~Two-Hour Battle Saves Car—t2

» From S‘Side Harbor Waters

SUMMERSIDE —

effort to recover a car owend by Edwin Gallant of Second Street . which skidded off a well travell- ed harbor surface and broke through thin ice over a marked

4raction, and the car like many > other on the harbor, went into a harmiess skid but continued out of control into a dangerous, thin ice area marked by bushes which -designatei a sewer exit in the harbor over which the ice re- mains thin in relation to much harbor. Realizing the danger when the - ear failed to find sufficient trac- tion to back quickly off the dan- ger area, bo‘h men luckily escap- ~ed from the car onto solid ice as the front end broke through the thin ice and sank into the water below leaving only the rear end of the car above the surface.

Lack Of Racehorses Cancels Ice Meet On S’Side Harbor

SUMMERSIDE—More than 100 cars and trucks were lined up on Summerside Horbor ice Saturday afternoon for a horse race that didn’t happen.

Only about half a dozen horses appeared, and horsemen said the ice was too smooth and glassy to risk racing their horses.

Two or three of them did ex- ercise their horses in the racing manner however, and full dash of the course by twu of the horses, as the crowd began to leave, gave indications of what the spec- tators would have’seen if suf- ficient horses had been present, and if racing conditions had been favorable.

bell, Clayton Travers and Rich- ard Jeffery, Jr., and three new} members, Gerald Rooney, Al- bert Clarke and Roy Leard.

Former councillors who did not nominate are Perley Hardy, who served two terms and John C. Profit who has completed six years as a councillor. A sixth member of the old council, Frank Carpenter, passed away last June. :

Mayor-elect Ourrie is the prin- cipal of the Alberton Schools and served as a councillor from 1949 to 1953.

The new council will be sworn in on February 9th.

Although the afternoon was ex- tremely cold, none of the horse- men seemed to notice the tempr- ature, and while many spectators remained in their warm cars, the more enthusiastic horsemen were huddled in groups discussing the subject of horse racing.

The entire harbor surface had the appearance of one hugh out- door ice rink with smooth ice ex- tending from Summerside to Bedeque Shore. Many motorists explored this area in their cars, enjoying the unusual experience of driving by car to Holman’s Is- land, while scores of skaters had a boundless area to enjoy their favorite sport.

Burns Anniversary Marked By Scots Around World |

FRASER WIGHTON oh ’ (Reuters)—Far-flung Scots and poetry lovers ate and drank their way through a week-

~j |end celebration of the 200th an- we |niversary of the birth of Robert Burns

Steaming bowls of haggis and Scotch whisky ladened banquet tables in -capitals around the

-|world, but the<heart of the birth-

day eve celebration Saturday night was in a Scottish . town. Kilmarnock, hard = by- Burns’ birthplace of | Alloway.

There the Burns Federation held its main dinner and acted as host for Commonwéalth and overseas visitors. Although the birthday anniversary was Sun- day, the celebration was held Saturday night because of Scot- land’s Sunday closing laws. —

ory with John Barleycorn—his pet name for whisky—and tackled Servings of haggis, a succulent dish composed — emong many other things—of oatmeal, suet, onions and spices. . ° HAGGIS PIPED IN

a braw--kilted piper in keeping with Burns’ own respectful attit- ude toward the dish.

“The groaning trencher there ye fill, your hurdies (haunches) like a distant hill, while thro your pores the dews distil, like amber bead.” t

Because the liquor laws ol Scotland and the calendar con- spired to dry out the Sunday cei- ebrations, socially-minded Burn- sians Weré reported mostly con- tent with a quiet reading of the works of the bard, such as:

“O whisky! Soul o’ plays an’ pranks, accept a bardies gratul thanks; when wanting thee, whal tuneless cranks are my poor verses.”

Sunday, however; was a- busy day for the tiny post office in Alloway village. It was specially opened so that devotees and phii- atelists could send off officially stamped bicentenary mail to en- thusiasts throughout the world.

This is an anniversary conces- sion by the British post office. Alloway mail normally ts stamped from Ayr.
