She hoped her children-Prince Charles and Princess Anne - were listening to the message at san- drlngham, 12,000 miles away.

She added that, although "we all want our children at Christmas time . . . I find myself today com- pletely and most happily at home."

Sends Sympathy

A last - n1.in.ute addition to the speech was msde to enable the Queen to express her sympathy with relatives of victims of New Zes.land's Christmas Eve train wreck in which an estimated 166 persons were killed.

Through most of her prepared speech, the queen's voice was con- fident and clear. But when she reached the addition referring to the rail tragedy it wavered with emotion.

The Queen and the Duke of Edin- burgh earlier sttended divine ser- vice in St. Mary's Cathedral, where they stood with the congregation in talent prayer for the crash vic- timl. The monarch more a sim- ple yellow dress. with a white chiffon hat and white accessories

Island Odds And Ends

since the tkaggers started fish- inr out of Souris, the fish pack- ing plants have been hard press- ed on occasion to gather up enough hands to fillet or other- wise make ready for market all the fish being landed. Now that a second large new plant is to start operations there, employment op- portunities will be widened still further and the whole of Eastern Kings County should benefit. Even with Bouris' present faculties for handling fish. it has been necessary at times to transport many men and women daily from as for distant as Morell to keep the plants going. 0 O I

More than two hundred years ago the French pioneers had the idea of making this Island the centre of a great fishing indus- try. It is strange that until re- cent years Islanders have been unable to realize on the possibili- ties the original settlers saw two centuries back.

x

some fishermen bewailed the coming of the iraggers. but far from injuring the industry the

sturdy craft have expanded and encouraged it. The development which has taken place at Bouris has proven the value of the drag- gera. Where a few thousand pounds of fish were being landed weekly many times that amount are be- ing caught daily. and are being processed by modern methods. Where a small number of people were employed ashore, for short and uncertain periods, large crews are now assured of work three or four extra months. It seems that Islanders are no longer going to stand by and watch American, Spanish and other European drag- gers. not to speak of those from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick North Shore, gather the wealth that lies off their own shares. C O O

The Brighton residential section of Charlottetown is glittering with Christmas lights and decorations. The rest of the City has the Christmas look too, but surburban Brighton on the outskirts of town where the houses are not so crowd- ed lends itself better to display. Many people drive through the area just to admire the colored illumination.

0 I I

Our hockey team is making a valiant effort to survive its fin- ancial difficulties, and the out- look for the Islanders is not ro- seate. It would be a blow to Is- land prestige if the club was forc- ed out of the league. aside from the loss of high class winter en- tertainment, enjoyed by many folks in town and country. It is not to be overlooked also that the Province gets valuable publicity

from the appearances of the team in other Maritime cities. Possibly there is some way by

which more Islanders could be in- duced to contribute in a small way to the team's support. Thus far only the faithful few have dipped down to help out. If a community effort. caught on the problem would be solved. There are more native eons with the team now than at any time since the club's organ- ization.

lowed: how, amid the screams of women and children and the roar of the swirling waters, passengers trapped in the wrecked coaches franticalw tried to claw their way through the shattered windows.

D. C. McLean, who with his wife managed to save their two young children, said: "I was dozing, when without warning then was a crash and a terrific sort of plunge.

"There was a-sensation of going downhill at a terrific speed. There was s. jolt and water started pour- ing into the carriage, which had listed on to its side. I noticed I window behind me had been broken and I struggled out through it. I grabbed my son's hair and hauled him out. Then I heard my wife calling and reached in to pull her and our daughter onto the carriage roof, where we were helped by pasenge . who had ulready crawled out."

Scene of Devastation

The first light of an overcast dawn revealed a scene of devasta-

tion. It was low tide and the le-

ceding waters had left a grey path in which the engine and coaches were a tangled mass of,steel and wood.

A few toys were seen drifting among the mud and silt.

No casualty list as has yet been released. as few of the victims have been identified.
