Only behind the iron curtain in such territories as Korea and northern China. were the mis- <ifllli.flC5 prevented from preaching the Ciospel of Christ. The appeal for missionaries for India and Africa was continuous and while the Church was doing its utmost. to answer the call. the demand was greater than the Church could illi.

CHARLOTFETO W m

Show In Aid Of Firemen Fund Is Big Succes

An old time Minstrel Show, with touches as modern as the New Look, graced the boards, and de- lighted an applauding audience at the mpire Theatre last. night.

The Holy Name Minstrels corr- tributed a cleverly produced and acted performance on behalf of the Charlottetown Fire Depart- ment, and the Tournament Fund went up several notches as a re- suit.

Four excellent end-men. Messrs. Connie LeClair, Elmer Gallant, Frank Bradley, and Frank O'Neil, in the traditional end-man roles p d up the laughs in their duel o wits with no. Frank Casey. the hard-working lnterlocutor. Along the way, the end-men took ma a sly but playful shot at City-Hal , the Fire Department, the Govern- ment end various Government ser- vices. As usual the interlocutor fell down in every attempt to keep the quartette of answer men under control.

The music. the songs. and the comedy splashes came in the right; spots, arid 504116 of the novelties were really something.

Mike Hennessey, doing an Al Jolson routine. got the okay of the crowd from the minute he went into his act. This was one of the key numbers in the well-blended pattern of t.he_ show. Hughie

Trainer's continuous interruptions was another factor irr keeping the comedy rippling along.

The show was under the direc- tion of Rani: G. O'Neil with Aus- tin B. Connolly as musical direc- tor. These men did an excellent job, and very obviously devoted much time dndstsge experience iii the presentation of a show of such scope and quality.

True to custom, the big show was preceded by s street parade in which several pieces of the Fire Department's motor equipment took part. Members of the Minstrel cast including four clowns, figured in the procession.

I-Iesdiiriing the parade was the Reece Band, now one of the best musical organizations in the Marl- iimes. Directed by their exper- ienced leader, Mr. Tom MacFar- lane, and wearing their scarlet dress tunics, the Band pleased the eye as well as t e ear as they did their share to boost. the Fire De- partment's Fund.

The Fire Department has asked that their thanks be extended to the members of the Holy Name Minstrels for a gratis performance. to, the F. G. Spencer Company for free use of the theatre, to the Press and radio for their publicity.

The cast of the show were serv- ed refreshments at the V-Club a.t~ ter the show.

Council Discusses

City Dump

Conditions.

Though the conversion of the basement of the Market Building into a terminal for the I.M.T. was not discussed at last night's regu- lar monthly meeting of the City Council, a. resolution was passed appointing Messrs. J.E. Harris and E. S. Blanchard. architects, “to make plans and specifications" for that purpose and to “call for ten- ders for the necessary conversion."

There were several exchanges between Mayor B. Earle MacDon- ald and Coun. Edwin C. Johnstone over the City dump. Coun. John- stone said Charlottetown was s. "dirty city" and the sanitary eng- ineer was “too easily satisfied."

Coun. Johnstone said he agreed with the report of Coun. C. M. Cox who said that many complaints were coming in respecting the bad odour arising from the dump. “I think.” Coun. Johnstone said. “that half of our citizens will agree with me that this is a dirty City."

’ Mayor Objects

Mayor B. Earle MacDonald ob- jected to the statements made by Coun. Johnstone regarding the sanitary condition of the dump and the cleanliness of the City. "I have been in the Council for ten years," the Mayor said, "and have heard a lot of talk about the dump but there never has been anything clone about it. Moreover, I don't believe the Charlottetown dump is any worse than those in any other City. 1t certainly is not as bad as the Halifax dump.

"What are we going to do about it? Are we going to buy a $401309 incinerator? Where is the money coming from to pay for such i1 plant. There was a letter in llle press some time ago by B- 151°“ ymmgd Sharp. He wrote it about 15 minutes after he got out of col- lege. The Premier could not un- derstsnd who had given Sharp his authority to have such a letter published. The Deputy-Minister knew nothing about it.

"So far as our streets beinl dirty is concerned, I d0 not S" why I should be responsible for the unclean or untidy habits 0! some of our citizens. The Street Department is spending thcvsaflfli of dollars a year on them. ytl? yo“ say the City is dirty.

Few Complaint:

“I seldom hear any COM-PlB-lllls from our older citizens. If half of our citizens think the City l5 dilly and unsanitary and unfit to live in, if those. especially. who Heme into it from the country think so, then why don't they" 8° back where they came lrvm?

Coun. S. F. Doyle said he had listened to Dr. KeePlHG read m‘ health report but had not heard him mention the dumP- 001w- Doyle did not believe the sanitary officer should be held reslioflslble for the dump. He was not in ex- pert on sanitary conditions. Coun. Doyle said he was no longer lili- crested in hearing complain“ about the dump. about the stray clogs, and about several other mat- tern, what he wanted to hear was the remedy. What power W! ll" city to improve conditions con- cerning any of those complaints Simply none. He did not object to the Councillors airing their views but until some definite remedy W85 suggested, be thought it a waste of time.

Coun. Johnstone: "I don't con- sider It a waste of time to speak against the dump. l! don't believe

any place that breeds flies and.

encourages rats to make the place their home is sanitary-"

Mayor MacDonald: "That eon- dlticn has existed for years and I believe the dump is sanitary as far as causing disease is concerned."

Coun. Cox said when the dump was filled, the Provincial Govern- ment would allow the City to use a piece of low-lying ground beyond the llbrhlbltion Grounds provided the City would sell the Govern- ment the plece of land it had pur- chased for an Incinerator aite. lie would not recommend the sale of the land since the only way to dispose of refuse is by a high tem-

perature incinerator and this piece

of property was the only suitable cite for such equipment.

Crescent Dump

Another unsightly place, Coun. COX said. was the dump at Des- Brisay Crescent. Complaints were coming from citizens about the smell there and he recommended that a culvert be extended through the ares and the dump covered with clay. "We have as nice 3, City as is to be found in Eastern Emma." voun. Cox said. “but it is a. dirty one. Do we lack civic pride?"

Coun. Cox said the Town Plan- ning Board had carefully consid- ered the problem of s suitable io- cation for the bus terminal and that the majority were in favour of the terminal being located. in the basement of the Market. A brief ‘in support of the project would be submitted to the City Council, Coun. Cox said.

In concluding his report. Coun. Cox paid a tribute to the hospital- ity of Mayor-Arnett and his Town Council upon the recent visit of four City Councillors to Summer- sidc to inspect the I.M.T. terminal irr that town.

Street Work

Coun. J.D. Stewart, chairman of the Street Committee, said the re- cent coid and wet weather had greatly retarded all patching of the streets. For the last 10 days it had been almost impossible to do any work upon them. With finer weather, however, and with the completing of the new asphalt plant within the next few weeks, the work will proceed faster so that all patching will be finished in plenty of time.
