Island Odds And Ends

Eastern King's Board of Trade Wilma an emergency landing field near Sourla and W. H. Irwin, an-. actor of Civil Aviation for Canada was downlsourlo Way a few weeks ago to look the country over. and get an idea of what. the Board of Trade people had in mind. The Dominion Government gives noth- ing much in tho way of financial lllllport to ouch civilian emergency fields. but Eastern Klng'. has hopes of hooking the scheme into Department of Defence plans. From Sollrlo the entire Gulf of St. Lawrence could be easily swept by aircraft in time of war.

Such Board of Trade mambo . as J. H. M. Dolzlel. manager of the Bank of Commerce at 50lII'l!. Roy Maclsan of Matthew and MacLean, Paul Gallant and Arthur Peters of Eastern Packers, Bruce Stewart, Imperial Oil agent. Sourls. are puohing the idea vigorously. The Board In getting active assist- ance at Ottawa from Mr. Tom Kickhom. M.P.. who does not for- Xe! tllllt he is an exporter and farmer. or well as King's rep- rzelfntotfvo In the Dominion Cap-

. If the Department of Defence could be sold on the usefulness of such an airport. money of course would be more readily available. Any ,alr force ::...elopment in the area would call for paved run- ways. buildings. a maintenance staff and adequat. roads in. and leading to the port. Its an objec- tlve worth any effort Eastern Klng'a Board of Trade expends on it.

Charles J. Redmond. secretary of the Board believes that tho emer- gency landing field plan will get approval eventually. There is an- other objective on the Board's program which Mr. Redmond men- tions, as giving the Board mem- hen some concern. It is the re- storation of steamship gerlrlce to the Magdalene'r. The S. 5. Lava! formerly called at Sourls through- out the summer months and was subsidized for such service.

Ottawa however has ruled that at least fifty tons of freight per trip is necessary to make the sub- sldlzation worth-while and. there In not always that tonnage billed. Meanwhile any frciglltvdestined for Magdalene points is 8011!! Vll Charlottetown. Sourls of course is the most convenient shipping point. especially for those shippers and farmers in King's who do quite a bullnesg with the small islands in the Gulf. Sourls has good hopes that a boat Will soon be back on the Souris-Magdalene run. I

Il.'a on old story for Islanders in leave home to establish themselves in business elsewhere in Canada or the U. S. and quite successfully.

Not so many Islanders leave home and re-establish themselves elsewhere on the Island. There are some nevertheless. and one of them In Mr. Elmer Offer: now owner of the Ideal Dairy at Sum- meralde. Still a young man. Mr. Offer is one of the western town's recognized business men. In the tough 1930': be” selected Summerllde as A good town In which to establish a dairy and soon had a small but modern plant in operation. The plant has since been expanded and today it gives employment to twelve People- Berldoo serving tho.people of Sum- mrslde Mr. Offer has contracts to supply the American Air Force in Newfoundland with his products. and his in n well-managed business, nn asset to Summerslde.

Mr. Offer's father was the late James Offer who for many year! represented the De Laval Dally Equipment Company in tho Prov-

ce. Mr. Offer attended Guelph Agri- cultural College to fit himself for the dairy business. He has one sister in Charlottetown. Mn. R. R. Cameron of Brighton. Whose husband is an employee of the Charlottetown Post Office Depart-

ment. o o o o

At the mid-week point of last week the lobster factories in Saurls had worked only two half days since the season opened. The reasons-ice, and high winds. Never- theless the folks down that way are not discouraged. They reason that only so many lobsters are available. and that when fishing does start. the catcher thould be big. Last year catcher became very small long before the season ended. However. when lobsters be- came scarce-as Sourio People point out-other fish become plentiful and there is work for many people. 0 0 O Cardigan neoplo deli!

Island Crow Value Being Determined

The Canadian Wildlife Service of the Department of Resources and Development is carrying out. with the co-operation of the pro- vincial authorities, a study to dis- cover the relations of the crow lo waterfowl and other information determining its economic status on Prince Edward Island.

At present it is reported locally that there is in the Province 9. larger population of crows than usual. with such statements there also come controversial reports as to the extent to which crows prey on nests of waterfowl and upland game birds, as to whether they are an asset or a detriment to the farmer and as to whether they need to be controlled or not.

By studying their food habits during different seasons of the year through field observations and stomach analysis and by observing the extent to which they prey on nests of waterfowl and other birds, it is hoped to obtain answers to some of the questions arising from these reports.

Part of the study will require the locating of crow ” ,, sites throughout the Province. At these sites a. number of crows. including nestlings. will be taken as spmlr men: for stomach analysis. w 1e others will be banded. When the banded birds are later shot by farmer or sportsmen and reported. the information gathered will aid in determining their numbers and migration habits.

If any of the readers know the whereabouts of areas used by crows as nesting sites. it will be much appreciated and greatly facilitate the study if they will report these to I-LR. Webster. Dominion Wild- life Officer, General Delivery. Charlottetown. Information as to the exact location of the nesting site and the approximate number of crows using it would be requir- ed. Although it may not be poe- slblo to visit all such areas in one season, as many of them as pos- sible, representative of various con- ditions. will be chosen and used.

since it is anticipated a number of crows will be killed as a result of the recently announced crow shooting competition it would fur- ther facilitate collectlnc specimen! for stomach analysis if some of these crows could be saved for this purpoaef Arrangements have been made to receive freshly killed crows at the Provincial Cold stor- age, Charlottetown, and at the Hall Manufacturing at Gold stor- age Co. at Summer-side. Tags, ask- ing for a few essential facts ro- gordlng the date and place where the crew was killed. can be ob- tained at the cold storage plants.

Maritlmes Biggest log Drive Away

DALHOUSIE. N. 8.. May 15- (OP)-The biggest log drive in the Maritime Provinces is under way on the Rostigoucho River in northern New Brunswick.

During the month-long drive, to end about June 1, 360,000 cords of pulpwood--zoughly equivalent to 150,000,000 feet of sawlogs-will move downstream to mill booms at Dalhousie and Atholville. -

The logs represent an average cut in Restigouche County. This phase of the industry had a poor start last fall when the lumber markets were week. In the winter, however, international demand grew stronger and woods work picked up as companies increased their quotas.

The drive is one of the few major stream-driving operations to survive east of Quebec province. In New Brunswick, especially, siu-eam-driving generally became a colorful story of the past when companies decided it would be cheaper and easier to set l':p saw- mills ln the woods and bring out lumber by trucks.

This implied even to the mighty St. John River, running 400 miles nbrth to south and through al- most the entire length of the pro- vince. The Ilfol. lumberinz in the Maritimes was done on the banks of the St. John.

Commends SpiritQf Reserve Units Here

......

speaking before a large gather- mg of officers and guests of the 5th Division signals Rest. (RFD at the Charlottetown Hotel sat- urday night. Colonel I-l.I... Mouse . 0.B.E., lllastomv Army Command chief of staff. declared that "the military spirit and enthusiasm of reserve units throughout the Is- land is of a finer type than I have ever seen elsewhere."

The casion was the second an- nual d nner meeting of the famed Maritime Signals R,eglment' com- manded by Lt. Col. Keith John- son. Charlottetown.

Brig. G. E. R. Smith. C.B.E. commanding the Army's New Brun- swick area. told the dinner meet

that he thought "Island 'solation did something good for a province." He said the people seemed to de- velop not only a strong national spirit of unity but also a pro- nounced feeling of local unity that caused them to back their provin- cial activities with great. enthu- siasm and fervor."

Earlier in the day Col. Mouser and Lt. Col. J. M. Delamere, M.B.- E., command administrative chief, inspected reserve force accommo- dation in the Charlottetown area. Col. Meuscr told the meeting that present restrictions on defence dollars for the army made it unlike- ly that any new armourics would be constructed in P.E.I. in the near future. He said that a form- er Federal Government plan for Canada-wide construction of mod- em armouries had been shelved for the time being. "However. there is a possibility," he pointed, out. "that construction of permanent type huts, somewhat similar to the wartime Niasen style, may be car- ried out as a temporary relief for the reserve force accommodation problem."

Col. Johnson. serving as official host and chairman at the dinner meeting. called upon the com- mand reprcscntatives to obtain authority for Maritime signals units to do, their annual summer train- ing ”in the Matltimes rather than at Camp Petawawa. Ont." where they are slated to go this year. In preference to Petawawa. Col. John- son said his unit. would much prefer to go to "the home of sig- nals at Vimy Barracks, Barriefleld. Ont..” for summer camp.

The command officials assured the unit that they would do their best to assist them in solving ac- commodation problems and reloc- ating signals summer camp train- Ing more advantageously.

Included among the guests at the dinner were:

Brig. W. W. Reid. D3. 0.. com- manding 21st Armoured Brigade, Capt. J..l. Connolly, V. R. D.. oom- mending H.M.C.s. Queen Chat- lotte, Lt. Col. 0. G. Peake. D.S.0.. E.
