Island His- toric Society which I hope the nucleus here tonight will take advantage of and interest the people of the whole Province ill its development." Premier Mathe- son said last evening following an address of Capt. W.B. Armit. R.D. R.C.N.. tilt curator at the Army Museum Halifax Citadel. at is sup- per meeting in the Y.M.C.A. last night. "You have a very import- ant function and if you can get membership from all over the province we will do our best to back you to a degree." the Prem- ier said. Spcaking along the same lines. Mayor .I. D. Stewart commended the Society for its activity thus far. "A start must be made in the city towards the development of a Provincial museum, which would. I believe. be located in Charlotte- town because it is the capital city and also the geographical centre of the Island." He congratulated Mrs. Brebaut on the splendid work she has done in gathering items of interest and developing a deeper interest in the preservation of such items to posterity." He as- sured the members of the support of the city administration. when the society has made a start such as Premier Matheson had describ- ed Lieutenant Governor T. W. L. Prowse said "It seems to me that the Capital city is the proper and logical place to have a museum. I feel sure that many citizens would be delighted to see the ef- forts of the society in this respect, crowned with success.” Hon. B. Earle MacDonald. Min- ister of Health and Welfare ex- pressed pleasure at being present and said he found it encouraging to hear the Premier deal with the matter of a museum as he did. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Jitstice Tweedy who described the act to Incorporate the P. E. Island Historic Society assented to April 8th. 1882. The body cor- porate was composed of Hon. Thomas Heath Haviland. Hon. Ed- ward Palmer. Rt. Rev. Peter Maclntyre. D.D.. Rev. George W. Hodgson. Charles Palmer. George Alley and Donald Ferguson. and their associates. Mr. F. A. S. Jones. previous to introducing the guest speaker. described the activities of the Historic Tours Section of the Centennial committee. on whose invitation Captain Armit was vis- iting the city. "We have learned many things of great value since he arrived and cannot thank him sufficiently for coming here and the interest he has taken in our work." he said. Capt. Armit in the course of his address described in interest- ing detail the inauguration and development of the Anny Muse- um in the Halifax citadel. A course which may be followed in part In the establishing of a museum in Charlottetown.

Mr; speaker said he had searched the records available to him in Halifax and found that the British regiments which had drafts in P. E. I. in the middle of the last century consisted of the 97th Regiment of Foot t-Queen's Own Royal West Kents). 42nd Royal Highlanders, and pro bably the 76th Regiment of Foot, 2nd Batallion the Duke of Well- ington's Regiment. the regiment in garrison in Halifax from 1853 to I858. "Charlottetown was incorpor- ated in stirring times" said Capt. Armit. "Early in 1854. war was declared against Russia. Nova Scotia, in common with other British North-American Colonies. entered heartily into the spirit of the contest. both Lcgislativ Council and House of A ” sending addresses to Her Majesty expressive of loyalty and willing- ness to assist by maintaining the defence of the Province should the rights of Great Britain be attacked on these coasts. The Governments perhaps optimistic- ally informed the Imperial au- thorities that if it became neces- sary to withdraw one or both of the regiments then in garrison at Halifax, an effective military force could be raised in the Pro- vinces to undertake the duties of the garrison. and it could be aug- mented to a strength of fifty ihousand men.

(Reuters)-A govern- ment report Tuesday underlined that Britain and her sterling-area partners suffered a major finan- cial setback in trade with the rest of the world for the last half of 1954. i The sterling area showed a deficit of 19.164.000.000 in external trade for the period. Britain. banker for the area, had an over-all trade deficit of C12.- 000,000. The statistics were published in the treasury's economic survey. In the first half of 1954 Britain had a surplus of I-372,000,000. The area as a whole showed a sur- plus of 5:l71.000.000. MORE OUT THAN IN The survey said the two main reasons for the reversal were: 1. An increase in Britain's im- ports. 2. Worsening of terms of trade. This means the area sold its ex- ports for less and pal more for imports. A third reason. it said. was a fall in wool prices last fall. For 1955 prospects. the survey said: The in mediate outlook for world trade appears .easonab'y favor- able. . . "In North America the demand for imports is showing signs of picking up following the business recovery which began last an- tumn." Claim New Paint Hides Obiecfs From Radar TORONTO (CP)-The Globe and Mail says today the Canadian In- ventive and Scientific Associates claim to have the formula for a paint which canshide objects from a radar beam. John D. Laun. president of CISA who say they hold commercial rights to the product in Canada. would give few details. The Globe and Mail says. The paper quotes Mr. Laun as saying that the paint was developed by two Swiss in- ventors whose names are being kept secret. Basis of the paint is believed to be a vegetable mate- rial with the quality of prevctting reflection of the radar beam. Mr. Laun said United States in- telllxence recently discovered two scientists in Switzerland who have perfected the material. It was put through intensive tests In the U.S. and now is in the hands of the U. S. government. he said. He said the paint has other rev- olutionary qualities. It would with- stand acid or alkali corrosion and temperatures of up to 900 degrees fienitigrade and had improved ad- es on.

Members Suggest Finance Companies Probe HALIFAX (GP)-Private mem- bers euggeated in the Nova Sootla legislature Tuesday that finance companies should be investigated but the equally critical govern- ment stayed mum on whether an inquiry would be undertaken. Premier Hicks said that al- though interest rates on loans were re ted by the federal government "there may be some other aspect of their business we could probe." He said a constituent borrowed money from a bank after consider- ing a finance company and repaid the loan at six per cent. "He would have paid about so per cet to a finance company." Mr. Hi said. "It might well be that these companies should be subject to further regulations or Iegislation." "STRANGLE HOLD" His remarks echoed those of G. I. Smith (PC-Colchester) who said "some things" about repos- sessions by the companles in lieu of payments "bear ' " into." CCF Leader Michael McDonaI said the companies had a "strangle-hold" on borrowers. Criticism of the companies erupted into a.fu1l dress attack during consideration of govern- ment estimates when J. Clyde Nunn (L - Antigonish) said be viewed their operations "with mis- givings." Among estimates approved by the house at Tuesday's sittings were S9.1l4,.'i73 for general educa- tion purposes; S58I.420 for the Nova Scotia school book bureau aind 3384.708 for vocational educa- ton.
