Financially Justified

After the ahnouncement, Mr. .'.luc..ai.'ght told The Guardian he A35 convinced that financial re- :ulLs would easily judtify a double terry service during the tourist peascn in future years.

liizporlunt as it is, Mr. Mac- Mlllgnt said. the tourist business is not the only reason for aidouble lorry service. The shuttle service would be of paramount importance to growers iind shippers of perish- not-s farm products and the gen- crai export business of the Island. The elimination of ferry delays xiould be highly valuable in the hlllldllng of such products as ber- ries and fish.

Gives Reporton Queen's County iiiuide Activities

I Miss Iiphlgenle Arsenault, Div- lsion Commissioner of the Girl Guides for Queen's County at Wednesday's annual xneotln, of the Association reported as fol- lows:- .

I It is pleasing to be able to re- port an increase in the member- ship of the Guide family in Queen's County during 190. There are now me Brownies, no Guides. 9 Tawny Owls. 10 Brown Owls. ll Lieutenants and la captain; in this County. New Companies have been formed at Marshfield and East Royalty and I understand we are soon to have a new Brownie Pack at. southport and a Guide Company at Winsloe. Active Com- panies continutd to function at North ltustica, Southport, Cent- ral Iiioyalty-wbers there is also a Brownie Pack-at the two Or- phanases. and in Charlottetown- a total of in Guide Companies and

6 Brownie Packs. While I have done my best to visit the Com- panies and Parks in rural Queens

county, it is to Mrs Prod Jen- kins, our Field secretary, that these groups are indebted for her ,uxltiring efforts in promoting and sustaining interest.

endeared themselves to all. We very much regret that they are both retiring from their present offices, but look forward to fur- ther associations with them in different capacities.

We are indeid most grateful to all our Guiders who carry on at great sacrifice to themselves, but

who do so with a good deal of sat- isfnctlon because. they realize that they are helping our growing girls to become better citizens. Need- less to say we can still use a great many more Guiders. I hope that all Guiders in Queen's County will

be warranted by next year's an- nual Mecflnz. I would like to mention the

valuable assistance the Supervis- art; of Women's. Institutes have rendered to some of our rural Companies in Queens County by giving the Guides courses in cook- ing and sewing which lead to ,t.he awarding of the Need1ewom- an's and Cook's Badges, We are equally appreciative of this type of service given by the different .peoplc who give courses and tests of many kinds to our Guid- ,es. It is only by this type. of co- loperation that the Guide pro- gramme can be carried out. i All Companies and Packs took part in the different activities sponsored by the Guide move- ment,--the big event. of onus is. was the visit of our Chief Com- missioner, Mrs. Wlshart.

This report would not be com- the outstanding services rendered by our retiring Provincial Commiss- ioner, Mrs. Gordon MacDonald, who has been an inspiration to all of us throughout her term of office.

Mickey Coclr-rane Says it's Great To Be Back

By JOE IVES

WASHINGTON, April 19 -- (All) - Mickey Cochrane, the guy they thought was going to die in 1947, said today "it's great. to be IIICK in the majors" after an 11-year absence.

The 47-year-old baseball hall-uf- tame star made his official debut. as coach of the Philadelphia Ath- ietics on opening day, when the A's lost to Washington 8-7.

when he stepped into the batting cage for practice Tuesday, it was the first time since I937 that Mick- ey had been behind the plate in a big-league park. It was in '3'! that a near-fatal bean ball thrown by New York Yankee hurler "Bumps" Hadley ended Cochrane's brilliant playing career. In the meantime he'd been a rancher in Montanr. and a navy officer during the war

so eager is Cochrane, fiery form- er manager of the Detroit Tigers to be back in baseball's big time that he is catching batting prac- tice daily of his Irwn accord.

"Does Mickey always catch bat- ting practice" Mack was asked.

"He isn't asked to do it." raplytl Mack, "but he seems to like it. Until this spring I don't think he has caught batting practice since he was a rookie .- 25 years ago."

Cocbrane's major-league career began in 1926 with the A's. He was one of the game's brightest st.i.rs through 1933 when he was sent to the Tigers. He stayed with Detroit from 14 to '37 as manager. l-its Detroit clubs won two American League titles and the world Series in 1W5. In those 13 playing years, Mickey compiled an Imposing .320 lifetime batting average.

Urges Canadian Crusade To Preserve ireedom

MONTREAL. April 20 -(GP) - Henry G. Birks. past president of the Canadian Chamber of Com- merce, tonight called upon Can- adians themselves to adopt. a crusading spirit in preserving the freedom that is theirs.

In a prepared address before the Chartered Institute of secret- aries (Canadian branch), Mr. Birks said indifference and apathy can lead "only to the withering away of the vitality. initiative and en- terprise upon which our freedom and our future depend."

Canada's freedom is threatened

by Communism and socialism, said Mr. Bil-ks. but a basic threat "lies in the fact that colloctivism will creep in upon us without our being aware that any change is taking place." This process can be seen help- periing now. said Mr. Blrks. It used to be believed that it. was the lrrdividuars responsibility to pro- vide for his future through thrift and industry. Now there has oc- curred 1 feeling of dependence upon government, for rewards. and government must. take a. growing proportion 11 the lndividus.l's e

"Today, more and more. the in- dividual seeks security, not as I by-product of his e t. but as an end in itself. Comp scency on the one hand and defeatlsm on the other are the enemies of our way of life and Inuit be destroyed ” There is danger "in the lack of realization that through govern- mental spending and taxes a nat- ion loosens its grasp of the free competitive enterprise system and slides down the slippery slopes which lead to the purgatory of stateisin.”

"The greater the proportion of the Indlvidus.l's share of product- ion which is turned over to the government. the greater grows the power of govmment to control the lives of its citizens. The more you ask government to do for you, the greater oipportslnlty you give government to do Nil-"'

The Prince Edward Island Blieoli Breeders Association are urging the Dominion Government to estlibllah a flock of North Country Cheviots at the Experi- mental station, it was disclosed yesterday following a meeting of the Association's directors in the agricultural building.

Communication is being carried out with the aut.horitJes over this matter and it appears that lack of building facilities is the chief stumbling block. some breeders are of the opinion that this can be overcome as they state t t no extemlve building sition would be necessary to house the Chevlots.

If this Dfowsltlon becomes a reality the Association hope to im- port a. number of North Country ewes for sale to breeders here. The Association will probably import the ewes provided that any other Canadian organization astaiblishes a. flock of North Country chevlots.

Sheep breeders believe that the outlook for the wool and meat miuket is good. The industry has declined during the past. few years so that last season a ready market existed for the products.
