Both are mix- ed urban and rural ridings, the first a few miles west of Tor- onto and the second south of London. Ont. Monday's voters faced sunny skies and chilly winds as they de- clded an uneventful election cam- paign that revolved mainly around local issues and individual candidates. Election speeches. in which party leaders and cabinet minis- ters participated, also echoed some of the issues of last year'-.i campaign in which Liberals ran on their government record and Conservatives promised tax re- ductions. Rural Vofo Decisive In Elgln. the rural vote carried Mr. McBain. His Liberal oppon- enf. won St. Thomas by a major- ity of 55. With all 141. polls reported. Mr. Mchain had 11,870 votes to 10.628 for Mr. Rodney. His majority of 1,242 was lower than his party's 1.739 majority last August, when the vote was heavier. In Gatineau. when vote-count- ing ended for the night with 101 of 111 polls reported. Mr. 1-educ had 3 4,004 lead over his Pm gresslvo Conservative opponent. Ernest A. St. Jean.

When counting stopped with all but one of the 141 polls report- ing. he had a lead of 4.791 V010! over his Liberal opponent. Mr. 0'Marra.

The man-were quick- ly procured from the ranks of the city's 'l0o idle men. later in the day. Angl.in-Nor- cross, contractors for the T. Eaton building, asked for half a dozen laborers, who will commence work on the buildings foundation now that the excavation is practically completed. Before many days the working force at the Eaton job will be still further increased. when the call for carpenters goes forth. There are a. large number of carpenters resident in Charlottetown waiting eagerly to return to work. and these will be quickly supplied when needed. , Early in April. probably before the tenth of the month the City of Charlottetown will re-engage a dozen or more men, according to Mr. James Fullerton, City Clerk. and many more will be taken on later for summer work. The new building at the Char- lottetown Driving Park, siafsd to get under way this week will em- ploy only a small number in the early stages, but a fair sized crew as soon as the foundation work is completed. With the jobs already started, and the reopening of other spring activities. the employment picture is due to brighten conside ably in the next few weeks in the opinion of local Employment Office peo- ple. Garages and service stations will soon be calling for men, and several electrical contractors will be enlarging their working crews in April.

S. secretary of commerce. said today the lifnitcd states economy is "in excellent shape". But if conditions should require. he said. "we shall not hesitate to use new monetary policy, new tax revisions, new incentives to busi- ness expansion and employment, large scale public works and what- ever further public spending and legislation are needed to cope with an emergency.” Weeks did not specify what tax revisions are contemplated if' any economic emergency should arise. U. 8. treasury officials also have avoided saying what tax cuts they would recommend to stimulate bus- iness if it should decline to the point where they think such ac- tion ls needed. Cllos Plus Factor However, in an adddess prepared for delivery before the Canadian Club here. Weeks indicated he is optimistic. He recited the follow- ing "plus factors” in the Ameri- can economic outlook: "The annual rate of nationial out- put has gone down. but the de- cline so far has been moderate. Even so, we are operating at a current rate a bit below 3360.000.- ooo,ooo. The total for the year 1952 was s348.000,000,000. so we are much better off than two short years ago. United States total production in 1943 was recorded by the commerce department at s3o7,z5o.ooo.oo0, the highest ever. "Business plans capital expendi- tures almost as high as in peak 1953 -the sum of 527.250.000.000. only four per cent less than last year. "Construction activity in Feb- ruary on a seasonally adjusted basis was up both from January. and from February, 1953. Sales Expectations "Business sales expectations in general should approximate those of 1953. Durable goods producers expect an 8 per,cent dip: utilities expect a 10 per cent dip. "Total onsumer spending thus far in the first quarter of 1954 has kept pace with the fourth quarter of 1953 rate. The de- cline in durable goods purchases has been offset by a rise in spending for services. "Personal income in January was at the annual rate of S2B2.500,000.- 000-less than two per cent be- low peak July. and 32.000.000.- 000 annual rats above January. 19533 Ground Observer Corps conference HALIFAX, (CP)-The first con- ference of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island supervisors in the Rc.AF's ground observer corps will be held this week-end at the air force's filter centre in Truro.

Drltaln Elves Continued from DIES 1 base in good order. Last week Egypt put out cl feeler through Jefferson Caffery. the U. S. ambassador in Cairo. on prospects of resuming talks about the canal. On Eden's instructions. Am- bassador Sir Ralph Stevenson handed Britain's representations to President Mohamed Nazulb last Friday. . Egypt's prompt rejection, the Calro official said. referred to "organized aggression of British forces against Egyptian civilians in the canal area." Egypt also contended that the current dis- orders followed the shooting of an Egyptian police officer by British soldiers March it. Egyp- tian civilians in the Suez arca have acted "in several instances in self defence." the Egyptians said. Eden told the Commons that Britain repudiated the suggestion that the shooting of the police officer justified in any way the attack on British troops. He add- od: "Two British service men have been placed under arrest by our military'authorit.'zes and in- vestigations are proceeding." pointed out that Mr. Brawders was forced to retire on account of ill health and that he was not eligi- bio for a pension under the Pub- lic Servants Superannuation Act. Both the Premier and Dr. W. J. P. MacMillan comm d r Mr. Brawders for his work with de- pendent and delinquent children.

Deaths from highway accidents last year dropped from 3 in 1052 to 13 last year. The Royal Cana- dian Mounted Police neport as tabled in the Legislature by the Attorney General. I-Ion. Walter E. Darby, also noted that the num- ber of investigations into such ac- cidents had dropped from 22 to only 9, The full report of all R. C M. P. activities was given to the Attomey General by R.C.M.P. Iri- spector W. H. Nevin. The report stated that enforce- ment of the Highway Traffic Act is recognized as one of the major responslbilitiu of the Force, and as such receives almost unremit- ting attention. The reports also added that follcwing an increase of three men on the staff last year a special highway traffic squad was organized and commenc- ed full time operations in the spring of last year. The cars in use are colored black and white and are equipped with two - way radios. The report stated that there had been no change in the number of establishments in the Province as they remain in Charlottetown. Al- berton. Borden, Montague. Souris and Summerside. A temporary de- tachment is maintained in North Rustico during the summer months Special Highway Training The report added that seven members of the Force, all of whom had received special training on highway patrol duty, had been as- signed last year and operated un- der the direction of a senior mem- ber who had taken an advanced course in highway patrol. In their operations of the Act the patrol showed 632 investiga- tions last year, an increase of 124 over the previous year. As a result. of these investigations there were 613 prosecutions entered, an in- crease of 120 over 1952: and 604 convictions were obtained, None of the nine fatal accidents occurlng on the roads last year were in the confines of either Charlottetown or Summerside. In all therelwere 468 motor vehicle accidents reported during the year, a decrease of 54 from the previous year. The R.C.M.P. report also called attention to the 29 cases of hit and run accidents. but added that of these there were investiga- tions successful in identifying M drivers. The Police feel that the driving habits of the public here are far from satisfactory and though there is a decrease in the number of fatalities there is an increase in the number of people injured serious Offences The report also called attention to a. proportionate increase in the more serious offences of failing to stop at the suns of an accident, drunken driving. driving while ability is impaired and reckless driving. However. too. the report said that the Provincial Secretary had cancelled for more operators licenses for these causes than in the year before. A statement of the report may be worth observing when it says "It would appear obvious that while a large section of the public continues to show indifference and apathy to their responsibilities as operators of motor vehicles. the accident total will not show any marked improvement." The report also said that the problem cannot be wholly remedied merely by enforcement. irrespective of the number of men engaged in it. some hope is seen in the report in the recently introduced prac- tical driving tests and written ex- aminations which it is felt in tim- will show a beneficial result. Bu the report states that "one is forccd to the conclusion that a great many accidents are caused by lack of driving knowledge and skill, and ignorance of elementary rules of the road. particularly visual signals and the significance of mod signs." The Police report stated that it was clear that education of the public is of equal importance to enforcement. It also stated that in the past six months no com- plaints aiieging discourtesy by the Pcrce had been received in con- nectinn with their enforcement activities. Temperance Act Regarding the Temperance Act the report states that investiga- gions, including non-resultant. searches. totalled 1.674 last year” just 65 more than the previous. year and 344 over 1951. At the some time there were 757 prosecu- tions and 708 convictions. Under the provisions of the Criminal Code of Canada there were 624 lnvetigations last year. almost exactly the same as in 1952 when there were 625. How- ever, there were far more prosecu- tions and convictions with the totals being 405 and 394 respect- ively. compared to 346 and 295. There was nne murder charge in- vcstigated. Later it was reduced to manslaughter and s. 12 year sentence imposed. The Excise Act saw 506 investi- gations. 23 seizures. 16 complete and partial stills seized. 22 prose- cutions and 20 convictions. It was also noted that last year the seiz- ures included one automobile and one horse and wagon. The report. has a humorous twist when it. recalls that. a man known for his propensity for intoxication telephoned and asked for an im- mediate patrol at his home. The Mounties obliged and he suggested that if he hit. one of them he might be able to get 60 days in jail The Mounties did not co- 0DFl'n9P to that extent. but they saw thsl. he appeard in court. was fined 920.00 or could have 16 days Accidental Deaths There were 39 accidental and sudden deaths under investigation in 1953 with is attributable to hishvrar accidents. Drownings caused nine and another seven were from natural causes. Various other seIJ0lll advanced for the deaths included tires. asphyxiation (carbon monoxide), suicides. of which there were two listed; air- crsft crashes and lumbering and sawmill accidents. The Forces also took an active Part in aelline swing and hunt. ing licenses. They handled 1.091 resident hunting and angling lic- enses; 39l non-resident angling; three non-resident hunting (Marl- timmi; and 33 other non-resident hunting licenses. Regarding accommodations for the Force on the Island it is stat- ed in the report that construc- tion of new quarters for the Al- berton detachment has been com- menced and this year the Mont- aguc detachment will move into new and adequate quarters in the new Federal Building now under construction. However. it is sug. gested that quarters at Souris are Inadequate. Other accommodations are available, though not entirely satisfactory, at Summerslde.
