Presbyterian Moderator Visits Summerside

The Rt. Rev. Norman D Ken- nedy, M. C., M. A., D. D. moder- ator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Can- ada was the guest speaker in the Summerside Presbyterian Churchl at the Sunday evening service. The minister, Rev. J. Donald Mac- Kay, presided and introduced the distinguished speaker. The music

ganist, Mrs. Cleve Whelan and they offertory anthem "Beside stilly

Night" and ”Gently Evening Blend- Choir under the direction of Mr.

Away" by Hall Johnston was ren- dered by Mr. L. W. Hancock.

Dr. Kennedy expressed on be- half of the Presbyterian Church in Canada sympathy to those bereav- ed by the receni air tragedy at the R. C. A. F. station, Summerside.

He said it is a symptom of the WDl'ld'8 present condition. He said that the Christian

Church in the Far East is the bul- wark of liberty and freedom and this is particularly true in Form- osa. The military situation is mist- rating, the political confusing. The church is the staple influence in the world of unrest. "so we may be very thanloful." he went on. "that in past years we have es- tablished our mlssions', 80 years ago in Formosa. We look to these missions to preserve our own free- dom."

He said that Canada has be- cm a great nation in the world through force of circumstances." "Canada's war dead," he contin- ued." is as far apart as Europe and Hong Kong and we owe it to our dead and to ourselves to be worthy of the trust imposed upon us. For that reason then. the quality of our faith is of supreme import- ance.”

speaking of "The Opportunity within The Land: he said that "its modern method oi transport- ation and modern machinery op- ens up a. new ere of prosperity which will be just as great and glorious as any pioneering of our forefathers. The church followed the early pioneers and the church must follow the later ones.",

In conclusion he said "This is the day of the church's opportunity which we may either accept or re- Ject"

Following the service s recept- ion wes held for Dr. Kennedy in the hell at which refreshments were served. l-lie Worship Mayor Wedge pre- sented the guest of honor with sterling silver paper knife with the crest of the town of Summerside inscribed as a souvenir of his visit.

After pass- ing above the end of the runway. the big Lancaster winged over and turned sharply around towards the station, going into I steep dive which ended in the crash Just out- side e guard fence separating the station proper from the station gseoune compound. The progress of the big plane was doubtleseiy checked by the guard fence which was ripped down on impact.

The plane crash, in addition to its proximity to the station gasoline compound. was handy to tank cars on the station railway siding. and these had to be quickly moved. The crash was also very close to some of the station buildings. being only a few hundred yards from the con-

ional Training facilities and roul- ine in Charlottetown and Sum- merside, and returned to Ottawa. on Saturday. This was the final lnsp:cIion in a Dominion-wide tour which commenced at van- couver several weeks ago.

Every gunner leaving the regi- ment for Canada gets a shiny new white-silk lanyard. a set of gilt- embroidered shoulder flashes. a regimental scarf and a miniature lapel button, diminutive replica of the Special Force crest, for wear with his ”civvies."

Broolts' theory is simple:

"It's the men on the gun who twiddle the dials who make the regiment good. They take the credit.

"Things like these bring home to them that they are horse artillery, which makes them different from everybody else. They are the elite. and must live up to it in their shooting. And they do."

Although the crash had lint been expected. the big plane had scarce- ly hit the ground when the alarm sounded. Great praise can be said for the speed and efficiency with which the fire trucks. rescue oper- ations, and hospital staff went into immediate operation.

Practically every one close to the crash area was immediately aware of a crash having taken place. The roar of the Lencstcrs' four big en- gines are a familiar sound to per- sonnel of the station. But this time a big thud followed by silence. in- stinctively told all that s crash had occurred.

Plane Destroyed

The only part of the aircraft that might now be said to resemble its original form is about twelve feet of the tail assembly.

The balance of the aircraft was unbelievably destroyed by the crash and the flames.
