ChildEen-'s Party At Garrison Mess

One of the biggest social events of the year for the small fry will he the annual Children's Party to be held at the Garrison N.C.O.'s Mass at the Armouries this Saturday af- ternoon.

Tile first such event ever held here was the Christmas Party for children last year. It was one of rho more successful efforts of the Moss and the youngsters had a marvellous time. On that occasion over loo of them crowded into the Mess with their mothers or fathers accomp-l anying them.

Of course Santa Class will not be present this time as he was then. but there will be compensations for the kids. There will be ice cream and other treats; there will also be movies and other entertainment. As usual the parents will probably enjoy the afternoon as much as the little ones. It starts at 2.30 p. m. and, of course, is confined to the sons and daughters of 3 of the Mess.

There is little chance that any of the other provinces would hold an election this year, although in Brit- ish Columbia. where thcre was an election in 1940 the Liberal-Consen votive coalition seems to be ready to come apart at the seams.

POLITICAL FORUM

DEPLORABLE ROADS

' .-seeing that on election is dr lnginelr. no doubt our road- masters will begin to do something about our roads. well. itis about time. The roads are impossible for any kind of travelling A from Tlsnish to any of its surrounding districts. You would think Tignish did not belong to the rest of the Island. At Montrose the paved roads are stopped and the electric lights come as far as Alberton. Why don't we have paved roads and electric lights?

At election time the merit makes many Tlgnish. I can't see Government has given Tlgnish Inything that could be called "something". But. I suppose seeing that thepeopleof ihevlllage elect their members, the Government doesn't have to do anything. The people vote for this Government, that does nothing for them and knows that it will do nothing for them. and then they denounce it for the next four years for doing nothing to help our roads. Here's hoping that our Tignish people will be wide awake on election day and vote for someone that will do something to make our roads fit to he travelled on by vehicles at all times.

IRON CURTAIN TACTICS

Sir.-For a long time we the people in this country have been told about the terrible things that have been going on behind the iron Curtain, but of all the things that could happen in such a place (if there is such a place) I do not know, of any time that the iron curtain over fell on any group of people with such a force as it did fall on the thirty representa- tives sitting in the P. E. Island Legislature the day that Mr. Darby read his budget report to the House.

The weight of this iron curtain must have been terrific ill its af- fect for it seemed to have left our representatives deaf, dumb and blind with the exccption of two

lone survivors. and while their case was being diagnosed they were given what is sometimes

known as the shock treatment by telling the-nl as wcll as all the people on P. E. Island that an election would be held on April 26. Just about the worse time. I would say. in any of the twelve

months for the people in this country to.venture out on the roads provided for us by this

Iron Curtain government.

My advice to all the pcoplc is for them to stay home on elec- tion day and not try to brave the conditions of the roads exist- ing in this country at that time, unless they can vote for a candi- date of their own class and choos- ing. Such action on the part of all the people would register as a protest against such treatment. At any rate they have nothing to gain by voting for a government calling for an election in this way, as we are very near the point, I think. when we will nor be a sclf-governing Province.
