March. had a day off ttoday from a solid weekbf Ontario Supreme Court sittings.

Blx days of morning and after- noon sittings left her looking wan

South African Vlar Veterans Attend Church Services

The veterans of the South Af- rican War paraded to Trinity United Giurch on Sunday morn- ing. March 2nd, in memory of their comrades of that struggle and particularly in memory of the two from Charlottetown who died at the battle of Paarde- berg-Roland D. Taylor, who was killed on February 18,1900. and Alfred Riggs. who was killed on February 2'1. 1000.

The number of living south African veterans loss each year yet there still re- mains in Prince Edward Island nine men who participated the battle of Paardeberg and it seems very fitting that people should pause for a moment to remember the sacrifices of that day. -

Some thirty cattle breeders of

Davies of the Dominion Department at Ottawa a proposal to institute an artificial insemina- tion unit here consisting of ten ‘bulls o.’ thc above breeds.

Mr- Roboti- Chopivell of York was appointed chairman and Mr. R R. Bell, K.C., secretary.

‘The meeting was addressed at some length Mr. Davies. He stated that the unit could handle.

some 3.500 cows and was for the benefit of both grade and regis- tered animals. The Dcminion lends 3551-51811“? lo the breeds in pur- chasing high class mates.

All present at the meeting strongly supported the move and it was decided to organize the school districts within a radius of ten miles of Charlottetown, a; n start, to find out how many farm- ens would patronize the unit.

A Committee of five Consisting

We motor out of Charlottetown by way of the I-Illlsborc Bridge. and we are on the splendid paved highway leading to Montague! The first settlement we pass, through is Bouthport, just across‘ the harbor from Charlottetown, then a mile‘further on is a school _district know-n as the Cross Roads, and on a short dis-l lance we descend Tea Hill. from- the brow of which you look down’ on one of the province's finest scenic views. The next commun- ities are Alexandria and Pownal where you are bound to admire the excellent hillside farms which produce large crops of potatoes. hay and grain.

A school house on our right‘ tells us that we are in Mt. Mel-I lick. a few minutes later we are rounding the right angle turn at Cherry Valley. A few more miles and we cross the road at Millview. thence to Vernon River which is also on the railroad. and here we slow up to gaze at SLI Joachl-mbs Roman Catholic Church. l a fine structure of stone whose steeple can be seen for miles around the surrounding country. Sumzmerville, Alberry Plains and New Perth follow and then we! enter the town of Montague,‘ famous for its progressiveness and fine homes. l

We have now travelled througiil thirty miles of continuous farm-l ing country but we keep on right through Montague, and after tra- versing about three miles oVcr a‘ good gravelled road. now covered with snow. we enter the pictures-i quc village of Lower Montague! We stop here where the Montagucl River empties into Georgetown Harbor. one of the finest harbors: in the Maritlmes. Across the water or the ice at this time of‘ ithe year. we can see the town of‘ iGeorgeiown. A ferry operatcsi between these two points and on several occasions we have enjoy- ed this short but delightful sail.

Shipping Point

We start our round of calls by entering the large up to date store of Raymond Poole's. Jchn Iandrigan escorts us into tlie of-y flce where we discuss last year‘s| potato crop. prices. etc. i

We learn that some potatoes. are shipped from here by sctioo—- ner. In one part of the store,‘ Parker Aitken, a former mem- ber of the R. C. A. F" is servlngi a customer while on the upper‘ ite side Thelma Coffin is en-i dcavoring to satisfy the needs of another customer. A call is madeI at the local school where we‘ find Rita White of Georgetown. teaching her third term. There are about forty pupils in attend-l ance. Nearby is the United, Church. an attractively designed building which is served by i111‘ Rev. Mr. Adams of Another fine building is the canning factory which ls chemist! by James Hewitt and his son Hor- ace. It was closed down at the time of our visit. but in the Spring some thirty hands are em- ployed here canning fish.
