/ Opposition Leader Tackles Law, Party Reorganization

Back from a two month holiday following a gruelling election campaign, A. W. Matheson QC, this week takes on a new role —that of Opposition Leader an: lawyer.

_In his spacious office on Rich- Mond Street, formerly the site

of the Patriot Publishing Com- |

pany, he will direct the affairs of the’ provincial Liberal party and return to the ness of a private law practice.

True, his work will be less strenuous than the duties im- posed upon him as premier. of the province for the last’ six years but it would appear that the rangy six foot six legal ex- pert has little intention of relax- ing. ; e

Speaking of his party, Mr. Matheson said, “We intend to eompletely reorganize and in this we take fpll advantage of our experienced members while mak- ing every attempt to get as many young men in the field. as possible. We have been particul- | arly fortunate in getting g large number of younger men to .offer

The Young Liberal Association and the Liberal Women’s organ- izations while being separate units unto themselves will work in close liason with the parent body in order to eliminate ‘any overlapping of activities, Mr. Matheson stated. ;

A 19-year veteran of the Legis- lature with 11 years experience in the government, the ex-pre- mier said he was looking for- ward to the next session of the legislature.

“Our party is prepared to work in close co-operation with the government for. any measures that are for the good of the pro- vince as a whole, at the same time keeping a watchful eye on

all government departments,” the Opposition Leader declared. Speaking of his recent trip

which him across Canada and into\the Pacifie States of the U.S.A.,. Matheson said he

had an opportunity to compare progress of the rural areas with that of a trip made six years pfe- vious.

“In all my travels, I did not see greater evidence of progress in the rural areas than in our own province of Prince Edward Is- land.” ‘ a ~ “In the State of Washington I saw food processing plants sim- ilar to the one which we have at Sherwood and I am convinced more than ever that there is a great future in this phase of agri- culture for Prince Edward Is- land’’, he concluded.

City Minister Receives Gift

A Charlottetown Pentecostal minister Quincy R. Stairs has confirmed that he is the un- expected recipient of an inheri- tance from a Crapaud widow, but said it would be nowhere near the large amount that has been rumored.

An earlier report said he would be inheriting some $40,000.

|

Mr. Stairs said there is no way of knowing how much the inheritance will be. ‘Tf, know

there is something coming, but! nothing like that amount.”’

He said it will be six. months before the amount is divulged.

The inheritance was bequeath- ed Mr. Stairs by Mrs. Donald} MacFayden. Mrs. MacFayden’s| husband, predeceased her about! five or six years agé. He was a prominent fox rancher and’ was oné of the largest potato growers ip: this province. He livedyat .Aug- ustine Cove. t

The accused was specifically charged with having reported the commission of an offence, the theft. of a truck, to the RCMP, when the offence had not been committed. ;

The previously adjourned case of a resident of Charlottetown, who is charged with driving while intoxicated was continued yesterday morning.

At the start of the proceedings the magistrate said that he had considered the application by de- fence counsel, Allison Gillis, re- garding the striking from evid- ence the statement_taken from the. gccused by the police, but under the circumstance he could do nothing but' deny the applica- tion. :

After the evidence of the. final crown witness was heard along with .that of one defence witness, the case was further adjourned until Friday, Nov. 13, after it was revealed’ that one witness for the defence was out of the province.

“Vigorous action is being taken by this department to halt traffic offences and we are particularly concentrating on’ speeders,’’ at- torney general R: R. Bell, Q.C., said yesterday in reference to a report revealing there have been 19 jyaffic deaths in the province this year. :

“There have been many com- plaints of gravel trucks travelling at high rates of speed and I have issued orders to the RCMP. to crash down on all offenders. As a result we have taken action against a great number of them,” the attorney general added.

He believes too many of the fatal accidents are the result of speeding and: said every effort will be made now and in the fu- ture to curb ‘this dangerous habit.’

Mr. Bell also said his depart- ment is making a survey to in- vestigate the erection of more stop signs at dangerous _inter- sections. “‘We are doing this as part of our policy to take every possible measure to prevent: ac- cidents wherever possible,” he stated. ate

NOT HAPPY

Commenting on the same ques- tion, Inspector A. S. MéNeill, of- ficer commanding RCMP L Di- vision here said “we're certain- ly not happy. about the situation and certainly not complacent.”

Inspector McNeil suggested that public co-operation was the best method ef preventing waffic ac-

cidents. **We have already start- ed an educational campaign to this effect,’’ he said.

According to Inspector McNeil, the RCMP will suggest to service station operators that they close- ly check all autos at their service stations and bring notice of any defective part in the car to the attention of the owner.

“Our highway patrols are con- stantly on the, alert and any im- provements that we can suggest to insure the safe flow of traf- fic are passed on to the proper government departments,"’ said Insp r McNeil. “I might add that thégovernment departments concerned with our safety sug- gestions have been very ¢o-op- erative.”’ KEY WORDS

“The key words of accident prevention are efficiency, edu- cation and enforcement,” In- spector McNeil stated. ‘Efficient, safe automobiles driven by mo- torists who are educated in -safe driving practices coupled with the enforcement of our traffic regulations make it safer for ev- eryone to travel.”

In conclusion, Inspector Mc- Neil said, “I can't emphasize too strongly the slogans that are 6o common such as “Slow Down and Live.” You certainly have to drive defensively.”
