He finds the Island more beautiful even than he had remembered it, and is thrilled by the kindness and courtesy wit which he had been welcomed.

Made Trip By Plane Orr rand his family had been planning a trip by plane to Prince Edward Island some time. There was difficulty in get- ting transportation, and when it turned out that there was accdrn- modation for but one passenger on the present occasion, he had reluctantly to come by himself. i-Tis son. Frank Orr. Jr.. who is in the newspaper business in Watsonviiie, Cal., and who was recently demob- illzed from the U. S. military forces, hopes to visit the Island next year.

Mr. Orr made the flight from San Diego in thirty-four hours. He says lt gave him one of the thrills of his life to see his beloved Island from the air. spread out in the sunshine like a Persian carpet. After the lapse of so many years. its coastline and other features seemed unbelievably familiar.
