Premier noted he had been a member of the House and a Min- ister of the Crown and later be- came a member of the House of Commons. Mr. Matheson said Mr. Myers was an outstanding speaker who was able to express liirnself well and was the fear of many a political opponent. He was pleased Enps ssions of sympathy to the resolutions Speaking of Mr. Myers. the Recall The Death Of Former Members OI The Legislature Mr. Morley Bell. M.L.A. also added words of regret at Mr. My- ers" passing. MR. MACKENZIE Speaking of Mr. MacKenzie's death Premier Matheson noted that in addition to several unsuc- cessful elections. Mr. Maclfcnzie had sat in the House for two terms, 1931-1935 and 19434047. "He was a worthy opponent and a fluent speaker who was not afraid to express his opinion on matters of the day. It is regrettable that he was taken with so many useful years ahead of him." the Premier. Mr. Bell said "Death is always sad but in the case of Mr. Mac- to see that his large family was carrying on in the traditions of an illustrious father. Mr. Bell said he was honoured to second the motion of sympathy to the family of Mr. Myers. He term- ed the late Mr. Myers a familiar figure not only in the life of the Province but outside its bound- aries. "He was one of the ablest debaters that the Province has produced and I am glad to see that he instilled in his family the idea that Prince Edward island is a good place to live in and to re- main." the number of convictions increas- ed from 23 to 40. Thirty cases of offences com- mitted by juveniles were investi- gated as compared with twenty in 1955. in all forty-one juveniles were iupiicated in the 1956 offen- ces as compared with twenty-nine in 1955. Although this represents an overall increase both in often- ces and in the number of juveniles implicated. the situation is not conside ed alarming. since for the most part the offences were of a minor nature. MAJOR OFFENCES Kenzie we have a man cut down in the prime of life. It is particul- arly sad in view of the fact that he had been recently married and had established a home in Char- lottetown."

Drunken and impaired driving of- fences showed a minor increase over 1955. The volume and patern of crimes against property varied little from the previous year, and it was note- worthy that for the second con- secutive year the province was free from the major crime of Rob- bery with Violence.

The campaign in Preventive Po- lice work commenced in 1955 was continued in 1956. This work in- volves the distribution of pamph- lets. instruction in safety protec- tion and systematic police patrols of the various districts. Besides the regular work of the R.C.M.P. in Federal and provincial Work. it has also conducted in- vestigations and given administra- tive assistance in other matters in TIVE ASSISTANCE IN OTHER live assistance in other matters in which the Force did not have a basic responsibility. ORGANIZATION The agreement with the province provides for payment of the ser- vices of forty members in the po- lice force. In additllin. the con- tract in effect with the Town of Souris provides for the services of one member. At the end of the year 1956 tbs total uniformed strength in the province numbered forty-eight. seven members in ex- cess of the combined Provincial and Municipal contract strength of forty-one. Following tablished po- llcy and towards the end of main- taining efficiency at the highest possible kvel. various courses of instruction at Ottawa. Regina and other points. were attended by members of the Division. The cur- ricula of these courses is da- viscd to provide progressive train- ing to personnel within the force and also to keep them abreast of recent advances in law enforce- ment techniques and procedures.
