INCREASED BREEDING The first five months of 1958 have shown a marked increase in the number of cattle artifici- ally bred on Prince Edward Is- land over the previous year. To date 2967 cows have been arti- ficially bred. The month of May shows the highest number name- ly: 1077. The number bred each month are listed below with the numbers in brackets represent- ing those of the 1957. January 367 (186) February 360 (216) March 509 (307) April 654 (409) May 1077, (617) The figures noted above repre- sent an increase of 71 per cent over 1957. This period has shown the most rapid increase of any period since Artificial Insemina- tion was estazlished here in the province. Ten breeds are available daily, namely: Holstein, Ayrshire, Jer- sey, Guernsey, Dual Purpose Shorthorn, Beef Shorthorn, Here- ford, Aberdeen Angus, Red Poll and Chaiiolais. If you require service phone the Invseminator in your area be- fore ten in the morning to re- ceive service that day. It is im- portant that full co-operation on the pant of ‘the members is ex- tended to the Inseminators par- ticularly during the next three months which are the heaviest months in breeding cattle in this province. By phoning be- fore ten o’clock in the morning it affords the Inseminator the opportunity to lay out his route and hence cut down the number of miles which he has to drive and also to extend a better ser- vice to the members of the Club. Cat-tle which come in heat in the latter part of the day are far better bred the next day than they are bred that day. There is a greater chance of them getting in calf if this procedure is fol- lowed.

MacDonald, the assistant I ith the Empire general manager of the com- was paiiy. Mr. Ling is a charter life Underwriters Association. is shown in the following ex- cenpts from a bulletin on the “Effect of Air Temperature Rise on Laying Hens.” It says in part: As air temperature increases groin 70 degrees to 100 degrees. 1. Body temperature increases (of the hen) rises. 2. Respiration rate increases 2.7 times. _ 3. Heart rate is lowered. 4. Water consumption increases 35 per cent (for Leghorns) from 7.6 gallons per 100 hens to 10.3 gallons per 100 hens daily. 5. Feed intake is decreased 60 per cent. 6. Egg weight declines by 11 per cent. 7. Egg shell thickness dec- clines to 77 per cent. (After a short period of high tempera- tures, shell thickness did not re- turn to normal after two weeks of cooler temperatures.) 8. Blood calcium level decrea- ses 25 to 30 per cent. 9. Hens lose weight, paralleling reduced feed intake. 10. Egg production drops 53 per cent. 11. At 100 degrees F., ferility and hatchability decline and death losses increase. 0’Leary 4-H Calf Club The O’Leau'y 4-H Calf Club held their regular meeting on June 6th at the home of Donna Smallman.

Within two weeks the P.E 1. boys were on guard duty with Headquarters, “A” and “B” Com- panies in the Sydney Area, and “C” and “D” Companies in the Halifax-Dartmouth Area. In November, 1939, the whole Battalion was concentrated in the Halifax-Dartmouth area. In May, 1941, the regiment was moved to Valcartier Camp for training and in July of that year _transferred to Botwood, Newfoundland. After a period of guard and outpost. duty the unit was again transferred in March 1942 to the Airpor. alt Gander Newfoundland, where they were stationed until March 1943. The Battalion was then moved to Canada and stationed at Sus- sex, N_B. until they took over the Garrison Gua-rd Duties in the Fortress of Saint John, NB_ in May 1943. MOVED TO B.C.

The accident (X:cllI'I‘ed at the corner of Prince and Water streets The Tracadie man's veh- icle caromed -off the other and collided with two other cars parked on Water street. In meting out the penalties, Magistrate Martin told the court that there was intirely too much drinking and driving going on and that the court would be cracking down considerably in the future. Gerald R. Foster appeared for the Grand Tracadie man and Somerled Trainer for the North River Road man. Similar charges were issued to three other men on the 17-case docket, the largest" of the year. A 45-year-old Edward Street man and ‘a 39-year-old Cornwall resident had their cases remand- ed to Thursday. The former is charged ‘with drunken driving and the Cornwall man with driv- ing while intoxicated. Crown Prosecutor J_P. Nicholson asked for the remand in order that documents might be issued a- gainst the two men. A 46-year-old. Greenfield man was fined $50 and costs or 10 days when he pleaded guilty to having the care and control of a motor vehicle while impaired. A remanded case against a 29-year-old Hillsboro Street man, charged with non-support on the complaint of his wife, drew an adjournment of one week. Coun- cel Lester O'Donnell informed the court -that the a-cused had obtained a new job and that his wife would drop the changes if he gave her money to support she and their child. A 40-year-old King Street man, charged with being drunk and in- capable on the complaint of his wife, had his case adjourned for one week. The 7accused's wife ap- peared in court and told Magis- trate Martin that her husband had‘ been drinking for some time and that he had been causing considerable trouble around the house.

The lone traffic case on the docket saw a Borden ma-ii fined $2 and costs. He was charged with going through a red light at the corner of Grafton and Queen Streets. The remainder of the docket consisted of drunk and incapable charges. Three of the accused were picked up together at the cor- ner of Richmond and Great George Streets Monday night. Two of the men, a 26-year-old resident of Prince Street and a 27-year-old city man of no stated address were given 20 days each while their companion, a 30-year- old Cape Breton man, was fined $10 and costs or five days.

In January 1944 the Battalion was again transferred from the Prince George Area to Vancouver Island where it was sucessively stationed at Port Alberni, Nan- aimo, Campbell River, Courtenay and Qualicum Beach. While stationed on Vancouver Island the Unit took part in tactical training, combined oper- ations, mountain climbing, etc., T0 WAINWRIGHT In August 1944 the Battalion moved to Wainwright, Alta., and spent the Month of September in advanced Tactical Training before moving to Terrace B.C. From Terrace, in September 1944, the unit proceeded on em- barkation leave assembling in Debert, N.S. early in January. On arrival overseas in Janu- ary 1945 it was immediately dis- banded and all ranks went into the general reinforemenl: stream_ MANY DRAFTS At various times the Island Highlanders had sent large drafts overseas; the first and probably most important being in May 1940 when a complete Company was transferred to the North Novas. Other large drafts went over» seas from the unit from Gander, Newfoundland, Sussex, N.B., Saint John N.B. and Nan-aimo, B. . Although the unit left Terrace, B.C. for overseas with a strength of 1150 all ranks, less than 50 of those had been members of the original Battalion. Original wartime Commanding Officer of the P.E.I. Highlanders was the late Lt.-Col. C.C. Thoma- son M.C., V.D. He was succeeded by Lt.-fol W.J. MacDonald, ED. now a member of the teaching staff at Prince of Wales College. Pair Convicted Of ‘Driving Automobiles While Impaired Fines of $10 and costs or five days were meted out to residents of Ingonish, N. S., Kingston, and Alley Street man.

Shovel Arrives For _ Bridge Job Contractors will begin placing “class two” material on the nor- thern approach to the Hillsboro bridge this week, according to Trans Canada Highways officials here. Brought to the Island for the express purpose of excavat- ing this much coarser type of fill is a 66-ton Lima shovel with -a capacity of two cubic yards. The class two material will be used to protect the sides and the ends of the approaches which join the bridge abutments at either end. This material will be 12 feet in width on either side of the approaches near the shore but wil. widen to 50 feet at the abutments. A second shovel is on order for the south approach and for the moment plans are being worked out as to how the huge machine can be transported to FISHING DAYS ‘ARE HERE AGAIN A Goon ROD A GOOD CATCH AND A GOOD CHEW YOU CAN’T BEAT IT WITH HICKEY’S TWIST most inexpensive salesman you can employ - - - a GUARDIAN- PATRIOT WANT AD Phone 8506 IN MEMORIM In loving memory of WINFIELD CHESTER SCOTT McLURE who died 18 June, 1955 Ever remembered by his wife and daughter. the site of digging operations.

Potato beetles are laying eggs and flea beetles are becoming quite active in Kings County of Nova Scotia, states this season’s first potato bulletin issued by the Science Service Laboratory on Charlottetown. The adult potato beetles will do very little damage but when the eggs hatch the young larvae will often destroy the crop. Fles beetles will puncture small holes in the leaves of the young growing plants but unless they are very numerous they will not reduce the crop yield to any great extent. This brood of flea beetles will disappear during the second week of July and the second brood will appear, early in Au- gust wnen they may cause more serious damage. DDT 50 per cent wettable pow- der, 2 lbs. to 100 gallons of wat- er or DDT 25 per cent emulsion, 1 quart of 100 gallons of water will control both potato beetles and flea beetles. If it is necesary to spray when the plants are small often one nozzle per row is all that is necessary. Organ Dedicated AI Belfast Church “In memory of the young men who made the supreme sacri- fice in World War One and World War Two”, a new Hammond elec- tric organ was dedicated at St. John’s Belfast Presbyterian Church last Sunday. In making reference to those who gave their lives, the Min- ister, Rev, Donald Nicholson re- minded the congregation of the necesity of a complete dedica- tion of mind, soul and body to Jesus Christ. Special praise selections were rendered by the choir and the Belfast Quartette.

It is emblematic of the outsandiug rural school of this Province flor the year in physical education activities. Although more schools than ever are taking advantage of play- ground equipment provided by various schools of the Province, Parkdale was the only which formlallly entered the com- petition for the Strathcona Shield this year.

They presented a well-balanced program which the children particularly seemed to enjoy and which is certainly benefiting them by way of P05‘ ture improvement, etc. _ “Such a program could (Julie easily be carried out by any school in the Province and would benefit both pupils - and teach- ers,” stated the director. He went on to say he hoped more teachers would follow the ex- ample of Parkdale teachers in giving their pupils the opportun- ity for such a program. House Moves OTTAWA (CP)—-The Commons Tuesday gave first reading to a bill enabling provinces to start drawing payments by July 1 un- der the Hospital Insurance Act. In a review, Health Min-ister Monteith said at least eight prov- inces are expected to be partici- pating by next Jan. 1 and five are in line to start receiving pay- ments by July 1. He gave this breawkdo-win. Ontario and New-foundl-and have signed arg-reements, the former scheduled to start receiving pay- ments next January and the lat- ter July 1. Other potential July 1 starters are the four western provinces. Manitoba was ready to sign. British Columbia had submitted an agreement to the federal gov- ernment. Saskatchewan had a draft agreement prepared. There was “some difficulty” in Alber- ta’s case, to be discussed here this week. It appeared that in its present form the Alberta legisla- tion might not meet the federal act’s requirements.
