ANOTHER MERCY FLIGHT - On Tuesday, Maren 22. Mr. Elton Woodside brought his aircraft down on French River and took a patient to Prince Qounty Hospital.

back on the river to let the folks know that he had arrived safely with the patient and was met by an Grubulance on the harbor ice. He then took a passenger to Slammer- alde. It is just about a year since Elton made his first mercy mission from French River to Sumvmerséde. In these districts where the roads are bad and it is such a. distance to meet a train or bus, it is a. great. comfort to know that tine “flying farmer." who is cver willing to ob- Ilse when the weather man per- Inits, can always be depended on.

"The only solution to the prob- lem of putting the City streets in good order is re-laying and re-sur- facing" Councillor J. D. Stewart, chairman of the Street Committee, told the meeting of the City Coun- til on Friday night, a meeting in which the estimates for 1910 were passed.

Detcrioratlng of the permanent ltreets which were laid in i919 is now a well, known fact and Coun- cillor Stewart further stated tlley lhave now outlived their permanen- cy and must be rc-surlaced in some instances and entirely re-laid In others.

The following clipping has been received by Mrs. Myrtle Macl-‘hall, Long Creek, from her sister, Mrs. T. E. Stretch of Inglewood. Calif.. announcing the death of her son Alvin Stretch. He was born at long Creek, Feb. 8th, 1911, and passed away March 13th, 1949.

This is the clipping:

“Funeral services for Alvin C. Stretch, 38, of 4648 West 64th Street, Inglewood, were held at l pm. today at the Colonial Chapel of the Hardin and. Flanagan Mor- tuary. 635 South Prairie Avenue, with the Rev. Edmund Krueger, pastor of the Lutheran Chapel of Peace, officiating.

' "Interment followed in Inglewood Park Cemetery.

"Stretch was a native of Prince Edward Island, Canada. and had made his home in Inglewood for the past 24 years. He was a veteran of World War II, United States Air Force. He served with Che 37th Fighter Squadron for two and one-hall years overseas and had been awarded Presidential Ci- tation and three bronze battle liars for participation in the Tuni- aim. Sicilian and the Naples-Fog- gla campaigns. '

"He leaves to survive. his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas I. Stretch of Inglewood; one daughter, Margaret Suggs, of San Iarnando; and two sisters, Myrtle luovw of Inglewood and Inna Pow- ars of Los Angeles."

Expressing his appreciation of the resolution sent from the Provinci- al Legislature to Ottawa. last week, decking aid for Island fishermen and families, Mr. S. H. Burhoe, president of the P. E. I Fisher- man's Federation reported an “in- definite situation" at the Ottawa meetings of the fishing industry last week

Mr. Burhoe said that things looked pretty black at first. West Coast fishermen objected to East Coast fishermen seeking aid from the Fisheries Prices Support Board. The resolution from the East to this effect was thrown out by the resolutions committee of the Fish- eries Council by the West Coast delegates.

However, Murray MacLeod of Port l-llgin and l\lr. Burhoe spoke in the debate on the floor: and the feeling is that they put their points across.

ln summing up, Mr. Stanley Ice, vice-president of the Board, ans- wered various West Coast criticisms. He was acting for Mr. Stuart Bates, Deputy Minister of Fisher- ies, who was absent through ill- ness. It was felt by the East Coast delegates generally, that some- thing may come of their efforts.

A fire. which was discovered about nine thirty Saturday night badly damaged the store of Mr. J.G. Johnson at Elmsdale. It was shortly after the store had closed for the day when a passing motor- ist noticed the flame through a window.
