Reid Addresses Trinity Men's Association ..A stirring appeal for more lead- ers and assistance in scouting was made by Brig. W. W. Reid at a largely attended supper meet- ing of ‘Trinity Men's Association in regular meeting last evening in Charlottetown. Brig. Reid traced the recent history of scouting within Trinity church. The main purpose of scouting. continued the speaker, "is to de- velop into better citizens the youths of our city. What our youngsters need most is the moral guidance and help of their parents." The Cubs are fairly well at- tended to in leadership, but not so the Scouts. who are seriously hadicapped in this important phase of their activities. The speaker emphaized the bene- fits acquired from this training through the ten-point development program, a close semblance of the Ten Commandments. Out of 53 scouts developed by Brig. Reid previous to the war, 49 went into the active service of their country. a. very creditable testimony to scout training. Today, boys and girls have great- er and more problems to face than the older folk have ever had. Because of this fact. is there not a great challenge to the laymen of the Association to do what is possible by way of assistance in bringing from off the street the young people in order to provide them with a more wrolesome citizenship. , Brig. Reid paid a special tribute to those girls who are doing such a splendid job with the Cubs. viz-t the Misses Diamond, MacKenzle. Boswell and Stacey. On behalf of the other members of the Association, litfr. C. H. Black moved a very sincere vote of thanks to the speaker. This motion was strongly suIIPWl-ed by Ml" E- T.

' (Canadian Press Staff Writer) George Drew, new national lead. er of the Progressive Conservative party and a veteran of the First World War. mingled with politici- lns. army buddies and ordinary citizens in Charlottetown yester- day. Shortly before he addressed a Public meeting. Mr. Drew visited U" Iarrison officers’ mess. There he was gently chided about the days in 1931 when as a brigade commander he won the Shang- nessey efficiency cup from a Prince Edward Island battery. The casualness of the army mess was in sharp contrast to his other meetings. He started off the day with a visit to the Lieutenant-Governor's. Hon. J. A. Bernard. There the talk was cuuaLuntil Mr. Bernard mentioned that he is a first cousin of Premier Angus I... Macdonald of Nova Scotia. "Angus ls a good friend of mine," said Mr. Drew, “we have been igiends ever since the First ivorld 'ar." The formalities t the ill-yea:- old Government ouse concluded, IVLr. Drew stopped briefly at City Hall to sign the register and then moved on to the Provincial Legislature. His arrival at the Legislature coincided with the noon release of children from the Queen's Square School. The children, attracted by the crowd surrounding Mr. Drew and his wife, rushed over. Said one youngster to another: "Why, that. is Mr. Drew; do you know him?" The other youngster said: “Sure, he's the guy who is going to beat Truman the next time.“ Enjoyed John A's Wit Mr, Drew got practically as much kick out otf that remark as he did out of a sample of the wit of the late Sir John A. MacDonald, a father of confederation, a former head of the Conservative Party and Canada's first prime minis- ter. In the Confederation chamber. there is on exhibit the book which iihe fathers of confederation sign- ed as they entered to open the historic meetings. ‘I‘.he registration form required the delegates to list their occupation, Sir John gave his as that of a cabinet maker. Local historians say that at the time Sir ‘John was tryinx l0 l°ml a cabinet in Upper Canada. Mr. Drew, who as national leader of the Party has dedicated hiriieelf to the cause of provincial rights, showed great interest in the IOU-year old Confederation Chamber. I-Is was shown through the chamber ‘by Premier Jones, a per- sonal friend despite the difference in their political views. At one point, Mr. Drew broke arjvay from his escort. grabbed a piece of crumpled paper from his pocket. and jotted down an in- snrlption from a tablet elected in commemoration of the confed- eration meetings. The inscription read: "In the hearts and minds of the delegates who assembled in this room Sept. 1, 1864, was born the Dominion of Canada. ‘ "Providence being their guide they buflded better than they knew." From tihe legislature. Mr. Drew and his wife motored back to the hotel. Then the ‘Mower-old former Ontario Premier quietly ellPPBd out with some party officials to visit local newspaper publishers. As he arrived back at the lwtel a Rotary Club luncheon was due to get underway. Mr. Drew was invited in and the club's guest speaker was asked to save hls notes and speak on another oc- casion, Mr. Drew sptllle llflefly and stressed particularly the need for good relations between prov- inces and between communities. Later he addressed a closed meeting of tihe Party's provincial executive. t Meantime. Mrs. Drew. who arriv- ed here Sunday night with her husband on the first lap of a tour of the Maritime Provinces, was en- tertalned at a tea. tendered by ll" women's section of the organizat- ion. Mrs. Drew tried to remain in the background as her husband made his official (‘SILL At City l-Iall she signed the guest book simply as ‘Mira. George Drew, housewife.

Chester S. McLure. M.P. The provincial president of the Associ- ation, Mr. Reagh Bagnall. presided. The presentation of a barrel of oysters was made to the visitors by Dr. MacMillan, who assured them that the oysters were “not only the best in Prince Edward Island, but the best in the world." Y Another pleasing feature was the presentation of a bouquet to Mrs. Drew by little Mis Daryl Jean Rogers, daughter of Maj. ‘I’. B. Rogers, who was rewarded with a warm embrace by the smiling re- cipient. Important Issue “It seams particularly fitting that here in the ‘Cradle of Confederat- ion’ I should speak to you about the most important domestic prob- lem facing our people today—the building of a strong. united and efficient Federal system of govern- ment throughout Canada." Colonel Drew said in his opening remarks. He noted that Prince Edward Is- land did not join the other Prov- inces 1n 1867. largely because adequate provision had not been made to assure effective ccm- munication with the Island. It be- came a Province under an order- in-council of June 26, 1873, which dealt with some of the special problems of the Island, and in par- ticular provided that the Dominion Government would establish and maintain "continuous and efficient communication with the mainland summer and winter." "Every Province," he pointed out. “no matter when it joined Confed- eration. had some spécial consider- ation of particular importance within its own area in addition to the general considerations which applied to every Province. There can be no doubt about tihe obligat- ion of the Canadian Government to carry out the spirit as well as the letter of the Agreement of 1873 and that undertaking must be inter- preted in the light of changing conditions it the spirit is to be ob- served. Accepts Responsibility The speaker said he wished to leave no doubt whatever in the minds of his hearers that he had pledged himself. if returned as Prime Minister of Canada. "to accept the responsibility of ful- filling the spirit as well as the letter of the undertakiri! “Poll which the people of Prince Ed- ward Island Joined to make this one nation. . "In my opinion it is riot suffici- ent that we simply carry that obligation back to the days when other means of transport were known; it. must be interpreted as an undertaking to Give modern and efficient communication at all tjmgs, in keeping with develop- ments in other parts of the country." Col. Drew said he also wished to make it clear that the pro- posed trans-Canada highway mllil- include Prince Edward Island. l-le- ing this Province up viii-h 15119 trunk route from sea tr sea. and providing to the Island the same facilities that are available to other parts of Canada. - Tourist Possibilities "1 would like to emphasize 011° traditions and background which must be preserved. They also knew that in large land areal unitary governments had not proved suo cessful. Therefore they decided that the Federal system of government was the only satisfactory one. and they proceeds‘! on that basis. "This meant a system under which the national government would deal with all strictly nation- al and international affairs, while the provincial governments would have full responsibility for admlnis tration of those local affairs which were of such deep and intimate concern to them. “Prince Edward Island never would have entered Confederation except for the conditions that I have mentioned. There were other considerations concerning Nova Scotia. New Brunswick. and what were then known as Canada East and Canada West which we should bear lri mind. I think it is import- ant for all of us to remember to- day that Quebec would not have come in unless there had been con tained in that Federal pact provia ions assuring them the right to their language. to their religious customs. to their civil law and to other matters. “Make no mistake about it. the people of Ontario erejust asjcalous of the rights and customs that were preserved to them undei the British North America Act as any other part of Canada. These things are the basis upon which Canada became a nation, and they are im portant for us to remember. "In Work and Unity" “Today the most important do- mestic issue facing the people of Canada is the building of a great nation under a federal system which recognizes those ancient cus- toms and rights and at the same time brings us all together in work and unity so that each part of Can» ada may develop to the utmost of its capacity. "When I say that this is the greatest domestic task facing us to- day I say it in the light of the fact that in the opinion cf the pre- sent Dominion Government, the British North America Act can be Qllillliled. in whole or in part. at any lllfle. by a malority vote of the Can- adian Parliament without consult- ing the Provinces. I know that the llcople of Quebec, of Ontario, and °l llllllly Other Parts of Canada are ll°ll Wllllllg to have the B.N.A. Act "PBPDed. and I um sure that the people of Prince Edward Island also wish to retain, as binding ch11. gations. those conditions which I have mentioned and which should be fulfilled by the Government of Canada today. "Tlll? question goes to the root °f "animal lllllll’ and the survival of Canada as one great nation. We had conferences at Ottawa which were called for the purpose of dig. Cllsslllg "1959 general principles rind I pointed out then, and I re. Dent now. that if the Dominion Government and Provincial Govern- ments work in real co-operation there is no single problem that can~ not be solved in a spirit of good- will—not one! Because between the two governments there is power to do anything that can be dorie by any government anywhere in the ivorld, so long as they work to- gether." Revenues Essential “The Dominion Government must deal with the Provincial Govern- ments as , governments, and not simply as office boys (Applause). This Federal "system can only work if the Provincial Governments are recognized as such within their own flelds,—thelr responsibility re- cognized and. above all, provision rnnde for adequate financial re- sources to take care of their re- sponsibiiities.

Federal Obligation "In every Province we hsve built our lives under our munl clpal and provincial systems. It should be the Job of any Federal system set up, to increase the op- portunities of those provincial and municipal councils to finance the development and prosperity of their own communities in every way they can. and that certainly will be the purpose of any Government I am called upon to form.‘ (Ap plause). Colonel Drew stressed particular- ly the rights izuaranteed the Prov- inces with regard to administration of justice, civil rights, property rights and municipal law. under which headings. he said. the Con federation Fathers beiieved our whole free system of democracy," would be preserved. These were “checks and balances" against the usurpation of dictatorial Federal power. With freedom being destroy- ed in wide areas throughout the world, these safeguards were more important to the Provinces today thai-i ever in the past. He warned against the danger of Communist infiltration in Canada, and instanced socialist party plat forms as evidence of the manner in which the doctrines of Marx and Lenin have spread. "We talk about our resources," he added. "about our great opportuni (In. etc.. but the greatest thing we possess in Canada today is the vigor and spirit of our people. and the most certain way that we can create opportunity for our youth is to educate them for the future. and convince them that they can suc- ceed in this country of ours if they are prepared to worlf’ and to win the result of hard work in the way their forefathers did. There never has been any other road to success and there never will bc. . "Look at what we possess! Look at what the rest of the world needs; anyone who examines that knows that this is in truth Can- ada's day of destiny." Colonel Drew quoted several pas- sages from the Hansard report of his statements at the Dominion Provincial tax conference to show the consistency of his attitude with regard to the rights of all the Pro- vinces to adequate revenues to Carry out their constitutional re- sponsibilities. He was aware that a false impression prevailed on this point. and he knew "how hard the propaganda agencies of the Domin- ion Government have worked to create that impression."

It ls all right to tell someone who has been in arrears for five or six years or longer that legal action will be taken if hc does not pay up, but a man that only owes one year's poll tax should not get a nasty letter. We cannot have the same letter for everyone. I'm in favor of collecting the taxes but let us be fair about it. Apparently, the City staff has been taking tlie ad- vice of a few of the Coucillors." Coun. Farmer then read a copy of the "dunning" letter sent to those in arrears for property taxes and also a copy of the one asking that the poll tax be paid. Mayor MacDonald said he saw nothing wrong with either letter. Mayor Reports Criticism Mayor MacDonald said several citizens had censured him for in- sertins’ s. letter of thanks in the Press to the boys and girls of Charlottetown for their good be- haviour on Halloween. Notwith- standing this criticism, the Mayor 881d. be still felt that the young people had behaved well, when it is taken. into consideration that Charlottetown! boys and girls numbered in the thousands. Since Halloween, however, there had been an “epidemic of window~ breaking." He suggested that an ad PAGE FIVE_ preal. signed by the Chief of P0- lice. stating that "we are through with foollng." The Mayor then ask- ed Coun. Farmer, who is chairman of the Police Committee. that In the event of the advertisement feli- ing ln its purpose. "will you Put some plain clotlieainen on polio! duty?" Coun. Farmer laid "Yea". The Mayor said he and the City Council had been invited by the Charlottetown branch of the Can- adian Legion to attend the Armis- tice Day ceremoniea in a body. They would, therefore. meat on Thursday morning at 10.45 at the corner of Kent and Greet George Streets. Suggestions had also been made to him that the Soldiers‘ Monument should be cleaned. En- quiries had been made and his in~ formation was that the Monumenil could be cleaned before Armistice Day for the sum of $50. Queried by the Mayor. Coun. N. W. Low< ther said he would see that the job was done before Thursday. Street Report: Coun. J. D.
