HALIFAX, (CP)-Halifax At- lantics and Charlottetown Island- ers battled to a 4-4 overtime tie in a penalty-ridden Maritime Major Hockey League encounter here Saturday night.

e result made no difference in the late-season point race. It will take a victory or a Charlottetown loss to clinch the title for the league-leading Atlantics who hold an eight-point margin over the Islanders. .

Hugh Campbell shot a pair of goals in the second period to tie it up after Charlottetown had tak- en a 3-1 lead. Buck Whitlock and Bill Ford traded tallies in the third to send the game into extra min- utcs. ,

"In a single decade Canada's population has increased by 21.5 per cent, while the United Church of Canada. has advanced in num- bers by 30 per cent." said Rev. Malcolm C. Macdonald in addres- sing a large representation from the city and pastoral charges near Charlottetown. in Heartz Hall on Saturday afternoon.

Another item of importance to all farmers of Canada is the mat- ter dealing wlth income tax. The brief suggested that a bona fie transfer of a farm or farm equip- ment to a son or daughter or the farmer should be treated the same as a transfer to any other buyer with respect to depreciation for income tax purposes.

The brief states it is the belief of farmers that the costs of clear- ing and breaking bush and forest land for agricultural purposa is just as much a cost of developing natural resources as the costs in- volved in exploration for gas, oil and minerals. Because of this the Federation asks that such clearing and breaking be considered at de- ductible fami expense.

TUESDAY

The Charlottetown Islanders and "Buck" Whitlock made the most of the "Whitlock Night" celebrations last night to defeat the Sydney Millionaires 8-6 in a free scoring game at the Charlottetown Forum before a crowd of about 2400 fans.

Whitlock had himself a banner night in a hockey as well as a. mat- erial sense when he scored one goal and assisted on three more. His goal, near the mid-way mark of the third period, brought the Islanders into a draw with Sydney while his fqur points increased his lead over Billy WaLson in the point parade to 10.

Legislation extending the pre- sent boundaries of the City of Charlottetown to include the whole of the incorporated village of Parkdale together with a por- tion of the Spring Park area is recommended in the report of Judge C. St. Clair Tralnor, Com- missioner appointed by the Prov- incial Government to inquire into the Parkdale water supply prob- leni.

The report, tatbled yesterday in the Legislature, states that in the Commissioners opinion, "the only satisfactory solution of the prob- lem of health and convenience facing the fringe area and the problem of health alone facing the City of Charlottetown occas- ioned by the lack of a safe water supply in the fringe area is the extension of the present City boundaries followed by the sup- plying of the fringe area with the normal city services."

Wide expansion in public health activities during the past year jg shown in a detailed interim report of the Health Branch, Department of Health and Welfare, which was tabled in the Legislature yesterday by the Minister, Hon. A. W. Motili- eson.

The report, which covers the period ending Dec. 31, 1952, strong- ly recommends that two suitable medical doctors receive special training in public health and be employed. one to operate out of the central office sewing the eastern part of the Province, the other out of Sum-merside sewing the western portion. If suita-ble staff could be procured to work under the direc- tion of these officers, an excelle L service could be provided through- out the, Island,

The "Chinese Bridge" came into prominence again yesterday when Mr. R. R. Bell, Leader of the op- position, asked Premier J. Walter Jones when it was bought and how much it cost. The questions were tabled in the Lt, .ure and were answered by the leader of the Government.

The bridge was purchased June 2. 1951, and was bought by the pound at a total cost of 8469.066. No other payments have been

Three spans were sold to the Canadian National Railway with one span, not yet delivered nor paid for, being sold to a. Toronto firm. The Premier statrri that plans had not yet been finalized regard- ing the possible use of any such bridge or steel in this Province. The Islanders great centre-lcc star Roy -irl3uclr' Whitlock was hon- ored last night by hockey fans throughout Prince Edward Island and the Maritimes in an impress- ive hockey ceremony that far sui- passed anything of its kind ever staged in the Maritime Provinces. Approximately 2400 fans were on hand to honor the Charlottetown born hockey player and to see riini being honored by civic and hockey dignitaries during a lialf-hour "Whitlock Night" ceremony be- tween the second and third periods of the islanders-Millionaires game at the Forum.

A large assortment of giltsrang- ing from a 1953 Ford Tudor Main- liner from "Buck's supporters throughout the Maritlmes to a cart for his young son Bobby were pre- sented to the Whitlock family ill a cremony that certainly reflected much credit on the committee who organized the event.

Five young ladies received the holy habit of the Sisters of St. Martha in a reception ceremony at the Mother House, Mount st. Mary's, yesterday morning. His Excellency Bishop Boyle officiated in the presence of a large gather- ing of relatives and friends. The sermon was preached by Rev. S. Moors, 0.S.A.

These young women. who by putting on the religious dress. took the first important step in their chosen career of a consecrated service, were given the follow- ing religious names: Miss Anna Ti-ainor. Sister Mary Wilfred; Miss Marjorie Deveaux. Sister George Marie: Miss Clara Pineau, Sister Eric Grace; Miss Mary Maclnnis, Sister Francis Adele; Mliss Ther- ese. Currie, Sister Mary Clare.

SYDNEY, (CP) -- Charlottetown Islandem kept alive their drive for first place in the Maritime Major Hockey League here Tuesday night when they wiped out an early 3-I Sydney lead and went on to an 8-4 triumph in the last. meeting of these two teams this season.

Roy Buck Whitlock, honored with a Whitlock Night by Char- lottetown fans Monday night, con- tinued his fast scoring pace and moved nearer the circuit point crown by sniping two goals and picking up three assists.

Bullet Bob Gray also had a. pair of goals for the Islanders with singles going to George McLagan who had .9. four-point night, Wal- ter Pawlyshyn, Lyle Wisem-an and Marcel Clements.

"It is strange that the two larg- est Districts in Prince and Queen's Counties, summer-side and Char- lottetown have no representation in the Cablnet," stated Mr. W. 1". A. Stewart. Liberal Member for the First District during his speech on the Draft Address last night.

He noted that junior member for Charlottetown is eligible foija Cabinet post and that he would re- ceive one at some future date. However, Mr. Stewart thought that the Charlottetown representative was better off out of the Cabinet at. the present time as he like some ex-ministers were too strong in their opinions to hold a. post for a long period.

The steady growth in the hirin- ber of users of electricity, especial- ly in rural areas, in recent years was highlighted by Hon. A. W. Mairheson. Minister of Health and Weffsre, when he rose to resume his part in the Draft Address-de- bate in the Legislature ywterday.

Hon. Mr. Martheson pointed out that while city users had increas- ed approximately 1.500-in numiber in it thirteen year period. rural users had jumped from 861 to 4.- 944. He estimated there were abou't 7,000 homes needing electricity where there would be only two families to the mile and another 5,000 with a population density of four to the mile.

The Minister said that rural electrification is' a very important question 'to the people. the Govern- ment, the Public Utilities Commis- sion and the Maritime Electric Company. While he believed elec- tricity had to be provided he fore- saw that it. would oobt u. lot of mo ey. He was inclined to agree wit other speakers who believed that private enterprise would be the source of "power. However, he ergireued the opinion that of the manyyebemee advanced and select- ed phould be carefully studied,

A suggestion that the Provincial Department of Industry and Nat-

wlthout portfolio. also suggested that in certain areas, such as Basin Head and Murray Harbour. a limtl of six miles be laid down. He said that while the Government can make rules and regulations for our draggers. Federal legislation is needed to control draggers from other Provinces. ,

THURSDAY

--Starting from a grass fire. the Brae Roman Catholic Chnpel was damaged yesterday afternoon about 4.30 when the flames bumed into the walls and up the inside of the building, making a hole about five feet square before being extinguish- ed by the O'Leary Fire Dept. and nearby residents,

If the Public Utilities Board would notify his department when they were ready to proceed with installations for telephone or electric light service he would see that every obstijuct.lon- would be out of their way in time, stated Hon. Dougald Macxinnon. Min- ister of Public Works and High- ways, in speaking in the Draft Ad- dress debate in the Legislature yes- terday. . The Minister said he had receiv- ed many petitions and delegations asking for widening of specific roads as a preliminary to provid- ing these facilities. ”I promise that no one will be held up for neces- sary services by our department," he said.

No Federal aid in extending the runway facilities at the Charlotte- town airport will be forthcoming unless the City assumes the full responsibility for operation and maintenance, it was revealed last night by Coun. Edwin Johnstone, Acting Mayor at the adjourned monthly meeting of the City Council.

While no formal resolution was adopted, the members of the Coun- cil voiced strong objection in- dividually to this proposal, and agreed to meet as a body to pre- sent the matter before the Prov- incial Government, with a view to obtaining support in emphasizing the importance of the project from an interprovinclal transportation standpoint.

"In the past. few years the dairy industry has been subjected to the most vicious propaganda and an attempt by a few big business con- cerns to rob 455.000 farm families of a just living." declared Mr. R. A. Profitt, President of the P. E. I. Dalrymen's Association, in com- men-ting on the campaign for mar- garine and other -heap butter sub- stitutes at the Association's annual meeting yesterday.

"I say propaganda." Mr. Profitt added. "for the introduction of these cheap substitutes did not originate from any spontaneous demand on the part. of the people, but was instigated by well-organ- ized and powerfully directed propa- garifa on the part of those who saw a chance to make enormous sums of money. If this were not so. how can you account for the failure of this to become a political issue in one of the largest cities of Canada with over a million populations, namely the city of Montreal.

Miss' Frances Pendergast, 16, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Pcndergast, Kensington, has been chosen to represent Prince Ed- ward Island as one of a group of 50 teen-age girls from all parts of Canada who will spend more than a month in Great Britain this summer as guests of Mr. Garfield Weston. The announce- ment was made in the Legislature yesterday by Premier Jones.

The group will sail for Eng- land, May 22, on the Empress of France and will spend a month in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland touring famous cities and towns. In addition, the Canadian girls will spend several days in London at the Coronation with a similar group of 50 British girls who will be coming to Canada as Mr. Weston's guests.

FRIDAY

The need existing for special treatment centres for cerebral pal- sy sufferers and retarded children was 2-utlined to men-ibers of the Leglslatuve yesterday afternoon as two groups combintd to present briefs prior to the opening of the session

The main brief was presented by Mrs. Dan Farquharson. Char- lottet.own RR. 9, a member of the recently formed Cerebral Palsy Parents organization. Represent- ing the Parents' Council for me- tarded Chiidren was Mrs. Stewart Pierce. In the age group from one year to 16 there are pruently 60 active cases of cerebral plasy be- ing treated at the Red Cross.some of them are also mentally retard- ed. Just how many it is difficult to say as occasionally several treatments or examinations are necessary to determine the mental state.

In R. brief discussion of the

cnaaaorrarown

briefs presented Dr. w. J. 2. Mac- Millsn said that the nod Orouvvu

doing all it possibly could for these t pea but was not to do ii that is required.- He thought. too, that a small centre should be started bent to aid the children and suggested to Hon. A. W. Matheson that a close penisal of the health grants receive” from Ottawa might show some funds not now being usec which could be transferred for this purpose.

Hon. Mr. Matheson agreed that it was possible am. uh. investigate the matter.

College students. school children

and a smattering of older folk on- joyed a rare treat outside Old Spain yesterday afternoon, and it was not ice cream, but their first sight of I couple of baby seals. The week-old pure white well furred babies were having a snack of smelts followed by a chaser of milk from a regula- tion baby's bottle complete with standard equipment. The young visitors were picked up at the Magdalen Islands yester- day morning when Captain Trainor dropped dowm on Grindstone and Amherst Islands while on a routine ice patrol trip. Mr. Joseph DiGia- cinto, one of the olificers aboard the plane, is the proud owner of the seals, which he has been as- sured by the game warden on the Magdalens can survive in captivity on land for at least a year, accord- ing to his experience. The owner stated they were brought here as a gift for a certain young lady.

The difficulty of keeping veter-

inarians operative here was stress- ed by Hon. C. C. Baker, minister of Agriculture, in his speech dur- ing the Draft Address debate in the Legislature on Wednesday. Greater flna "al returns in other places induced veterinarians to leave posts in this Province and he spoke of the possibility of losing practitioners in the O'Leary and Souris areas. On the latter point he was assured by Mr. William Acorn, First Kings, that the prac- titioner was ”very happy" in his post and would remain. However, Dr. Mustard, serving the 0'Leary district at present, had a lucrative offer to enter private practice i- Halifax and was expected to depart in May. But the Minister said that Dr. George Fisher, in charge of Veterinary Services in this Province. had several applications and it was ex- pected that a new veterinary sur- geon would be in ')'Leary by the time Dr. Mustard left. He also complimented Dr. Fisher on the excellence of the job he has been doing here.

..'That the inalter of rural elec- trification was a hot question in his district was an under-state- ment. It was sizzling, stated Mr. William Acorn, 1st King's, final speaker in the Draft Address de- bate ln the Legislature Wednes- day night.

In the course of his speech, Mr. Acorn suggested that the Depart- ment of Industry and Natural Resources might give some con- sideration to the establishment of a brewery. He noted the alarm expressed by some speakers over the increase in liqruor purchases for i-he month of Febniary. This might be explained, he thought. by the fact that last year there was a heavy snowfall, and "the boys realized they could not get to town," and the Mounties were unable to see them. They made their own brew. This year it was being bought legally. In refer- ence to the brewery, Mr. Acorn said they had good water in his district and they could provide a good brewmaster. This would give employment and better than sending money away. It was done before and could be done again. A good export trade might even result. he felt.

"what would they feed pigs on?" queried the Premier.

, "Mash," was the retort.
