Premier MacMlllan stated that the attitude of the government to- ward the association would be sym- pathetic, and that the government

common interests. He appreciated the necessity for good road signs and deplored the lack of public spirit, which led to acts of vandal- um. The province of Quebec also luflered in this way.

The Premier himself had person- ally seen to it that signs disturbed in road work were replaced.

The matter of education would be_ taken up. It was ‘regrettable that the City School Board had not tak- en up the matter as education was particularly necessary in the City. The Premier said that he did not

that accidents were not due to fast and careless driving. Drivers were prosecuted by the R. c. M. P. for breaches of the Highway Traffic Act, with the‘ result that eighty had lost their licenses, some for periods of two years. Applications were re- ceived daily for reissuance of licen- ses, but no licenses had been given back and. none would be until the two year term was un- NO Per-WI would receive any leniency, but all must take the consequences of their breaches of the law.

Ferry Estes

With respect to the car ferry rates for automobiles, the Premier stated that last year reductions had been received. The Government, however, was not satisfied. The railway 115d argued that it had lost money through the reduced rates, and had taken the stand tilat the reduction was not justifiable. The Premier quoted figures to show that. the dropping of! in tourist traffic in Prince Edward Island last yell‘ W" much less than that in other Pro- vinces. ‘rho Government was deter- mined to press for reduced rates. and if satisfaction could not be ob- talned in Montreal, an appeal would be made to the Board of Railway Commissioners. There was un- doubted evldence of the turning back tourists at Tormentirte on account of exhorbitant rates.

He was glad that the support of the press throughout the Maritime Provinces had been received.

The high price 6f gas would be referred to the govemmcnt, and. if necessary, to the Board of Public Utilities.

The objective of the league was promotion of public safety, the in- creasing of the comfort of the mo- coring public. by means of road signs If satisfied, tourists who came to this province were sure to come back.

Road Work

Hon. G. Shelton Sharp, Minister of Public Works, commended the League for its work in road 518118- As far as suppression of reckless driving was concerned, much cred- it was due to the RCMP. for re- duclng the n “ of accidents. The department was sometimes

l criticised for working on roads used

largely during the tourist season. He instanced work done during July on the Borden road. This was explained by the fact that there were only a limited number cl machines available for ditching. The old machines were gradually being replaced by dltchers used to build up the roads. The machines were working 100 days a your in order to get the desired work done. Attention was being given to the St. Peter's Rcsd- It was always en- deavoured to have the main roads

in good condition. Attention was to been

type was discussed. Samples of Is-i

Mr. Mutch expressed himself as being greatly pleased with the Premier's remarks. b“! did 11°‘ agree that an appeal should be made tmthe Board of Railway Commissioners which was not. con- cerned with and would not concern itself with the matter.

The ferry expenditure was not chargeable to the railway, and the railway should not have any say regarding rates. The matter was one for settlement between the Provincial and Federal Govern- ments. Mr. Mutch cited examples of financial hardship experienced by motorists who came to the province on the ferry.

The attitude of the railway to- ward the carrylng of cars was to exact a toll.

The President stated that what was said on the floor of the House indicated that the ferry rates would be the same as last year.

It. O. M. P. Commended

The President commended the work of the R. 0. M. P. in Prince Edward Island. He felt that police should be regarded as friends of the people. As a rule they were gentle- men and acted as such. He would like them to be received as friends of the people. He congratulated the Inspector on the work which the R. C. M. P. were doing.

Inspector Fripps thanked the President for his remarks. The it. C. M. P. had given much time to protecting road signs. He had made a special trip through the Province investigating the matter. There had nine damaged in Prince County, three in Queens, and four in Kings. Most of the signs had been destroyed by children. The men had been orderd to do their best t0 keep up the signs.

The President stated that consid- erable more sign work would be dons this year than last.

construction

Wo have always tried to lend co-operation to this department of the Government and I can say that our relations have always been most amicable.

Whilst on this subject I would like to say a few words concerning the tsxeg paid by motor car owners.

It has been laid down as a prin- ciple that should be followed that motor car owners should. not pay any more than about 50 per cent on the amount expended in road maintenance.

Without any intention of criticiz- ing the present or any former gov- emmcnt I msy say that during the past ten years the motor car own- ers fo this Province have paid practically the whole costs not only of road ‘ tenance. but the in-

construction.

Ws do not object to tho money we Ply ill being so expended but we are strongly of opinion that other cltlsens should psy their fair share of this expenditure as well-

In 108i for example there was received for registration and gaso- line tax ths sum of $284,057.88. If we deduct from this the sum of

The expenditure for the year in- cluding lnterest on Highway Bonds. Sinking Fund. interest on road machinery, maintenance of roads was $268,997.69 or the motorist of the province paid all of this ex- penditure except $15,424.40.

I quote these figures to show this?» the motor car owners are very much interested in the question of roads. The motor car owners besides have an investment in cars. trucks, etc, amounting to $7,000,000 or 88.- 000900, and yet ‘they are neither organized nor have they anybody to represent or speak for them.

Some years ago a body of public spirited Citizens among whom were Mr. Jack Webster, Gordon Hughes. Mr. l-I. Titus and others endeavour- ed to organize the motorist of this Province- They expended of their energy, of their time and money and managed to carry on with a gradually dwindling membership for a few years, but this motor league was gradually starved to death by the indifference of those for whom they were working.

After a few more years of inac- tivity the present league was or- ganized. It too has done splendid work, but it is disappointing to say that the great bulk of motor own- ers remain outside of the league and watch its work with indiffer- ence.

Just think for a moment the influence this league would oom- mand with a membership of ssy 5,000 members, and the amount of good it could accomplish. Why, for the sake of s couple of dollars. a man with a $1,000, $1.500 or $2,000 investment take; no interest in a body that is willing and ready to work for his good is more than an ordinary man can understand.

If we are to accomplish in a satisfactory manner the work for which we are organized, if we are to work out the problems that con- front motor owners in this Prov- ince we must be put ln s. position to speak for them.

We cannot speak for them unless they Join the league in greater numbers than heretofore.

Our drive for membership will be launched within a few days. We solicit suggestions from you as to how we can make this drive more successful and we ask your assist- ance and co-operatlon in this work.

The secretary will now give you a more detailed account of our work and the state of our finances.

DEATH OF

On April 2 Mr. Woodin suffered a hemorrhage and was hurried to the Manhattan eye and ear hospital here. He had been critically ill for at least 24 hours, unconscious five of them. until his death at 6:15 p. m. ILSII‘. tonight. The cause of death ‘was given as nephritis and uremia. following upon an infection of the throat and neck.

Mr. Woodin achieved success as

industrialist long before he was known in public life. Although lis- ted as a Republican, he contributed to the campaign of Alfred E. Smith in 1928 and did the some for Mr. Roosevelt in 1932. His serious mus- ical compositions as a hobby began when he was past B0. He started his industrial career as s. cleaner of castings in his family's enterprise, the American Car and Foundry Company. and rose to the top. To Woodin, President Roosevelt accorded a generous portion of the credit for guiding a paniclq nation through the banking crisis that was the first, problem of his administra- tion.

Crop Seasons Vary In Canada

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

MONTREAL, May Ii-Wlde var- iations in seasonal conditions and in the progress of agricultural op- erations in Canada are noted in the first 1934 cnop report of the Bank of Montreal, issued today. Spring is three weeks earlier than usual in British Columbia, as demonstrated by vegetation and well-advanced seeding. In the prairies, seeding is fairly general. In Ontario, however, farming operations are two weeks later than average and germina- tion generally is backward. In Que- bec Province ploughing has com- mended, but it will be two weeks before seeding becomes general. In the Maritime Provinces spring op- erations are only beginning. The prairies are making a fair start as regards moisture, this having been above normal in the three provinces although subsoil reserves are still lacking over large areas of south and west central Saskatchewan and in southwestern Manitoba. Present indications on the prairies point to a reduced wheat acreage and an increase in fodder crops. in 0n- tarlo cold weather has take-n a lair- ly heavy toll of fall wheat. necessit- ating much planting. Details in respect to the Maritime Provinces follow:

Pastures and meadows have win- tered well and there is sufficient moisture in the ground to provide a good seed bed. Fruit trees have suffered severely from winter-kill. Indications point to the acreage in potatoes being larger than last year.

Ill MEMORIAM

MRS. ANGUS BLACQUIERE

The whole countryside was shocked to learn of the almost sudden passing of a kind and lov- ing wife and mother, Mrs. Angus Blacquiere of North Rustico, when on the night of April twenty-first she was suddenly stricken with an illness which proved fatal. Al- though medical aid. was summoned immediately it. was of no avail and on the afternoon of April twenty- third the spirit took its homeward flight to the good God who gave it.

She was a woman of sterling character and always ready to give a helping hand to those in need. She will be sadly missed by every- one who kncw her. especially in her home where she was always known as Mother.
