Mr. Everson Interviewed

Messrs A. Horne and Company, General Motors desier of Char- lottetown and rnerside, was referred to in the highest terms by Mr. Everson in s press interview yesterday afternoon. This local firm, he said. has been connected with General Motors for the pus?- twenty yesrs. and handled one of the Lrst Chevrolet ears brought into Canada.

“Listening to our w.» tstivos about conditions on ‘he Island." Mr. Everson added, "it sc-ms lo me

‘ that we have reason to be quite optimistic. As early as last No- vember our new cars were in- troduced; we have already made quite a number of sales and the pros,. ‘s are decidedly outag- in

That Prince Edward Island is beccming “motor car minded" was evident, he suggesfed, from the fact that last sea-son some 7,200 cars of all kinds were registered in the Province-which worked out to about one ear per eleven oi population. We are still far behind Ontario in this respect, where the ‘cisrs per capita. are about one to

ve. ,

Mr. Everson cited the new paved highway between Charlottetown Summerside and Borden ls s great forward step in Island transpor- tation, and one which would un- doubtedly result in ‘ creased tour- ist traffic.

increased Motor Car Freight

The overseas shipment via St. John and Halifax are more active than for many years past at this season, Mr. Evcrson continued. The year i995 had registered more than 50 per cent increase in motor ca: frclght to the Msrltlmcs, he said, General Motors shipments having amounted to more than i500 czrloads. Since the introduction of i986 models, two months ago. frolghts had also been heavy. Act- rvhy of the mofior car industry in Cunudu was felt in many ways in th: lifaritlmcs, he pointed out, em- llhqslzlng that when automobile factories were busy, the industries 0i Ens-tern Canada. felt immediate benefit. A substantial tonnage of coal from C o Breton, Mr. Ever-

~sou said, fin its way to the plant 0i General Motors of Canada, LLmitcd, at Oshawa.

PRESIDENT'S nsronr

Your Honour, Mr. Preml.., Your vvorshp, Miss- Brown‘ and friends of the “ed Cirs 2

it is fl Ling that the President’ report of the Rinse Edward Island DivLsLn of the CansdlsnTted Cross Society at the outs; should give exprsslon to t. e pzofound ssh e of sorrow and css whloh we feel in common with cur fellow subjects everywher... in the parsing of our late beloved King. George the ‘Fifth had many claims upon the honour and of eclion of his people, but we, as mombzrs cf the Red Cross So- ciety,-‘.he World's prfmler human- itarian organization-remember hi1}! especially as a great hiunonitsrlan He‘ was always touched with sor- .ow, in the sorrow: oi his people: in all their sffictions he was af- ijicted, and his royal bounty was generously dispensed in aid or all

fering. He has posed from the scene but the lustre of his char- acter zhlnes on like s star. He takes his place in history, adding his rich contribudon to that-grail; heritage of moral excellence which the gcrlcus- dead of Britain have parsed on to succeeding genera- ions-an example .and inspiration m all the people of our Empire. Int u; then for a season mourn his piissln", and then forever more. re- jcire that Providence has enriched our nation with such a lie and such a memory.

Royal Patronage

For» some years as Prince 0! wales, King Edward has iren the Patron of the Canadian Red Cross S:cle‘y. No Prince has ever sc- quainted ' " more intimately or‘ sympahtized more deeply, with the sufferings and hardships of the unfortunate amongst his people. .We may fe‘l assured that the Kong's great influence wi‘l always be given to the promotion through- out hi- Empire of such humanitar- ian purposfls as form the object-S of our Society. We pledo‘ i0 N111 our heartfelt allegiance. and carn- cstly pray for his succets and hop- piness. God ssve ‘he King!

1.‘... submit s short report of the mrk done during the your just pus-

During the visits of m. Acker in the spring and fall o. great deal oi work was done by him and those helping him at both the Summ side and Charlo-tetcwn clinics. He made 299 examinations and por- formed 35 operations, manipulalions or other treatments.

A total of 375 children , I ' treatment of various kinds durinS the year which was 134 more than in the previous yepr. Of these, 106 were orthopedic cases and several of these .equired operations‘ by Dr. Acker, and treatment at the Cor- rective Clinic to the number of 1214 were given to 81 patients. 159 children were fitted with glasses, or treated for eye diseases. There were 99 children who had Tonsil sud Adenoid operations. ~ Convalescent care was given to 12 patients. There were 3 operations for hare lip; 5 for diseases of ears and nose; while special diets were provided gar i; cases; and radium treatment

or .

The total amount received for the Handicapped Children's Fund was $3,572.01 made up as follows: Received from Charlotte-

town Rotary Club $1,282.34 From Seal Sale Campaign

through Gyro Club 500.00 Frorr. other adult done

tions 19.57 and best of all from the

Juniors‘ themselves . . . . .. 1,774.16

These Junior Red {floss members are cerfalnly to be co. gratulated on this splendid effort. They exceed- ed their 1.; t year's gift by over "$00.00 As a result we were able to ‘o more work than could have been ‘one with receipts similar to 1934.

The total expenditure during the IE3!‘ was 83.43955 leaving a. bal- ance to start with in 1936.

The expenditures would of nurse have been tremendously in- meased but for greatly reduced arlces for glasses supplied by Optometrists; and the voluntary and entirely free work done by the Medical profession, more especially perhaps, by those who removed tonsils and sdenolds. 99 cases, and also those who performed such other operations, as has lip and s0 on. It would have been impossible to have pafd for these out of the Red Cross Funds, as in ordhary medical practice It would have taken at least 92,000.00 to pay for
