Two Injured in Highway Accident

—A 1951 Chev truck driven by John R. Adams of Portage, left the highway just west of sum- msrside late yesterday afternoon and crashed into a rather deep ditch. '

Mr. Adams suffered minor fac- ial cuts. Mr. Austin Malone, of O'- Lesry. a passenger in the truck at the time. was still in hospital at Summerside last night where he was taken following the‘ ac- cident. His injuries are not thought to be serious.

The accident occurred about 500. yards west of the ice pond at the western approach to Summerside.l The front part of the truck crossed i the ditch before coming in contact with the bank. and the back part of the truck rested in the ditch. The truck was proceeding wut at the time of the accident. -8

"It would also mean a great water conservation project, coup- led with the fact that it would; provide a large fresh water basin’ which might be utilised to serve the needs of the City of Charlotte- town and surrounding districts. in the event of a necessary expan- sion of their water system to meet the needs of this very rapidly ex- panding community. ,

P. I. I. Leads

in his opening remarks Mr. Maoxinnon pointed out that Prince Edward Island leads all ten Provinces on a percentage basis with 41% of the construction of the great trans-continental pro-‘ loot paved and completed.

“in milss are unchr construc- tim of which seven miles has been graded and is now ready for pave- ment," he stated. "This means that approximately 60% of our Trans- Cansda Highway is either complet- ed or under construction."

The Minister outlined the t of paving maintenance done dur-' ing ths year. Therewers repairs to the Bouris Highway. Borden Road. Seven Mile Bay and Bede- que areas along with 5.3 miles of repair work to light pavement. 15.1 miles of prime and double chips :1 and 35.1 miles of single chip so . ' ,

"I would like to give you a re- sume of the work done under our highway oonsn'l_iction program for the past season". he stated.

‘The year 1053 has been remark- able in severtl ways. The volume of road so ‘pleted, the low unit cost of tha work. and the start- ins of several long awaited pro- iecis are fill noteworthy.

"iio mat of our citiaans, road- building ,-is the most interesting put of our work. and this year it reached .a total of 208 miles re- built. with a further 64 miles ditch- Cd and 06 miles widens and clear- ed for next year's o rations.

No Further Change At S'side Station

The following prus release was issued yesterday by Group Captain A. G. Kenyon, officer commanding the R.C.A.l". station at summe - side:

- “There have no changes or new developments in connection with

beyond those already announced. As previously announced. the Cent- ral Navigation School will ve from summerside to a Station in 'Western Canada. This is in accord with the general policy of having a large part of flying t.ra-thing car- ried on in western Canada. I-t will also satisfy the progressively dim- inishing requirement for training in navigation which is expected as the RCA!‘ and NATO countrla build up their navigational air- crew strength to the point where they will only need additional navigators and instructors to re- place those released, ' "In all probability. this move will be made to Winnipeg so that the school is with the other Navigation School already located there. “When accommodation is avail- able at Summer-side. 103 sen-ch and Rescue Unit will move to Sum- merside from RCAF Station Green- wood to join the Maritime Operat- ional Training Unit which n al-

‘ ready located there.

“At the present time, the Royal Canadian Navy has stationed at Summer-side a Fighter Squadron equipped with sea Fury aircraft and an Anti-Submarine squadron equipped with Avenger aircraft. The Anti-Submarine Squadron is now carrying on anti-submarine training at Bermuda and will re. turn to Summerside on the com- pletion of this training in May.

“The Sea Fury Squadron will be changed to permit commencement of Jet Maintenance Training for the ground crew personnel prior to reactivation of this Squadron with jet aircraft for the new carrier."

tinue our present rate of con. struction of this type of road. it mould Only be a few years till we will have served all our people, and relieve those in areas which. for years have been handicapped in the Spring and Fall shipping seasons by roads which will not permit trucks to get their produce to markets.”

Brldses

"The very great increase in the size of trucks over the last few years, and the loads they carry has created a very serious problem in-regudrto our brlchu. It" en- tailed the rdsuilding of many which. under conditions prevailing in the era in which they were built, would have left many years of service to them with but minor repairs. But to conform to pres- ent conditions, they had to be demolished and rebuilt-c total of 48 includi large culverts were either totally rebuilt or added to:

"Of these, 10 were steel multi- piate structures, as were built of creoeoted timber, two were a com- bination of reinforced concrete and creosoted timber and three were of reinforced concrete.

"Extensive use is made of the steel multi-plate arches because tiieyarssloweost-ta ‘ ,eaa- ily fabricated and require no maintenance. Creosotsd timber or reinforced ooncrets structures are used in salt water locations.

"Montague Bridge which is now nearing completion, is a new ap- proach to the bridge problem in the Province. ‘me bridge. which has an overall length of IN feet. with a roadway width of 34 feet and a five foot sidewalk. is a con- tinuous span reinforced concrete girder and slab structure with piers and sbutmenia supported on concreto piles. -

"This type of bridge. while be- ing a very economical structure having a low first cost, long life and low maintenance cost, is also a very pleasing structure in the aesthetic consideration.

“Because of the extensive rip- rapping program carried out in 1056, rock rip-rap was laid only on the new bridges which had their approaches widened. These bridges included Doyle's Brute. Kildars, I-laldi.mand's. Red Bridge Wllmot. and New Glasgow Mills Bridge.

Mrs. Dingwell held this position for two ya:-s and has done a wonderful work throughout the province and every Guider felt a. sense of loss when she resigned. Mrs, W.

0omnafsaionea"s' Report "

Following is the report of the provincial wuunissioner, Mrs. l-fut-l cheson_

“It is April again and once more we are the guests of Mrs. Prowse. to have reports presented and to stop and think what we. individ- ually, have done for Guiding in the past year. After hearing the pre- ceding reports you have no doub: what our Commissioners a.nd heads of committees have been doing; a. busy people, each one showing . job well done—s. successful Raisi. Day, three camps and one pacl; holiday (‘Filo climax of the year for Guides and Brownies), the‘ training sessions in June and again in ' y for and pack leaders. the ‘ ' for our Chief- Guide’s visit, the work of our field- secrets.ry—t.hue are but a few of the notable points of many hours of work.

"The visit of the World Chief Guide, Lady Baden-Powell, in Oct- ober was the year's outstanding event. During her visit she showed us what can be done in Guiding by enthusiasm. interest, work and perseverance. Lady Baden-Powell had an opportunity to meet most of the Guide family in our prov- lnoe. She was a guest of the Pro- vincisl Council of our auocistion at a dinner at the Charlottetown Hotel on the svaiing of her arrival. and the following evening of the Sn de local association. on bo these occasions her talks on World Guiding were an inspiration. with the Brownies and Guides she is at her very best. They adore her. and I haven't a doubt that each one of them resolved to be a better Brownie or Guide from that day forward. At the rally in Charlottetown the first evening and at the one in sun-imerside the fol- lowing evening most of the Guides grad Brownies on the Island met

Si. Nicholas Man found Dead Beside Railway Track

—'l‘he body of Emanuel I. Arsenault. 72, of St. Nicholas was found in a ditch alongside the railway track about 50 yards from St. Nicholas station about 8 am. yesterday morning by a section crew from Summerside on routine patrol.

Coroner Dr. W. E. Callaghan. who examined the body, said that death appeared to be from nat- ural . It is unlikely that an inquest will be held. There was no evidence of foul play, and the ma.n's wallet was in his pocket.

Mr. Arsenault had been in Sum-

“ on Tuesday and was seen getting off the train at St. Nich- olas about 7 p.m. that evening.

He was well known in the Sum- merside-Wellington area. and for many years had operated a store av. St. Nicholas.

He is survived by his wife and the following daughters and sons: Josie. Mrs. Carrol Delaney, Sum- merside; Edna. Mrs. Al Cosgrove, Ottawa; Anita, Mrs. Adrian Arsen- auit, Moncton.

symbol of equality—s.ll are equal. all are members of the Interna- tional Sisterhood of Guiding. Can anyone feel it is not her respon- sibility to help this movement for- word?

“We know Guide Mothers are busy people, so are Guide leaders. Let us stop and consider what our leaders are doing in the broad program or Guiding which they are endeavouring to teach our girls. ‘in all probability the Guider is a busi- ness girl. a. teacher or a housewife and mother. A business girl fin- ishes work at five o'clock, hurries to get her evening meal and into her uniform, a mother tries to feed her family a little ea.rly—t.o be at the meeting at six-thirty or seven. The meeting lasts one to one and a. half hours; the prep-

aration for the meeting takes’

longer. our Gulders are consci- entious people. they work at prep- aration, they put time and thought on how best to help the individual and they. as a rule. do not have enough assistants. May we enlist your help in seeing that the Guide company ‘with which you are most closely connected has more help, more leadership?

"To all the executive members. to the Commissioners and to my ever helpful deputy. Mrs. Suther- land, I give you my thanks for a year of happy associations and work well and cheerfully done. To the retiring members. we shall miss you, we thank you for your help
