He recalled that it was not without considerable sacrifice that the Scottish Catholics, both lay and clergy, had accumulated the present fund of $127.000, the annual interest on which pro- vived the scholarships.

ers in Prince Edward Island, Dr. MacMillan told the gathering: “Perhaps no quality character- izes the Scottish“race more than their love of education. Tey realize, as few other people, that knowledge is sesame that opens wide the magic door to a life of wider prospect with all the increased privileges and added sorrows that go with it. “Every family strives to give higher education to at least one son. The parents a other child-

POSSIBLE MOTIVE

The restoration to their people of the spirit of imagination, in- itiative and courageous agressive- ness, lack of which Rev. John C. MacMillan noted later, may have been the driving force behind the inauguration of the society, Dr. MacMillan said.

In his introductory remarks Father McCormac noted that the dinner was organized with a two- fold purpose: first, to pay tri- bute to the founders, and second- ly, to spark a greater interest in the movement by the younger generation.

Only one crew was able to work yesterday in the re-decking job on the Hillsboro Bridge be- cause of shortage of material.

Norman Stewart of County Construction, who is in charge | of the large scale repair job says | that more material arrived last evening and two crews are ex-

pected to be at work today.

Prairly good progress is re- ported for Tuesday but again a shortage of material was the big holdup. The creosoted lumber for the repair~ work comes from Truro, N.S.

Although some merchants see | the delays in the repair work as cutting into their Christmas trade, more disquietmg news comes from Highways Minister / Philip Matheson. | CARS ONLY?

He: said yesterday that it was | fhe general opinnon of engineers | lthat heavy traffic on the an-) cient bridge will have to be fur-| ther curtailed. He says there is| a possibility that traffic, after the bridge repairs have been made, may have to be limited to automobile traffic only and) this restriction may continue) in force for the rest>of the saad of the bridge.

At the present time weight re- strictions call for a 9,000 pound | limit, when the bridge is open| in the early morning and on ings.

Although no further | ; ation of the steel beams nd | girders has been discovered, ‘the | highways department. found it} necessary to carry out repairs | to the masonry piers supporting the old structure. One pier re-' | quired three yards of con- | lerete to plug holes which had | worn in it.

In regard to the inconvenience | | caused to the general public and | to the merchants, the highways minister expressed his regrets, but felt sure the merchants who | would like to see the bridge re-! pairs held-up until after Christ- mas would share the primary concern of the em. which is the safety of citizens. | | However not all merchants are | ames \fearful of loss of Christmas | ~ —-—-—-]—--—- - ee eK eK toe ee” ome ee a
