Fonrniet" made this very definite statement: ’ “Pcrttiit me tn aclunnvlcdge rcceipt of your letter of Sept. 3 denliitg with the matter of the reconstruction of the railway wharf at Char- lottetown.

As Mr. McLure recalled to the Govern- ment's attention, ‘this project had actually been started some years ago, and was suddenly drop- ped after Parliament had voted $250,000 to carrv on the work. The material was brought . here and surreptitiously shipped away to be used in sortie other Province. Now Parliament will not even have the chance to rc-vbte the money this session. notwithstanding the Minister's def- . lnite promise to the contrary. \Vhat kind of treatment is this. and ho\v long are the people of Prince Edit-art] Island going to stand for It? \ vurplus Naval Craft The (lcstroycr Jrrlirziboirtc, it seems, is stuck last otif South Lake and hopes 0f freeing '_ her, at least for this season, have been aband~ oned. In the meantime, have efforts been ‘i made. through the Navy League or otherwise, to obtain surplus boat of any kind for the training of our Naval Cadets? When one reads of quarter-tnillion dollar Fairmiles being auc- tioned at Sorcl for $3.000 apiece, it is not un- reasonable to assume that a suitable training ship could be cihtztittetlifor this Province at , very little cost. This subiect was brought up in the House of Commons last week by an Ontario mem- ber, who wanted to know whether considera- fion had been given to thc transfer of a num- ber of suitable surplus naval vessels to the ..av'v League for Sea Cadet training purposes. Navy Klinister Abbott replied in the af- firmative. A ntuuber of small craft such as . "sailing boats and ltarbuttr craft are tnade avail- ; able. he said; but with respect to the lmtviu- '~ type of naval craft it ltas been felt advisable to IfQCD Yllfifie tiflr the Royal Cattadiati Naval div- rstons. where they could be used not only, in P6111111‘: bifa Cutlets hnt Naval Reserve forces as well.

Mr. Howe’: Responsibility” A§_ll()l€‘(l recently in these columns, this rovince is apparently getting nowhere in its Construction t-latts at Ottawa, Reconstruction lister Howe had intimated in Parliament that prefers dealing with the regional reconstruc- . n councils rather than with the Provinces and bltifliclpalities direct in this matter. The Pro- _ mat Government, 0n the other hand, has its a hwn advisory reconstruction committee, who's: [ans it is clalnted have already been prepared pfilflfiflltd at Ottawa. ' .

This places responsibility fairly and squarely on the Itfinisterb shoulders; and it is for him to explain why this Province is being neglected in Federal reconstruction plans. If the fault lies with our Provincial and munici- pal governments in failing to contact his de- parttnent, then we should know the truth. At present we seem t0 be all at sixes and sevens. Other provinces are marching forward- witlt tllteir reconstruction plans, and it would be a sbatitc and a disgrace if for any reason whatever we failed to ioin. -EDITORIAL NOTES- "No country in the world is better served bv its press than Canada.”—Senator Charles Bishop. n- v i i It was announced yesterday that the Na- “tional IIarbors Board would be visiting Saint John this week for the purpose of considering worthwhile suggestions for improvement of harbor facilities there. Would it not be well for the City Council and the Government here to co-opcrate in extending an invitation to the Bcrard to visit Charlottetown, with a view to giving effective consideration to intproved port facilities here? O I U I Tomorrow Advent Sunday. The four weeks immediately proceeding Christmas are collectively styled Advent, a term denoting ap- proach or arrival, and are so called in reference to the coming celebration of the birth of our Saviour. With this period, the ecclesiastical year is held to commence, and the first Sunday of the four is termed Advent Sunday. It is al- ways the nearest Sunday to the feast 0f St. Andrew, whether before or after that day; so that in all cases the season of Advenfshall con- tain the uniform ntimbfr 3f four Sundays. \Var Asset auctions are not all they are cracked up to be. A leading citizen bought an Air Force clock, guaranteed to keep accurate time, only to discover it went 90 minutes fast in the 24 hours. He complained to the powers- that-be, discovering that another clock had been substituted for the one for which he had a ticket, and a make-good was provided by W ai- Assets. On the other hand, a public official is said not to have been p0 fortunate. It is al- leged he bought two tractors, and when he went to obtain delivery found only one left, the other had disappeared. ‘ i! I The Rev. Norman Sloane, minister of the Central Methodist Church, Spcnnymoor (Dur- ham), believes dancing is so good for youth that he gives tip two nights a week tcachiitg those who cannot do it. Said Mr. Sloane: "Young people will ‘dance. Why shouldn't they? But let them dance in a Christian en- vironment.” To those who object to his methods Mr. Soane says: “I am out lo attract pagan youth from the streets, to bring those outside the churches into contact with the churches, and to have an opportunity of reaching them in a way I cannot do by ordinary means.’ Metho- dists in the area are divided about week-night dances and Sunday night socials on church premises-although congregations have doubled, the lVeslcy Guild membership has more than doubled, and the Youth Clubiis rapidly growing l Veterans Minister Mackenzie announces that the Canadian pension commission, after lengthy research and study, had authorized an upward revision in the rates of pension payable for certain disabilities effective from October r this year. One such change increased the rate of pension for total deafness of both ears from 50 to 8o per cent. The minister explain- ed that a principle involved in some of the in- creased rates was that the composite assessment of percentage oi disability, where more than one disability existed in the same mah, will be that the arithmetical total of those total disabilities. but not to exceed I00 pcr cent. "For example the pension awarded for loss of the right eye has been 7o per cent." the minister said. “while loss of the left eye has been ‘assessed at 4o per cent. Where one man had both disabilities, formerly his total disability would be assessed at 8o per cent on the grounds there was over- lapping of disability. Under the amendment the combined assessment will be 100 per cent." Action has been taken to adjust pension pay- ments retroactive ‘to October I. ‘ o r n- a , The Young Roscius, (William Henry Betty) the greatest English boy actor of history, made his first appearance in London this date, r804, at the age of twelve; previously he. had created sensations in Ireland, Scotland, and in the English provinces, with the result tremendous interest was evinced in his debut it Drury Lane and Covent Garden Theatres, for he was book- ed for both; both theatres were packed to over- flowing every afternoon and evening for 28 days to see and hear him, yielding the managers a net profit of $130,000 for his 56 performances} audiences went into wild peroxyisms over his performance; of Tapered, Romeo, Frederick.

SLIDES FOR UNDER-DRIVI- LEGED Sin-Some time ago the tnem. bers of the various city service clubs were approached for support in undertaking erection o1 a sys- tem of slides ln our public squares. This support was provided, as most. members of the clubs were convinced that under-privileged chlldrcti would benefit. by such a plan if 1t was properly supervised. I note that at 1e present time sections of the squares are being levelled for outdoor skating rinks. If these rinks are to be supervised for the benefit of the younger chil- dren so that obey could enjoy Skit. ‘tang or playing hockey after school nd on holidays I belleve most cltl- zens would cheerfully support; the plan. However, I have heard ru- mors that the present Intention of the “Powers-that-be" ls to install lighting so that. these rinks will presumably be available to any who wish to use them at. all hours of the day and night. Lt true I believe residents llvlng around these squares would have a legitimate right to object strenuously to such nightly activities, with the conse. quent noise and rowdylsm which would llkely be prevalent, and I be- lleve those ln charge of this plan should atlck to the idcas which the Service Clubs originally supported.
