More than three-fourths of the people of that Province still live in these coastal areas. Even if Newfound- land developed ‘agrlculturally these outporta would still have to be reached by host. Formerly, be- fore the building of the New- foundland railway. these‘ settle- ments were supplied by schooners which purchased their supplies llrltly in Prince Edward Island. andihls trade still exists. My Gov- ernment has made an effort to re- store this trade to Prince Edward Island by using a diesel powered lime! to supply outports on the south and southwest coasts with produce. Since July, 1949 about half a million dollars worth of pro- duce and goods were carried in this way.

“During the past year my Gov- ernment took part in the Federal. Provincial Conference called to consider the question of amending the British North America Act. Substantial agreement was reach- ed on the need for a provision en- abling Canada's constitution to be amended by Canada and her prov- inces. A Committee comprised of the Attorneys-General of all the Provinces and the Minister of Justice of Canada was appointed to prepare a draft of the new Con- stitutional Act. My Government has been alert. to see that the pro- posed change in Canada's Consti- tution will contain adequate safe- guards for the rights of this Prov- ince.

"The Government of Canada has announced that another Federal- Provinclal Conference will be cal- led in the Autumn of 1950 to dis- cuss financial nrrangemcnts- be- tween Canada and the Provinces. Preparations are already being made for this most important con- ference. '

“In agreement with most of the Provinces of Canada representa- tions were made to the Board of Ti‘ - r 1‘ ' 9 against the increases in freight rates ap- plied for by the Railways, g a result of these efforts the applica- tion of increased freight rates has been delayed. The Royal Com- mission on Transportation visited the Province in the month of July last year when strong representa- tions were made by my Govern- ment regsrding the inadequacies of and the deficiencies in our pre- sent transportation "services, and recommendations were submitted for the improvement of existing conditions. This Royal Commission is presently sitting at Ottawa where the case of Prince Edward Island for improved transportation fagllities is being vigorously pres- se .

I“'I'he Health services of the Prov- ince have been expanded greatly in recent years by the improve- ment of the facilities lit Falcon- wood and by the‘ building and equipping of a new institution at Beach Grove. In addition a sys- tem of Mothers’ Allowances has been introduced and Old Age Pensions have been increased, The policy of materially assisting hos- pitals towards meeting their main- tenance wt, was continued and an increased grant was made to the Provincial Sanatorium. In addition, In co-operation with the Federal Government, large grants were made to aid the construction of new hospitals and the extension of existing ones. My Government has continued to co-operate with the Government of Canada in a policy of providing facilities for the prevention as well no for the cure of diseases.

"It is my Government‘: desire to continue to develop a system of education through the iublic Schools, Prince of Wales College and the Vocational School which will have as its primary object; the training of all our youth to be useful and productive citizens, To this end the policy of assisting rural school districts to improve school facilities has been continued. In Prince of Wales College great. or emphasis has been placed on the training of teachers and al- most all districts with a sufficient number of pupils have their schools in operation. Others are served by correspondence instruc- tion or through transportation of pupils.

"The enlargement of the Voca- tional School has been completed and has provided class rooms for courses in Agriculture, Domestic Science, Machinery, Carpentry, Electricity, Plumbing and Brick- laying. ‘

"It is hoped that [I dormitory will soon be available for students obliged to live away from home.

"A Land Valuation Board has been appointed to assist those areas desirous of obtaining the services of the Board in securing an assessment of all property ac- cording to scientific and equitable principles. During the past year the Board completed nssessments of the districts immediately ud- jacent to the City of Charlotte- town.

"Consideration has been given to the problems confronting many of our villages which are not of a population sufficient to support full incorporation. Legislation will be proposed to allow a special type of incorporation for villages.

"The tourist industry continues

"My Government has been hamp- ered by a lack of office space. Some relief is being provided by a new Health Centre at Chg- lottetown which will house a con- siderable number of the Health and Welfare officials. When the new Federal Building is completed next year our promises in the former Y. M. C. A. building, now leased for Federal Government, of- fices, will be available.

“The ex‘ension of electricity to farms is proceeding at a much more satisfactory rate. The high power line from Charlottetown to the Summerslde area will be built in 1950 snd'a l0.m0 h.p, installa- tion of generations will provide enough extra power for five more years’ requirements. Through my Government‘: efforts, a power line now carries electricity to the west- ern‘psrt of the Province.

"The two ferries across the strait continue to operate with evehincreuing loads. The Borden- Tormentine docks. now almost completed, are apparently most satisfactory. The Wood Islands- Caribou service is inadequately served by boats which are too small and do not give service late in the evenings. It is hoped that a new. large, fast boat will soon be provided.

1. DON'T BE AFBAID By lies!!! J. Taylor

“I left the world for the first time in my life when, as 3 boy. I took a trip into the coal mines." Henry J. Taylor relates. "But my father calmed me and gave ins a formula. for conquering fear that has guided me all my life." Mr. Taylor, journalist, economist and author of many books including “Men in Motion", is highly popular as a radio commentator.

l-lurtling down a. mine shaft. with my father when I was I small boy. I discovered for the first time what God was like. This was one of the most vivid of my boyhood experiences. my first trip down into a coal mine. My father's mine was in the process of having an elevator or cage installed so we had to make the descent in a barrel.

Father got in the barrel first. .eached over and lifted me in. The cable swung the barrel out and over the center of the dark shaft, twisting us around and around as it dangled there. All I could see below was a blackness and a tiny light at the bottom. The engine- man throw a lever.

We started to drop. In an instant the white-blue oi the sky was gone. Father held me tight in his arms. My heart was beating like a trip hammer.

x had left the world for the first time in my life. The only reality was what my fingers could touch. All else had ceased to exist.

But my father was there. I felt him in the darkness. We were drop- ping very fast in the rush of air. As the case shot down in the dark- ness, banging, hard against the wet, black walls. I could hardly catch my breath.

A Bewlldered lioy

Don't be afraid, son," he said. The speed of the cage diminished. A pressure came in my cars. and I swallowed hard. A second later we come to a stop at’ the bottom of the mine. Father lifted me out of the barrel, I was as bewildered as a boy could be: I Just. stood there, clung to father's hand, and won- dered what could possibly happen next.

'i‘hs low. blsck roof, closely beam- ed with timbers, stretched into the darkness. Thin tongues of yellow flames, spuriing froth the diggers’ pit. lamps, marked men working in the distance. but didn't ~disclose them. It was as quiet as is mauso- leum. I could hear only the steady trickle of the mine seepage. water dropping on s loose rock. and fa- ther's breathing near me.

Then he lit a. kerosene torch. the flame blown forward by the down- coming current of air from the shaft behind us. He took a better grip on my hand in the dark and told me to follow him. Stooping low, the shale roof pressing down on us and the walls of coal pra- ing in on us in the darkness, is- ther led the way along the tunnel towards the yellow dots of light.

I could walk straight up. and this was much essler. As we got further into the mine. the air grew thick with the mist of fine coal dust. The mud was deep and very heavy. Two lights ahead appeared larger than the others, and from their jerky motion I knew the men were coming towards us before I could hear their feet thumping over the tics of the work truck. The little lights bobbed ‘closer, grow larger.

Banger of Ga:

Then below the lights I could see the body of a man stripped to the waist, is black coating of dust that was moist with gleaming streaks of sweat. The other light was on the head of an animal. lie was leading a mule.

"Lock out for gas." the miner said to father, not even seeing me behind him in the darkness. ‘There is a bit here up hiuh."
