The second resolution. moved by Dr. J. C. Houston and second- ed by Dr. J. D. McGuigan, was lo the effect that the Medical As- sociation petition the Provincial Government to bring in a form of liquor control so as to relieve the doctors of Prince Edward Is- land of the necessity of issuing “scripts? -

"And whereas many at the an.

tion was passed before the Attorney General:

“And whereas certain members of the Association or profession bv reason of pressure of the pub- llc or patients have not complied with the strict letter of the res- oiution:

soon-int Trek ln North ls Planned

By JACK BRAYLEY ..OTTAWA, Oct.’ I7—(CP) —Two hundred qaeciaiisla together with airmen in a, supply squadron will trek 3,000 miles across the top of. Canada to continue cold weather experiments launched last year in British Columbia and Saskalche. wan. it was officially announced here tonight.

The expedition. under the direc- tion of Col‘, J. T. Wilson, director of operational research at Defence Headquarters. will concentrate Nov. 1 at Camp Shilo, Man, for initial training. It will move to the giant. int: point-Churchill on Hudson Bay-Fob, 1.

Tho following three month; will sec it push through the Arctic Circle rim across the Northwest Territories to Fem Simpson and follow the Alaskan Highway to Ed- monton, the iennlnal point of the. exercise.

An an" supply train will operate from Winnipeg initially and then Switch to northern emergency lfigéds to drop food and supplies to ihmllgh the Arctic wildness on the latest times of snowmobiles.
