Steady Increase In ferry Traffic A Via Vloodlslands

The steady increase in traffic via the Wood Islands route is clearly demonstrated by the in- crease shown in August of this year compared to the figures for the same monthcf 1950. August of last year was the month when the Northumberland Ferries L141. were called on to bear rthe traffic brunt of the railway strike.

During August of this year the service carried 21,238 passengers, 5.559 autos and 911 trucks. This compares favorably with the 21,042 passengers, 5,323 autos and 998 trucks transported in the same month of 1950. Despite the slight decrease of 87 trucks. there was an increase of 230 autos and 196 pas- sengers.

since the Northumberland Fer- ries rcncwcd their service on May 1 of this year they have handled 55.674 passengers, l-1,479 autos and 3,248 trucks. These figures can be compared to those for the same period last year when there were 51,745 passengers. 13,358 autos and 3.281 trucks moved between Wood Islands and Caribou. These latter figures represent an increase in passengers of 3.929 and 1.121 autos while showing a slight decrease of 13 trucks.

Western section of the Island is either negligible or inadequate

"And whereas increased elect- ricity is required to operate prop- erly the West Prince Hospital of- Alherton and would be a great ben- efit in improving conditions in rural communities

"Therefore be it resolved that the Maritime Electric Company bc urged to extend rural electrifica- tion to this area as soon as poss- ible.

Sterling Pensions

"Whereas due to the devaluation of the pound sterling. the rate of exchange from Sterling to Dollars is new small.

"And whereas the cost of living has risen to such a. high level and pensioners on Sterling Pensions are

present pensions,

"Therefore be it resolved that action be taken by either the Can- adian Government or the Imperial Government concerned to either increase Sterling Pensions or to grant a more favourable rate of Exchange to Imperial Pensioners."

A resolution adopted at last year's convention was reaffirmed. recommending an amendment to the Pensions Act to the effect that pension applicants be given the right to appeal decisions of the Canadian Pensions Commis- sion and of the Appeal Board to the proper courts of the land.

Among other resolutions adopt- ed was one expressing pleasure at the announcement of the impend- ing visit to Canada. and Prince Ed- ward Island of Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh.

Heavy Influx Of Pupils Expected

The opening of city schools and Prince of Wales College this morn- ing will probably bring one of the largest enrollments in history. The city schools, Queen Square, Roch- ford Square, West Kent; and Prince Street are expecting to meet a heavy lnflu of pupils with the probability mat double classes will have to be established in several grades.

In Prince of Wales College it is difficult to tell as yet what. the en- rollment will be, but it is believed the teacher training class this year may be slightly smaller than last year.

Throughout the Province gener- ally the situation regarding .the supply of teachers is better than for several years post. Inspectors report their schools well filled and though there will be some teaching under the permit system the number of permit teachers will be noticeably smaller this year. It is not known as yet how many dis- tricts there are where the number of pupils is so low as to require transfer to another district or the use of correspondence courses. There are several new schools under construction at present on the Island. but the exact number was not known last night.

fine Recital , Of Sacrei Music

In Inita of the Labor Day exo. di” "0m "'9 city. the Baptist Church was filled to cgpujgy on 1s,""d3Y Weill!!! to hear Mrs.

auline Simmonds Fear. soprano, 3'15 ME William Keith Rogers. organist. in a recital of sacred music.

The feeling of sincerity which the" V0"!!! Performers brought to the music was plainly evident "ll'0uzhout,the entire program re. suiting in a spirit of deep rov- erence.

Mr'- liar: Who his been heard all too infrequently in Charlotte- town, is the possessor of a rich dramatic soprano voice of rare depth and tone-quality. This, coupled with her musicianship and interpretation makes for a finished performance. Her ease of manner and poised personality left her listeners with s. feeling of complete satisfaction.

While Mrs. Fear excelled in some of the more dramatic num- beri. each song said what it was intended to say with flawless diction.

Mr. Rogers brmght to his or- gan grcu-ps. a fine performance and in his interpretation of the miisters. he too. brought out to the full the spirit of the music. This young musician. who has been heard on several occasions since his return here about a year ago. has attained a measure of distinction in his musical stu- di!-!- Gill-ed as a composer, pian- ist and singer. his organ playing on Sunday night was anoth evid- ence of his well-rounded m sic:'an- ship. Charlottetown has every rea- son to be proud of these two talented young people. g

Mrs. Keith Rogers' accom- paniment to Mrs. Fear-'s solos were marked by a sympathetic understanding.

The silver collection taken at the door. goes to a fund started by a patient in the P. E. Island Hospital for recreation for the nurses in training. The program follows.

1. Mrs. Fear: He Shall Feed His Flock (Handel); Fear Not Ye, O Israel (Dudley Buck); Like as a Father (John Prindle Scott).

2. Mr. Rogers: Chorale Pre- lude: My Heart is Filled With Longing (Bach); Prelude and

Fugue in E Minor (Bach).

3. Mrs. Fear: 0 Lord Most Holy (Ceasar Frank): The Penitent (Van der Water); How Lovely are Thy Dwellings (Liddle).

4. Mr. Rogers: Pastorale (Tra- ditional): A Lovely Rose is Bloom- ing (Brahms): Chorale Prelude: In Dulco Jubilo (Bach).

5. Mrs. Fear: Like as the Heart Desireth (Alliston); The Lord is My Light (Alliston); Lot Not Your Heart be Troubled (speakcl).

Scotty was attached to the 185th Engineer Combat Battalion which worked with different units of the US. armed forces, but mostly with the Marines. He landed in Korea during the latter part of August last year.

With ILS. loth Corps

He was with the United States Marines 10th Corps for the land- ing at lnchcn behind the Com- munist lines last Full and fought with the Marines to within 60 miles of the Chinese border. Scotty was one of the first sol- diers to land at lnchon.

Then followed the bitter with- drawal from the Chansjin Re- servoir to the sea as the men fought the Reds and the cold in a grim struggle for survival.

As an engineer Scotty worked with a demolition squad blowing up equipment that the retreating forces left behind them. Most of the time the Chinese were right behind the engineers.

"I was very lucky." he stated, ”as all I received was a broken wrist and some frost bites." Here he briefly told bout. the bitter cold and the su fering which the fighting men endured.

Following the evacuation from

I-fungnam, Scotty and his battal- lion were taken back to South Korea where they lined up once more against the enemy and suc- cccded in stopping the Reds at Wonju. He left Korea on August 15 along with about 1500 American gojageyg. Ong of the soldiers who came through the fizhlihl died on the troopship from 'an acute attack of spinal menegitis about ten hours out of San Francisco. "As we sailed under the shire! at San Francisco every soldier screamed his head off." mind Scotty. He flew all the way from San Francisco to Charlottetown. He described Korea as the most backward country imaginable. with living conditions beins in I pitiable stats. Japan. he stated, is becoming quite Americanized and in many places the living condi- tions are quite high. Scotty is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh MscKay, 22 Grafton Street. Charlottetown.

Ch'lown Must Produce 500 To 600 Donors

Red Cross Blood Donor Clinics have now been concluded at 11 different centres I throughout the Province from Tignlah to sauna with a total attendance of 291 On 3 ducts of 1200. This means that Charlottetown must have be- tween 500-000 donors at the Clinics to be held this afternoon gnd evening and tomorrow morning and evening if the Province is to,have a sufficient amount of blood to meet the needs of pati- ents in our hospitals during the

civilian defence.

The residents of Charlottetown and vicinity have always been noted for their splendid support of these Red Cross Blood Donor Clinics and Red Cross officials were optimistic last night that they would again come to the rescue and try to make up for the deficit caused by the centres which did not reach their objec- tives. lt is to be hoped that as many as possible will attend this afternoon's and tomorrow morn- ing's clinics so that the evening clinics will be left for those who cannot possibly be there except in the evening. In this way there should not be so much waiting for anyone and donors need not spend any longer than a half hour getting through.
