tizttt mitts lime VII 91 by sctcral councillors at rag- uiar meeting of the Suntnssrsids Toxin Council last evening. councillor w.r:. Msccauslaad commended the Summersida gut-d of Trade for their recent endorsement of dlylight saving time and for calling on the Prov- incial tiovernment to make it of- mini in Prince Edward Island.

Councillor Dr. H.E. Clark said that a poll conducted in a large summerside store indicating that 93 per cent of the personnel fav- orcd daylight saving time and that he believed that this was indicative of the general opinion throughout the town. He said he hoped ar- rangements can be made to im- plement daylight saving time this summer.

Councillor Edgar Cannon also expressed his support for the ad- option of daylight saving time and indicated favorable acceptance by islanders.

MILEAGE PAYMENTS

Councillor Leo Wood reported a lack of cooperation among the cm- pioyces of town departments. He reported that an unnamed em- ployee of the Electric Light De- partmcnt. using his own car. had charged the town for 17.1750 miles in the past year.

Councillor Wood told of meeting with is rude response from em- ployees of the Electric Light De- partment who refused his request to assist in towing a truck operat- ed by the Street Department. He told of a telephone conversation with an employee of the Electric Light Department who refused to cooperate with him and told him that he would take orders only from the town manager. Councillor wood said that this same town employee was the one who had collected 877500 for car mileage from the town last year and in addition to this and his regular salary had collected 31,460.00 for a total income from the town of 36.22000.

Councillor Wood said that a lot

town employees. Councillor Wood expressed a be- lief that the wage rate for labour-

be raised. He also cited the need for more money for four watchmn at the Fire Hall. three of whom he said were receiving only 5 cents an hour.

He suggested that all was not well at the town owned abattoir and said that 84 head of cattle through the abattoir could not be accounted for.

Councillor Newson concurred with Couaculor Wood on the mat- ter of mileage paid by the town and termed the single case of over 8l7oo.00 as "outrageous".

N0 GREAT REVELATION

Councillor Clark said that the matter of mileage was no great revelation and had been known to him. He said that it was not as bad as it appeared to be because a lot of travelling had been done on rur- al extension work and also as I result of the ice storm.

lie said that when he was called by citizens in regard to matters of another department. it was his oplicy to refer them to the coun- cillor who was chairman of that particular department, and he said that if new councillors would adopt this policy it might be a way of getting along better with depart- ment employees rather titan to make demands on another per- son's department.

Councillor Clark said that all the trucks from the Electric Light De- partment would be used whenever possible and necess y in order to cut out mileage on private cars as much as could be done.

Councillor Wood. referring again the 17.750 miles paid for to the employee of the Electric Light De- partment. said that "a man that can travel that much. is not doing much work for the town."

he said. the matter of mileage payments on this work is being investigated at the present time.

Councillor Wood commenting on supervision of activities witltln his department. said that yesterday morning one of four men had quit work rather than work individually in shoveillng snow on sidewalks on Central Street.

He said that the men had been working together at one spot, and when each had been assigned to a different block ,in order to facili- tate the work of shoveling one of the men had quit in protest.

He said he had also observed another crew yesterday afternoon heading for home almost half an hour before 5 p.m. and he said this would be investigated today. RESOLUTIONS

A number of resolutions were presented by Councillor W. E. Maccausland and approved by the council.

Mr. Bell said there were many beauty spots in the Province which could be viewed to better advan- tags it there were places where motorists could pull off the high- way to view them.

with pavement of less enduring qualities when. in his opinion. a smaller amount of permanent pavement would be to better ad- vantage.

COMPARES ADVANTAGE!

"If we had started a program of cement roads ten years ago. we would have quite a lot of perman- ent road laid by now and at the same time our maintenance costs would have been less." be said

Mr. Bell said that with the advent of the causeway, road traf- fic would become heavier since larger amounts of freight would be hauled by trucks. He doubted whether many of the present roads would stand the traffic of heavy trucks and suggested that the Gov- ernment now start a program which would take care of such a situation.

That the Government had done a good Job in its road program was the opinion expressed by the Fifth Pi-Inca mambo . However he said than war! only two main roads to handle the traffic to and from Prince County and one of these was through the streets of summerslde. The other is the Sher- road between 'rravsllar's

time in effect was voiced.

"I would think the Government would be Justified in making ex- ceptions to the Act in two or three areas." he said.

EDUCATION

Mr. Bell noted that estimated accounts of needed teache . within the next ten years reveal that there will be in the vicinity of 40.- 000 wanted for all of Canada. He felt the need in Prince Edward Is- land would be proportionate to this figure.

"We must find ways and means of keeping our teachers in the pro- fession." said Mr. Bell who noted that the turn over in teaching per- sonnel was throe times that of other parts of Canada. He agreed with the Minister of Education that Ottawa should take a hand supplying the needs of education.

Mr. Bell said the amo t spent on education for young poo le who leave the Province represents mil- lions of dollars and felt that this should be one of the Government's strongest contention. when they went to Ottawa looking for ad- dltional federal grants. "We need close to five million more and if we keep pounding away perhaps something may be done with an election coming tsp." he added.

self-destruction or of stupid self-en- slavement. It will not be a period which will concede to anyone the luxury of indifference or weak mentality or casual effort." CRUCIAL STRUGGLE

"The final victory in such a crucial struggle as we face in our time will not come simply as the sudden result of the skilful use of great economic and military re sources. It will be made possible in the first instance by a multitude of small achievements.

"You cannot escape the burden of the challenge which has now fallen upon those who provide edu- cation in a democracy. All edu- cation is. aggressive. - But that aggression lies in the realm of the spirit and the mind. Education is where we face the crucial struggle of our timrand that is why our schools deserve very special atten- tlon.

"Great teachers like Aristotle and Abelald have always elected a more lasting and beneflcient in- fluence on the course of history

than mighty conquerors like Alex- ander the Great. Caessr or Nepoleon.

in MISPLACED CREDIT

"Unfortunately, the notariea of violence usually receive more pub- llc recognition during their own lifetime than the molders of the minds of men. Most thirteenth- cenfury Europeanr would be run- azed to learn that today the named of St. Thomas A utnas and Roger Bacon are famllar to millions while the names of warrior- prlnces of the age are almost completely forgotten.

"Today, the latest atomic ax-

' ' is celebrated by headlines while the achievements of the men and women who teach our child- ran how to think are relegated to inside pages or completely ignored.

"Such journalistic disproportion does not alter this fact: far greater than the noisy potential of atomic bomb is education's promise as it will be realized in the ability of these same children to harness atomic energy for peaceful uses. to develop under- standing of human relations. to adopt methods which will smooth fluctuations in the business world in short. to make our life alto gather more meaningful and pro- ductlve.

He said perhaps one of the greatest assets of the Island in so far as the tourist industry was con- cerned was the friendly and court- eous methods used by islanders in dealing with their fellowmsn. "lt is little wonder that increasingly large numbers seek recreation and relaxation in this summer play- ground each year." lie said. AGRICULTURE

Dealing with Agriculture. Mr. Arsenault said an adequate food supply is essential for the health. efficiency, productiveness and ulti- mately for the civilization and culture of any people. "A nation cannot be vigorous without food." he added.

"Some of the chief handicaps facing the tamer are the very high cost of machinery and the difficulty of procuring satisfactory help at reasonable rates of pay." stated Mr. Arsenault, "At the present time it would appear that farming is gassing through a transition period and those who make the adjustment will be the successful farmers. They are th a farmers who know how to use farm credit prudently. who will organise to take advantage of markets and who will build the facilities needed to modernize agriculture." FISHERIES

The speaker noted that during the past year the fisheries have had the most successful season in its history. "Our fisheries provide

Mr. Arsenault said the present Government had done much to improve the lot of the fisherman on the Island. He felt that with modern methods and still further uuwuragemant from both the Fed- Govarnments

He said he was pleasad to see the Department headed by a cap- able Minister in the person of Hon. Dougald Maclfinnon who has the

able assistance of his Deputy. Mr. 3

Eugene Gorman.

Turning on highwus, Mr. Arsenault said -he was pleased with the program being carried out by the Department. He noted that 48 miles of B roads and 44 miles ofcroadslill 'ftobe done in First Prince district and ex the hope that the maloc- lty of this would be completed before next annssner.
