The Budget will be brought

down on the night the House re-

opens after the Easter adjourn- ment, either on Easter Monday or on Tuesday night, it was an- nounccd yesterday in the Legis- lature by l-ion. Walter Darby. Provincial Treasurer.

The House will likely adjourn for Easter on Wednesday, it was learned from Premier Jones fol- lowing yesterday's session.

.All activity yesterday was cent- ered in the reading of bills. Two bills were read a third time and passed, ten were given u second reading and three were read a first time.

A bill to amend the Temperance Act. aimed at curtailing the sale of shaving lotion to "shakos." was read a second time. The bill was promoted by Hon. W. E. Darby and the chairman was Mr. J. Brenton st. John.

The bill provides that all per- sons. in order to sell any patent medicine, extract, essence, lotion tincture or preparation containing alcohol must be licensed.

Mr. Darby explained that it was designed to put "more teeth in the Act." It will make the sale of the preparations lnwful providing that the person has a license, but these licenses will be cancelled if the preparations are sold to addicts or if more than a certain quantity is sold.

Tire bill limits the sale of the extract to one bottle a person per

week. The content of no bottle should be more than eight ounces.

Health Act Amendment

Any person whom the Chief Health officer thinks is suffering

from active tuberculosis can be compelled to undergo a medical examination according to an

amendment to the Public Health Act which was given second read- ing yesterday. The bill was moved into committee by Hon. A.. W. Matheson, Minister of Health and Welfare, and with Mr. John Mac- Lcnn in the chair.

Previously such an examination was not compulsory. Hon. Dr. MacMlllan pointed out that the amendment was ecessaryi if tub- erculosis were to be stamped out of the Province, and Premier Jones recounted how two people and one cow on his farm in 1942 were subjected to the germ as a result of being in contact with a person suffering from the disease

Under the bill a tubercular per-

"Becausc our hospitals are over- Cmwded. th e who penfcrm the lmlloriant w of administering to illnesses of others find that the demand made upon their services always seems to exceed the time available." stated Mr. N. D. Mac- Leiln. Chairman of the Prince Ed- ward island Hospital Board. as he addressed the Rotary Club at their mzular meeting at the chu- lottetown Hotel yesterday.

He cmrplhasized that doctors and nurses simply have more to do than should be required of them and'are forced to work under,the strain of trying to do a bigger and better Job than they should be expected to do in ithc time they have available.

Mr. MacLean told the meeting the main function of the hospital in thelpast had been that of treating patients, but that a present View is being taken with the realization that on-2.0! the chief purposes or the medical profession is flniing out what is wrong with a patient. "l'hc knowledge and ability to give successful treatment is not enough in iiscli'." he said.

Referring to the history of the P-53: Hospital. the speaker told of ,a meeting in the Y.M.C.A. in August. was. at which a commit- tee was appointed to solicit funds for a hospital, and the sum of 34,- 067.80 raised. A house was bought from Mrs. H. Haszard on St. Pei- cr's Road for 52,800 and the i0i".lHi opening of the hospital took place on January 28th, i884. On April 17. 1884. i-he act of incorporation mas passed by the local Leglslg.

COSTLY SAMARITANS -. Com- plaint that exorbitant chorges are made by "good Samaritans" for as- sisting motorisis on the highways was voiced yesterday by Mr. Lee Brogan, of the Lowell Police Force. Lowell. Mass. He states that due to the condition of the clay road in the vicinity of Kensingtcn. many motorists find themselves in dif- ficulty and are being given is help- in: hand by owners. of tractors The catch. according to Mr. Brogan is that after the helping hand has done its good deed, it stretches out and asks for as much as twenty dollars in payment, especially if the vehicle-shows by its license that it is not from this Province.

The brief was read by the Fed- eration Preeident. Mr. (T lee Yeo of Lot 16. It commended the Gov- ernment for certain regulations out into effect during the year and outlined a number of the needs of the agricultural population.

The brief noted that the potato grower. in spite of productive ef- ficiency and strict attention to quality, had been operating at a loss. It urged continued support of the Marketing Board and pointed out the need for funds for promo- tion of the industry through a levy
