Celebrated His First Solimn High Mass

-On December 23rd. parishion- ers, relatives and friends from far and near offered with Rever- end Howard Shea. of the Scar- horo Foreign Mission Society, his first Solemn High Mass in St. Simon and St. Jude's Church. Tignlsh.

Father Shea was ordained to the Holy Priesthood on - Decem- ber 22nd in St. Dunstan's Ba- sillcii. by the Most Reverend James Boyle, Bishop of Charlotte- lawn.

Reverend Claude Shea. brother curate at Seven Mile Bay. acted as deacon and Reverend Thomas McLellan of St. Dunstan's University as sub-deacon. Reverend Elmer Ham- ill was Master of Ccremon es.

The Mass was sung by the Tig- nlsh men and boys' choir under the direction of Mr. Adrian Rich- ard. The recently redecorated church and the altar. tastefully adorned with flowers and multi- colored lights. - added to the grandeur of the occasion.

Present in the sanctuary for this solemn ceremony were: Rev- erend J. A. MacDonald, pastor of Tignish: Reverend Patrick Walsh. P.-ilmcr Road: Reverend Richard Ellsworth. St. Dunstan's Univer- sity; Reverend Emmanuel Rich- ard and Reverend James Kelly.

Reverend Richard Ellsworth In his eloquent sermon spoke feel- ingly of the sublime dignity of the sacerdotal vocation. He said that s priest is one who has been called by Christ to be His special friend. His ambassador-an "alter Chrlstus". The priest is set apart from the rest of humanity and by his vocation lifted above all merely local and earthly interests. A: A priest of God he holds the price of redemption of the world in his hands.

Reverend James Kelly very capably and fluently delivered the French sermon. He spoke at length on the three-fold duties of the priest, which are: to dedi- cnte himself to the worship of God, to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and to preach the gospel.

Immediately after the Mass. ad- dresses in French and English were read by Messrs. Hector Buote and Claude Kinch. and a presentation was made by Mr. Peter Bourke on behalf of the

parishioners of St. Simon and St. Jude's Parish.

Reverend Father Shea re- sponded to both addresses and

very graciously thanked the peo- ple for their generous gift. The church

ceremonies ended

music. and enjoyed it very much- VV

It was very evident by the high quality of performances given by these youngsters that they had received A great deal of worth while training, which will con- tinue to be a source of pleasure for them and enjoyment for oth- ers. now, and in the years to come.

After competitions were con- cluded. the contestants and teach- ers were guests of M. F. Schur-

pletely at Robsons' Restaurant. where they were comfortably seated in the banquet room, and

after enjoying a color film on life in the Arctic, they were serv- ed huge three-decker sandwiches. and ten or chocolate milk, follow- ed by ice cream. apples and candy. ,

dence of insufficiency. He cited several cases taken from the Pub- lic Utilities Reports. the majority dealing with instances in the Un- ited States, to show that inade- qunry of service should not used to prevent a mining rate increases. He said that better service could not be obtained without improvemcnts to plant and equipment which could not be made excepting through increased rules.

No Ballooning

In speaking of the company presentation at the original hear- lng he said that the eqlmates of company needs were the result of the best Judgment available and that there had been no "balloon- ing" of estimates. He added that no precise mathematical formula could be devised for use in the future and the estimates given were based only on actual fiscal needs. He claimed a company had

to produce revenue to meet the fiscal need and once that need had been established increased revenues were necessary.

He said that only those em- ployees resident in this Province received a salary. No one em-

ployed by the Maritime Telephone and Telegraph Company received it salary from the Island Tole- phonc Company. Operating expen- ses have increased. it was stated. but revenue has not kept pace. Brief reference was made to what was termcd pense" chargeable to storm dam-

age. Mr. Brennan said it was no greater here than elsewhere in Canada.

Mr. Mathieson reviewed the

evidence dealing with depreciation and construction estimates and stated there was considerable construction work presenlely un- derway at the local plant. He pointed out that a company's earnings were insufficient to at- tract cnpltal the company was in an impossible position regarding new construction. At the same time it was noted that any sur- plus goes back into the plant.

The Telcphono Company coun- sel gave the Commission several citations from cases dealing with working capital and provisions for an earnings base.

Commission Chairman Trnlnor mentioned .one case relating to an "interim rate", a custom fre- quently followed ln the United States. and said the only interim rate this Commission could allow would be It lower one

Mr. Martin inlcrjerted the re- mark that "Mr. Mathieson is not looking for that."

In his final summation Mr. Mathleson maintained that "This was a full and fair presentation by the company. Their position was made fully available to the Commission in the schedules shown." He added that the esti- mates glven were based on A solid foundation and evidence showed they were minimum estimates band on actual fiscal needs and were given by competent offl- clslo.

Mr. K. M. Martin. speaking on behalf of the city. maintained

that a minimum eltlmsfe cannot be a "realistic" one, and said he

intended to comment on "the hor- rible inefficiency" of the service

at a previous hearing they hud been told that dinl service would come in with higher rules and. now higher rates were being ask- ed "with nothing but promise" of a dial system. He asked why the public should be asked to pay more for an admittedly inade- quate service.

In stating that H company likc this should have a logical outlool: on expansion he held that they could not have been forward look- ing at all. In support of the statement, he cited the service during the war years and'main- tained that expansion of traffic should have been foreseen.

At one stage during the hearing yesterday he and Mr. Mathieson engaged in a verbal cxcnhnge over the manner in which wit- nesses hiid been cross examined by Mr. Martin at the hearing be- fore.

Mr. Bruce Judson in appearing for the connecting lines said that the Island Telephone Company was not the only one to suffer storm damage. There was consid- erahle of it in the country nnd perhaps it was because equipment was not. substantial enough to withstand storm onslnughls. Judge Tralnor said that this was true all over Canada and else- where as there were continual re- ports of severe storm damage.

No Agreement

Mr. Judson raised the point of no agreement between companies for use of lines and equipment on toll calls where one company re- ceived all the financial return. The Commission chairman sug- gested that thla point would be bettcr raised through a special application to the Commission for
