LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR F. Walter Hyndman signs the guest book in Ye Olde Blue Dragon Im, one of the tourist attrac-

tions at Woodleigh in Burling-

ton. Lieut.-Col. E.W. Johnstone owner, looks on.

New Tourist Attraction Was Made Available Last Night

Another Prince Edward Island tourist attraction became avail- able last night when Lieut.-C'ol- onel E. W. Johnstone opened his Woodleigh home at Burlington to the public as a commercial ven- ture. ,

The beautiful grounds with their special feature attractions were opened officially by Lieu- tenant-Governor F. Walter Hynd-

man.

.Al Nicholson, Director of the Provincial Travel Bureau, acted as master of ceremonies for the very brief and informal opening

ceremony. _

Later the invited guests enjoy- ed a social hour in the Johnstone home. There were a ferwspecial musical numbers. including a vocal and piano solo by Gail Car- ter of North Milton; several gae- llo ducts and a general smgsong in which everyone joined. Mrs. Edwin Johnstone was accom- panist and also played a number of piano solos. A delicious lunch- eon was served.

The Woodleigh grounds. have been 1 top tourist attraction for yearc. Six thousand guests re- gistered last year in addition to

the many who did not stop to sign the guest book. I V

For the past few years, Col. Johnstone explained, he has been faced with the decision of making the proposition :1 com- mercial, venture, or closing the ground to the public. The large number of visitors took so much time and energy that it became impossible to maintain the grounds and show the visitors around without any revenue coming in to offset the expense.

Some of the attractions include replicas of/Gilamis_ Castle, an old sun dial, a wishing well, Shakespeare’~s birthplace, York- minister cathedral, the church 43.1’. Stokes Poges, made famous in Grayls “Elegy \ in a Country Churchyard”, the Manor House at Stokes Poges, Ann Hathaway’s thatched cottage, and Ye Olde Blue Dragon Inn.

There is also the Gate Lodge which will serve as a welcoming office for visitors and will house a novelty shop. _

Col. Joh-nstone ex:p1ained_ last night that the grounds will be open to visitors six days a week. But they will be closed on Sun- days, he emphasized.

Lebanese Gov't Forces In ‘Battles With Rebels

BEIIRUT, Lebanon (AP) -— Jet planes, a-rtillery and armored ca-rs thundered into action Friday against rebel forces sla=sh=in.g at Leba»non’s hard-pressed govern- ment. An army communique said rebel attacks were stopped on four fronts in new fighting.

The regime of President Ca- mile Chamoun was facing the hardest challenge of the rebellion that began seven weeks ago.

Sporadic shooting and bomb blasts echoed through Beirut Fri- day night.

Heavy fighting broke out in Beirut’s Basta M-oslem quarter in the morning and again in the aft- ernoon.

Rebel fighters opened a heavy attack on army positions on Mount Tereol in North Lebanon, but were driven off after jet planes and artillery were thrown in to support the troops, the com- munique said.

DRIVE OFF REBELS

In a third engagement, rebels struck at a garrison at Rashaya in the Bekaa valley of southern Lebanon. The attackers were driven oflf in a sharp exchange of gunfire, ‘the communique said.

The rebel forces made another attack at the north Lebanese port of Tripoli. The army said they penetrated to within 50 yards of army positions before they were driven off.

Progress Is Reported In P.E.I. Rural Electrification

By tit end of the current year many additional outlying areas of the Province will have received the advantage of par- manent electrical power. ,

In an annoimcement made public yesterday, Hon. A. W. Matheson disclosed that 54 miles of this year’s program had al- ready been completed, 56 ad- ditional miles were nearing completion and “an immediate start” will be made on anoth- er 111 miles power line.

The applications, all receiv- ed over a year ago, appear to meet the necessary require- ment,s the Premier said, and providing surveys show that these are still in effect, instal- lations will be cmnnlettxed, working from the western part of the Province towards the east.

DISTRICTS AFFECTED Acres for which installations are planned include: ,

quarters of Lebanon and rebel spokesmen declared the fighting will go on until Chamoun quits as president. Chamoun has ad- mitted the rebels dominate at least 25 per cent of the country.

Chamoun had predicted the rebels would begin an all-out drive against the government Thur-sday.

But as clashes continued spor- adically it seemed that the reb- els and the security forces were sparring to test each other’s de- fences.

Nurses Adopt

Pension Plan,

Name French-Speaking Head

OTTIAWIA (CP)—fl"he Canadian Nurses Association Friday adopted pension plans tor mem- bers, elected its first French- speaking pre sident and cel- ebrated its 50th birthday by awarding 15 honorary member- ships.

The week-long conven-tion, with more than 1,300 delegates from across Canada, ended Friday night with the delivery of the Agnes Snively Memorial Lecture.

The lecture, commemorating

nd the CIN"A’s first president, was

scheduled to be delivered by C. D. Shepard of Ottawa, chief

commissioner of the board of‘

transport commissioners, on be- half of its author, Dr. Stuart Stanbury of Toronto, national commissioner of the Red Cross, unable to attend because of ill- ness. >

Friday, Alice Girard of Mont- real, nursing director at St. Luke’s Hospital, was unani- mously elected president of the 45,000 - member CNA succeeding Trenna Hunter of Varlcouver.

Other oflficers include Helen Carpenter, Toronto, first vice- president; Electa Mac Lennau, Halifax, second vice - president, Hazel Heeler, Saskatoon, third vice-president.

Representatives of nursing sis- terhoods are Sister Mary Irene, Charlottetown, P.E.I.; Sister Mary Felicitas, Montreal; Sister Madeleine of J-esu-s, Ottawa and Sister Mary La.urent'ua, Moose Jaw, Sask.

The convention adopted the CNA’s first pension plans which will be offered to CNA members only and could cover self - em- ployed or hospital - employed I1l.lI‘SES.

Pearl Stiver, CNA general sec- retary, said the plans will be av- ailable to association nurse mem- bers anywhere a.nd are not ex- pected to conflict with existing pension plans available to nurses at their places of employment. The plans are similar to those of- fered registered doctors through the Canadian Medical Asso-

ence to assert the rebel National Fron~t’s claims.

Yafit said more than 300 Jor- danian and Iraqi troops in the uniforms of their own armies are fiighting for the Lebanese govern- ment. He said Jordatn, Iraq and Turkey are interfering in Leban- ese affalrs to aid Chamoun.

Ammon commented that the National Front wants to call UN observers’ attention to ev' cnce that the government is r iv-lug help from outside.

The government has charged the United Arab Republic is help- ing the Lebanese rebels by send- ing armed bars and supplies across the border from neighbor- ing Syria, now a UAR province.

Mr. Hamilton, giving details of the plan to the Commons com- mittee of mines, forests and wa- ters, said no agreements have been signed yet.

However, it is understood the federal government regards this as a formality. Under the plan, provinces can start approved pro- jects without waiting for signa- tures.

The minister said the figures listed l n di c a t e provinces will spend much more on roads than in the past. 1-'1‘-he. aim. was to ppenthe may to virgin resources; This did not apply to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, but the federal government had agreed to accept assistance to the tourist il1sdJll1S1Iz1'y in those two provinces as a criterion in detemniui-ng whether a particular road qualilf-ied.

But Province

OTTAWA (OP) - The federal cabinet Fr-idvay decided to help Nova Scotia coal employ- ment, but n-o-t with enough aid to stop currently - proposed mine layoflfns.

lnforman-ts estlrm-a~ted unodfi- cia-lly the help for Nova Scotia mines would be about $400,000 this year‘ from the federal treas- ury and $100,000 from the pro- vincial government.

However, authorities here said there was no certainty that Nova Scotia would kick in with the $100,000.

Prime Minister Diefenbaker announced the federal aid to the Commons Friday, malcing it clear that it will not stop the cur- rent series of mine shutdowns in- volving about 9.500 employees in Nova Scotia.

The prime minister said to the House that the federal govern- ment will help finance the Dom- inion Coal Company in maintain- ing its record stockpile, which it has found difficult to moving to markets.

The federal help will be in the. form of a new bookkeeping oper- ation. on a complex basis, that will enable the government here to throw more money into the coal subventioms, which normally run to about $9,000,000 3. year from the central treasury.

STAVES OFF CLOSURE-S
