In Section 8 it states. "service as traffic may errant". Mr. Donald advised e shippers oi Province to give this para- graph very careful consideration and study

Section 9 says that the present bus service is iving service the year round to al areas on Prince Edward, Island now served by the railway. "What about the sta- tions up West? And the other stations on the island now serv- ed any the railroad and by the Lil.

He noted from press reports that the operating deficit in the car ferry service at Borden and Tormentine-is about half million dollars annually. "If we were to grant the request of the C.N.It. to abandon paasenge train net'- vice on e Island. how do we know the the management won't be back in the next few years seeking um i ' h d the car ferry services at Borden and turn it over to the Northumber- land services and thereby save the half million.”

PUBLIC INTEREST

In Section 17 it states that the granting of this application will be in the publlc's best interest. Who ever heard of a public ser- vice being discontinued no mat- ter how poor. in the best of the public?

Mr. MacDonald recalled that when the Borden-Tormentine ferry rates were lowered in 1941. the automobile traffic increased from 25,000 to 46.000. in 1948. passeng- ers from 151,000 to 185.000. With new boats on this run, the rail- way cars handled have trebled

over the past 8) years. This all

liepls to add to the revenue of the C.N.R and the people of this Province. nd this by improve- ment not by curtailment.

"It is a very easy matter". Mr. MacDonald said. "for some- one who receives about 350.000 and expenses and perhaps more. to say that the people of the Island have left the railways as far as passenger travel is con- cerned and we have lost 3100.000 by them so doing. But I want to say in all fairness to the peo- ple of this Province that they never left the railways. The op- posite is the true picture of the thing. The railways left them

sitting on the cold seats of their passenger cars so long that they

had no alternative but to leave them. So I say. who left who? go to Tignish from Charlottetown as

it would take a person from Que- bec Province to go from Montreal to Ottawa. and the same is true on the Murray Harbour route.

as we have that body of water between us and the mainland we will never be considered a part of it. I believe that every mem- bcr of this Assembly should do everything in his power to tell the powers how they feel about this newest discrimination. WOOD ISLANDS SERVICE

Mr. MacDonald went on to ex- press his appreciation of the Federal Transport Minister's an- nouncement last year that his de- partment intended to build a new ferry for the Wood Islands route. As he had stated many times in the House, no private company would have the capital to do this; and he knew the present operators of this service could not spend the money that is needed to make the service what it should be for the travelling public. He felt sure that with the added improvement. the public will be served as faithfully with its present employees as in the past. and that it will be of Can- ada-wide benefit from a trans- portation standpoint.

He expressed appreciation alsd of the co-operation of the Govern- ment in the assistance offered to the people of Spring Park and

arkdalc in solving their pro- b cm of water supply and sewage disposal. It is necessary that the top level of government interest itself in the affairs of its com- munities, especially in facilities of this kind, which are closely associated with the health and happiness of all our people. He was convinced that a good start has been made and that some- thing will come of it.

"Another problem that has been giving concern to the people in this area surrounding the City is Education". Mr. MacDonald added. "The people in Unit 1 and 2 are now faced with the neces- sity of more classrooms and it is thought by the Trustees in this area that a separate high school to serve the whole dis- drict would be the best idea. I have heard many different op- inions expressed and I think the best way to find out just what the people want would be by ballot where the majority rule. If this had been done when the unit was first started there would be very little to complain about today. I have every faith in the elected trustees and I know how they feel in accepting the res- ponsibility of acting on behalf of the entire community."

In his opening remarks the Minister. who represents the Fifth District of Queens. refer- red to the Charlottetown cen- tennial celebration and made re- ference to the achievements of earlier citizens. to the import- ancc of the city as the capital of the Province and to its pro- gress and development. He also

limenied the Mayor and members of the City Council. the chairman of the Centennial com- mittee and all concerned in the

success of the centennial program.

At this point Dr. MacMillan stopped to ask the Health Minister whether patients who come to the Mental Health Clinic are' exam- ined free? and can they be charg- 3d'I

To the first question, Mr. Mac- Donald anawered Yes. and to the second No. He added "There is nothing to stop a person paying the doctor if he so chooses.”

Dr. MacMillan felt that all who could afford to pay. should pay. He noted that the Government was able to collect 375.000 from patients' fees at Falconwood but he believed that there were a number of patients at the San- atorium who, if they were not re- celving active treatment should be discharged. "This." he said. "would make room for some of the polio patients who so badly needed care and treatment," Dr. Gencheff of the Polio Clinic came in for some high praise from Dr. MacMillan who said that he had seen him operate and that his work was of the highest calibre.
