A strong plea. for concerted and vigorous action was made by Mr. ifyndman, who reviewed the Is- land's transportation handicaps and stressed the responsibility of our federal and provincial representa- tive: in the matter.

Mr. Scantlebnry was then asked to drazv for the door prize and the two bowling prizes. Allison Deacon was the lucky winner of the door prize.

The chairman. in the absence of any resolution before the meeting, thanked the speaker and said the tnrtter would be brought up by way of resolution at an early date. The Summerslde Board, he said, had already given their support and it was expected that the Kings Coun- Board would also peas a favor- able resolution.

A letter was read from the Kings County Board, stressing the import- ance of completing the Wood Is- lands ferry service at the earliest date. On motion of Mr. Ainswortli, the meeting endorsed the senti- ments expressed in the communi- cation.

A ie-oluilon of the King's Coun-

ty Board. requesting the Govern- ment to inaugurate daylight saving in all parts of t-he Province next summer. was also read. Called upon, Mr. Mullin express- ed the opinion that famiers gener- ally were not in favor of this meas- ure.

Mr. R. L. Cotton called attention to a news item from Ottawa, which indicated that the Federal Govern- ment wss cowidering the question of making daylight saving time ccmpuisery throughout Canada. In the event of this helm: done, he sug- gested tliat. the Board request that Atlantic Standard e be chang- ed io Eastern Stan srd to avoid confusion.
