Well Attended Meeting 0f A.R.P.. Workers llold

Last night an enthusiastic and well attended meeting of the vari- oug A. R. P. contrcllers. the mem- hers of the A. R. P. Auxiliary ser- vices, Ward Captains. and other members oi the Charlottetown Civil- ian Defense services was held in th City Council chambers.

The purpose oi the meeting was to review the set up cf the various auxiliary services and define their particular relationships.

Dr. J. A. MacMlilan reviewed the Medical Auxiliary service. He stressed the» necessity of reporting all casualties accurately to the aux- iliziry controllers. -

He emphasized that it was the duty of the wardens to keep all waffle lanes cleared for ambul- mc-u and first aid crows.

Fin Chief Angus McEachern reviewed the functions of the aux- iliary fire services, and Mr. H. A. Messervey, Controller of ‘Frans- portatlon, dealt with that particul- ar aspect oi the work and Mr. Ll. Stems, Controller oi Pclice and Special Constables reviewed tiho work of his department.

Lt-Col. R C. Chandler, liaison officer between the Charlottetown Civilian Defense Crmmlttec and the Provincial A. H. P., and Major W H. Poole, a. representative from the latter organization, were pre- sent and clarified many points on which there might be confusion or overlapping.

Chief of Police Blrtwislle was also present and took port in the dis- OUSslOIlG.

All the speakers referred to the importance cf the work of the Wardens. It is the intention to hold Wardens’ meetings in the various wards to discuss A. R. P. relat- ionships.

Citing Prohibition Act adminis- tration, Dr. MacMlllan said tiie fact. that so many delegations find it necessary to come to the Legis- lature at tie present time, is a cli- rect reflection on the public dis- zlatisfaction with the administra-

on.

_I-le cited revenues under the Pro. hibitloii Act from the years 193i to i942 inclusive. The average rev- enue under tiie Conservatives, 193l- 85. was about $29,000 a. year. In i936 this government collected $40,-

$55,000"

revenue was practically $l40,0l0 plus $51,000 of health tax, making an all high record of revenue from the Proliibiition Act last year of $187,000.

In four years the Conservative revenue under the Act was $110,- 000. In seven years of Liberal rule the revenue was nearly $600,030, a difference of $487,000,

"I soy, Mr. speaker, that that is one reason why we have these delegations of sincere temperance people coming to this government, asking that the Act be more rigidly enforced,” said Dr. Macmillan.

Premier Campbell: "Are they the same doctors now?"

DruMnciVIillan: "No, a lol. of those who were here some time ago are gone. There are some new ones. But tiie qucistion now, which is rath- er intriguing, is how many other: besides doctors are able to get hold of scripts and use them? 'I’iint is one of the interesting questions which might bear investigation.”

Premier Campbell; "The answer is none."

Falconwood hospital expqndl- tures, Di". MacMlilait suld, is the best yardstick for f“("Y$'.ll‘lllZ econ- omies under various governments. l-Ie went bflCk to 11m .41 n“, a: the yearly rivvrnxc -. the Bell Government was 1117.000. During Conservative ycnrs 1924-27 the ovortioe expenditure was kept down to $105.00). In the following Liberal years 1020-80 it rose to $116,000. The Conservulivt average during the succoctllng terms 19311-33. was $87,000. Ex- penditures under the prcsfint gov- ernment have continually mount.- ed IIOm $114,000 in 1035 to $130,- 000 in 104i and $142,000 in i942. Dr, MncMillan agreed with Premier Campbell that, construc- tion of barns at. Fnlconwood should not, be undertaken ul. the present time. He bcllcvcd the whole matter of Fnlconwood farm should be given serious consideration. H? quite approved of the roposnl regarding a nurses’ home. ul. said it was never intended that the farm should be made into a model farm. The original intention win: to provide recreation and some ll ht employment for the patients.

a. MacMillan cited a statement made recently by Hill, J. L. Ral- ston, Minister of National Defense, to the effect. that 100,000 mcn had been discharged from the can- adian army and that 6,000 of these had been oversws. He understood a mmibe of these discharged men l-re in this Province. This was cf course a federal responsibility, but he asked the Provincial Government to look into the matter and direct attention to any asses r uirlng assistance. I-le had been in mired that some of these men in military service have had their effects seized and sold for debt. In all fairness, Dr. MacMilfan suggested,

each of these cases should be in- vcstlgslezl. This was a matter which liud received careful attention at the Conservative convention at one thing which \v.uld receive attention nt Ottawa when the new Progressive Conservative leader. Hon. John Bracken, is returned to power.

Dr. MucMillan commended an address delivered by Prof. W. J. Reid before tiie Rotary Club. stress- ing the farm lnbor shrtage quest- ion. The added that it ls vitally im- nortnnt that this problem be solved. We must have more young men to do the work on Island farms. If ' every Pnvince sent from l0" to per cent of its people into the ser- vice forces, as Prince Edward Is- land has done, they woud have enough men ln the nmiy without realm-inc to call up more.

He cited the problem cf the ivzirble fly, as one calling for tiie attention of the Department of Agriculture.

Dr. MacMlllan was pleased that the Government made no attempt this your, as they did last, to cut nut fhc exhibltlrn grants. They 11nd had to replace it in the esti- HlfilPH al. the request of m; Qp. licfillori.
