"Election topics became more heated this week as electors throughout Prince Edward Island waited for Thursday to return the Liberal Government, or throw it out and substitute a Progressive Conservative or 0.0.1". regime,

Except for door-to-door can- vassing, electioneering had all but come t0 a halt and returning of- ficers were making final prepara- tions to set, up the 235 polls that will be scattered throughout the province.

The largest number of polling stations-W. is concentrated in Charlottetown and the fewest are in King's. the eastern seciicn of the Island, where three of the riding: have l0 polls each. Booths twill be open from 9 can. to i5 pm. A..B.‘I‘__ election day.

eleétion in this agricultural prov- ince since 1873. Oi’ the 20, the Lib- erals have won 12 and the Pro- gressive Conservatives eight. Since the last election in i943. when the Liberals captured 20 seats to the Progressive Conservatives’ 10, six by-eleetions have been held. Four seats remained unchanged while the Liberals and the Progressive Conservatives each gained one seat from the other.

The C.C.F. was placing candid- ates in the running for only the second time. In the last race their nine standard hearers lost their deposits. This time the C.C.F. is running 16 men compared with the

Progressive Conservatives. There is also one independent candidate running on the farmer labor tick- et.

Electoral System

Under the Provinces unique

electoral system, each party places two candidates in each of the 15 two-member riding: - or as many as lt can fill. One 'runs on the Councillor ticket. representing the "property" vote and the other as an Assemblyman, representing the “franchise" vote. To cast a ballot for a Councillor a voter must own $825 ‘worth of property or be a clergyman or war veteran. Any eligible voter may plump for an Assemblyman. which means that many electors get two votes. _

In the last general election voi- ers cast a total of 68805 ballots. The Liberal Government, repeat- ing its 1035 and i939 victories. polled 35.392 votes. made up of 14.551 ballots cast for councillors and 20.836 for Assemblymen. Be- cause no provision was made for the soldier vote in the lust election 11-, was expected Thursday's total would be larger.

Opposing Premier Jones in the 4th Queen's district was M.W. (Mat) Wood. Progressive Conserv- ative, while Douglas MacFai-iane C.C.1"., and Di‘. F.C Douxfln. Lili- eral, would run against Dr__ Mac- Millan in 5th Queens. '

George Wotton. 27-year-old 0.0.11‘. leader and former naval ratins. was belnl opposed by Ag- riculture Minister Stewart. and Ernest Ifolm. Progressive Conser- vatlve.

Two ballots. one for Councillors and one for Assemblymen, are used and candidates‘ names ap- pear in alphabetical order.

The main campaign issues have been the Dominion-Provincial fin- ancial raga ‘ increased C05! oi feed grain: and labor.

Charging that "the Dominion Government had taken the Prov- inces by the throat" at the Dom- iulon-Provincial Conference and had forced them to take what they were offered, the Hon. Dr. W- J- P. Mlwlitfllle-n. leader of the Progressive-Conservative ‘party in the Province, told a joint political meeting in Souris Monday night. that the Liberal Government at Ottawa had once again betrayed lthfid people of Prince Edward Is- ll . ‘

“The Premier has just told you that he asked for $3,040,000 and had received $2,185,000," Dr. Mac. Mlllan said. "In reality. he only received about one million and a half. for this Province, thanks to the efforts of’ past Conservative Governments. ~had been getting $670,000. They had got that with- out selling their birthright, But Premier Jones has handed over our income taxes, corporation taxes, and succession duties taxes to Ot- tawa for a. miserable $1,500,000 a year.

What. do you think of that for generosity?

Forced “Bargain”

"And yet, Premier Jones stands here tonight and tells you that he made a good bargain. Ladies and gentlemen. he made the same bar- gain es the other Provinces and under the same compulsion." The Premier of Alberta said he had sisned under that form of pres- sure known as ‘force majeure‘ and that he had to accept the termg or perish.

"The Premier has tried to con- vince the public that, he got a splendid settlement because he had a well-prepared brief showing the Provinces fiscal need and that that was what he had stressed-

“TINNIPEG. Dec. 9 — (C?) - A Winnipeg burial plot will be the final resting place of Canon John Hudspith Turner, chore). oi England missionary who died early ted-y in I eltv hospital. 1,100 miles from the polar diocese where he was fatally wounded in the Arctic surroundings where he served for 18 years.

His death ended '16 pain-wracked days of struggling against injury end illnen. days ‘which at time: promised eventual recovery and again had nothing but the grave to offer.

Canon Turner's story began at libllxsoowe. Suffolk. Eng. where he was born July i4. 1905. In the annals of the Church of England it took on full bloom in 1929 when. after ordination. he followed the footsteps of a brother and trav- elled to Canada's northland to es- tablish a mission at desolate Pond Inlet, lying in the northeast cor- ner of Baffin Island where the chill of the Pole is never absent from the waters of Eclipse Sound.

His story was hidden from all save the Eskimos and Anglican secretarlats. however, until Sept- ember of this year. when an ac- cidentelly-discharged rifle lodged a bullet in his brain and started onemqt‘ the widest-known ssézas of northern endurance and bravery.

Price War Aids tl.B. Sardine Fishermen

SAINT JOHN, N. 3.. Dec. 9- tCP)—New Brunswick sardine fishermen gained huge profits from a recent buying war among canneries in Maine, according to information received here today from Charlotte County sources,

The price to fishermen of $15 for a LIOO-potind hogshead contain- ing about 20,000 sardines shot to $75 as packing plants bid against one another for the dwindling sup- plies. New Brunswick canneries withdrew from the battle when the price reached $30. Rosult of an apparent truce, the rate settled back to $16 and $17 this week.

The $75 price set a record and came as a sort of Christmas bon- us to the Canadian fishermen. One weir crew of three men is re- ported to have earned $37,000.

New Brunswick fishermen are the chief source of supply for Maine cannerks as well as those in_ this Province.

Rift Develops ln Relations Between France And Russia

PARIS, Dec. 9 -(AP)—-Russia and France expelled each oliiierks repatriation COIIIYJIlSSlOHS today and Moscow broke off trade nego-

tiations, ruiniiig France's uliances for 300,000 tons of badly needed Soviet wheat. A sharp Russian note broadcast by the Moscow

radio also contained a. threat to terminate the 1944 French-Russian alliance.

The rupture in trade talks and repatriation relations came as the Communist-dominated Confed- emtlon General du Travail in ef- fect bowed to a Government ultim- atum and called off the paralyzing. srike wave which at one time had‘ left 3,000,000 workers idle.

A Foreign Ministry spokesman said the 12 members of the Soviet repatriation commission, engaged iii returning Russian citizens in France to title Soviet Union. xvere put on a train for Berlin because they had trafficked in “subversive activities."

French officials betrayed P1810- ly that the rupture in trade talks was a blow. France asked Russia on Aug. 24 for 1.500.000 ions of wheat. Finally on Oct. B. the Rus- sians agreed to negotiate forFrench

School Improvement League Meeting‘

The Sciiiooi Improvement League held a “Fathers Night" meeting at Queen Square School last evening and in spite of the inclement weather, about 100 people were present, including many teacher] and Dr. c. D. Steel, Principal of Prince of Wales College. and Mr. L.W. Shaw, Director of Education. Mrs. F. G. Hutchinson was chair- man for idle evening and opened the meeting by introducing the guest speaker, Mr. Clarence Mer- cer. Supervisor of Sutmmerside Iligh School. She mentioned Mr. Mercer's previous activities in the Navy and in Newfoundland i-n regard to the

planning of Vocational Guidance courses. Mr. Mercer opened his talk by

saying that he thought “that some- thing was wrong with our stahools" and followed by reading from a. school guidance leaflet which con- tained informatlon of interest to all teachers, parents and members.

1-1e said as teachers. "we were not satisfied with the way thins are done" and were aware of the shortcomings of the educational systenr but the way to reform was so often blocked by inertia and complacency. Vocational guidance is always carried on in schools to some extent, and has been for many years, but in the past 10 years there has been a more defin- ite move to extend this training. Teachers are concerned with vo- caiional guidance of which there are two types, Educational Guid- ance and Social Guidance, the former being "how to think and express oneself,“ and the latter. "how to behave, be courteous and develop mental health."

Mr. Mercer said he believed more comprehensive records should be compiled of each pupil_ notes of general‘ behaviour and activities being made. In this way a fuil picture of the child would be pre- scnted.

Mrs. R. R. Hurst proposed a. vote of thanks to Mr. Mercer.
