The flame-blackened City of New York, last of Canada's large wind- jammers, ended 9. long drift on Cheboque Ledge off Yarmouth Harbour, where a port official pre- dicted: - "She's there to stay." The 391-ton veteran, converted to a coastal cargo ship when bought in 1943 by Capt; Lewis Kennedy of Conqueraii Bank, N. 5.. was be- ing towed to Lunenburg by the motor vessel Arctic Sealer when her towline snapped.

Shaw, The season of 1952 will go down in the records as one of the most pleasant in our history. From the opening of Springtime until the year's close, weather conditions were delightful. There were more than the aizeragc hours of sun- shine, particularly during August and September, and mild, tron- quil conditions with very little evidence of frost prevailed, until the closing days of the year. Lack of rainfall produced good and bad effects. There were no spring freshets to carry off water. and the heavy snowfall of the winter melted gradually and was absorbed into the earth. This con- servation of moisture in the soil reservoir served to carry growing crops over the subsequent dry season without noticeable injury.

The tourist trade prospered and many favourable comments were heard regarding our delightful Summer and Autumn climate. Road conditions were maintained in 'tip-top shape throughout the usual "muddy season", while farmers facing a distinct labour shortage were able under smiling weather conditions, to harvest all their crops in excellent shape. and in addition complete the full round-up of Fall work. On the other hand a serious shortage has developed in water supply. and in many localities the drying up of springs. the usual water supply sources, have com- pelled farmers to water their stock in distant waterways, and ?i-&'gTf&i7T I - - - - 3-T53-.1?!-TFJ-T4-Fl-T-E-Fl!-VF!-'1-Ti-Ti-Tiii-Jill; iii if .. th wit 16 PAGES But what Joy untold doth New Year hold, and what hopes L MAXIMS OIA MERE MAN C the bin it sleep!

Two hundred and twenty-one miles of road were ditched, twenty miles were paved with standard pave- ment, twenty-six miles were paved with light pavement, and over one hundred miles cleared of trees, making a total of over three hun- dred and sixty-seven miles of road improved during the year. Pavement Maintenance. although extensive and costly after the severe winter of 1951-52 was be- gun before the frost was out of the ground and completed in its first of Spring stage, before our tourist season got under way. As pavements age, maintenance costs rise and since some of our pave- ment is now eighteen years old. we must expect to replace it in the near future. The Department has been en- deavouring to delay further, re- building df the Charlottetown- Summersidu highway until an alternate route is completed via Borishaw. Present indications are. however, that a severe spring may force us to add to the io miles ai- reedy re uilt at Fredericton and New A must sn earlier date than planned.

This work. designed to teke advantage of the exceptionally fine fall weather. should improve snow clearing on these roads this winter, and will clear the way for either mainten- ance or heavy construction early next Spring. Ordinary mainten- ance was made easier by the splen- did weather and much heavy ditch- ing was doneto add to the many miles of construction.
