Heavy Traffic In City Yesterday

An unprecedented influx of trail"- fic into the City yesterday gave City Police one of the busiest days they have experienced In a num- her of years. The traffic which heaviest between midmorning and four p.m. yesterday frequently reached proportions well in excess of Old Home Week. Chief of Police C.W. MacArthur said the situa- tion could be attributed to the in- clement weather which not only prevented farmers from conduct- ing their normal work. but also tourists from the usual beach par- ties and tours. All available police officers were out on traffic con- trol, the Chief being left at the station to assume the role of desk sergeant.

Mrs. Manning thanked the lad- ies in these words, "Ladies it Is beautiful. I am simply thrilled. Thank you very, very much."

Visif Here After 45-Year Absence

Returning to the Island after an absence of forty-five years, Walter N. B.

Sfiediac Plans Lobster Festival

SHEDIAC. N.B. (CF)-Lobster Newburg. lobster salad and lob- ster broiled are among the crus- tacean delights that help trans- form this qulet town of 2,100 into city proportions once a year.

With bigger and better plans for its annual mid-August festival. Shedlac again is getting ready to burst at the seams. It hopes to attract as many as 70,000 tourists this year.

A colorful town with a colorful background, Shediac has been dubbed the lobster capital of the world because of Its famed five- day frolic when lobster is king.

Acadlan by origin, the town to- day blends two languages and re- members a heritage both English and French. By-passed by the British in 18th century reprisals against the Acadians, the town accepted its first English settlers in the early 1900s.

Predominantly fishing and farm- ing folk, the inhabitants go quietly about daily chores but the festive mood begins to move in man weeks before the big lobster even .

There are lobsters to be trapped and pooled, float: to be made and lobster crests to be fashioned. The happy spirit of cooperation that dominates these preparations bursts into the open when the cele- brations dawn. And some of It ap- parently rubs off. The folks in Shediac say more and more tour- ists are returning each year to en- joy the lobster and the gaiety.

5...... Hospital Faced-With .- Heavy Financial Difficulties

.1110 fact that the hospital has been operating at a loss each year was the cause of great concern to the Board ollhnazcment of Souris Hospital at the annual

. meeting held last night.

In the financial report it was shown that the hospital last year

i operated at a loss of s7.as1 whoa

ordinary receipts were compared with expenditure. A government

' Stan! of 35.886 was responsible

for reducing this debt to about 32,000 but it was felt that some

I

other ways and means must be had to keep the institution oper- a without a deficit.

A ding to the existing difficult- Iel is the fact that the hospital is this year faced with an ex- traordinary expenditure of 87,500 for repairs to the heating and- cookfng unit.
