Laid- law secretary of the Co-op Un- ion of Canada had some point- ed remarks to make about mental attitudes and the econ- ‘omy of the Maritime provinces. More specifically we quote few paragraphs from his marks. While we do not necess- arily endorse them we believe em to be worthy of study and some thought. “This region of Canada has a deep and ingrained opposition to desirable and advantageous forms of socialization; the peo- e provinces do not take sufficient advantage of use- ful and indeed obvious forms of onganization; there is an unconscious but strong tendency to old-fashioned individualism which is not good for this re- " 'l'ib E’- ‘8. on. “I firmly believe that much of the retarded economic develop- ‘ and organize themselves to good. very satisfactory. well arrang-l | 16313316» to andepartntetsu prove yon—i a. mum' andIamgoingtoiryto do so—‘of Mr. McKinney it was the besti that it is much easier for some-" Match ever and that knowledge one from outside the Atlantic should be some satisfaction to provinces to come here and or- all who had ‘ny Part in making ganize us to his,own advantageithe arrangements and to Kings and purpose. than for Atlantic' County Wilel'e it Withheld. region people to get together.

I haven't permission to give you the name of my inform- ant who is an unusually modest gentleman, but I can as- sure you of his complete reliability. And he tells me the old story is no, names us ' y names well known in that area. Joe Campbell and Felix MacPhee grew up together its the area of Campbell‘s Ccve; indeed they were school chums. I am told. When Joe developed into young manhood he travelled to Gloucester. Massaoliussetts. and signed aboard a fisher- mAwéAull‘aa going to the ‘Grand Banks. off Newfoundland. same route. The boat on which Felix had shipped encountered I bad storm off the Banks one night and the captain drop anchor to ride out the blow. Felix was in his bunk below. when he saw a figure come down the companiorway clad in oil- skinis. Getting up and approaching the nightly visitor. Mac- P‘hee recognized his old boyhood pal from the Island. “Good lordait’s Joe". he exclaimed in amazement, and the figure re .f'that's who it is". When Fe! attired "How are you. and how in the world did you ere anyway?" Jne replied “i have a serious problem and I wantgour promise you will help me set it right". "My Body is At Bottom Of The Sea” THEN JOE explained “My ship is at the bottom of the sea. directly below where yours is anchored. It was sunk a year ago in a storm similar to this one_ My body is down there. and my soul cannot go to heaven unless you can do some- thing for me. Assured once again that Felix would do anything possible for his old friend. Joe continued? “I bought several bags of potatoes from Philip Rose, Elmira. before I left the Island. and I never paid him for them. If you can pay him what is owing him. I can be relieved of this an which is hanging over me." Felix told his captain about the incident early next morn- ing. After he had assured the captain that he didn't just have a bad dream, the captain told him, “I'll sail for Gloucester just as soon as this storm abates. and I will give you the money to go back to your Island and pay the l." The rest of the story indicates that the captain did that. end the Elmira man was paid the bill that Joe Campbell came back from the dead to talk about. I told this story at the official opening of the Dundee Plowing match when my old friend. Leslie Hunter. called on me to speak I stepped down from the platform. I met a man who had told me about a year ago of an experience he had had when he saw the forerunner of his grandfather's death almost 40 years ago. . . “I believe the story you just told". he said to me. “Its different when you have had a somewhat similar experience yourself", be explained. Islander Qualified For Olympics I TALKED here recently with a long-time friend. George Walker. is former athlete here in Charlottetown who retired it fewyears ago from his YMCA secretary's work in St. Thomas. ntario. It was back in the early 1920‘s that George distinguished himself as the best long. distance bicycle rider in the Maint- tiime Provinces. He won the 45-m e Windsor to Halifax race three years in a row and broke the record every time. George also broke down his bikes With monotonous reg- ularity—there were no paved roads in those days— but that didn't stop him smashing the records at the same time The best gtlifting bike, then broke his spare. and rode the miles on a boy's bike he bin-row from a youngster, and when that one broke down. he ranMl tine last 100 yards carry- ins. or pm the bike along wi im. . a Bestotallhesetarecordonhout-s, lirmnutosfortiho stance. so 11' was natural that George should be sent to Minn- lc loagdistnnce trials In the manner of 1924.
