-Several weeks ago a news item revealed the serious situation creat- ed in Summerside durnig a fire slum. by persons who were in the helm of Jamming telephone circuits by dialing the operator or police station to inquire the location of the flu. In an interview at that "310. Mine Clare Mountain. Chief Operator of the Summcraide Tele- Phone Exchange appealed to citizens to refrain from this practice and Dointezi out that emergency calls lo ind from the Police Station and through the telephone office could not be made when these circuits were jammed by calls.

An Official of the Summerside Fire Department at that time gave Insurance thet business men would I” Dmmptly notified of any fire I-hll might be located in or threat- tn their business interests. The first fire at night since the appeal was made came early yesterday morn- IM at the residence of Mr. James P- Hoilan at approximately 3.00 "ii. The problem oi quickly mov- lnl three elderly people from the home and of notifying other mem- ber: of the family created a series of emergency calls that had to be lfmde directly concerned with the

too much headway. the house filled rapidly wtih smoke and it was with some difficulty that Mrs. Hogan. who is suffering from a fractured hip. and her mother, Mrs. James M;icNcill. age 98 years. were taken from the house by Mrs.. Harris and Miss Mary Hogan.

Let's Talk It Over

by'f'

It Guardian readers can put up with a little more of our ”prattle”. (that's what the man said) we'd like to enter the lists and break a lance or two with our redoubt- able adversary. W. J. nnrlght. Re meinberiu. the Latin. "in media stat virtue." which we trust W. J. E. can translate. we had hoped

to be a "middle of the road" thinker on 4 tion, but it seems you can't be that. If Mr.

C'he.ndler in not a ”t.rad-itlonn.llst". he must be a ”progresa'ivist". Even at you and I. We must not have our own individual ideas about anythlm. WJ.E. insists we must be aheop: either the "white cheep" who belong in the traditionalist fold. or the "black sheep" who are progreulvisfa. . . .

In one of the letters we read in The Guardian "Public Forum” the progreseivists were accused of using airy exprmaione with no con- crete substance behind them. We are waiting patiently, and so far vainly. for eomethlng concrete from the opponents of the pro- greaalviefs. In what way have the progresslvtsta invaded our schools? When we hear their actual meth- ods discussed, we'll be able to ap- praise them better. Let's come down out of the clouds of "pra- gmatic rel.ativ'isim" and talk about teaching techniques, a dis- cussion which all our readers will understand. so far our peril from progresslvism seems to lie in the fact that our educational leaders "received their degrees from unl- veraltlea on the Canadian main- land. or in the U.S.A." So that's where the rascals have been go-

Sport Echoes From Prince county

No question about it. Jack Frost is a sick man. It's been I long time since he stayed off the job for such a stretch as this. Old-timers will remember the win- ter of 1921-22.. We were in Cape Breton that winter but presume Prince Edward Island would have about the name weather. On February 12, there was a thaw. and though nobody knew it at the time. it was really the lass called spring moving in away ahead of schedule. No more frost except the kind we get at night in late March and early April. But it was one of the most backward springs on record. It could hap- pen again, but lets hope it doesn't.

It's been tough on the manage- ment of the new Raceway Stad- ium, but we think they should feel encoiu-aged about the way fans attended the hockey matches that were played. We don't know about the skating. but the town and addolning country seem to be hockey-minded to a satisfactory degree, and with the installation of artificial ice. and a good hoo- key program, there should be no lack of crowds at the Stadium.

J. K. Curran, Summel'sld.e's No. I sportsman for the last five or six years, is in hospital. and Sum- merslde sports fans are all hop- ing that he will make a good re- covery.

As far as we know. this is W. J. E.'s first attempt to get down to concrete cases. and although his lwit was sparkling. his argument was virtually non-existent.

. . . "Reading readiness” is a quite understandable, and reasonable

gconcept. Calling It a pait of the progresslvlst "lingo" is not a very damning indictment of it. It will have to be attacked from a more realistic angle to insure its being discredited. In closing we want to thank WJE. for accepting the invitation implied in the title of this column. He has accused us of "spinning yarns for propaganda purposes" but we assure him our writings on education and other matters are much too disconnect ed a-nd desultory to be part of any such systematic effort. And. by the way. when W.J.E. gets ready to lambaste us again. "small d" is the proper way to address us. We hope "small" is not Part of the progressivist "lin- go" for although "little d" is quite all right for the lower case let- tcr itself, our friends have grown " -" to using the other aobrlquet. and as a eonsequence it has taken unto itself congenial associations
