Jender any possible danger of fire f'ion-existent." ‘ Both owners and operators of the vessel, the departmental spok- esman said, would have preferred steel flooring to wood on the rail deck. However, since there is a shortage both of steel and of time, the wooden flooring will have to do until next year.

Fire Protection

With the planking there has been installation of some addit- ional fire-fighting equipment in line with the departmental policy

-of making the vessel as highly fire-resistant as possible. Both water and chemical sprinkler sys- ierns are installed throughout the ferry and can be controlled by but- tons on the bridge. It was the pos- sible fire hazard of the planking that met with objections when the project was first suggested. but the Canadian National Railways. it is now revealed, agreed that with steel flooring below and around the wooden planking and the Avhoie covered with fire-resistant surfacing. danger would be cut to a minim/um.

in addition to the planking. the Abeguveit has had a thorough bath and scrubbing and a new coat of paint to sweep away the travel- stains of s. year's service. She is

APPEAL TO

Qlfr~w0flléh of the Island! through whose wisdom, foresight and grace we hope for a worthy citizenship, we appeal to you to come out on the 28th and vote for prohibition.

Through the ages womenkiud, especially mothers and their child- ren, have suffered most from the blows of drink. No words can des- cribe the horrors through which sOcne have passed. In many a case death would have been a welcome escape.

If you, yourself. have not suf- fered, then, ln pity, which is nat- ural to you, think of your sisters

who are living in torment, and the larger number who will suffer if this so-called "New Temperance Act" comes into force. Your vote for prohibition will mean less liquor, less crkne. less waste, less danger to our children. and a cleaner, saner life for our Island. Of this we are perfectly sure. I am Sir, etc.

Impression-s 0f \ Recent llog Show

A visitor to the Dog Show held by the Charlottetown Kennel Club on Monday last could not fail to be impressed by the renew! air 01 goodafellowshlp and good snorti- manshijp that prevailed the whole dgy through; every one seemed happy, especially the dogs. for they enjoyed a perfect orgy of barking against each other all the time.

The show ran very smoothlyfrom start to finish. The very capable staff of r1118 stewards kept-the judge busy all the time. and. there were o ions waits, a thing that is often he ruin of so many shows.

The judge was Mr. Wm. McDer- nient, M.B.E.. of Toronto, and his most efficient work was the main factor in keeping his audience in- terested at each session. Mr. Mc- Derment gave each dog brought before him a very thorough exam- ination. and his knowledge and experience enabled him to make clean cut decisions rapidly; and his wonderful memory and keen eye enabled him, after once seeing a dog, to carry a picture of that dog in'hls mind, and he never haul to return to that dog again after once seeing it. He also seems to have that very rare faculty of making- anexhibiior-feei that his dog has been given every consid- eration and has been SW91! every point that is coming to him. His ‘decisions were anxiously watched by a. large audience throughout the day, and many times brought round after round of-applause. His final judging for the supreme a- ward of best in show was awaited with breathless excitement. and. when finally given, was greeted with round after round of sp- plause. Mr. McDerment did a grand job and he made a great impression on those who were privileged to watch his work, and admire his gentlernanly and charming manner with all exhibit- crs.

The children's handling classes for boys and girls between the ages of 8 to 16 years was. as al- ways, one of the highlights of the show. This year. Mrs. William Constable of Boston. Mass, very kindly consented to judge these classes and she gave them all a very keen examination, her final awards being: Boys’ 1st prize. Robt. Lusby of Halifax; 2nd. Blair Scranton of southport; 3rd. Jimmy Wood of Charlottetown; 4th, Paul Jenkins. also of this City.

The girls put on a really clever show, also judged by Mrs. Cons- table. In this her placlngs were: 1st, Doris Hendry of Scsrboro Bluffs. Ont; 2nd. Sylvia Stems with her Miniature Plnscher. Po: the next two placlngs the Rogers sisters, Daryl and Janet, ran ei- mcstla dead heat. Daryl finally Winn-ink from Janet by the nar-

By Joe Musween

HALIFAX. June 22 - (G)- l-Ioueing, munempioyment and old age pensions were among subjects discussed today as the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Muni- cipalities began its 11th annual conference here.

Tonight the some N0 delegates and their wives were entertained st a banquet given by the City of Fredericton. sponsor of the four- dav meeting along with Halifax, Mvncwn. N.B-. and Charlottetown. Lieutenant-Governor D. L. Mac- Laren of New Brunswick was the guest speaker.

Proceedings at the luncheon, given by Saint John, N. B., were enlivened when Thomas D'- Alesandro of Baltimore, one of 20 United States visitors, declared he had stumbled on "strong evidence" of Coirrmufiia-n in Halifax. ,3

Hugh R. Pomeroy, a Nefi runs- wick housing official. la ngly remarked: “Our friend is unable to distinguish between Liberal red and Conservative blue and I hope my fellow Americans will put him straight before he leaves."

Mayor James D. McKenna of Saint John traced the history of that seaport, which holds the old- est city charter in North America. Guest speaker at the luncheon was R. H. Samnderl, chairman of the Hydro-Electric Power Com- mission of Ontario.

Mr. Saunders, a former mayor of Toronto, described the city's public owned power and transportation systems.

At an afternoon session w. Pamercy, fonrner director of the United States National Associat- ion of Housing Officials. delivered an address entitled "low-cost, low- rental housing."

After outlining various methods of attacking housing problems, Mr. Psmeroy said "subsidized puiblic housing is the only answer to the question." New York and other states already had embarked on comprehensive programs.

"Inadequate housing is a. con- tinual denial of humandignity,” he said. "and I em convinced that despite the boom and bust pirates the United states and Canada will conquer this problem."

It was infinitely more costly for a. community to tolerate slums and poor housing than to take meas- ures for their removal-"such con- ditions breed juvenile delinquency. fire hazards and venereal disease."

Tax On Crown Properties

Mayor Lucien Borne of Quebec, chairman o! a committee on tax exemption of crown properties. presented s report in which he urged that the Federal Govern- ment again be asked for declarat- ion of policy on this matter.

Halifax and Saint John, N. B. have been granted payments in lieu of taxation on railway propert- 10s during the last year. Mr. Borne said “if this has been considered justified in some cases, the prin- ciple should apply in general..."

'i‘he conercnfce decided by reso- lution "that the Federal Govern- ment be urged to recognize and assume full smd complete re- sponsibility for the necessary re- lief of all unemployed employables."

A resolution that would ask the Federal and Provincial Govern- merits to hoist old age pensions to $50 a. month for persons more than 65 was sent back to commit- tee alter efforts to kill it were talked down by Sasikabcliewflm. Ontario and Manitoba delegates.

Newspaper Publisher W. E. Mason llics '

SUDBURY, Ont., June 22 -— (CP)—A man who launched his newspaper career as a SI-a-week printer's devil and amassed a fortune as a northland publisher- GG-year-old William Edge Mason- died today.

Bill Mason's business empire stretched into hotels, theatres and transportation systems, but the owner-publisher of the Sudbury Star and North Bay Nugget, liked to be known as a newspaper man. l-lc joined the Canadian Press as c. charter member when the Associ- ation was nationalized in 1917.

Whether it was in politics. busi- ness or sport, he loved a fight and he found the tension o! the June 7 Ontario election camllfll!!! l°° strenuous. The day after the Pro- gressive Conservative Party, which he supported, was returned to POW- er, he suffered an acute attack of coronary thrombosis.

His life was interwoven with fill’! history 0f this hub of the worlds nickel industry and he will he bur- ied here Friday beside the body of his ‘wife who predeceased him in 1946. Funeral-services will ‘be held in Knox ‘Presbyterian Church.
