of the Prince County Branch of the P. E. 1. Fish and Game As- sociation at the annual meeting

held last evening in the Civic Building, Summerside. Mr. Claude Harkness -was elected first vice president and Mr. Earl Hayes was re-elected secretary. One of the main items on last evening's agenda was a discus- sion regarding an open season on trout " and salmon all year round and after spirited argu- ment both for and against the idea. it was-decided on motion to invite an authority on trout fishing from the Biological Sta- tion at .Ellerslie to attend the next meeting to answer the many questions regarding this problem. ‘ Dissatisfaction with the results being obtained by the present game warden, for Prince County was voiced resulting inla motion to request his attendance at the

next meeting. Recommendations for improvements were approved by the meeting regarding Hun- ters Pond at Baltic. Recommendations requesting improvements for various fish- ing sites were approved by the meeting including Hunters Pond, Baltic, Morrisons Pond, Darnely, Dunk River and MacNally’s Stream, Egmont Bay. Some of these sites will necessitate in- vestigation to see if improve- ments are feasible.

' Also approved by the meeting were suggestions that signs be erected at. various fishing sites stating depth of stream, fishing season,-dates and other informa- tion especially of value to tour- ists. Also that the local board of trade be contacted regarding the erection of .a few picnic tables near fishing streams for the convenience of fishermen and their families while on a fishing trip.

Mr. Shaw in his remarks, wel- comed Mr. MacLean and express- ed appreciaion for his taking time from his heavy duties to address the meeting. He said he was

» pleased at seeing so many young

men in attendance, an indication of great interest in the work of the party. Mr. Shaw also stated that the party needs young peo- ple and that he was happy to see the formation of groups in the province who can play an impor- tant role in the Conservative Party.

The Honorable Mr. MacLean ex- pressed his pleasure at being able to meet with such a group

remarks he noted the re-awaken- ing of interest among the ‘youth of Canada in the political affairs of the nation.

ENCOURAGING SIGN

This is, he emphasized. a most encouraging sign, for the young «people of the country have a tre- mendous stake in its .future, and that there is a definite place for them in political affairs.

He noted that of ' sixty-five new Conservative Members of-. Parliament, thirty-five are un- der forty years of age.

Mr. MacLean also briefly re- viewe the accomplishments of the Diefenbaker Government, with particular ‘reference to its awareness and recognition of the special needs of_the Atlan- tic region, an admittedly for- gotten area under Liberal ad- ministration. _

The Beechwood Prolect. and the program for cheaper 9199‘ tric power in this area are equ- crete examples of steps_ being taken to bring the Atlantic Pro- vinces into line _w1t‘h the rest of Canada he said. The recent increase in the_ Old Age Secur- ity program IS of particular benefit to this area he added.

TIGNISH HIGH

Teachers and pupils are back to school again after a wonderful holiday. We are settled down to hard study for the last half of the school term and hope to be able to keep our New Year's Re- solutions. Grade XII are now preparing for semi-final examina- tions which begin on January 23.

A New Year’s social was held in the High School on the even- ing of January 10. In the tastily decorated auditorium High School pupils, parents, and guests great- ly enjoyed the entertainment. The surprise of the evening was the arrival by means of Sputnik of jolly old Santa Clause (perhaps slightly out of season) who, al- though he had no toys left, treated his audience to candy.

We wish to extend a sincere vote of thanks to the chaperones, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph MacDonald, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard -Harper, and Mr. and Mrs. Arsene Gallant, who made our evening possible.

Dancing Lessons Prove Popular With Students

Dancing lessons have been re- sumed and all senior high stu- dents are actively taking part in them. .

DEBATE DEBATE

Why do we find some Grade XI pupils spending every spare moment in the library of late? Could it be that they are pre- paring a debate? If so, we are surley looking forward to hear- ing it.

The March of Dimes cards have arrived for each classroom, and we are beginning to contribute as many dimes as possible in order to help the poor polio vic- tims.

The pupils seem to be working earnestly to make the remainder of the school year show the de- sired results of intellectual toil. We hope the New Year of 1958 will bring us much success and satisfaction as we do our best in all scholastic endeavors.

OTTAWA (CP) — The defence department spent $6,000,000 on an electronic trainer project which was abandoned, Auditor - General Watson Sellaindisclosed Wednesr day.

His audit of public accounts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1957, was tabled in the Commons by Finance Minister Donald Flem- mg.

Mr. Sellar cited the case of the trainer for the joint Maritime. Warfare School at Halifax as an example of projects which are abandoned a f t e r considerable work and expense.

The trainer was to provide trainin for personnel in tactical operations involving aircraft car- riers, planes, submarines and sur- face ships.

Original cost was estimated in 1952 at $2,818,000. By 1956, the es- timate had been “materially ex- ceeded." The Defence Research Board was called in.

It engaged experts who calcu- lated the total cost would be be- tween $16,000,000 and $19,000,000. The project was abandoned af- ter speiidinz $5,000,000, including $70,000 for a building to house the trainer. .

QUESTION 27 DEALS

Mr. Sellar questioned 27 other government f i n a n cial transac- tions.

But he - a d d e d: “Generally speaking, it ‘was found that ac- counts were being faithfully and properly kept.” some of the irregularities:

1. The works department paid an architect $48,675 for profes- sional services in October, 1956, although the ..architect_ had died the previous July. The money was subsequently paid to the arch- itect’s firm but no release was obtained from the deceased’s es- tate.

2. A foreign service officer in the external affairs department was granted 18 weeks’ sick leave with pay though he had resigned from government service. Mr. Sel- lar said: “It is generally ac- cepted that (sick) leave may be granted only when it may reason- ably be regarded that the civil

servant will return to duty upon recovery."

- 3. An employee of the agricul- ture department was paid be- tween $1,259 and $1,659 annually for four years but $600 of the an- nual payment was classed as casual earnings so that the em- ployee could qualify for war vet- erans allowances.

4. The Queen’s Printer paid $5,730 for some supplies ordered from two commercial firms for the post office, which protested the billing as unreasonably high. The Queen’s Printer then calcu- lated it could have done the work itself for $2,856 less.

5., The works department spent $188,000 on retaining walls on La Petite Decharge River at St. Joseph d’Alma, Que., though the work was not required to protect any government building or to aid navigation, as required under Pai-liament’s appropriation.

6. Ap p r o x i mately $5,170,000 worth "of construction work was’ awarded at Camp Gagetown,

7. A shipbuilder was paid more

than 80 per cent of the $119,200 contract price for a small naval vessel although less than 50 per cent of the work was completed. The contract was cancelled and the defence department took pos- session of the uncompleted ship 8. A $4,521 claim was paid a French national injured on a road in France by an army vehicle driven by a Canadian soldier who had taken the vehicle without per- mission. -The Crown levy against the soldier was limited to $31 spent repairing the vehicle. WHARF COLLAPSES ‘ 9.. Nearly $343.0W was spent on . a wharf extension at Riviere - du - Loup, Que., which collapsed because the original design. was prepared without sufficient soil test data. 10. The government spent $75,- 000 out of the fund for the cars of sick mariners for medical serv- ices for the crews of government- owned ships though it had not contributed to the fund. The fund is provided under the Canada Shipping Act by levies on ship- ping-

and two apartments. _ Cause of the blaze was not im-

’ mediately lilnow and damage esti-

mate was not available.

CHARGE T0 JURY

In his charge to the jury, Mr. Justice Tweedy reminded them of the “very important service” they were required to perform in the administration of Justice. Their duty was two-fold His Lord- ship said: first, the determination of.the guilt or innocence of the accused; and secondly, the pro- tection of the public, whom they represented.

“Laws are made to reduce the law of the jungle to civilization and regulate public action,” His Lordship said, adding that “cri- minal law regulates the actions of people, one to another.”

I-Ie pointed out to the jurors that a criminal case was not a contest between persons, not a fight for conviction on the part of the prosecution, nor a fight for acquittal on the part of the de- fense, but that its purpose was "‘to investigate the charge and determine whether it was true or false.”

After interpreting the law as it applied in this case Mr. Justice Tweedy told the jury that, de- pending on their interpretation of the facts, there were several al- ternatives open to them; they might find the accused guilty or not guilty; they might acquit him; or they might find him guilty of the lesser charge of assault.

The Petit Jury, selected yester- day to hear the case were: Louis Sherren, Foreman; Page Nunn; Samuel Walker; George Dunsford; Elmer Bulman; Gor- don MacKinnon; Lorne Doch- erty; John Grimes Jr.; Leo M. Doyle; Fulton Willis; Thomas Devereau; and Leith Reid.

Alberton Has Third Service

The third Week of Prayer ser-

lesson. The praise was led by an assembled choir with Mrs.

Hubert Campbell as organist. The subject of the sermon, preached by Mr. Dunlop, was “What man could not do, God did.” We perceive mate rial things by our senses but spiritual things cannot be seen nor touch- ed. The spiritual world is just as real as the material one but it needs the aid of material things to express itself. God uses symbols to express himself. The great drama of the ages began before the creation with God himself and has been unfolding through all the years. In Christ he came to the earth to recon- cile men to himself. What is our response to the love of God so wonderfully expressed? He wants to be crowned king of our hearts, our homes, our nation. Are we going to be found on Christ's side?
