Cotton, and Honorary Rctarian Mr. Justice Arsenault, a!- the Rotary luncheon yesterday afternoon. Among the points brought out by these speakers were the following: That air transportation is steadily growing. that Prince Edward Island has a strategic position along the proposed transatlantic and trans- Canada air routes. that Charlotte- town should have a properly equip- ped to most further devel- opments in a rapidly developing service both from a co a1 or military standpoint, that the feasi- bility of air travel between the Ia- land snd the mainland has been fully demonstrated, that many tour- ists in the future will travel by plane as well as by auto. train and steamer. In i935, Mr. Grant pointed out, the Canadian Airways carried be- tween Charlotteicwn and Monsoon 1065 pounds o! eximl. 219.58 pounds of mails, and on the Mag- dalen Islands service 22 passengers. 150 pounds of express, 1635s pounds of mails. and six smbulsucaoaaesin the iouriceu trips. - i er arguments were advanced in show why governments. in- cial and municiPl-l should nctariau psesi and the guests were J. l.

The terms of the letter to the clergy, whoh is addressed to all members of the regular and sc- cular clergy. is couched in very definite terms. There is an appendix added which cites the decrees of the first plenary council of Que- bec “relative to the conduct of the clergy and members of religious orders in regard to politics." The decrees are in the authorized French text. ‘This first plenary coun- cil was held under the guidance of His Eminence the late Cardinal Taachereau, uncle of Premier Tas- cheweau, and the first Canadian cardinal. In the letter to the clergy just to hand, and above the signatures of the spiritual leaders, there are cited several extracts from the. de- crees oi the first plenary council, these extracts being given in quo- tation marks. The letter is dated from the Pal- ace oi tha Cardinal-Archbishop of Quebec, February 11th, i966. It fol- lows previous communications which His Eminence Cardinal Vil- leneuve has issued following upon his return to his seat from Eirmpo. and after the provincial general elections of November 25th. from which general elections arose con- siderable resentment as to the part which some members of the clergy were alleged to have played in the election campaign, and which also furnish the basis o1 some parts of election petitions taken against successful candidates oi the Op- position.

The club under the management of Elmer WB-ttfi. assisted by Mary Holmes, his secretary. was attempting m do big things for the improvement of the town, It was tacitly understood that Mary and Elmer would some day be married although Elmer was so wrapped up in the improvement program that he had little time for love-making much to the disgust of Mary. The arrival of Jay G. Hill, Sr., President of the Transcontlnen- tal Railroad and a native oi New- Vlllo. who was accompanied by his son, Jay G. Jr., and his daughter, Miss Conny, changed the whole tide of affairs in Newville. The plot; was skilfully developed and ended with the prospect of all “living happily ever after." In order of appearance the cast was as follows: Susie Fentou, stenographer at the Civic Club, was played by Miss Bernadette Gaudct. Miss Gaudet gave a splendid interpretation of the young girl who considered herself “ages older" than the young men of her own age.

Miss Vivian MacGulgan, as Mary Holmes, Elmer's secretary, portrayed a. strong character part. and a; mfljlllger of affairs in the civic club took s. leading role in the play.

He pro- Posed to Mary regularly but more or less as a matter oi course until the arrival of Conny touched a respcn- sive chord in his Irish heart. He then proceeded to make love to he; with all the fervor of his race and youth. The role of John Hastings, editor of “The Telegram" one of the New. ville papers, was well taken by Mr, A. M.

Thereby hangs my story. It was in the spring of i904.

Three Rivers and other points in Quebec province on the initial run for the season of the Imperial Limited. and asking me to round up the mem- bers oi the gallery and see that they were all at the railway station to welcome our visiting friends. There was no trouble about that.

B, March l6.- Potltions are being circulated today with the view cf inducing Chief of Police E. M. Slader to offer for commissionership in the civic elec- tion ln April, following his clash with Commissioner E. W. Walsh, head of the Safety Department, who is s candidate. Supporters of the chief have star- ted this movement, following his suspension Saturday for s, 30-day period. he said today they had not yet notified him of their action. Matron A. M. Adams and Detec- tive A. E, McBrien today were still carrying out their duties and Chief Inspector Horace McLeese, who Sat- urday was instructed to carry on as acting head of the police force, had received no order to dismiss them. MR. GEORGE HAM One of my colleagues at that time was Frank McNamara, brother of the late Judge McNamara, dismissed by the Hepburn govern- ment last year. Taking Frank aside I remarked that; it was up to us to make the night's festivities a suc- cess, and help George Ham out in his publicity work. I reminded Mc- Namara that there wcs in Ottawa at that time s. German band of five pieces which had been playing on the streets of the Capital ioraweek or ten days. Would he join me in engaging this musical aggregation to give zest. to our meeting with the Quebec men. Mac fairly shook with laughter when I made the sugges- tion to him, and then asked what it would cost. I told him it would not exceed five dollars each, where- upon Frank remarked, “Come on, let us make sure of them." And so the two of us headed for Bill Clc-‘ mcntfs hotel, where we had heard the Sons of the Fatherland were staying. we told Clement what our mission was. and in a few minutes he brought the leader to us. At first the German was reluctant to con- sider our proposal. He was afraid of police interference, but when I in- formed him that there would be no difficulty upon that score as the Mayor was to bein our partylcould guarantee that there would be no trouble so far as the police were concerned. That settled it. The en- gagement was made, the financial consideration was to be ten dollars, the amount Mac ondlhad mutually agreed upon. I gave the leader an advance of five dollars to bind the bargain, and with instructions in report at the station at midnight we parted from him. Shortly after the "Witching hour" had struck the mcmeber of the gal- lery. thirty-five or more, were at the railway depot, where we found the Germans awaiting us. There was no beautiful central station in those days simply a. temporal-y wooden shack with short platforms. The re- sult was that to meet our friends who were in the last car we had to walk quite a distance down the cin- der path. The Imperial Limited came in on time and a few minutes were occupied ln exchanging greet- ings with the visitors. I had sta- the platform, giving them instruc- GIANTS and JESTERS In Public Life one of the Ontario.

Up the stairs to Rideau street our curious procession made its way. Crossing Dufferin Bridge the band changed to "God save the King," which, played in quick time, makes a grand marching tune. Passing the old Russell House we could see nlghtcapped heads sticking out of the windows, the owners doubtless wondering what it all meant. There were two or three hobbies at Sparks street corner but vrhen the saw Mayor :“Jlnuny" Ellis heading the party they clicked their heels, sa- luted, and grinned. Along Metclzife street to Parliament Hill this re- markable company continued its march, the band rendering lusty service and fully earning their hon- orarium. As we entered the big building I'll be hanged it they didn't give us another instalment of "The Watch on the Rhine," the first and last time the air will ever be played in these halls. Into the “cellar," otherwise the parliamentary res- taurant, wherc Sam Cassidy, by in- structions of course, had an excel- lent supper laid, and it was not long before the fifty or sixty newspaper- men were enjoying themselves. The Germans were rcgalcd with sand- wiches and beer; the leader received his additional five dollars, and with our thanks for their services they were permitted to leave. The news- paper wmposium, however, lasted far into thmnight, or morning, as you prefer it. It was itifiicult to get ahead of George Ham. Drawing me aside during the course of the evening he remarked. “Fred this is the biggest stunt that I have ever been up against in my publicity work. People all over the Empire will rub their eyes tomorrow when they read that the Imperial Limited Ohits first ar- rival at the National Capital, was met by the Mayor and corporation oi the city, headed by the band of the Governor Generals Foot- guards." George fixed it. with the ncwspapermien that. in sending out their despatches they should con- vert the five sons of the Rhineisud into the fine musical organization of the premier regiment of the Do- minion. A week or two later, when Ham was again in Ottawa, I asked if the correspondents had all mnde the same announcement regarding the band. He laughed and said all but one little runt from a small city daily, and he would be horns- woggled before he gave that cirap another free trip. Two or three days ‘after the 0t- tawa episode Sir George shangh- nessy sent for George, and with a. twinkle in his eye asked what that damned thing at Ottawa meant—- Mayor and Cit/y Council, Guards’ Baud, etc, Ham, keeping s. prefectly stolid countenance, pleaded ignor- ance and blamed me for making all the arrangements. The following week Sir Thomas spotted me at the Rldcau. club. Taking me by the arm and leading me out of earshot-oi other members he asked, “Dld the C.P.R.. treasurer send you a. check for the services of the Guards‘ bandsmen?" I simply answered, "There is no chum! against tho company, Sir Thomas." Then. put- ting his head close to mine, he whis- pcrcd, "Cook, was it really the band of the Governor Generals Footguards?" I suppose. he saw the curious expression on my counten- ance when I replied. "Don't press me too closely on that point, Sir Thomas." And withthat he burst into a hearty laugh, put out his hand with a "thank yon" and left me. I have often wondered whether he learned the true facts. ‘There were more than n dozen men in Montreal who could have told him.
