Memorial Field To Be Illuminated

Prospects this year for the li- iri-minatirvn of Memorial Field to provide for night ball as well as track and field events, were indi- cated in the report of Coun. Wen-

membership

' deli H. Benton, chairman of the

lnght. Cominlttee. submitted at last ll-lllltls meeting of the City Council.

”l am happy to see a new powcr lune through the centre of the Park," rhe report stated. "and I be- lieve Brigadicir Reid. acting on my suggestion. has acquired some ex- zra long creosote poles to be utili- vrd as light standards for the lighting of the field."

Coun. Beaton's report expressed rlraappointvrrient that he was tin- nble to obtain from the Maritime Electric Company a proposal for the ivlliiminaiion of the boulevard around Victoria Park. The plans Ht'btil1lltCd to him were neither practical nor feasible. and he would not recommend them to the Corin- cvl. However. he felt that Mr. Ainswortih and Mr. MacLr-od will have a proposition to place before the Council for the prcsent. year. which will be acceptable in its entirety. The great difficulty seems to be not so much the type. of ligiht as the standard ,on which ibis incandescent. fixture is car- ired. -

llc commended the iniprnvcmcnm at the Maritime Electric Company Want. and stressed the magnitude of electricity released from the 'h”s'li Power output gcncrators re- lircscntcd it great improvement.

Details were given in the report of sevcn new lights, placed during "19 year on recommendation of Coun. Beaten. ,

Mclnnis, with the charter for the club. officially declaring it to be an official Wing of the Maritlnie district. and recognized by the name. No. 109 Confederation Wing of the R.C.A.F. Association.

The occasion of the presentation was a banquet which was attend- ed by almost fifty exIAir Force personnel, with President Mclnnis presiding. .

Addressing the gathering. the Presidcnt expressed the rc',:i'ct.s of the out-of-town guests who had planned to be present. but be- cause of inclement weather and various other reasons were unable to attend. During his brief ad- dress of welcome he thanked Squadron Leader A. G. MacMillan for his competent efrforts in ar- ranging for the banquet. He also thanketl Wing Cmdr. MacLcan ulio had accepted the responsibility of stepping into the breach created by the absence of Wing Coin- mander H. Aslin, President of the Maritime Association. who had -been scheduled to present the charter.

Before reading the charter, Wing Cnid.-i'. McLean outlined briefly the purpose of the newly formed Wing, and slatcd it was a mcans by which ex-Air Force personnel might enter into fellowship to- geti-ier. and also should be used in speak as a body. representing ex-

Air Force. pcrsonnel. tn the per- manent Air Force. He continued by saying that

world conditions being what they SN. it was highly probable that -many of those present would be called upon to again serve their 90l1nir.V. and he hoped they would live up to the high reputation of the R.C.A.F.

are singles. . "Sonic of the posts are too far in on the sidewalks and will

have to be moved out at the ex- pense of the company,” ha re- ported.

Traffic Lights

The Committee has given con- sideration to the different types of traffic lights. and have quota- rions ranging from approximately dam to 35,000 per intersection.

"rho high priced one has ad- vantages over the others as the cars operates the lights. and trai- flc speeded up. The others are set time. and if there is only one car on the street, it has to stop for irhc lights to change. Our trai- flc is spotty. There are many -hours each day that lights are not required.

"A demonstration of the actual- ed lights was given by representg. l'lV95 of the Northern Electric Company to which we invited members of the Board nif Trade. and I believe it cleared up a mis- understanding regarding the wide differenc 'n prices quoted.

"'A ch u-p on the voluma of traffic was taken at three inter- sections in November. which is not by any means it peak mtynt,-h, and would only represent our 10- cal traffic. The result for the ten- hour period. 8 am. in ii p.rn.. win N TOHOWSI Queen and Grafton 1,- 432: Great George and Kent 7.2M; Great George and Elm Avenue ii.- 025. or an average of- over seven hundred can an hour.

"As far'as our own motorists aro coiiccrned. we get along very well without traffic lights. We have bad very few accident: this year. none serious.

"Visitors to our City are accus- tomed to traffic lights and in look- ing for them. do not see our stop signs. which has caused some near lccidnnis."

Reference is made in the report to the great increase in the num- ber of motor cars and trucks on

.. rue GUARDIAN.

General Health Conditions Normal

"In the past year while the City has had the usual sporadic cases of communicable diseases. none reached epidemic proportions and in general the health of our citiz- ens remained normal". it was stet- cd in the health report prepared by the City Health officer. Dr. W. 1.. MacDonald and read to the City Ocuncll last night.

"In the autumn is number of cases of infantile paralysis was reported. but the greater majority came from the rural areas rather than urban". the report continues. "No typhoid or paratyphoid was reported.

”'I'xvo families were qua-ranttncd for diphtheria; one child died. As 9. result of the compulsory immun- izing of schcol children, diphtheria no longer can appear in epidemic form.

"Outside toilets continue to be a source of annoyance. but fortun- ately tlme is eliminating most of these, and our new by-law govern- ing oiitside toilets should complete- ly eliminate this scurce of men- ace.

"Our water supply continues to maintain its high standard of pur- ity. Under the Provincial Depart- ment the school children are ex- amined for communicable diseases. skin diseases, and also for physical defects such as teeth. tonsils. vis- ion. hearing etc. and if found par. cuts are notified.

”The City is no worse and is pos- sibly much better off than most. cities of its size. It is true here its well as everywhere else that homes should be built some way or other for the lower income grcup of peo. ple. No new houses have been built with the lower income group en- tirely in mind .- and they constit- ute the larger portion of our popu. lation. In the near future somethinz srhould be done or overcrowding will most certainly follow."

Reviews Century Of "Y" Activities

The Rev. J. D. Davison. R.A.. B.D.. minister of Baptist Church. Charlottetown, was guest speaker at Rotary luncheon yesterday. He dealt with the foundlnll and de- velopment of the Y.M.C.A. which this year is celebrating its North American Centenniel.

The speaker recalled that a col- lege professor had told him that there were a great many more temptations for young people to-

day than when he was it young man, and moreover today the temptations had jam on them.

This said Rev. Davison may 01” N"- be the impression of most people. but at least we are all aware that the world is in n turmoil and faced with many uncertain- ties. and it seems that young peo- ple are feeling this uneasiness and are reacting accordingly. Those who have not developed strong characters are in dantlcr Of m0F31 destruction.

After relating the story of Gethsemane. be compared the young man Mark. one of the

dlclples. with another young man George Williams who in London in 1844 saw the need of lending a helping hand to the many young men employed in the drapery 95- tabllshmcnts in that city.

The room is still preserved as a memorial in which he first enth- ered togetiber 1': young men for Bible study and the formation or a soclcly which would he in- fluential in changing the lives of hundreds of the other YOURS me" of the city who were in need of spiritual benefit. From this meet- ing has grown the prcscnt Young NIFIPS Christian Association which numbers over two million mem- bers in 65 countries of the world. RI-voliitionary Changes

The founder Georcc Williams would be lost if he entered a Y. M. C. A. building today and stud- icd the present position of the organization. which has chanslvd to meet the modern nerds of youn-g men and women the world over. While the nrlgliirrl mission- ary drive has somewhat subsided as mightbesaidof many churches. the spirit of helping youniz 080- ple develop trheir talents and lit themselves as useful citizens. Still remains uppermost.

Rev. Davison mentioned the stress which was DIRCN1 ""0" health. not only by tho 1'. M. C. A. but also by the rovernmerit and numerous organizations. Why. he asked. Is it that. they will it? better individuals. or better "Iti- zcns of the state? "When WU give a person better health is it for the good of his soul or be- cause he is thereby made more val- uable to industry." Hitler thought that through his youth movement he had founded an empire which

would endure for a thousand years. I . p Despite its diversified PF0tZ1'M"-

the spirit of the Y. M. C. A. today is to serve the individual boy 01' girl concluded the svei1kFI'-
