ENTi-FJSIASTIC-

(Continued from Pails 1)

Discussion on this report was joined 1n by Mr. P. E. Palmer. chairman of the decorations com- mittee. He suggested that, after the train be stopped a partial march be held through the city. It was felt that this would give a chance to many to view this march who could not get. to the Exhibit.- ion grounds, He also felt chm if the Market Square and Market Building be used for the reception,

might be better. Conn. Gay pointed out that. if the batteries arrived on a market day, the men could not. very well be received in the market bufilti- with the meat. poultry and vegetpbles lying about. The next best. choice appeared w be the Armourles, and on motion of Col. Fielding. seconded by Maj. Low- tner it was decided that, if the day be flne. the reception would be held ln the Exhibition grounds,

d if wet. in the Armouries, the thought being that these men be conveyed there in trucks. Mayor Amett. of Summerside said that Summerslde would ill‘- range that members Qf their Red Cross Corps would meet the boy's at, Borden, and there make a dis- tribution of cigarettes to them when they landed. He pledged the co-operation of the Town of Sum- merside in making this in every way a hearty and triumphant homecoming. Mayor Amctt also felt that the ‘Boy Scouts of Simi- merside would co-operate with other Boy Scouts in checking and taking care of the men's kits and baggage. After further discussion on the matter at the checking and carc of kits, joined in by Messrs. P. E. Palmer and Leo Bradley, Col. Pat- on said he would give this matter close study. Sgt. Maj. Lacey, Mr. Ken Martin, and Sgt, Wm. Dennis were chosen as members of a com- mittee to work with him on this question. The question of motor cars at. the landing and rendezvous

relatives was then considered. No committee had as yet been ap- pointed to take care of this matter as it was thought well to wait till representatives of ltic various dis- tricts of the Province be present to discuss this. Each district was expected to have enough space in cars on hand to take all the boys and their rug belonging w their respective districts. It was decid- ed that, directly the nominal of those arriving should come to hand. the representatives from each district be lnfomied at once. by phone. of these men, so that they might meet them with cars.

Such a meeting. it. is understood. may take place soon in Montreal. The Provincial De artment of Education would ie to secure surplus electrical and machine tools, for the vocational training schnol| now under construction. All such equipment, as well as maps. black- boards and other educational mu‘.- ertil formerly used by the military airports will not, be sold to the educational departments but will be released on indefinite loan. The Provincial Department has put in a request for electrical and shop equipment but as yet has received no definite reply.

Dredging Operations

Considerable progress has been

Wood Islands where two dredges, Nos. 9 and it, have been working for the past six weeks. Dredging at the main pier has been pract- ically completed as well as dredg- ing alongside a smaller wharf which ls now being used by the fisher- men. A small bridge to connect the fishennenu wharf with that of the main pier is under construc- tion. Dredge No. 14. under the command of Capt. Alex Maobesn, ts still operating at, Wood Islands. No. under acting-Captain Bertram Shepherd. who is reliev- lnz Capt. E.J. Gallant, new on sick leave. has arrived at the Rail- way Wharf, Charlottetown, to b!- gin dredging there. It ts expected the operations will be finished be- fore the fall's rush of shipping commences. Assurance was recently received from the Federal Minister of Pub- ic Works that an item to piovlde for the reconstruction of tn rall- Wiiv wharf would be inserted 1n the

supplementary tlmates at the Present seslion _ Parliament.
