‘A liow lloii llo You i ilnow Your Island

* I! Uncle I00

The first inhabitants of which Onything is known were Souir-quois Ifndians. Their descendants, the Jdiomacs, are now wards of the Government. living on a reservation at Lennox Island. Their chief and council, chosen by themselvh, con- tinue to indicate their constitu- tional aspirations.

The small tribe has made pro- gress in education, religion and the pursuits of agriculture and fish- ing; but love of wandering among the wide open spaces lures not a small number to become trappers, their trap lines often extending for miles across country.

The Benevolent Irish Society of Prince Edward Island had its birth at 'the Wellington Hotel in Char- lottetown on Monday, the 18th day of April, 1825. This society has an ‘unbroken history extending back to that time.

Prince Edward Island got its pre- sent name in 1799. We are one of the smallest self-governing Prov- inces in the British Empire. the smaller ones being Jersey, Guern- sey and‘ the Isle of Man. Each has a Lieutenant-Governor and a Legis- lature. _, .' O O

The history of Freemasonry in this Island dates back to 1797, when the Island bore the name "Island of St. John." In that year mem- bers of the Society living in Char- lottetown applied to the provin- cial Grand Master of Nova Scntia for a warrant of constitution, The "warrant was issued at Halifax the 9th day of October, 1797, and was signed by Richard Bulkley, Grand Master. and associate officers.

The first lodge meeting was held It the house of Alexander Rich- ardson, Charlottetown. Ebenezer Nicholson was appointed Worship- Iul Master; Will Hillman, Senior ‘Warden; and Robert Lee, Junior Warden. Among its first members were such distinguished names as

-Lieutenant-Governor Fanning, Tho- mas DesBrlsay and Alexander Rich- ardaon.

The Masons had the honor nf lay- ing the corner stone of the old Queen's County jail and the Pro- yinclai building.

Great shale beds suitable for road building exist near Pownal,

‘ Orwell, Nine Mile Creek, Tea Hill,

Belfast and at East Point, while a more pebbly materiak-probably of ‘drift origin—may be found near North Cape, Alberton and Cardigan.

How many of us know that a fos- sil, in the shape of a large carni- worous reptile, was discovered many years ago at New London? This fos- iil was purchased by the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. It was the second authentic discov- ery of aaurian bones in the new Jed sandstone of North America, e ppecies differing from any found Ilsewhere.

The annual bail given by His Hams. the Li tena-ntwdovernos at NW..- Q‘ Hon. ELM!»- Larm in the Legislature balding Blriday night: was a fitting climax to the most brilliant social season held in Fredericton in many years. Rep- resentsrtivcs in provincial life as well as hundreds of Irederlcton citizens gathered in the legislative building. The ground ‘floor was thronged with dancers and the balcony was filled to capacity with interested spectators. The Lieut- Governor received his guests with Mrs. Macilaren and the prtmier of the province, Hon. J. B. McNair. Attending the governor were his aides, Lia-Commander F. K. Fowler; Lt.-C0l. Philip W. Oland; Flyins Officer Gordon M. Manning and Major William A. Schofleld. Pres- ent also were Mars. Fowler. Mrs. Oiand. Mrs. Manning and Nlirs. Schofleld. Major '1‘. C. Barker, A. D.

height of forty feet. These are one of our natural wonders, proving quite an attraction for tourists.

At l-log Island in Bedeque Bay may be seen traces of volcanic rock which was spewed from the bowels of the earth centuries ago in a molten state.

And believe it or not, iron ore, manganese and copper exist at Gailas Point and St. Peter's Island. lt is just possible that valuable na- tural resources yet remain to be tapped right under our feet.

The record for longevity in this Province was that of Mrs. Donald Graham, who, at the time of her death, lacked but fourteen days of being one hundred and eleven years old. There can be little doubt as to the cor ectness of the chronology in this case. as the baptism of the wo- man in her childhood is recorded In church records.

The first newspaper published here was the Royal American Gar.- ette and Intelligencer. The publish- er was James Robertson. The year was 1787, There was not even a post-office from which to distribute it, or a regular mail carrier to take it to the scattered, isolated districts.

War l a. number ofcases of pain- ful neck, hou-ider and um were found to be caused by what was called an extra cervical (neck) "rib. This short piece of bone was found to be pressing on one of the nerves coming out f!\':m the spinal column in the neck region. Byrernovlsig this short or cervical rib, and thus re- moving pressure, pain disappeared.

During the past few years condi- tions other than cervical rib have been found to be causing this neck shoulder and anm pain, such as ah- nomiai insertion or attachment of o. muscle, arthritis of ioints of the wine and a. crushed did: (cushion between bones of the spins). [By correcting these conditions insofar as possible, " t. results have befln obtained.

It is now known that another condition, simple tiredness. by caus- ing the shoulders to droop. can cause pressure on the same nerves and cause thepain in the neck. shoulder and arm. 1n the "British Journal of Physical Medicine" (using heat, baths, exercise, mas- sage), Dr. K. N. Lloyd states that the sagging of the shoulder or shoulders puts pressure on the nerves and muscles of the neck. Shoulders dmop when the muscles that hold the shoulder up in posi- tion lose tone because of overuse, strain or aging.
