Causeway Proposal Backed By,S'side Board'O.f Trade

Support for the proposed cause- way between Prince Edward Is- :and and New B. swick was pledged by the Summerside Board at Trade last evening at the 56th annual meeting of the Board, fol- lowing I B ' ii--v en- tirely of Island products served against a background display of Island products attractively ar- ranged beneath a colorful banner which read, "Buy Prince Edward Island Products and Support Is- land Industry".

Discussion of the proposed cause- way was opened by Mr. J. Frank Arnett. during a question period which followed an address by Mr. Nelson Mann, executive manager of the Atlantic Provinces Econo- mic Council. ,

Mr. Arnett referring to the in- terest taken in current reports re- garding the possibility of a per- manent transportation link with the mainland, stressed the import- ance of this matter to residents of this Province and urged every cl- tizen to speak and work for its reality on every occasion.

Mr. L. R. Allen referred to the interest that prevailed in such a proposal during the past years, and recalled that a survey for a proposed tunnel had been made about sixty years ago. He indicat- ed that he had at that time favor- ed the construction of a tunnel as opposed to a causeway, but dur- log the intervening years he had, for various . , changed his opinion on the matter and new con- sidered a causeway as the more suitable transportation link.

After expressing fear that a di- vision oi opinion would destroy the possibility of any definite ac- tion being taken by authorities, Mr. Allen urged unity in the support or a , and t 'u--'- a motion. supported by the retiring president, John Mungall. and un- animously adopted, which placed the support of the-Board behind

Prince Edward Island's oldest resident, Mr. A' trader Cameron, passed away early yesterday af- ternoon at his home in Elmsdale. lie was in his 105th year.

Born at Long River on Christ- mas Day, 1851, he was a son of the late Donald and Margaret (Pickering) Cameron. the last sur- viving member of their family of 12 children.

He had enjoyed good health until last Novemeber when he was sud- denly stricken with a serious ill- ness from which he never fully re- covered.

Mr. Cameron had a remarkable memory and was able to recall living in the now thriving town of Kensington when its population consisted of only four families. He could also recall going west In the days of a gold rush when he visit- ed Wlnnipeg, then a small town.

For a number of years Mr. Ca- meron and his wife operated the Albion Terrace hotel in Alberton. For the past nine years he has resided with his only daughter, Annie, Mrs. Carlyle Bell, in Elm- sdale. His only son. John prede- ceased hlm in 1927 and his wife. the former Flora Ellison of Princelown passed away in 1938.

N. B. Liberals Wani Power Project Probe

FREDERICTON (CP)- Opposi- tion leader A. C. Taylor called Tuesddy for a royal commission investigation into the Beechwood Dower project "from the stand- point of contract awards and polit- ical patronage and favoritism in most of its phases."

The Liberal leader, opening the throne speech debate in the New Brunswick legislature said patron-

age had turned Beechwood "from 8 hydro .power project into a power politics operation."

Mr. Taylor also said that Pre-

mier Hugh John Flemming's Pro-

gressive Conservative government has tr t J business with com- panies in which the premier, who is also public works minister, has been interested variously as pres-

ident, secretary-treasurer and di- rector. These dealings up to March 31 last year had approximated 3100.000 or more.

Earlier in his speech Mr. Tay-

lor said contracts were being com- pleted with companies in which "a cabinet minister is f' interested." All these firms were incorporated, or limited, panics, and the dealings, technic- ally speaking, might be legally proper but the practice should be stopped, be said.

CFA President H. H. Iiannam ex lained later that while the wheat price boost would, if accep- ted, increase costs to Canadian millers by about 30 cents a bushel, it would mean a rise of only one- half cent a loaf to the Canadian housewife.

The federation argued that Cana- dian consumers got wheat at be- low export prices during and im- mediately after the Second World War. Now that farmers' income from wheat sales had dropped sharply, "it would seem reason- able to put the price to the 'domes- tic consumer at an adequate level."

Mr. Hannam, who headed the CFA delegation, said Prime Min- ister St. Laurent and his ministers gave the delegates a good recep- tion and an attentive hearing but there were no indications of what the cabine' will do about the pro- posals.
