Ellis Plea For . Understanding, from Teachers

Dr. L.W. Shaw, last night in his discussion with church school teachers stressed individual differ- ences in children. Church school classes are small and for this rea- son teachers can study and know each child, and as a result some means of help can be found. A spe- cial understanding of the child who learns to read slowly, and of the child who has difficulty with words is needed. Newer methods of teaching in the church school give the child a variety of ways" of ex- pressing himself - older methods used words almost entirely. newer methods use drawing, modeling. m-amatizlng. These will make rhurch school teaching more ef- KPCVJVC.

Dr. Shaw's use of numerous stor- ies from his own experience to ll- lustrate the various points added much interest to the discussion.

Counter attractions whittled the number of the group to twenty-two, but those attending felt well re- t-xarded. The srvurp will meet in lit-artz Hall next week.

Regarding the Civil Service Act I-lon. A. W. Matheeon said that it was being introduced because previous acts created difficulty in dlfiferentintlng between temporary and casual employees. He said the minor changes had been fully con- sidered by the Government and employees.

Pickup Expected in Employment

Officials of the Charlottetown National Employment office have noted first indications that the winter-long period of seasonal un- employment is showing some signs of ending.

A half dozen men have com- menced work on cleaning buoys on the Marine Wharf for the Depart- ment of Transport. preparing for the opening of navigation. This is an annual task. and is being un- dertaken earlier than usual this year, because of the mild winter and the possibility that shipping will be able to move freely within a short time.

Another tip-off pointing to an early resumption of employment is the receipt of an order by the 10- cal employment office for girls to carry out preliminary preparations at a lobster packing establishment.

some business, firms also are engaging salesmen either through the National Employment Office or on their own initiative.

Both showings were attended by capacity audiences, testifying to the tremendous popularity of the Spring Fashion show, which has

Gives Experience In Malay Jungle

"Food is the all important fac- tor in the fight against Commun- ism, you cannot do much with a hungry man". said Lt. Cmdr. Bar- bour. R.C.N., naval overseer in charge of refitting and altering the naval vessel in port here.

The speaker, who had been in the colonial service for many years, was addressing the Rotary Club at their regular weekly meeting at the Charlottetown Hotal yesterday noon on his twenty-iwo years experience in Malay as an engineer.

He described the waste and rot- ten jungle land covering some 500 square miles which today has been, to the extent of 100 square mile transformed into rich rice hearing'land. representing a large portion of the total rice produc- ing area of the Federation.

The Drainage and Irrigation De- partment began this tremendous project in 1930 with a survey that was carried on over a per- iod of three years under heart- breaking conditions. Surveyors and labour forces worked in six monthly courses and were then withdrawn for three months re- cupcration.

A coastal bund to protect the area from tidal waters and the construction of headworks on the Sungl Tlnggl plus the cutting of 300 miles of main drain and dis- lributory canals and the making of a vast number of control points. were the first items to be contended with.

Hugo Undertaking

5000 tons of concrete and ma- chinery up to 10 tons. including 30 excavators were taken,apIrt and carried up the river: by Ian- pans and then re-assembled. Six dredges were built in Scotland and knocked down for transports- tion. then put together on lo- cation. all of which required much time and infinite patience. The parts were conveyed through the jungle on rollers after a path had been cut by the natives. In many cases the equipment when assembled. bogged down in the peat areas out at sight and had to be dug out in sections and re-assembled on firm land.

"After the war." Commander Barbour said. "we found the bunds had been destroyed by elephants and when we started to rebuild. they rake our work down each nigh as rapidly as we went ahead with it. Finally we organized hunting parties and eventually made such inroads on the heavy game that the trouble was eliminated." Tigers and cm- codiles were slso I constant men- ace. especially the latter who after disposing of several natives, became sacred and as such could not be killed off without consid-

erable opposition by the pop- ulsce. "Rehabilitation having been

The show opened with Miss Velma Carmody modelling a style which has sprung into sudden popularity this spring-the match box suit, with youthful jacket of grey and cream check, and a solid grey skirt. This style was also shown in a pert model for teen- agers. with a rose wool jacket and matching skirt in French repp, worn by Miss Connie Chandler.

A number of conventional dress- maker suits, always popular and practical. were shown, and the suit in combination with matching or contrasting cape, coat or Jacket was featured. one outstanding model was a suit with jacket of rose poodle cloth. pencil slim navy

Premier Replies To Queries Re Killing Plant J

The subject of a public killing plant for this city was in the foreground again yesterday when Premier J. Walter Jones answer- ed a question asked by Mr. Frank Myers. The member from First Queens asked if at committee from the Federation of Agriculture had waited on the Government to discuss the' matter. He also asked if the committee had re- quested Government aid in es- tablishing such a plant, the amount of the loan asked and whether or not the Government intended to give the aid request- ed.

In his reply in the Legislature yesterday the Premier said the Government had such a request for aid in the amount of 520,000 of which the answer said most was to equip a building owned by Woodrow Wheatley. He said it was not the intention of the Gov- ernment to grant the aid request- ed as a letter from the Govern- ment to the committee had sug- gested that a representative com- pany, including a. minimum num- ber of members of the Feder- ation, should be formed with no one of them to hold a majority of the shares of the company.

A letter of February 26. 1953. addressed to the Premier and Ex- ecutiva Council. which was not read in the Legislature yesterday. stated that at present the Farm- ers' Abbatolr Co. Ltd.. incorporat- ed for 560.000 is owned by Mr. Woodrow Wheatley. The letter stated that to put the plant in operation on behalf of the public the committee was asking the Government for s10,000 to be covered by a first mortgage on the plant. The letter states that a company would be organized and enough share capital sub- scribed before the Government would be slked to make the loan. The letter also stated that the company would be set up along the lines suggested to the dele- gation in the letter from the Government.

Last night Mr. Wheaiiey said that he agreed to change his vot- ing power to either four or five votes on the shares he possessed.

"The settlers are not dependent solely upon their rice production -the entire area has been found in be suitable to :ho cultivation of such off season crops as- maize, tapioca, sweet poi. scya beans. golscco and vegetables-and the cash yields are considerable. Poultry, goats and cattle are also reared and prove to be both pop- ular and lucrative undertakings.”
