Park Land llot Gomplcteil (C.P. by Guardian's Special Wire) OTTAWA, May 3 — The Prince Edward Island National Park, nine square miles on the northern coast is expected to be deeded to the Dominion soon but it will be months before it ls developed to its full capabilities as a. tourist attraction. Meanwhile, negotiations with the Ncw Brunswick Government are continuing over a. site in that pro- vince for a park. Negotiations op- ened last year but the two gov- ernments have not been able to agree. Expropriation of land inside the Prince Edward Island park area hns not been completed although the boundaries have been marked. It will include 20 miles of beaches. Most of Canada's nationalparks, representing an investment of $20,- 000,000 are in the west. A park of 430 square miles was created on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, twp years ago, leaving only Que- bec and New Brunswick without parks. There is no large area in Ontario set aside as a national park although groups of islandsin the St. Lawrence River and Geor- gian Bay are termed national parks. Ontario has several provin- clal parks, particularly in the north. Under legislation passed a. few years ago, any province may co- operate with the Dominion in es- tablishing a park. The two gov- ernments must agree on a. site which the province must deed to the Dominion free of encumbran- ces. Development of the park is done by the Dominion.

He had spoken before many large gatherings and welcomed delegates of many important bodies to the city but he had never spoken when he experienced a greater feeling of delight or a greater sense of res- ponslbility, Mayor Turner said. The boys and girls who were tak- ing part in the exhibition were future citizens, destined to rc-vit- allze this old city. The greatest asset a nation could have was not great natural resources but its boys and girls. To say that Can- ada had reached the limit of its development was to deny the pio- neering spirit of youth, the speak- er said. The exhibits, a. happy combination of the practical and the cultural, were an example of a. creative pioneering spirit that would make this a great city and Canada a. great nation. Lieut. Col. Rogers explained that the show was started with the idea of fostering the creative ef- fort in boys and girls and express- ed pleasure that the entrles list set a_ new high mark this year.

The other two were located three mmths ago by divers at the bottom of North River.

Ernest Bevin, General Secretary of the Transport Union represented the busmen at today's inquiry in a. 4 1-2 hour appeal for the '1 1-2 hour day. rather than eight, and, slower bus schedules. The strain of their work was such, lie said, that the busmen were "ex- traordinarily good customers for patent medicines." The controversy; struck the House of Commons also in attacks by IA- bor iileinbers against the govem- mom's fa lure to avert the strike. Labor Minister Ernest Brown, who shortly before had reported to the King, expressed regret that the “busmen couldn't see their way to remain at uiork while the inquiry ls taking place."
