New Year's Message From Lieut. Governor Prowse

The following New Year's mes- sage to the people of Prince Ed- ward Island has been received from His Honour Lieutenant Gov- ernor T. W. L. Prowse:

"May I take this opportunity of.

wishing all citizens of the Prov- ince a prosperous and happy New Year. May the year 1953 be one of great achievement and progress in our Province and Dominion: let us look forward to it with hope and confidence that the hon- est. unilring efforts -put forth by the United Nations in the cause of Peace will prevail, and that 1963 will bring to us a continuance of the many good things that make for our happiness and pros- perity.

"We would indeed be ungrate- ful in this Island Province if we could not see evidence on all sides of God's Providence during the past year. Bountiful harvests from farm andiaea' have been our lot and our heartfelt thanksgiving should go out to Him who has made these things possible. May we continue not only to enjoy these blessings so lavishly bestow- ed upon us but to gratefully re- member the source from whence they came.

"As the year 1952 passes into history may our faith and con-

City of ii-e-ii: York Won Fame in Antarctic

YARMDUTH. N. 5.. Dec. 36 -- (CP) -- A sturdy three-masted schooner which saw her proudest days as the flagship of Admiral Richard E. Byrd today found what may be her last resting place on a reef off this Western Nova Scotia port.

The flame-blackened City of New York, last of Canada's large wind- jammers, ended 9. long drift on Cheboque Ledge off Yarmouth Harbour, where a port official pre- dicted: -

"She's there to stay."

The 391-ton veteran, converted to a coastal cargo ship when bought in 1943 by Capt; Lewis Kennedy of Conqueraii Bank, N. 5.. was be-

ing towed to Lunenburg by the motor vessel Arctic Sealer when her towline snapped.

She drifted helplessly onto the

reef and caught fire. Capt. Thomas Hemmeima of Lunenburg and his five-man or w were rescued by an lt.C.iVf.P. patrol boat. -

The City of New York. built as The Samson in a Norwegian ship- yard in 1985. won a reputation as an unbeatable ice-buclrer on the northern sealing grounds with her 34-inch topsldes and her 40-inch bottom planking of rugged "green-H

Less Gin morous Days

By W. 1!. Shaw,

The season of 1952 will go down in the records as one of the most pleasant in our history. From the opening of Springtime until the year's close, weather conditions were delightful. There were more than the aizeragc hours of sun- shine, particularly during August and September, and mild, tron- quil conditions with very little evidence of frost prevailed, until the closing days of the year.

Lack of rainfall produced good and bad effects. There were no spring freshets to carry off water. and the heavy snowfall of the winter melted gradually and was absorbed into the earth. This con- servation of moisture in the soil reservoir served to carry growing crops over the subsequent dry season without noticeable injury.

The tourist trade prospered and many favourable comments were heard regarding our delightful Summer and Autumn climate.

Road conditions were maintained in 'tip-top shape throughout the usual "muddy season", while

farmers facing a distinct labour shortage were able under smiling weather conditions, to harvest all their crops in excellent shape. and in addition complete the full round-up of Fall work.

On the other hand a serious shortage has developed in water supply. and in many localities the drying up of springs. the usual water supply sources, have com- pelled farmers to water their stock in distant waterways, and

The Department of Public Works as Highways has just completed its busiest year since the war. Two hundred and twenty-one miles of road were ditched, twenty miles were paved with standard pave- ment, twenty-six miles were paved with light pavement, and over one hundred miles cleared of trees, making a total of over three hun- dred and sixty-seven miles of road improved during the year.

Pavement Maintenance. although extensive and costly after the severe winter of 1951-52 was be- gun before the frost was out of the ground and completed in its first of Spring stage, before our tourist season got under way. As pavements age, maintenance costs rise and since some of our pave- ment is now eighteen years old. we must expect to replace it in the near future.

The Department has been en- deavouring to delay further, re- building df the Charlottetown- Summersidu highway until an alternate route is completed via Borishaw. Present indications are. however, that a severe spring may force us to add to the io miles ai- reedy re uilt at Fredericton and New A must sn earlier date than planned.

Ordinary mainten- ance was made easier by the splen- did weather and much heavy ditch- ing was doneto add to the many miles of construction.
