BY CARL REINKE Canadian Press Stet! Writer OTTAWA, Jan. 17-—-'I_'he Rowell Commission had placed beiore it today a vigorous argument for simplification of Canada's tax sys- tem, well documented from the experience of members of the Can- adian Manufacturer's Association. It heard strong protest against lack of coordination of Dominion‘ and provincial taxation of income and capital, protest against dupli- cation and overlapping of assess- ments, against want of uniformity and arbitrariness which “increase so greatly and so needlessly the inconvenience and expense of the taxpayer", according to the Asso- elation. While realizing demands upon government were heavy and yearly becoming heavier, the Association contended, in a brief submitted to the commission. the present taxation system imposed an un- necessary burden upon manufact- urers in proportion to revenue c01- lected. Under existing conditions it was recognized industry had to pay heavy taxes but the point was stressed that taxation should maintain a “reasonable relation" to earnings. “While we realize that a coun- try's constitution is not static and that changes must come with na- tional growth," the Association said, "we have little hope that constitutional changes alone will provide the necessary remedies for existing maladies. . . . “We respectively submit that our troubles are chiefly financial. If, by some means, public expendit- ures a.nd taxes could be reduced by 20 per cent or by even i0 per cent with reasonable hops that they could be stabilized at such loiwer levels. many of the pressing problems of today would disap- r3. Hon. N. W. R/owell, commission chairman, asked J. '1‘. Stirrett, ss- socistion general secretary, where such reductions in government ex- penditures might be made. "Everyone agrees it would be a great thing if we_ could reduce government expenditures 10 per cent," Mr. Rcwell repeated, “but we need suggestion as to how it could be done." . Mr. Stirrett said he had no in- structions as to any specific rec- ommendations.

To be frank, this was a. surprise to the “wise ones", as they flguned the Seemacs were too strong for the other competing teams. How- ever, this proves that there isnev- er a. tcam too strong to have one better. The game got away to a good start with both goalies making nice stops u the forwards came in. At the eight minute mark Campbell took the puck from his own’ territory and lobbed a shot at Cameron who made the save only to have Gillis come in fast and sink the rebound to make it 1-0 for tbs Valley. Seconds later L. Glydon got a break and went right in on the Valley goal only to have McInnis come out and rob him outside the crease. Play see-sawed back and forth: Gillis got a break and was away fast. only to be robbed at the goal- mouth by Cameron. This was a sensational play by Cameron and he received a big hand from the crowd. Charmin was in on several rushes but Mclhnis turned aside all his efforts. From the start of the second period Jurdine took a shot but missed the net; Champion followed in, picked a loose puck and shot, but did not capitalize; Jardine. however, slapped in the rebound make it 1-1. Minutes later in s scramble Howard had Mclnnis at his mercy but missed the net. Kennedy re- ceived s penalty for boarding, and while the Seemacs were short- hmdcd the Valley turned on the pressure to have on s pass from M.

Tbs third period was only 1W1‘ minutes old when Clint Glydonen a wing shot scored. Shortly after this, V. Glover scored from s mix- up to make it 4-2 for the Valley, and s little lctcr Ramsey scored on a pun-out from C. Glydon tn end the scoring.

THE SUMMERSIDE GUARD IAN FOR Ill) IIEITII. SIIOKEII‘! TII IIOIT~IIIOIILEY3 ‘I'll IOIT All”. I00 MIX‘! I nuns sunmuvss (By s. s. n.) 1110 year 1938 will see the lflh; anniversary of the birth of the first British child in what is now Prince Ediward Isl-and. John Fred- erick Holland was born on the Is- land of St. John (as the “Island" was known up till 1799) the 27th day of October 1758, the eldest son of Samuel Holland and his wife. Maire Josephe Rolettc. This is an anniversary which will not be ceie- bmted. Indeed the date of birth will be questioned, as it is incan- abie of proof, and the statement, thiwt he was the first British baby. disputed. V Some years ago a short article in the columns of this paper by H.D.M.E. on the Webster family, put forth the claim that the first British Birth on the Island was that of John Webster, born at Fort Amherst onKOctober 21 1760, to John Webftcr and his wife the fcnner widow Sanderson. H.D.M. E. was not the first to put forth this claim. Pollard in his historical sketch cf PEI writes: “During the early occupation of Fort Am- herst by the King's troops, an event of more than common occur- rence took place, which was the birth of a son tc Commfsfififl" sergeant Webster, and his wife. being the first birth of British parents on St. John's Island .." Pollard went on further to tel‘. of the second British birth: "Shortly after the surrender of Quebec. in 1759, a number of settlers arrived from Canada and made homes for thcsnseilves in tihe forest on the southern side of ‘Pi-yon River. Among them were s Mr. Clark and his wife, who sometime aftcr arriv- sl were blessed by the birth of a son, whom they named William; he was the second child bsrn of British parents on the Island." Willis Chapman writing on The Life Arid Times Of Major Samuel Holland, surveyor General, in the Papers and Records of the Ontario Historical society, 1924, quotes the Holland tradition that John Fred- erick Holland was hhe first British baby, but gives his birth date as 1764, the year that Major Samuel Holland established himself on the Island to commence the first Eng- lish survey. Now if the date is cor- rect the family tradition is base- less, Chlpman goes on further to note in his scholarly paper that there were several inexplicable rec- ords concerning John Frederick Holland's career which he couldn't reconcile with facts. One of these was that in the return of officers of the first battalion, Kings Own Royal Regi-ment of New York in 178i. John Frederick Holland was credited with five years service. "If this record be correct“ Chipnmn went on, (and he assumed that, John Frederick's birth date of October 2'7 1764 was right), "he entered the service in 1776 when thirteen yours of age." A fact Clripmlan didn't know was that in the Island (l1€'V\'5j1i—\])E‘l') of December 20. 1845 there was recorded the death of John Fred- erick Holland at the age of 87. lf this age was correct then John ‘Frederick Holland was born in 1758. But most certainly Captain Samuel Holland the surveyor did not rxide on the Island of St. John previous to the fall of 1764. Still one can feel sure that. John Frederick was born on the Island for in a letter to Genera‘. Holdi- mand some years later Holland mentioned his two eldest boys as “little Bt. John's Jack’ and "Innis- burg Henry." During the summer of 1758 Sam- uel Holland was at Louisburg mk- lng part in the seigc. Following the capiltualtion he was employed in making a survey of the harbour fortifications etc., plan of which ex- ist to this day. In August Colonel Rollo was sent with five hundred merit to secure the I=land of st. Jdhn for the British. They brought with them an engineer. a follow officer of Holland's. Licut Spry; ten carpenters: and all necessary material and provisions to rein- fbrce Port La Joye it is believed that one of the carpenters was Joh-n Clark. Certainly one of the soldier! was Jbhn webstcr who was rnuuied this year. or the following. to Mm. Sanderson. s war widow with six children. Thus early on the scene are the Clarks and Webstcrs accounted for. Not so easily can we account for the Hol- lands. “In the full of 1766 Holland hav- ing completed his Lmusburg surveying operations went to Hali- fax where he was employed in the plotting of his surveys and the drafting of pans.’ so the hisiorcs tell us. We can only surmise that for some reason or other he paid The Island's First British Baby Holland Or Webster ‘P i "svisittothalsla-ndtbaltfallbo- - 176'! or 1768. John Clark's first fore going to Halifax-perhaps he had business with Lieutenant Spry. It seems reasonable enough to sup- pose that this might be so, and thus it came about that at Fort Amherst on October 27, 1758 the irst child of British parervts was born on the Island. If John Frederick Holland we: born in i758 his birth was certain- ly anticipating his father's and mothers marriage; or Chipman the family historian was s. bit astray when he concluded that it took place at Quebec in 1762. Holland's wife, Marie Josephe Roiette was the youngest daughter of Francois Rolette and his wife Therese Grenet, and she was baptized on Spetemiber i6, 1741. Chipman writes "Her father would not con- sent to her marriage with a man who had fought against the French on the plains of Abraham, but she listened to the call of her heart rather than the remonstrance of her father and elcped wit/h Hol- land." One wonders how Chipmun was sure that the marriage took place after and not before the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. To be sure Marie was only sixteen in the fall of 1757, but in that day of early marriage, it was quite pos- sible, and even probable that she might have married at this date. However the worst snag of this surmise, is not Marie's age, not even her nationality, but the fact that she was l. rezident of Quebec city. It seems rather incredible that a British officer would be sl- lcwed to many a citizen of a. country with which his state was at war. This of course applies whether the marriage was of 1758 or 1702 visits-se- Brut whereas in 1762 we can readily see tihat Hol- land in the trwo previous years (Quebec having surrendered in 1759) would have fine opportun- ities for becoming acquainted with the French lassies of Quebec. it's most puzzling to know how such s. thing could come topass in the fall of 1757 when Quebec was still the impregnable walled fortress. and demure little convent girls were not exactly accessible for foreign officers to elope with! It is no sur- mise thougli, that Holfiand in the year 1757 was employed by Lord Howe on scouting parties in North- ern New Yonk and Canada. He reconnouitred Fiort Ticonderoga of which he made plans. And it is quite likely that at this time romance blomomcd and Marie eloped. Much of what we have con- jectured is based on the premise that John Frederick Holland's age was quoted correctly at the time of his death: and ages of people after they arc eighty are notorious- ly inaccurate- . It. is ccbormated though, to a certain extent by William Clark's age, as given in his obituary. William cliu-k claimed second honours in the first Island British baby contest. His death notice in the "Islander" of April '23 1856 states that. he died on the 11th inst in the 97th year of his age. This would dute his birth as occurring in 1759, or perhaps 1760. Poilardls statcmcmt. that. John Clark the father of William settled at Tiyon shortly after the surren- der of Quebec in 1759 is inaccurate. There was no British settlement. in Tryon or any part of Lot 28 until Tryon lease was not. signed until the 6m day of May 1769 and then he was a resident of Quebec 01W in the prcvvinoeof Quebec. If Will- ism Clark was the second baby born of Britidi parents then his father John most certainly came to the Island in 1758 with Colonel Rcl-lo and afterwards went to Que- bec. perils/pa taking part in the M89 In respect to William Clark it is interesting to note that he was married to one of the first British babies born in ‘Tryon, Margaret, daughter of Balthazar Mutard, one of the ear-soldiers whom Samuel Holland was instrumental in set- tling as tenunis on Lot 2a which he owned. Margaret Mutard (the name later changed to Mutter-t) was born in 1760 and died in 1836. John Frederick Holland enjoyed a long and distinsuished can-c in the army. He was s close intimstc 0f Queen Victoria's fathera the Duke of Kent, and two of his children were god-sons of the 11mm. He was appointed ban-act's muster st Clmrlottetown in i700 and until his death was one of the town's leading citizens. m the anny he attained to the rank of Colonel. His three sons died with- out marrying, one being lgillql It the battle of Chrysler's farm in i013. The Hollands of Prints!
