Governor General, Viscount Alex- ander, at the opening of Parlia- ment.

The last session proved rather conclusively that the actions of even a small opposition have a definite bearing on the length of the session.

Prime Minister St. Laurent in the June 27 general election was returned to the Commons with an overwhelming majority, b u t throughout the session from Sept. 15 to Dec. l0 the Opposition mem- bers hammered away at his Gov- ernment on issue after issue.

Mr. St. Laurent. whose govern- ment probably will go through another five sessions before call- ing an election, ivill again have his large majority with him in the Commons.

The standing:

Liberals 169; Progressive Con- servatives 40; C.C.F. l3: Social Credit l0; Independent five; In- dependent Liberal three; vacon! two: total 262.

The vacancies were caused by the recent death of T. L. Church (PC-Toronto Broadview) and by the appointment of former Re- sources Minister Gibson to tiic On-iario Supreme Court.

Breaking even with their op- ponents on the scoring with a l-l deadlock at the end of the first. period play. the Prince Street boys turned on a powerful mid- session rally that resulted in three goals without a reply from the opposition. The splurge gave the youngsters a 4-1 advantage that held intact through a closely contested scoreless third period battle.

Young Jackie Turner was the leading goal-getter for Prince Street by garnering two of the team's four tallies, while Brian Lewis and Hood accounted for the remaining goals. Bobby Trainor scored Queen Square's lone tally, which was the opening marker of the game at 12:32 of the first period.

The following are and summary:

P. S. S.: Goal, A. Douglas; de- fence, MacDougail, MacLure, Tay- lor; forwards, Turner, Lewis, MacFadyen, C a r s o n, Boswell, Leitch, Whitehead, MacLeod, Hood.

CALVIN M. CHAPPELL

After a long and trying illness, borne by Christian faith, ihc gen- tle spirit of Calvin M. Chappeil passed on to be with his Saviour in that home of many mansions on the afternoon of Wednesday, Jan. 25 at his home in Kcnsing- ion.

Mr. Chappell had been in fail- ing health since returning from overseas in World War One. In 1927 he suffered a serious illness which left him more or less un- able to carry on an active life. B)’ trade hc was a carpenter having learned his trade in the U.S. A. For years he was foreman for big companys in Boston, New York, Maine and different parts of the States as well as on P. E. I.

He was a great sportsman and he loved to fish and shoot. While in the States he belonged to dif- lei-etit hunting clubs. His hobby was always having nice register- ed hunting dogs as he was a great lover ol birds and animals.

Left to mourn his loss is his widow, the former Bernice How- att, Cape Traverse, who was his constant helper and companion and who never left his side as he was deaf for a number of years, and since July had been blind. Words cannot express (hi: love, care, and tender nursing she bestowed on him during those last years.

He is predeceased by five chil- dren, four having died in infancy, and Verna, a bride of a few months in Dec. I944 who‘s death her father never got over and seldom ever smiled after. Left also to cherish his memory are the following sisters and broth- ers: Mrs. Bessie Gay. Boston, Mrs. Ed Cussack, Hamilton, Ont.; Mrs. Margaret Jardine, Mt. Stew- art; Mrs. R. Burgonie. Fountain Rd. James, Shcrbrookc: Siflflfvfli and Wallace in Weymf>l1ih~ Mas-i

The funeral took place from his late residence Saturday, Jan. 2B and a large number of friends and relations gathered to i131’ their last respects.

The scrvicc was conducted lov his pastor, the Rev. L. Murray who so faithfully visited him lil his sickness and who so softly nncl tenderly sang, “Will the Cir- cle bc Unbroken“. Other hYmn-i sung were “The Lords M)’ 511911)‘ herd“ and “O God our help in ages past." _

His pallbearers iic. (‘hose iiim- self, namely George and James Morrison. Summersidc; William and Fred Sena-pic, Kensington; Erwin Champion, Kensington; P. N. Manuel, Charlottetown.

Beautiful floral tributes bore silent testimony to the love and esteem in which the deceased was held. Interment was in the Peo- ples Cemetery, Summersidc, near to his boyhood home. The Canad- igri Legion, Kensinglon Branch. attended in a body. Bcv. L.\V. Murray conducted the service a‘. the grave and his friend and comrade, Major N. W. Lowthcr. Charlottetown, conducted the Lo- ginn service.

To the bereaved we cxtciid our deepest sympathy. "Al. thi- going down of the sun and in the morn- ing we shall remember them."
