This was certainly the case inst evening when the fourth annual Yzs Men's show played before a capacity audience at the Prince Edward Theatre. Packed full of humorous innovations. "Come To The Fair" is undoubtedly the best show of its kind to be seen locally in a long time. and the enterpris- uig Y's Men should be commend- ed very highly on producing ex- cellcnt entertainment of this type with local talent.

This will be followed by meet.- lngis of the Nova Scotla member: to form similar provincial bran- ches within the Maritime Divis- ion. Decision to form Provincial branches was made at the an- nual meeting of the Dlvllilon last year to enable the member: of each Province to deal with pure- ly locnl matters.

Belief that the Wood Islands ferry service will go on this year Its scheduled despite rumors to the t-ontrary, was expressed yes- terdny by Premier J. Walter Jones. The Premier laid there was only zi few doilars' difference between the subsidy which is be- IHK asked by the operating coni- pany. and whzit the Dominion is offering. and that this difficulty will be resolved before the May 1st date of sailing operations.

Meimwhile Mr. R. E. Mulch. president of Northumberland Ferries l..ld.. said he had no statement to make as to when

the service would start. or as to the nature of the rumored hold- up in the arrangements.

The Liguorian Players of the Holy Rodeenier Parish scored a de- cided hit last. evening as they pre- sented their annual Minstrel Re- view in the Holy Redeemer Hall.

Performed with the idea in mind of raising funds for a new hall. the evening's program was one of lusty entertainment with every member or the large cast. throwing them- selves wliole-heartedly into the work of putting the show across.

Ranging from slap-stick comedy to lovely melodies. the mlnstrel show this year is far superior to any performed by this group previous- ly. and justly merits the support of the public which was so evident. in the packed auditorium last even- ing.

Campobeilo is the historic New Brunswick spot sometimes called "The summer White House" as the Roosevelts were among the famous U. s. families who had summer homes there. Among those said to be interested in the song are publishers. musicians, radio station C. B. R. Don Gar- rard and Eleanor Roosevelt.

Mr. Charters was formerly with the Charlottetown Hotel. and is now employed with the C.N.R. hotel in Vancouver.

Officials of the Provincial De- partment of Agriculture met yes- terday with officials of the Nat- ional Einployment Services in the Province to discuss the shortage of farm labour and means of pro- curiii-; men to fill this gap in agrir-ultiiral manpower.

Mr. W. R. sh.-iw. Deputy Min- ister of Agriculture. and Mr. S. C Wright reprcseiitcd the Provincial GOV('rnlI"l('I1i. and the managers of ithc Summcrside and Charlotte-

town Employment Offices, report- .ed on the prospects of obtaining jfarm help at the present time.

t Mr. Dave Hay, an official of the Atlantic Regional Employ- imcm Office in Moncton. informed ltlie meeting about the availability '01 help from outside the Province.

Managers Earl G. Cannon and

J. B. Murley both told of the in-

creasing number of requests from :Ial'mcrs for farm help. and the .impossihilily of filling the orders which have nccumulaterl from the

few lipplicanls asking for this ,lype of work. The ranks of such workers hiid lieon thinned greatly ;by migration to Upper Canada, tnml also by the transfer of man- ;pnwcr to wood-pulp culling with- liii the Province itself. Many men are now engaged on the Island in

'woods work. the local officers re- Iportcd.

. it was agreed that without re- ulaeements for the litany who Ihad left agricultural employment. Jsland production would be very hard hit. and that practical steps

I to remedy the

-must be taken I situation.

i Mr. ll.-iy believed that some men lmlglit be obtained from cape llareton. and orders will be placed immediately by the inland Em- ployment officers with the Em- ployment Offices in Sydney, Glace Bny. Inverness and Sydney Mines.

The Monctnn official also re- ported that the only overseas help available was some from Italy. and that Dutch. Danish and other immigration was moving almost entirely to Ontario.

Under the circumstances it. was decided to by It limited number of Italian workers. ten in the aummei-side area and ten in the Charlottetown district, to determ- ine if they were suitable to the Inland type of farming.

These men will arrive by ship at Halifax about May I5. and their placement: will be arranged by the National Employment Office: In lllnmenlde and Charlottetown. Any IITIVIII from Cape Bnaton will be ailoled through the same offices. "

FRIDAY Waiting for election returns in Summ uric last night was a particularly harrowing experi- ence due to two power failures caused by breaks in the lines.

Electric 1 ht MPFVICQ in Summer- aide is o inurily dependable and it was unfortunate that power should fail just when the returns were being gathered.

The local radio station was off the air for a short period and some sections of the town had about two hours darkness. in two intervals. The first from 7.30 to 8.30 approximately and the second from about 9.30 to 10.80.

The teleprlntcr in the ideal of- fice of The Guardian was natural- ly out of commission during these periods of power failure which in- terferred with the compiling of returns for the bulletin board. It was also necessary to work in darkness when endeavorlng to col- lect returns from local pools where the officials had not phon- ed them in to election headquart- ers.-S.

Throughout the present week a steady stream of men have been applying at the National Employ- merit. Office. Charlottetown, for work in Labrador, where the

American Government is building .

a new air base near Goose Buy. It is now known that more than 4.000 men will be required for this work. and all of these will reach Labrador by way of Mono- ton as previously notod.'tlie Nat- ional Employment Office in Mone- ton will handle the order for men. and will parcel out suh-orders to all other towns. in the Atlantic Region.

The men applying for work ih' Labrador at the Charlottetown Office. are from all sections of Queens and Kings Counties. only men between the ages of 26 and 56 are being listed. They must pass I medical examination be- fore being approved. All applicat- ions now being received are for- warded to Moneton for screening, and it. is understood that a rep- resentative of the contracting company. will visit Cliarlottetown and Summerside. to look over the men, before they leave for,Monc- ton.
