the others should be spared since they had had to obey his orders, and that he alone should die. Throughout his imprisonment he made every effort to comfort his men, and sustained their courage by his Christian example," says the cita- tion. The degree to which he had inspired them

King's County Memorial

The citizens of King's County are to be congratulated upon inaugurating a war mem- orial scheme in the shape of an enlarged and greatly improved hospital for the County. The King's County Hospital, already in existence in Montague, has been rendering excellent service to the community but its accommodation is in- adequate and development is necessary. lt is proposed to provide a $100,000 institution of three storeys, with accommodation for 45 pati- ents. Al excellent site on Main Street gives the hospital a prominence to attract attention, and it is proposed to have the Act of Incorporation amended to change the name to King's County Memorial Hospital. An opportunity will be

given to subscribers ta furnish complete rooms in

memory of their loved ones lost in the war; and in addition, an Honour Roll will be painted in a conspicuous place of all those King's County

boys who laid down their lives that Christianity

and civilization might survive. Though the cost

of the new Memorial Hospital will be in the vic- inity of $l00,000, only $20,000 is being called for at the present time, and it should not be dif-

ficult to raise that amount in such a prosperous

and industrious community and its vicinity.

Some Fishery Problems

The Federal Minister of Fisheries, Hon. H. F. G. Bridges, K.C., is in New Brunswick at

present, and it is hoped that he will find time

to visit Prince Edward lsland before returning to Ottawa. He can be assured of a warm wel- come from all connected with the fishery in-

dustry, and from the public generally.

lt is unfortunate that the Provincial Gov- ernment has not yet gotten around to imple- menting the major recommendation of its own Advisory Reconstruction Committee, namely, the appointing of a Provincial Department of Fish- eries. There is work for such a Department to

do, as is evident from the Committee's report.

First and foremost would be a detailed survey of

the requirements necessary for better fish pro- i duction in Prince Edward lsland. The main items of such a survey, in the Committee's opin- ion, would be:

l. The improvement of boat harbors to ac- commodate larger fishing boats, or the creation of new boat harbors adjacent to the best fish- ing grounds where no such harbors now exist.

2. The inspection of breakwaters and safe- guards for boat harbors with a view to repairs and improvements.

3. The erection of new plants for handling, storing and distributing fish. This would in- clude fish piers, salt fish storage, canneries and cold storage.

The proposed Provincial Department would also be expected to co-operate closely with the Federal Department in making a survey of our adjacent waters so as to have as accurate in- formation as possible on the habits, migration, location and extent of existing species of fish adjacent to our coasts.

Also recommended was a survey of the possibilities of setting up industries allied to the main fishing industry, such as the manu- facture of certain types of fishing gear, fish box shooks, and cans to take care of all local business; and the setting up of a small chem- ical plant which would produce fish meal and other products, as well as process Irish moss and kelp.

lt was strongly recommend ‘ that the Provincial Government "request the Federal Government‘ to provide the services of a first class engineer with experience in building boat harbors, to survey and report on the desirability rlzf constructing a boat harbor at Skinner's Pond,

. E. l.

Should the Minister visit here at this time, perhaps it will stimulate interest in this long- neglected report of the Advisory Reconstruc- tion Committee. it is too good o report to be shelved indefinitely, and it is rather unfortun- ate that it was shelved at all.

"lie Saved Others"

The posthumous award of the George Cross to Major (Temporary) Hugh Paul Seagrim, D. S. 0., M. B. 5., l9th Hyderabad Regiment (now Kumaon Regiment), lndian Army, "in recogni- tion of most conspicuous gallantry in carrying out hazardous work in a very brave manner," was published in the London Gazette recently.

The citation states that Major Seagrim was the leader of a party, including two Brit- ish and one Karen officers, which operated in the Karen hills, Burma, from February, i943, to February, i944. At the end of i943 ths Jap- anese started a widespread campaign of ar- rests and torture to discover ths whereabouts of the "party. ln February, i944, the two British of- ficers with Major Seagrim were located, am- buslisd, and liillod, but Major Seagrim and the Koren officer escaped. The enemy now had more information of Meier Saagrirn's activities and they radoublsd their efforts to find him. Cop- tunsd documents show that they arrested at

P. C. Seagrim, has been notified. Another of her sons, Lieutenant- Colonel Derek Anthony Seagrim, The Green How- ards, was awarded the Victoria Cross for gal- lantry in action in the Mareth Line in the North African campaign in March, i943. All five of her sons entered the Regular Army, and their combined service totals nearly 100 years. Mrs. Seagrim is the widow of the Rev. C. P. C. Seagrim, who was at one time roc- tor of a small village in Norfolk.
