The two-man crew of the lead locomotive escaped uninjured al- though suftering from shock. The cause of the derailment was not definitely known but it was be- lieved the men applied their emer- gency brakea suddenly after going onto the wrong track at a switch- ing point. The train was bound from Brockvllle to Montreal. Cows, calves and pigs were be- ing transported in the cars im- medlately following the locomo- tives. Twelve pigs had to be de- stroyed, while others, freed when a car overturned. acampered into nearby fields. Several case: of beer spilled over the tracks, and 10 new cars being brought to Montreal were badly damaged. ' The wreck blocked the trana-con- tinental line of the railway for about three hours.

Continued from page 1 Local Trade Board re-dedicate ourselves to keep alive the system under which we have our freedom. or lose it." Speaking of the development of government controls he said, "they run 24 businesses and we should continually reinlnd ourselves that the government produces nothing." He pointed out that Canada. had the best banking system in the world. that the social services were good but that team work between business, capital and government was necessary. The government should be supervising rather than operative. 700 Boards of Trade on a local level are endeavouring to deal with, and assist in. solving prob- lems throughout Canada. “What we can produce, use and sell, is an overall problem. Addit- ional population can be readily absorbed, creating new wealth and new markets." and the speaker "would not hesitate to accept a good class of immigrants." He strcued the development of natural resources and the steady value of the Canadian dollar in world markets, attributing this desirable situation to the influx of outside capital in the rapid de- velopment of new openings in the country. The personal savings of the Canadian people were never at a higher peak and the consuming market is strong. "Worthy activities on local and national levels continue, and if sustained, good and better busi- ness in Canada may be looked for." the spenker concluded. Mr. Alban Farmer, National Di- Motor, C.C.C., thanked the speak- ei for his splendid address. EXTEND! WELCOME Mayor J. D. Stewart extended an official welcome to the guest speak- er and his associates touched on the tremendous Job ahead for Charlottetown citizens in a worthy effort to make the centennial year celebration a success.

PRESIDENT'S REPORT Need for more adequate ferry nccomiinodation at Wood Islands was strongly emphasized in the report President Ernest D. Reid at last night’: meeting. The Board of Trade. he said was greatly con- cerned. over this matter and a special committee had held several meetings with company officials and Government authorities both here and in Ottawa. He stated the Board fully on- dorsed the request of the present operators, Northumberland Ferries Limited. for increased equipment in the form of another boat for this year. But he added it now seems that fscilties will not be than ever as the Tran: Canada Highway neared completion. Another important feature of his report dealt with the Board's ef- forts for extonsiona to the runways of the local airport by the Federal Government. He said they were ad- vised the Droicct was held U9 pending transfer of control by the Federal Department of Transport to this City. With its present heavy financial burdens Charlottetown was not prepared to accept the project which would cost the city approximately $25,000 each year. The President said the Board concurs in the stand taken by the City and will continue to press the Government of Canada for prom- ion of the needed improvements. He spoke of negotiations now under way between the Board. the City and the Provincial Govern- ment for giving consideration to providing better facilities for giv- lng information to tourists. The proposal being worked on concerns the fitting up of a modem tourist information centre in Charlotte- town. Future industrial development was another highly important mat- ter and Mr. Reid mentioned the brief the Board had presented in support of the Regional Economic Development Council. 'I'hi: matter had been discussed and proposed at the Maritime Premiers Confer- ence last September. In this connection he said the P. E. I. Legislature had at its recent semion set up a fund of $000,000 which is to be made avail- able to new industries here. He felt this would serve to increase the opportunities for employment in this Province and he believed that Board members would endorse the action of the Government in this direction. ’ The speaker told of the close co- operation which had obtained be- tween the Board and the Junior Bosrd of Trade. with Mr. B. E. Rogers acting as liaison between the two. He also urged younger men to participate in the work of the Junior Board.
