Mr. W.F.A. Local Election Issues
The following address rincial election issues was given recently by Mr. W. F. A. Stewart. one of the Liberal candidates for the First District of Queens:
"As I have the honor in be nom- inated for the seventh consecutive time to contest this riding. and as the time before Election Day is too short for us to meet you all per- snnaliy, my colleague and I are takim: this opportunity of speaking to you and soliciting your support in the coming election.
"First Queen's is the lamest Electoral District in the Province with 20 polls and 360 miles of roads within its borders. We have been making slow but sure prozress in improving these roads and had expected another season in which to get some of the projects already started in various parts. linked up so that we would have at least some of our important centres con- nected by permanent highways.
"The early election date has at least given my colleague and me an opportunity to see the worst part: of our dirt roads at their worst, and that is pretty bad. But we must remember that it is still April. that not so many years ago. our roads were closed to motor traffic until the first of June.
Agricultural Expenditures

work, had been trained to it, and was able to relieve and assist the few officials I had. For the first time in its history Falconwond Farm was operated on a sound financial basis. The services of a competent agricultural veterinary pathologist were engaged and pul- lorum disease which had played isuch havoc with our poultry in- dustry was wiped out.
"We inaugurated a policy of as- sisiing farmers in insect seed and land weed control, and in conjunc- l tion with officials of the Dominion Dept. of Agriculture by bonuslng superior males of the various class- es of livestock. helped our farm- ers to bring their livestock up to jihe high standards they havei ,1-cached to ay.
Mr. Bell's Arguments
"some of you may have heard the radio address given over this station Monday evening. April 9th. by the Hon. R. R. Bell. leader of the Opposition. He seems to have recovered his tonguo and his imag- ination slnce his famous. much- talked-of radio speech of last fall. In one breath he tells of the sad financial straits of our people, 'our farmers. fishermen and labourers are in critical financial condition. our people are now sorely pressed

by the cost of living. which is at the world's highest peak'.
"In the next breath he laments the tremendous amount of income tax we pay. Do you realize, ladies and gentlemen, that in 1945 the people of Prince Edward Island paid only 5600.000 in Dominion in- come tax. But in 1949 the Liberal Government at Ottawa extracted 3-4 millions from our people'. Un- quote. Surely this would indicate something better than the 'crltical financial condition' he dcplores.
"Referring to education. Mr. Bell continued, 'our teachers' sal- aries arc to be increased: free school books supplied our pupils, and farmers and fishermen re- habllitated Assistance is to he handed out on a larger scale.
"'The practice of road grading a mile or so of road annually in each poll is to oc discontinued and projects are to be set up for whole 1oads'; and many other wonderful promises are given us.
Balanced Budget:
"Yet in spite of all these much- to-be-desired projects. there are to be no more annual deficits. Bud- gets on ordinary and capital in- come and expenditure arc to be balanced annually.
"Does all this, to you, indicate hard times?
"During the years 1944-47. after the passing of my colleague. the late D. N. Macxsy. this district was leprcsented by one Liberal and one Conservative. Mr. Walter Mcicenzic and myself. and never once during these four years did this gentleman co-operate with ma

A discontinued line 95:
for the good of the district he was EUPPDIM I0 represent. Never once did he wuespond with or visit the Department of Public Works. l
"Never once during those years when I was a member of the Social! Relief Committee, did he mention to me or any member of the relief committee one single case of any- one in this district who needed so- cial relief. He may have thought that times were so prosperous thetv there were no needy widows with families, no unlortunatcs, who through accident or sickness, need- ed a helping hand to tide them over a time of distress.
"He occupied his seat in the Legislature for a few days each session, cashed his g tonal in- demnity cheque and retired once more to his lair. It is therefore not surprising that the electors of First Queen's have not placed the welfare and promoting or their district in his hands since that day.
VoI.crs' Responsibility
"Democracy has its responsibili- ties as wall as its privileges. our greatest privilege as well as our greatcst esponslhility is to vote freely and intelligently as free citircna of a country made free and kept free by the brave. staunch men and women who fought and died for their cause. We can say in the words of St. Paul "we were born free".
'1-iiscory repeats itself, and we have seen how the peoples of Ger- many. Italy. Japan and now Rus- sia and her satellite countries, by not doing their own thinking, by not voting freely at elections. al- lowed despots and dictators to take charga. so that now. those people: have no freedom of thought, of speech or of sction.and are ground down like slaves. to I as: 10". IS fraa oltiaana of a free country, to turn out on election day and vote."

CHAPTIB XXXIV .
New orluns had not atoppad taking about tho singularity of
live in a shotgun house on Ker-' lercc street, when it began to chat-
ter about the extraordlnary pro-i spect of seeing and hearing Stella Fontalne in grand opera. The "Met" was slated for a three-day "season" late in April, and Stella. was scheduled to appear in Manon.
As she was singing at only one performance. on the second even-' ing of the season, there was ample time for all the scheduled entri- toinments. There was a dinner at the "big" Breckenridge house, at which Drew and Patty acted as host and hostels at one table, and Anna and Gail at another. All through dinner. Btella. wlio was sitting at Drew's right, found her gaze wandering to the other end of the table, where Patty sat en- ihroned in a high-back chair. Di-cw had done wonders for Patty. but Patty had also done wonders for him. was it not conceivable that she, herself, and Raoul might also have done wonders for each other, if they had gone forward together instead of taking separate roads? Raoul was not in Abbsvilla any more: he was in Washington. And he was not in love with her any more; he was in love with Cla- rlnda.
Patty was giving the signal to rise from the table. and her guests were clustering around her as she led the way into the drawing room. The other table. which had been laid in the library, had broken up a little sooner; Anna Breckenridge was already siting for her daugh- tsr-in-law to help her serve the coffee. Then Patty came over to Stella.
"We're all so delighted to have you with us. Stalls." the said. "that we wouldn't impose on you for the world. But if you feel you could sing for us. just once. you know it would bc a privilege to bar you. that we would treasure always."
"Of course I will. What do you want me to sing?"
"Well, we haven't hand you in La alohoru or Carmen. if vou would sing Musettn wait: or Mic- sola'a prayer --"
