We hope the U. S. A. 'l'rotti.ng Asociation rules are never a- mended to make it compulsory for rtacters to double as crooners. At the Charlottetown Exhibition mic-

hm. Does this mean that our hm Doc Dougan will be obliged lo take up vocal lessons? We hope lot. All we can ask of a starter is that he enforce the Trotting Association rules. Vocal solos once in a while might be wel- aorned. but as a steady dish would not suit race crowds. After all. the baseball umpire is not ex- pected to give forth with t-he lat- est song hit. between innings, nor Is the hockey referee asked to do I Barbara Ann Scott routine be- tween periods. Lets not get things mixed up, Already Dr. Dougan is doing a fine job both as starter and in his running commentary on the race: over the loud speak- II.

Those who are not railroad men think the boys are well paid. It might be said in passing that there Ire 1200 men employed by the C. N.R. in this Province. and this takes in the Canad-ian National felegraphs. the Canadian National Express, the two carferrles. and the Charlovttetown Hotel. If by yne sweep of the pen all of the 1200 had their incomes reduced to I much lower level wouldn't our local merchants and business folks lose out in the rtransaction? It is very nice to have well-paid work- ers pcopling a town. or better still. plenty of folks of independ- ent means who spread their dol- lars around a bit.

It was no secret at the time our present Premier J. Walter Jones began a campaign for a ferry ser- vice at Wood islands that his pro- grars was hindered by luke-warm- ness and even ridicule from most quarters. Dougald MacKinnon. his colleague in the Belfast Electoral District was one of the few out- and-out backers of the scheme. Others swung into line after the then Minister of Finance pro- nounced it a sound and practical project.

Two island men. Sitanl Howa-it of Carleton and Lloyd I-nman of Bor- den. are operating a trucking ser- vice between Maritime points and Boston. At present they are mak- ing weekly trips to Boston from the Island. They have a giant trailer with a capacity of seven- teen tons.

On Friday. September lst. when the truck-trailcr leaves for Bos- ton. the cargo will consist of sev- enteen tons of turnips. On the zeturn trip. 35,000 pounds of fruit will be carried for I:-lalid compan- Les. The trip to the American city zalrcs twenty hours. Should this type of trucking expand. the Is- .and will not be dependent 'on rail-.va.vs as much as they have been in the past.

The Eastern Packers of Souris had a very succc.ssful year in han- tiling strawberries. The Company packed 6000 cases. all of which have been .3ld in Canada. some of them going to the Central Pro- vinces. and .a good quantity to Newfoundland. Mr. Paul Gallant. who with Mr. Arthur Peters man- aged the atTairs of the Eastern Packers. is more enthusiastic than ever about the possibilities in strawberry growing. This year the Company could have handled and sold perhaps double the quan-

lily of strawberries that they were -

able to buy. Mr. Gallant believes that strawberries are a more re- liable crop than potatoes with less possibility of fluctuations in the market. He believes that Island fa-rmers should take greater ad- vantage of the opportunity open to them in growing. this fruit. 0 0

All over the Island new schools Ire springing up. and the kids of the future will have more com-

. forlable school surroundings than

they had in the past. The com- munity of Monticello in King's County. has a very attractive new school with plenty of glass front- age to take full advantage of the sunlil. days. The new school stands alongside the one which so Ions served the people of Monticello. The contrast between the old and new. is startling. and perhaps it- lustrates more sharply than any- thing else. improved conditions in the Province in the past ten years. Monticello has a right to feel proud of the new building. ,

Ona oi the beauty spots of htnca

Edward Island will be found York around the old church (Meth- odist). built in early days by the Wests. Sellers. Vesseys. Malletts and others. Most. of them. save for two very elderly man. namely. Messrs. Ed. vessey and Pope Cooke. both residing in York, have since passed away.

In the past few years the church has been renovated. in current foundation placed under it; elec- trlc lights and furnace have been installed and it has been epalnted in cream and white. The church shed. which sheltered the horses during the church services has been moved from its former site to the west. corner of the grounds.

Three years ago an idea occurred that the old burial ground to the north and rear of the church should be transformed to I place of pride and beauty. No sooner was the idea discussed at a meeting than a cemetery committee was appointed Descendants of those sleeping in the church grounds were contacted and other donations given. The graves were leveled. plans of the cemetery were made. monuments

were straightened. In. anger: in upland to do the work". and by the dforta of everybody, a beau- ty spot resulted.

A llaollna lawn mower has been purchased and Mr. unsrd Andrews in the present can-taker and is

m keeping it a spot of beauty.

Now on the east side of York Road stood the Mann. The im- provunent of this building was the next. big task. Through the com- bined efforts and talents of each and everyone in York. the interior was transformed through funds raised by large entertainments. eon- stating of plays. dialogues. etc. and collections from all parts of the ctr- cult. Improvements were a modern kitchen. modpm bath and shower. the walls were repainted and new furniture was purchased. The out- side appearance was to see a com- plete transformation. very shortlyl after Rev. John Douglass was induc- hed into the York circuit. the trans- formation was commenced. This spring Rev. Mr. Douglass entered the Rural Beautification contest.

The roof of the mlnse was shing-

les. The manse took on a dressed- up appearance when painted in white. Old fences and misplaced trees and shrubs were torn down or rooted out. The driveway was moved over to the south fence. A lovely border of shrubs. bulbs. and

ed, planted with vegetables. flowers and more ornamental shrubs. This kansformattop is a credit to Rev. Mr. Doulllil tor his many hours or ceaseless atoll. Lastly. but not least. the improv- ed gravel highway under construc- tion between the church. burial srounds. and. the mama adds beau- ty to these, grounds. This beauti- ttad church property is a fitting symbol of the combined effort: or all who in any way assisted in this worthwhile project.
