l POLITICAL FORILJM-I

OUR WOMAN CANDIDATE

Sir. - The entrance of a lady candidate to the political arena is proving to be a popular move. She has received telephone calls and letters from different parts or he.- clcctoral district pledging confid- ence and support, ,particularly from women voters. It is an in- novation for Prince Edward ls- land, which no doubt will have many disciples ln the other Prov. incial elections in the near future. Women are beginning to assert; their "equal rights". From time im- memorial, they were held like chat- icls. and in some countries their status hasn't improved much. if

any.

when they were delivered from comparative bondage by the grant- ing of the franchise. their natural modesty and the inferiority com- plex inherited for thousands of yrars in a state of ahaldrom. kept them from" demanding recognition :1: once. A great change came about (luring World War II. Manpower liccame short. Women took men's places, and in many instances dem- onstrated that they could do the Jobs assigned them as well and gr-nerally better than men.

This lady, Mrs. !...G. Ramsay of Indian River, is well qualified to icprcscnt any body of people in :.ny parliament. She has had very considerable experience in the ad- ministration of local and commun- ity affairs, and in the larger polit- ical ampltheatre her many personal iricnds and admirers of her ability nisii her .unqualificd success.

The absence of women in our Legislature has been frequently dc- ..lored by male members of the House of Assembly.

Whether she sits on the Gov- rxinncnt side or on the Oppositloii iicnches, a woman's intuition and mcllowing influence would have a benign effect. Let us hope that the Zlrd District of Prince will have the honor of.electing the first woman to the P. E. I. Legislature. just. as they have had the distinction of nominating the first woman can- llidate in a political campaign.

I am, Sir. etc.. WOMAN VOTER. 3rd District of Prince.

He said he did not see any other cars at the accident. and that he wu in town quite a little while be- fore clght o'clock. "five or ten minutes at least."

"Would you have stopped if you had not been hailed or did not know Mr. Tweedyl". asked Jury- man Bradley. "I don't know, I might not as I would not want to get involved," he stated. He said the lights of any cars he had met did not bother him.

Oliver I-linne, Mount Edward Heights. stated that he left Char- lottem as about 7.10 on the even- ing of the accident and was head- ing for Murray Harbour. He met one car at Eouthport corner and travelled on as far as the Keppoch Road.

"Shortly after I saw a car and truck stopped on the road. The car door on the left hand side was opened." he said. "I slowed down and went by very carefully. I did not notice anyone around and did not know there was any ac- cident.

"I only met one car between Charlottetown and the scene of the accident and did not meet any more until 1 passed the accident. Tile next car was in front. of Well McNeill's. I met different ones af- ter that.

"It would be between 7.10 and 1.15 p. in. It was not dark and I did not put on my car lights. I did not put on my lights until somewhere near Pownal". He stated that the car he met by Mr. McNeill's did not have its lights on.

"Borden Champion, Charlotte- town, service manager at P. R. Mac- I.aine's. stated that he recovered Mr. Tweedy's vehicle the night of the accident. He tedified that he received the call shortly after eight o'clock and that he towed the car Into town.

-' Asked by Dr. MacGulgan If the car would run under its own power. he replied that it obviously would not as the radiator was considerably damaged and was bent into the fan belt and cooling system. .

Asked by the coroner to explain what he saw. he said that he view- ed the car next morning and men- tioned to some one that the darn- ggeg would possibly amount. to 3400. "It was mostly superficialvwith 00 percent of the damage being above the fenders.

The engine bonnet. cowl and windshield were considerably dam- aged, but he pointed out that 3 great deal of damage could be caus- ed to these parts with very little

Asked if he searched the car. he replied, "Not particularly." He stated that Judge Tweedy had phoned him Sunday mominlz Ind asked to be taken down to the shop. as there was I bottle of crown and a hamper of potatoes and tur- nips he wanted to take home.

annual meeting held yesterday u the Charlottetown Hotel when the full slate of officers was returned

to office along with the present ,

Board of Management. Two add!- tions were Mr. s.w. Willis and Rev. P. P. MacDonald. The officers include. lst. Vice President, Mr. Sidney T. Green, 2nd Vice Presi- dent. J.E. Dalton. Summersidc, Secretary. Mr. A. Walthen Gaudet and Treasurer. Mr. M. J. Bark- house.

Member of the Executive Com- mittee include. Rev. J. T. Ibbott. Mr. C. T. Montgomery, Mr. N. A. McLella1'l. Mr. Parnell MacMahon and Mrs. L. I. Miller. Medical ad- viser ls Dr. P. A. Creelman. and Ex- ecutive Secretary. Major V. N. Hori- son.

Dr. E. M. Found. the guest speak- er. gave an illustrated address em- phasizing the educational theme in combatting tuberculosis. and the work Kccomplishf through seno- torlum treatment.

16,203 people were X-raycd in the Province during the past year by the Mobile X-ray clinic operat- ed by the P. 13:. Island Tuberculosis League, it was stated at the meet- ing. l00 cases of infection were found through the survey. of that number 10 were primary, 50 min- imal, 25 more advanced and six for advanced.

The cost per new case found am- ounted to :920. This compares with a cost per new case found amount- ing w 3534 in 1999. 8444 in 1943 and 3404 in 1047.

Lieutenant - Governor T. w.L. Prowse was a special guest. other guests included Dr. O.W. Curtis, Chief Health Officer for the prov- ince. and the guest speaker. Dr. E M. Found. .

In his report as President of the organization F. W. Curtis said "the declining rate of case finding is also gratifying to our medical author- ities, although it is giving rise in the minds of some as to hetlier the cost of the mass survey just- ifiable ln proportion to the results indicated in our statistics."

Mr. Curtis noted that the medi- cal adviQr's report indicates that the TB situation is much improv- ed in the last five years, but the President added his own comment: "When a widespread public men- ace is on the verge of being brought under control. it is not the time to relax .. ' -measures. Rather. when you have an enemy on the run. is the time to press hard and exploit past gains. The League's mobile unit is one means of getting to a large percentage of our rural population which could not other- wise bc conveniently given this pro- ventive service. To withdraw its de- tectlve value at this stage, with- out substituting something else, would enable potential active cases to spread without check and the conflagration would burst out anew."

He added that "if there are more effective and economical preventive means should not the League look into the question?"

Thanks were extended by the President to all those who had helped during the year. He had a special word of thanks to the Min- ister of Public Health and Welfare and his associates: also to the ex- ecuti a secretary. V. N. Hudson, the thre technicians and the Seal sale secretary.

The Seal gale brought in s. rov- enue last year of 88,856.21. Govern-- merit grants amounted to 310,072.79. I, The total eceipts amounted to 310,- i 072.18. There was a bank balance of more than 311,000 at March 31 in addition to I small amount of cash on hand amounting to 011.40.

The financial report was given by Mr. M. J. Barkhouse, the League Treasurer.

The League has five permanent employees. There is the executive secretary. an X-ray technician. an assistaont. technician, a dark room technician and Seal sale secretary.

AIIRS-ct llow F Election Results

Premier J. Walter Jones. 73 year old l.-iberal leader. is aiming at a record as he takes his party into today's Prince Edward Island gen- eral election.

If his party remains in power in the 30-seat Legislature he will be the first party leader ever to take his forces successfully through three general contests. Liberals have been in power for the last IG years and under Premier Jones since 1943. He went to the polls that year, and again in 1947.

His main opposition tomorrow will come from R. R. Bell. 50- ycar-old lawyer and practical farmer. Mr. Bell assumed leader- ship of the six-man opposition in the last House. succeeding Dr. W. J. P. MacMillan. veteran leader of the party who resigned because of pressure of other duties.

Both the Liberals and Progress- ive Conservatives have full slate of 30 candidates. in the field. The C. C. F. is contesting only five seats. compared to 16 in 1947 when all their candidates lost their deposits. Since then the deposit has been increased from 550 to 3200 and party leaders say this is one reason for a reduction in the number of candidates.

Douglas Mac!-larlane. 34, a Bedeque farmer. is president of the C. C. F. party but is not con- testing a seat. His father. how- ever, is a candidate. One of thr- five C.C.P. candidates is Mrs. Hilda Ramsay. a housewife and the first woman to contest a pro-' vincial seal.

The issues have been clear-cut. Premier Jones said he wanted to know whether the people ap- proved of his Government's fin- ancial negotiations with Ottawa. Mr. Bell. criticizing the short notice of the z-lection. termed it an election of fear. The C.C.!-'. said the election of their candl- dates would awaken Federal auth- orities to the Island's needs.

Both the older parties have promised more assistance to the Pvovince's basic industries-farm- ing and fishing. They have agreed too on study and possible reform of the Island's unique electoral system. 1

Under the system two classes of representatives-Councillors and As- semblemcn-arc elected although there is no distinction in the leg. islature.

Because of varying qualifications for voting, it is possible for one person to vote for all 30 candi- dates. This makes it impossiblc also to estimate the number of eligible voters.

The Island itself has a popu- lation of about 95.000. approxim- ately the same as the city of Hall- fax. Those eligible will cast their votes at 245 polls from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. A.S.T.

Premier Says Ferry Service Will Start (In Scheduled Time

Belief that the Wood Islands ferry service will go on this year as scheduled despite rumors to the contrary. was expressed yes- terday by Premler J. Walter Jones. The Premier said there was only a few dollars' difference between the subsidy which is be- ing asked by the operating com- pany. and what the Dominion is offering. and that this difficulty will be resolved before the May 1st date of sailing operations.

Meanwhile Mr. R. E. Mutch.

president of Northumberland Ferries LId.. said he had no statement to make as to when

the service would start, or as to the nature of the rumored hold- up In the arrangements.

Former Islander Scores Song Success

Mr. Clarence Charters. compos- er of "When Its summer At Green Gables." and formerly of this Province. is stated in a. Vancouver newsaper to be on the threshold of fame with his new song. "Isle of Oampobello." written in col- laboration with U. S. musioman S. B. "Whitey" Halns.

Campobello is the historic New Brunswick spot sometimes called "The Summer White iilouse" as the Roosevelts were among the famous U. 5. families who had summer homes there. Among those said to be interested in the song are publishers. musicians, radio station C. B. R... Don Gar- rard and Eleanor Roosevelt.

Mr. charters was formerly with the Charlottetown Hotel, and is now employed with the C.N.R. hotel in Vancouver. .

Salvation Army lied Shield campaign

It has been learned from Mr. 1'. Roy Cudmore. Provincial Chair- man of the Red Shield Appeal. that the organization throughout the Province is proceeding very well.

Besides the many Women”: In- stitute: who are volunteering to canvass their districts, the Town of Summerside has completed their organization under the chair- manship of Mr. Don Baker, as- sisted by iMiss Jean MacFadyon. chairman of the Women's Divis- ion.
