A lot of Prince Edward Island have to depend to a livelihood on jobs which fold up or are greatly cur- tailed during the winter months. But there is quite a ray of hope starting to shine. It begins to look as if we may gadualiy ovecome that problem.

their cars for the winter months. Now that is not only not necessary but cars have- become such a necessity to our economy that they must be kept on the roads-must be kept moving all year around. This applies especially to cars us- ed for business purposes.

That they have been kept run- ning is one example of how we are beating our Canadian winter. so today a service station employee has a full time job. Winter gal- lonnge of gasoline sold is quite high. and the great and compara- tively new automotive transporta- tion industry continues to pile up the miles winter and summer.

it would be difficult to assess what that has meant to the coun- try nnd to the individual who re- ceives his employment from some part of that industry such as gar- agemen. service station operators. bus and truck drivers. employees of alatomobile and tire manufac- ture . to name just a few. All have benfited greatly from tho fact that cars run all year. And how many people benefit indirect- ly from this? There the figure is large too.

The great success that this In- dustry. or group of industries. has had in uv ing winter condi- tions has been a great impetus to others to try to place their indus- tries on the same year-round foot- ing. So today we see houses, stores and churches being built in the winter. The construction industry is making quite a study of this.

QUEBEC (CF)-A Quebec Lib-f erl senator proposed Monday the federal government restrict llLxl3l- nient buying by enforcing a 50- perecent down-payment on uun-'cs- sential goods. Down-payment on a 3100 item under this pl'n')u.x'al would be 350.
