A truck owned by a Cardigan firm, loaded with potatoes dropped through the Dominion Govern- ment Railway Wharf on rlriday. on the clay top of the wharf. just north of the cast ramp leading into the potato shed. It. is thought that the recent storm washed away a portion of the old wall. which runs north and south along the wharf, some distance in from the east side. The truck was later hauled out, after having it's load removed, and the damage which was not extensive, was estimated. no doubt, for future settlement by the Dominion Government De- partment of Public works.

Mr. Douglas MacLmren, Prov- incial representative for Bergmann Construction Company, visited Georgetown last week, where he nontacted Mr. A. E. Jenkins, ,local representative for Bergmanns. Mr. Macbaren made arrangements for the cleaning up of the pit-wood storage yard, located on the west side of the town. The truck iiaqks at present on the site will be block- ed up off the ground and the yard pu-t in preparedness for future use. We are reliably informed that con- tract: are being finalized for pit props and pulp wood and that the Company expects to load three freighlers each year at this port.

workmen last week removed the stacks from the roof of the Can- adian National Railway Round- house. In the days of the steam engine, those large stacks carried off the smoke and gas ilrom the engine. Due to the lateness of the season, it is not exipected that any move will be made to dismantle this building and replace it with a more modern and suitable one. It is anticipated that plans for it's replacamen will be carried out next year. Located, practically on the main street of the town, it is hoped that 3 new building, if and when erected, will improve the C. N.R. holdings here, which to say the least could be made to show a much more presentable appear- ance than at present.

Montague Trinity United Church C. G. I. T. girls were hostesses to the C.G.I.T. groups of other com. munlties on Saturday in their new hall. The rally proved to be a huge success with a large number of members attending totalling 53 girls and leaders.

After the registration at to A.M,, the members were divided in dis. cussion panel groups during which several questions of importance were brought before the meeting. Worship service followed, led by the C.G.I.T. of Murray River Lunch was then served at noon.

The afterncon session got. under Way at 2 P. M. with a series of games during which the girls be. came acquainted with one anoth- er. Another discussion group was formed during which several thought provoking questions were raised to be discussed.

At 3 P. M. a short demonstration on handicraft, ccnslsting of shell and felt work. was given by Miss Mae Robinson, and Miss Brehaut of Charlottetown and Mrs. J, Douglas of York. Tile young'girls also work- ed at these materials and found it most interesting.

Following a short worship period late in the afternoon. led by Miss Marguerite Brehaut, a delicious sup. Der was served by the ladies of the United Church.

other leaders taking part in the rally included Mrs. (Dr) A.D. Mac- Kenzie, Montague; Mrs. R. A. Mac- Leod, St. Peters: Mrs. Macphet-son, Murray Harbour; and Mrs, Fergus.

would proceed very blindly -if it neglected the many political and administrative precedents and llractices which develop through the years. Prince Edward Island has been very lax in this respect. for a student of our political and constitutional past has virtually nothing available in this Province by way of valuable government documents.

No Good History

"Nor have government officials easv access to the experiences of their predecessors. The results are only too obvious. For example. there is no good history of Prince Edward Island; there are very few studies of Prime Edward Island's public men: virtually no research has been done on Prince Edward Island's economic development. This lack Ls deplorable in this modern era and the remedies must include the establishment of an archives.

"It. is significant that. although we have neglected ollr records. somebody else has been keeping them for us. Copies of Prince Ed- ward Island Government docu- ments are in the Public Archives of Canada in Ottawa and a great deal of time and effort has been spent in collecting and cataloging th'r-m. The result is a magnificent collection of Prince Edward Islal:-cl material of which they. and not we. are proud. VVllV shouldn't we have copies of all these documents

our own archives where they would be available to our govern- ment officials and our historian"! It would not cost too much to have this done and the expenses would be more than met by the resulting benefits.

Early Loaders Unknown

"With respect to private papers,

it might. be well for us to ask: "What do we know of our former leaders?" The answer is virually nothing. our early leaders are un- known to us, and even our Fathers of Confederation are but names. In modern times successive gav- ernors. judges. and ministers of the crown resign or pass away and their deeds remain unrecorded and unknown. It is sdeplorable fact that there are no biographies of Prince Edward Island's public men. In this respect we are far, far. behind the other provinces, and the results have been very noticeable in our system of gov- ernment. "The retention of our old news- papers is nlso very important. They are probably the best run- ning commentaries of contempor- ary life, and they would be valu- able to us for study and refer- ence.

"My suggestion is a well con- structed archives into which all old government documents should be placed for safe-keeping. news- papers filed or micro-filed. ,and private papers and other records preserved. If we need examples of how well this can be done we need only look at government archives elsewhere: the Public Archives of Osnsds. the Provincial Archives of Nova scotis, and the British Columbia Archives. all of which are excellent institutions.

MONTREAL, Dec. 4 - share- holders at the Bank of Montreal's l33rd annual meeting today elected

Louis 1. Long (left). -prominent Ontario industrialist, a vice-presi- dent, and named the Hon. Clarence Wallace. C. B. E., Lieutenant-Ooh crnor of British Columbia, to the bank's bcard of directors.

Mr. Lang. who succeeds lil:i,i.- Gen. the Hon. S. C. Mewburn, P.C. (CL. C.M.G., as a vice-president, is president of the Long Tanning co.. Ltd., in Kitchener. Ont.. and of the Mutual Life Assurance Com- pany of Canada. He also holds pos- ltions on the directorate of a num- ber of other ccmpanies.

over. unviversllies and colleges in

the other provinces have been working even harder than the governments to retain valuable

records. One need only exllmim the Bennett and Bonar Law pap- ers in the library of the Un1VerS1ti' of New Brunswick to see what a stimulus such facilities provide.

"1 should emphasize that our valuable material will not be Col- lected or donated unless we have a good place to put it. Moreover. the longer we delay. the harder it will be for us to make a start.

Museum Defined

"The 'first point we must make with respect to a museum is to define it. A museum is not merely a musty place for old brass kettles- sltuffcd owls. and Pictures 0! deceased r0.VB1W- It 5 H0" 3 (Teak show; it is an educational instituti- ion. I make this point because the popular conception of n mus- eum is usually distorted. The PW' vinoial mus-eums should house 8 collection of historic Obleci-5 de' signed to preserve our appreciation! the cultural and scientific phenomena of the Province- "There arethree processes neces- snry in a good museum: COHBCV ion. research and education.

Nothing 15 W01'59 than the results of an uninform- ed nmnteur curator, proud of 8 miscellaneous but useless collect- ,'on or junk, The collection must be done by someone who knows what he is doine. g 4 ”Collecting the material-is JU51 an initial process. C0l'lSldCT3b1C research must be done if it is to be of practical value. Geological npccilncns, illustrative materml concernlm: our economic resollrccs and industries, and historic relics should be examined by experts. and the results, which are often extremely valuable, should be made available to scholars and government officials. , ”Thc need for this might well be emphasized by asking the ques- tion "What good research has been done on Prince Edward Island in- dusiries and resources," The an- swer is virtually ndthing, and our loss in terms of money and pro- gress has been simply tremendous over the years. Again. someone else has been doing it for us. and scientists elsewhere have from time to time produced studies on various aspects of Prince Ed- ward Island's industries and re-

sources. ' These, however, have been virtually ignored in this Province.

Educational Factor

"The third function of a museum is education. Material should be properly displayed in appropriate show cases so that visitors and study groups may have access to it. Exhibitions of this material could be sent to schools through- out the Province. Lecture series and study groups could be held at the museum for student and adult. education groups. A science dis- play room. featuring the technical apparatus and methods involved in every day scientific process (2.11. the telephone and electric power) would be very useful to educa- tional groups.

''I would suggest that a well equipped Provincial Museum should include specimens concerning our leading industries. such as agricul- ture and fishing. - Our Indian folk- lore should be thoroughly explor-

The excellent ex- amples provided by the valuable studies of the Indians of British Columbia should certainly be no- ticed here. llclics of our earlier settlers. both French-spcakingand English-speakiiig. should be re- tained. Specimens of geological resources, shells, animals. birds. fish, flora and fauna would stim- ulate much study of the physical features of this Province. Displays illustrating important events in our history should be set up, e.g.. early settlements, political move- ments lcspccially Responsible Gov- cmmcni and Confederation) and ccanomic dcvelopmcnis.

Again. a museum. just like an archives, requires the administra- tion of an expert historian who has the training and experience to encourage the thrce functions of collection, research and education.

Library ”I n:(-ll say very little about the value of a library's facilities

in our cultural service because the Prince Edward Island Libraries system has already proved itself. However, I am sure that no one would consider a back room in the basrmcni of Prince of Wales College .1 proper place for a pro- vincial librazgv. A good modern library requires space for reading, for slonlgzc, and for expansion. it is my View that the Archives - Museum should include a large wing for the Prince Edward Is- land Lilimlgv --- a wing so well constructed that it could be ex- panded with the needs of the Library. A projection room and i'1lm lii)rary is also important. and the proper pine: for it would be in the prop:-.o:'d cultural building.

Art

”'l"lie cultural building should include a local art centre where exhibitions borrowed from the Na- tional Gallery and other galleries may be displayed. and where lo- cal art exhibits may also be en- couraged. Exhibitions of paintings, facilities for art classes, work shops for handicrafts and amateur thrairc are allimporian-t and valu-. able departments of a cultural cen- tre. Moreover, a good music de-

partment could be included where- in lectures on music appreciation small reci-lals,' and record programs may be heard.

"In all these faculties. museum, archives, library and art centre- the staffs should co-operate with federal agencies such as the Na- tional Archives and Museum and with provincial agencies else- where suoh as the public archives, and museums of the other pro- vinccs. An effective exchange of material among these groups would be an important step in expanding cultural activities. Moreover, this provincial organization should serve a valuable function by co- operating with local groups in the Province in making the facilities avaclllablc in every part of the Is- an .

Experience Required

”IL is extremely important to bear in mind that the project rc- quircs close study. careful adminis- tration by a good board of direc- tors, and above all an expert his- Lorlan and archivist at its -head. Nothing is more damaging to a cultural centre than to have it or- zanlzed by enthusiastic ama-tours who have not been trained in his- iory and who have no experience with archives. It will pay in the long run to secure a good historian at the beginning.

"The project. will involve ex- penditure of considerable money, but it will be money well spent. and there will be a very substantial return. not only in cultural as- pects. but also in the research and dlssensminatlon of in'for-mation con- cermn-gt our government and our economic resources.

fl should point out that we at Prince of Wales College have peen very enthusiastic about this ques- tion. In our brief before the Mu- sey Commission a year ago. we suggested that the centre be lo- cated on the campus at Prince of

t

Wales College. It could then make

use of existing facilitm. College and the Cullvlze would

-benefit, by its resources.

"The whole project, I bclievq will be a stimulus to our young people. encouraging them in study and appreciate the traditions of this Province: it would be va'.li- able to the Provincial Govern- ment in providing a means for the retention of public records: and R would be of immense value to our citizens generally."
