Swimming and Water Safety Week was the theme at Rotary yesterday when, following the rog- ular weekly luncheon at the Char- lottetown Hotel. three outstanding repesontativoii of the Red Crou Society spoke briefly but very much to the point on the subject.

Rev. Marvel Dunbar. chairman Swimming and Water Safety Div- ision, stressed two reasons for the great need of a liberal education in the practice of water safety first to prevent the all too fre quent recurrence of incidents among both children and adults which end in drowning and reach the public as "tragic news."

”l would like to waterproof children and adults in order that they may go to our beautiful beach- es and enjoy being entirely Cafg. free. in the matter of risk from drowning" the speaker said. "Such an atmosphere can only be attain. cd by a vigorous and sustained canipaign on the part of the Red Cross. supported by parents and

PEI Hospital

The fourth report meeting of the special gifts committee of the Prince Edward Island Hospital campaign was held yesterday aft- ernoon at the game room of the Armouries with Judge Harold L. Palmer presiding. S9.905 were re- ported. making a total to date. for

I this group. of 336,545.

In his summation of the results obtained by his committee, Judge Palmer stated, "Several of our

' leading citizens have grasped the

significance of this campaign to insure the maintenance of high standards of care for the sick and have given generously on a three to five year pledge basis plan."

He stressed "the necessity of pledging over at least a three year period rather than giving in a lump sum or immediate cash gift as it is obvious that the great amount of money needed to insure the going forward with the hos- pital construction program cannot t- financed by cash contributions no matter how generous.

"There have been a few isolated instances where certain companies and individuals have. understand- ably. been unable to commit them- selves beyond a one year contrib- ution. but. he pointed out that. since the Hospital has not had I campaign in ten years, a higher ratio of pledges will be essential to the success of the project and to insure that the Hospital will be able to provide the latest and best in physical facilities and modern apparatus for the care of our sick and injured."

"Everyone of us, I am sure." Judge Palmer said. ''Is both for- tunate and grateful about the high type of physicians. surgeons. nur- ses and technicians we have been

able loattract to or hold in the community to serve us when needed."

REVIEWS CAMPAIGN

The overall situation concerning the campaign was reviewed by the" general chairman. Iilayor J. David Stewart. He reported that 'lho total Contributions in the cam- pnign to date amount to 5154.515 and that this total is made up of

He further stated that ''To date, while solicitation has been going on for a few weeks, it has been confined to a limited number of companies and individuals under the advance gifts and special gifts classifications. Several leading merchants and industries in this category have still to be heard from. and there have been no con- trlbutions received yet from the oil companies, chain stores, banks and many other national firms whch make up a high ratio of

the business and industrial activ- ity of the community."

"The business and professional, and the more general phase of the Campaign. under the Chairman- ship of Brig. Reid, for the Char- lottetown area. will open next Mon- day. Jiine lath.

Satisfactory progress has been made in the area wide organization of the campaign. under the chair- manship of Mn. Robert C. Parent, involving 15 separate committee: who have undertaken, or will on- dertake, to solicit every farm fam- ily and local business in the wide area served by the Hospital, prin- cipally in Queens County. Nine of these committees are already ful- ly organized and we are confid- ent that, beginning next week. the campaign will be in full progress and the organization 100 per cent completed.

The campaign goal. 3250.000. is necessarily large. but has been found to be the minimum require- ment if the needed program of expansion and modernization es- timated to cost 5700.000. is to go forward.

As has been said before, there is no available resource for ob- taining the money apart from the voluntary contributions on a three year pledge plan of business and industry, groups and societies, and every Protestant family in the ser- vice area of the Hospital who have looked and will continue to look to the Prince Edward Island Hosp- ital for the care of their sick.

If every family and individual concerned could fully appreciate what this forward movement will mean to all of us in better service for our sick and thoughtfully de- cide to budget a fair amount of their income during the next three years. we can look forward. with great confidence to the final and complete success of this major community effort to Insure that we are not falling behind in our Ohllllations to our own familis and Everyone Who may urgently need hospital facilities.

Qualified objections came from the Canadian Manufacturer-s' Asso ciation and ominlon Steel and Coal Corporalon, the latter for both its steel and coal shipments from the Maritimeli.

Frank D. Smith of Halifax, coun- set for the four seaboard provinces and the Maritimes Transportation Commission, said he will bring in evidence against a percentage in- crease later.

He added any "horizontal" per- centage increase would be unjust- ified and inequitable to the Mur- tmes because of their position at the end of long hauls which multi- plid the dollar costs of percent- age rate increases as against the short-haul area of central Canada.

MR. R. S. SHEPPARD

Annual Visit

To Province

Mr. R. S. Sheppard of Aylmer. Ontario, president of the Canad- ian Restaurant Association and Mrs. Shepherd along with Mrs. Florence G. Montgomery, manag- ing director of the Can. Restaurant Association are visiting Prince Ed- ward Island.

They arrived In the Province on Sunday evening and will leave again today on the first part of a presidential tour which will take them across the Dominion during the next several months.

Mr. Sheppard stated in an inter- view yesterday evening that there are 1.500 members in the Associat- ion in the 23 organized branches throughout Canada. The principal objective of the Association is to improve standards and he feels that the restaurants across Canada have improved in the past few years due partly to the fact. that the Association has insisted upon very high sanitation and health standards.

Mr. Sheppard operates a coffee shop in Aylmer whose slogan is "Canada's Largest Small Restaur- ant, seating capacity 10.000, 44 at a time."

"I am very definitely interested in the small operators and in their problems." he stated. Size is no obstacle when it comes to gaining membership. We have restaurants with nine stools and others with 700 seats in the Association. How- ever we do insist on high stand- ards.”

Among the services provided by the Association are a bulletin ser- vice to members giving as many suggestions as possible; the show- ing of films; and the holding of monthly meetings.

Island restaurants in the Assoc- iation include: Johnny's Mayfair, Rf-.'I1flC7.W)llS. Old Spain. Wool- worih's and Mcnl's in Charlotte- town; The Bison In Montague and Chan's in Summerslde.
