DRUMMOND Freetown, PEI. UNWAERANTED TRUCK LICENSES Bin-Our farmer: and their sons as. users of motor trucks in this province are at present fucing a very serious problem by the exces- sive motor truck license fee, as purpoaed by the highway depart.- ment. whfch simply spells that the majority of motor tnrck owners will be deprived of their livelihood by virtue of this drastic action on the part of our representatives. in raising the ante on the truck lic- ense that-only a man with plenty of money can take out his truck on the highways at all. A; for the man with his truck still unpaid for, and there are many of them who are depending on the season's work to make their payments, now their prowects are very discour- aging when they have to pay three times the former license fee. True, I admit that the old rates were too low, but to impose a tax, such as the Government are advocating, is an imposition on our motor truck users, in view of the fact that we only have a limited mileage of paved roads on this Island, and at the most these can only be trav- ersed from seven to eight months of the year. Furthermore, you can- not compare our roads with Nova Scotla. or New Brunswick roads, where they have made every prov- ision for snow removal, certainly no comparison whatever. It behooves the Government to use a little common horse sense. and wake up before it's too late. I am, Sir, etc, . .. . TRUCKER. TRUCK LICENSES Slr,—In a. recent issue of your paper,I see where the Government proposes raising the license fee on motor tnlcks. Now that is not what the people were told before the last provincial election, by those men seeking election to of- fice; it was lower taxes for every- body; but they have failed miser- ably to keep those promises. I think I am safe in saying 90% of motor trucks in this province are owned by men who earn their liv- ing by their trucks. Why should the Government try to put. these men out of business as a higher license fee will certainly do? Why do they jump on the trucks alone? Why not motor cars as well? As I think they are a greater menace on our roads. How many people have been killed by trucks in our province? Truck drivers as a gen- eral rule exerdse greater caution than motor ear drivers. as they realize it would be much harder to stop n. heavy truck in a case of near accident. It seems that an outsider gets the preference, as n. man was allowed to bring a heavy bus from Nova scoffs or some province. This bus weighs much more than many of the trucks when fully loaded, yet does not pay any gas tax as it operates on cheap fuel oil. At a meeting in East Royalty Hon. Mr. Prowse stated this bus was much easier on our roads than trucks because of the difference in the wheel-base. Now let me tell him he is mistaken, as ther are AN OLD FACE Calm as a reaped harvest height Lying in the dim moonlight, Yet with wrinkles round the eyes, Jolly, tolerant and wise: Beauty gone but in its place Such a savour. such a grace Won from the fantastic strife 0f this business we call life.

After the examination was completed and the boys had left the physician's office the father remained to have a con- fidential chat. with the physician- “rm worried about Bill (the younger). He doesn't seem interest- ed in his studies, and wants to play all the time. We cant get him to bed at night nor get him up in the morning. Now Jack (the elder) nev- er gives us a mmutekr. worry. He matriculated with good standing, studia for a while, then takes some exercise and goes ba& to hi; stud- ies. Ho won the tennis and also the wrestling championship of his year at college. He seems w be wtiing and quite satisfied to study, to take his exercise, wrestle and play ten- nis. Bill plays hockey, football. baseball and other games but I have a hard time getting him down to study. He wants to be out with the "gang" e11 the time. whereas Jack never goes out except to the university during the day and stud- ies at. night. You aee he gets his exercise and pleasure during the day with tennis and wrestling‘! After a minute or two of thought the physician said. “I wouldn't worry about Bill and his studies; if you want to do any worrying you might better worry about Jack." "Why?" asked the astounded father. “Well, Bill “mixes" with every- body. plays "group" garr - basket- ball, baseball, hockey and football- attd is ‘scraping’ through his exam- inations at. school, whereas Jack does not mix with others, has no “chums; plays ‘individual’ games such as tennis, and his only ‘bodily contact’ sport is wrestling where he simply meezs a boy his own weight. You see he doesn't have to play the outfield in bascball, defence in hoc- key, scrimmage in football, when he would like to pitch in baseball, be a. forward in hockey, or a halfback in football. He does what he “like? to do—no group or team spirit. This “lone wolf" spirit will make him a less useful member of the com- munity later on, because he hasnt played the games where he has tn give and tzrl-rc. He 1s more apt to draw in upon himself-an un- healthy nervous condition. More than brain, skill. endurance, or pluck is needed to make the all round man." there is I other place and operate it in this’ I believe there is a lesson here for parents. By all moons see that. your boy and girl keeps up with the av- erage of the class in the schoolroom but the training in the schoolroom makes up but one part of the traim ing for Iife lots of trucks with just as long a wheel-base. » Now, truck owners had better wake up before this is allowed to go any further, as you never can tell what will happen before those 30 M.L.A,.'s nre vvaked from their rosy dreams. and find another Government in power in this pro- Vince.
