Sir.-With the world literally ont
the brink of starvation, is there any
'jttstllication for allowing thoiisandn of
acres of fertile land to be uiitilled?
Our roadways are in general sixty
fleet wide. The road proper. or ve-
-hicle track. ‘is about twenty feet. This
leaves forty feet. say twelve yards.
A mile of roadway would give more
_than four acres of cultlvable land.
'Why not have this land made produc-
tive? A footpath is all that is need-
ed for pedestrians. Remove .scrubs
*and runts: from the roads by niaklng
'each man responsible for his own rinl~
mais. The fences could then lic tak-
en away. and each farm cul_tivatt=.<’l to
the wheel track. _
` Again. what a relief this would lic
to our overbtirtlenetl farmers! 'The

- NHITUCKET VS, P,E,l.
NANTUCKET VS. P. E. I.
Sir,-It was with considerable am-
usement that I read the letter ln your
paper about Prince Edward not being
the only "Island" that won't have the
auto to run' ovef lt, and then to read'
about_Nantiicket being the “lslaii<i'."
' Now. I want to say that lt to true
that Nantucket is an island. taken
from a geographical point of view, but
'not in the sense that is meant in the
case of Prince Edward Island, or any
other island that is taken and recog-
nized an ti prolince, state, or nation.
I would like to .ask "Safety First" if
he or she would think of comparing
Panmurd. George or indian Islands
with the Cniintles of Prince Edward
_ -__
to which they belong? lt is just as
ab.sttr<`_' to eoiiipare Naiitiieknt with'
Prialce Edivnrd as it would be to coiil-
pare the:-ie small itilaiids with the
wutlties as ti wliole in wliich they are
located.
The length of the island as given;
is coi'rc-st. also the popiilatloii. bitt ani
to the one toivn and sevoizil villagesl _
would like to state that I believe this
lr misleading to mont people on l’_E_l.
who have read lt, us one is apt to
think that these towns and villages
were- something like the towns and vil-
lagca on their own island. Now. l
would like to any that of the fourteen'
counties in lllassnclitisetts. Naiituoketl
its so -iniportant(?l that it is the ‘onl~y`
county whose town und villages are
not mentioned in any tabiiliited list
of population of towns anti villages of
Massachusetts t`oilild iii dlrectoric-s.`
eta., while. oven the small places of
162 and 152 population such as Gay
Head and Goanold respectively in
Dukes county. which hi right next to
Nantucket and also an inland. are
mentioned. ’
Now, as to the Islniiderii objecting
to the auto running on Nantucket. I
would like to inform “Safety First"
that the majority oi' the- real island-
eiti favor the auto. they knowing on-y
too well that it would be a help to
them ln gettilng their goods to mark-
et, but the island is “iiummc~red"
mostly by it middle class of people
who with the help the-y leave in
charge of their places for thc: winter
object. It ‘is not the wealthy clans or
the poor class, but these middle class
who ll' the auto were allowed coiildt
not malntal-n the Social Levol with
the neighbors as they are now able to
that object.
lt' the Island was ~of any importance
to speak of the auto people of Maasa~
chusetta who are overwhelmingly in
the majority could pairs a law through
the legislative branches of the state-
ond have the auto run any time they
wanted to there. The reason this has
not been done is as I have -said. it Is
of no importance to speak of. and the
auto would perhaps he used by only a
,few people. Now Prince Edward can`
not be classed with thlii, as tho Island l
is of importance and' one of the pro»
vlnces of Canada, and not an isolated
, _
placo like Nillittitrltet.
