TUESDAY

One woman was injured and two cars were badly. damaged as the result of a collision at Hun- ter River corner about 7.15 Sun- day evening.

Mrs. Mac-Cormack from St. Eleanor-'s. driver of the car pro- rm-fling from Charlottetown to- wards Summerslde, was treated for shock and a sore shoulder. Her condition is not believed to

be serious. The accident occurred as the car on the Summerslde highway

collided with a car that had been travelling along the New Glas- gow Road from Rustico. The car proceeding from Rustlco was driv- en by Mr. Charles Chandler, Charlottetown.

The i'Il1', operated by Mrs. Mac- (tnrmack was upset in the ditch and badly damaged. The other car lanried in the ditch but, was less seriously damaged.

Two Queen Square School Leach- ers. Misses Mary Duffy and Mary Moran will head back to their teaching duties this morning aftcr a summer vacation in which they probably became the first people to travel across Canada in a British- made car.

"Car dcnlcrs across the Dinnin- ion would just shake their heads and rlishelicve us." stated Miss Moran. ”whcn we told them that we had reached Vancouver and were on our way back to P. E. I. in the i949 car."

But believe I or not the same iittln automobile was good enough to take the girls through four mountain passes including the Logan Pass in Montana, through eight provinces in Canada and sev-

lrnglnnd States which could best be served by coastal shipping. Every effort should be made to encourage coastal shipping.

5. The Provincial Government should ,urge the Federal Govern- ment to build the Chignecto Canal, stressing the importance of same to the defence of Canada and to the economy of the Maritime Provin- C93.

6. The Provincial Government should encourage private enter- prise to set up a truck clearing cen- tre so that trucks engaged in pro- vincial and inter-provincial trade would make arrangements for car- rying a load both on entering and leaving the Province, thus reduc- ing freight charges. Transportation via means of truck is now and will be more so in the future an import- ant factor in our economy. b

'7. The Provincial Government should study the question of claim- ing damages from the Federal Governmentas 3 result of the losses suffcred by our people because of the cessation of car ferry service in direct contravention of the terms of confederation.

8. The Provincial Government should make a study of gasoline and oil storage facilities in the Province to ensure such storage is adequate. Such commodities are now essential to our economy.

9. The Provincial Government should urge upon the management responsible for the operation of the ferries at Wood Islands:

(a) that adequate search lights he installed on all ferries.

(B7 that an adequate system be put in operation for advance res- ervnilon of space for trucks, auto- mobiles, etc. on such ferries.

vrntion. Organized by the Mont-y

cgue Branch under the leadership of Branch Piresident Roddy Matt- in, it was said by many to be one of the best Legion Conventions held in years.

Recommendations for the protec- tion and improvement of the econ- omy of the Province, dealing part- icularly with the operation of the cnrferry service at Borden and the problem presented by the tleup in the service during the railw y strike. have been made to the P - vinclal Government by the Econ- omic Advisory Board. The recom- mendations, which are embodied in a report of the Board”: activities during the strike period, are as fol- lows:

l. The Provincial Government should continuously stress on the Federal Government that control and operation of car ferries and terminals be taken from the Can- adian National Railways and given to 9. Department of Government or to a Commission.

2. The Provincial Government should send a report to the Royal Commission on Transportation out- lining the difficulties and dangers faced by this Province during the recent rail strike - this report to include copies cf correspondence, newspaper reports, pictures show- ing the congestion of traffic at Wood Islands, etc.

3. The Provincial Govemment should recommend that a second ferry be operated between Port Borden and Cape Tormentine dur- ing the whole period of open nav- lgation.

4. The Provincial Government should make a study of the mark- ets for our products in Newfound- laml. Labrador, Northern Quehcc. other Maritime Provinces and New

These ferries are increasing in iintortance yearly to our tourist industry and agricultural and fish- ing industries. There are still per- iods of congestion and everything should be done to increase the number of scheduled trips daily, and to expeditiously and conven- iently transport all persons and vehicles desiring the use of this service.

lo, The Provincial Government should request the riederal Govern- ment to allow this Province repre- sentation on the board of directors of the Canadian National Railway.

Mr. Hearth N. Macquarrie of Victoria, P. E. I., has recently re- ceived a congratulatory mes- sage from Dr. Alberto Fleras, Secretary General of the organiz- ation of American States at Wash- ington. The message followed the reading of Mr. Macquarx-ie's M. A. thesis which dealt with the Pan- American Union and Canadian Foreign Policy, a copy of which has been placed in the library of the Pa-n-American Union at Wash- ington. ,

The Organization of American States was founded (under a dif- ferent name) in 1890 and includes in its membership all nations of the Western Hemisphere with the exception of Canada. It is thus iihe

with 540 I year ago. Girls attend St. Mary's Academy u to grade ten and boys to grade our.

The explanation for the drop in registrations is no doubt the frt that many air force families hm. moved out to Blemon Park during the summer and their children will be going to school at the lrport this year. A substantial in case in the number attending school the-c is anticipated. It is quite likely that the number of children going to school in Summerside this year from families of local residents is higher than ever.

The usual first day rush was in evidence yesterday as the children converged on the two schools many of them with a little brother or sister by the hand.'who were going for the first time.

l-Iolman's had set up 9. special. department for the sale of text books and the rush in that area was not unlike the anniversary sale.-S.

The tw.en.ty-fourth Prince Coun- tY.EX.l'LlbltlOIi at Alberton was of- ficially opened yesterday afternoon by His Honor J. A. Bernard, Lieu- tenant Governor of Prince Edward Island. in the presence of one of "19 largest crowds ever assembled in the history of the fair.

Lt.-Governor Bernard was in- troduced by the new president of the Association. Mr. Lester Wal- lace. Governor Bernard paid a niting tribute to the work of the former president, Mr. A. D. O'- Brien. who through his zeal and energy had placed the exhibition on a sound substantial basis. His Honor said that the people of the district owe much to Mr. O'Brien and to his faith in the eventual success of the enterprise when the outlook was not so promising and for the manner in which the fair had been conducted at all times.

"Your fa.:," he said, "which has done so much for the people of this district, has ever been regard- ed as one of the best in the Tro- vince. It is educationrl, instruct- ive and helpful and therefore it is instrumental in bringing to your exhibitors advanced ideas in ag- ricultural and other pursuits. Without it I venture to say that there would be a void and a de- pression that would surely be re- flected in backward conditions in our midst.

R. at Char- lottetown freight imports during the month of July showed a decid- ed drop over the same month last year, and exports were approxi- mately thirty percent higher.
