Wood is. Fer Figures for May

Traffic figures released yester- day for the Northumberland Ferry st-rvicefrom Wood Islands to Carl- bou. failed to prove satisfactory during the month of May according to Mr. R.E. Mutch. president of the company. A marked decline is shown in all classifications. The number of passengers carried drop- ped from 7,137 in 1955 to 5.897. autos from 2.056 to 1,327 and trucks from 762 to 648.

Due to harbour conditions at Wood Islands the "Charles A. Dun- ning was unable to operate for a period of six days. This and the mmbination of poor weather and road conditions offered a degree of discouragement to the travel- ling public.

Sponsor Show At Murray Harbour

A very enjoyable evening was spent by young and old at Savage

May 24th where the Canadian order of Foresters of Prince Island sponsored a show. Brother P. Mosher a member of the Orga- ni'1.aiion was assisted by district manager J.L. Stordy of Moncton.

Brother Stordy spoke briefly in connection with the organization and pointed out the benefits of being a member of the society and stated the fraternal part its operating in our community and country of today. 325,000 was pre- sentui to Cancer Research during the year 1954.

A generous collection was re- ceived which was handed over to the trustees. to assist in purchasing supplies for the school. Following the brogram adelicious lunch was served by the ladies of the com- munity, which brought the even- ing lo a close.

A flower leaps to life--the quiet clod has uttered music: h0iSeie88lY a tree fiings forth SPEED 50h8I beauty whispers to the listening hi-art. God spoke' and from the arid scene sprang rich and verd- ant bowers. till all the earth was soft and green. He smiled: End there were flowers.

The sweet white violet is carp- eting the small wood at the top of the garden and grape hyacinth! and the daffodils with hundreds of blue forget-me note will be lovely for weeks when the beech leaves come with their tender green plea- ted beauty.

The breath of the oodland spir- it has blown out the bubble of spring. and to his tenuous glory. the birdsong lifts the heart. No- where do the birds aing so joy- nusly as in a sunlit wood'. It is a benediction to listen awhile in the busy day.

Now the lengthening twilighis hold tints of lavender and gold. and the marshy places ring with the pipers of the spring. Turn thine eyes to earth and heaven. God for thee the spring has given: taught the birds their melodia. clothed the earth and cleared the skies. For thy pleasure or thy food -pour thy soul in gratitude!

It is so good to be able to gard- on these days! There are some who have been laid aside from gardening .for the first time. it is difficult to look out the window and wish to be outdoors digging in the il00d earth and making a good garden as in other years.

On a trip to Town it was pleas- ant to see how many were busy in their gardens. . .e man and his woman were making a raised bed around a nice birch tree. others were busy raking and seeding a new lawn. in . iother garden I saw walks being laid, and everywhere there were signs of the spring- lime. Lawnmowers were carried in the back trunks of cars and little girls carried bunches of dan- deiions in a golden heap to their gratefu' Mothrs we hope.

Birds sing all day on earth among the flowers. taking no thought of any other thing but their own hearts. for out of them they sing. We can learn lessons from these beautiful small birds. What happy hearts those feathered mortals have. that sing so sweet when they're wet through in spring For in this month of May when leaves are young. birds dream of song and in their sleep they sing. Quavcring from the brim of dawn. and bold with song at edge of night. they clutch their leafy pin- nacles and sing; scornful of man. and from his toils aloof. in an English garden magazine I have been reading about the flower show of the Cornwall Spring
