Year's Political Activity Ties InWith Celebration

By DON MacLEOD Political activity in the prov- hice during the past year was . pretty well tied in with Centen- nial celebrations. As Premier Walter R. Shaw put it “we have passed throug‘r a year of great historic signifi-

cance.

Highlight of the year. of course. was the visit of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip during which Her Majesty open- ed officially the Fathers of Con-

eration Memorial Building in Charlottetown. .

Another highlight was the Sep- tember lst meeting of the Can- adian premiers and Prime Min- ister Lester Pearson in Charlot- tetown when the 1864 meeting of the Fathers of Confederation was commemorat .

This meeting also resulted in a decision 10 repatriate the Can- adian constitution.

A sidelight of the meeting was New Brunswick Premier Robi- chaud’s suggestion of Atlantic Union. While little interest was evident at the time in the sug- gestion by other Atlantic prem- iers, Nova Scotla’s Premier Stanfield announced that study of the proposal will be made and it is certain that the legislatures of this province and Newfoundland will discuss un-

Premier Shaw said "these gath- erings will go down as an his- toric ending to a cent progress and the beginning of another century of equal signi- ficance.”

While Centennial celebration participation took a great dea of government time. the nor- mal business of government had to go on.

An early legislative session saw some important acts pass- ed and amendments to two acts created controversy. CREATES STORM

Premier Shaw says his gov- ernment is developing the basic assets of the province. "Deficit financing that rovides money for industrial development and a balanced economy can be per- fectly justified." premier added that Liberal spending did not develop basic assets and for that reason its eficits were not justified.

Mr. Matheson predicted a fall election. This was immediately discounted by the premier who said “Mr. atheson’s crystal ball suffers from refractory ten- dencies."

Physical evidence of govern- ment activiity can be seen in construction.
