If such a tie vote resulted, the deciding vote would be» that of Speaker Frank Fahy of Fianna f-‘cil and De Valera would be back in power.

McDonald's observatory is by pho- tography. very few observations are made directly wifh the eye of the telescope. -

Nevertheless, says Dr. Kulper. e "good bBlfifiCOge in a good climate shows some interesting things about lllars." ' Some of the known thus observ- able are:

White clouds float occasionally in its atmosphere, storms of yel- low dust blow over wide areas.

Mars has polar caps that grow during its very cold Winter and shrink in the simmer. Green areas show in. on the surface cf the planet. Thlfv gmw in size and be; come greener after the polar cap melts.

The green areas are surrounded by what are probably wide, reddish desert wastes,

There are no oceansM-ir lakes.

Here are some things about Mars learned by other techniques:

Such poison Bales as methane and eirnmoniaffollnd in the atmos- phdre of other planets, are absent on Mars.

The oxygen content of its at- mosphere is too slight to show on photographic plates. but carbon dioxide is found in about the same amount the eagth has.

The daytime temperature at the equator ls just above freezing, the night trmperatuije is probably around B0 below.

After routine business was dis- posed of. the speaker of the even- ing. Mr. James McConnell. Gen- eral Secretary of the* Charlotte- town Y.M.C.A., was introduced by the president, Bruce Mcbareix. Mr. McConnell spoke on Youth Counsel. The speaker em- phasized the fact that “we are all counsellors whether we realize 1'. or not." The all-important point ls to b_e an informed counsellor. I‘o be such, one must gain the con- fidence of the vcouncilee to tho.‘- oughly understand his or he: problem in order to give useful counsel. The speaker dwelt at some length on the various mat- ters wherein a coueellor can he n‘ vital service to young men and women in their various social and business problems. i. e., selecting the trade or profession for which he or she is best suited and in which they may expect to have a rerconable measure of success. The speaker emphasized the fact that to be a successful counsellor one must have something of the Spirit of Christ. who was the world's greatest counsellor.

After extending his conzraiulo- lions to the class man-hers on their successful completion of two Yell" of work, Dr. P.A. Crcelman went on to cite briefly the history of the Institution. ' At the 1920 Meeting of the Pro- Viiiclal. Legislature, the Provincial Sanatcrium Act was passed, and in April of the same year. the first board of Commissioners was sp- pointed bv the Government. There were seven members in all. The Iafg Simon P. Paoli served as chairman until his death in De- cember 1940. Other munbers ep- pointed were the late Mr. Jllsiive l-laszard. His Honour the late Judge Fraser, Honourable George D. De- Blots. Doctor J.A. MocPhec. Mrs- Willlnm Mutch and Colonel Full. qur present chairman. The lute Mr. WE. Champion was member from 1938 until his death ln 1945. Other: members now serving are Mr. LB. l-lacMillun, Ml‘. ET. Iliggs. ‘Mr. Reginald Aitken. and his Honour Judge St. Clair Train- or.

The original building was fin- ished and furnished in May 1981 and the first patients were receiv- ed (m the 19th of the same month. From that time until the 911d 0t December. 1M7. scme 1.4% poi-- icnts have been admitted. and i0 these 425.418 days o! trsstmsnl have been given.

The first enlargement. to the In- stitutlon was the buiIdinK of the Nurses’ Home in i936. The follow- mg year the ell of the main build- ing was extended to provide bel- ter kitchen accommodation. and to provide space for fourteen more patients. The last addition was the new wins which was occupied in December, 1945. With the opening of this new building, the school of attendant nurses had its incep- tion.

In prewar days, an effort was made to eta-operate with ‘the gen- ei-si hospitals in this brovinco by having the students affiliate at the Banatorium for g, specified time in which both lectures and practical instruction in the care of the tub- erculosls patient wal given. Un- fortustely this project was discon- tlnued.

"1 regret". Dr. Creelmon said. "that the present class of girls be- fore us is as small as it is. We do not necessarily require more to staff our institution but we should have more going out into our com- munity to teach. in a practical way. how tuberculosis can be pre- vented and cured.

“Since i931 the tuberculosis death rate has been halved in P.E.I., but it is still too high. In 194s, 53.5 persons per 100,000 of the population died from this dis- ease. This figure is 10 points high- er than for the whole o1 Canada. To conquer this foe. there can be no relaxation of effort until it is as rare e- dlsease as smallpox, and then there will still be work to maintain the standard."
