Messaees from her Majesty Queen Elisabeth and His Honour Lieut- enant Governor Prowse, and a personal visit from Premier J. Wai- ter Jones, were among the many tokens of felicitation received by Mrs. William Smith, of I..owerNew- town. on the occasion of her 100th birthday anniversary last Sunday.

Mrs. Smith, who was formerly Miss Mary Elizabeth Mac'ravish, now lives at the home of her daughter. Katie (Mrs. D. A. Mac- Tavish) at Lower Newtown,,where she herself was born a century ago. A son. William, resides in Denver. Col.

she was married in 1887 to Mr. William Smith, and after her hus- band's death in 1903 went to the United states. where she had pre- viously spent some years. and later resided some time with her son in western Canada. Since her return from the West in 1925 she has lived with her daughter in Lower town.

Mr. F. A. Driseoll. Parkdale, head poultryman at the Dominion Experimental ' Farm. Charlotte- town. retires today after thirty- ihrce years service with the Do- minion Department of Agricul- lure.

'rhe date has added signifcancc for Mr. Driscoll for it also marks his sixtieth birthday. and it is ihr anniversary of his enlistment innh the Princess Patriclas in World War One.

Part of Mr. Driscoli's service with the Department of Agricul- ture was served at the Experimental Farm Branch at Kentville, Nous Scotla.

"Not one man in the station service, a sectionman or a bridge nnd building department employee will be effected by the proposed change over to bus service." said Mr. Frank A. Gaffney. Chief of Transportation Research for the Canadian N a ti o n al Railways. Montreal. when he gave evidence before the Legislative Transportat- ion Committee yesterday.

The hearings of the Committee opened in the Court House yester- day morning on the application of the C. N. R. for licenses to inaug- urate bus services here.

Mr. Gaffney also brought out that there would be no stations abandoned in the Province and that there would be a daily freight service maintained. Both of these points he emphasised were con- trary to rumors prevalent.

He said that the Railway was not asking for anything as he pointed out that the company was present in response to recomme rd- ntions by the Provincial Govern- ment and private individuals to the Turgeon Royal Commission on Transportation. Mr. Gaffney also said that briefs had been filed be- fore ihe Royal Commission on be- half of the Associated Boards of Trade of the Province.

He added: "I think I should

stress to you that our proposal is unique in this respect. We are of- fering a modern highway service with all of the flexibility, oosnf and speed made pouible by operation of the best type buses. In addition, we say to you that. J ', the periods of the year when it is impossible to service by highway, we w store service by rail." stated that "despite weather and road conditions" all passenger ser- vices will be continuum.

The frenk storm. amounting to A miniature cioudburst which passed around the outskirts of the city frcm Bunbury. via the golf links and westward to the lower Malpeque Road yesterday morning caused damage on many of the roads and brought grief in farmers who had fields flood- ed. in several places the recent- ly planted seed and even fertil- izer. Was washed away, necessit- ating re-planting at considerable loss of lime and material.

The unusual rush of water caused by the heavy rain made the north end of the lower Mal- pcquc Road one huge gully which overrun the embankment at Gates' mill. filling the pond to the extent that the wastegaic was carried away. Government men were engaged during the late

ly damaged. By. evening traffic was moving cautiously over the flooded ares.

.Work of restoring the waste- gate is being done under the sup- ervision of Mr. Fred Gates, on whose property the pond and mill are located.

Btrongemphasis on the serious overcrowding in this city was plac-

.ed last night by Dr. wenddll Mac-

Donald, City Health officer when he presented his report at the reg- ulilar monthly meeting of the Coun- ,. , .

He uid there was a serious holis- ing problem existing and citizens should realise how acute it has be- come in the past 16 years through failure of building to keep pace with the growth of the city. He did not know how it could be over- come. as he realised the city could not go into the real estate business. But he insisted that something had to be done.

At the same meeting four cu. isens offered a partial solution in agreeing to give the city land to cut a new road from North River nose down to meet Crutwood Drive and Admiral street. This would permit the opening up for new housing developments of over 30 acres of land. The new road will go between the homes of Mr. Don- ald Macxinnon and his son. L.P. Macxinnon. passing towards the west River through lands owned by Mr. Charles Toombs and Maj. T.E. Rogers.

OTTAWA. June 11-Expansion of Prince Edward Island health services was reuuumended today in a report. tabled in the Com- mons by Health Minister Martin.

The report. one of A series be- ing financed by the Federal Gov- ernment, suggested that volun- tary prepaid hospital plans he continued and extended to pro- vide for preventive medicine as ;well as curative treatment, and for diagnostic consultation ser- vices at a minimum flat fee. It also urged that the Government pay the premiums of needy per- sons io bring them into the plan and that the medical profession participate in the administration.

M.L.A. during the hear- ing in Georgetown yesteday before the Transportation committee. Mr. MacDonald had said there was some worry about the railway taking fill) its lines if the proposal were granted. He said this would be serious as frequently 5hlpDCra would be unable to move potatoes and turnips by truck and there were many tracloslde warehouses depending on the railway for ser- vice.

That there would be many poor chudren neglected if it were not for the work of the service clubs was stated last night by His Hon- our Lieutenant Governor T. W. L. Prowse as he officially opened the annual Kinsmen ' ' Carnival.
