Charlottetown has through the years been the scene of many not- able gatherings. Its history is marked with the stories of anniv- ersaries and celebrations commem- orating in traditional manner var- ious steps in ‘our national and municipal life. Within its bounds many notable persons. from with- out and from within our own Em- pire. have tendered. to our citizens their greetings-their messages of inspiration. of promise and of hope. In this Civic Builidng have been received delegelhions who during the years of our City's Incorpora- tion have visited us to honour an historical background or to com- memorate an important epoch.

Not many years ago we gathered on our public square in memory of our sons and daughters who side by side with tihe sons and daughters of France fought and diied for this Canada of ours. More recently we gathered to euiogize the birth of our great. Dominion, here, where sixty years before it was first con- oeived. 0n many other occasions have we gathered, and we have greeted many visitors from over- seas WlhO have honored us-

No precleoessorof mine in office could have had a more pleasant task than now falls to mo, nor could Charlottetown have lookec‘ forward more eargerly than she has for this day, when he have assem- bled to do honour to the memory of a. great man-Jacques Cartier, and. to welcome his illustrious fel- low-countrymen of the present

‘There is no Canadian child but knows of the exploits of that fam- ous Frenoh navigator wihc first discovered this fair land of ours— but on this the 400th anniversary of his first landing on the shores of "Abegweit" and then voyaging up the mighty St. Laurrence. it is indeed fitting that such. a tremend- ous event in the World's history should be recalled in this manner.

It is significant that here, where Jacques Cartier first set fcot on the New World. should be born that great. union of French and British peoples which has now be- come such an important factor in this Hemisphere. It is fitting that here should commence the festivit- ies that now bring back to us the importance of these earlier event: and that we should recall with re- Joiciing the discovery of the New World) by your countryman of l..i- perishable memory. r

The citizens of Charlottetown welcome you. and as well they welcome the opportunity of paylnl; their tribute to the memory oi Jacques Cartier. We hope that this occasion. will be a means. of bring- ing more closely together our peo- ples and will) be one further step in establishing that universal brother- hood which will eventually ensure among the nations, understanding and friendship and throughout tlll‘

world-peace. On behellf of the City of Char- lottetown. SAMUEL KENNEDY Mayor. GEO. P. NICHOLSON City Clerk.

HISTDRIBAI SKETCH 0F

P.E.|. FRENCH

At the Cartier celebration on Pri- day Mr. Justice A. E. Arsenault in his address gave an interesting sketch of history of the Acadian French ill Prince Edward Island. The address was delivered in French. The translation is as foi- lows:

If I have been chosen to address you on this memorable occasion it is no doubt, that His Honour the Lieutenant Governor and the Prime Minister wished to do bon- our to the Acadlans whose ances- tors were the firsi; of the white race to inhabit this Province.

In the short time at my disposal I will endeavor to give you a short synopsis of our history, past and present and of our hopes for the future,

History tells us that more than a century elapsed from the discovery of this Island by Jacques Cartier before Louis the fourteenth, King of France and of Navarre by Let- ters Patent in 1654, granted the Is- land of St. John to Nicholas Denys; but he did not establish here any pcmlnnent settlement.

It was not until the fall of Port Rolul in 1710 and. the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 that the Island of St. John having remained a French pcxssrcslon, a few Acadians left Acadia and established themselves hero. Having failed to obtain a title to their lands they left one after another and settled in Cape Breton.

In 1720 the Count Sb Pierre ob- tained from Louis the fifteenth a grunt of the Island. On the 15th of Anvil of tilnt year there sailed from Rocliopori, France, three small ships with 300 passengers and all tho necessary provisions for a settlement in a colony inhabited only by Indians. Four months later those ships entered Port la Joie (Charlottetown). Here they laid tlli‘ foundation for a small town, built a church and erected s cross on grounds set aside for a cemet- ery and so the first permanent set- ticmcn‘. in the Island was made.

I: was named Port La Joye and even today on the farm of Mr. J. 0. l-Iyndman may be seen- the remains of numtrous excavations, founda- tlOlls of the buildings then erected.

The first census of the Island of St. John was taken in 1728. and thcrc v/cre then fifty-seven families numbering 336 souls. From that (late till 1744 the colony prospered slowly but surely.

New parishes were organized at Point Prim, near where the trans- Atlantic liner Champlain came to anchor, at Mzllpeque, at St. Pierre- Dil-Nord, and on the East, North mid West rivers which empty in this harbour.

In tlic year 1755 occurred the de- portation in Acadia. During the previous years a_ large number of ACfldiZiilS had escaped from Acadia and settled bore, They had arrived without food and even without proper clothing. The Acadians of the Island of St. John had barely sufficient for their own needs but in their Christian charity they suc- ceeded in housing and settling these poor and destitute pepole.

In i758 and before the taking of Louisbourg by the British the popu- lation of this Island of St. John was about 5.000 and they occupied Lilo best lands of the Island. ‘They ihcn grow bountiful crops and had many cattle. The five organized parishes ivcre, St. John's, Port La Joye; St. Paul nt Pt. Prim; st. Louis on the East River (now Scotcn Fort); St. Pcter's,‘St-. Peter's Bay; and Holy Family, at Mal- pequc. Each of those parishes had its clergyman, its church and pres- bytcry; there were villages, culti- valcd fields and farmer's home- stands.
