The meeting went on record as favoring the idea of the assoc- iation having an official crest and it was decided to bring the idea before the provincial executive. The president gave a report on the last meeting of the Provincial Fish and Gnmernssociation which had been attended by the Prince County executive. There was an open discussion on the trout fish- ing season and by a show of hands the meeting decided to rec- ommend that the season should close on August 31st. By a motion it was unanimously decided not to interfere with the present open- ing date. There was some discussion on the recently built dams and some fear was expressed that they would not hold. The secretory. Mr. Nor- man MacLeori. sold thnt these fears had been brought to the at- tention of the Provincial Depart- ment of Industry and Natural Re- sources and fl promise had been received that periodic checks would be made nil winter of the condi- tion of the three new dams in Prince County. The president spoke with refer- ence to the opening of the hunt- ing season and said that there never has been a hunting fatoiitv on Prince Edward Island rind added "Let's keep it that why" He also advised the members to be courteous to fnrnic-rs. ask their permission before using their prop- erty and to be careful always to close gates. The secretary reported thnt. he had been out with Mr. Spurgcou Jenkins over the county nn:i sold it is evident that this year there will be large numbers of ducks in the countv for shooting and there may be it tendency to exceed the bag limit. He said that hunters who do this will only be hurting themselves. The members of the association should use their influ- ence to prevent hunters from breaking the law in this respect. The secretary said that Mr Jenkins asked him to express his appreciation to members for the co-operation he has been getting iii advising him of law infractions. Two people had recently laid in- formations and as a result two persons are to appear in court and a shot gun has been confiscated. He also advised the meeting that some shooting has been done in the Maipequc area and he felt that the ducks have been scared away from there for the season. It was decided that the meeting next month will be held at" Tig- nish. Following the meeting sev- eral films on hunting and fishing were shown. - S. to the rear of the wagon.

Work Very Gretifylng In announcing the winners Col- onel Johnston remarked that the quality of the work done was very gratifying indeed. and noted that one successful contestant in a community had the effect of stim- uinting many of his neighbours into property improvements. This has been particularly noticeable in the past two or three yedrs. Thus the influence of the Society's rompetiiiom extended fnr beyond the actual number of contestants in any one year. Col. Johnstone drew attention to the remarkable achievement of the winner of the Hon. J. A. Bernard Trophy for greatest home improvement in the prov- ince. Mr. Edward Dyment of Msrgate. Mr. Dyment. entering Ihc competition for the first time this year. changed the appear- ance of his property almost out of recoznition. The house was paint- ed completely. white walls, blue stain roof. barns painted through- out. while with red trim. The barnyard was levelled off by many loads of fill and separated from house and garden by an attract- ive pioket fenoe. A spruce 'hedge was started on the northwest line to protect the house and gar- den. some old trees were stumped out and grounds levelled to pro- GIIARDIAN.

Simplification of admin- istrative machinery and re- duction of government ex- penditurc. 2. Giving house building a priority second only to not- ional defence. with the aim of the getting 300.000 new houses a year. 3. Increasing national out- put. ”Here is the surest way to keep our people fully em- ployed. to halt the rising cost of livin-z and to preserve our social services." 4. Retaining state control of the coal industry with a decentralized administration. 5. Reorganization of public- ly-nwned rail and road trans- port into regional groups of workable size. Private mick- ers ”will be given the chance to return to business." 6. Maintenance of the system of guaranteed agricultural prices and markets. Against Bulk Buying The manifesto contained one statement which could foreshadovw the end of much of Britain's pres- ent system of bulk buying: "To obtain more food. practical knowledge and business experi- ence must be released to comb the world for greater supplies." The conservatives have main- tained for some time that the Labor Government's bulk buying of meat from abroad has been ill failure from Britain's point of view. The platform promised support for the 534.700.000.000 three-year rearmament program started by the Labor Government. but main- tained that more vnlue in terms of actual defence could be gotten out of l'lhe immense manpower and sums of money which are in- valved." or renovated. The fences along the mud frontage and the extens- ive lane from road to house have been painted and outline what is now one of the most attractive homes in the province.

Station, Summerside yesterday and in- spected Belgian aircrew students training here as part of Canada's N.A.T.0. contribution. The group was headed by Lt. General E. Baele, president of the Belgian chiefs of staff committee. Others in the, group were: Lieutenant Colonel O. Harteon, secretary chiefs of staff committee; Coi- onel A. Rosarl. assistant to the Belgian delegation to the Produc- tion Bnard of N.A.T.0.. and Lt. Col. Edouart de Vioq do Comp- iich. military and air attache to Canada. Lt. Gen. Basic and Lt. Col de Vicq de Com-ptich gave a short conference in which they spoke very highly of the contribution Canada is making to the defence of freedom in providing aircrew training for the N.A.T.O. coun- tries. Lt. col. de Vlcq de Camp- tich recalled the very beautiful -ceremony held at Summerside last spring when the first N.A.T.O. course were graduated as navig- ators and at which he had been present. He said that the graduates were rpartlculagiy grateful to the com- mnandmg officer of the station who had given them the oppor- 'illnli)' iA'illi9 here to visit. other parts of Canada. He stated that at present there are 25 Belgian students training in Canada as pilots and navigators at Gimli. iMnn.. Cr-niralia and Summersidc. Belgian air crew are also being trained in the United States. Lt. Gen. Baele said that he hoped that more Belgian a:rmen would be able to train in Canada but vthepnum-bcr is laid down every -year by N.A.T.0. Those who have returned home after com- 'plclinz training here have been immediately posted to active ser- vice units. Speaking of his homeland, the General said that the people of -Belgium are very much aware of the danger of war. He explained. however, that there is very little domestic Communism in Belgium and one of the reasons he gave er is comparatively well off. He expressed his gratitude to Defence Minister Claxton for -making it possible for him to visit the stations where Belgian -airmen are stationed and before lcaving on return to Ottawa. he said that one of the better things about this training of Europeans in Canada and the United States is that it help: to create a better spirit among the peoples of the various countries. 1 PEI community Continued from page I had developed in any way people chose to build. The grcdtest difficulty he fore- saw was in the educational angle as the public was not yet. fully aware of the intent of the Plan- ning Board and had to be told the facts. "If our city is to proceed with town planning there must be a. better understanding by the people", Mr. Hyndmsn said. i Mr. Harrington pointed. out that there was another level of gov- ernment in his Province, that of municipalities, and oonsequmuy there was a difference of operat- ion of planning between here and there. He stated that his Province had early secured the services of a community planning expert who had prepared a booklet dealing with the subject for them. They had their planning auitant visit any community con- in in addition early made use of aerial photography. - Cities Mioncton Ares Mr. Parsons said the planning area of Moncton included a seven- miie radius and outside the city limits they were faced with a big 'seilir:g' job in making the people conscious of the need Of planned development. He spoke of the con- flict existing in many places be- tween planning boards and city councils jealous of losing some of their authority. Mr. Gates regretted the lack of standardized practices by planning boards. Members of the latter were plished all this in the course of. one summer with very little out-' side help. in addition to carrying' on the normal routine of a busy! flourishing form. The George, Brnokins Trophy and R. T. lioi-i man Co. prize for the outstanding home in Prince County were also awarded to Mr. and Mrs. Dyment. In-n Content In Queents Decision on the awards for the, outstanding home in Queen's County was difficult. Three very fine properties were in the run- ning and only very minor points gave the award to Mr. Willard. Prowae of Bracklcy. Runners-upl were Mr. Wylie Gibson of Marsh-i field and Mr. R. L. Bryenton Jai Son of Brsckley. Ool. Johnstone also commended the exceiicnireliort of st. John's church. st. Elennors. winner of the Community Improvement award for Prince County. The church was painted throughout and new windows installed; trees and flowers were planted along the road frontage, fences were painted and a concrete pavement laid from the road to the church; the cemetery was levelled off. new lawns planted and monu- mcnts straightened. Judges in the competition were Messrs. Walter L. Beer. Montague for Kings; J. Harry Brown. Kenn- ington for Queen's; and 0. Ralph Monkley. Miroouche for Prince. Mr. Gordon Warren. Dominion nperimontai station assisted in vide s. new lawn and flower gar- den. old fsocu were torn down provincial winner- the final judging of county end frequently business men who did not have the time to investigate all the angles presented. He maintain- ed they nccdecl technical advice. He also stated every municipality in a province should come under planning lows and set up its own planning board. A lively discussion started with delegates asking questions from the floor. Among those taking psrt were Mezsrs. Lou Davis, Moncton. Percy Fowler. saint John. George Bates. Halifax. U. J. Harrington. Holi- fnx. Alan Armstronfl. Ottawa, Wil- liam Tihbs. Halifax. and Hon. Eugene Cullen. Charlottetown. Mr Cullen said that many of our people do not appreciate what has been done or should be done. He spoke of the problem presented by the 'fringe area' of this city and said zoning regulations had been passed for it. The opersiion so flr he said. had been preventive to guard against future errors. Mr. Peter Pole. 0'Lea.ry. said it should really be called "town and rural planning" and that needed were laws with real teeth-"Not laws with false teeth which on so easily removed." Metropolitan Planning On the subject of Metropolitan Planning the discussion wss led by Mr. Eric Thrift. Winnipeg. who said that more and more cities were coming to reslize the neces- sity of planning on s metropolitan metropolitan sreu Is urban cen- expected to take place and said it was just urban development cer- tres where development may be ricd to its logical conclusion. Mr. Percy Fowler described the planning in saint John and said there should be planing boards in very city and town in Cansds. Ho sdded that Provincial Gov- ernments have a definite re- sponsibility in the field of plan- ning for the future. Mr. George Bates, Halifax, said most of the planning to data had been confined to individual towns and communities. He maintained that the first requisite was ef- fective zoning. Mr. Ira P. Macnmbb warned all planners to oonsider first the ser- vices it was necessary to supply the public when they made plans. He said the principal thing in planning was to make for better living and this could not he done unless the economic aspects were thoroughly considered. He. spoke of the great difference in supply- ing such services as water and sewerage between Nova scotia with its granite underground and this Province with its sandy soil. Mr. lilacnsbb, who is president of the Engineering Institute of Canada, said boards could not plan for Charlottetown alone.bui must instead plan for the longer area surrounding the city. He bluntly told the meeting that they must widen their views and for- get petty ideas and districts. Civio Luncheon City Councillor J. D. Stewart presided at the luncheon tender- ed the visitors by the City Charlottetown. At the head table were Mayor Henry Wedge. Sum- merside. Ira Macnabb. Halifax. Mayor F. C. Wightmsn.
