This service has for some time past been strongly advocated by the Surnmerslde Board and II I result I survey was recentkr made of the town. At the c clusion of the survey it was felt that the findings were favorable and that street delivery in Summerside would be in operation by the time the new post office was officially french Airmen On Week-end Visit To Quebec City QUEBEC. Am-ti 13 .. (cs) - Twenty five French Air Force nav- igational students from the sum- merside, RE. 1.. training base. ar- rived here today for a week-end visit. sponsored by the Quebec Kinsmen Club. The group arrived by R. GA. 1'. transport at nearby Ancienne Lor- ette Airport.

Left At 10 o'clock Yesterday morning at ten o'- clock two Dakota aircraft took off from R. C. A. F. station Summer- side with approximately 25 French airmen aboard who will spend two days as guests of the Quebec Kins- men Club. The airmen are navi- gation students training here un- der the North Atlantic Treaty or- ganization and the trip was ar- ranged through the Kinsmep Club of Summerside. Two R. C. A. F. officers, Flight Lieutenants Jean-Paul Beaudet and L. G. Lacombe, are panylng the group. The president of the Summerside club, Greg.

They will return on Sunday.-S. srocltsoifilnun (Continued from page 5) ..m.?..:L......L:.L bank loans to business firms wish- ing to heavily augment stocks so selling prices. At present. except isolated instances. the increases in prices forced by extra budget taxes have not been felt by the average citizen. Stocks on hand bought at the old price are being sold generally as before. Some instances have been reported of cigarettes being sold It the high- er price. Prior to the Budget there was heavy buying done in such items as cars and refrigerators. Wash- ing machines showed some in- crease in sales. but. electric and gas stoves. trucks and tires mov- ed It In almost normal level. Car Prices Affected One of the smaller makes of cars now selling around the Si,- 700 mark is expected to go over 32.000 within I few weeks. it is feared here that the prpoaed "dumping duty", effective the end of May, plus the budget tax in- crease will add grntly to the cost of English made cars and put them into too high I bracket. A tire dealer of this city told The Guardian that sales were good right now, but not abnor- mal. Fishermen are buying vari- ous items earlier this year than last. but he put it down to the fact that the spring season is I few weeks earlier than last year. An automobile dealer said he had anticipated a rush of buying. but it did not materialize. How- ever, he noted that the buying was steadier than normal. An- other dealer said he had experi- enced I considerable rush before the budget but that buying had levelled off since it was In- nounced. Refrigerators have definitely been in greater consumer demand because of the budget and one dealer termd the buying "heavy". Even commercial refriigeraiion has been Iffected with greater sales of big units being reported. - In addition to the Excise Tax Y 70771! jut Wk EuMius t”,""”'35 accom- as to take advantage of higher in a few. Slside Will Not, Have Mail Delivery Service opened. However one communication from the Postmaster General Id- vises that there must be I mini- mum of 500 cells before the ser- vice can be inaugurated and ac- cording to figures submitted at the conclusion of the survey there are only 1531 calls in the Town. Regret was expressed in the letter to Mr. Rodd that in view of the result of the survey it was found necessary to refuse the application at least for the pre- sent. and assurance was given that when the number of cells increased sufficiently that I fav- orable reply would be forth- coming.-S of 15 per cent the sales tax has also been increased by 2 per cent. But this is barely noticeable in the sales of larger items. How- ever. it becomes important in the smaller commodities such as to- bacco, oigarettes and cosmetics. In the latter case it is only re- cently that I E per'cent increase went into effect. With the new increase in the two taxes it means that cosmetics formerly selling for 31.00 will be retailing at ap- proximately 31.47. There is I wide divergence of opinion among merchants as to what wlill be done about cigarettes. Some suggest that the manufac- turers may put only 18 cigarettes into a package and have it re- tail at the same price as is paid now for the pack of 20. So far as the 2 per cent sales tax is con- cerned it is likely that the same procedure as at present will be followed. That is where real fig- uring has to be done due to the relatively low amounts involved. It has been customary for the dealer to absorb any fractional increases under the .05 cent mark, but to pass along to the custom- ers as a one cent increase frac- tional amounts above the absorp- tion point. Generally speaking the cus- tomer will continue to enjoy the benefit of old prices so long as former stocks hold out. His poc- ketbook will not be really hit un- til dealers have to reorder. When this time comes, as it will soon, many merchants and dealers in heavy merchandise expect to meet ooneumer resistance. Girl Guide News Guiders Club Another good crowd of Leaders attended our meeting in Notre Dame Hall on Thursday last. Leaders were reminded by the President that the deadline for the completion of the circus for Brownie Shield is May 8th. Lead- ers were thanked for their splen- did worir and efforts that helped to make our Guide and Brownie Concert and Rally such I success. A resolution was passed that Com- missioners be requested to permit such a Rally concert once each year. It helped promote Guiding and was also stimulating to the children. The next meeting which will be the clubs annual will be held at a restaurant on May 10th and we hope once again a com- plete attendance of all Leaders. The new officers for the forth- coming year will be presented by the Chairman of the Nominating Comi.-nitlee. Miss Betty King was introduced by the President and gave a most instructive talk on the 'First Class Hike. 3 practice hikes at least were necessary and full clean uniform was es- sential suitable walking shoes must be worn. small first aid kit carried and a well packed haver- sack. Types of cooking fires were discussed and the need for watch- ing wind direction emphasized. Leaders took notes of the many helpful hints given and our guides should do much better than for- merly on the hike this year due the kindness of Miss King in com- ing to town to give her valuable advice. The hike this year is to be held M. Mrs. Nell Matheson's farm Southport and will be on June 16th. This date and place will he confirmed later. The hike is from Charlottetown to Sollthporl and is for Guides working on the First Class Test. T,wo escorts must be wilh the competing Guide and should assist in the carrying of equipment for outdoor cooking. Lenders should also arrange for return transport for their own Guides.

The annual meeting of the west- ern Hospital Ladies' Aid was held in the Nurses' Home at eight o'- clock last night, There was an at- tendance of thirteen members and three visitors. Minutes of last meet- ing wero read and adopted. A lin- ancial report. read by the treasurer Rev. Sister Mary Angela, showed the amount taken in during the year was 31,198.85.

Sister. officers and mem- bera: As your president for the past. year, I wish to take this op- portunity of expressing my sincere gratitude for the kind co-operation I received from each and every one of you in making the year a suc- cessful one. During the year we had eight regular and one special meeting. We served the meals at the exhibition, had several card parties, and a pantry sale in order to raise funds. what the Aid needs is more co-operation. Our membership this past year was very small. only 22 members. The idea of this Aid is to help the hospital. but are we helping enough? I trust the com- ing year will be more successful and the new officers elected will have the whole hearted support of each and every one of you. Thank you. Ontario Taxi , Driver Murdered KILLAT.DE.

Let me say a word about our own District of Charlottetown and Royalty. Dr. McMillan is my senior colleague and his long re- cord of devoted public service in the interest of his District and Province speaks for itself. We are opposed by two worthy Lib- erai candidates. Dr. F. C. Dou- gan, a former City Councillor, and Mr. Earle McDonald. the present Mayor. I am running against the Mayor. but let's get this straight, if I win I will! not be the Mayor; if he loses he'll still be the Mayor; he has to win to lose as Mayor. I am boosting my affable op. ponent as the best Mayor now available. I salute also the C.C.F'. candj. dates just announced this morn- ing. Time For I Change I need not discuss the corn- parative records of the two par- ties in regard to labour. The futile attempt of the Liberal Party to outlaw labour in this Pro- vince is gone but not forgotten. The Progressive Conservative Party has advocated for years the building of a marine slip, but unfortunately we have never had the power to enforce the policy. Our party believes in a living wage for workmen. No action was taken by the City Council last month-to implement a request from the Labour Union to in- crease the basic rate of we to 75c per hour. No action was taken during the monthly meeting three days ago. But at the close of the meeting the Mayor read a state- ment advocating an increase. Why was it not made at the open- ing of the meeting? Such polite pulblic gestures will not purchase food. On Monday of this week the Conservative Leader of the Op- position in Parliament moved for the adoption of appropriate meas- ures to hold down the cost of liv- ing and hail. inflation. He was turned down. The voters of this Province will go to the polls two weeks from today aware that the cost of liv- ing has just been increased by the Dominion Liberal Govern- ment by another jump in the Fed- eral Sales Tax, that notwithstand- ing the present emergency no measures to prevent further in- flation are in sight; that rent controls are coming off with an open season in this Province for raising rents for at least one month I believe they may also feel confident that if the Provincial Li-beral Government is returned further sales taxes will be found necessary to support an extra- vagant system of Government. It is indeed time for I change. Professional Garils l'. Earle Hickey Chartered Accountant Building i Canadian Bank of Commerce Snmnunide. P. E. I. PHONE 285! E. E. Parkman, 0pt.D., R.0.
