Heath, on the block all week, vow looks like a future Bostonian ajthe Braves have evinced in- ttrest in him. Bill Dewitt, St. Louis general manager, succeeded in waiving Heath out of the Am- erican which was enough to prompt manager Mel Ott of New York Giants to turn a deaf ear to the Browns talk.

The Pirate-Montreal announce- ment was the first involving a rtajor league team at the meet- ings. The _P'ittsburgh club G understood to have given up some 531mm to Montreal, a Brooklyn affiliate, in addition to second baseman Jimmy Bloudworth, a 34-year-old .250 hitter, and third

Liberal Address By Mrs. 1 Benjamin Rogers, Jr. ""3"" W"

The following address was given last evening by Mrs. Benjamin Rogers, Jr.;

It is my privilese and honour as e private citizen interested ln the welfare of this Province to speak to you for a few minutes on what has been accomplished by the Lib- eral administration under the capable leadership of Premier Jones during the past four years. and now the Government is ask- ing for a mandate to carry on for another term. Although 1t might continue in office for some months yet without calling an election. I know you will all agree it is true democracy that the ‘time should not elapse. The Opposition has challenged the Government on several occasions during the past year to call an election and the. Liberal administration has accept- ed the challenge without, fear of the outcome.

Every man and woman on Prince Edward Island is interested in ed-

Charlottetown. These ere definite promises. There is no waiting un- til Mr. Bracken will implpment his promises which might be ten or t/wenty years hence.

Highway Improvement

Our roads under the capable‘ management of Hon. Mr. Barbour. are being improved at a rate un-: precedented in the histdty o! the; Province and this at p, time when! machinery and trained personnel and engineers are difficult ‘to pro- cure.'Over 150 miles of improved‘ roads in 1947 as well as 500 miles graded and some paving and seal- coatlng done. It was rather amus- ing to hear over the air the de-, plorable condition of the roads in} Second Queens especially as, there has ben more road work! done in this district in the past; four years than in any ten yearsl‘ under Conservative rule i the Liberals will continue this road‘ work not only in second Q-ueensi

ucatlon and I would like to point out what has been accomplished and the outlook in this field of;

useful endeavor. 1n the report of1

the Department of Education you will find that from the years 1942 to 1946 the increase in teachers salaries alone, not counting sup-

property the Government has been pleased to grant $500.00 towards the cost o1 erecting a one room school and $250.00 for each addi- tional room up to a maximum of $1,250.

For improving schools $300. for a one room school and S100. for each additional room up to a max- imum o1’ $600.00 provided of course the District pays an equa/l am- ount. This may include furniture. improved heating or lighting, painting, remodelling major play-ground equipment.

These benefits have been appre- ciated for already about 75 per cent. of the money voted for this purpose has been used. It is the intention oi the Liberal adminis- tration to continue this worthwhile policy. I might also add the am- ount spent on education in i904 was 3.336.000. In i047 it has risen to 8756-000. i

Teachers’ Training

OI‘

l As you are all aJjrare. thc short-l age of teachers has been causing; alarm in the rural districts. Last,’ summer a short cofl-se of four‘ weeks was given at Prince of Wales College for those desirous! of entering the teaching prcies-i sion, and who heltl a grade 1O orl grade ll certificate. This course! was given at very little cost to the] student and we arr- reliably in- formed that this course fully just-i lfied itself on the improved scrv-l‘ icm given by many of the so-called permit teachers. 1 The Liberal administration real- izing how difficult it was and still is to get suitable accommodation

r

town purchased a suitable site

i in:

but in every part o: Prince Edward‘ Island.

One of the outstanding schleve-. ments of the present Liberal Cvov-‘ ernrnent was the outcome of the Dominion-Provincial agreements which resulted in this Province receiving about $2,400,000 annually for the next five years, which is 3S yOU 8T6 BWGTE Bil lHCFGESB Of $1,000,000 per yelil‘. This is cf tre- mendous importance to our Prov- ince and it is anticipated that fur- ther extensions will be made to include health and social secur- ity. It is highly desirous to retain the Liberal Government here in line with Ottarwa so that harmony and co-operation may continue. I might also add as a result of the Geneva Trade Agreement that the quota of zertified seed potatoes en-

tering the U.S.A. is increased from?

1,500,000 bus. to 2.500.000 bus. at a duty of 37h’,- ccnts per hundred pounds. (Over this amount the duty rate of 75 cents per hundred pounds will be retained). This!

The tree will be located on the second floor of Moore dz McLeod L.td., and will be placed in posi- tion on December 15th.

Parcels will be wrapped and dis- tributed by Legion members as- sisted by Contact Club members cnd the Overseas Nursing sisters Association, two organizations that are keenly interested in the worthy movement.

At the present time there are about 100 veterans undergoing treatment and it is to help bring more cheer to these boys that it l‘ as decided at a meeting yester- day to go ahead with the plans. There should be little doubt of lLS success. All that is necessary is for the donors of gifts to _eave their parcels under the tree at Moore & McLeod.

By so doing the public will show the veterans that their sacrifices “at! not been forgotten and will help to lighten the burden they carry as they seek a return to health and strength.

Further details will be announ- ced through the press.
