Little Theatre Executive ilolds Meeting
A meeting of the Executive of the Little Theatre was held last night at he home of Mrs. Gordon White at North River Road. The President '1'. Harry Morris was in the chair.
The secretary, Miss Mary Mc- Quaid. read correspondence with the N. 8. Drama Association rela- tive to their proposal that their annual festival should be held in Charlottetown in February as they fear that if they stage it in their own district facilities might be looking as the. Dominion Drama Festival is scheduled for later in the season irrsaint John. It was the majority opinion that this is too broad a proposition for the local Little Theatre Group and a committee was appointed to meet with other interested groups to discuss this interesting and gen- erous proposal. 'I'hLs committee will be composed of Harry Morris. Fred Pound, Barry Bugden and Florine Evans.
Iii was decided to hold the open- ing studio night of the season at the Empire Theatre on the night of Thursday. 6th of December. when three one-act plays will be presented. The necessity of ob- taining more new members was discussed and it was decided to sell the season tickets at the door.
It was decided to enter a play now in rehearsal, under the direc- tion of Charles iaentiy in the Pro- vinclsl Drama Festival.

The activities and functions of the Charlottetown Marine Agency of the Department of Transport were outlined in the course of a very interesting address at Rot:-1i'y luncheon yesterday by Mr.Erskinc MacNutt. District Marine Agent. Rolarians Walter Hyndman and Dr. G.G. Houston presided. the guests being Roiarians George Wood. Sydney. N. 5.; G. S. Din- woodie. Halifax. and Mr. A. R P1033 inspector. Royal Bank ,of Canada.
The Department of Marine and Fisheries. Mr. MacNutt explained. was established at the time of Confederation. was given cha:ge of regulations. conduct of ship- ping, and aids to navigation. in 1930. a separate Department of Fisheries was established, leaving the following activities to the Deg psrtment of Marine: Aids to navigation; St. Lawrence ship channel: operation of harbours. wharves. merchant marine; me- teorological and radio communic- atlons.
Trends in modern transporta- tion had developed to such an extent by 1935 that a new set-up had to be made. and the Depart- ment of Transport came into be- ing. This resulted in the amalga- mation of the Department of Railways and Canals, and the Department of Marine. and in the transfer to the resulting Depart- ment of Transport of the Civil Aviation Branch of the Depart- ment. of National Defence.
The Marine Agencies come un- der the supe vision of the Direct- or of Marin .Se-rvices. Ottawa. There are some 10 Marine Agen- cies across Canada: at Saint John. N.B.. Haliiiax, Charlottetown. Quebec City. Prescott. Ont.. Parry Sound. Ont.. Victoria and Prince Rupert. B.C.. and St. John's, Nfld.. also at Sorel, P. Q.
The functions of these Marine Agencies are. broadly. to repre- sent the Department within dis- tricts which are defined and which. as a whole. encompass the whole coastline and all the navig- able inland waters of Canada? and to direct and administer all departmental activimtiee pertain- ing to construction. operation and maintenance of Aids to Naviga- tion. the operations of Marine Service steamers. the administra- tion and maintenance of Govern- ment wharves. and the direc- tion and supervision of Harbour Masters. etc.
The Department of Transport does not construct or undertake major repairs of Government wharves. This is the function of the Department of Public Works. an entirely separate Department under a separate Minister of the Federal Government.
Charlottetown Agency
Up to lilo. the Marine Depart- ment ln qChsrlottel.own had I rather small territory to admin- ister; this was the Province of P. 13. Island on-ly. Up to this time. that is 1919. the entire coast lines of Nova scotia. New Brunswick.
Quebec. etc.. were administered from Halifax. Saint John. Ind Quebec City. respectively. A re-
distribution of territory was made in 1019 which disregarded Pro- vincial boundary lines: this was done for economical reasons. it being much easier for Charlotte- town to supply light stations and maintain floating Aids to Naviga- tion in the Northumbsriand Strait coaet lines of Nova scotis and ...........-..mm:---- III I SET GOISIIPATEI

New Brunswick than it would be 101” Halifax. and particularly for Saint John. N. 13.. situated as it is in the Bay of Fundy.
As a consequence of this re- distribution, the territory of the Charlottetown Marine Department was vastly extended in area, re- sulting in greatly increased activ- ities and a larger staff. Since the confederation of Newfoundland with Canada. 40 additional lights have been taken over by the Charlottetown Agency.
The Charlottetown Marine Ag- ency is now responsible for the investigation and recommendation of the necessity for. the location, construction, operation and main- tenance of aids to navigation on the coasts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia fronting on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the coasts of E. E. island and the Magdalen Is- lands, the West coast of New- foundland from Cabot Strait. near Port aux Basques. up to and in- cluding the Strait of Belle Isle on both the Newfoundland and Lab- rador sides. and the North Shore of Qucabec from Labrador to Na- iashquan opposite the eastern end of Antlcosti Island. The coasts serviced cover some 1300 miles. It may be noted that the territory covered takes in, wholly or par- tially, five Provinces.
Aids To Navigation
On the coasts just referred to. the Charlottetown Agency main- tains the following aids to navi- gation: 235 light staiions.of which some 190 have iightkecpers; the remainder function automatically. These light stations display a to- fill of approximately 360 lights. 21 power machinery fog alarm stations operated by a principal keeper and one or two assistants. 2500 harbour buoys of various types. maint:-ffncd by some 90 contractors. no large steel coastal buoys. some of which are lighted. eome'combined light and sound- slgnal equipped. and some with Radar reflectors. These are' main- tained by the Agency steamers. Nine radio beacon stations, which. although under the radio branch for personnel administration and mechanical equipment mainten- ance, are structurally maintained. and supplies and provisions are

assembled. transported. and land- ed by. the Charlottetown Agency.
The Agency has some 2'lb-pub- lic wharves in the area under its jurisdiction. for administration purposes and for the collection of wharfage dvues. Some '15 of these wharves have Wharlingers. Also. there are some 24 public harbours, of which some 15 are shipping centers and are supervised by Harbour Masters. These figures do not include the many scores of small boat hanbours under the jurisdiction of the Agency. re- quirin-g aids to navigation, super- vision and inspection.
All lightetations. public wharv- es. public harbours. iand all ll'ld'i" vidual markers maintained under contract. are inspected every year. In addition to the avbovc. there are inspections. investigations. and reports made for special conditions. such as new side to navigation for lights and buoys. harbour condi- tions, wrecks. obstructions. and dangers to navigation. The light equipment, fog alarm machinery. etc, are serviced, repaired as re- quired and checked for efficiency by the Agency mechanical staff annually.
The Supply Prohlrm
Annual supplies for maintenance and repairs are assembled at the Agency Stores depot on the Ma- rine Wharf, Charlnlleiown. These supplies are inadcd by our Stores branch on the two regular supply steamers. the C.G.S. ”Bi-ant" and ilie C.G.S. fsaurel" for distribu- tion to the various stations.
in addition to the i'c;.vular' Ag- ency steamers, assistance in handling a. supply irip. pari.iculai'- ly in the late fall. has been un- dertaken ihesc last two years by C.G.S. "C. D. linwc." These sup- plies to maintain the light sla- tions are landed with small boats on open shores and beaches. very frequently with great difficulty under adverse sea and weather conditions.
Some seventy-five or more dwelling houses in addition to the lighthouses. fog alarm buildings, store shcds. etc. are maintained by the gcncy to shelter the liglitkecpcrs and their families in the more remote and isolated sec- tions of the coast.
isolated stations in Newfoundland and northern locations. it is he- cessary io assemble and deliver by supply steamer all of the per-
wsii as the Depurtrriental lup- piies. This requires the handling of all provisions. fuel, clothing. drugs and, indeed, everything to maintain life for months of isola- tion. .
It is fair to say that this Agen- cy is unique in the extent and importance of this problem. and the difficulties involved in carry- ing it out. . In addition to the regular maintenance and supply prob- lems. this Agency has the prob- lem of building various struct- ures such as lighthouses, "small landing docks. fog alarm plant.-, radio beacon stations. dwelling houses. and the installation of
