Says Mild Weather Has Saved Gov'I' 100,000

"The mildest winter in half a century has brought substantial savings to municipal and pro- vincial governments here, it was learned last evening Hon. George MacKay, Minister of Highways, said _that thus’ far this season the Department has saved ap- proximately $100,000 on snow fighting compared with other winters when normal snow fall and snowstorms were in evid- ence.

From City Hall it was learned that there has been a saving of some eight thousand dollars to dollar:-: to date. Indeed the new snow blower which was pur- chased late last year has never been tried out. And the first snowfall is awaited so that the man, or men, who will operate It here can receive instructions

. The annual meeting of the par-

ishioners of St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Charlottetown, was held /on Monday night, January 20, in accordance with the- Canons of the church which require the meeting to be held on the third Monday of January each year.

In opening the meeting, Rev. Canon J. T. Ibbott expressed his pleasure at seeing such a large number present, which gave evi- dence of the strong interest in of- fairs of the parish. Enlarging upon his report given in the year book, Canon Ibbott pointed out the impossibility ofputting into it all he wished to put with a feeling of thankfulness and thanksgiving to God, he noted the splendid accomplishments of both organizations and indivi- duals in the work of the church during the past year.

He spoke of the greater effort which would have to be put forth by the congregation during this year in sharing the responsibility for preparations and successful carrying out of arrangements for- tlie meeting of the Diocesan Synod of Nova Scotia to be held in Charlottetown on JIJ.l1e/ 3rd, 4th and 5th. A Great Service of

from the company that sold it.

The agreement was that as soon as the first snowstorm ar- rived the com-pany would send a man to instruct the City em- ployees in handling the machine.

Yesterday Warren Burns, of- ficial weather observer at the Experimental farm, stated that this season is the mildest since records were kept and that goes back 48 years. He added the suggestion that it may well be the mildest for a good deal longer time, although there are no records on which to base an officia comparison.

During t e months of Novem- ber, December and to the pre- sent date in January, the Pro- vince had experienced only 13.5 inches -of snow. The lowest snow-

fall to this was in 1952-53 when

L, this being the first time since the forming of the diocese that synod will have met outside of Halifax” Upwards of 200 clergy will be present besides many lay repre- sentatives. Canon Ibbott ex- pressed before the meeting his appreciation of the kind action of the board of directors of the Y. M. _C. A. in so generously making the facilities of the “Y” available for the accommodation of_ the large crowds expected to be present at the various meet- ings and services.

The names of those members of the congregation who passed to their eternal rest during 1957 were called to the‘ attention of the meeting and a memorial prayer offered by Canon Ibbott. Special‘ mention was made of the loss of Mr. H. E. Miller who gave unstintingly of his time and talent to the church, putting‘ much. extra effort into the or- ganizing and conducting of the. King’s C_ o l l e g e Development Campaign.

27 inches fell.

According to Exit timental Farm records, the greatest snowfall on the Island was ex-

perienced during 1933-34 when 163 1-4 inches fell during the season. The lowest for any sea- son was in 1952-53 when 50 1-2 inches was recorded.

Compared with January. of last year the mean temperéture during t=his month is twice as high.

Farm experts express the fear that the continuous freezing and thawing without a blanket of snow could cause serious dam- age to forage crops such as al- falfa and clover. The top roots of the plants are broken by the heaving of the ground and the plant as a result dies.

Vestry, after much careful con- sideration, had engaged the ser- vices of the Wells Organization to conduct a “Stewardship Campaign” in the parish. The matter was discussed at length and the meeting carried a mo- tion endorsing the action of the Vestry. Our campaign is to be

interesting» note was injected by the reading of a letter from the Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia, Right Reverend R. Harold Waterman, in which he express- ed his good wishes for success in our campaign and pointed out that the Wells Organization and their methods had met with the wholehearted approval of the House of Bishops of Canada and most successful campaigns had been conducted by many Angli- can Churches and others through- out Canada.

Falls, Newfoundland, who has recently taken up residence here, also gave an interesting account of his experience as chairman of a Wells campaign carried on. some years ago in hislhome par- L811. 1

Retiring churchwarden, A. G. Hogan, as chairman of the prop- erty committee reported that with the repairs to the entrance steps of the parish hall and others of a minor nature, the church property was thought to. be in good condition. No capital expenditures were foreseen for

sinking fund should be establish- ed, if possible, to take care of repairs that would be necessary from time to time or any expen- ditures of a capital‘ nature which might arise.‘

Churchwarden A. J. Haslam as treasurer ably presented the financial statement, explaining many of the figures appearing therein, giving comparative fig- ures for the preceding year. It was observed that while there was an increase in overall rec- eipts, so also was’ there a com- parative increase in expenses. He called "attention to a new fund known as the, “Memorial Fund" which‘ had been created by an initial donation by Miss Helen Hobkirk in memory of

“John F. Hobkirk. This fund was“

open for the receiving of special donations from any who wished to contribute and was not a trust fund but was to be used for maintenance and general admin- istration of the church. REPORTS ADOPTED

Hon. Dougald MacKinnon. Min- ister of Industry and Natural

er last night at the Burns An- niversary dinner of the Centen- ial Y’s Men’s Club. He said the poetry of Burns captured the imagination of the common man who has been in a large measure in continuing the traditions which mark his an- niversary each year.

The guest speaker said that the Scots not only have a great love for Burns but also a sub- lime love for the land of their birth, and for liberty and free- dom which was temporarily lost

y them at the Battle of Cul- odenz with hardship and much bloodshed.

The Scots, he emphasized, are not a proud and superior race but a humble people loving their homeland.

Hon. Mr. MacKinnon was piped in by Bruce MacLaren and was thanked for his address by Dean Read.

Clarence Maclnnis led the group in a Scottish sing song Miss Marilyn MacDougall, daughter of Y,’s Man ‘George MacDougall, danced the‘ High- land Fling and the Sword Dance.

In a civil action completed be- fore- Mr. Justice Mark R. Mac- Guigan in the Queens Assizes of the Supreme Court last evening, the Civil Jury found for the de- fendant, James MacPhail of Argyle Shore, awarding him dam- ages in the sum of $1,194.35.

Mr. R.R. Bell, Q.C., and Mr. Gilbert Gaudet represented the defendant, while Mr. J. O. C. Campbell, Q.C. appeared for the plaintiff.

Blame for the vehicle collision out of which the case arose was placed by the Jury on the plain- tiffs, William G. and Alice C. Barnhill of Truro, N.S., who, in the ‘ words of the verdict, failed to keep a proper outlook for traf- fic, did not maintain proper con- trol of the vehicle. and were driv-
