chants where the fishermen trade, have noted that business has been fairly good. Principally the money is being spent on groceries ond clothing in opinion of well in- formed merchants. At the rate of $2000.00 a week it means that $8000.00 per month of new money is available to fishermen, in the slack -season.‘ This is reaching the individual fishermen in amounts ranging from $20.00 to $30.00 a’ week each. A few may be drawing less than $20.00 a week.

The city of Charlottetown meantime, still continues to have less people drawing benefits than at the same date a year ago.

Latest figures compiled by the local office reveal nine hundred and sixty claimants at the pre- sent,time, as against one thous- and and fourteen one year ago; a reduction of fifty-four. On the other hand, taking the whole area of Kings and Queens counties into account, the record total of 4169 people are in receipt of benefits, as against 3134 a year ago. Most of the increase is accounted for by the 860 fishermen who for the first time have come under the protection of the Act.

Annually for the past number ..of years, there has been an in- crease in the number of claimants of from five to ten percent. It is believed this can be attributed to people becoming more familiar with the Unemployment Insur- ance Act, and consequently mak- ing sure that for any insurable employment they perform; that Unemployment Insurance con-

Rotaricins Hea Address On Tr

A travelogue that filled ex- pe tion in interest and [infor- mation was given by Earl Mac- Donald of Summerside _at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club held at the Char- lottetown Hotel yesterday. _

Introduced /by chairman Ed Martin, the speaker described how he, with his wife and five children sailed from Montreal on

their tour “Seeing Europe in a Station Wagon”, which only ter- minated when that unusual ex- perience had been theirs.

Mr. MacDonald described in de- tail the beauties of the English country-side as -they motored from London to Dover from where after a two-hour sail they arrived in'France.

VISITED LOURDES

The season was particularly opportune for an appreciation of the orchards and vinyards as they leisurely covered the coun- try to Paris. Three days were spent at the famous shrine at Lourdes before crossing the fron- tier into Spain. . The flowers in San Sebastian and Marid presented a panaroma of rare interest. It was noted that owing to the extreme heat stores were closed in the villages passed through, so much so that they ap- peared to be deserted. However around ten p.m. the people start- ed to put in an appearance and business was carried on until midnight. . Paved roads on mountain sides
