I find myself today com- pletely and most happily at home." Sends Sympathy A last - n1.in.ute addition to the speech was msde to enable the Queen to express her sympathy with relatives of victims of New Zes.land's Christmas Eve train wreck in which an estimated 166 persons were killed.

Island Odds And Ends since the tkaggers started fish- inr out of Souris, the fish pack- ing plants have been hard press- ed on occasion to gather up enough hands to fillet or other- wise make ready for market all the fish being landed. Now that a second large new plant is to start operations there, employment op- portunities will be widened still further and the whole of Eastern Kings County should benefit. Even with Bouris' present faculties for handling fish. it has been necessary at times to transport many men and women daily from as for distant as Morell to keep the plants going. 0 O I More than two hundred years ago the French pioneers had the idea of making this Island the centre of a great fishing indus- try. It is strange that until re- cent years Islanders have been unable to realize on the possibili- ties the original settlers saw two centuries back. x some fishermen bewailed the coming of the iraggers. but far from injuring the industry the sturdy craft have expanded and encouraged it. The development which has taken place at Bouris has proven the value of the drag- gera. Where a few thousand pounds of fish were being landed weekly many times that amount are be- ing caught daily. and are being processed by modern methods. Where a small number of people were employed ashore, for short and uncertain periods, large crews are now assured of work three or four extra months. It seems that Islanders are no longer going to stand by and watch American, Spanish and other European drag- gers. not to speak of those from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick North Shore, gather the wealth that lies off their own shares. C O O The Brighton residential section of Charlottetown is glittering with Christmas lights and decorations. The rest of the City has the Christmas look too, but surburban Brighton on the outskirts of town where the houses are not so crowd- ed lends itself better to display. Many people drive through the area just to admire the colored illumination. 0 I I Our hockey team is making a valiant effort to survive its fin- ancial difficulties, and the out- look for the Islanders is not ro- seate. It would be a blow to Is- land prestige if the club was forc- ed out of the league. aside from the loss of high class winter en- tertainment, enjoyed by many folks in town and country. It is not to be overlooked also that the Province gets valuable publicity from the appearances of the team in other Maritime cities. Possibly there is some way by which more Islanders could be in- duced to contribute in a small way to the team's support. Thus far only the faithful few have dipped down to help out. If a community effort. caught on the problem would be solved. There are more native eons with the team now than at any time since the club's organ- ization. -186 Jglotl - Continued from page I lowed: how, amid the screams of women and children and the roar of the swirling waters, passengers trapped in the wrecked coaches franticalw tried to claw their way through the shattered windows. D. C. McLean, who with his wife managed to save their two young children, said: "I was dozing, when without warning then was a crash and a terrific sort of plunge. "There was a-sensation of going downhill at a terrific speed. There was s. jolt and water started pour- ing into the carriage, which had listed on to its side. I noticed I window behind me had been broken and I struggled out through it. I grabbed my son's hair and hauled him out. Then I heard my wife calling and reached in to pull her and our daughter onto the carriage roof, where we were helped by pasenge . who had ulready crawled out." Scene of Devastation The first light of an overcast dawn revealed a scene of devasta- tion. It was low tide and the le- ceding waters had left a grey path in which the engine and coaches were a tangled mass of,steel and wood. A few toys were seen drifting among the mud and silt. No casualty list as has yet been released. as few of the victims have been identified. Former Mayor Of Chicago Dies CHICAGO. (AP! -- Carter H. Harrison. five times mayor of Chicago. died Friday.

Town"-Planner Prepares Program For Edmonton EDlll0N'r0N, (CPI - A town planning program inr Edmonton. C.'lll.4l(l:l'5 fastest - growing major city. mil be ready in a year for study by city council. Nocl Dani. a former architect with experience in many parts of the tvorid. has taken over as town planner for the city of 350.000. Righ now the city proper has a populntion of approximately 180,- 000. d-mlbie uhnt it was 10 years ago, and creator Edmonton includ- ing stiburiznn area: has a popula- tion nf npproxiinatrly 225.000. When the general development plan is approved, Mr. Dant said. a new zoning by-law will be drawn up in keeping with requirements of the general plan. Some of the problems fnrctl in Edmonton's lzrmvih are lllRllWa)S. dmvntown congestion. lack of park- ing. how to grow and housing. Has Wide Experience Mr De.n'.L"nd0l1. Eng, who were set up for a city of 90,000. "We know now that our city has already doubled this original pop- ulation and. in all likelihood will more than triple this original fig- ure. within the next 10 years..." Mr. Dani. said Edmonton's road system is outdated and what is needed is a decentralized system of super highways. This means at least four more four-lane bridges and many miles of new four-lane arteries. He predicted that if nothing is done about downtown congutlon a situation would exist in 10 years in the central area which ”could only be described as stifling, im- penetrn-ble. devoid of convenience or function - in short an almost physical paralysis of movement." Wants Parking Garage Central parking garages could help to relieve the parking situa- tion more than any one nicnsurc. Mr. Dani. said a city housing authority is needed. He also urged better legislation rcga"ding hous- inz finance at both "federal and. p:u'i.icuiariv provincial levels.” There is Filll tired of provision in: the lowest niromr bracket, he said. One of the difficulties is that all land in Edmonton was origin- niiv subdivided along dimensions suitable only for purely residcntinl use and srnnetimes not even that.
