Summers who pas8ed away Nov. 2, 1957, to republish the editorial tribute to Mr. Summers which appeared in The Statesman on March 29, 1956, which read as follows: A proud county is only that because of Its children of the soul. Ontario's "Banner County of Durham" bas been enriched with the imprint of nany, but throughout the years there bas emerged a figure wbose stature as a mnan has well earned him, "Durham County's Man of the years". Now in his 26tb consecutive year as Agricultural Representative for the County of Durham, E. A. Summers, B.S.A., has completed a quarter century of service that bas imbedded a quality on a local, national and international scope unexcel- led; paralleled by few. Greatness in a man is perhaps best Ineasured by bis ability to chart the cours- es of others . .. to success: a band unseen, unfeit; a voice strong, friendly, neyer in rebuke; an uncanny faculty for extorting the best and increasing the capacity for even better things. These are some of the attributes that make Ed. Sunyners "their" Agricultural Representative. For more than 25 years the list of prlze-winning teams, coacbed by Ed. Sum- mers, bas grown and grown, until now bis office walls are merely a back-drop to the 1hundreds of pictures, trophies - silent tribute to bis daily task. * What of these many pictures wbere are these faces today! Ed's Junior Farmers have taken lead- ership in many fields. But bis basic pur. pose for 25 years is well evidenced by the fact that nearly 75 per cent of bis pupils are now engaged ini productive farming for themselves, or, as berdsmen aud managers for many of the modern, co- operative system of farms tbrougbout the province. A few years ago, this figure was as bigh as 85 per cent. 0f the rest: there are those in the medical, dental and legal professions; the ministry, ac- countancy and management, in sales and trades, as well as producing tbree Agri- cultural Representatives. There are more in their chosen field and many others ini their first steps. Ail are richer In mind, clearer I thought, stronger of will because of a modest man who bolds to this day that the simple tbings in life are indeed the richest find for any man. Ed. Summers bas enricbed the County of Durham by bis perseverance over pre- judice anid skepticism against his kind in the early "thirties": perseverance that brought to the farmers new and more suc- cessful methods of farming and scientifie aids that to-day make farming a specializ- ed and bighly skilled operation. One unique mark of achievement epitomizes bis 25 years - for 26 consec- utive vears Duirham Countv teams, coach- ed by Ed. Summers, have taken first prize at the Quinte Seed Fair. f Socialism, it seems, is no respecter of persons nor of political party labels. Consider, for example, the recent announcement of Nova Scotia's Con- servative Premier Stanfîeld, marking the establishment of a Crown corporation known as Industrial Estates Ltd., wbose task it will be to "encourage promotion, expansion, diversification and develop- ment o! industrial activity in Nova Scotia." Encouraging the promotion, expan- sion, diversification and development of industrial activity in Nova Scotia is surely a laudable objective. What is puzzling to many people, bowever, is wby Premier Stanfields Government should bave chos- en to set up a government agency for the purpose - a government agency with wide lending powers and a grant of $50,00 £rom the taxpayers of the province. Premier Stanfield, it is true, bas been fortunate in bis ability to persuade a T1he independence of the judiciary la regamded by niost Canadians as the cornerstone of pamliamentary democracy. Together with the princîple of the Rule of La, wbicb assures the individual that his mi bts will not be tampered with by the gtate, judicial independence from political interferenoe constitutes thé main bulwark o! democracy and justice. It is, therefore, a strange anomaly that the decisions of the Board of Transport Commissioners, wbich acts in a judicial capacity in aIl matters affecting railway operation and freigbt rates, sbould be open to appeal to the Government. An appeal to the Government from the ruling of an ordinary court of law would be unthinkable. The effect of sucb an appeal would be to make the judiciary subservient to the political arm o! the State, witb ail that such a situation would iÏmply. In the case of the Board of Trans- port Commissioners, an appeal from any decision o! theirs affecting the railways .would be equally contrary to the principle Finance Minister Fleming's trade dele- gation to Washington has returned with the United States Government's "assur- ance" that its agricultural surplus disposai programme would, in the future, be pur- oued in such a manner as to avoid inter- fering with Canada's normal export mnarkets for wheat. Assurance was also gven Mr. Fleming in Washington that airer deals would not be resorted to by the United States when sales could be arranged on a cash basis. These resuits, on paper, look a good deal better than the vague indifference accorded in Washington in months gone by to the representations of former Trade Minister Howe. But the proof of the pudding, as the saying goes, will be in the eating. The truth is that as of August first last, Canada's wheat surplus totalled 43 bushels per capita, up nearly 25 per cent from last year. The U.S. wheat surplus on the same date was only 5.3 bushels per capita, down from 6.2 bushels p'er capita on hand a year ago. z4t (9=iti tttodemztt Establiuhod 1854 with which la incorporcted rue bowmnv±fl.

He is no doubt sincere, too, wben be says that apart from the normal relationship between a Crown-controlled company and the govennment, Industrial Estates Ltd. will be free of any govern- ment interference. Unfortunately, even with tbe best will in the xvorld on the part of ail concerned, things rarely work out that way. And no matter how bard those responsible for the affairs of Industrial Estates Ltd. work at their task, industnial development in Nova Scotia, in the final analysis, will depend upon trade policy and markets. Certain it is that Canadian trade policy under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade does more to encourage imports than it does to encourage the growth of home industry. o! judicial independence and the Rule of Law. Fortunately, appeals ta Government £rom rulings o! the Board of Transport Commissioners bave been comparatively rare. This is so because the Government, througb the years, bas come ta recognize that political interference in the rulings o! the Board, which 15 competent and with expert knowledge in the field, would be as unpalatable as would political inter- ference with any other judicial ruling. Prime Minister Diefenbaker's Govern- ment, it may be assumed with certainty, will not be disposed to ententain appeals from the rulings of the Board of Transport Commissioners. In fact, such appeals would do violence ta Mr. Diefenbaker's own deep persor1ai convictions regarding the inviolability of the judiciary and civil rights. The Diefenbaker Government, it is fair ta say, wouid be acting in the public interest by formally abolishing appeals from the rulings o! the Board. Reversing these figures will take a bit of doing. Washington's "ýassurances"J will bave to be matched by action. Mr. Fleming and bis cabinet colleagues know that Prairie f armers are in no mood to tolerate further impoverishment because of American raids on this country's export markets. "The Fourth Estate"" One of ten sees ref erences ta the press as "the fourth estate" but exactly wbat does it mean and what are the other three "9estates"? The Book of Knowledge explains that the name lias been given ta the press be.- cause of its prof ound influence upon public affairs. At one time in England and France the three estates were the lords spiritual, the lords temporal and the com- mons; that is ta say, the church, the nobility and the rank and file. It is not known who first applied the phrase "the fourth estate" ta the press but it seems to bave been in use for more than a century and may even go back to Edmund Burke in the l8tb century. In bis day, however, the press was only just coming into its own and it was not so influential as it became in later days. One reason for this was the beavy tax imposed upan newspapers by successive British parliaments, who wvere not anxious ta have their affairs discussed at large.

As choice lake frontages are rapidly being snapped up by private buyers, the public must more and more rely on panks set aside by the Ontario gov- ernment for picnicking, swini- rning, hiking and camping. The appointment of Paul Da- Ividson as district parks super- Ivisor is an indication that the Department o! Lands and For- ests intends to expand its acti- Vities in this field. Features of Parks The seven provincial parks in the Lindsay district are: 1. Pnesqu'ile Point Park. This Is probably the most developed, says distnict fonester D. R. Wil- son. The 900-acre pnoperty near Brighton was taken over lrom a parks commission. 2. Emily Park. A 50-acre site on Pigeon River, east of Ome- mee. The depantment bas plant- ed trees there and thene is some picnicking and camping. 3. Mark S. Burnham Park. One of the district's fînest woodlots. One hundred acres in size, it is suitable for picnick- ing, bas nature trails o! interestj to conservationists and has great scenic value. No swim- ming. 4. Serpent Mounds. A 70-acre propenty that bas as its main attraction the Indian buria] mounds. Excavating bas been c going on there for two years. The department cleared a beach on Rice Lake and swimming isi good. 5.

Judge Potential District fonester Wilson says It is true some panks in the dis- trict are getting more attenticn than others. The attention is based on the potential of the park. "ýTo provide recreational 'value a park must exhibit cer- tain basic attributes, which are water area for bathing and wooded area as shelter for pic- nicking and camping. Addition- ai desirable featunes are sand beach, boating, fishing. scenie topography, outstanding wild flower species, animal wild life, pnolific native bird populations, bird colonies, historical back- ground and accessibility, any of which makes the area progrès- sively more suitable for devel. opment."1 Mn. Wilson said some Park anea are "'natunaIss" and casi be used xvithout pneliminany devel- opment. Any delay in the phy- sical development prognam is caused by the preparation of a master plan. "Some areas have been chos- en because they demonstrate characteristics which make thern Potentially good parks although lacking in wood area-the one renewable basic feature whîch requires time' to neplenish," Mn. Wilson said. "In this instance the master plan, through necessity, pro. vides for adequate tree plant- ng, and usually veny little else for some time, since large trans- plant stock used to reduce the waiting period for such aneas requires considenable cane and protection.

As the occasion wiil be ne- ported eisewhene in this issue, it needs only passing reference. The memonial is simple, yet eye-catching, and reflects cre- dit on all who worked so bard to bring the pnaject ta fruitian. About thirty years ago <may- be more) subscriptions were solicited in the same district for a memorial ta the fallen beroes o! the First World War. Some people tbought it ouglit ta take the !orm of a nice set o! gates at the cemeteny, others angued that a dlock in the town hall would be mare ap- prapniate, and as is usual in such cases, the proponents o! one scheme wouldn't contri- bute ta the other. Apparently, the cemetery gates group won out, and it was my pnivilege ta be select- ed as one o! the guard a! hon- our at the unveiling. We were in kbaki uniform, and marcbed fnom the Orono Armounies ta the cemetery, where the cere- mony was performed, on a naw, damp, bleak day. Aftei the unveiling, we were treated ta a meal in the Orono Hotel. Among the two or thnee dozen veterans at the festive board, were two ladies, wiveso£ two of the vetenans, Le., Mrs. Jim Willis of Pontypool and Mrs. Cli!! Camey o! Orono. Mrs. Gamey was requested ta propose a toast, and although I've forgotten many details of the occasion, I can stili remem- ber ber words, which were apropos. During 1921, I was requested ta take part in a ceremony in Orono Cemetery. I think it was on decoration day, but the par- ticulan incident wbich cames ta wind xvas the unveiling o! a memoriai ta Leland Hooper, son o! the local shoemaker, who -had died of wounds received duning the battle o! Vimy Ridge. MY mather-in-law, my wife, aur six months old son and I drove ta Orono in a horse and buggy. The twelve overseas veterans picked for the firing party turned out in uniform, under thse command o! Lieutennt Bert Bounsali. But the "brains" behind the "Ceremonial A"p drill was a veteran named Ci!ff Gamex'. A!ten Cli!! bad drilled us ta bis satisfaction, I was assigried the chore o! handing each mani three rounds of blank ammun- ition, ta be fired at the unveil- ing. As we were not carrying ammunition pouches, it was1 decided ta have each man place the cartridges in bis rigbt hand tunic pocket. I made each man empty his pocket before I placed the three cartridges in, then I papped tbnee in my awn pocket, and away we went ta the cemeteny, where- everything went off smoothly, until it came ta fin. ing the last round. We neceived the order ta re- load, airn, and fire. During the reloading of that last round, I nearly fainted, when I realized that the cylindnical abject I bad just piaced in the rifle wasn't a cantridge, but tive years o! stern discipline and, training really paid off, insteadw. a! sPoi]ing the show, I calmly-*- covered the boit o! the gun with mnost o! my rigbt band, aimed, and pulled the triggen.
