Residents of the village Parkdale decided last evening
of to
forward a resolution to Premier J. 9275
Walter Jones, asking the Provincial Government for assistance in ob- taining a suitable water supply.
The meeting was called by the acting Commissioners of Parkdale at the request of the Parkdale firemen. Mrs. E. H. Cook was chairman for the meeting. and lively discussions took place regard- ing the need of water, sewerage and sidewalks by the estimated 1,500 residents of the area.
The resolution, which was sign- ed by the three acting Commis- sioners, outlined the very definite need of ii water supply, and stat- ed that no satisfaction had been obtained from negotiations with the City of Charlottetown.
Mr. P. Burke reported for the firemen, and spoke briefly on the equipment on hand and the water shortage which his department has experienced. It was also stated a maintenance fund of approximate- ly S230 annually was needed in order to maintain present equip- ment, and it was suggested this be obtained by taxation.
Mr. J. F. Connolly director of the town planning division of the Provincial Department of Recon- struction. gave a brief talk on the water and sewerage systems, and answered questions asked by the meeting.
The need of a sidewalk along the highway in Parkdale was also briefly discussed. It was announc- ed the fifty cents per person grant from the Government would not lza available until the village arriv- es at a sum necessary for its main- tenance, and taxes accordingly. It was suggested that steps in re- gard to taxing residents of Park- dale be started at the -annual meet- ing which is to be held on Feb- ruary 6.
The chairman nominated the following committee to bring in a slate of five names for that meet- ing from which three Commis- sioners may be elected: Lester Hlckox, Ivan Vessey, and Frank Burke.

Plans for an entire week of festivities in Charlottetown are now being: formulated as a result of a meetinv held last evening at the City Hall.
The meeting was called by the Retail Merchants Division of the Charlottetown Board of Trade. and was attended by His Worship Mayor B. Earle MacDonald. mem- bers of the City Council. repre- sentiitivcs of service clubs and oth- or organizations, and other inter- ested parties
Chairman for the meeting was Brig.,W. W. Reid, who in explain- ing the purpose of the festival week stated that 6,060 more tour- ists had visited the Province last. year than ever before. but it was thought by the planning commit- tee that a week earlier in the seri- son would help the tourist in- dustry tremendously, thus benefit- ing the entire community.
The first week of July is the time during wiilch festivities are to be held. and Brig. Reid suggest- ed this would be a good year to star: in order to lay the ground work -for a huge celebration in 1956 which is the 100th annivers- ary of the City of Charlottetown.
The program forihe week which li:id been suggested by (the origin-
al planning committee, includeti such features as street dancing every evening frcm Monday to
Saturday, the decoration of. streets and stores, an air exhibition. and a display of old historical relics of this Province.
Features for eiich day were sug- gested. including:
Sunday. Drumliead service in Victoria Park in the morning. and missed band concert in the even- ing after Church; Monday. parade of men of all Services and athletic track meet: Tuesday. parade of floats; Wednesday, Aquatic ex- hibition; Thursday. Fireman's day. including paiama parade in the evening; Friday. Rural day: Satur- day. crowning of the Queen of the Carnival.
It was suggested by the meeting that ii contest be held by ihe two local noivsipa.pers requesting res- idents of this district to send in a suitable name for the week of festivities. No suggestions whic were made by ihe meeting were "Charlottetown Mardi Gras" and "Welcome Tourist Week." It was thought, however. that these could be improved upon and it should he left to the public to forward suggestions. The forwarder of the accepted name will be suitably recognized by the committee in charge. (Coupon for this content is on page 5).
It was thought by the meetimt that all residents would co-operate fully in making the week an cui- standlng success. and Mayor Mac- Donald stated he was quite sure. the City would do all in its power la assist the committee in charge

FRIDAY
Increases in the New Brunswick fish catch, money earnings of the fishermen and employment of shore nclp were attributed to the use of draggers by Mr. H. J. Bobichuid.
terday afternoon at the concluding conference of East Coast Pisl-ierla Conference.
Mr. Robichaud noted that the diraggers had proved so populer with the deep sea fisherman that no application: for fishing boats other than draggera have been re- ceived for over a year. On Dec. 31. 1960 we had 62 applicatio for the construction of more draggerl. he added.
With regard to money earnings, he stated there was no comparison with the amount previously at- tained by the fishermen. He noted that dragger fishermen were ever- aging twice as much money as than who used long liners.
The off-shore fishermen. after tne first year, did not say that they were losing out in their catch- es due to draggers, he stated. They say they we not getting as much as draggers and he recounted when one shore fishermen told him his catch had increaaed due to the use of draggers in deep water.
Asked to compare the catches of draggers and ordinary fishing boats he stated that the dragger catches per week were around 00.
.5. 70 to 80,000 lbs. against 13 or 30,-
000 pounds for ordinary boats.
If we were to stay in the fishing business we had to get draggera, he stated. New Brunswick fishermen
they experimented with a 46 foot dragger. which they liked next year they plan to put a 41- footer into operation.
