The Gillian Bridge. iipanning the Kildare River near Alberton, was considerably damaged in Tuesday's severe storm, the cen- tre section of the bridge between the two waterways being com- pletely flooded by the highest tide in many years. The most dam- age was caused to the flooded section with one hundred yards of railing down on the north side and most of the roadway wash- ed away.

The brldge. which is two-thirds of a mile long. was in the pro- cess of repair and a new water- way at the west and completed only a few days ago and the other waterway closed off com- pletely. No damage was done to the. new work and trucks were busily engaged yesterday hauling rock to repair the storm damage.

The bridge was 'not passable yes- ierday morning but traffic was resumed last night.

it is possible repairs will not he completed until spring. as large quantities of rock will be required to replace that washed away. The damaged area extends over some 300 to 400 VH5!-

Mrs. Alfred Pineau and her five children re- mained with her sister but ex- pected to get back into her own home today. The crashing tides sent two feet of water swirling over the lower floor of her house and forced evacuation.

Yesterday. although the water had receded. it was found that freezing weather had buckled the floors and their heaving had left the oil-cloth broken and torn. Th other families who had mov- ed out had done so as a precau- tionary measure as reports state there was no water in their houses. They all returned yester- day

While fees for registration of passenger cars remain unchanged. the whole basis of truck registra- tion in Prince Edward Island has been altered under provisions of the Highway Traffic Act, 1950-. The new regulations, now pub- llshed in the Royal Gazette. be- come effective on Jun. 1, 1952.

since 1950 truck registration fees have depended upon un- laden weight. and on whether the body was stake or hoist type. with permissable load dependent on the wheel-base. it then cost no more to register for the maximum per- misslble load. This has been chang- ed to a gross weight basis, still with a limit for each type of

truck but permitting owners to register for less than the permis- sible load and pay a correspond- ingly lower fee.

(As an example of type limit, the gross weight allowed with a 156-inch wheel-base is 17,200

. pounds).

Agreement with the proposal to change the present set-up of the Federation of Agriculture was reached yesterday at the County Annual Meeting held in the Legion Hall. Approximately 100 members or the Queens County Federation were present with Mrs. Allison MacMillan. Fairview. vice president presiding in the absence of pres- ident Mr. Earl Ings.

The long debates on practically every point brought up.for discus.- slon delayed adjournment until nearly midnight.

In the latter case it was fin- ally decided by resolution that the Leglslature be urged to revise the Election Act at the coming session and that the Government be ask- ed to appoint a non-partisan com- mittee presided over by a justice of the supreme Court to review the Act and advise on changes.

with an embargo on Russian and Chinese furs. there ahouldubo a great deal more attention paid to wild furs of American and Can- adian origin. also Silver Fox. That this is likely to happen is indicat- ed in the following from Women's wear Daily, New York, which men- tions the popularity of small pieces .. .. In discussing specific fur fashion, Miss sissman says that the popularity of small pieces is indicative of the type of furs that women want. "They want a new look. cost less, and are easier to wear with the new silhouettes.” she says. This designer has always liked small pieces and has done some important design ideas in this category in the past. Now she 1: working on some small pieces for holiday and spring. She is par- ticularly interested in the Spencer idea. and her new styles will in- clude some combinations and var- iations of the Spencer line. Fox is an item that interests Miss iss- man. who believes it "should be handled like mink." In connection with fox, which recently made a revival in fur fashion, she believes that a lot. of other furs can be brought back and used in new ways. "We are going to have to try to utilize these other moder- ate price furs because of the econ- omic situation today," she says.
