In view oi the circumstances. Mr. Justice Arsen- ault excused him. The five young men, arralzned on a charge of cattle stealing, ap- peareg for sentence. Their counsel. Mr. . R. Bell. while Pleading for cl oy, admitted the charge to be a serious one, and one that has a severe penalty attached to it. It is an intolerant situation, if fann- ers are not able to let animals re- main at large in the fields at night. The five young men Kuilty 0f m! crime are vouus. from 13 W 35 3'05“ of age. ‘These five men all come from respectable families and from p. respectable part of the country. 1t is hard to explain, Mr. Bell said. why these boys should stoop to such a serious crime for the sake of a lew dollars, when they could have money from other sources. This was theiryfirst appearance in court. Ar- thurand Ben reside with their wi- dowed mother, at Glasgow Road. They have another brother at home. who is a. cripple.

It was gratifying that the work of the Junior Red Cross in this Province stands second to none in any pert of Canada". it was alsogratifping that we lead wens work. In this connection the Permit!‘ mid a very warm tribute to Miss Wilson, and Dr. Acker. whose work has been nothing short of marvelous. The report showed that last veer there was collected about $2.500- ali of which was scent to relieve crippled children. This. the sneaker said, was the greatest make. He agreed that more and better work can still be done; the only limit to the work being the money available. He hoped there would be a ., ‘ public response this year. Charitable as are our citizens towards every deserving cause. the work of the Red Cross Society should be augmented in this city and province; and it will be augmented just as soon as the cash comes in. The Premier expressed apprecia- tion of the staff of the Public mall-h Dvimtment. He also re- ferred to the campaign which the Deportvnsnt-is sponsoring for den- tal clinics. Mental hygiene as a. most neces- sary field of health activities in this Province was unphasimd by the speaker, who concluded on an optimistic note with regard in the societies’ future progress.

Both His Honours patronaee and the kind- ly interest of the Premier and Minister of Health and Education in the progress of the Society make the work of your officers far more interesting and serves as an inspiration for us to do even great- er things. During the past year, eight meet- ings or the Executive ‘were held and were exceptionally well at- fended. At our Executive mcetfng on Pbbmary ist it was decided to have cer-tain standing committees ap- pointed as follows: 1- Hillfiivlbbod Children's Cases —.Dr. H. D. Johnson. Chairman. 2.

Each committee functioned one hundred m!‘ cent, Uld W88 thus able to giw: more personal attention to the matters referred to it than would have been the case had the Executive as a whole had to deal with such matters.

Th; Port of Charlottetown some ago was the centre of great that as many as forty square- riggers could be seen in the Port at one time. Theprmnt docks and facilities were constructed largely to accommodotesailing voniels, and. stcamships. ‘Ibday. with the larger class of stelmships that are em- ployed. even in cruises, on the At- lantic Seaboard. a Porirto attract traffic, must be efficiently and mod- ernly equipped in every respect. Pbr several years now onumber of the larger boats on‘ cruises would have come in caariottetown. but. on uiry as to accommodation here, found our facilities were such that they would not call at our Port. Unfortunately, it appears that-some lmfavorablo reports have got abroad that Charlottetown Har- bour is a dangerous one to enter. My firm. as I-loycvs ts, have to sand-reports immedi to London of ‘any improvements, to vigation or docking faculties, atthis or other Ports in the Province. The trouble is. we have not had the privilege of mskingwany such report for Char- lottetown over a long period of years for the mason that there has been no Survey of the Harbour mode forever fifty years, nor im- provements made of any conse- quence. ' " mil details and Particulars of the conditions prevailing at any Port om available for all principal ship- ping centres of the world, so that with our existing conditions-prob- ably twenty-five years behind the times-it is working very greatly to the disadvantage of the Province and to the prejudice of the Port. This will continue until a compleifl Hydrographic Survey is made of our Harbour, and the necessary im- provements are carried out to mod- cmim it. 1.110 Pint Move The first move, there! v, is a Survey, which could be done im- mediately on the opening of Navig- ation, this comm!

It can hardly be expsetekthst private wharf owners at Char ictown should spend large pits! sums to mode their while. in other Ports, Millions of dollars are being spent by the Iliad eral Government in building modv ern piers, freight and passenger sheds, with all lID-to-dats terminal faculties; and than, for o number o: years, the deficits in operation are taken cars of by the Dominion until the Port gets on its foot and is priv- perly ed. I. have inter- viewed. the ‘ several wharf owners who have Steamship, Agencies, and I believe they will favour lush a move in the interests of the Port and City gensrally._ even though they are .obliged by doing so to make considerable personal sacri- fice, re _ lvate enter- prise could not undo aka such res- ponsibility or expenditure. I have for some" time been looking into the operation of the larger Ports under Harbour Commislons. and am strongly advised by some officials who have had extensive ex- perience in Port opomtion. that Charlottetown should have the sit- uation here thoroughly entrained into by experts, with a view of mak- ing application to the Federal Gov- ernment for tho construction of modern terminal faculties, to be operated by a Harbour Board. Sir Alexander Cllbb, who was Chairman of a Commission appoin- ted by the Canadian Government to examine into the report on the Na- tional Ports of Canada, is credited with the following statement: "The Port must be developed in advance of_its immediate ‘-; a vrwue shipping will not be attrac- ted and traffic will not be develop- ed."

Although there is no longer room for much growth in member- ship, the re-enrolments for this school year am somewhat ahead of last year's figures at the some date and indicate a well maintained in- terest.
