"To function satisfactorily an administration needs the support of the citizens in addition to a good executive,” Mayor Ed- win C. Johnstone stated last night. The Mayor was speaking to a gen- eral meeting of the Board of Trade held at the Charlottetown Hotel at which he. and members of ‘the new Council were special guests.

“We don’t consider that we have all the answers and are quite prepared to look to this Board or any‘ other organization for assistance,” the Mayor said.

The Mayor was introduced by the president of the local Board, Earl Taylor, who also introduced Walt Wheeler, president of the Junior Board, and Mr. Wendell Mutch, president of the P. E. I. Innkeepers Association.

‘-EXPRESSES APPRECIATION I

The Board president expressed the appfeclation of the organiz- ation to Dr. Frank MacKinnon, president of APEC, and Mr.. Henry Mcwilliams, vice-presi- dent of the Junior Board.

Dr. MacKinnon did a “terrific job” , for ‘the. Maritimes during his recent visit. to Toronto and Montreal, the Board of Trade president said, while Mr. McWil- liams he said had made a great success of the “Get Out The Vote” campaign conducted in connection with» the recent civic election.

As a special feature of the Board’s “Civic Affairs Night”, civic committee chairmen pre- sent outlined the various pro- jects that their committees ex-

While expressing congratula- .tions to the successful; candidates in the recent civic election, Board member, Lt.-Col. Frank J. Storey also paid tribute to all who nominated. The “high char- acter” of the civic election was shown by the fact that in addit- ion to a majoralty contest, there ~~ was also a contest in each ward, he said. » ‘
