of St. Dunstan's University as he addressed the Atlantic Coun- cil of Catholic Nurses at their annual dinner held last night at the new Fathers of Confed- eration Memorial Complex.

The author of the recently published , ” 'nce Ed- ward Island and Confederation" dealt with the attitude of the Island and Canadian unity from prior to the 1864 Charlottetown Conference to the year 1878 when it finally joined with the rest of Canada.

He described the Island as strongly against unity with the rest of Canada because in the year 1864 it was economically self sufficient and able to sell its agricultural and fisheries products to places outside of the Canadian provinces. It felt that there would be a drop in economy and a lessening of legislative importance w h l c h the province then enjoyed.

Father Bolger said he would like to make one correction in history. that of the picture of .I.C. Pope rowing out to the Victoria to greet the delegates from Canada. noted that he was rowed out by a fisherman.

QUEER REASONS v

He noted that in P.E.‘I. 's lack of enthusiasm over the 1864 Charlottetown conference was shown by the reasons they appointed delegates atali. first because it would be a lack . courtesy not to and secondly that Nova Scotia ’and New Brunswick might do something at the conference that P.E.I. would . .

For years after the Charlotte- town conference. Father Bolgcr said. Prince Edward Island re- mained in a state of "splendid isolation" in its stand against confederation. The only reaso it finally joined confederation was because of a si.ooo.ooo debt which PEJ. had from building a railroad. When the railroad was first started Father Bol- ger said. it was supposed to be 1m miles long from (icons town to Alberton but b the time it was finished it stretch- ed over aoo miles. The cost per mile at that firm was 85,000.

In um they finally agreed to come into confederation. Through parts of his address Father Boiger had his audience laughing as he described some of the characteristics of the fathers of confederation through biographical sketches of eacil

one. ANNEXED CANADA

Father Boiger noted at the end of his address that when P.E.I. finally joined the union f Canada. the then governoi general of Canada. the Earl uffern visited P.E.I. and stated when he returned to or- tawa that he "found the people of Prince Edward Island in a state of joy. They seemed as if they had just annexed Canada to Prince Edward Island.

During the banquet entertain- ment was provided when Ken Russel and Myrna Nicholson each sang two solos. Chairman for the banquet was president of the local guild. Mrs. Lillie MacGulgan. Councillor Ml‘s. Dorothy Corrigan represented the city.

Previous to the banquet the members of the council toured the theatre buildings under the guidance of House Manager Robert Du-bberly.

On March 30th, 7.964.; Royal Assent was given to a Private Member’s Bill changing the name “Trans-Canada Air Lines”

We, at TCA, welcome the decision to change the name of Canada’s national airline to "Air Canada". This coincides with our own plans to establish a single, definitive name for the company— accurstely describing our true. international charac- ter and having the same meaning in Canada's two official languages.

Today we fly to a great many destinations beyond our Canadian borders. Our vast air network (now 37.000 routs miles) reaches to Britain. iraland and the major gateways of Europe . . . to the sunny islands of the Caribbean. ..to the key cities of our neighbour south of the barder.

Since its first operation m 1937, the Company has steadily grown with the nation and with the accelerated pace of international travel.
