Roy Gillis. of Georgetown were travelling across the North eastern portion the Island to the village of St. Peter‘s when they lessly lost in the vast forest they had entered.

NOT NECESSARY?

Some cabinet ministers feel that an inquiry is not necessary in this province as the informat- ion gained by the Royal Com- missions in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick is available.

Premier Shaw declined to say whether or not a study will be made of provincial liquor laws.

Mrs. Eldershaw clipped it from a Nova Scouts paper several

years ago.
