Governor T. W. I... Prowse

in this. my first New Year's Message to the people of Prince Edward Island. I take pleasure in wishing all citizens of the province a prosperous and happy New Year. May it be a prelude to a half century of great achievement 'and progress in our Province and Dominion. Let us look forward to the New Year with hope and confidence that

the intelligent and honest efforts.

put forth by the United Nations in the cause of peace will pre- tail. and that 1951 will bring us -,. continuance of the many good things that make for our further advancement and happiness. May Divine Providence attend the de- liberations of the United Na- lions and restore to our troub- lcd and chaotic world Peace and Goodwill to all men.

we would indeed be ungrate- ful in this Island Province if we rould not see evidence on all Cides of God's Providence during me past year, Bountiful harvests from farm and sell have been our lot, and our heartfelt thanksgiv- .ng should go out to Him who has made these things possible. slay we continue not only to en- joy these blessings so lavishly bestowed upon us but to grate- fully remember the source from

New Currie Bldg. To Be Occupied in Month's Time)

The new Currie Building on the corner of Queen and Kent Streets will be occupied in approximately one month's time by the Robinson Su.ppiies4Ltd.. of Kentviiie. NS.

The entirely new brick struc- ture is one of the most attractive in Charlottetown's business sec- tion. and has been constructed un- der contract by W. J. Henncssev. Basement, first floor and second floor have already been rented. each floor having an area of ap- proximately 60 by 40 feel. The top floor is made up of two sin- gle offices and one triple. and has entrances from both Kent and Queen Streets. '

The smaller offices will he or- cupicd by the Imperial Life and by H. J. A. Brown. 0I'lJi'lOpPdif' chiroopodist. and the large office by MacDonald and Currie, public accountants.

The entire building obtains its heat. from the central heating sys- tem which at present services the other parts of the Currie Block. The main floor is one large room with an eleven foot ceiling. large show windows on two walls. and a staircase at the rear which co - nects with the basement. T e walls in the basement are nine feet, and at the rear are wash- rooms. A novel idea has been introduced in the inserting of glass block panels along the Kent Street side. high in the walls. which perm-it the entry of light from the siareet above. , ,

Robinson Supplies Ltd, who have two other stores in the Mari- time: in addition to their head- quarters in Kentville, will occupy both basement and main floors as they carry on their wholesale and retail automotive parts sup- ply business. At present it is their intention to use the base- ment for storage of parts and tires. and all business will be conducted on the main floor.

Mr. Frank MacDonald of Char- lottetown has been manager of their local office for bhepast year, located in the Carter and Com- pany Storage building on East Grafton. and for five years pre- vlorus to that time represented the company on the road through- out the Province.

Mr. MacDonald states that they hope to -be in the new building by February I. if they are not held up for the new fixtures which are all to be constructed of steel. In addition to handling automotive supplies.- the Robinson Supplies Co.. carries the Spartan radio line, Columbialrecords. Snparton wash- ing machines, radio repair parts and electrical alppllancel.

Mr. St. Laurent said he regretted there had been some misunder- standing caused by the fact. that some men, sent to Korea as an advance party, were returning to this continent to rejoin their own units. ,

He said that if the special force recruited to fight in Korea is still needed there when it. is trained it will be sent to Korea. If it is not needed in Korea, the Government. will have to decide whether it should be sent to Europe.

It was possible that R.C.A.P. units would be put at the disposal of the North Atlantic Treaty organ- ization He thought. there would be a further: appropriation in 1961-52 for arms aid to the North Atlantic partnership.

City Ponce arrested a Charlottetcwn man in connection with last night's break which occurred shortly be- fore ten o'clock. Access was at- mmpted through a rear window. the same method tried on the pre- vious thrce occasions.

The following notice appeared as a front page editorial in a rec- ent issue of the Sydney Post Rec-

ord.

"It is with considerable reluctance that this paper informs its readers today that beginning the first of the year, the price of The Post- I-iiecord will be increased from 25 to 30 cents in weekly subscribers, and from 37.00 to 0.00 per year by mail. This action has been made necessary by'the latest rise in the cost of newsprint, and by the gtggd. tly increasing costs of operations and materials that go into the manufacture of a newspaper.

"As a. matter of fact, the increased price has been long overdue. For some time past. the net return in this paper from circulation has not been sufficient to pay for the news- print alone used in the public- ation of the paper.

”"Since 191.1. when the price of the delivered paper was increased to B5 cents per week,-the price of newsprint has practically doubled. and the successive rises in news- print prices in the past seven years have up to now been totally ab- sorbed by this paper. Even with the increased charge which goes into effect next Tuesday, the price of the daily paper has not kept

Sydney Paper Follows Others In Increase

pace with the advances in the cost of living or with the increased cost of any other article or commodity.

"The Post-Record is not the first paper to increase its price to sub- scribers. Many papers in Canada made this move several months ago. and now there are more than 40 daily papers in Canada who have established a. weekly delivered price of 80 cents per week.

"Only last week the Halifax paper announced its increase to the same figure, to take effect next Tuesday. the same day as The Post-Record. Before many weeks have passed, it is most li-kely that every daily in Canada will have increased its rates to subscribers.

"The price of this paper on the street will remain the same. at 5 cents per copy. subscribers who enjoy the added convenience of having The Post-Record delivered to their homes will pay the same daily rate, or 30 cents per week, although it will mean an' extra charge to them of 5 cents a week. This paper would ask our subscrib- ers to go along with the increase. keeping in mind that the action has not been taken voluntarily, but has been made absolutely necessary by greatly increased costs of ma- terials and manufacture."

Freon His Worship. Mayor B. Earle MacDonald.

Once again it is my happy pr-iv. 11886 to convey to the citizens of Charlottetown on behalf of the Council and myself hearty New Year Greetings. with all best wishes for 1951.

Dining the past year our City has been a happyplace in which to live. It is my sincere wish that He who has guided our destiny so far will continue to do so to the advance- ment and progress of us all.

The international outlook is not brigiht. However by working har- moniously together for the com- mon good of all. we as a. commun- ity by precept and example can contribute much towards peace, goodwill and a better understanding among mankind.

We have much to be thankful

for and it is in a spirit of confid.

Mayor Extends Hearty Greetings For New Year

Mayor MacDonald

The year 1950 has been one of unprecedented activity in building and improving schools in this Prov- ince, states I-Ion. F. A. Large. Min- ister of Education. Government grants-in-aid ocupled with a. stead- ily increasing interest on the part of the people have given a great. impetus to the provision of better school facilities for children and teachers. During the year the fol- lowing districts either completed new schools or have buildings near- lng completion: The numerals in brackets indicate the number of rooms or departments if more than one. Brockton, Alberton South (2), Elmsdale. Auburn, Abrams village (4). Emyvaie (2). York (2), Mel'- maid, New Glasgow, Alberry Plains. Granville. Monticello. st. Peter's South (2). In Unit No. 1 new build- ings were erected at East Ricyalty (3). West Royalty (2), Central Roy- alty (4). Winsloe (3).

The R.C.A.F. Station in Sum- merslde also provided additional school accommodation. Additional classrooms were provided in Sum- mers-ide, Montague. Ncrth Tryon, St. Peter's Lake. Miuview and St. Felix.

Approzdmately 200 districts took advantage of departmental assist- ance to make substantial improve- ments such as remodelling of build-

ings. new furniture, enlarged grounds. painting. etc. Improved toilet facilities has

been one of the major problems facing those who administer rural schools. A type of indoor toilet has been selected and it gives promise of being a satisfactory solution to this extremely difficult problem. These toilets pr ed to be singularly succcessful in other provinces and are firmly backed by the guarantee of the firm producing them. since May approximately 100 districts have installed these. again -with financial assistance from the De- partment. As yet not a single com- plaint has been lodged with the Department in regard to the func- tioning of this equipment.

As provided for in Legislation en- acted in 1048 and 1949. a Valuation Board was appointed by the Lieut- enant-Ciovemcr-in-Council for the purpose of making an equitable and uniform valuation of all real prop- erty within school districts taxable for school purposes. The services of this Board which are made av- ailable to schocl districts requesting the some have become increasingly popular. Already revaluation in 60 districts has been completed and there is at present a waiting list of approximately 15 districts.

Teacher Problem

The teacher situation remains dif- ficult. It is gratifying to be able to report. thtat at the time of writ- ing only one district. qualified to operate a school. in the province is without a teacher and this district. has the promise of s teacher's ser- vices beginning January .1. We are still obliged. however. to issue a considerable number of permits. The wastage from the profession each year continues to be high. A substantial increase in the number

Unprecedented Activity in Schoolllnprovement

College in September can be re- pcrted but there is need for still more to care for the annual wast- age.

The average salary for all teach- ers in the Province in now 31,180.00. This represents a considerable in- crease. The salaries now received could be considered satisfactory from the standpoint, of those en- terlng the profession. They are nct sufficient. however. to retain young people in the ranks for more than a few years.

Steady progress was made dur- ing the year in'effccting necessary changes and additions to the Course of Studies. Mr. Macxcnzie, Chief Supervisor of Schools, rwcrldng with teachers and others, gave consider- able time and attention to this im- portant phase of departmental ac- tivity. Next. to the teacher, the Course of Studies and the text books used by the children are of para- mount importance.

The Vocational School issued its first prospectus dul'lng the summer dealing with the courses for the session 1950-51. These courses are growing in popularity as they be- come known throughout. the coun- try, and it. is quite evident that the Vccational School can fill the long felt want in the educational program offered to the youth uI Dill" province.

School Unit No. l, the first larger administrative unit in the Prov- ince. has functioned in a moat. sat.- isfactory manner. The temporary. appcinted Board, which made such an excellent beginning with the administration matters within the unit. was replaced in June by an elected Board as provide:l for in the School Law. This latter Board has done an enormous amount of work in arranging for new school buildings, improved salary scales fcr teachers and generally in pro- viding superior type of school ser- vice for the children within the boundaries of the unit. The larger unit of administration has lcng since passed the experimental stage and we look forward to it function- ing as satisfactorily in this Prov- ince as elsewhere.
