The Legislature. Mr. Saville maintained, had done its duty in passing the Prohibition Act in its consolidated form; it was the duty of the people to get strongly be- hind its enforcement. "Not only have we not left the prohibition dup but we have put a. new siilt of sails on her," he de- clared. lle advised the D90Dl° who were trying to embarrass the Government on this issue to de- vote some of their efforts to tem- perance education. He also declared the taxpayers had n duty in helping the Gov- ernment implement its pledges re- garding economy and balanced budgets. HON MR. PRDWSE Appreciation of the Prem|er's fairness in leaving the portfolio members to deal with their own departments as well as in review- ing the financial situation, was expressed by the next speaker, Hon. T. W. L. Proiwse, Charlotte-_, Instead of the Premie'r's estim- ated deflclt of $70,000, the prov- inco last year had come out with a deficit of only $94,630. This, Mr. Prowse said, was n matter of pride to members of the Govem- ment. The objective of it balanced bud- get, he wamed, was not going to bring taxation r.-flicf. He had had the pleasure of bringing down the budget in the Charlottetown City Council for six years. and knew ince. The department expected to get over the more important portal something of the grave responsi- bility faclng the Premier today. Apart from nxed charges, there was less than a. million dollars Jo carry on the work of the pmvin e. He cited a statement of Premier Mackenzie King quoted in B 8'1- ancial paper with regard to stable decal policies. If next year we shall have a surplus in provincial revenues, the first thing would be to reduce our debt, Mr. Prowse continued. We 1 must advance to prosperity step by , step. and be sure that there ia a i firm foundation. Evidence of a return to pros- perity in Canada was cited in wholesale prices. As a. striking example of this. Mr. Prowse men- tioned woolen goods which have risen in wholesale price by 25 tu 331.6 percent and even thcseprices are being replaced by prices as lilgh as 40 percent. With regard to the National Park Mr. Prowse said we must not vertise the Park. One thing we fall down in is our failure to give the Island enough publicity. 'I'he importance of having pro- per bonds in the sinking fund was strongly emphasised. Confidence was expressed that the province under Premier Camp- bell would be "out of the red" be- fore long. - Mr. Prowse did not agree with those who were attacking the ed- ucational system at Prince of Wales College. The people were too ready to find fault and not suggest any concrete system of improvement. Boys and girls who fall to pass the P.W.C. examinat- ions, he emphasized, fail not be- cause of the faulty system but be- cause they do not study. Mr. Prowse commended the Pub- lic Works Minister's determination to keep expenditures as low as possible, and also his equitable distribution of highway work. From an employment standpoint the preparatory work on the roads was of more importance than the surfacing, and at the present time, until the hardsurfacing has been more thoroughly tried out, he thought it advisable to continue with standard subgrading. MR. W. F. A. STEWART A “bon voyage and a. safe re- turn" was extended by the next speaker, Mr. W. F. A. Stewart, Second Queens, to Hon. B. W. Le- Page. who leaves shortly' to rep- resent the province at the Coron- ation. Strcssing the riianner in ,which the public debt piles up Mr. Stew- art calculated that on every 100 acres of farm land in the province there is a mortgage of $540 not including arrears of taxes or the mortgages placed on them by the huge amount of the Dominion debt. Referring to the criticism that the Legislature was undemocratic because it had no official opposi- tion, Mr. Stewart asked: £‘W`ny should true democracy have an opposition?" He referred to the questions on the Order Paper as evidence that the public was not being kept in the darki The Conservatives. he main- tained, were the most disappointed people because the Liberals had not brought in a measure of Gov- ernment control. A MR. ANNEAH. That prosperity did not succeed in getting around the corner until this Govemment came into office' was the clainrmade by Mr. Mon- tague Annear, Fourth Kings, who said the fears that an opposition- less Government could not func- tion democratically had not been realized. He expressed approval of the start made in extending loans to needy fishermen. It should, he believed, be the duty of everyone in the Legislat- ure to assist young men in farm- ing and fishing activities. Agricultural production, he in- sisted, wlll always be our chief source of revenue. Livestock pro- duction is the mainstay of farm-» ing ln this provirice. Expert at- tention should be given to the cost of producing farm commod- ities so as to bring the best poe- sible prices. This problem, Mr. Annear pointed out, rests mainly with the farmers, but he strongly recommended it to the attention of the Agricultural Minister. The advantage to be derived from pro- per feeding of hogs was cltedas rn example. There was, he believed, room for the .services of an expert especially on nutrition. in connection with the Agricultural Department. Following Mr. Annear at 10.30 pm. Hon. Mr. LePage. the next speaker. moved adjournment. The House adjoumed until 11 o'clock this morning. Eastern Guardian ..‘S1JBSCR1PT10NS to the Charlottetown Guardian may be handed to their R/ept.

The annual campaign served a good purpose he thought becirvie it brought together the citizens of the community who were interest- ed lu the advancement of the or- ganization and put directors in touch with those whom it was de- sired to serve. The $7000 objective this year was 30 per cent over the 1935 ob- jective. the vice-chairman said.

His connection with the Y.M.C. A. went back to the year 1892, Mr. IA. W. Robb told in opening his I interesting address last night. Out ,of the firft mrnnry he earned he 1 had paid his membership to the he said. Heliari been a con- tinuous member since then. It was not all clear sailingwhen he was sccrctary, Mr. Robb said. Physical work and gym classes which were introduced during his connection with the local associat- ion were not approved by all the people of the city. To illustrate the feeling then he told the story of a. man who en- tered the Y.M,C.A. building early one Saturday evening and found two boys playing a game of check- ers. "Tut, tut, you should not be playing checkers on the evo ofthe Lordls Day", the man declared.

For the past 31 years he had had a locket on his watch chain with the letters "P. W.C.” inscribed on it, a gift of the College students. Many of those young people who were- associated with the "Y" at that time were later to become leaders in thin province and in other parts of Canada and the United States. “Young lives you are touching today are the citizens who will be the leaders in the days to come. They will be the better for your influence," Mr. Robb declared. He went on then to review briefly the history of the Y.M.C.A. from its founding in London by George Williams in 1844. It spread to Canada and the United States in the sa-me year and to Prince Edward Island not long after. When the Association was form- ed here t.here.were only 300 "Y's“ in the world. Now there are 10,500 units in 54 countries with a total membership of one and ahalf mil- lions. The late King George seid:“f.h0 Y.M.C.A. seems to 'be unitingthoso who in the years to come will be the leaders." "You have a good story and don‘t be` afraid to tell lt." Mr. Robb told the campaign workers in conclusion. A vote of thanks to the speaker was moved by Dr, J. A. Clark, president of the board of direct- ors. and seconded by Lt. Col. KB. Rogers. Mr. G. F.
