Songln Praise 0f P.E.l. Composed By Dr. Macleod

A glowing tribute to Prince Ed- ward Island in verse and music has been composed by Dr. Kenneth I. E. MacLeod, of the Provincial San- atoriurn staff. A native of Scotland. Dr. MacLeod has visited three other continents-Asia, Africa and Europe-and states that he has seen nothing more delightful than this Island ovince in its early summer garb.

I-Iis song in praise of the Island la entitled “Abegwelt, or Th_e Isle on the crested Wave“ and reads as follows:

‘Twas wondrous bright the Island moon. When with you, I walked alone. ‘Midst Charlottetown‘: fair parks ' and lanes. All alone with thee; In Abegwelfa lovely Island garden, There, as some fair gem, I found you. shining, ‘ And now forever more I'd walk All alone with thee.

Aa fair an Isle as eye could see, Cartier said, a long time ago; The Indians named you Abegweit. Isle on the created wave.

Like all, who fell for your great enchantment,

Like unto those, I fell in love with thee. .. ..

Moat gracious Garden of the Gulf. Island of the sea.

From Summerside to Rustico, - To Keppoch‘; beach, or Borden's

‘Hove, Or maybe, to Anne's gabled home. Where'er I roam o'er thee: So from thy lips thine entrancing

story

In sweetest tones. "D5015"! "W" to nie,

And here, in peace. I'll m" l0 dwell,

Sweet Isle, my home to be. Nor day may come, nor night may

go.

Th“ I pray .. .. please hear my prayer. .. .-

And when ‘tls time to INK! 0i" partial’. f When on that long trail. We. B" ° us, must go. .. ..

The reduction in spawning areas is most serious if sea-run patents are necessary for sea-rim progeny. but of much less significance if the sea-run group is obtained from the stock of young trout in the streams. irrespective of parentage.

An investigation was begun in 1948 at Ellcrslie Brook, P.E.I. to assess the effect of pond format- ion upon the trout population of a stream system, to study the re- lationship between the sea-run and brook populations, and to gain
