CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH Y.P.S. - The Central Christian Church Young People held their regular meeting last night in the church hall with a splendid attend- ance.

With regard to widening of the Fire Station doors. he stated that under present conditions the new trucks are hard to get out and the narrow doors. opening outwards, lnterefere with equiti- menr coming out and also with pedestrians on the sidewalk.

Captain Connolly in his report urged that a portable generating plant with a large spot llsht be supplied the company to facilitate the placing of ladders at night fires.

I Work Hamper-ed

"Our work is seriously hump-' ered at. larger fires particularly and in some other instances 35 for example at the Rcddin fire when the members had to work in uI.IVE darkness in the backyard of the Reddln bul1dl"ls'-

"In many cases it is extremely difficult to handle the larger and longer ladders with the ever pres- ent danger of overhead wires. some of which are carfymi PPGWY Nth voltage and constitute a grave men- ace to the safety of the members of the ocmpany now that our truck is completely equipped with alum- inium ladders.

"it should not be I eoessaiy to point out that these ladders. wlille

and handling are ooncemed. are also first class conductors of elec- trical curicnt. It is true that w'5 now have small lights. both perm- anent ones on the truck and small portable hand lamps which DNVW9 light for smaller working areas.

"These lights do not however have sufficient power to light up for example, the entire face or upper portion oi a building where possibly several ladders may be used in get- ting a fire under control or. per- haps. the more important work as the raouee of human belncs from an ondangeccd " . ... ...,, He also pointed out the need for a life not for use at fires occurring in buildings where many persons may be working or in living quart- ers or in places where present lad- ders may prove inadequate.

"As we have pointed out in pre- vious reports there are several structures in our city where many people are concentratcd in a high building and it is dcubtful if our longest ladders are capable reaching the upper stories." he

stated. "fit attendance marks are to be

P. E. I. Orphanage Has A Highly Successful Year

At the January meeting of the Trustee Board of the Protestant Orphanage held on Tuesday, the 16th, Mrs. H. 8. Henderson pre-

sented the Financial Report for the Year 1950. This was her 24th. consecutive

report and it was a very compre- hensive one, covering all phases of Orphanage Finances.

Total Maintenance reached an all-time high of :20,- 090.48, while 31,599.89 was received from Estates and placed in the Endowment Fund.

Before presenting her report, Mrs. Henderson expressed grati- tude for the way the orphanage work had been blessed; gratitude too; to the ever-generoiu people oi our Island Province and the many outstanding workers who give freely of their tune and en- ergy.

Mr. W. A. Stewart. owing to illness. was unable to be present as Chairman, and Mrs. Henderson. Vice-Chairman, presided.

A fitting tribute was paid to the late Mr. Heath Strong, K. C.. of summerside, who had passed away since the last meeting of the board. by all standing and ob- serving ii. prayerful silence in his memory. He had for many years been is faithful and valued mem- ber of the trustee board.

....M.-...-:-a---- improved we must do away with the present fire ball which under the best of conditions can not be heard indoors mcre than one block from the Fire station in all directions." stated Captain G.W. Stewart in his report.

Need of Air Horn

"This bell should be replaced by an air horn which can be automat- ically operated by the engineer on duty in the Fire Hall and can be heard mil over the City. Too much confusion is caused by ringing the fire belt for pusvpcses other than fires. such as the nine o'clock cur- few and funerals.

"Also when there in a. fire the ringing of the bell is very unsat- isfactory as members complain that. the bell is not rung long enough. On many occasions the bell is not rung until quite some time after the call has been received at the fire

being first class as far as welshfa hall

"one particular instance of this was the Reddin Drug fire for which the hell did not ring until some ten or fifteen minutes after t,l1e,ap- paratus was at the fire which loft us very short of men when we need- ed them on the spot quiokly. An auutomatir air horn would eliminate all the above complaints and bet- er cur attendance at fires.

"Also much fault is found with the individual house and place of business alarms. The biggest trouble here is service work on the part of the Telephcne Company who are

sibtc-for the -maintenance of the system. litany alarms go out of commission after every wind storm and in some cases it is weeks before these bells are put back to work- ing order again."

He also pointed out the need for I flcod light system stating: "This equipment has been asked for in the past with no success. It is stan- dard equipment in all departments today and its addition to this de- parunent would certainly be of great advantage In fighting fires in some of the very dark areas at the roar-def our business pregnises in the City.” . '

The secretary's right. presented by Mr. LG. oineap mowed that the Department responded to is? alarms during the year. rs were general alarms and the iumsirider still alarms. of the lfl alarms an- swered as were outside the lofty limits. The Department had a. bank balance of sues in the Canadian Sank of commerce. he stated.

President clay Outlines Farm conference Problems.-

The following report of Presl-' dent H. lit. Clay was read at the opening of the Provincial Agri- cultural Conference at Birch: Court on Tuesday. Though unable. to preside at the conference due: to his recent illness. Mr. Clay' prepared the following outline in. place of the more detailed reportl which he had intended to present.' "Looking back over the thong-l ed situations which have orlglnat-' ed during the past few years, I feel that Maritime Agriculture,l and particularly 9. a. 1.

More livestock and livestock products would go a long way to solve many of our market- ing problems.

"The limiting factor in the pro- duction of more livestock is the availability of feed grains. Here again increased ilreight rates may make the cost at imported grain prohibitive. we do not know from one year to the next when the pre- sent freight assistance policy of the Federal Government may be discontinued.

cent years, the inaln topic is mal'- ket-ing and little but marketing. in many cases. the discussions centre around the demand for governmental assistance to lift our farmers out of the hole into which they have dug themselves by misdirected production. "Finalv, I would suggest that this conference give consideration to our present methods of selling the available information to the fzii-mor who can use it. Have we not, in recent years, adopted the practice: 'Come and get. it' in- stead of: tWe will take it to you?' Years ago, we used to hold region- al short courses which lasted a week in each centre. i. believe we lost. a. very useful line of contact when these short courses were dropped. Let us adopt. a little more aggressivestand in preventing our agricultural ills rather than wait- ing for the patient to become stricken and then attempting to

producers. 'l'o escape this possibil-' ity we should encourage greater production of home grown grain. This might not call for any great increase in acreage. I believe that an increase in yield of five bush- els per acre would go a long way to make this province self-suffic-I lent for livestock feed grain.

The chairman of the Boardof Trustees Mr. N. D. MacLean presided.

The annual meeting was ad- vanced from the month of May to February and the date of the re- tircment. of the retiring trustees was advanced to February meet- ings. Thc annual meeting this year will be liclcl on February 22 in ll classroom of the Nursing School.

Home Grain Production

"This Province has made won- derful strides in the cultural methods and in the control of diseases of potatoes. our farmers are very conscious of seed potato quality. Perhaps the time has or- rived for this conference to give serious consideration to the cul- tural methods, the diseases, and the seed quality of our home grown grains. A ftraction of the effort and the publicity which in past years has been given to pc- tatoes lf now directed to home grain production might help to
