iiow Well ilo You Know Your Island?

(By Uncle J00)

Queen's is our largest County with a land area comprising seven hundred and sixty square miles, or four hundred and eighty-six thou- land four hundred acres. s

A striking feature of this County is its weii-ivatered plains and three iiny lakes, namely: Pisquid, Verde and Keefe's.

A magnificent view of the sur- rounding County rnay be seen from Strathgartney, Culioden and Tea i-iiil.

In 1807 the poll for Queen's Coun- ty was held at Charlottetown and adjourned for seven days to Cheney Point opposite Orwell Ferry. These were the only polls then held in the County, the former could ho kept open for three days and the latter for t\vo days. In 1848 pro- visions were made for elections to be held in one clay to wipe out cor. rupt voting and to cut down the ex. pense of elections. There still is F°°m 5°!‘ lmilroviement especially as regards expenses.

I believe it was Lord Bacon who iaid: “There are three things that make a nation great and prosper- ous. A fertile soil, a busy work-

ihop and good transportation facili- Lies."

Here in Queen's we have the right kind of soil; but we lack the

workshop and rapid transportation _

io essential in this age of hurry. More workshops and more indus- tries are badly needed and shmiid be among our chief ambitions if rver we hope to keep our young nlks at home. Providing jobs for half a million persons in this Gar. l?" Pmvlnce Ought to be our goal.

When the Island was divided into lots on the 23rd of July. 1767. about !Q.000 acres was held by lucky in- ‘iividuals in this County whereas Milly some 5.000 farmers hold about ‘.00 acres each.

The City 0f Charlottetown was incorporated in 1855. It's first MKYO!‘ Was Robert Hutchinson. It's Dissent Mayor is B, Earl MacDon- a .

I-‘irsf illaces to be settled iri the cmml-Y ‘Vere the French at Fort _La Joie and Pinette. Belfast drew its settlers from Scotland under the Earl o! Selkirk in 180s. Other settlements to follow were Tracariie West River. De Sable. New London‘. Irish settled at MOnaghan and Newton; Loyalist in Pownni and Verne" River. and English in Little Ylflk. Winsloe, Suffolk and Cove- head.

In 1896 an organization known as the “Fruit Growers’ Association" tame into the horticultural picture. This association was formed by spirited citizens who visioned a iiay when this Island would be srowins the best apples in the world.

President of the Island Fruit Growers’ Association was Edward Bayfield. Governor Howlan also occupied this position for a time, ‘Ind it was he who coined the name ‘Million Acre Farm", which we so often hear on the lips of this gen- eration of Islanders.

What would these visionaries have to say if they could weak from their graves today? How their Ives would look in wonder at our large fields of spuds and herds of cattle!

But these gentlemen had their dream, and it was nothing but o dream,

The placard placed by the Gen- erai Government high up on the towers of the Canadian horticul- tural exhibit at the World's Fair held in St. Louis, M0,, in 1904 bore [he words:

Styles in tho failies ‘and sstins tend to fitted coats with flaring skirts and button trim. Bright gold "Weatherwise" is styled into a fit- ted coat with wlng-collar and shelf- back. The new tapered back with inlet panels is shown in a slim coat of dark green ‘Torecutcr!’ The frpnt lines of these styles are smoothly fitted and buttoned from the neckline to below the waistline -—usuaily with narrow belts start- ing from the side seams.

For an "all-season all-weather” cost, gabardine was tailored into o Buiberry topcost with button-in lining of blanket cloth. Another outstanding style in red gabardine featured "side-entrance" pockets on a full-skirted cost, the fullness con- trolled at the waistline in cartridge pleats.

A new neckline in rsinwear is the lflllll shawl collar. This style is perfect with tighter tuck-in hoods for a neuter, less bulky look. The large coverup hood has one in- novation-o link-button treatment just above the collar. This will eliminate the "slipping" problem of the full draped hood.

' Fool's Paradise Q_._._

$eli"-De|uc|ed Woman Unlikely To Find Marital Happiness

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: At last I have found my ideal. The man I love, He doesn't drink, smoke or gamble, He hasn't any bad habits. I love him and I can tell by his actions that he loves me, but he never tells me so. I-Ie never whispers in my ear that he loves me. lie doesn't have confidence in me. And I want to be told that I am loved. I want him to coo in my ear. If he would only call mc "dear" just once a week I'd be happy, and if he would tell me that he loves me once every six months I would be blissful. Can you say a few words to help me?

JEAN

ANSWEIU I feel like pouring o little cold water on your bubbling optimism and cooling it down a bit, for hoiv do you know that he loves you it he has never told you so? What makes you think that he wants to marry you if he has not popped the question?

When women tell me that they can read in a man's eyes how much he loves them or tell by a man's actions that he wants to marry them, I could howl with anguish over the fatal facility women have for de- ceiving themselves. For a man's eyes are nothing but a mirror in which she sees reflected her own desires and the interpretation a woman puts upon a man's acts are nohody's business but her own. Why, I have even heard women boast of their husbands being jealous of them and take it as a compliment instead of an insult when they accuse them of the vilest crimes, and there is a traditional story of a woman who thought he: husband had ceased to love her because he quit beating her.

So, my dear Jean, if the young man you are in lave with never men- tions the state of his affections to you and if he doesn't come out flat- footed and ask you to be his wife, you may be perfectly sure that he is not in love with you and that he has no intention whatsoever of may?» ing you. Face that fact and get out of your fool's Paradise of se f- deiusion. '

And, anyway, I think a man who is as cold and unemotlonai as you represent him to be is poor husband material. What a woman wants is a husband with a warm heart and glib tongue who will tell her how much he loves her and how wonderful she is. It is chilly living with a man who is so congealedthat you have to defrost him before you can

get a "dear" out of him. DOROTHY DIX

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a college woman, engaged to marry a young man who is a graduate of the same college that I am. lie had to Nflfk his way through school. Was a country boy and lacks knowledge if many of the niceties of life. His grammar is not perfect and I am cm- barrasscd at times by his lack of knowledge of conventions. Ha ll a. splendid man in every way, devoted to me and I am much in JOVE with him, but I wonder after I am married to him if the fact that we

have been reared on different planes will make any dlIIETCIIC§aIO m“?

ANSWER: Not unless you put too much stress on the conventions or unless you undertake to lift your husband up to your level.

A man's morals, his disposition, his kindness of heart and his energy are a lot more important than his pronunciation or his gram- mar on the way he holds his fork. But unless you can feel that way about thcm and laugh at his provincialism instead of letting it get n your nerves, don't marry him. And don't marry any man with the notion back‘ in your head that as soon as you get him you are going to make him over to suit your taste. There is nothing on enrth that a man resents as much as he does criticism from his wife, and no other human being from whom he will not take it with a better grace.

And the reason for this is obvious. Every man wants to be a hero

The Stars Say--

By Genevieve Kemblo

For Wednesday, July 20

The prospect is excellent for the launching and development of pro- jects of major significance upon which most cherished hopes and wishes may find rich fulfillment, if current events and conditions be wisely, logically, and promptly taken advantage of. Seasoned judgment may prove more reliable than inner urges or personal bias. Change of ideas. plans, geographi- cal position or employment may prove gainful. But do not over- piay the hand with funds, assets or friuidship.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is, have augury of splendid openings with support for inaugurating expansive and long-term plans, in which there is prospect of concrete aid and advice from those in influen- tial places. There arc signs of tangible assistance as well as en- hanced prestige and popularity. although it would be possible to complicate affairs by over-playing in investments. speculation, or extravagance. The spirit is over- gcneroiis and enthusiastic but should be regulated. Change in locale or plans might prove desir- able but take time to consider per- sonai benefits.

With be: mother, who declares chuckling, she is often perplexed to o desperation with the can: of her family of lix, we conducted nor youngest daughter to a Girls’ Camp this afternoon. She is a smallish. blue-eyed min of twelve yeers and answers to the name of Sarah Belle. A younger sister of Ellen, name- seks of our own, instead of dark curls, her head is crowned by tresiies turning towards nut-brown and at present the sun's love kisses adorn cheeks and nose. "I wish", a young friend of our: remarked to us wlstfully in James’ hearing not too long ego, “that I could get something that would rid me of my freckles." And James laughing- iy commented, "Now, why would you wish the like of that? You know I always admire freckles-in fact, I don't think I should have taken up with Ellen were it not that she had a sputtering of freckles across her nose!"

O O O

tryside, not strange to us and yet not altogether familiar after an in- terval of years which have left a changed aspect on many a home- stead, we brought our youngster to the place which is to be her abode for several succeeding days. On the way we had been joined by a set-- ond lass-a sprite of a lady, slight and taiiish in comparison with ourr and owning brown eyel and hair Such a one, we decided at once, could be an elf out of a story, now grown up. Not mischievous we would suppose _in our ashort ac- quaintance, but wise in her years and with an expression of wonder and some uneasiness over the new adventure dawning — though this was a secret thing and only given to those to read who had survfved many n childish ordeal. Our niece too was obviously uncertain about the immediate future, not in respect to any duty or study or sport which might be required of her, but we fancy her concern, as that of manv another. would be found in antici- pating the strangeness of new com- psnionship and in sheltering be- neath an untried roof with a num- ber of strangers. O O O

Wewho can learn from babes snrl small ones were somewhat amused and much interested in the con- versation of these two who rode in the rear seat, our energetic, bright, attractive niece and the other alt: well-gifted we suspect, an elf or a fairy it would be, o bit brown and grown up. If as the older genera- tions will sometimes have it that “everything: changing until we don't know where it all will end" we smiled to hear their talk which was eternally feminine. “Did you bring e best dress?" "Yes!" "What color is it?" "Blue!" “Arid what shade is your bathing suit?" "Tur- quoise". "Mine's pink!" end without any naivete, which might susselt H select importation. she added, "mother made mine-you see we haven't been to town. and my old one was a perfect sight!
