Resources Division lo Be Strengthened

By DON Mac].-EOD

Following Friday's meeting of the cabinet. Premier Walter R. Shaw. in announcing the ap- pointment of marketing direct- or Reid Sangster. to the post of temporary director of re- search. said that it is intended to seek a replacement for Mrs. Audrey Veniot to further aug- ment the staff.

In addition, the over - all de- velopment council. which consis- ted of about 40 members.. will be reorganized and develop- ment councils set up in e a c h

l county. Premier Shaw said “this

will work much more satisfac- torily than the previous organ- ization, which was too cumber- some."

FIELD WORK

Premier Shaw said Mr. Sang- ster will work “chiefly in th e field," keeping in close con- tact with the cabinet committee on development. The cabinet committee will hold regular meetings. possibly, monthly. with Mr. Sangster and the dep- uty ministers of the depart- ments involved to review pro- gress of development projects undertaken.

Premier Shaw said "the ad-

vance of the development pro- 9

gram is predicated on more comprehensive k n o wledge of developments in the field, an d also the contacts with vari o u s

Premier. Shaw said he feels "our relations with the federal government may be more satis- factory in the future. as the fed- eral government has indicated it will consult with the provinces before decisions affecting the provinces are made. I pressed strongly for this principle when I was in Ottawa recently."

GIVES REASSURANCE

Again referring to the provin~ 1952

cial development program. Pre- mier Shaw said “I would like to assure groups who have already organized themselves. and who are anxiously‘ awaiting word on suggested projects ‘ for their areas. that delays in the pro- jects are occasioned by the de- lay in getting federal approval.

“Also. I would like to indicate that the whole resources move- ment. as I originally outlined it, is not dependent on what gov- ernments can do, but chiefly on what people are able to do for

themselves. I still follow th at '

principle and the government will assist people who xious to a s s i I t themselves. Where people are not able to de velop a particular program

alone. then the government steps ~

in and both go forward togeth- r." Mr. Sangster has already indi-

cated that this is the principle‘ he will follow as research direc- '

tor.

"The cabinet committee feels that these changes will a l lo w the development program to work more satisfactorily tha I: previously."

According to the premier. his government is "con c e r ned" with its associations with ARDA and other departments of the federal government. whose poi- icies fit into the development program.

SOME TARDINESS

“There is some tardiness," he Hid. "on the part of ARDA in giving a definite decision o a about 20 projects we have sub- mitted for approval. particular- ly those which deal directly with rural development.

"We expect to confer with an official of ARDA here later this month on the matter. and I have made representation to feder agriculture minister Hays, ask- ing that prompt action be taken

Johnson to have the opening poem.

In a message issued Saturday the fire prevention bureau of Charlottetown urged all citizens to observe a "ii-re-safe" Christ- mas.

The bureau lists a few simple rules that should be followed in regard to the use of trees and decorations generally in the home.

Pick a tree that is fresh, one that has firm, green needles and have it no bigger than you need. the bureau advises. The larger the tree, the greater the fire hazard. Stand the tree in water while it is in the house an it check the water daily. Support the tree firmly and keep it away from sources of heat. Do not locate it where it in ay block an escape route from the house. Keep tree in the house for the shortest time possible.

ELECTRIC HAZARD

Metal trees, the bureau states. are not a fire hazard but ma‘ be an electric shock hazard. Use only indirect lighting with them if lighting strings are placed on the tree. Otherwise it may be- come charged and dangerous. In the use of decorations, hou- seholders are urged to in a kc sure that

ey are of noncombus-I

tible materials. Untreated cotton

Plea For Fire Safety At Christmas Is Made

batting and paper ignite easily and may burn intensely. aka sure the decoration is flame

proof.

In regard to gift wrapping: it is advised to dispose of th e to promptly and safely, but do not use the fireplace.

In the decoration of the Gnost- mas tree the bureau stresses to avoid the use of wax candles as they are dangerous. Check the light sets and extension cords and all holiday lighting equip- ment for frayed wires, loose connections and broken sockets. Use only approved light I n 3 equipment. Do not overload the

ectric circuits and make surr- that no higher than a 15 Amp fuse is used. Turn off all tree and other indoor lighting equip ment before retiring or leaving the house.

The bureau strongly cautions against smoking near the tree. Have plenty of large safe ash trays around and use them.

"Above all," the message can eludes, “have a fire safety em- ergency plan. Figure alternative routes out of every room. If tire strikes, clear everybody out of the house, then call the Fire De- partment. Fight the fire only if you can do so safely, keeping an exit route open."
