President Of S’Side Society

SUMMERSIDE — Earl Mac- Eachera was re-elected president of the Summerside Auxiliary of the British and Foreign Bible Society at the annual meeting on Wednesday evening; at a combin- ed service con ed by Rev. C. R. Webber, isted by Rev. Keith Hobson, Rev. W.O. Weale and Rev. Dr. Weir.

Soloist for the meeting was Qharles Craig who sang “The Lost Chord” and “How Great Thou Art’. with musical accom- panyment by Mrs. L.M. Callbeck.

Guest speaker for the evening was Rev. J.C. Williamson, whose remarks were based on “The Speaking God". The treasurer, Milton Mellish, reported that ante had been collected for the Bible society.

In the annual report of Presi- dent Earl MacEachern he stated that in Canada the Scriptures are

now being distributed in more than 100 languages, and during

the last 10 years an average of more than 325,000 Bibles, Testa- ments: and Scripture portions have been distributed.

Bibles have been presented to more than 1° million immi- grants, and almost as many more pocket sized Testaments have been presented to members of the blind in Braille and throught talking book records. A. volume of Braille costs $2.50 to produce and is sold to the,blind for 25 cents.

He noted that the work of the bible society had been limited last year only. by the shortage of money, and although the print- ing department had _ increased production from 6,000,000 Scrip*- ures in 1950 to almost 12,000,000 last year they still were unable te meet tha demand.

Other officers elected at the annual meeting were: Emery Linkletter, vice president; Mrs. L.M. Calbeck, secretary; Milton Mellish, Treasurer.

sepeave RINK woist Sx’ Mild Epidemic Is Striking

Children In Summerside Area

SUMMERSIDE—A cal infection manifested chiefly in the disease scarletina has reached the priportions of a mild epidemic in the Summerside ar- ea and is showing noticeable effects in the attendance of schocl children, especially in the elementary grades.

Medical authorities describe the illness as a mild form of scarlet fever. The incidence in children

ually accompanied by fairly high temperatures and the patient may. or may not have.a rash.

Sore, throat. sometimes devel- oping into glandular swelling are also symptoms of the illness which in most cases runs its course in a week, depending

streptococ-: upon how soon treatment is re-

ceived.

Doctors in Summerside are hopeful that the disease which started about two months ago, has now reached its peak.

In Charlottetown provincial health officer, Dr. Burton Ho- watt said the streptococcal in- fection prevalent in the Simmef- side district is. not considered to be a serious type of illness. He, said there was no antitoxin tor it and in most instances there is quick response to penicillin in- jections.

Dr. Howatt felt that the di- sease, now confined to the wes- tern part of the Island might well spread to all parts of the

province before very long.

1,300 Retarded On Island, S’Side So-Ed Group Is Told

SUMMERSIDE — The _ third weekly meeting of the Sunimer- side So-Ed Group was held at the Y Center on Green Street, Wednesday evening. The special speaker was Miss Elizabeth Coyle of Charlottetown. Miss Coyle is a teacher of a class of 10 men-| tally retarded children in Char- lottetown. Her class was set up im the spring of 1956, and is cal- led the P.E.I. Day Training School. It is suported mainly hy the Charlottetown branch of the Canadian Legion and the provin- cial government.

Miss Coyle pointed out that there are 480,000 retarded persons in Canada, 160,000 of these are

| children and about 13,000 more

will be born this year.

Here on the Island, there are about 1,300- retarded under 19 years: while in Summerside, there are approximately 216, a‘ bout 70 of these are under 18.

A survey by the mental health clinic revealed that there were 30 retarded children attending classes with norma?’ children in Summerside. There are th le- vels of mental retardation in ghildren; educable, trainable or untrainable. There are no clas- ses for educable children on the Island. Ooh as

E

A good part of the reason for this is the shortage of teachers. Miss Coyle expressed the hope that someone would be willing to take the necessary training to open a class for this level of children. ;

Miss Coyle went on to explain the many and varied problems facing the child, parents and tea- cher. She closed her talk with

The priority given by the de- fence department to air and naval defence of Canada militates against any early decision by the government.

The current program for the Bomare anti - aircraft missile, SAGE -electronic control system and new radar stations will cost well over $300,000,000, though the U.S. is expected to bear about two-thirds of this amount.

Adoption of the supersonic

The division is an interceptor force comprising eigat scuadrons of Sabres and four squadrons of Cf-100s. The interceptor task is expected to be taken over more and more by missiles: Thus the air division likely will have to be converted into a strikiug force capable of hitting ground targets with nuclear weapons .

SHORT RUNWAYS :

One of the main attractions to the RCAF of the Super Tiger is its capability of using a runway no longer than the deck of an aircraft carrier. This would make the four RCAF airfields in Eu-
