Sir.-With the world literally ont

the brink of starvation, is there any 'jttstllication for allowing thoiisandn of acres of fertile land to be uiitilled? Our roadways are in general sixty fleet wide. The road proper. or ve- -hicle track. ‘is about twenty feet. This leaves forty feet. say twelve yards. A mile of roadway would give more _than four acres of cultlvable land. 'Why not have this land made produc- tive? A footpath is all that is need- ed for pedestrians. Remove .scrubs *and runts: from the roads by niaklng 'each man responsible for his own rinl~ mais. The fences could then lic tak- en away. and each farm cul_tivatt=.<’l to

the wheel track. _ ` Again. what a relief this would lic to our overbtirtlenetl farmers! 'The cost undlabor of fencing its enormous. ll’ tho present ottt-of-date law relating _to domestic animals be not. abolished.

we syall soon be without ti stick of tlnib r. It will all he cut down to fence out scrubs and riints, Why should we have a law that allows one man to liiifringe upon the rights of tinotlier? Why not let. the aged man. the poor man. or the widow. cultlviite their land. ln peace, without being tormented to death by other people'_s animals? No wonder we have vacant farni-s.

Sir,-It was with considerable am-

usement that I read the letter ln your paper about Prince Edward not being the only "Island" that won't have the auto to run' ovef lt, and then to read' about_Nantiicket being the “lslaii<i'." ' Now. I want to say that lt to true that Nantucket is an island. taken from a geographical point of view, but 'not in the sense that is meant in the case of Prince Edward Island, or any other island that is taken and recog- nized an ti prolince, state, or nation. I would like to .ask "Safety First" if he or she would think of comparing Panmurd. George or indian Islands with the Cniintles of Prince Edward

_ -__

to which they belong? lt is just as ab.sttr<`_' to eoiiipare Naiitiieknt with' Prialce Edivnrd as it would be to coiil- pare the:-ie small itilaiids with the wutlties as ti wliole in wliich they are located.

The length of the island as given;

is coi'rc-st. also the popiilatloii. bitt ani to the one toivn and sevoizil villagesl _ would like to state that I believe this lr misleading to mont people on l’_E_l. who have read lt, us one is apt to think that these towns and villages were- something like the towns and vil- lagca on their own island. Now. l would like to any that of the fourteen' counties in lllassnclitisetts. Naiituoketl its so -iniportant(?l that it is the ‘onl~y` county whose town und villages are not mentioned in any tabiiliited list of population of towns anti villages of Massachusetts t`oilild iii dlrectoric-s.` eta., while. oven the small places of 162 and 152 population such as Gay Head and Goanold respectively in Dukes county. which hi right next to Nantucket and also an inland. are

mentioned. ’

Now, as to the Islniiderii objecting

to the auto running on Nantucket. I would like to inform “Safety First" that the majority oi' the- real island- eiti favor the auto. they knowing on-y too well that it would be a help to them ln gettilng their goods to mark- et, but the island is “iiummc~red" mostly by it middle class of people who with the help the-y leave in charge of their places for thc: winter object. It ‘is not the wealthy clans or the poor class, but these middle class who ll' the auto were allowed coiildt not malntal-n the Social Levol with the neighbors as they are now able to

that object.

lt' the Island was ~of any importance

to speak of the auto people of Maasa~ chusetta who are overwhelmingly in the majority could pairs a law through the legislative branches of the state- ond have the auto run any time they wanted to there. The reason this has not been done is as I have -said. it Is of no importance to speak of. and the auto would perhaps he used by only a ,few people. Now Prince Edward can` not be classed with thlii, as tho Island l is of importance and' one of the pro» vlnces of Canada, and not an isolated
