Coming to the period of the 16th. Century Reformation, Mr. Somers traced in detail the life story and commented on the writ- lngs of Martin Luther (1483 - 1546); and the, contribution of John Calvin and his Institutes (1509 - 1564), and the‘ work of Melancthon, Zwingli, Beza, Farel and Martin Bucer.
“Not alone in such outstanding personalities and revolts, how- ever, is the meaning of the Re- formation to be seen,” said Mr. Somers. “The Luthers and the Calvins could have done little or nothing, had there not been widespread among the people both indignant rebellion against the abuses of the Church and zealous piety, seeking a religion of personal experience, vital pow- er and intelligent credibility.
Two more papers are to be given by Mr. Somers in this ser-
“The History of the Clhiirch in Britain and the Riefor-ma-tion in Scotland and England ‘-- Com- pared and Contra.sted”; and the second on April 22nd. on “The Reaction of Catholicism and the Significance for the Present Situ- ation of the, Decisions of the Council of Trent.” This latter paper will be given following a luncheon meeting in the Charlot- tetown Hotel for the members of the Association and their wives.
I ' O 0 Claims Unified (Continued from page 1) “We must improve‘ our attrac- tions,” said Mr. Bell,_ “‘for
tisement the province can have’,’. He said accommodations were good at the National Park but there were many other spots on the Island that could be develop- ed but were badly neglected. CERTAIN HANDICAPS
In this connection he made re- ference to Summerside. Here he said, tourist‘ establishments were handicapped by lack of proper bathing facilities. He said this was because of the sewage dump- in the Summerside Harbour. He felt that a joirft investigation on «the part of Federal-Provincial and Munciipal governments might bring about a solution to this problem.

Mr. Bell regarding the generous doiia ion of park sites by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Cotton. He felt that the early landscaping of these areas would be a great boon to the industry butobserved that no such areas are as yet set aside in Prince County. ‘ A matter on which Mr. Bell has Slboken on several occasions yes- terday received a word of praise from ‘the Summerside member. He said he was happy to see the Provincial Department of High- WayS_had seen fit to carry out 19V“-‘lhng, Operations where road 1elXCaVatl0nS had existed. However e_ °9mD1a1ned of the number of buildings which are close to the hlghway and destroy the beauty of the surrounding country.- STRINGENT ACTION t Mr. Bell felt that the school rustees should be asked to co- °_Pe1’3I€ by asking the owner to ellhel‘ repair such structures on». else remove them. He compared the D1‘00.edure taken in certain parts of the States where a man is first notified and if no action ‘5 Nikell. the authorities move in and destroy the building. The owner _is later sent a bill for the work 1nVOIVed'.1n moving and Such fixpenise is appended to his tax bill. ti Mr. Bell noted with satisfac- 0n_the proposed survey to be carried out by the Federal Gov- ernment in ‘relation -to the cause- Way. He_ said these investigations glere falrly well advanced by h e late Ottawa government and ad béen generally agreed that stone in sufficient quantity was available, at least for the centre of the structure, and that suitable 011iS1d_e fill could be obtained in quafltlty from Wallace, N. S, He Suggested that cement might be used for the outside. For this he gave two reasons: 1. It could be more easily transported to the side. 2. It would provide, more labour in placing it. EDUCATION ,
In regard to education Mr. Bell said he was pleased to see that the Throne speech had made some provision for improvement in education. In this regard he felt it an absolute necessity. Otherwise it would never be pos- sible to retain teachers of high standing.
While he appreciated the moves made by the former and the pre- sent governments to assist uni- versities,“Mr. Bell felt that the greatest need dwas at the elemen- tary level. He referred to the education committee which re- ported during the last session of the House and felt that a great deal of information had been ob- tained by the committee and the report might well become the basis of a future foundation on which the Government could build to improve conditions in the province. V . RURAL ELECTRIFICATION The Summerside member com- mended the rural electrification pnognam instituted by the Gov- ernment in 1953. He; said it would not be long before all parts of the province would be reached by power lines.
He recalled that the rural electrification program had been scoffed at when it was first an- nounced burt it has done more to improve the province socially and _economically then any other
ernmeiit.‘ . He noted the progress of oil ex-
the actual drilling for oil at Wel- lington. He predicted that the

County Court , Cases Yesterday
County Magistrates court was kept busy yesterday morning with seven cases appearing before Magistrate Gilbert E. Gaudet.
A Dunstaffnage man pleaded guilty to issuing a forged cheque but was released on a $500 peace bond when it was noted that he had made restitution, had been drunk at the time, and since the incident had secured employment in northern Canada. The amount of the document in question was $15.
A local man was fined $10 and costs when he pleaded guilty to failing to register his vehicle for the current season and a resident of Churchill; P. E. I., was fined $5 and costs when he pleaded guilty to failing to have the regis- tration of his vehicle transferred through the government records.
A Bonshaw man was fined $20 and costs when he pleaded guilty of illegal possession of liquor. The case against a Charlottetown man for unlawful possession of liquor was adjourned until March 19.
A charge of common assault was withdrawn against a local man by the plaintiff when the accused told the court that he would not go to the plaintiff's house again. ‘
A Queen's county boy was fin- ed $50 and costs on a charge’ of impaired driving.
Mail Clerks
(Continued from page 1) freight train leaving Charlotte- town at 7.00 a.m. and arriving in Sackville, N. B. at 4.00 p.m. This train would not carry passengers. Thus baggage would be arriv- ing at Sackville three and one- half hours after the passengers, and would consequently fail to make connections in either direc- ion at that point. The same would apply to passenger and baggage coming grom Sackville to Char- lottetown and points West on the Island.
The Post Office refuses to put :a postal car on this train, as the service provided would militate mails the speedy despatch desired. Ex- press, like baggage,,would be de- layed many hours.
The Post Office Department
would be‘ the building of an all weather road to transport the oil which he noted was usually done‘ by tank trucks. This, he said, would all the-more accentuate the need for a causeway.
MORE CONCRETE ROADS
Mr. Bell renewed his annual plea to the Government to build a greater percentage of concrete roads in the province. “Our roadbed is not conductive to the building of other than concrete roads and those who will laugh at me now will have the laugh on the other side should we strike oil here. In that case we would require many concrete roads to transport the crude oil to the re- fineries.” '
Mr. Bell in looking to the future stated that Canada was a country of boundless natural’ re- sources. “We must do all in our power to develop these resources but;.whi1..e—.We -are, .d§=§%,¢i1;oiii!1%' the material resources let, us’ not for- get our spiritual resources. ‘ By keeping them both in balance, we are bound to become the greatest and richest country in the world,” he said.
proposes to have a truck leave Charlottetown at 6.00 a.m. for Summerside where mails would be exchanged. They would leave immediately and proceed direct- ly to Moncton. In the reverse dir- ection, the truck would leave Moncton at approximately 4.00 p.m. proceeding directly to Sum- merside, where mails would be exchanged, thence to Charlotte- town, arriving at approximately 9.00 p.m. On both trips no mails would be exchanged at intermedi- ate points. Another truck route would serve the post offices (in the morning) between Charlotte- town and Summerside via Hunter River, and returning via Trans Canada Highway, would make contact with the post offices in this area. Still another truck route would operate between Summerside and Tignish after the arrival of the truck from Charlottetown.
_ASSOCIATION PROPOSAL This Association proposes that a regular train carrying passeng- ers, mail, express and baggage, leave Ch.-arlottetown at approxi- -mately 7.15 a.m., providing a ser- vice similar to what is presently being offered. Arriving in Sack- ville at approximately 12.05 p.m. it would permit speedy connect- ions with tnain 59 (going to Mon- treal), due to arrive in Sackville at 1.00 p.m., and similarly with train 2 (going to Nova Scotia) due in Sackville at ‘1.50 p.m. As train 1 (the «all Pullman for Montreal) arrives in Sackville at 1.45 p.m., easy mannections are also pos- sible here. Train 39 would remain in Sack- ville. ‘ The return service would pro- vide for train 40 leaving Sackville at 2.15 p.m. (the time now sched- uled for the departure of the pro- posed rail-liner), and arriving in Charlottetown at 7.10, p.m. Due to the expected early ar- rival in Moncton of train 14 from St. John and Boston, mails, pas- sengers, express and baggage would be transferred to train 2 at this point. \
Arriving in Sackville at 1.50 p.m., a like transfer would take place to train 40 woaiting there. On the return trip to the Island mail, passengers and express would be handled as under the ‘present arrangement. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
(a) Under the proposed C. N. R. set-up, express and baggage would be delayed one day, i.e, express and baggage for delivery in Murray River, Montague and Souris, arriving on train 40 on Monday evening as per your As- sociation's proposed schedule, would under the C. N. R. plan ar- rive in Charlottetown on Tuesday at 4.00 p.m. and arrive at its des- tination Wednesday’ afteriioon.
(b) It is understood that the C. N. R. does not wish to accede to the Post Office Department’s re- quest for a trailer on the nail- liner, or a separate rail-liner for the mail. '- '
(c) With the abandonment of the present arrangement for handling of mails (i.e. Railway Post Offices) the services of forty-three (43) couriers, includ- ing Charlottetown and Summer- side, employed in transferring mails to and from the respective Stations and Post Offices on the islland would no longer be requir-
Consequently the Province would— be the laser, to the extent of over $20 000.00 annually, of funds now 1' ceived from Ottawa for this spurpose. '-:1--‘f!v ~
(d) Taking into consideration -the variable climatic conditions experienced here, and the sever- ity of our winter storms, it is hardly‘ reasonable to expect a
next concern of the province ,

highwiay service to operate with

the same degree of regularity as we now receive from the railroad. This latter observation is par- ticularly applicable to the Sum- merside-Tignish route.
OTHER. PROPOSALS
(e) This proposed service would make possible the operation of a pullmaan car during the peake tourist months of July and August and a like consideration for the same operation during the Yule- tide season. ‘
(f) If the proposal of this As- sociation were implemented, the Island would undoubtedly enjoy the finest service it ever had with regard to thewiespatch and re- ceipt of mail, express and bag- gage, and the conveyance of pas- sengers to and from the main- land.
Its outstanding features are: (1) It ties in perfectly with main- land train schedules in all res- pects, thereby eliminating tire- some delays at Sackville and Moncton. (2) It arrives in Char- lottetown almost two hours ahead of the present train’-10, yet it makes all the connections, (a fact which was overlookedat the preparation of the rail-liner sche-
dule). (3) And further, it leaves
Charlottetown at an hour which should find favor with the travel- ling public.
(g) Any curtailment or restric- tion on our vital services with the mainland, which would place us at a disadvantage where the transmission v of mails, baggage and express, and the conveyance of passengers is concerned, must be construed as a violation of our provincial rights.
Surely, such action cannot be condoned on the grounds that it is justified because of economic con- sid-enations. If such reasoning was logical, approximately 75 per cent of existing passenger trains in other parts of Canada, should be cancelled, and a cheaper service substituted. Our railways are pub- lic utilities and as such have an obligation to give to the public a service with its needs and re- quirements.”
Kings Member
(Continued from page 1) woodlots of Prince Edward Is- land are being fast depleted, especially with the introduction of power saws. He felt it would be disastrous to allow the wood to be cut and sold “for a song”.
The paving of roads through vil- lages and the extension of rural electrification was foreseen as an important measure in keeping the youth of the Province from migrating to other parts of the country. /
Mr. Campbell was glad to see that the teachers were to‘ get more money. He said this was a necessity if the districts were to be able to retain teachers in the Province. In so far as the pro- posal to build high schools in larger units, he felt there might be some difficulty especially from the transportation angle. PROCESSING PLANT
The member from third Kings praised the Government for its initiative in starting a processing plant for small fruits and vege- tables. He said the plant would be the means of keeping many small farmers in business.
Inquest into the death of an unidentified infant boy found in Government Pond has been set for April 1, at 7 p.m. in the City Hall. The nude body, believed to
be around two or three days old at the time of death, was found yesterday at noon hour in the bed of the pond by 11-year-old Ken MacDonald, son of Dr. and
donations of Mr. and Mrs. Cotton for lands deeded to the Govern- ment for use as provincial parks. He made fitting reference to,the passing of Dr. W. J. P. Mac- Millan and Mr. H. F. MacPhee§‘ Q. C. '
Mr. Campbell informed the House that he was suffering from a severe cold and at one time during the day had given con- sideration to asking that someone else substitute for him. His re- marks as a result of this were
Inquest Into Death Of Infant Aoliournecl To April I
somewhat curtailed. Mrs. Wendal MacDonald of 21 Brighton Road.
Coroner L. Prowse, investigat- ing the incident, ordered an im- mediate investigation. Reports of the opening inquest at the Charlottetown Hospital yesterday afternoon showed that the infant was apparently suffocated prior to being placed in the water. A large wad of blue paper was found crammed into the baby’s mouth. _
It was also noted that due to the temperature of the waters at this time of year, the body might "have been in the water for a num- ber of days or even weeks. The frigid waters could keep a body from decomposing indefinitely.
A post morten was held follow- ing the inquest. _
Police were called iinInedi.ate- ly following the discovery of the
body and arrived at the scene at
