Queens MP Predicts PC
Win In Island Election
A Progressive Conservative victory in the next provincial general election expected to be called early in the coming year was predicted in Charlottetown Monday night by Mr. Heath Macquanrie, junior Queens re— presentative in the federal house.
Addressing the annual meet- ing of the 3th Queens Progres- sive Conservative Association, Mr. Macquarrie said that he was confident that the people of the province when granted the op- portunity would endorse the PC party and give the Island the imaginative Is a d e r s hi p Mr. Slaw could so well provide.
Dedicated men imbued with ideals similar to those possessed by the men surrounding Prime Minister Diefenbavker was the Island‘s best guarantee of good government he said.
He declared that the Island's four federal representatives
were working in close harmony I
for the betterment of the whole province. In particular. they were pressing for improvement in the province’s communication uystem, and more would be heard of these efforts in the near future. NOTES PROBLEMS
The Queens M. P. admitted mat the nation was faced with “involved economic problems hupossible of easy solution." To deny that such problems ex. Isted would be unrealistic. Tin-- flair and unsound, he said.

growing unemployment in cer- tain areas of the country. Mr. Macquarrie observed.
In his opinion there were few spectacles more tragic than that presenaed by the man who is willing, able and anxious to work and yet unable to secure a job.
But the hummer teacher of poll- tical science insisted that the situation today was entirely dis- similar to that which obtained in the thirties. “Then.” he said, “there was a complete slakening everywhere. and the economy of the whole world plunged into a terrible abyss."
Now. signs that the economy of the nation was still extremely strong could be observed on all sides. Production, consumption. and population were all reach- ing new heights. and a spirit of optimism was prevalent through- out the land.
NOT EYEWASH
W'hen national leaders stated that the present situation was merely a period of recession and not depression. they were not handing out “eyewaslh”, ’ Mr. Macquarrie contended.
The Queens M.P. pointed with pride to the tact that Canada todtay stands fourth in world in ternational trade, that Canadian servicemen constitute the major- ity of the U.N. police forces sta- tioned in various parts of the world, and that Canadian tech- nicians are playing leading roles in many of the great develop- ment schemes now being built in many lands.
in this connection he said that it was considered very import- amt that Mr. Diefenbaker. a new man in world politics, contact without delay the world’s major leaders.
The Prime Minister’s round- the~worldtour had gained even greater esteem for Canada Mr. Malcquam-ie asserted, adding that he was particularly pleased to note that Commonwealth nab ions had been given excellent coverage.
The meeting held in
lottetown's Communin Centre was chaired by A. 0. l“. Gill. later re-elected president of the district Association. A. R. Mac- Inniis of Charlottetown acted as secretary and G.R. Foster, also of Charlottetown, chaired the resolutions cmnmittee.
Jack Hem Dies After Illness Of Several Months
Word has been received by former chief of police A. Birt- wistle, of the death of Jack Born, in hospital at Toronto, Ont. after an illness of several months.
Mr. Hearn came to Charlotte town shortly after the First World War to give instruction to the Sea Cadets with head- quarters in the former Ings property on Dundas Esplanade. now occupied by nurses in residence at the Charlottetown Hospital.
In 1925 Hearn was ap- pointed RCNVR P.T. Instruc- tor, a position for which he was fully qualified as a result of his early training in the Royal Navy. His activities in- cluded physical training of the Abegweit hockey team mem- bers when that organization flourished as one of the ‘T‘Big Four" Ln Maritime circles. Boxing lessons and refereeing local encounters were also in- cluded, along with rifle shoot mg and fishing as recreations.
Two notable events in the life of Mr. Horn are worth re- calling. At the Battle of Jutland in the First World War. he was batman to Admiral Jel- lico and stood on the bridge with him during that historic engagement. Later he was chosen as one of the personal bodyguards of King George V at the Delhi Durbar when for the last time an English King was crowned Emperor of India.

Fatalities and accidents on the provincial highways have taken a sharp increase during the first 11 months of 1958 as compared ‘10 the corresponding period a year previous according to a re. lease from the department of the provincial secretary. Hon. B. Earle MacDonald.
The statement was released tor publication by Tony Gallant of the motor vehicle branch yes- Iorday:
increase in the number of highway traffic acoldents for the period from January lst to November 30th, 1958 over the same period in 1957, is shown, according to figures released today by the Motor Vehicle Branch of the Department of Provincial Secretanr.
“The figures for the period mentioned in 1958, are as fol- lows, with the figures for the corresponding period in 1957 ap- pearing in brackets.
18 FATALITIES
"Number of fatal accidents 18 (12). Number of non-fatal accid- ents 190 (183). Number of Pro- perty Damage accidents 592 (485‘. Number of persons killed 20 (12). Number of persons in- jured B6 (27D. Total number of accidents for the period 800 (680). Estimated property dam: age $312,591. ($274,564).
“The number of vehicles reg- istered and the number of dirin ers licensed has increased sharp- ly in 1958. but this is no reason why we should have an increase of 120 highway accidents. If every motorist and every pedes- trian drove and walked as it is intended for them to drive and walk, the number of traffic cas- ualties would be reduced tre- mendously.

kindness and consideralinn. the. motorist would demand no more territory than he needs to drive safely and would give generous- ly of both time and space to his fellow-drivers. and the pedes— trian would hear no resentment In the vehicle that appears to be trying to dominate and domine- er.
“Only one person holds the power to prevent the traffic ac- cident that will, kill. main or dis- rupt the life of someone. That one person is the person reading these lines. It's not the man across the street or the woman down the block. it is you.
“The terrible toll in traffic win never be reduced until you and every other individual feels in heart and soul the great res- ponsibility that is you-rs and ms in preventing highway accidents.
“The toll will only increase if you leave it to the other person.
“The time to prevent that ac- cident is right this minute. There is no hope of preventing it when it happens.
GOLDEN RULE
“Start. as you read this. to think and act as you would have the other motorist or pedestrian think and act.
“You see, to him you are “the other motorist"!
“Your Department of Provin- cial Secretary reminds you that “it only takes a second 01' care- lessness in change Holiday Laughter to Holiday Slaughter. Walk and Drive with care and give highway traffic accidents or holiday too”.
“May the Spirit of Good-Will engendered by the Christmas Season dominate your every Thought and Action and may the Festive Spi-nit bring (nle Joy and Happiness to you and yours."
