CHARLOTTETOWN, SATURDAY, JULY 7. 1951

A Wonderful Week

Despite the partial failure of the weath- or man to co-operate, Charlottetown's first Festive Week has been a truly wonderful one. The impressive ceremonial parade of the armed services with six bands in at- tendance, the big field and track meet, the magnificent float parade, the Firemenls tourney, parade and entertainment, the childrens doll and pet parade, the beauty contest which will culminate tonight with the crowning of "Miss P. E. 1.", the street dancing, night racing, band concerts, dra- matic entertainment and other numerous features, will be remembered with pleasure for a long time to come. The planning and carrying out of such a programme has meant a lot of hard work for Brigadier Reid and his committee in charge, but the public response was enthusiastic from the start, and our merchants particularly are to be commended for their support and participation.

Considering the large street crowds and numbers, in attendance at the many open air events, there has been excellent co- operation with the police in observance of traffic safety regulations and in general good order and sobriety. ,,

There is no doubt but that Festive Wee!-'. can be developed successfully as a regular feature of our tourist season, adding much to the pleasure both of our own citizens and of our summer visitors. In any case, we have proved that it can be done in a big way, and all responsible for such a magnificent demonstration of community enterprise and organization are to be warni- ly congratulated.

convenient. But irregular

One serious objection to the Dominion Govcrniiicnl's new method of collecting income tax revenue in advance and at the source up to 99 per cent of the tax on ag- gregate incomes, is poiiited out in a To- mnto exchange. That is the fact that some of the income exempted from taxation by Parlizuiicnl: will not in fact be exempt un- ill some time after t.lie end of the tax year, when the Government refunds tax collections in excess of the legal impost.

Portions of income which by statute and authorized regulations are exempted from taxation include the support of dependent in-laws, charitable donations, medical ex- penses where applicable, and other items.

It is true that Parliament approved of income-tax collections on every pay-day at the source, and also that many wage and salary earners welcome the method. But it is also true that every such tax (leductior. is a prepayment, an advance in cash against a liability which has not yet matured. Now that the tax deductions are to be in ex- vcss of the legal rate applicable to taxable income. the taxpayer also is being coni- pellcd to surrender that excess payment without compensation for the whole period up to the unknown date of its refund.

The Govcrnmcntls purposes may be laudable in attempting to collect as much as possible of the tax at the source, but in this case its action is so irregular that it would not be surprising if some of th; first legal actions, when suits may be brought. against. the Crown without si fiat, were for redress.

Summer Highway Hazards ,

A pamphlet issued by the Ontario De- partment of Highways deals with special traffic hazards during school holidays. The figures cited are of general interest and point a moral applicable to every part of Canada. '

Out of 524 school-aged Ontario chil- dren killed or injured in road accidents last summer 188, mostly aged five to nine, were on foot. The accidents occurred when the victims were coming from behind parked vehicles or other objects, crossing rural highways, crossing streets not at a corner, playing in the streets, and crossing streets at the corner.

01' 125 children killed or injured while riding bicycles, most were between 10 and 14 years. They became casualties when they lost control or swerved into passing vehicles, entered a street without stopping. made unsafe left turns, collided with a left- turn vehicle or collided with an open veh- icle-door. In the cue of 211 children killed or injured while riding in motor vehicles,

have prevented the accidents.

The Ontario pamphlet points out that despite all that law enforcement and safety engineering do to prevent accidents, traf- fic; safety still depends on individuals. The summer time, it says, calls for extra em- phasis on safety. By giving that extra emphasis Canadians can help .to reduce at traffic toll that is much too high.

Aquatic Sports

Yacht racing and the swimming meet are the order of the day, along with a decidedly varied entertainment programme. It is safe to estimate that a very high proportion of the outstanding young swim- mers received their basic instruction through the Red Cross swimming and wa- ter safety programme. ,

Most commendable work has been done

in this regard but the work is handicap- ped by being confined to the summer sea- son when youngsters tend to be scattered, many of them enjoying vacations near some of the almost endless miles of beach sur- rounding this Island. An indoor swimming pool or pools would enable instruction to be given to much greater advantage and would add to the safety and enjoyment of many of our young people. They could learn in the winter months how best to enjoy salt- water swimming when the season comes around. We are singularly fortunate in recreational opportunities and should take steps to get the most out of them.

Sir,-Before leaving the Island after a short visit might I call the attention of your readers lo the exhibit of paintings by con- temporary Island artists now showing at the llarrls Memorial Art Gallery. It was a great. pleasure to see them and it is .1 pity that anyone intezcstcd in painting should miss them. Also to. the very instructive exhibit of pictures of Charlottetown in its early days and of objects of liis- toric value showing at the Prince of Wales College which suggest the great -need of a permanent museum in the City. Those who have arranged these exhibits are rendering a great. service in the development of the life and cul- ture of the City.

Sir.-May we through the col- umns of your paper make public the appreciation of the Salvation Army for the excellent support given by your publication to the recent Red Shield Appeal. Indications are that the appeal will be successful nationally, and this gives cause for gratitude. The part played by the Fourtzi Estate in bringing the appeal to the attention of the people is fully realized. Fund-raising does not get any easier, even in times of national prosperity. It is calen- tial, therefore. that the public be made aware of the Salvation Army's needs. and of its cfforis to help the needy. Thank you once again for generous and competent assist- EH06. I am.

But clover thresherl rub it out successfully. and there is good mpney in it at 32 a pound. when a fortune was made at 20c a pound. Especially when the cash crop here is less than half a cent a pound.

The potato grower here was getting 52c for the 75 pound bag. selling in Toronto for 51.79-ti bag and now potatoes for pig feed are selling at 20c a bushel. The jute potato sack costs 351'. and the double paper bag 104'. Yet 90179 of the crop was shipped in jute. so exacting is the mar- ket buyer. Such is the handi- capped economy of the Island, so remote from its market.
