Mr. Burton Martin, 33, of sun- mcrside died at the E. C. A. 1''. station Goose Bay, Labrador, ab- out. three o'clock yesterday morn- llig from injuries sustained in a Jccp accident on Friday night. The body was returned to Summerside last night by I Maritime Central Airways plane which arrived at 11.10, and an examination im- mediately after by Coroner Dr. Austin Delaney revealed that death was caused by a compound fracture of the skull.

The cause of the accident, as learned from unofficial sources, was that the Jeep in which Mar- fin was a passenger turned over when fired on by a sentry at the United states base. Apparently the driver, who came through the accident unscathed. had failed to hold a challenge by the guard.

Martin was employed at the Labrador base by Terminal Con- slruction Ltd., of Moncton and his family received word of his death early yesterday. a. Maritime Cen- tral Airways plane was due to go in Goose Bay on a charter freight lrip for that company today but left yesterday instead. Mr. Ensor Bowness. Summerside undertaker, went along to bring the body back.

The Wood Islands-Caribou ferry service will be in operation this ymr but there will be no extens- ion of the service beyond the regular rum made last year, Mr. R. E. Mulch. president of North- uinberland Ferries Ltd., stated last evening.

The "Prince Nova" will be put on the service Tuesday morning. The "Dunning" will be I few days late as the 'nspector. found a smell twist in the tailshaft, which will have to be replaced.

The Company's proposal was to operate the service for an e tra month this year. when west r conditions permitted. No satis- factory agreement could be reach- ed with the Federal authorities on this matter, .however, Mr. Mulch said. It was only last Sat- iu'day that arrangements were finally concluded for running on the regular schedule.

Mr. Mutch had no progress to report with regard to the Com- pany's proposal for building I now ferry to replace the "Prince Nova," in connection with which two tenders have been received. one from I Maritime firm. This matter is still under consideration by the Canadian Maritime Com- mission, he said. ,

The heads of the Provincial Dairy industry and Federation of Agric- ulture last night expressed dissat- isfaction with the support prices of creamery butter and cheese Irin- nounced by Agriculture Minister Gardiner Friday.

Mr. R..A. Profitt. Freetown, Pre- sident of the Provincial Federation of Agriculture. stated that the sup- port price of 53 cenfs'I pound for but.-er was not sufficient to lot the Eiater requirad..for the home nur- E.

The Provincial Dairy Superin- Pendent, Mr. H. J. MacDonald said the level of slIDP0l't was no good. the freight rates to Montreal would cut the worth of Island butter to below 57 cents, he stated.

The directors of the Federation of Agriculture will meet in Char- lottetown on Friday to consider the Dmblem. Meeting with them will

form: the base

Price would mean that people would d0 "VI! with their milk cows. He stated that the cheese sup- iiort of 38 cents a pound would Pretty near ruin the industry and he expectsd that a big protest would be lodged by the Ontario farmers.

A barn owned by Mr. William Butler, York Point was burned to the ground and four people sitting in the kitchen of Butler's house. were knocked to the floor when a bolt of lightning struck the barn and ripped through the house kitchen about 6.45 yester- day evening during the season's first thunder and lightning storm.

Mr. Butler. is young farmer about 25 years old, his wife, mo- ther and sister were sitting in the kitchen. "Suddenly we were blinded by a terrific flash. Every- thing seemed to be turned upside down and the next thing we knew we were crawling out the door on our hands and knees." stated Mr. Butler in conversation with A Guardian representative last night.

The, telephone was torn from the wall and the kitchen win- dows blown out by the bolt. "The stove was moved, the hot water pipes were bent and the wall be- hind the stove was ripped from the floor to the ceiling.

Fortunately Mr. Butler with the aid of neighbors succeeded: in freeing eighteen head of cattle, including eight milk cows, six year-olds and a number of calves from the born. A horse was also saved. .

Lost in the fire was a quantity of hay. straw and grain. For n time it was feared that the fire from the barn might spread to the house as the wind was carry- ing cinders directly over the building.

Mr. Butler, who was slightly in- jured in one leg as a result of the lightning bolt. was loud in the praise of his neighbours who quickly gathered to render assist- once.

The loss is partially covered oy insurance.

Mr. C. F. I-line, principal of West Kent School.'is in receipt of a letter from Maior Cone-rai W. P. Oliver, C.E., O.B.E.. Colonel of the Queen's Own Royal West Kenvt Regiment, in which the Gen- eral expresses interest in the Cadet Corps of the School and says in part, "we consider it a great privilege to be associated with any organization which has the White Horse of Kent as its smble-m." i

The Royal West Ken-is hold an enviable place in the military history of Great Britain. its battle honors, ninety-two in all, include Alina. Inkerman, Sevasio- poi, Egypt, South Africa, Mons, Ypres, Gailipoli, and the Somme. In the recent war the Regiment served in Frame, Africa, and Italy, taking prominent part in the actions at Dunkirk, Malta, El Alamein, and on the frontiers of India and Burma. At present the first battalion is in Malaya doing front line duty against the rebels and bandits in that area.

General Oliver very kindly sent along several histories of the Queen's Own together with oth- or materials touching on the traditions of the Regiment. It is the intention of the Cadet In- structors of the West Kent Csdet Corps to incorporate much of this material in basic lectures with s view to increasing "esprit do corps" which has always been on a very high plane.

The White Horse of Kent was adopted as the emblem of West Kent School in 1039. The Jutes who invaded Kent in A. D. 449. bore the sign of the White Horse on-their banners. The two lead- ers of the Jutes were brothers- I-Iengist and Horse-both names meaning "horse". Some believe there may have been only one leader and that the two names and conaquent confusion was the result of followers using different dialects. In any case,' Hengist e King of Kent and his em-

ms was the white horse. Later William the Conqueror, after hav- ing subdued the rest of England, marched on Kent, but the Kentish men remained "unconquered." hence the motto "lnvicta" which of the School's crest. Kent finally submitted to William's rule but insisted oni keepi its old tradition and rights. The White Horse has pranced across the pages of history

The sixth annual Festival of Music of Prince Edward Island opened yesterday morning with a vast increase in interest beln shown by the large numbers of spectators in attendance at the sessions in the Prince of wales College auditorium and in the Empire Theatre.

Prowse, who commented on the progress made by the organization behind the Festival in its six short years of Olleratlon. He stated it was the fastest means of spreading true enjoyment of good music through- out the Province, and that it fills a great need in the lives of the people of Prince Edward Island.

Dr. G. D. steel. President of the Association. was chairman for the evening session which was pre- sented before a crowded auditor- ium, and reviewed the history since the first Festival six years ago.
