Premier Jones Stresses Need ' For New Ferry

speaking at the annual meeting of the East Prince Liberal Associ- stlon held in Summerside last evening, Premier J. Walter Jones referred to the present transport- ation problem that fsce this prov- ince. He said that "with the two ferries we now have, we cannot continua to get the ever increasing number of tourists to and from the province." He said that within a year or two the present trans- portation facilities will be far from adequate and he believed that the keel of a. new boat should be laid. not some time in the future, but now."

Premier Jones in his address pairi high tribute to the men in his cabinet who are administering the different departments and outlined the work being done by these de- partments fer the good of the province in general.

Referring to the prospects of a federal election in this country, he predicted that it would take place in the fall of 1053. Touching brief- ly on the recent election held in British Columbia, he said that the inexperienced party which had, been elected to power would coscl that province so many millions of dollars due to their inexperience that the people would put them out of power. He expressed his great pleasure at being present at the meeting but! said that he did not expect he, would be addressing them at the next annual meeting as he expect- ed to be "otit of lt" by that time. Mr. J, Watson Mi'icNtiuEhl. MP. stated that he was in sympiithy with rill that Premier Jones had said and in particular with his reference to the matter of trnns- portstlon. He said that as soon as steel became more iivnllnble the matter of a special automobile ferry would be looked after.

In dealing with the recent by election defeats suffei'ed by the Liberal Party. he said that in each case the defeat was caused by ii purely local issue and did not in any way indicate a condemnation of the Liberal Party.

Mr. W. A. Currie, president of the East Prince Liberal Association presided at the meeting and in ii brief report on the past years activities stated that it had been a year of general prosperity. He warned, however. that the members should not be lulled into a sense of political security as next year would possibly see some unusual political activity.

The resolutions committee brought in resolutions 'of confid- ence in the leadership of the Prime Minister. Rt, Hon. Louis St. Laur- ent, Premier J. Walter Jones. and the Federal representative. Mr. J. Watson MacNauglit.. .

A resolution was passed extend- ing sympathy to lion. Brooke Claxton and Mrs. Claxton on the death of their son during the past year. .

Alex Matheson, minister of health and welfare. Hon. Walter Darby, attor- ney general, and Senator George H. Barbour.

Mr. Darby in his address stated that from a recent agreement sign- ed by the Provincial Government with the Federal Government this province. during the coming year, would receive 33,888,000 as its al- lotment in lieu of income taxes. He pointed out that under the former arrangement the government had received from the Federal Govern- ment. u,l00,000. This, he sriid, was a lot of money to come into the province from Ottawa.

Preliminary Hearing Of Arson Case

Nine witnesses were hesrd in Summersi yesterday at the pre- liminary hearing of Wallace Pal- mer, Borden, charged with arson in connection with a fire last April 14th that caused considerable dam- age to the Borden Theatre which is owned and managed by the sc- cubed.

R.s. Hinton, Q. 0., is the pro- slding magistrate at this hearing in which as many as 40 witnesses may be called by the Crown.

Yesterday's hearing was ad- journed until September 2nd at 10.30 A.M. Mr. .l.0.C. Campbell, deputy attorney general, is con- ducting the case for the Crown; Mr. Bomerled Trainer is represent- ing the accused; and Mr. Morley Bell is sitting in on the case in the interests of the Department of Jus- tice and the Income Tax Depart- ment.

Christina Ramsay. lo, of Borden, the first witness called, told of making plans to go to Conway with the accused to visit relatives.

Her younger sister was also go- ing rilong, and the accused had called at the house on the morn- lng of April i-4th and told them he would call for them in an hour.

Roma Ramsay. l3. sister of pre- vious witness told of accused. ac- companied by Lloyd Harvey. hav- ing picked she and her sister up and driven them to the home of relatives in Conway where they re- mained and the two men contin- ued on to some place on business.

Lloyd Harver, Carleton, told of accused calling for him that morn- ing. They went to the theatre where with Elmer Perry, the janitor. they swept and scrubbed up the floor. Witness had gone to the projection room where he sometimes served as projcctlonist. There he had oiled and checked the machines, and turned power on to test both ma- chines.

Later they went outside and burned deiid grass on the theatre grounds. Accused had left for din- ner about 11 o'clock and when he returned he assisted in extinguish- ing the grass fire, and some fence posts that had caught fire near the building.

The doors of the theatre had been closed but it would have been possible for someone to have en- tered while they were busy bum- lnz the grass.

He and accused had called for the two young Ramsay girls and left for Conway before noon. ,

When they arrived at their des- tination they learned of the fire and left immediately on return to Borden.
