At present. a partition dividing the store from north to south is being built. It yhas been learned reliably but un- officially that the Enman Drug Co. Ltd. plans to lease the east section in which to open a branch drug store. The manager of this firm is lMayor Henry Wedge. It is under- stood that the T. Eaton Co. will open a mail order office in the cor- ner section of the building and it is reported that the rear part with an entrance on Central Street wilil ,be rented by the Robert Simpson .company for a similar purpose. 'There are reports that a medical clinic will be established upstairs but as far as can be learned it is only in the discussion stage. - S. Du;-, ,1, H. Myrick.

If you want fast growth and economical gains . . . more pounds of pork per bag of feed . . . see us about New School At Slemon Park Is Occupied A new school which has been erected for the children of Slernon Park, the Summerside R.C.A.F. Station residential area. has now been occupied although all the building is not completed. This ten-classroom school is probably superior to any school in the province in its modern equip- ment, furnishings and design. The building is only one storey and each classroom has a door lead- ing directly outside as a fire es- cap:. The door can be opened from inside simply by pressing on a bar but it cannot be opened from the outside at all. Practically all one side of each classroom is window space and the lower part of each window opens inward in such a way that no draft will be caused. The building is steam heated and the temperature in each room is ther- mostatically controlled so that each teacher can see to it that a suitable temperature prevails. There is an interior telephone system by which each classroom is connected with the principal's office, Each room has an electiric clock above the blackboard which is connected with a master clock in the principals office and this clock system operates the auto- matic ball which sounds for the commencement and end of per- iods etc. Each classroom also has, a loud speaker so that educational radio -programs can be heard and recordings may be played. VA most interesting feature are the cloak closets which are at the rear of every room. There are five or six doors which are flush with the wall and when one is pushed they all open simultan- eously revealing the clothes hooks within. All rooms are equipped with fluorescent lighting and in addition special lights are focus- ed on the blackboard. Rooms are equipped with various sizes of cupboards, drawers. and shelves for the various classroom sup- plies. The blacloboards are of plate glass which is the latest thing in this type of equipment. One of the classrooms is fitted out as I kindergarten and this room is self-contained with its own wash room which has low set basins for the youngsters. There is also the necessary equipment for serv- ing lunches to the children. A As Algnen For Weekend Prior to the taking off by group of French airmen from R. C. A. F.

New Health Centre "Other matters which have been partly paid for out of our con- struction grants from Othwa. in- clude the new Health Centre on Prince Street. In this building we new house all branches of the De- partment of Health & welfare, It is much more convenient to the general public and much more sat- isfactory to the staff to have all under one roof. I-Ieretofore, the different offices were scattered throughout the town. In order to meet the Chief Health Officer or the nursing staff one was compen- ed to go to the Banatorium build- ing. The Vital statistics Division was located in the same building. Old Age Pension Offices were on Great George Street. Offices for Mothers' Allowances, Social Assist- ance and extra.-mural assistance for TB. patients were in the Pro- vince Buiiding. Now all are gath- ered in one building at 138 Prince Act. This legislation was drawn by me and was passed by the House with few corrections. I had the advantage of having before me the legislation of other Provinces. The enactment of this legislation is a great advance in our Wel- fare program. It provides assist- ance for mothers of dependent children whose husbands are dead or unable because of illness to pro- vide the ecessiti of life for their families. In supplying I degree of support to such mothers we are able to keep homes intact. We were the last Province in Canada to enumerate this legislation. "To enumerate additional bong- fits therefrom let me point out firstly that in the cities and towns the effect of the Act was most noticeable because no social assist- ance was directly available from the Government for the residents of incorporated areas. and there- fore the Mothers' Allowance Act helped materially in such touns. Secondly, that the grants under social assistance were lower than the present grants under the Mo- thers' Allowance Act. Thlrdly. it made the recipient of assistance feel as if she were getting help not relief. I am not fully satisfied with the way this Act has worked out. and in the latter part. of this ad- dress I will outline our future plans. "In our social assistance program we have substantially increased our grants to needy families. but the program is not as complete as I would like to see it. This help to the needy must be linked with our Mothers' Allowance and Old Age Pension program. with the help of my Department officials I have been reviewing the work and sum- 1943 and the building was opened in 1940. Today we have one of the finest homes for our aged people in any place in Canada. In fact. one lady from Massachusetts told us that the institution was better than any she looked- over in her own country. You may say, 'What did she know about it'." Well, let me tell you she was looking for a home for an aged relative and had reviewed institutions in many places before saying that Beach Grove was one of the finest homes she visited and a credit to Prince Edward Island. The cost per pa- tient per day last year was about 81.80. When you compare this with other institutions catering to the sick you will see that the Old Persons' Home is efficiently an! capably managed. "In our Welfare Branch we also contribute assistance to those who are recovering from tuberculosis. The grant is kriownaa extra-mural assistance and is paid to TB. pa- tients outside the Sanatorluni. With this help those who are re- covering from T3. can get the necessary rest and may thereby become fully recovered and self- supporting. In February of this year we assisted in opening is Con- valescent Home at Montague. This is a home where Sanatorlum pa- tients who have an active disease and no home of their spend a further period convalesc- ing and thereby make room in the Sanatorium for active cases.

This Laboratory is equipped to provide service for human beings and for animals. The setting up of this Division is another of our Joint Provincial and Federal ex- tension programs. "It is worthy of note that the Laboratory services in our Provin- ces are not duplicated in any other Province of Canada. The ot- tawa officials are watching our program with much interest. It may well be a pilot plant for the rest of Canada. In no other place in this Canada of ours have we in .loint human rind animal pathology laboratory. Milk. butter and water t sting is also carried on in this building. We train our gwri tech- nicians and then when they are available. send them out to our branch laboratories in the general hospitals of the Provinces. "The branch laboratories provide for human needs only, but are so much more convenient and access- ible to our doctors and their pa- tients in Montague, souris and summerslde. There are so many other advantages from this ventrire that I regret that time will permit such brief reference to them. You can rest assured that this is astart and that if the Liberal Govern- ment under Premier Jones is re- turned on April 26. the program will be oontinued and xtended.

This is the Branch where the bulk of the money is spent. when it is said that the Health or welfare Depart- ment is our largest spending De- partment of the Government the reference should be to the Wel- fare Branch. In the criticism of the Department's estimates at the recent session of the Legislature. there was no protest from the op- position on the Welfare nranch u. "I would now point out to vou. the electors of the Province. that our Health estimates amount to about three-quarters of a rriilllon -dollars while the Welfare estim- ates amount to over one and one- half million of dollars. The op- position, if they had any herlous criticism, should have had some- thing to say about Welfare.
