The car was being fined with gasoline at the filling station of Mr. James Harris at the tine when suddenly an ex- ploslon occurred. Apparently there was a leak in the gasoline tank and either someone threw a lighted match nearby or a mark from the exhaust ignited the spill- ed fuel. No one wa's injured ex- cept the owner of thg car. Mr. MacLean MacDonald. formerly of Murray liar-hour, who had one arm slightly burned.

S'side legion Band Plans - first Practice '

The fig: practice for Summer- aide‘: n Legion Band will be held on Wednesday and Mr. John Leuiy has been appointed band master, it was reported at the regular monthly meeting of Sum- mers de branch. Canadian Legion held ast evening with the pre- sident, Mr. Earle Cannon in the chair.

The report for the band com- mittee was given by Mr. R. L. Mollison who also said that Mr. Ulric Drapeau has been appointed assistant band ‘master. The presi- dent, Mr. Cannon was appointed the official delegate to the com- ing Dominion convention in Win- nipeg.

The meeting voted the sum of $25.00 as a donation to the Red Cross in the coming drive and the sum of $3.00 as a donation to the Legion branch in MacLennen. Alta. Mr. Hayden Dixon for the entertainment committee reported that the sum of $486.00 had been raised at the recent Legion jam- boree and turned over to the Canadian March of Dimes Fund.

The matter of the possible loss of the electric light contract for the Summerelde airport was dis- cussed and concern was felt by’ the meeting at what this would mean in loss of revenue to the town. The chairman of the reso- lutions committee, Mr. R. L. Mol- llson. wag empowered to discuss the matter with the Town Coun- cil and draw up a suitable reso- lution to be submitted to a spec- ial meeting of the executive to be called for that purpose.

A resolution to be sent to the Provincial Comma},-' was used asking that Provincial Gcver ment employees be included in the un- employment insurance scheme as many ‘of them are part time work- ers on the roads and in the win- ter when they are laid off they cannot drew unemployment in- aurence.

‘ other resolution, this one for the It ‘ ' Command. was pass- ed asking the Federal Department of Fisheries to repeal the dis- crimlnstory regulations whereby Island fishermen are not allowed to fish salmon in the waters sur- rounding the Province while fishermen of other Provinces may engage in such fiahlng.—~S.

Consideration of lummersidrs cuo for the retention of the elec- tric power contract in connection with the R.C.A.F. Station was promised by‘ Defence Minister Brooke Cloxton to a delegation from the- Town of Surnmsraide, it was learned from Mayor Henry Wedge on his return from Ottawa last night. .

Mayor Wedge was accompanied to Ottawa by Councillors '1‘. D. Morrison and J. Lorne Drlrcoll. both of whom returned on Satur- day. Mayor Wedge said that an appointment with the Minister was arranged by Mr. J. Watson MecNsught, member of Parliament for this constituency, who also introduced the members of the delegation to the Minister at the meeting.

A brief outlining the history of "'9 ¢ll€..showlnz that Summer- slde has supplied power to the llfllort for the past ten years without serious complaint and has. with. the knowledge of the Defence Department, embarked on a capital expenditure of $150.0iX).W to be able to continue this aer- vlce, was submitted to Mr. Clnx- ton before the meeting so that he could study it.

The brief also stated that the only information that the Town has received that the contract is to be cancelled and given to the Maritime Electric Co. ,Ltd., was from a speech of remler Jones in the Legislature while discuss- ing rural electrification. The brief asked that the contract with Sum- meralde be continued or lhnt some satisfactory financial con- sideration be arranged.

At the meeting with the Min- later the matter was thoroughly discussed and the delegation was advised that he would take the matter up with his advisers and live a decision at a later date.

Mayor Wedge said that he will make a full report on their Ottawa trip at the next meeting of the Town Council.-S.

0llT|.|llE3 PLANS

a total of 145 miles of highway was rebuilt to improved standards. The object of such standards is to give -roads which will be not only an. isfnctory in summer but also high enough to be reasonably snow free in winter. In addition to this con- struction program. maintenance was carried on. on a larger scale than ever before.

The use of calcium chloride has helped to combat the most diffic- ult of summer problems, that of dust: but it is‘: very heavy finan- cial burden in a Province with the highest per csplta mileage of roads in Canada,

No new hot-mix pavement was laid during the year. A light pave- ment was laid at Murray River and Dingwell's Mills. About thirty miles of pavement was seo.l coated.

One of the big problems in the Public Works Department has been keeping roads open in winter. Twenty-seven enov/plows are ,in use. This year a system of ‘des- potchers has been adopted. with headquarters at Beech Grove and with other centres at Montague. sumrnerside and Alberton, ‘

Lest yeafibridges were rebuilt at aouris West. Grand River, Mt. Stewart, Wellington and Cape Traverse. as well as numerous smaller structures. The new bridge- worir must. carry high speed trucks with heavy loads. and are neces- sarily more costly than the old structures built to carry slow speed truck wagon traffic.

It is expected that the new Health Centre. built at the rear of the for-"

~mer Polyclinio building on Prince

Street which has been taken over by the Health Department, will be occupl this summer.

New re:-rynu-tn‘

At Rocky Point a new waiting room was added and an apron changed from floats,to steel sup- porting cables. Work of rebuilding Prince street‘ -wharf is nearing completion and a new rth‘ for the ferry will be used in arly sprlnz.

The completion of n formers cottage and doctor’: residence at Palconwood‘ was-noted, also that at Belch Grove Infirmary the main building /has been completed and occupied. and staff quarters are being made ready for spring oc- cuponcy.

At Prince of Wales College ex- Mnslve renovations were made to provide more office and locker

space.

Estimates of expenditure in the various departments of Govern- ment for the current year were re- viewed by the Minister -who claim- ed o "rnsrvellous” record for the Government in this connection. In addition to other revenue this Province was obtaining 943,000 in family allowances from the Domin- ion Government.

Mr. cox recalled that a qurter of a century ago there were no family allowances. old age and blind pensions. et:.. yet the people seemed to he better ff. Pond was much cheaper and ere seemed to be less poverty. At any rate. there is more direct relief being paid out today than for some years out. despite the large amounts or- panded in other welfare atntces.

successfully here, except at souris, Georgetown and possibly Alberton.

His department was being inun- dated with appllcations for work of all kinds. and in dealing with these requests Mr. Cox said that _he would use every district as fairly as possible.

At the outset of his speech he scored the Opposition leader for claiming to be the dean of the House. "He had six elections and I had six. but there was a gap in his and there is no gap in mine." Mr. Cox maintained. "1 am the dean of the House. I am in my twentv-] third year here and In all that time I only sat. for four years in the Opposition!" (Laughter).

ALL FOR A ROAD

But. the villagers are pleased. when the job is finished they'll have a sidewalk.

the huge consumption of liquor at the present time.

"Under the new Temperance Act we were assured that it would be very much harder for a man to abuse liquor than under the old Prohibition Act." he said. Tau drivers in particular were to be prevented from using other peo- ple's books. He had seen t/sxi driv- ers. however, with’ half a dozen books under the new law. “Whe- ther you call it lax enforcement .or what it is, it is getting very bad for the country}: He cited instan of young men who were drinking day after day. They were using other people's books. and there did not seem to be any—restrlctlon at all.

Alarming Debt Increase

In provincial financing Mr. Blow- art also saw cause foralerm. A balnced budget was “like a wiil-o- the-vwisp; when you try to catch ix: to it. it is gone." he remember- ed when the provincial debt was only one million dollars. and some people held up their hands in hot- ror.

important to this Province in the flct that the debt rests on the land. Mr. Stewart emphasized. other Provinces have natural re- sources which we lack. "So that when we say we have a debt of some sixteen million dollars. it means that there is Old on every arable acre of land on this Island.

"1 remember when it was 08.000.- we not so many years ago. and we were borrowing at between 3 and 4 percent. I asked the auditor what percentage we would hlvo to pay if our debt wI.s siooooooo; and he said we wouldn't have to pay any- thing at all. because we wouldn't get it! But we seem to have got past that stage. and our security still seems to be good. It must be because we have always paid our debts and W; are good citizens."

Unfair Grunt Provisions

“What is keeping us poor in Prince Edward Island." Mr, Stew- art maintained, "has been these ‘matching grants‘ from the Do- minion Government. to which we must make contributions on a par with other. Provinces. This is high- ly unfair, because the percentage of the revenue we have to but up is much larger than the can- trlbutlons made by wealthy Prov- inces llke Ontario.

"Nobody takes any exception to these grants for health and pub-

lie roads: they are very good \thlngs, but they are keeping us poor."

He maintained that under Con- federation the lsland should have obtained its share in Crown land! and other ‘Dominion resources. "This should have been one of the main argument; for receiving a larger sum of money from Ottawa." he sold. "it is all very well to any We have to cut our suit to our cloth. We need a larger piece of cloth. I think these grants ‘ "bee? " ro- aponslbillty." I

’ A Long Wait

Mr. Stewart stressed the need

i improved roads in the south side of his district, as well as In Second Queen's. "We have been promised a paved road via Bon- ahaw to Bordon. and we have been told that the longer we wait the better the road we would gtt. The only thing is that we have waited so long, we will soon been the heavenly road.” he add-

ed amid ion Opposition ap- plause.‘ "We can only hope that in the near future we will get

some consideration.” _

Mr. Stewart did not agree with the argument that PF°dl|¢U°n W the main problem of food PN- duccrs today. "It. is I matter of distribution, of runsportatlolh he me. To emphasize his point he noted that IMPPIHB 10 E“l““‘d costs more today than it did half a century ago.

As a result. the price last Y6“ Y|°Y°" went below 19 cents at any time- A good manager at a good sel- ary is needed to make such en- terprlae successful.

Cabinet Elevations

Commenting on Cabinet charlie! since the last session, Mr. Stew- art congraiulated the hon. mem- ber for Morell fl-Ion. Mr. Cox) on having forsaken his “wild llfe" and settled down to portfolio du- ties as Minister of Public Works and Highways. .
