-BALLOT MISTAKE NOTED

sir,-May I be permitted to point out a discrepancy to the voting public, in the printing of the Provincial Election ballot and also the Election rs larnatiun.

-when nominated to contest this Election Is I candidate for the C. c. 11'. party. my name and oo- .-npailon were duly given, and sworn to before the county sheriff. as Alexander MacLean. c. N. 3,. Express Motorman. .

This sworn statement was changed when the ballots were printed. and the proclamation is. sued. and my occupation is shown as Truokman.

In order that my identity may not be confused with that of someone else of the same name -.i:ay I point out that the informat- icii on the ballot and proclamation -iiould agree with that given on my: affadavlt.

Space in your newspaper to bit: 2 this to the attention of the public will be very much Ip- prcrlaied.

ROADS AND POLICIES

sir,-In a couple of your issues of the pastweek. I notice the Lib- oinl Party has gone to the trouble to send to the Province nhontarlo to procure. pictures of the Tory roads of that Province. ind have them reproduced in mur valuable publication as elec- tioii propaganda to try and mis- iomi our people. Apparently they have travelled quite I distance to not these pictures. All they would have to do is to come to west Prince, and if I photo- urspher could approach near en- ough to some of the spots which are quite' nunfcrous. without get- i.n;; hoggcd and losing his cum- rr.n. they could procure enough rliilcrent pictures to" fill ll full issue of your paper. especially be- tween St. Louis and Palmer liond. also St. Louis and Ebbs- fir-oi. where people walking have in lrzive the road and take to the ilclds to reach their destinations.

Ask the residents of Ebbsflect why they cannot move their fish- ing supplies from St. Louis, but have to store them in St. Louis.

The last few days quite a flurry --f activity is taking place with trucks hauling clay and main- inincrs trying to dosomething to show-they mean business on the eve of an election. as was the case. in all previous elections. -This flurry of activity would certainly not be taking place if an election was not coming in a few days. Where is the paved road from Elmsdaie to Tignisli and St. Louis promised before the

last election? Also our electric power? Now we are given another

promise. if the present party is returned to power we are to re- ceive two paved roads to Tig- nish. the completion of the one from Montrose to Tlgnish and

another to follow the main high-

MAYOR! is THE LEGISLATURE

Sir. - May I take time out to answer I letter signed "Fair Play" appearing in The Guardian issue of April 28rd.

Summerside is indeed fortunate in having as its chief magistrate. Mr. Henry Wsdn. It is indeed for- tunatn also, in that its Act of In- corporation allows for its Mayor or Councillors to be members of the Legislative Assembly of the Prov-

ce.

Anyone with common ordinary some can rcldily Ice that this is I great advantage to any municipal- ity, especially when there is no Minister of Municipal Affairs port- folio in the Provincial setup, as in other Provincial governments. Bec- ondly, if the Mayor or I councillor is selected as I candidate for tho ture and is elected. than the City is not forced to conduct. I civic election. Why should Char- lottetown not have the same priv- ileges as Summerside in this re- (ltd! s

I do not believe Mayor MacDon- ald Iskad for the letillltlon '0 be c . would it was I reqiieet from the Council, which is I non-political body Who. knowiiiii lummeraide was in this preferred position. wanted the some for Char- lottetown.

Mr. Keith; Boswell On P. E. I. Election Issues

The following Iddres on Pro- vincial elcctlon issues was given recently by Mr. Keith Boswell. one of the Progressive Conserva- tive candidates for the Fourth District of Prince.

"Electors of Prince Edward Is- land, It I convention held in Be- deque Mr. Ernest Strong. K.C., and myself were nominated to contest the Fourth District of Prince.

"I must admit that it'takes courage to consider running an election under such. adverse cir- cumstances. No time to place I. lair picture of conditions before the electorate. no roads on which to travel and little opportunity to meet the people to encourage them to place their confidence in us as their future representatives.

"We ask then. ladies and gen- tlemen. why these unfavorable conditions? And the answer is,- because of the mismanagement and lack of foresight of the pre- sent admlniistraiiion. no considera- tion for the ordinary man and fear that he will learn the true condition of affairs under their long term of wastefulness. Little wonder that they are asking where is the prosperity that the Liberals promised to us as farm- ers? I come to you in all humil- ity as a farmer. I do not pretend

to be smarter than anyone else;

but I do pretend to know that we are working much too hard and for too little.

"No security for merits. no guarantee that what we raise we can sell. and no in- timation of what we will get for it. in fact no freedom from fear; or encouragement that the future will be safe for us. We do not want political hand-outs. last min- ute bargains. we are williru. and prefer to work for what we get: but we must be reasonably paid for our work-and it is hard work.

"We did not complain during the war when our butter and eggs sold below cost of production. We were patroltic. but why in the last years we were still selling below cost of production? Because the government at Ottawa has seen fit. to set our floor prices much too low. And here we come to this matter of the Federal Government ruling our roast-so to speak. What have we in the Maritimes got from iottawa anyway? They keep telling us keep in line. I re- member my uncle, the late Prem- ier Lea. using. as his favorite ex- presslon "the wheel that squeaks the loudest gets the most grease.”

"ft is time we in the Maritlmes and on Prince Edward Island, did some squeaking and as long as we keep electing Liberal governments in line with Ottawa. we will con-

Large Audience Enjoys Yis Menis Annual Show

Once in a long while a stage show hits the boards in one of the local theatres and sets an entire audience rocking with mirth and hoping the show would never end.

This was certainly the case last evening when the fourth annual Y's Men's show played before I capacity aildiciite at the Prince Edward Theatre. Packed full of humorous inriovatioiia. "Come To The Fair" is undoubtedly the best show of its kind to be seen locally in I long time. and the enterpris- i.ng Y's Men should be commend- ed very highly on producing ex- cellent entertainment. of this type with local talent.

Directed by Mr. Jock Lawson. the fast moving show centres ar- ound I rural district, with the first part of the program played before the red barn. and the sec- ond half on the midway of a visit- in; fair. Syd Jeffery. ”Jasper". contributed greatly to the success of the evening as master of cere- monies, played in an entirely diff- erent manner. and Mrs. Jock Law- son. LS his wife. brought many chuckles from the audience as they saw in her I caricature of the farmer's better half.

A show-stealer was presented last night in the person of little Marlene Weatherbie. who danced her way into the hearts of every- one with I vivacity and personal- ity which could not be resisted.

The Russian Ballet presented the "Dying Swan." to the com- plete delight of everyone. With I corps de ballet of four. and one premier danseiue. they performed this difficult number with I lack of grace which brought tears of laughter Performed entirely by members of the Y's Men. it is a number which will long be remem- bered by everyonc fortunate enough

see it. "The hillbilly singing of Janet

Rupert and Irene Giddings was another highlight. and the "Moe and Joe" dialogue and duets of

Ralph Rupert and Harvey Mac- Pherson should not be missed-. by anyone who enjoys I good laugh at the expense of local personalit- ies. i

The Y-Nots. always I feature of these annual shows, were on hand again last evening. and 'choral sel- ections by the entire cast helped to round out I very pleasing and varied program.

Other specialties which were re- ceived with round after round of applause included. "The string Busters"-Charles Peters and won- dell Burke: Hamid Bauer and his Iaxapholie: ”'rIlly-Ho"- Prank Mslliah: "The college Medley."- Y's Men; Violinist George Weath- eirble; accompanied by Icons Weatherbie; Strong Man and spieler -George Ives and George Wialtcra: Horse Race-Y's Mon; Humpty Ind Durnpty-Wendell Match and Art Duvet: Little Egypt. oh and spieler-Art Hogan. Clarence Mac- Ginn and Ralph Rupert: Bauo Raoul Raymond accompanied by Mrs. Raymond. and Icoordionist Phillip Doyle.

Munbers of the Russian Ballet were Allison Owen, Ralph Jeri- kins, Roy Binallmul, Jock Inw- son. and Charlie Wilkins.

Throughout the entire avanlnl a city slicker. played by Jack MW- son. was seen It intuvala as he pursued a most attractive ycunl lady across the stage. At the final our-lain ltha succumbed to I HG! horse which apparently belonsed to the slicker. thin bfihlinl I h'P' py ending to their daahins 30- rnance.
