Iiedequo and -‘MEETING BF mwN__c_ouNcIi A“.|d.i0urned meeting of the Summer-side Town Council was held last evening with His Wor. ship Mayor Robinson in the chair and all Oounclllors pruent. A motion moved by Coun. Grady and seconded by coun. Macxay that the tender sent in by Mr. Fred MacI..eod for the painting of the recently repaired basement of the Town Hall be accepted. Coun. MacKay stated that he had begun the work of putting the park and bandstand in repair in preparation for the new Summerside band who will make their initial public appearance on June 7th. The Council ratified this move and gave Conn. MacKay authority to see that the work be completed after hearing the estimates of the total expenditure necessary. Coun. Macxay congratulated the Street Commi toe on their fine work in connection with the arrangement of the High School grounds. He then made a motion that the deeds for the entire property be secured which was seconded by Coun. Nicholson and carried. Conn. Carruthers gave notice of a bye law to regulate street iirafflc throughout the town. A motion to this effect will be put at the next meeting. Coun. Mb- Neill made a. motion that the slip owned by Emmanuel Gallant at Mitchell's Creek be purchased for $25. and put in repair. He pointed out that this would eliminate the rriglnal long haul in securing sand by way of the seaweed road. The motion was seconded by Coun. l‘.!a<‘Kny and carried. A brief review of the work done at the electric light and power plant and at the pumping station of putting the grounds of each in better condition was taken. This work has been under the suprvl.s- ion of Mr. Smith, a. landscape art- ist who just recently came out from England. It was generally agreed that the work had been very satisfactorily and compet- ently performed. Considerable d‘ uaslon then took place conceming the wages which had been paid truckmen on this Job. coun. Grady pointed out that a standard wage is set for truckmen and that this had been violated. His Worship and several other Councillors pointed out the benefits to the laborers of this work at a time when work is not plentiful, how it had been evenly distributed and how the limited sum of money available for work had been so well divided. Coun. McNeil stated that he had sur- veyed the situation personally and had spoken to the men on the job who seemed well satisfied. Coun. Carruthers stated he had receiv- ed e. request that the assessment be reviewed and raised if necessary. The request met with disapproval. It was moved by Coun. Schur- man and seconded by Coun.

May 25- A forest fire which officials called one of the worst in New Jersey history smauldered in the southern port of Ocean County tonight, burning itself out after taking five lives and mvaging 15.000 ncrfs of pine woodland. The disastrous names were brought under control shortly af- ter noon but more than 750 fire fighters, wearying from as hours of fierce battle, continued to patrol the area to prevent a‘ new out- break. No estimate of the property dun- sge was available but besides the woodland I for unoccupied houses and scores of hunting shacks and outbuildings were destroyed. A doz- en settlements and munlclp_a.lities. threatened with destruction last night and again today, were saved. lire Victims Three of the five dead were Ol- vilian conservation Corps workers attached to the Bass River camp. They were identified as John- T. nulls, no, and Edward Ii‘. Sullivan, 20. both of New Brunswfck, N. J.. and Stanley Carr. 22. of Wlfewwnv N. J. Ryan's llownfall May Have Effect 0nParoIeSystem OTTAWA, May 20.—The story of Norman "Red" Ryan's fatal relapse into crime and gun violence has struck Parliament Hill like a. thun- der bolt and shook the entire sys- tem of penitentiary parole, built up ova‘ many years to its very founda- on. “l?.ed" Ryan was regarded by that system as its prize exhibit. A model prisoner for years in Kingston, evi- dencing all the appearances of real religious conversion, he became an individual upon whom parole of- ficialdom staked its very Judgment, declaring that he could be released with safety to law-abiding citizens ——and fighting the Government un- til his release was finally obtained. Lleut.—Coi. W. B‘. Megloughlin, who was warden of the penitentiary while Ryan was serving his time, summed up the situation briefly to- night when he commented in dis- cussing the case with the writer: “I don't lcnow any convict who ever left Kingston with better back- ing. He had any number of in- fluential friends prepared to take an interwt in him. He has certain- ly let everybody down with a thump." As a result of his failure, it is certain that there will be a broad parliamentary discussion during the present session with a view to ap- praising. over-haulins. Perhaps even scrapping in its present form, the existing system under which peni- tentiary prisoners are paroled. It will be held probably in connection with the voting of the penitentiary estimates and will be wholly non- partisan. Released Last July Ryan was released from the King- ston Penitentiary last July. De- partment of Justice officials stated today that his parole originated in routine manner. The prisoner's good conduct gained the notice of the parole board: the penitentiary offi- cials gave him an excellent record; his father confessor was even pre- pared to assume responsi- bility for him. Thus started the campaign to re- store liberty to the young lifer whose crimes were believed to have belonged definitely to the period of his youth, and for the repetition of which no fear whatever need be en- teretalned. An obstacle Iwas en- countered, however. in the attitude of the Government. Hon. Hugh Guthrie, hen minister of justice. was not disposed to be inconsiderate towards Ryan, but he was, above all, sensible of his responsibility to law- abiding citizens in the matter of re- leasing among them a man of the prisoner's dangerous type. Mr. Ben- nett was similarly minded. The pressure for the parole, how- ever. would not abate, but continued to roll up in the form of a monster tide of humanitarian sentiment. By this time the young lifer had at- tracted the active interest of Miss Agnes Macphall, M.P., who raised his case on the floor of Parliament. Col. Harry Mullins, now Senator and then M.P. for Marquette, also began to be sympaihctlc. Visit to Penltenetisry Finally the representations be- came so overwhelming and public sympathies so aroused, that one day in the Autumn of 1934 Mr. Bennett and Mr. Guthrie motored down the penitentiary unannounced. Thc; saw Ryan at work in the hospit ward, where he served as an order- ly. They visited his cell and saw the evidences of his conversion in the devotional books that he had there. Following the visit of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Justice it was expected that the usual Christmas list of commutation of sentences would include a parole for Ryan. The anticipation, however, was not fulfilled. Mr. Bennett and Mr. Guthrie were still reluctant to take the responsibility of placing him at large once more amongst the general community. Human- itarian pressure, however, finally won the day. Speaking of "Red" Ryan as he had known him as a prisoner, Lieut. Col. Megloughlin said to-night that Mr. Bennett and Mr. Guthrie were bound to have been impressed by their visit to Ryan. "They could not have helped but be impressed," Ool. Megloughlin declared, "for Ryan was doing a real job." The feature of the case which ap- pealed to the former warden most was the manner in which Ryan, by his retlu-n to crime and violence, had "let down" all those who had taken an interest in him and fought for his release. No prisoner, he was certain, had ever left the penitenti- ary walls under better auspices or COMMISSION WASBREATEIJ I N I 9 3 2 Had Wide Powers To Carry Out Gradual Nationalization Of Radio Facilities. (0. P. By Guardian’: Special Wire) UITAWA. MB)’ 2B—'I‘he Canad- ian Radlo commission, slated to disappear if the recommendations of the Commons committee on broadcasting are adopted was cre- ated in 1932, following the report of a parliamentary committee of that year. It was appointed to carry out a Zredual nationalization of radio facilities and was clothed with wide powers at once to acquire and con- trol certain existing faculties and generally regulate all broadcasting. Hector Charlesworth, then editor of Toronto "Saturday Night," was chosen as chairman, Thomas Maher. Quebec forestry engineer and business promoter as vice- chairman. and Col. W. Arthur Steel, 9. technical officer of the Depart- ment of National Defence, as third member of the commission. Mr. Charlesworth and Col Steel have been with the commission since its inception but the vice- chalrmanship has changed hands three times. Mr. Maher resigned in 1934 and his place was taken by Jacques Cartier of Montreal who resigned Just before the general election campaign last fall. The vacancy was filled by the appoint- ment of Col. Charles A. Chauveau, member of a Quebec city law firm. Mr. Charlesworth and 001. Steel were witnesses before the commit- tee on several occasions but Col. Chauveau was not called. Tile commission acquired owner- ship or established six key stations in Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, Tor- onto. Windsor and Vancouver, and through co-operation with private- ly owned stations conducted daily coast-to-coast network programs. Its staff grew to nearly 140 persons scattered throughout Canada with headquarters in Ottawa. Program Details OTTAWA, May 26——No recom- mendations with respect to pro- gram details, networks or time on the air. were made by the Com- mons committee on radio whose report was tabled today. It was not desired, Chairman Arthur Beaubien said, to encumber the proposed Radio Corporation with instructions on matters which would ultimately be for the govemlng body to de- cide. During the committee hearings there were numerous submissions that the coast-to-coast network of the commission be extended to as much as 16 hours a. day instead of the approximately six hour evening hook-up as at present. There were also submissions re- commending that the commission or whatever body replaced it, con- centrate dn high quality national programs with full coverage to all parts of Canada, and leave the field of commercial broadcasting entirely to private stations. Pending the enactment of mem- sary legislation to effect whatever changes Parliament may decide upon as a result of today's report. Radio Commission programs will go on without interruption. It is assumed that the physical and personnel set-up of the existing administration will be absorbed by the new organization when it comes into being. Ermreues Satisfaction UITAWA. May 26—Alan B. Plaunt, honorary secretary and spokesman for the Canadian Radio League, tonight expressed satisfac- tion in the report of the special committee on broadcasting which was tabled in the House of Com- mons today. Some of the principal changm proposed were suggested in a brief presented by Mr. Plaunt on behalf of the league, and that organiz- ation's recommendations figured largely in the 1932 investigation by parliamentary committee. with better prospects» Persons of highest standing, financially and otherwise. had been prepared to in- te t themselves in his re-estab- ent. His was a lapse which Col. Megloughlin could not under- stand. BRINGING UP FATHER Tormentine News Notes Mrs’. Donald 8. Robinson spent a couple of days of last week in Mioncton. Mrs. Dexter W.

By Guardian‘: Special Wire) OTTAWA, May 26—'I‘hc chair- man and trustees of the Canadian National Railways will be given an opportunity next Tuesday to ex- plain their handling of the govern- ment-owned system since taking of- ficc. After a stormy meeting of the House of Commons committee on railways and shipping todiay it was decided to hear statements by C. P. Fullertorl, chairman of the board, F. K. Morrow and J. Ed- ouard Labelle, trustees. _ They will give separate statements which will first go to railways min- lster C. D. Howe and sir Eugene Fiset, chairman of the committee. The minister and chairman will thus be seized of their contents and the former will be in a position to reply to them before the -committee, if he desires to do so. at the same meeting they are presented. Practically the entire sitting of the committee today was occupied in dealing with the question of whether Mr Fullerton should be heard. Chairman Fiset; ruled a discussion precipitated by Hon. H. A. Stewart (Cons.. Leeds) was out of order because it hinged upon re- marks made in the House by Mr. Howe in moving second reading of the Canadian National-Canadian Pacific bill. In his speech Mr. Howe stated: “It is command knowledge that the three directors to whom the direc- tion of the railways was entrusted as a result of the 1933 act have made no real progress toward im- provement of our railway situa- tion." They had failed, he said, “to achieve any substantial co—op- erative economies to secure which was the principal object of their appointment." As the legislation on which Mr. Howe was speaking when he made these statements was not before the committee, Chairman Flset took the position they should not be dis- cussed nor should the railway chair- man be questioned thereon. His views met with support from some members and opposition from others. Chairman Fullerton assured the committee his statement would not refer to the minister of railways at GestI|.ion&Whel'_orVix8nl Puppy Starter at your nearest dealer. ::=:::===:::::::==============S ter," he said. ‘That would not be good for the railway.
