"I now understand better how our country is run by a truly democratic system and seeing Ottawa our Capital and the pro- vinces between here and there, has made me feel proud of this nation to which I belong. If I were a Canadian before. I am really and truly a Canadian now". Miss Constance Chandler said yesterday in an address before the Rotary Club at their lun- cheon at the Charlottetown Hotel. Miss Chandler. was chosen as the student sponsored by the Charlottetown Rotary Club to take part in the annual "Adven- ture in Citizenship", inaugurat- ed and developed by the Ottawa Rotary club in co-operation with other clubs from all parts of Canada.

Miss Chandler described in de- tail her trip to and from Ottawa and the pleasure derived from meeting other students en route, especially Mary Thompson who represented the Rotary Club of Summersid-. In Ottawa, she was the guest of Rotarian Edwin Charleson, QC, and Mrs. Char- leson. both of whom met her on arrival.

"Adventure in Citizenship" was opened by Mayor Charlotte Whit- ton who spoke to the students urg- ing the boys and girls of Can- ada to "stick to our nation and help to develop it rather than go south to the United States. as so many do."

Dr. MacGregor Easson. the or- iginator of the "Adventure in Citizenship" idea. then described the program to be followed for the next four days. which met with much favour.

Discussion groups were assembl- ed each day at Carleton College under the leadership of a mem- ber of the faculty. The purpose of the discussion: was to acquaint the young people with parlia- mentary procedure. "This gave us an opportunity to find out how

Enjoyable social functions were taken part in by the students in-

g eluding luncheons and dinners at

which outstanding figures in Can- adian politics were heard and met: Hon. J. W. Pickerskill. Minister of Citzenship and Im- migration. Prime Minister St. Laurent. who presented Citize- ship Certificates. and others. Mr. Neil Mathason. MP. took breakfast with Miss Chandler in the parliament restaurant and in- troduced hcr to many members of parliament and senators. of whom she had heard and read. After breakfast Mr. Matheson "took me on a tour of the parli- ment buildings and showed me many interesting things there which I had not noticed before. all of which I appreciated very much".

A visit to the Supreme Court also proved highly interesting. La- ter the Hon. Judge Abbott spoke to the students when they visited the Exchequer Court.

In the absence of the Governor General on tour of Western Can- ada. the visiting students were shown through government house and grounds by an aide-de-camp. Following a dinner as guests of Murphy Gamble. Ltd. one of Ot- tawa's largest department stores. the students were addressed by Hon. Solon Low representing the Social Credit Party.

Mr. Angus MacLean, M.P.. who was unavoidably absent, arrang- ed to have Hon. Mr. Bell from St. John-Albert take Miss Chand- ler to breakfast along with the young folk from New Brunswick. Later they were taken to the Na- tional Art Gallery and museum. A luncheon at Lansdowne Park, home of the Ottawa Rough Riders. where the students were guests of the Federal District Commis- sion was also a highlight in the trip. Mr. Walter Bowker. public relations officer of the F.D.C. showed slides and plalned the changes being made to modern- ize the national capital. at the same time not tampcflng with its natural beauty. Later they were taken on a bus tour through the Gatineau Hills to the estate of former Prime Minister Hon. W. L. MacKenzie King.

The "Adventure" was conclud- ed with a final luncheon at the Chateau Lauricr. when each stu- dent from the tan provinces was called upon to make a short speech.

'Lively Disc"ssIoni Over ' 1.? Purcnase Of Pumper At ....':::r.i:.'"”::l.;' Meeting Of City Council

A resolution caning for the pur- chase of a LaFrance pumper for the City Fire Department was the cause of some heated at eat during the regular meeting of the City Council held yesterday after- noon. All members of the Council were present with the exception of Coun. G. R. Keefe who was absent through illness.

After a carry-over discussion from the previous monthl meet- ing the matter of purchasing a new fire pumper once again came before the meeting. At the May meeting a resolution calling for the purchase of a Bickle-Seagravc pumper had been shelved pending further investigation on the part of the Fire Committee:

Coun. Rogers. who is chairman of the Fire Committee. had a let- ter read which indicated that three of the Department's senior officers were in favour of the LaFrance machine. He advocated that the Council take the advice of these officers.

Coun. Gaudet said that he and Coun. MacDonald had sat in on a meeting with the represe ntives of the different uu panics invol- ved and he was no wiser at the end of five hours than he was at the beginning of the meeting. He said that he asked anyone at the meeting to show him why the usual practice of accepting the

lowest tender had not been adher- ed to and the highest tender ac- cepted instead. To this question. he said, no one has yet been able to give a satisfactory answer.

Coun. Gaudet said that it was general talk on the street that a member of the Fire Department was interested in making the sale of the LaFrance pumper and he could not see why when all the machines tendered met with the requirements of the Fire Under- writers. one costing over 54,000 more than another should be ac- cepted.

Coun. Hutcheson explained that the tender for the LaFrance pum- per had been approved after he had seen ” at Moncton. Verdun and Westmount. The De- partments in these cities all fav- oured the LaFrance. It was this A ommendatlon. he said. which had an influence on the commit- tee in making its decision.

His Worship asked Coun. Rog- era why it was. if the LaFrance pumper now in possession of the City was so good, it was not being taken to any of the fires in the City. "It has been sitting on the floor for years and not used.” said the Mayor.

Coun. Rogers said that the ma- chine was over 25 years old and two of the tires on it were the original ones. He said it could be used in emergency and so far as he knew was able to pump just as good as ever.

Coun. MacDonald doubted the soundness of purchasing a new pumper at this time. He said that the Department could not now send any of its equipment to help the neighbouring areas. He could not understand why a man could not be employed to make 'a recom- mendation to the City regarding the purchase of s new machine and suggested that Mr. Stanley Matheson be sent to a number of cities and bring back a report. "l'll go along with his report 100'z whatever it is." said Coun. Mac- Donald.

Practically all of the Councillors had a chance to express their views on the matter and at times feelings were on the verge of run- ning high until Coun. Mccormac made a motion that the matter of purchasing a new pumper be left for consideration six months hence.

gettable exparienct. George Walters was chairman of the meeting and introduced the ' who was -5 ' 5 by the

The motion. carried unanimously.

FLUORIDATION

A motion by Coun. to fluorldate the City's ply was supported by a port from Engineer Lea of Mont- real. The report indicated beyond doubt that fluoridated water in tin town of Brantford. Ontario had shown a decided decrease in the number of children having infect- ed teeth compared to two er citles. The report showed that cost to the city would be 313.000 for installation of equipment with a yearly cost for chemicals of 32.11).

Coun. Johnstonc congratulated Coun. l-Iutcheson upon bringing in such a comprehensive report which he said left little doubt regarding the merits of fluoridation. but add- ed "What is this really ' going to cost?" He understood. that the cost as originally planned would be only a trifling amount and warned the Council that if the Water Commission were given the goahead to implement this ad- dition to the water supply. they could easily erect a couple of buildings which he understood would be required. at a cost of perhaps 310.000 a piece. "It is the taxpayers' money we are spending and we cannot keep on spending more money without the taxes go- ing up." he said.

Coun. Mccormac said that fluoridation. although it had shown apparent favourable results. was only in the experimental stage and who was there to say that in ten years its benefits would not be disproven. He suggested that the City soft-pedal on the matter until they knew more about it. As a re- sult of Coun. McCormac's remarks Coun. I-Iutcheson offered to with- draw his motion.

PARK LIGHTS

Coun. Johnstone took strong ex- ception to the method used by Coun. MacDonald in having the lights installed in Victoria Park. Coun. MacDonald said that per- mission had been given for the erection of the lights at a cost of 38.000 after several of the Coun- cillors had been approached and had placed their signature on the order.

Coun Johnstone, who had ob- jected to this procedure on sever- al previous occasions. claimed that no Councillor or group of Councillors had the right to decide on a matter involving so much of the taxpayer's money without first having called a special meeting. "It is a wrong principle of po- ceedure". he said. Mayor Stewart agreed with Coun. Johnstone, stat- ing that no Councillor had ever been refused a special meeting If the reason was justifiable.
