There are over 600 electro-magnets in the mech- anism around the legs of which are wound a total of 36 miles of very fine copper wire. The mult- iple line cables leading from the detached console to the interior of tlie organ, if laid end on end. would total ll miles.

The Trinity memorial organ is actually four organs in one. each of which can be played separate- ly or all at one time. There is

the ”great organ," t h a "swell organ," the "choir organ" and the "pedal organ." The music

of practically any instrument can be simulated on the organ; in-- cluded among these are a tubar and chimes.

To install the new organ. which Is greater in depth than the for- mor one, architectural changes had to be effected in the choir loft and reinforcement in the, foundations made. This work was carried out by M. F. Schurman Ltd., iiho also executed the re-l decorating of the church lnteriorl which is done in light green with, buff trim.

Local Staff Promotions In Employment Office

As the result of a general re- classification of positions In the Nzitioiial Employment Offices througliout Canada, several mem- bers of the Charlottetown staff have been promoted. The posi- tions effected were upgraded to bring them more in line with the importance and responsibilities of the duties involved. At the same time the office was alloted a fixed quota of employees. Since the war. the quota has been re- duced by one-third. The reduc- tion has taken place gradually and was completed some time ago.

Those due for promotion through re-classification. are Mrs. Lily Corrlgan. Mr. C. A. Orford. Mr. W. B. Peters and Mr. E. C. Carroll.

Mrs. Corrigan has been em- ployed at the local office for twelve years. She entered gov- ernment service after some years' experience with a Char- lottetown insurance office. After two years with the National Em- ployment Service, she advanced to the position of an Employment and Claims officer. She now be-

soiig directed by Stewart Pierce rounded out a very enjoyable evening which was brought to a

close by the l)eIIedICI.Iun by Rev. Howard Christie. -

coiiies Supervisor of Claims and with full authority as an adju- decator. Mrs. Corrigan is pres- ently serving her second term as president of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion. She has been an active member of the auxiliary for some years and served in various offices before becoming president.

Mr. C. A. Orford is a veteran of the Normandy campaign in the last war and joined the staff of the Employmbnt Office shortly after his discharge. He was ivounded during the advance through France. The re-classifi- cation gives him the rank of an Employment and Claims Officer in the Claims Payment Section of the office. Mr. Orford still maintains his connec inn with the Reserve Army and is also a member of the Charlittetown Fire Department.

in the Legislature yesterday by Hon. Eugene Cullen. Minister of Industry and Natural Resources, who started his speech on the Draft Address shortly before the House adjourned for the weekend.

liir. Cullen gave a description of the work being carried on in the iron ore district north of Seven Islands, called Knob Lake. He said that the population of Seven Islands was about 10,000, "not large but when it is taken into consideration that everything that is consumed in this area has to be brought in from the outside it iepresents a considerable mar-I

et,"

The Minister told of a visit be made to Seven Islands last fall. From what he saw and learned. he felt that this market was well worth developing. He pointed out however that if some form of regular transportation could not be guaranteed, he did not believe that the population would be In- terested in trading with the Is- land. "We must be prepared to compete with centres which are nearer to Seven Islands than we are." He felt that shipment by rail via Rlmouski would be too costly to prove profitable.

It was the opinion of the Min- ister that no great increase in de- velopment could be expected in that area at the present time but if the railway were to be extended to the Hudson Bay. then Seven Isl i would become the "gate- way to the North" and the pos-

sibilltlfs would be very worth hile
