Simpler Life Is White House Rule
WASHINGTON, March 20-In a sitting room of the White House. long reserved to family intimacy, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, knitt- lng as she chatted today, was piled press questions on .Whlte House days and ways.
She announced a simpler social programme. Mrs. Roosevelt said that with the co-operation of the “Cabinet wires group."_whleh in- cudes the Vice-President's wife, Mrs. John Garner, she was ruling out formal social affairs until au- tumn.
“Because of the conditions at the present time, we" decided none of us cared to have any more formal social things than ivere ab- solutely necessary,” said Mrs. Roosevelt. "We all felt this cer- tainly ls not a. time when much money should be spent on purely social show. '
“We all realize that people have to see each other and get to know each other, but we decided that, as far as formal social things were coueerilcfl, we would do as little as possible."
And instead of some formal re- ception to the Cabinet wives, they can come to see her any day at af- ternoon teal That five o'clock hour is one of the fairly stationary things in Mrs. Roosevelt's schedule. So is breakfast of orange juice, toast and coffee at 8.30, which will follaw a horseback ride when her horses tllTlVC. >

But a fresh water race is better than no race at. all, in Captain Ben's opinion, and unless ‘it is cer- tain Blucnose will return from the Chicago World's Fail‘ in time for n contest, he would be willing to have the flecision contest in the long standing rivalry between the Canadian and American schoorieis sailed off Lukeshore drive.
“I'll race anywhere Angus will," Captain Pine said today.
Insurance companies today add- ed their voices to the race talk which has stirred Gloucester since the prospect of an Intematlonal flshcrmeifs contest on Luke Michi- gan was raised a few days ago. They made lt plain they believed a trip up the St. Lawrence waterway a hazardous risk from an under-

L. O. SADLER. DIES 1N HOSPIT- AL AFTER. EXTENDED ILLNESS
(Galas. Maine, Exchange)
The death of Lindsay 0- Sadler, long a leading figure in the busi- ness life of Calais and St. Step- hen, occurred at chipinnn Memor- ial Hospital early Sunday morn- ing as theresut of an illness ex- tending over a period of several months, His couditon became very grave early last week and on Tues- day he was removed to hospital, where he lingered five days before death clauncd him at 1.30 a. m. Sunday. He would have passed his sixty-sixth birthday March 26.
Mr. Sadler was a native of Coop- er, Maine, but left his home coin- munity as a. young man to g0 to Boston, where he spent a. number of years. Returning t6 hs native state, he established a general store at Meddybemps which he conducted successfully for some three years later removing to Cal- ais to open a meat market. Short.- ly afterwards he became interest- cd in the Calais Tanning Company and later took over the concern, which became his major interest. For 15 years he devoted his filter- ests to the hide and wool business, closng the old tanning plant at the Lower Wharf and transferring the machinery to the Pike building at the foot of North Street, Calais, but when markets fell off in 1915 to such an extent that the under- taking was no longer profitable he established the coal dealing oom- lJuny of Sadler and McCormick, handling ‘coal on both sides of the st. Crolx. He retained an actvc in- tcrest in this business until a few days before his removal to hos- pltal. For most of his life he resided fn Calais. but two years ago he re- moved to st.

U. S. President Faces Heavy Legislation In Emergency P r o g r a. m m e.
(By Francis M. Stephenson, Asso- ciated Press Staff Writer)
WASHINGTON, March 17—A programme of immediate action to complete the "new deal" legislative ideas of President Franklin Roose- velt by May 1 was agreed upon to- day by the President and Congres- sional leaders.
Original plans for a Congression- al recess after the emergency ses- sion have been abandoned in favor of the continuous meeting.
Railroads, banking and a. huge unempl ‘ylllbllb relief plan head the list: of legislation the President will submit in the near future. These prlposals will go along as soon as the emergency measures on farm relief and unemployment are enacted.
A start was made today On the railroad legislation with the intro- duction of a far reaching bill by Chairman Rayburn of the House of Representatives Interstate Commit- tee to regulate railfoad holding companies and motor truck trans- portation and. to consolidate the power and radio commissions into u Commission on Communications.
The last of the Roosevelt emer- gency proposals-authorization of a broad reforestation plan expected to give jobs to about. 200,000 meri- will go up to Congress early next week. After that he will keep going with his permanent programme.
The new calendar of business calls for conclusion of Congression- al work by the end of April or the first of May and an adjournment until the regular session next January. No consideration has yet been given by the President to new taxes, pending a. study of the new income tax returns now coming in- to the Treasury. He expects big savings through reorganization and slashes in veterans compensations and government salaries provided in the Economy Blll, already ap- proved by Congress.
The injured man thumped his crutch on the ground as he con- fronted hls lawyer.
Heavens, man! he exclaimed You are taking four-fifths of my damages. I never heard of such ex- tortion.
The lawyer smiled.
I furnished the skill, the elo- quence and the necessary legal learning for your case, he replied eooly.
Yes. said the client. but I fur- nished the case itself,
Bosh, said the lawyer. Anybody could fall down a. coal-hole!

Prtwltlttlll} Roosevelt ls Ready To Sign Bill. Quick 00m- promise Expected.
WASHINTON, ivmcii 1'i'-(A.P.> _with the United States House of Representves insisting on 3.2 per cent beer and the Senate standing for an alcoholic limitation of 3.05 by weight, the Cullen Beer Bill to- flight; was in the imnfcrenceistuge with a. quick compromise predict- ed. ‘ Northlng could be done formal- ly until Monday. because the Sen- ate was in adjournament until then. and had yet to appoint its conference managers. ' However, action was planned that would get the measure to the White House by Monday night-
Presldent Franklin Roosevelt ls ready to sign the Bill at once. Fif- teen days after his signature is placed upon it, the measure will become operative. The estimated Federal revenue from the bill's tux of flvc dollars e. barrel ls $150,000,- 000 a. year.
In addition to the difference on alcoholic content. disagreements on two other Senate amendments ‘must be composed. The first of these would prohibit sale of the legalized beverage to persons under 16. The second would legalize wine of 3.05 Alcoholic content. Cal- ifornia's vintnerii have raised stren- uous objection to the latter con- tending the production of such wine is unfeusable.
To expedite matters a plan was in the making for the House con- ferees already designated by Speaker Henry T. Rainey, to meet informally over the week-end with Senators who will be formally ap-
pointed to the conference on Mon- day. '
In that way an agreement could. be worked out and voted upon im- mediately after the Senatorial conferees have been named. Be- hind this plan was representative Cullen, New York Democrat. the author of the bill. l

Annual Report Tab- 1.e_,d Friday By Hon. Mr. Sharp.
A major portion of the current year's Read Tax was paid last sen- son in statute labour and u large amount of outstanding arrears of Road Tax was also paid 1n this manner, according to the annual report of the Provincial Department of Public Works and Highways, tabled yesterday in the Legislature by the Hon. G. Shelton Sharp.
During the last session, the report states, a. number of amendments were made to the Road Act. The appointing of the winter overseen: by the highway superintendents was deferred until the first day of De- cembe , it being felt that ds the winter overseers have no- authority under the Act in the matter of highway expenditures. any confusion in this regard would ne overcome by withholding their appointment until the season's work had been completed.
Persons desiring to perform lab- our in lieu o! Road Tax may now do so by giving notice in writing. not later than May 1st, to the tax collector for their district, and not to the highway superintendent as was formerly the case. The tax collector in turn, however, gives the list of names to the highway super- intendent. This change was made for the better convenience of per- sons desiring to make application for work. '1
The additions made to the road- maklng equipment of the Depart- ment last season consisted ofitwo 30 H. P. Caterpillar Tractors and 25 H. P. Caterpillar Tractor, one No. 8 Adams Grader, three Adam! Planers and one Robb Planer, also one Sawyer Massey Power Maln- tainer. The purchase of this ma- chinery provided additional equip- ment for maintenance purposes and made it possible to scrap two more of the Foi-dson One-Man Graders which were worn out.
Highway Construction And Maln- tenance
As soon as weather conditions were favourable in the sprlnfl. Drac- tlcally all of the Department's high- way equipment was put in opera- tlon.
The eleven heavier units each consisting of a caterpillar tractor with suitable grader attached re- constructed and widened 289 miles of road. These roads for the most part have a. width of from 30 to 35 feet from ditch to ditch and their construction required much heavy work, which gave these machines a severe test. The heaviest of the work was done by the 60 H. P. ca- terpillar unit which widened out the hilly section of the Malpeque Road from Hazel Grove to Milton.
The divisional or lighter machines regraded 505 miles of road which work consisted mainly of ditching and reshaping roads which had been bruit in previous years.
The potato graders both heavy and light used for maintenance pur- poses ‘ gether with the power maln- talners covered about 8.850 miles of road in scraping and dragging. In addition to this. 7,030 miles were dragged with split-log drags drawn by horses and trucks. This would indicate an average of over four times dragging all the roads throughout the season but the main roads were dragged much oftener than this, while the secondary roads received less attention.
Rotary dump-scoops drawn by the Heavy Tractors were used to ad- vantage in making fills on many of the roads graded by the large mu- chines. There were also other fills totalling 13 miles in length made by use of horses and carts, over numerous low places throughout the Province. All of these fills were properly ditched with suitable tap drains made to keep them well drained.
Li rmd Surfuln:
The project of laying concrete pavement on the approaches of tho Hlllsborough Bridge, which was be- gun in the fall of 1931, was carried on to completion in the early part of last summer. The work done this past season consisted in laying 1,- 375 lineal feet of pavement 12 feet in width on the east side of the ap- proach on the Charlottetown aide. 1n the Southport aide there were hid 830 lineal feet 14% feet in width on each aide of the railway truck. At Mutchb Comer in South- port there were also laid 163 feet of pavement. This work was done by day's labour under the Flederll Aid Grant for the Relief of Unemploy- ment. V

the finishing of the concrete pcvé- ment in the town of Montague and the repairing of the streets 1n the town of Bouria; » I A very small gravelling pro- gramme was undertaken by ‘the De- partment last sbason, the main sec- tions mapped out for gruvelllnz be- ing the newly built portions of the Malpeque Road between Hazel Grove and Milton and of the Western Road between Sprinzhlll and North En- mom and in Misoouche. However, in different sections o! the Pro- vince where local material was available, quantities of gravel were hauled on sections of newly ma- chined roads and on low lying sec- tions which would otherwise give trouble. A considerable amount of this gravelllng or surfacing with 1o- cal material was done by persons performing labour in lieu cf taxes. In all, there was a total of 40 miles of road surfaced with pit and shore material in the various districts throughout the Province. l ‘ To make local pit gravel available for shipping for concrete and road surfacing purposes, the Warren Pav- ing Company installed a shovel and a. crushing, screening and washing plant at Conway. A quantity of this gravel was shipped to the central and eastern sections of the province for road surfacing purposes.
Bridges and Culverts
Tenders were called and contracts let for the supplying of a. number of steel bridges. As a. result, seven new steel bridges were purchased early in the season and erected at the following phloem-North Gran- ville,‘ Elliot's, hnstonb River, Mount Stewart, Montague, Heather- dale and Arinadale. The total num- ber of steel bridges now 1n the Pro- vince is 131. '
During the winter a. quantity of bridge material was ,,‘ consist- ing of poles and sewn lumber. 1111s material was purchased with a. view to giving employ u‘. as well as to have it delivered on the various sites for use in the early spring.
The policy of yearly renewing a number of wooden bridges ‘ ‘ , openings of from 4 to 20 feet with reinforced concrete culverts or con- crete aleb bridges supported on creosote piles was continued and 10 of.’ these structures were built, mak- ing a. total of 747 new 1n the Pro- vince. »
The smaller wooden culverts with a. span up to 4 feet are being grad- ually replaced with corrugated iron pipes of which there were 240 plac- ed last season, the total number now installed being 3,348. A number of these iron culverts up to' 6 feet in diameter were used in places where formerly a small concrete culvert would have been built.
In addition to these new concrete and steel bridges and culverts, it was necessary to rebuild 85 of the larger bridges and 3111 of the amal- ler ones with wood and to make re- pairs to 153 of the larger and 849 of the smaller bridges.

Special reference is made in the report to the rebuilding of Prince of Wales College which opened for oc- cupation last January:
In the rebuilding of the Falcon- wood Hospital it was decided to re- tain the present site.

A quantity of washed gravel ob- tained from the plant at Conway was delivered at the site ready for use when required. Plans and spec- ifications for the newHospital pre- pared by Architect C. A. Fowler, of Halifax, are at present being taken into consideration by the building committee.
Repairs which were begun in the full of 1931 to the Court House and Jail at Georgetown were completed and a new heavy wire guard fence 8 feet in height was placed around the Queen's County Jail.
