*“This marks the ﬁrst time that the province has had. a tent book of its own on native trees and woodland Shrubs”. said Mr. Cul- len. “It should fill a long-felt need for a guide to our native trees. It will be of particular interest to school children in their study of

botany and will enable them to identify the leaves they gather for class projects."

Provincial Foresters. Frank Gavudet and W. M. P‘rofitt, did a great deal of research before un- dertaking the writing, editing, and illustrating of this creditable publication.

In drawing the leaves. twigs and seeds of each species, the provincial foresters made the ii- lustrations on one inch squared paper so pupils could reproduce the drawings more easily and get a_ better idea as to the actual Size.

One page is devoted to the de- scription of each tree with the opposite page being used for the illustrations. The common names of the trees and their Botanical names are both given. Informa- tion as to the particular part of the province in which the tree is found and the conditions under which it grOWS is also given.

In addition there is a good in- dex.and a section explaining spe cial terms. The book has a color- ed cover and is nicely bound.

The books will go into every school in Prince Edward Island, to special gorups and to libraries, Mr. Cullen said. They will also be available on request to leaders of the Wolf Clubs, Brownies, Girl Guides and Boy Scouts.

Test Drilling At HiIIsboro Bridge Starts

Test drilling to “double check"

the rock structure of the river bottom is now underway at the '~ northern approach of the Hills- ,

boro Bridge.

The tests are being carried out in the area abutment will be constructed.

The abutments at either end of

the bridge will be constructed of two benits of “H” piles with five piles in each bent. These piles will be 100 feet long.

The north abutment will be built first followed by the build- ing of two center piers. The south— ern approach will be the last part of the substructure to be built.

The builder. Maritime Founda- tion Limited, has set early March as a tentative date for the start of construction. However, this will depend to some degree on ice conditions.

Hughes stated, according to in- formation laid by the Moncton 1n- vestigaltor, that he had put it there because he did not know where the box was.

Deportation Appeal Lost By Young Haitian Couple

MONTREAL ICP t~l\ir. Justice Roger Brossai'd in superior court Friday refused to grant a writ of prohibition against the minister of citizenship and immigration sought by a young Haitian on be- half of himself. his wife and in- fant daughter. The court action sought to prevent deportation. His lordship held that the fed- eral government has full and ex- clusive power to legislate in the matter of immigration and citi- zenship.

He said, however. that in view of the time of year “the actual date of deportation and its condi- tions will be so timed and fixed as not to add unnecessaiy hard- ship to the petitioner. his wife and child.”

HERE SEVEN YEARS

His lordship noted that Jean Oreste Volcy had entered Canada Sept. 6. 1951. as a student with non - immigrant status for one year. Extensions had been made from time to time. the last expir- ing Sept. 1, 1957.

Volcy‘s wife, also from Haiti,

“as legally admitted to Canaida March 16. 1957. as an entertainer with non-immigrant status for a period expiring Sept. 30. 1957. The couple were married Aug. 4. 1957, and a daughter was born to the Aug. 21. 1958.

The court said that in October, 1953. the minister stated Volcy and his wife entered Canada as non - immigrants and had re- mained here after ceasing to be such. The minister ordered them deported to Haiti.

ARGUMENT “FRIVOLOUS”

His lordship said arguments claiming the regulations were discriminatory against certain grotps of Canadian citizens were. in his opinion. "frivolous and to- tally unfounded in law.“

Volcy had contended that the. deportation orders against the‘ parents of a Canadian infant were “an illegal abuse of power and an absolute nullity as being con— trary to public order. good morals and Christian charity."

His lordship said: “It is true the child born to the petitioner
