to any extent with work. under modern and well-planned methods. Weather. in fact. plays no part at all in remodelling or renovat- ing because the workers are un- der cover at all times anyway.

Habit, say research people. is the big obstacle, the old and out- worn idea that summer M the time to start any construction work.

However, say the researchers. with everyone in the market for tradesmen and supplies in the summer, neither are always available and disappointments and delays are frequent and irritat-

ing.

The local Employment Office is basing its appeal to the public on the findings of these surveys and research workers. It is asking all those who plan to carry out minor construction work to "forget tradi- tion and to start the proposed Job without delay.

It is urged that it doing the job now, which in any case be done later. the whole com- munity benefits. Nothing. it in emphaslned. can take the place of the steady wage-earner in a community and too many men in the construction industry are un- necessarily Idle.

STRONGLY SUPPORTED

The campaign hes the strong strong support of Ills Worship Mayor Stewart. of the Charlotte- town Centennial Commltfee. of. the Charlottetown Branch of the Canadian Legion. of the Char- Iottetown Trades and Labor Coun- ell. and of many Charlottetown business establishments.

The Centennial Committee is especially anxious that the City present an attractive appearance to the many visitors expected. The committee hopes that many more than the ueual' number of citizens will paint and repair their properties well in advance of the time when the van guard of visitors arrives. For those who plan to take summer guests. the committee suggests that the spare room or added accommodations be made ready without delay.

Rev. Harvey Bishop. Minister of the Free Church of Scotland. Charlottetown is a patient at the Prince Edward Island Hospital where he was taken with injuries to both knees when his car was involved in collision with another car driven by Mr. Fred Carver of Alexendra. While his injuries are not considered serious Rev. Mr.

The second Presbytery Lenten conference held on Prince Ed- ward island was held this week- end ai Trinity Church, Charlotte- town. The theme for this confer- ence was ”Enlisling in God's Ser- vice." The Couference opened on Saturday afternoon by singing "Jesus Calls Us 0'e'r the Tu- muit", followed with prayer by Rev. Howard Christie.

A business period was conduct- ed by the Presbytery President, Anna Mntheson. who spoke brief- ly on a summer school to be held at Tatamagouche, N.S.. on July 16-24 and urged as many young people as possible to attend. Mary Morrison spoke to the group on Christian Youth Caravans, ex- plaining what caravans are. the training they received and their work.

A plea for material for the Y. P. U. page of the United Church- man was made by the Presbytery convener. Charles Frizzell. Rev.

Praises Reha Program For

The rehabilitation program for T. B. patients was given praise by Mr. Harvey Douglas. Second Dis- trict of Kings. in speaking in the Bugdet debate in the Legislature on Thursday. He told what n fine service the Government was ren- dering to these patients who were well looked after in the Senator- lum and were given an allowance after they were discharged. He also had some complimentary re- marks for the manner in which Beach Grove is conducted. "It is filled to capacity and there is al- ways a long waiting list." he said.

Mr. Douglas noted that there had been no complaints from the Opposition this year regarding the treatment their constituents are getting from the Department of Welfare. "Last year they each had two or three cases but this year I do not hear them saying a word. I presume that this means that they are completely satis- fied." said Mr. Douglas. "The Minister is always sympathetic in dealing with each individual case and if there is any way in which he can help. he will do so."

” ” Kingfs ” did not think that there was any dis- crimination in road work, as mentioned by the member from First Prince. He noted that in his own district. a half a mile of pavement at both Morell and St. Peters had been asked for but it was not done last year. Re under- stood that fbe holdup was on ac- count of wet weather. R u r nl electrification, he said was pro- gressing favorably but there were a good many pieces yet. to re- ceive electrtelty. -

FROZEN FOODI

Mr. Douglas said that the ad- vent of the proposed frozen food plants in the Province would re- vive the fruit industry and give impetus to the growing of the smaller fruits and vegetables. He felt that there were opportunities in this field for" the young man starting in on a limited capital. He referred to one instance where a man growing strawberries was able to bank 81,000 a year and buy a truck-all within the last five years.

Mr. Douglas referred to the problem of securing farm help and expressed the o inlon that if a farm labourer co d collect un- employment Insurance there would be less difficulty in the farmers securing help. He said many young men were avoiding the farms in favour of the shorter hours of work required of them in the City. That flour mills had al- most disappeared in the Province

ed or planned are: the new Fed- eral Building. the new Treatment Centre at Falconwood, the new Guardian budding. a large exten- sion to the Central Consumers Cooperative store. a sioo.ooo bulld- lng to house new macheney at the Maritime Electric plant. and possible extension to Notre Dame

MacLean. then spoke to the group on "Recruiting for full-time ser- vice". He stated that "we can be come a thing of evil or a thing of glory or greatness." We all have the choice. We all have it in our power to be a rod in the hand of God and we should all listen to God's call."

A film entitled "Leila look at the Ministry" was shown by Rev. Mr. Christie. The group divided into discussion groups to discuss the theme under three headings, ll) God's call to me; (2) My re- sponse to God's call; (3i God and I at work together. Discussion

ed by an interesting and chal- lenging essagc on "Full Time Service" by the Rev. James A.

Fraser. president of the Maritime Conference. Rev. Mr. Fraser spoke on the greatness and chal- lenges of the United Church of Canada. He said all can give ser- vice to the church in everyday work. There are grand opportun- ities for each to practise Christian

"The people in the Second Dis- trict of King's were well satisfied with the work of the Department milk testers." said Mr. Douglas. "Previous to their coming out. there were many complaints re- garding the test that producers were getting. "It was the only way to settle it." he added.
