Bank Manager ilransferred To Halifax Branch

—Mr. A. S. Hopkins, manager of the Royal Bank of Cansda_ sum- merside, was advised yesterday by his head oflioe that he has been transferred from summerside branch to the Morris and Bar- rington street branch at Halifax. N. S. It is expected that he will leave summcrside to his duties there in two or three weeks time.

He will he succeeded by Mr. O H. Peck. now manager of the Bridgetown. N.B., branch.

Mr. Hopkins took over the man- agerial duties of the Summerside branch in October 1943. At that time the Royal Bank was housed in the old original building when during his term of office was torn down to be replaced by the new. modern structure which now stands on the site of the original building.

During his term as manager in Bummei-side, Mr. Hopkins has tak- en a leading part in many com- munity projects and by the exam- ple of his leadership has promoted many worth while works in the town. As a prominent member of the Board of Trade and a past president of that body he was one

The 8th annual airforce day at R..C.A.F. station, Summetside. will be held on next Saturday, June llth and from all indications the event this year will be the,most impressive ever held on the sta- tion. Every effort has been made to make it so and should the weatherman be kind, the efforts of those in charge will be successful in making it so ,

An imposing airshow will open at 3.00 o'clock and carry through until five o'clock. This year, many types of aircraft will take part in the breathtaking demonstrations of aerial manoeuvers. Here the pub- lic will see in action the C-F 100 Jet, Canadifs all weather fighter: Sabra, termed the mainstay oi the R.C.A.F. fighter wing overseas; the Silver Star, the fastest basic Jet trainer in the world; Neptunes, Maritime reconnaissance aircraft, present through’ the courtesy of the United States Navy, Argentia. Newfoundland. This aircraft is destined to eventually replace the Lancasters.

Weather permitting, the public will see a thrilling parachute jump

staged by s paratrooper ironi Greenwood station. Something new has been added

this yeai'—ielevision. Here, for the first time in this province. the public will see‘a television camera in action, and events as they hap- pen, televised on the receiving screen. This television equipment. camera and receiving set were flown in to the station expressly for the big day.

During the air show, two planes a C-1?‘ 100 and s Sabre will give s demonstration of flying faster than sound-breaking the sonic barrier twice that sfternoon_

Giving all credit due to the thrills of the serial maneuvers in store that day. one of the most in- teresting events (at least from the male viewpoint) will be the choosing of “a queen for the day". Up to the present, quite a number of entries have been received at the station. Contestants of course must be members of the slrforce and it will not be an easy task for the Judges (prominent Summer- side business men) to nominate

of its most interested and unions workers_

As a member and past president of the Y's Men's Club he was ever ready to take a leading part in all the many fine projects sponsor- ed by ths local Y's Men for the benefit of the youth of the town. He was also a past president of the Home and School Association and gave fully of his time and isl- ents to further the aims of the Association.

An sdherent of the aummersidc Baptist Church, he will be greatly missed in the work of that church whose members could at all times depend on him for advice and fine example as s citizen.

A host of friends. while regret- ting hls departure, join in extend- ing congratulstions to him on his well merited promotion.

Seattle Newsmanl lnlerviews Big Jim

The following is taken from Frank Lynch's column in a recent issue of the Seattle Post Intellig- cncer:

Today we are going in make R report on a visitor from a verv wonderful land——oi' so_ he firmly says. A headline athlete of a day long gone, it man of adventure. and one hoping he can live to see A contemporary who missed fame given his just due.

James (Big Jim: Pendeigast was here recently visiting his brother Will, 5611 Admiral Way. He was born on Prince Edward Island. Canada i

Jacques Cartier discovered Pl'lllCC Edward Island in 1535, Big Jim said. He added that Cartier was moved to say at first sight, and with the typical emotion of the French, we suppose: "The fairest land one may seel"

The soil of Prlncesdward Island is red, Big Jim told us, and» it seems to have s salubrious effect on both potatoes-—a'iid fish. Island potatoes have a particular sweet- ness. Island trout multiply vastly in the red-banked brooks, grow very large and fat, and so hold that they almost snap at bare hooks.

Until about l88o—the year of Big Jim's birth—Prince Edward Island was s shipbuilding center. sail to steam and wood to steel, and when he came to young man- hood there was but one Mecca for every Island youth—l3osi.on. Mass ‘

Big Jim was 22, a little over 6-3 and 200 when he made it.

Track Athletics

The turn of the century and shortly after represented the hey- day of the track athlete in these United States. We might add. in passing, that one of the more-pop- ular events was the‘ high jum, the contestant holding s dumbeii in each hand.

BlgJim soon found that he could pole vault to-I0 feet 8. good for

the era. High jump 6-10. good too.

Elmsdale Man Working In Ceylon

I-‘rierids in l-Jimsdaie and vir- inity will be interested to learn of the ronilnued Iucress of a

former native Mr. Donald M. Hay- wood whu has been selected by the Canadian Government to or- ganize s one million dollar fish- eries modernization program in Ceylon under the Commonwealth Colombo Plan to build up South and South East Asia.

Mr. Haywood is an executive of British Columbia Packers Lid. and has already completed a year in Ceylon where he found an obsolete and inefficient fishing in-

dustry where 70,000 men fished with hand lines. Mr. l-faywood was born and

brought up in Elmsdale. a son of the late Wallace Haywood and the former Minnie Woodside of Ham- ilton, P.E.I., nnw residing in Vancouver, BC. Two aunts. MP‘ Laura Thompson and Mrs. Mari Milligan reside in Elmsdlsie.

Lot’: Talk It Over

ET‘

Dr Neatby in her book "So Lit.- tle For The Mind" quotes s uni- versity teacher who has been try- ing to teach “remedial English" to groups of student teachers: “Re- medial classes‘ sounds very well in theory. But those who advocate them seem to think you can thereby remedy overnight the ne- glect of a iifetlme....Untll one tries it. one may think. as I con- fess I did“. Well, after all. these are adult intelligent people; if you point out the difference be- tween “to" and “too". they will then remember it.‘ But it is not so. one can teach it more easily to Grade IV students, because the Grade IV studenis have had eight years of practice in doing it the wrong way."

0 0 0

We can't say enough enthusias- tic “amens" to those statements We'll wager many Grade Ten teachers appreciate the difficulty of changing bad English habits of speaking and writing- that have persisted through the earlier grad- es. This is not meant to be an in- dlctment of the ‘primary or inter- mediary teachers. but rather of the system under which teach. More thorough English drills. and fewer English frills could be the answer.

. - .

By "frills" we don't mean music and art, which do not take up much time, and are worth all the Limo spent on them, but history. geography and other side issues which might well be postponed until later. If is child has a good command of his native tongue. he can travel twice as fast in the later grades, and make up for any lost time in the social studies. Heaven help the children if the situation is further complicated by introducing foreign languages in an early grade, as has been sug- gested.

Toss the 56-pound weight 15 feet iii. lncbes—which was a world record.

We have read a good deal about pi-oselyting of football players- and have simply supposed it use something fairly new. and confined to lesser colleges_ Big Jim hadn‘t been in Boston very long before some Ivy League alumnus decided he might make a fair country tackle. He was given a scholar- ship to is noted blue-blood prep school. and he did go up to the place for s look-see.

"Actually," he was told on ar- rival. “you'll be ‘working’ your way here in theory. That means." the headmaster added quickly, “that you might be expected to wash a dish once in a while." And so Big Jim might have gone on to win a high-neck sweater with a block letter on it except that he heard the call of the Klondike.

He spent a number of years in Dawson. and there became well- scquainted with the most-neglected man in all the history of the Gold R.ush—Robert (Bob) Henderson.

In the summer of 1895 Hender- son had a Talk with a very dis- oouraged prospector. George Wash- ington Cormack. "The man's name really was 'McCormack'," Big Jim said, "and the family originally hailed from Nova Bcotis.

"l-Ie was married to s squsw, you know, and he was csvorting with Indians, and they couldn't pm- nouncs his true name."

Henderson—mov=d by Csrmsck‘s hard luck story—tcld him that he had found some excellent signs on Indian River. near Quart: Creek.

A line Mus

"Henderson was a fine men," Big Jim said. "As he told me so many times later it wasn't that he had anything against Indians in general. It was Just that he told Oarmsck to let him know if he found anything good there, and to save some over the better ground for him to post.“

Osrmsck and his party set out They prospecisd a little that fall. and wlhtered in the general

direction hinted at by Henderson.

In the spring they decided it was

exactly as he presented it-1 land of good signs.

So they pulled out—-more dis- ooursgsd and surely no richer.

‘They came out over a ridge- that was easier than following the creeks." lig Jim said. “One morn- ing they got up and Csrinsck sent his squsw below for a bucket of water.‘

And so lets csrmsck went. as an obedient squsw should. and the rest, of course is hisfoi-y_

Gold, gold-—everywhere along the creek. Did they rush out to tell Hsnderson—did they stake some claims for him? lfmm.

This full ceremonial parade. wit. nessed by about 200 interested rel- atives and friends was held on ihe parade grounds at R.C.A.F. station, Summerside on an evening which the weather was both mild and clear.

The parade consisted of two flights of cadets under the com- mand of the C/0 Squadron Leader Murray Shanks. assisted by the Squadron Adjutant, F20 Elmer Pineau. The flight groups were lili- der the command of FxO's Derek Hughes and .lohii l..eiiiy.

SCIENCE SERVICE

WITH ROOT MAGGOT AND OTHER PESTS

Extensive research programmes are being carried out at the En- tymological Department, Science Service LRb0l'Ri.0l‘_\', regarding the control of the root maggot, at- tacking the turnip crop, the barley joint worm and the seed corn maggot. In addition to this. ii pro- ject on the potato asphid and its transmission of viruses such as leaf roll and mosaic is being studied.

Wet weather has hampered some of the research work to date but experiments are being carried out in the green house and in differ- ent paris of the country.

Mr. D_C. Reid of the Laboratory staff is conducting field surveys and studying the root maggot in many different areas. under vari- ous soil conditions.

The root maggot has presented a very complicated problem to scientisis ever since research work has been started. Many people have been of the opinion that the root maggot is something new in the way of insect pests. This opin- ion, however, is not shared by an- iymologists who state that this insect has been present in the tur- nip crop for a number of years but a demand for higher quality and more rigid inspection has made its presence more prominently known.
