Ball, general con- tractor of Kitchener, Ont., the As- sociation’s incoming president, remarked: “It is not a matter of how much volume, but how much good sense we use." MUST SURVIVE Top construction men agree that a contractor should make a bid as low as his efficiency and enterprise will allow, but it should not be so low as to ex-- clude the legitimate profit needed for survival. , Apparently somebids are too optimistic. The result has been many-failures, and difficulties for those trying to compete with the unrealistic bids. Here are some quotes from re- ports from various sections of the c o u n t r y read during the meeting Moncton :Construction in 1958 should a proach that of 1957, which w a good year, although a little below 1956. Quebec. City: Construction should equal that of 1957-—which was a busy year with the under- taking of many large govern- ment and industrial buildings. Toronto: Since the usual slack period around Christmas and New Year's, it is encouraging to note that 40 new plans and spec- ifications were received in the first three weeks of 1958 for tendering pui'poses._ - ” Cliatham. Ont.: Volume should exceed that of 1957. Special prob- lems centre around housing and necessary services, such as streets, water and sewers. Windsor, Ont.: The year is starting out with an employment deficit of 15,900. However, the situation ' not quite as bad as the figures would indicate. Of the- total unemployed, 3,430 are women, of whom 65 per cent are married. And ever since the post - war expansion there has been a monthly average of ap- plicants for employment esti- mated at 3,500. . Construction Heads Meet Fort William: The construction industry at the Lakehead shows no sign of depression neurosis. The area will not witness a boom year, but there will be steady construction throughout the build- ing season. Winnipeg: This year will be favorably active in Manitoba due to the large carry-over of 1957 construction contract a w a r d s. Volume‘ may show a fall-off from 1957, which increased 16 per cent over 1956. Saskatchewan: Volume should equal that of 1957. Highway con- struction will iriaintain the level of previous years. Calgary: Volume should ex- ceed that of 1957. We anticipate no special or unusual problems. Edmonton: Construction will be somewhat‘ lower in the first six months but on the whole the year may eqaul 1957. Costs are a spe- cial pr~oblem.. Kitimat, B.C.: It is estimated that constructino in Kitimat and Kemano will exceed $13,000,000 in 1958. The major portion of this will be spent in finishing work made necessary by the’postpone- merit of the Aluminium Company of Canada expansion program at Kitimat. The smelter addition will allow a rapid start-up of con- struction when additional smelter facilities are required. Included also in the $13,000,000 figure is an $800,000 office build- ing; land development and muni- cipal-service expenditures; and the start _of a $3,800,000_liospital to be constructed over the next two years. While the predicted construc- tion value is considerably less iilian that of 1' .1, when the post-' ponement of Alcan’s expansion program is taken into account, the situation is normal and healthy. We are confident that Kitimat will continue to grow and become the major centre of British Co- lumbia's north country. The Kitimat report was signed by M. Eayrs, szcretary-treasurer of the Kitimat Building Ex- change. Y’s Men Hear Talk By Airman On Europe Wing Commander. A. B. How- ell. R.C.A.F. Station Summer-. side was guest speaker last evening at the regular weekly meeting of the Summerside Y’s Men’s Club held in the Green Street Y Centre with Don Sears as chairman. Wing Cmdr. Howell gave a most interesting talk on Europe especially of France and Spain, and outlined living conditions in these countries. They have been disrupted by wars, leaving the people with a mbre or less fatalistic outlook on life. Some. he said for example, do not trust banks. He also showed movies taken in Europe showing the French countryside, the Le Mans auto race, Spanish bull- fights etc. The guest speaker was thank- ed on behalf of the members by Ross MacKenzie. Billeting accommodations, it was reported, have been ob- tained in Summerside for 16 to 25 Hi-Y members Who will be attending the Hi-Y conference ‘on April 13th. An executive meet- ing will be held Friday at 1:00 p.m. to arrange program for ladies night and it was also agreed that the Y’s Menettes be given permission to extend the kitchen to facilitate preparing meals. Recommendations from the executive included: (1) that in view of ladies night, and the valentine social being held on Friday, February 14th, that the regular Thursday meeting sched- uled Feb. 13th be cancelled; (2) PERSONALS Mrs. Wyman Cairns is spend- ing a few days in Charlottetown guest of her daughter and son- in-law.

These recom- mendations were approved. A‘ report from the Bishop’s Fund stamp committee was given by Don Baker and follow- ing this it- was suggested by Dick Hinton that the stamp contest at the High School be revived to swell the total num- ber. John Leuty suggested such a drive be held when special stamps are available and he was asked to organize this project. Charles Linklietler reported that the So-Ed Group were off to a very successful start. Two letters of resignation from members were read. Songleader was Carmen Carla and finesmaster for the evening was Frank Cameron. Report Child Is Critically Burned At Home Marilyn Bailey, 4-year-old granddaughter of Mrs. George Manderson and daughter of the former Roma Hamilton, both for- merly of Kensington is in critical condition in St. J oseph’s Hospital, Parry Sound, Ont. After more than seventy-five per cent of her body was burned in a kitchen stove accident‘ at her home at Orville on January 17th. Her mother was making beds upstairs when she heard the child’s frantic screams and rush- ing down she discovered the girl enveloped in widely about the kitchen. Mrs. Bailey beat out the flames, wrap- ped Marilyn in a blanket and had an emergency ambulance rush her the 14 miles to hospital. Mrs. Bailey couldn't say what caused the accident.

Y’s Menettes ‘Will Cater To Fcill Conference The regular meeting of the Summerside Y’s Menettes was held in the Y-Centre Wednesday evening, January 29th. Twenty- six members answered roll call with a household hint. . The members decided to cater to two meals during the Hi-Y conference in April. ~ It was carried by a standin vote that the “Y" kitchen be renovated in the near future. Hope Cameron gave the report from the square dance which was held last Monday night at the “Y” Centre at which Mr. George Fisher from Charotte- town very capably called the dances and kept everyone en- joying themselves immensely. A letter was read regarding the coming Canadian Conference on Education to be held in Ot- tawa on February 17th. to 20th. Further information was given on the conference by Betty Mer- car. The meeting adjourned and coffee and doughnuts were served by the lunch committee. Truckers (Continued from page 11) small tires on these vehicles a greater amount of damage 0011“ be done to’ the highway. then with the larger vehicles, equip- ped with large tires and ‘ten to eighteen wheels. . _ This winter has been especial- ly trying with a few frosty days and a number of very mild days; on the whole, -however, there could not be very great frost pen- etration or heaving, and a great- er part of the time summer driv- lug conditions exist. DEPT. POLICY Your department has adopted A policy that all roads are clos- ed to 6,000 lbs. maximum when it turns mild, to open again auto- matically when the temperature drops to twenty degrees. This is a very unsatisfactory system for_ truckers to plan their work, and comes especially hard on milk and cream haulers, oil and fuel haulers, who have to maintain two different types of vehicles, one for mild weather and one for cold. It is our contention that the Department is taking an un- reasonable stand, and-t t . stead of putting a blanket limit of 6,000 lbs. on all the Highways they should allow the larger trucks to carry a reduced load, say one-third of their summer payload. The Trans Canada High- way especially, built 50 percent by the Government of Canada as an all weather Highway with an axle load of 18,000 lbs. is reduced to 3,000 lbs. axle load, a virtual ban on trucks. We feel that this Higpway is an avenue of Interprovincial trade and should remain open or at the least reduced only in severe thaw- out conditions to one-half pay- load. The economy of the Island as a whole is affected, as well as the truckers; only recently twenty-seven large trucks and trailers were tied up at Borden alone. While furniture trucks and others, loaded or empty, are pro- hibited from operating, only this morning I saw that three High- way Dump Trucks loaded (to Capacity?) were out on the High- way, and on occasion we see snow-plows, graders. heavy ma- chinery trailers and vehicles of every description whose weight is comparable to large trucks and trailers, travelling on the closed Highway. WEEKLY COSTS In our own case (and this ap- plies to others as well), we have a payroll of $1,000.00 per week, license costs $100.00 per week and insurance $150.00, besides over $1,000.00 per month commitments for the payment of equipment and other sundry expenses. It is impossible to remain in bus- mess with the roads opening and closing on a few hours notice. We serve over 600 business firms from one end of the Is- land to the other, besides indiv- idual shippers, and handle over 20,000 individual interprovincial shipments per year. Yesterday we had just arrang- ed to load 20,000 lbs. of lambs and poultry for Montreal when we had word that the Highways were closing at noon; this was afterwards delayed until mid- night. Our Packing House, Creameries and Canneries have daily shipments to Sydney, Hali- fax, New Glasgow, Truco, Mone- ton, St. John and the North Shore of New Brunswick; many ord- ers direct to retail stores in these localities, and with road Friday, Jan. 31, 1958 The Guardian, Page 21 l Death came to one of Alberton’s oldest residents Wednesday even- ing when Mr. Martin Foley pass- ed away at his home there He was born at Central Kildare June 25, 1864, a son of the late Martin and Catherine Caliill Fo- ley. The fir.t part of his life was spent in farming and fishing. Some fifty-four yeaixs ago he came to Alberton. He was agent for Frost and Wood machinery and later he became a merchant. In common with many other busi- ness men of the town he lost his store in the disatrous fire of 1919. Mr. Foley was Mayor of Alber- ton in 1919 and again for three One Of Alberton’s Oldest . , .

Two Plead Gu A young man from Duvar plead- ed guilty to eleven charges of theft or intent when he appeared before Mag. R.S. Hinton, Q.C., in Magistrate's Court Thursday morning and was remanded for sentence until Feburary 6th. He was not represented by counsel. An accomplice from Summer- side pleaded guilty to ei;‘:t char- ges facing him and he was also remanded for sentence till the same date. The Duvar man pleaded guilty es 0. , (1) Theft of a 1955 Pontiac car owned by Claude M a c N e i 1 l, 0’Leary on January 26th. 1(2) Theft of a 1954 Chev sedan delivery truck owned by Sylvester Perry of Duvar. (3) Attempt to steal a 1952 Chev coach owned by Theodore Gallant, Duvar. (4) Break, entry and theft from Vance MacKay's store Bloom- field. (5) Break, entry and theft at Macwilliams and Turner, 0’- ilty To A Total of 19 Charges. (6) Break entry and theft from the O’Leary Clothing and Foot- wear Store.

(9) Break, entry and theft at Riley‘s Grocery Store, O’Leary. (10) Break, entry with intent at the 0’Leary Farmers Co-op Feed Room. (11) Break, entry and theft at Jelly's Dept. Store, O’Leary. Small amounts of change, two or three cartons of cigarettes, some vanilla extract, one pair of gloves, one leather windbreaker and three cigarette lighters were taken in the break. The Summerside man pleaded guilty to seven breaks in the var- ious 0’Leary business houses as well as to the theft of the car own- ed by Claude MacNeill. ' Cnsts. Colvin Bungay and T.J.

I am making available the de- cision of a Court Case involving the Railroads in the North Eas- tern United States (including the C.N.R. and C.P.R.) vs. the Long Distance Truckers represented by The Pennsylvania Truck Owners Association, where the Railway and their Public Relations Ag- ency were convicted of distribu- ting false and damaging maga- zine articles and ;propaganda against long distance truckers, and damage they did '0 the high- ways; this included articles in the Saturday Evening Post, Read- ers Digest, Harpers Magazine, Country Gentleman, etc., as well as damaging information about the Maryland Road Test, releas- 'ed before the authorities had come to an official conclusion. This propaganda has been read here and has its influence on Pub- lic Opinion and possibly in Gov- ernment ‘circles. - MAINLAND REGULATIONS To date Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have not put any. re- strictions on the roads and New Brunswick does not go below 60 percent of registered weight at any time on tractor trailers: We feel that the Government and its employees are conscientious in their duties and their desire to preserve the Highways, as are the majority of the truckers. However, as this situation is creating a serious hardship on the Island, interfering with In- terprovincial trade aind jeopard- izing P.E. Island markets for. fish, potatoes, turnips, poultry, eggs, meat products and canned goods, we feel that the Govern- ment of Prince Edward Island should review this restriction, with a view to establishing a percentage of gross weight dur- ing spring frost conditions on Is- land roads, and the Trans Can- ada Highway to be left open, with the exception of extreme thaw - out conditions where it might be reduced to 75 per cent or 60 percent of registered weight. As President of the Maritime Motor Transport Association, I can speak for the majority of the truckers on Prince Edward Island and have their support on this submission.

The stairway will have direct copnection with the Hospital tun- no. that with the removal of 30 or more male patients to the Hills- boro Hospital an opportunity to carry out repairs in the men’: division will be made available. LOCAL PROBLEM speaking of maintenance at Riverside, Mr. MacKlnnon stated -it was most difficult to maintain an institution of this sort to the same degree as could be expected in other institutions. This is due to the fact that destruction of furnishings and equipment will take place in spite of everything that is done to prevent it. . During the past year the laun- dry at Riverside has been enlarg- ed andlas more equipment be- came available more of the laun- dry from the Infirmary is being taken care of.
