(Saves Two Prom lllrowning, Later Rescued Himself

I -Since going to Summerside to work on the Marine wharf now under ennstui-ction, Earl Cooke of Dartmouth, N.S.. had the unusual experience of nctively assisting in the rescue of two persons from (irownlng in Summerside I-lat-bor, and of being rescued himself from .1 similar fate at the same place, by one of the two persons he sav- cd from drowning here.

In lvfziy of last year, Kenneth S2lTldT0rd of Windsor, N.s., while at. work on the wharf after havng just returned from an illness in hospital, fainted and fell into the water between the wharf and a dredge.

Mr. Cooke working nearby. quickly lowered himself on a dredge oaiblo to water level and kept Mr Enndford's head above water un- til another man came along to as- sist in taking them from the water. i A week before Christmas. Mr. Cooke, while walking on it creosot- cd timber. slipped and fell into the water. betiwc-en the same dredge and wharf. This time. it was Mr Sandforri, who, by leaning out over the side of the dredge was nble to reach Mr, Cooke and haul him from the water to the dredge deck.

Most Traffic In. West Prince At Standstill

-Practically all traffic in West Prince was brought to a stand- still yesterday by the severe snow storm whlchibegan late Monday night accompanied by high winds causing three foot banks on sec- tions of the main highway and blocking most cross roads.

Cars continued to move with difficulty in Alberton during the day but roads to O'Leary and Tignlsh were nearly impassable

before noon with only the odd vehicle getting through after much effort.

Several people trying to get to Summerside before noon reported I number of cars stalled on the highway between Elmsdale and Bloomfield Corner and were for-

ced to return to Alberton. The

highway to Tignish was blocked early in the day. Winds died down towards evening but light snow continued to full with I steady drift making travelling conditions very hsurdous.

The Alberton snow plow we: kept busy throughout the day opening roads for patients to be taken to hospital also making a trip to Tignish to open the road for I doctor to return to Alberton and I number of trips to Elms- dale.

The grade type plow which is to be stationed at Tignish and

the caterpillar plow which ll stationed at St. Louis have not yet arrived It their stations

which leaves the plow It Albei-ton the only one west of O'l..eary.

Schools and stores in Sumrnerside were closed during the afternoon Bttisses were taken off the highways at noon, Snow plows gave up .i losing battle to keep highways open last evening and went on stand-by for emergency calls only, until dayligtht.

At peak this yesterday afternoon the water was 2 1-2 feet above normal at Summerside, flooding river the Marine Wharf and cans- ing Cl("l'lC'll and work stuff to aban- don construction company offices located on shore side of the wharf.

No accidents Were reported to the R.C.M.P., and only one motor accident was reported to the town police. This was a collision invol- ving an RC.A.F. snow plow and a Summerside car. The snow plow clearing the highway for a truck taking fuel oil to the R. C. A. F Station was meeting the car when the second blade of the plow caught the cor and dragged it several yaids before the plow tip- eratnr dlscovercd he was moving more than snow. The car received some damage. The driver. Mr. Ralph MxicFarla.ne, was un.nurt, but his father. Mr. Silas MncP'.-ir- lane, who was a passenger, rc- portedly suiffered slight injury to one leg when he lea-ped from the car as it was being dragged by the machine.

One hotel reported it was filled to capacity and another had a few vacancies resulting from the departure by train of a few tra- vellers who will have to return later to pick up their oars.

Taxis experienced a greatly in- creased demand for their services. but were not able to fully enjoy it because of restricted travelling conditions and breakriovm of cars in snow drifts. id-

Let's Talk It Over

Much has been said and written about the risk a car driver takes when he picks up I hitch-hiker who is unknown to him. The prac- tice is a kind of Russian roulette with, of course. 9. lot. more empty chambers in the cylinder to weigh against the loaded one. Then, again. the chances of picking up the wrong h-itch-hiker is consid- erably less in our Maritime Prov- inces than it would be in the Un- ited States, where such desperate characters are in much greater abundance. Because of this, many drlvers take the small chance for the sake of befriending a travel- ler who can, perhaps. ill afford the cost of bus or train fare to get to his destination.

I AM... i There is another

side to the ihitch-hiking problem. A certain

amount of risk is also taken by the one who thumbs. the ride. iwhrn one is taking R long trip. it is a certain satisfaction to know that R. dependable driver is behind the wheel. The hitch-hiker can- not be sure of this. He must take the driver on good faith. as the car owner must. take his passenger. .Ti:e man at the Sid-3 of the high- way may lie getting is lift from someone who has taken "One ttoo inzinyi for the road." The element of risk is very small in this in- stance too. There must be a great imauy more safe drivers than there and even

years without catching up to the accident he has been so assiduously chasing. some people do not like taking even those small risks. how- ever, when dire tragedy may be the odds-against result.

Last week we suggested I plan of instruction in the early grades -but, because two or three lilies of ;type dropped out of the picture, lwhat was left must have been ivery confusing to readers. For the lsake of straighteeiiig out the alt- uation we are repeating briefly the gist of the plan: Spend 257. of the school time on Arithmetic. and 7593 on English. Use the social studies, such as history. geography and hygiene as exer- cises in English, not requiring my examinations in these. The pupil would pick up I lot of information on these subjects but the em- phasla would be on En-gli.-li. where it should be in grades I to VII or

Snort Echoes From Prince county

Just. returned from watching the first hockey practice. in feet. the first skating of any kind, in the new Raceway Stadium. There was I sort of twenty years ago en- titled: "Did You Ever See A Dream Walking?" This dream wasn't walking. but it wu rear- ing its proud pillars to the heavens. and all the rsilbirda present had I look on their faces which said: "'I'h.is is it; what we've been dreuning about."

It is certainly a beautiful struc- ture, and presents A clear view of activities on the ice from all parts of the building. With less than half the lights installed. the ice our-face was as bright as, if not brighter. than any othu rink in Prinu Counkiv.

Widespread regret . m A

is being ex- ,. ” over the unfor t which has be- fallen our popular mayor, Henry Wedge It just didnt seem right that Mayor Wedge should not be present when the Raceway Stad- ium opened its doors for business. No one has been more zealous in trying to get a. rink for Summer- side than His Worship. His May- or's Rink Fund was not the suc- can he had hoped it to be. but that was not because the mayor did not put a lot of energy and enthusiasm into it. He carried oi. the fight and though it did not achieve its object, it kept the need of a rink in the minds of Sum- merside citizens, and was probably partly responsible for the "Big Five" taking matters into their very capable hands. Best of luck. Henry, and may you come back to us none the worse for your har- rowing experience.
