OFFERED BY HOSTESS As she was leaving the lodge, Mrs. Morgan related her hostess asked if she was interested in In- dian pottery and said: "I have some in a box here--take it." Mrs. Morgan soon discovered the "box of Indian pottery" Mrs. Cole thought was worthless was irdeed Carr work. Each piece, done in vivid reds, greens, browns, gold and blacks, bore the genuine Carr signature or motif, "Klee Wyck' meaning the "The Laughing One" which the Indians dubbed her. The collection included figur- ines, vases, pendauts and other items. The famous artist, who died in 1954 and whose work now hangs in galleries of North Amer- ica and Europe, is believed to have done them during visits to the ledge in the 1920s. Mrs. Morgan says the artist was a friend of the former own- ere of the lodge.

The Belgian government, with millions of tons of unsold coal stocked at pitheads and the world demand for coal falling, has de- cided to transform a dying min- ing region into an industrial centre. Its plans are centred on a once- great coal mining region, south of Mons, which hegan dying before the Second World War because its rich coal seams were being gradually worked out. Today, it is kept alive by im- ported Itallan miners. Bu! mines in the region no longer are pay- ing propositions. According to of- ficial estimates, some 17,500 miners there will become surplus by the middle of 1962 as uneco- nomic pits are closed down. YEAR-OLD PLAN The Belgian government's an- nounced aim is that none of the surplus miners should find them- selves unemployed and without the prospect of another job. Some will be absorbed by other pits, but the bulk will get help under! the scheme worked out for the reconversion of the area. The initial stages of the plan have been in operation since the end of last year with miners, as they become surplus, being either placed in other mines or found jobs. in other, existing industries. The main part of the plan, however, vrovides for creation of new industries to absorb surplus miners, This started last Seotem- ber with the official opening of a building materials factory at Mons employing some 60 work- ers, half of them former miners. Government plans already an- nounced envisage the creat'on of chemical and steel industries in the district, The vossibili'y of es- tablishing oil refineries and atomic power centres is being ceeded, anvone can succeed," said J. J. Freke-Hzayes, whom courage made a millionaire. "I don't understand healthy people who don't make the grade. You can do whatever you decide to--if you put your mind to it." The life of Frele-Hayes, founder of the $178,000,000-a-year telephone answering industry, bears vivid testimony to the truth of his creed. Jay, "now 59, is a man who -imply doesn't know how to quit.

"I don't know whether it was faith or ignorance. But I knew I was going to walk." Stubbornly ard alone Jay worked at his reluctant muscles until, almost by sheer willpower, studied.

Paraly- sis lingered in his left foot and made every step perilous, Fifteen to 20 times a day Jay would fall to the ground, pick himself up and move on to his next call. By 1953 Freke-Hayes had 30 telephone answering exchanges, 7,000 subscribers, 500 employees and w2s grossing more than |$3,000,000 a year. He sold out and moved to Babson Park, Fla., in- tending to retire and take life ersy. But again he found he simply cculdn't quit. He now has 10 more telephone answering exchanges and is read to launch out in # new field--organic farming. workers. To inject new financial aid into the depressed region, new credit- easing laws have resulted in a total of some 3,200,000,000 Belgian francs being made available by banks and credit institutions to help to exvand existing industries {and foster new enterprises.

Caterpillar Target Of New Poison DETROIT (CP) -- A Canadian research tezm was revealed Tuesday to have discovered a means of waging bacteriological warfare on the caterpillar, enemy of the farmer's orchard. The discovery was made pub- lic Tuesday at a joint meeting here of the Ontario, Canadian and American entomological so- cieties by Dr. T. A. Angus of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., head of the insect pathology research in- stitute of the Canadian depart- ment of agriculture. Dr. Angus said his research team has preduced a poisonous compound from bacteria that naralyzes the caterpillar larvae. The product will soon be avail able commercially. A major asset of the bacterial poison is that it attacks a speci- fic insect. Chemicals, such as DDT, tend to kill a wide variety of pests, some of which may not be harmful. Some insects have also become resistant to chemi- cal sprays.

The all-weather road connect- ing Whitehorse with Dawson City is crossed by the Stewart and Pelly rivers, and ice bridges at these points could be used by Nov. 5 this vear. But at the Car- macks crossing the Yukon River, with its headwaters in the milder temperatures of the coastal mountains, usually is not closed by ice until late December. Before the Yukon was bridged, the Carmacks crossing was de- layed until ice was at least six feet thick by flooding and freez- ing over a base of timbers laid across the stream. The new Car- macks bridge will get traffic to proceed as soon as the Stewart and Pelly ice crossings are safe for traffic. The shorter freeze - up period made it unnecessay to bring in foodstuffs by air, for stockpiling supplies and fuels. This in turn reduces the need for heated ware- house space and insurance re- quired by retail bu:inesses. A worrisome shortage of sup- plies that had occurred almost every year now is eliminated. In the May district, 150 miles southeast of here, United Keno Hill Mines will have little inter- ruption in shipment of their ore, hauled by truck 300 miles from the mine at Elsa for rail and boat shipment via Whitehorse. Stockpiling ore has been a costly consideration in their oper- ation. The same situation during spring breakup will be remedied Arctic Towns Bridge Meanwhile, construction has be- gun on approaches to the Stewart River bridge, 113 miles south of here, and the Pelly River bridge, 155 miles south. Actual construc- tion of the bridges is scheduled for early spring. With an all-weather road from the distribution centre of White- horse, freeze-up and breakup will become a thing of the past for these northern communities.
