Sport from. A Prince County

The summer-aide Ali-Stare have been panned e bit for poor show- iuge in the second. Inner ‘against Borden end Gliaary. After tek- lng Borden ‘l to 1 in the ‘firat contest they won the aecond in e loosely played some by uieocm of 17 to 10. They trounced 0'- Leary 8 to 1 in the opeperbur. bowed in the Query boys ‘i to 6 in the eeoond encounter. People forget that in a home-and-home. Ioais-to-count series it is not two games at all but actually one six- period game. In a series such as this one team gets away out in front they very often take it easy for e while. With not even an individual scoring race at stake it seems natural that the boys should ease up the blister- ing pace when they know that that particular series is in the beg. Just so long ee the boyl Play at their peak when the ohlpe ere really‘ down. nobody» has eeu rigli-t t'o kick. ‘

.

This is not taking anything from the O'Lcary boys who play- ed a fine brandof hockey and won a ‘victory that evidently tickled the home-town supporters noend. They were leaving Sum- merside that evening sitting on top of the hockey world. Every time a rural team defeats a sex- tet frorn the larger centres they deserve lots of credit and such a victory is good for sport. Most fans get a real boost out of seeing the under-dog come through to victory.

I I I

The series between the Char- lottetown Abbies and the Sum- merslde All-Stars has allhockey- fandom by the ears. It is pretty safe to predict that the Crystal Rink will be loaded to the rafters when those two teams tangle for the Island championship. 0m- lo- cal sextet will doubtless be the under-dogs in prc-game prophe- cies but ‘if they're playing their best hockey dont’ sell them short ‘they're nobodys door mats when they are hitting on all cylinders. if you'll excuse the scrambled metaphor. - '

I I I

The chances for success are perhbps a trifle against us in ai‘ three divisions this year, with Charlie Hogan's juveniles having a. little brighter chance to annex an Island title than the midgets and intermediates. Either of the latter two could come, through. however and Summerside fans will be hoping for the best."

I I I ‘

Kensington Juveniles made a real hockey match of it in their second game with the local ju- ieniles at Kensington Saturday right. At one time they were down four goals but roared back to even up the score. Young Jackie Bernard scored two of the Kensiugton goals. The kid has a nice shot and reminds us a little of "Chick" Bernard. his dad when he comes scooting along theboards to fire his shot from the blue-line. "Chick" fooled many a goalie in the olden days with that long shot. Ho was a right winger while the youngster comes zooming in from the other side of the rink.

Gravel Distribution

Mr. Bell eald his district and Queen's County in general had reason to complain of the lack of gravel aupplied- during the years i044. 1M5. and 104G. Under the Gasoline Tax Act all. the revenue received from gasoline tax, amounting to more than half e million dollere annually. ie ear- marked. Ona-fifth of the net in- come must be applied by way o! sinking funds on moneys that are borrowed for road ' improvements, and the balance. which amounts to ‘ tween 8400.000 and 8500.000. mus-t go_ towards the improvement of roads. “I submit that those funds should be equitably distribut- ed. in such a. way that those dis- tricts that contribute chiefly to the fund should have the most money spent on their roads. In 194i Prince County had 118 miles grav- elled. \vh.ile Queen's bed 40. King's received far less than‘ that. In that year 107.792 cubic yards of gravel were used iii -Prinice County, 33,000 in Queens. In 1045 120 7-8 miles ivci-c graveilcd in Princi- County, covering 107,000 cubic yards. Queen's had 41 miles done with only 20.000 cubic yards. In 194-6 Prince County had 121 1-8 miics gravellcd and partly suo- graded. with the use of 85.000 cubic yards, while Queens ‘had 24 mhes done with the use of some 5.000 cubic yards.

"I submit that Queen's County is by far the largest contribute" to the asoline tax, and that the Department of Highways had no right to take these moneys and spend them chiefly in Prince County. In those three years Prince County received 370 miles of gra- vci ivitli. the use of over 3110.000 cubic yards, while Queen's receiv- ed 116 miles with the use of only 67.000 cubic yards, with King's

County away below that of Queen's. Elcetlon Gesture "The Premier has stated that

the point with regard to the Gov ernmentts action in the strike s1‘.- uation last Fall ls that ‘we took the plant over.‘ The senior mom- ar for the Georgetown district says ‘We established a precedent, and it was suggested that this was tho determining factor in ivinning the election on Dec. i1 last. There is the gist of the whole thing, that ‘the taking over of the pack- ing plant illegally was an election gesture. The Government admits that it ivaa a great factor in their being sustained at the polls."

Premier Jones: “I thought that Daylight Saving ivas the factor."

Mr. Bell: “No, I don't think that Daylight saving had any thing to do with it. I feel that the Premier realizes that his Depart- ment of Justice gave liim bad ad~ vice as to their rights in seizing iiiis plant, but 1 believe that he had considerable other advice and that he himself knew better. But he weighed the matter in his mind, whether or not it ivas better to take over the plant and therebv get elected, and forgot all about the pi-inlcplcs of democracy.

"My contention is that a session of the Legislature should have beer- called. The Government then wouii have been clear of the onus of iLs action. It is quite possible that in that case the Opposition would have agreed with them. That, of ooursmwould have taken away an ex- pected to get at the election. There would be nothing to go before the people on. I submit that that is the reason why the l-Iouse was not convened." The Qovernment‘: a".- tion, he added.‘ had resulted in a considerable amount of stiffer- ing end distress.

“There was a greet deal in the press about the wonderful things being done at the packing plant before the election." Mr. Bell con- tinued. “Slnce December 11 I can not find any reports 0f Whit i6 being done under the Government controller. A11 l can see is e no- tice once or twice a week, where the controller is buying 110B! 0n it certain day. I trust before this res- sion is much older that we wli. have e report from the controller or the Government, as to the pro- ceedings."

Premier Jones: "l hone Wu H" able to get your own bacon and sausages."

Mr. Bell: “They era loo expen- sive for me, but. I get elong ti‘ right."

As en- nounoed in the speech, however. there is to be a new P1!" 0! l3‘ seaement. awerently against land That means there is not to be any ggllgf, and possibly the land tax will be heavier than it was before.

Prince 0o. M. P. Prepares To Speak 0n iiraft Address.

OTTAWA. March 2. (Special)- Back in his seat in the House of Conunoris today after a flying trip _to Prince Edward Island, J. Wat~ eon Mec-Naught Liberal member for Prince said he would irrobe- bly leave the honor of speaking on the draft address on behalf of the government for the Province to Dr. T. V. urant, Liberal mem- ber for Kings. Dr. Grant handled in hie name to chief Liberal whip W. G. Weir last night immediately after W. Chester S. McLure, Pro- gressive Conservative member for Queen's had finished his address. He vrill get Mr. Speaker's nod either u the last member tonight or the first tcit-riorrow afternoon.

Shown a press despatch from

Toronto 1n which Dr. J. R. Mutohmor, chairman of the board of evangelism of the United

Church said "Consumption of hard liquor has risen in the Maritime Provinces particularly in Prince Edward Island." Mr. ItfaoNaugl-ii said he would not argue with Ita- tisticzs. ivhich 11o doubt. inspired Dr. Mutchmor‘: comment. lt was true. lie said, that more iittrd. liq- nor had been. sold in 1947 than in previous years iii the Province. but this did not necessarily mean than Prince Edward Islanders had been drinking in increasing num- bers or had been consuming larg- er quantities. The statistics are modified by two facts, one is that due to the efficient enforcement of provincial liquor laws qr the part of the Royal Canadian Mount- ed Police bootieggers on the ls- land have been to a great extent driven out of business. The legal sale of spirits was higher but the illegal sale had been sharply our- tallcd.
