However, since there is a shortage both of steel and of time, the wooden flooring will have to do until next year. Fire Protection With the planking there has been installation of some addit- ional fire-fighting equipment in line with the departmental policy -of making the vessel as highly fire-resistant as possible. Both water and chemical sprinkler sys- ierns are installed throughout the ferry and can be controlled by but- tons on the bridge. It was the pos- sible fire hazard of the planking that met with objections when the project was first suggested. but the Canadian National Railways. it is now revealed, agreed that with steel flooring below and around the wooden planking and the Avhoie covered with fire-resistant surfacing. danger would be cut to a minim/um. in addition to the planking. the Abeguveit has had a thorough bath and scrubbing and a new coat of paint to sweep away the travel- stains of s. year's service.

In many a case death would have been a welcome escape. If you, yourself. have not suf- fered, then, ln pity, which is nat- ural to you, think of your sisters ‘III WOMEN who are living in torment, and the larger number who will suffer if this so-called "New Temperance Act" comes into force.

Impression-s 0f \ Recent llog Show A visitor to the Dog Show held by the Charlottetown Kennel Club on Monday last could not fail to be impressed by the renew! air 01 goodafellowshlp and good snorti- manshijp that prevailed the whole dgy through; every one seemed happy, especially the dogs. for they enjoyed a perfect orgy of barking against each other all the time. The show ran very smoothlyfrom start to finish. The very capable staff of r1118 stewards kept-the judge busy all the time. and. there were o ions waits, a thing that is often he ruin of so many shows. The judge was Mr. Wm. McDer- nient, M.B.E.. of Toronto, and his most efficient work was the main factor in keeping his audience in- terested at each session. Mr. Mc- Derment gave each dog brought before him a very thorough exam- ination. and his knowledge and experience enabled him to make clean cut decisions rapidly; and his wonderful memory and keen eye enabled him, after once seeing a dog, to carry a picture of that dog in'hls mind, and he never haul to return to that dog again after once seeing it. He also seems to have that very rare faculty of making- anexhibiior-feei that his dog has been given every consid- eration and has been SW91! every point that is coming to him. His ‘decisions were anxiously watched by a. large audience throughout the day, and many times brought round after round of-applause. His final judging for the supreme a- ward of best in show was awaited with breathless excitement. and. when finally given, was greeted with round after round of sp- plause. Mr. McDerment did a grand job and he made a great impression on those who were privileged to watch his work, and admire his gentlernanly and charming manner with all exhibit- crs. The children's handling classes for boys and girls between the ages of 8 to 16 years was. as al- ways, one of the highlights of the show. This year. Mrs. William Constable of Boston. Mass, very kindly consented to judge these classes and she gave them all a very keen examination, her final awards being: Boys’ 1st prize. Robt. Lusby of Halifax; 2nd. Blair Scranton of southport; 3rd. Jimmy Wood of Charlottetown; 4th, Paul Jenkins. also of this City. The girls put on a really clever show, also judged by Mrs. Cons- table.

June 22 - (G)- l-Ioueing, munempioyment and old age pensions were among subjects discussed today as the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Muni- cipalities began its 11th annual conference here. Tonight the some N0 delegates and their wives were entertained st a banquet given by the City of Fredericton. sponsor of the four- dav meeting along with Halifax, Mvncwn. N.B-. and Charlottetown. Lieutenant-Governor D. L. Mac- Laren of New Brunswick was the guest speaker. Proceedings at the luncheon, given by Saint John, N. B., were enlivened when Thomas D'- Alesandro of Baltimore, one of 20 United States visitors, declared he had stumbled on "strong evidence" of Coirrmufiia-n in Halifax. ,3 Hugh R. Pomeroy, a Nefi runs- wick housing official. la ngly remarked: “Our friend is unable to distinguish between Liberal red and Conservative blue and I hope my fellow Americans will put him straight before he leaves." Mayor James D. McKenna of Saint John traced the history of that seaport, which holds the old- est city charter in North America. Guest speaker at the luncheon was R. H. Samnderl, chairman of the Hydro-Electric Power Com- mission of Ontario. Mr. Saunders, a former mayor of Toronto, described the city's public owned power and transportation systems. At an afternoon session w. Pamercy, fonrner director of the United States National Associat- ion of Housing Officials. delivered an address entitled "low-cost, low- rental housing." After outlining various methods of attacking housing problems, Mr. Psmeroy said "subsidized puiblic housing is the only answer to the question." New York and other states already had embarked on comprehensive programs. "Inadequate housing is a. con- tinual denial of humandignity,” he said. "and I em convinced that despite the boom and bust pirates the United states and Canada will conquer this problem." It was infinitely more costly for a. community to tolerate slums and poor housing than to take meas- ures for their removal-"such con- ditions breed juvenile delinquency. fire hazards and venereal disease." Tax On Crown Properties Mayor Lucien Borne of Quebec, chairman o! a committee on tax exemption of crown properties. presented s report in which he urged that the Federal Govern- ment again be asked for declarat- ion of policy on this matter. Halifax and Saint John, N. B. have been granted payments in lieu of taxation on railway propert- 10s during the last year. Mr. Borne said “if this has been considered justified in some cases, the prin- ciple should apply in general..." 'i‘he conercnfce decided by reso- lution "that the Federal Govern- ment be urged to recognize and assume full smd complete re- sponsibility for the necessary re- lief of all unemployed employables." A resolution that would ask the Federal and Provincial Govern- merits to hoist old age pensions to $50 a. month for persons more than 65 was sent back to commit- tee alter efforts to kill it were talked down by Sasikabcliewflm. Ontario and Manitoba delegates. Newspaper Publisher W. E.

Housing, Unemployment And Old Age Pensions Discussed By Mayors Maple Nills Blilgs. Purchased (Iuiright By Provincial cm _._.-_ The Provincial Government has purchased outright from the War Assets Corporation all those build- ings at Maple Hills which, since June 1, 1946, and until recently, have housed 100 families. It is the intention to have all the buildings moved and the ground levelled to its original contour this fall, it was learned yesterday. Nineteen families . have moved since May 1st and i5 others have expressed their intention of buying their present quarters or other suitable buildings in the area from the Provincial Government and of moving them elsewhere.

He stated Rotary had 19 young rnen studying in different parts of the world and that when some of those young men returned this year there would be some in- teresting and instructive disclos- ures on the economic, political, and social conditions under which peo- ple in other countries were living. World Peace Requirement Speaking of the unrest in Europe and other parts of the Eastern Hemisphere, Mr. Golden said the world will not have peace until it is ready for peace. "We are going to have wars in the world," he said. "as long as there are more dogs than bonesWMaking Europe free gifts of aid, he said. is not the way to solve her troubles, Instead, it would be much better to en- courage the European countries by judfcisl aid to develop their own resources so that they may recover their self-respect and attain their own economic security. "You nev- er can get a big enough police force," he said, "to stop men and women from fighting for food." Mr. R. H. Rogers, Charlottetown, spoke on the great influence which the late Col. J. L. Ralston. Rotar- lan, had on Canadian affairs dur- ing the war years. A great lawyer, churchmen, soldier, and states- man, Col. Balaton, Mr. Rogers said, had been one of Canada's greatest citizens. At the close of Mr. Rog- ers’ address, one minute's silence was observed in memory of Col. Ralston. The luncheon at The Charlotte- town was divided into two sections with Mr. Percy W. Turner as chair- man in Dining Room A and Mayor Frank Arnett, Summerside presid- ing in Dining Room B. Both rooms were connected by a sound- transmitting system to hear the guest speaker, Mr. John Fisher, C.B.C. radio commentator. Mr. Fisher spoke on the prob- lems confronting democracy in s. world which is now one-fifth Com- munist. The citizens of a demo- cracy have no feelings cf respon- sibility to the State in times of peace,’ Mr. Fisher said. That is where the superiority of Commun- ism lies. The Communist, his wife, and his family belong to the State and that loyalty and faith is en- forced by the bayonet. It is a ter- rible system but it is also a terrib- ‘ ly efficient one. he said. In a democracy, the citizen feels he had done something meritorious or at least not censorlous when he cheats the Government of his rightful share of any responsibility including his paying of income tax. The reactionary capitalist, Mr. Fisher said. who wants to maintain the status quo of his grandparents is just as great a menace to de- mocracy as the wild eyed Red who plots democracys downfall. 'i‘here is a middle course which the Am- erican and Canadian must follow if democracy is to triumph. That way is to find the right propor- tion between state control and free enterprise. ' Mr. Fisher did not believe the solution for the present crisis ln international affairs could be re- solved by war, Even the free ua- tions, he said, lost much of their freedom through regimentatlon during the last war. and another war, while it might mean the de- feat of Russia, could also mean the loss of personal freedom to the peoples of the victors. In the afternoon the delegates were taken for an enjoyable motor drive through the Green Gables country. About B0 cars were used on the trip. Refreshments were served to the visitors on arrival at the Golf Club and after viewing various points of interest, they returned to the City about 8.90. Evening Session Lent night at the evening dinner session at the Claerlottetown Hotel. the guest speaker, Mr. Charles Hunt, introduced by Mf- Chi-ll“ J. Burcheil, Halifax, paid tribute to a former Islander. Dean Donald Macias, who assisted in the form- ation of the Charlottetown Club in 1917 and who. he said. Wee the 0!’- iginator of the fourth objetzt of Rotary which embodied the idea of peace and Ioedwill. Mr. Hunt referred to the fine part record of Clubs in this dis- trict but warned the delegates that they must not rest on the oars d past achievement. He stressed the Aided Organization 0f Rotary In (iity Mr. Charles Hunt, 8t. Johns, "Wflmlldlllld.

JWEMIELJBIIES (Continued from Page 1) working until dark." The Premier said he had arrived back in Charlottetown Monday night by motor and had been for- ced to wsit for four hours at ‘rer- mentine before making tho cross- lflB to Borden. "That situation is a disgrace." he declared. ‘and it will not be remedied until we nave an auxiliary boat to carry over passenger cars and trucks." He also scored the lack of any rest room at Tormentine for the accommodation of passengers from the mainland to this Province, and said there was no excuse for this. situation. "A few rnen could build a tenuporary one in a few hours,” he added. The argument of the Dominion authorities with respect to trans- portation facilities between the Island and the mainland, the Pre- mier said, was that it had spent $7,000,000 on the terminals at Tor- mentlne and Borden and another $7,000,000 on building the MN. "Abegwelt". “The Dominion Gov- ernment forgets," the Premier said, "that the millions of dollars of wealth produced annually by this Province is spent mostly for the benefit of the Central Provinces."

Most other Opposition members agreed. The bill provides that the life of the board will be fixed by Government pIOCIGJnBLIOn. Works Minister Iburnfer, acting House leader, said the Agricultural Prices Support Board Act was passed in 1944. It provided for a Board which would have a $210,- 000,000 fund for use in keeping farm prices from dropping too low. A Government proclamation was issued in 1946 bringing the Board into operation for a two-year per- 0d. That period expired last March. The Government was under the impression that the Board's life could be extended through an- other proclamation, but the Just- ice Department ruled it had to be done by Act of Parliament. need for Rotarlans to obey the rules and by-laws of their Club and he expressed pleasure at see- ing the calibre and strength which is being maintained in the organ- ization by its younger members. He described Rotary service "as a wonderful challenge". "The greatest of s.ll rewards," he said. “is the smile of underprivileged boys." Mk‘. Hunt called on fellow delegates to show some concrete expression of their sympathy for those in sorrow and affliction. I-Ie likened the Rotary organiz- ation to a large family and he emphasized the importance of the family as the core of our society.
