Ry .\'F.II. A. \IATHI‘ISON Provincial-Farm Editor

WEST POINT Perry committee pcople told me this week their proposed service that would link Western Prince to a New Brunswick point. prcbably Blictouc'ne or Point 011 t'licne. would play a big part 111 solving the kind of transportation problem Graham Rogers said this week may develop next year when this pmvmcc observes its version of the Confederation Centennial.

Pointing to “a phenomenal increase" of more than 56.000 pas- sengers and nearly 21.000 motor vehicles on the Borden-Tor- mentine route. he asked "How are we going to handle another lncerase in 1964 with the facilities we now have?“ Mr. Rogers suggested the need of "another Abogweit", but the West Prince people feel the service they have been trying to promote for some 15 years could furnish a large part of the answer.

The proposed ferry service could not be ready for next year-— neither colild another Abegweit—-btlt it could be ready to handle traffic increases that are sure to come in the future, such as 1907 when the actual Con-federation Centennial celebrations are held across the country. the fancy spokesmen told me.

MAKE NO mistake about it. these people are most emphat- ically in earnest about their proposal. and they feel they have a lot of solid hacking now in places where they met stron-g op- position in their first attempt. The (‘anadian Maritime Commis- sion turned down the hid in 1048, bill this time the ('ommission people have at least asked for further information. which in~ dictates they must be interested, Part of the information will come. from the feasibility survey that will get underway in a few weeks time. President Pctetr MacCaitll. Ellerslie tells me, if plans now underway materialize.

The service would fill a long-felt want in the Western part nf the province. “111001 is far removed from the ferries at Borden Mid Wood Islands which serve other parts of P.F‘.,I, so con- veniently.

They need strong spokesmen for their cause. and the pro- posal hackers are trying to fill that. need. They also have strong backing this time in New Brunswick. More powers to those gallant warriors who assured me late last year that they are 20111: to do P\'€‘l")'1‘hllllz possible to make tboir dream become a reality. "if the ferry doesn't come to this area, it won't be our fault", they empliaswed.

"Murder In The Manse"

HERE IS one of the most unusual stories 1 have picked up in the search for unusual things “Across the Island."

fine September evening a good many years ago. while prayer meeting was being held in the vestry of the. Presbyterian Churzh at. Allicrton. and while beads were bowed solemnly in prayer. in saws of terrified shrieks were. heard.

Several men near the door had just slipped out to seek the cause, when the cries again pierced the still night air. There view-c slimtts for help. which were instantly silencd by two revolver shots

THF. ('0.\I:\IOTIO!\‘ tiame front the Manse, about 50 yards from the church. which was vacant at the time awaiting a new occupant.

The men who went to investigate found the door was~ securely locked. but they were horrified 815 they peered through an open wmdow with the old of a lamp taken from the church. to see a large pool of blood on the floor and evidence of a fierce struggle. as blood was liberally spattered on the wall.

a ~hort time several more arrived with lanterns and, armed with stout sticks. went in to find the trouble. it was evident that some ohjr‘ct had been dragged up the stairs, as shown by a trait of hloo . 0n the landing the stains were more pronounced. as thotiL‘h a body had lain there.

The sinister stains continued up the attic stairs. and the prayer meeting leader on arrival at the top. looked around at other onlookers with the admonition "Stand around men, there's a riea man 1 ."

Bodv Hidden Under Attic Floor

A WIDE board in the attic floor had been raised and a "body" shoved under» evidently the "murderer" did not have time to hide it completely. as the feet and legs were sticking out.

in a short time hundreds of people bad crowded into the attic for a first -hand look at the scene of the dastardly crime. Th included the magistrate and the coroner. for the event had reach- ed serious proportions by this ime. All of t cm were awaiting the doctor. who was away on a sick call. It was about 1:30 am. When llf‘ arrived and. taking over the task everyone else had avoided. he grabbed the feet and gave them a solid tug. only to have the boots come off in his hands. leaving two sticks covered by the icy of a pair of pants that had been pulled on over them.

AS MY in'ormant said. "we'll draw a veil over the remarks, threats of vengeance and cusses that followed," The boots and trousers were identified as belonging to a respectable farmer who was above suspicion.

Sn ends the story of the most unusual practical joke I ever heard or even read about, The .' e parties never were found. so far as available records show. But I talked this week to the man who planned. staged and played most of the parts in this horror-story production.

11: intrigued me. “Where did you get the blood to ..p=itter the wall. and cover the stairs and floor?" I asked. “. few old hens looked after that part of it" replied the man who has long since bct~n regarded as one of the province's most rc- =pectahle citl7cns. ' for he asked me

O a 0

nt give you the name_ not to, but 1 can assure you the almost unbelievable story is true.

Mail Contact Held Since 1919

I TALRED recently with (‘harlcs Proud. Milton who has held the mall contract continuously on his route since 1919 and received the Queens Coronation modal In June 1953 for being the oldest mall courier in the province on the asis of continuous service. One ot or man had been a courier for more years at the time. but his servire had not been continuous. Mr. Proud told me. IVE-rs. Proud showed Me an attractive brooch which she also received

193.1

It often required the entire day to travel the 18.niilc route when horses were used. and nobody had ever heard of plows to clear the highways, He often stopped along the way to feed his horse and rest him. He travelled in all sorts of weather, hilt was never "storm-stayed" overr nig .

"A MAIL courier was docked then". Mr, Proiid told me. "If he missed a trip—he only got 5520 a year at firstfiand people expected you even though nothing else moved," I told Mr. Proud that 1 can recall Fred Wotton who drove the mail between Brad- athane and Victoria in my school days. Many times we saw “Wolton” pass the school when we could scarcely see him through the drifting snow. though the road would be only 30 feet away.

\tr Promt‘s sons have taken turns driving the mail. They Include. i’ my notes are correct. Harold. Filmer. Lloyd. Stanley and Dale

WANT PEOPLE will recall the old winter road-s that went

Ih'mmh fields to avoid the deep snow on the roads. and some- times o far away from the summer route that a obitny end up

st—ancer would become completely lost. and pr on somclxvtly‘s wood road. unless he had someone to show him the way.

Ghost Story Column Coming Soon

HUNTERS'

tContinued from apge 8) double barrelled shotgun I would ‘ get a real thrill I)0 awake a l spriuglike March morning and, tear ilie first. joyousl aw Caw ‘ of a crow. There was a distinc- tive something about the first welcoming call of a crow that had just arrived that made it plain there were happy days ahead after a winter spent in a strange land. Tile crow was con- sidered fair game and with his arrival in the spring it was the. signal to check on how much black powder the can held as well as the supply of caps. wad- ding and empty shell cases on hand.

Any late winter butchering of pigs was the signal for me bury a supply of 'crow bait' in a snowbank in readiness for the first arrivals of the crow clan. A snow blind would be htlilt and a few hand sled load! of manure would be spread on the snow about 30 yards from the: blind. In those days a crow. or pair of crows. skimming a few feet above the snow headed for the b a it gave me almost as much of a thrill as a flock of geese today. The. kill some springs would run as high as ten or better hilt it never ap- peared to lessen regular slimmer population.

t‘t‘ows are still under pres- sure from hunters The crow call is used to good effect during the summer. Every man's hand appears to he turned against them. in the States their ‘roosts‘ are dynamited at. night and or- ganized crow shoots are made by hunters as a sporting propo- sition as well as to try and re- lieve predation among nesting game bird. Soce use the crow as a means of getting their eye in for the opening of duck shoot.- ing and upland game bird sea son and yet. regardless of ensu- ing casualties. the crow is still holding his own and gaining ground a hit in the bargain In ‘1 Some localities.

; I have tangled with individual crows in my time that took all my skill and plans to eventual- ly liquidate. One such comes to mind. I first made his acquaintance the morning I stopped to look at a black

uck‘s ncst that held 11 eggs. It

' was built between an old stump and a squat spruce bush whose branches overlapped pa rt of the stumps top. I found Mr. (Trow atop the stump with eg it

.yolk dripping from his beak. I guess I looked at the nest too often. I saw him watching me

.on my last visit and crown are

; curious. I learned something the

. hard way. From then on he was a marked crow. 1 found the nest and shot his mate hilt this

told timer was onto on they

‘ come.
