period. was $25 million annually into the general assistance fund, and an additional $400,000.00 for technical assistance. Later, the plan was extended to June, 1961, and Canada's contribution to the general assistance fund’ was in- creased to $34 million, annually. Mr. MacNaught said that in these countries Canada has par- ticipated directly in 69 projects, many of them being of an electri- cal nature.
Describing one of these near the frontier of Russia; Mr. Mac- Naught described a 160,000 kilo- watt power development, which, with its resulting irrigation ad- vantages, has enabled the area to enjoy the advantage of elec- tricity, while at the same time enabling farmers to greatly in- crease their production of food. Describing a fisheries project which Canada had promoted in
Olscamp and members of the Summerside L e g i o n branch, sponsors of the Cadet organiza-
tion.
the Canadian development here had first overcome the traditional primitive fishing methods of the area, by providing modern traw- lers, refrigeration, and new meth- ods of fishing, with the result that production is much higher while the cost of fish is much lower.
Mr. MacNaught, in his opening remarks, pointed out that while he had spoken to the Summer- side Rotary on previous occasions this was the first time that he had spoken as a member of this club which he had recently join- ed. Mr. MacNaught was introduc- ed by Mr. Frank Daley, who was in charge of the program.
.During the business part of the meeting plans were made to con- sider a ladies night on February 25th, in recognition of the 53rd anniversary of R_otary.
The meeting yesterday was pre- sided over by the club president, R. L. Mollison, and guests in- cluded Ed McCabe, W. E. Mac- Callum, Charles Walker, all of Charlottetown, Wather Riehl and R. T. Briggs of Toronto and
this area, Mr. MacNaught said

Frosty weather Tuesday night enabled the rink management to put on their first floods in many days and an excellent sheet of ice is assured.
The All Stars is made up of the best players in O’Leary, Alberton .and Tignish and to- night’s contest will undoubtedly draw one of the best crowds of the season.

A series of unexplained inci- dents in connection with recent
. outbreaks of fire in the Town of
Summerside will be investigated by C.R. Plant, chief special agent of the Fire Underwriter’s of Can- ada, who is now in the Prince County Capital.
Mr. Plant will investigate par- ticularly the $500,000 fire that last Thursday wiped out the Mac- Estate block and the Brace MacK'Sy Building, as well as the two following threats to the Capitol theatre.
First incident was early Satur- day when an unexplained fire was extinguished by the sprinkler sys- tem. It started in refuse which had been standing 24 hours and to which no person had access. FLEES FROM ALARM
The secoi_id incident came Sun-

As another development rela-t- ed to recent fires here, a report to last night's annual meeting of council stated that recent chan- ges in facilities have increased the pumping capacity of the town water department.
WATER LEVEL UP
Councillor Edgar Cannon, in his report as ~‘.:airman of the water committee said there is now an altitude recording. installing a the reservoir tank which gives a con- tinuous recording. This chart, he said, revealed that when last Thursday's big fire broke out, the water in the reservoir tank was, at a height of 78 feet, and des- pite the use of up to eleven lines of fire hose, the lowest the wat- er level dropped was to 65 feet at 8 a.m. From that point the reservoir supply continued to gain steadily back to norm-al.
This showed recent changes in the pumping system have had a good effect on maintaining the
