four seats in Prince Edward Isi- and. On an estimate based at the poll-level, the Progressive Con- servative Party is going to improve its position ‘in every single Pro- vince in Canada," the speaker con- eluded.

Hon. Dr. MaoMillan

Sharply criticizing Premier Jones. whom he charged wit-h “insulting" the teachers of th, Provlnce,-Dr. W.J.P. MacMilian deplored the financial position of Prince Ed- ward Island. “Bu-t there's lots of money to give to the new army of

\ high-salariedpfflclals," he declar- Ed

Paying tribute to Mr. Drew, the provincial leader felt. that his elec- tion wcs the only financial hope of the Province. “Provincial rights is the rock-ground of our Canad- ian Confederation and unless the Progressive Conservatives come into power there is nothing but bankruptcy for RE. Island". .

Dr. Maclviillan criticized Prime Minister St. Laurent for inking more of the Liberal party than the fate of the Commonwealth. The Prim, Minister of the first da/uah- ter of the Common/wealth should be at the meeting of the Prime Ministers in London instead Of in the west, he stated.

Referring to the budget, the speaker pointed out that of the 5,000,000 wag, earners in Canada only 2,600,000 earned enough to pay income tax. The reduction in incozne tax did not help those who needed help most. ltit 2 cents per loaf was added to their cost of living.

The Progressive Conservative Party believes in the dignity of the human being, in fair rewards for work done, provision for the helpless, efficient government and that freedom is indivtsible," declar- ed Angus McLean. “The Canadian people have had enough of over- riding government by those who believe they are predestined heirs to office-holding."

Stating that there were alter- natives to the present government. the speaker referred to the third party which is composed of theorists who “make the blanket longer by cutting off the top to saw on the bottom." I-le appealed to the people of all parties to choose the other alternative’ and to get be- hind the present drlve for mem- bership in the Progressive Con- servative Party. ' -

Declaring that the rapid changes in the local Liberal cabinet ls ev- idence of the instability of the regime, RR. Bell stated that the next election will be fought by the Liberals with "promises and a flood of money. We must see to it that they are not successful again." l-le forecast another min- ister or tmo resigning in the next few davs.

Mr. Bell spoke of the enthu- siasm of the Ottawa convention which elected Mr. Draw as leader of the party and exprmsed his be- lief in an early election and vic- tory. He noted that at. the last provincial elections. Ontario voted Progressive Conservative and that Quebec refused to vote Liberal. “They'll do it again in the Federal election." said Mr. Bell.

Appealing to the members of the party to attend poll meetings and begin to organlz, as soon as possible. Mr. Bell felt that Ches- ter MacLurs would increase his majority in Queen's. and noted that the reports from King's and Princ, are exceptionally good. Philip Mstbeson. MLA. refused to the “most dangerous attitude of th, Lib ral governments that seemed o think they had the God-given right to rule" and crit- icised the "irres, ‘ble speeches of th, Premier." He saw in the creation of the Crown Company, the death of liberal principles and the adoption Lh, policies of the 0.0.1". by the provincial Liberals With a witty speech, Mrs. Rita Sutherland invited the meeting to ooflfee and lunch.

Thrifty-wise shoppers were out iii-force to take advantage of the over-ring three day store-wide sale which continues today and tomor- row. An hour previous to the open- ing of the doom at 9.30 a crowd began to gather and by opening hundred shoppers were on hand. .

Nation-Wide l body "

Ivliss Jacqueline MacDonald, Prince Street, offered congratula- tions to the Board of Governors on the Brief and did not want it felt. that all were dissatisfied with it.

Miss Helen Gallant, Doircnhs Creek. felt that the rural teachers should be encouraged rather than discouraged by the Minister of Education. "We wcrk very hard- I'm never finished until ii o'clock and I teach grades 1 to 10," she said.

lvlr. Willard MacKay, Norboro, felt that the Minister of Educa- tion was not working for the peo- ple of P. E. Island. but for the Jones‘ Government. He criticized the policies of the department re- garding sunnrner schools. "Dr. Steele is getting approximately $3200. while Hon. Horace Wright was recently appointed as chair- man of the Workmenk Compensa- tion Board a-t 14.000. Has he any better qualifications for his job than Dr. Steele has for teaching? Many members of the staff of Prince of wales College are afraid to say what's going on because they nllgiht loss their jobs."

Mrs. {Vhnie Cameron, North River, wanted to know how they could attend summer school and. as the Premier had suggested, supplement their salaries working at tourist camps.

"Time To Awake”

"I don't see why there is not: more money for teachers, when there's so much for everything else." declared Mr. Weeks Murphy, principal of Keinsington High School. “I believe this is the time to awake. We have a chance now to do something to convince the people of Prince Edward Island that we mean business."

"Maybe we are not politically strong enough to matter. but we should show the people that we are not t-hc ‘scum’ that the Min- i-ster at least inslrruatcd.” said Leslie Stewart, Montague. “The purpose of the salary increase is to raise the standard of education throughout the Province. Pre- mier Jones seems to relish the idea that teaching is a ‘transient occupation. We should register our protest against this type of address."

Mr. Roy Mugford. Dirt-ill"! teacher of music spoke of the up- hil-l battle to keep up the lili- dent-teachers‘ prestige before the

Announces Opening Of

Campaign

BYDNEY. N. 3-. Avril 21 -(CP) -—Ge0rg~c Drew, national leader of the Progressive Conservative party, tonight anounced the opening of a nation-wide campaign for members

In s. speech prepared for deliv- ery on a. CBC dominion network broadcast, Mr. Drew. pausing here for a brief stop after a whirlwind Newfoundland tour, declared:

“My main purpose tonight is to announce the opening of a nation- wide campaign for members and supporters of the Progressive Con- servative party who will take a pos-' itive personal interest in those loc- al political activities which are necessary to elect members who will make good representatives of their own constituencies and assure strong, efficient and democratic government for Canada.”

I-le.hed visited the whole of Carr- ads from the outporis of New- foundland to the remote logging camps of British Columibia and had found "there is a Wldfi-Qpffifld feel- ing that it is time for s. change."

I-‘be said they had come to this con- clusion bocause they are convinced that the present government at Ot- tawa. had abandoned all the basic Liberal principles in which they were taught to believe.

“Many of the most active sup- porters of the Progressive Con- servative party," Mr. Drew con- tinued. "will be Liberals who be- lieve that the Progressive Con- servative VAi-ty in the coming elec- tion holds the spirit and the true principles of true Liberalism which based its political philosophy upon the freedom of the individual rath- er than the concentrated power of the stone."

Nobody better demonstrated the government fhinldng along central- ist lines than its continuance of sweeping emergency powers over agriculture, industry and foreign trade.

"No matter what arguments there may have been for giving government such dictatorial power by order-in-councli, under the dreadful necessity of war," 3M1‘. Drew continued, "there can be no excuse for extending those hidden and arbitrary powersln time of peace when instead of domestic emergency we have the. highest lev- el of production and income in our whole history."
