I. The dock proposed was to provide accommodation suffi- cient to overhaul ihe car ferry Prince Edward Island and was desigiifid b)’ Jflmes L- Crlmdani of the Crandnll Drvdock Ensineers. Cam- bridge, Mass. "And ivhereas the needs for dry dock facil- ities in Prince Edward Island are much BREW? now than they were in I915, because of the grave danger of losing ships by enemy action in the waters which ships of the larger size must at present cross to roach dry clock facilities. “And whereas the loss of the S. S. Char- lottetown is a serious blow to the transporta- tion facilities to and from this Province. “And whereas it is necessary each year to send our car ferry steamers and provincial boats to docks in other provinces, and it was report- ed in 1942 that the S. S. Prince Edward Island narrowly escaped sinking on the return trip from the dry dock, "And whereas Mr. James L. Crandall has recently inspected the Charlottetown harbour and has pronounced the site adjacent to the plant of Bruce Stewart and Company, Ltd., the most suitable on which to construct c. slip capable oi’ handling ships of at least the size of the car ferries to service this Province. (A copy of which letter is attached hereto.) "And whereas this Province has adequate facilities for repairing and reconditioning ships of this size, which facilities will, when the dry dock is constructed, be available to the Gov- ernment, but which are not. now being used because of the need of carrying on under and above water repairs simultaneously. "And whereas the hydrographlc survey of the Charlottetown harbour “was completed in 1937 and it was found that there was not less than 3B feet of water at the lowest water of ordinary spring tide, both inside and outside the har- bour, making the port available to the larger class of ships. “Be it therefore resolved that we, the-under- signed, petition the Government of Canada to make IMMEDIATE provision for the erection of a Marine Railway dry dock at Charlottetown, ls large u the site selected by Mr. Onndnll will permit, so that facilities may be provided for ducking our car ferry and ships of larger size needing repairs, and thus enable Prince Edward Island to contribute lo the war effort by keeping lhlpl m for service." The above resolution was passed unani- mously by a standing vote. Speakers at the meeting included hlessrs. S. A. MacLeod, T. \\'. L. Prowse, O. Hyndman, P. Crockett, R. K.

The object in vicw is a spiritual mobilization of the ‘youth of the Em- pire and of the world.

IIIII Tlhc Inputs: wtr is already in such a state that we can afford to be optimistic. With but a small portion of t-he total forces available on our side deployed, Japan is already definitely on the retreat. The difficulties of deploying great forces-except as far as Russia is con- oemed in Manchuria and Northern China-are obvious but, on the other hand, our organiza- tion for making War is now infinitely superior to what it was when the tide turned against Germany. - Canadian participation plans have been spoeded up, as M-r. King begins to real- ize that a great body of opinion in Canada- probably a great majority of opiuion—is defin- itely in favour of this country showing willing- ness io continue to fight as effectively as pos- sible. What Canada does will scarcely define the outcome of the War, bu: it may readily have a lasting effect on the reputation of this nation in the world. a a c Though Britain is a land of tradition, few towns in England can boast of such long un- broken celcbration of an old ritual as can Hung- erford. Hocktide, instituted about I340 by the. great patron of Hungerford, John of Gaunt, fourth son of Edward III, is still kept up. john of Gaunt granted the people of the town the rights of free htmting, shooting and fish- ing, as well as the use of some public land as a common. He is also credited with giving them an old horn. So it comes about that every year, the Town Crier with the horn, ushers in the Hocktide festival. At intervals. either from the balcony or from the steps 0f'1he Town Hall, he summons the jury to attend the Court House to protect those rights. antl calls the commoners to attend to answer their names. As these are read he bangs down a penny on the table for each atbsmitee, to guarantee non- forfeituree of his or her common rights. The born he uses is not the original one, but one which replaced it in 1634, On ‘Hocktide he wears his best uniform, a smart grey suit with scarlet facings and bmss buttons. with shining gold-braided hat. All the townsfolk share with the jury in the excitement of Hocktide. Tyth- ing men, or “Tutti men", set out to collect the toll of a penny per head from everyone in the town. Each carries a stave ‘of office decorated with bunches of flowers and (in prc-war days) an orange. The tutti men's duties include 1111c kissing of all the wrmicn of the household who refuse payment, and in return to give them an oratige. They meet with a mixed reception: some of the women prefer to pay, some to pay the forfeit, some do both; others prefer to give them a run for their reward. a hobby horse ready to mount. and to ride with the enthusiasn of s. profession l.
