There were no celebrations in this Island where Confederation was planned but both Charlotte- town daily newspapers mentioned the event in editorial columns. Operation of a cabinet system rovernment was started in this Province April 24, 1851. Today. the Island's 95.000 population was weighing the. campaigns for Thursdayts vote. The first years of responsible government were not easy. Dur- 5'15; the first 25 years, there were 15- different governments. But since 1873-the year the Island joined Confederation-things have in-en going more smoothly. BIRTHS. MARRIAGE5 DEATHS 50: per Insertion BIRTHS -.

The director inform- ed the Chorus that they are re- quested to sing at the coming Festive Week in July. The re- hearsal last night was very en- couraging and it is hoped that the chorus will make a good showing against their competitors at the Musical Festival. Guernsey Breeders To Buy New Sire The Prince Edward Island Guernsey breeders are planning to buy a year old sire from an Ontario breeder, their second male purchase from that Upper Canadian Province in the past few weeks. The new sirc will be a half brother to Kingfield Nimbus, the seven month old calf recently purchased by Island Guernsey breeders. Before buying. the As- sociation here will have Professor George Reithby and another On- tario breeder look at the young sire. Kingfield Nimbus is due to ur- river here on May 1.

I would suppose it was a request fromthe Council." Let me give Ex Councillor the S. On March 6th. 1950 an em- ergency meeting was called to dis- cuss asking the Legislature to make certain is ndments to the statutes. The Mayor called on the city Cieri: who read out five proposed changes. Four of these proposals were suggestions which had prev- iously been discussed in the coun- cil, but the fifth, the oneof par- ticular interest to the Mayor, had never been under discussion in the Council and he was twitted by'one or two Councillors for making the request. . However, a motion prepared be- forehand by the City Clerk or by the Recorder, requesting the five changes. was read and His Worship made it very clear that he was most anxious that it be passed. councillors Prowse and Stewart very obliglingly consented to act as mover and seconder and the resolution passed seven to one. I shall not attempt to explain to Ex Councillor the objectionable features of this proposed legislat- ion. for if he still cannot reason it out for himself it is hardly likely that he could understand the points raised by the various mem- bers of the Legislature, who voiced their objections and unanimously rejected it. I am sorry that "Ex Councillor" hadn't the courage to sign his name as I would like very much to meet him. for although I have discussed this subject with num- erous people in both Summerslde and Charlottetown. I have never discovered anyone who felt that the members of the Legislature were wrong and the Councillors right. Be that as it may. Ex Coun- cillor is perfectly entitled to his opinion that the members showed no common ordinary sense, but he will have great difficulty in trying to persuade anyone in Charlotte- town that it was the Council and not the Mayor who sought the change.

NEWFOUNDLAND TRADE Sir.-In I944 arrangements were made jointly between our Gov- ernment under Premier Jones and the Newfoundland Railway to have our Federal Government subsidize the John Cabot boat which appeared on the trade "run between Chhrlottctown and St. John's, Nfld. From 1945 to 1949 arrangements were made between the Federal Government and Premier Jones that the Island Connector be sub- sidized, and this boat was placed on the Charlottetown-St. John's run. with an annual subsidy of SM000. and calling every three weeks durink the summer months. In .1949 the Newfoundland-Cam ads Steamship Company operated the Galway Kent from Charlotte- town-St. Pierre-St. John's, operat- I ing against the Connector and having no subsidy and asking for none. She serviced the Island every two weeks during open navigation. The Eskimo boat was purchased by the Jones Government and placed on the outboard trade to Newfoundland the same year and Premier Jones promised the own-l ersiof the Galway Kent that the Eskimo would never haul freight to St. Pierre or St. John's, be- cause the Kent was calling there, and would quit if the service was duplicated. That fall the Jones Government broke its promise and the Eskimo started hauling to St. Pierre. In 1900 the Newfound1and-Can- ads Siearnship Company operated either the Gaiwsy Kent or Wel- lingibn Kent from Charlottetown- St. Pierre-St. John's every two weks during open navigation, re- ceiving no subsidy and asking for none. But on Dec. 4th of that year the Jones Government broke its promise again and ordered the money-losing Es-klmo to haul to St. John's. This was the last trip" the Kent operated from Char- lottetown to Newfoundland. In March. 1951 (last month) the owners of the Kent waited on our Island Government regarding the Island trade to St. Pierre and St. John's. stating they were doubtful if they could operate this year without a subsidy and give equal freight rates to the railway as the latter had lowered their rates in Newfoundland. They maintained that only one -boat could operate successfully on this run and if another boat operated, whether subsidised or not. they would have to quit. They wei-e not able in find out whether the Government Intends to operate the Eskimo ,to St. John's or not. and still can't find out. Now let us view some angles of the trade. Four years ago, when our trading and shipping condii.-' iona were condemned ,by health officers from Ottawa, Premier Jones doc ed to errands for-ac- eoaimoda "is -in an old shed at the loweread of Prince sou: wharf. This-was to, be their model barn in conjunction with s wharf. I decided now was the time to put proper footing--build a pienii. kill and grade all meat, Properly packaged, and ship un. der refrigeration. Refrigeration space was and is badly needed tori other perishable goods. The Pre-. rnier went far enough to move' their buildings to their proposed. site-and stopped there. He sensed ' that he was acting unwisely be- cause I held a guarantee ofthous- 1 ands of dollars' investment in a' plant by Newfoundlanders whoi wanted the cattle killed at thisi end. What did Premier Jones do re;' Eat-ding my proposition of New-l foundland investment, if only on' a percentage basis? He refused, to have any?-hind to do with it. Later he prornlsed a part loan, but subsequently forgot about it. when a group of good shippers. petitioned the Government for al loan--each shipper worth more than the loan asked for-the Gov- ernment had no money, but the same day it purchased a building on the lower end of Prince Street wharf for 93.500. What. has that Clarike building ever been used for since that time? Not. a n-lckel's worth of produce ever went into it for trading via the Eskimo, and it remains is tumble-down monu- merit to the Premier's lack of knowledge. When the Government purchas- ed the Eskimo they set up an office personnel costing 59,500 a year, and they have lost approxi- mately 3160.000 since the opera-i tion started. not to speak oil causing trouble with Newfound-; land which won't blow over for a I long time. 3 Our trade with Newfoundland last year took a drop (our trade a-gent told me so himself lastl Friday), but the Government isi claiming it is up. which is absurd ' and misleading. The Government has no intention of erecting bci.-I tor cattle sheds or a plant to lookl after the killing for this trade, because they were told by the packers two years ago they would be buried politically if they.did. The Jones Government would not let one of their Cabinet Min- isters go in Newfoundland to look into the trade troubles. They did all they could to hire the secre- tary of the Federation of Agricul- ture. and make him Deputy Min- ister of Industry and Natural Re- sources, but the secretary declin- ed. They also informed the Fed- eration that they did not want them to have any meetings on what Whestley was trying to do. It is the intention of the Feder- ation to look into the Govern- ment's activities in Newfoundland trade. and I hope they do so thoroughly. In conclusion. I would suggest that the Premier stop condemn- in: me openly. because I can Lruthlfully state that if the disuniiy among the shippers exists much longer, and our Federation of Agriculture gets wrecked and proper msnketing conditions are not arranged for, we will be fore- ed into the action dictated to us by one senior member of the Government: "Go home and pro- duce for the packers: that is all that is left for you people to do." This Government of ours, if left standing after the 26th. will set the progress of the Island back fifty years. I am, Sir, etc..

Government chiefs agreed to let Bevan abstain from voting on the budget provis- ion for a new 50-per-cent charge to patients who receive false teeth or spectacles. . The budget provision was ap- proved ionight merely by a voice vote, although several rank-and- file Labor members backed Bev- sn's position in the discussion.
