den. The contracting firms the crew worked overtime to have her back as quickly as possible. Par- ticularly noticeable was the smart clean appearance of the dining and lunch room which now appears even brighter than last year.

A new ticket wicket has been placed to the left of the original one so that now two wickets will be available for the purchase of tickets. thus enabling passengers to have more time to enjoy the sail or to obtain a luncheon.

The ship was taken to Montreal and back by Senior Master John R. McGuire who reports a fine trip both going and returning.

Both the M. V. Abegweit and the -5.8. Prince Edward Island are in fine shape for the expected heavy summer traffic. Together they will make eight trips each way per day, including Sundays, A ferry will leave each side at 9.10 a. m., 10.35 a. m.. 1.00 p. m., 2.40 p. m.. 4.30 p. m., 7.30 p. m.. 9.00 p. m. and 10.30 p. m. The 10.30 p. m. trip from each side will be the last, crossing for the day as with both operating it will not be necessary to make any later trips for freight.

It is expected the new service will prove helpful to the Island's tourist and commercial business. Su-perintcndant C. T. Montgomery, L. J.. MacDonald. Division Freight and Passenger Agent. and 13.. Graham Rogers, Director of Trans- portation. were on the ship yester- day morning for the inaugural trip of the new service.

The new terminal rest rooms de- signed by and constructed under the su.-pervision of the Canadian National Railways at Borden and Cape Tormentine are now complet- ed and open to the public. These buildings of brick and cement con- struction are beautifully arranged inside. The waiting rcoms have nice sea green and white tiled floors. the walls being done in pastel shades. At, one end is a modern drinking fountain. The toilet rooms have tiled floors and walls with several large hand basins. liquid soaps. paper towels. etc. Each building is steam heated. An attendant is in charge to keep things clean and heat. It is also expected, now that the new schedules are in operation gthat mainy Island people will take this trip more often.
