from the same show just be- fore the opening performance of Don «Messer and his Island- ers in Confederation Centre Theatre. The girls at back are Marilyn Boyle. Pam Foster and Mary Wile. The little one
on Charhe's knee is already almost a veteran trouper, and. her name is Karen Hamish. The CBC-produced show runs seven more times this week before closing on Saturday.
Familiar Dances, Music Mark Messer Show Here
Shure and begorra. it was the down east music of that High- land Irish laddie. Don Messer and his Islanders. playing at the Confederation Centre Theatre last night.
And shure, too, it was just like a homecoming, and y’all .z-ome an see us now and then. That's what both Don and the management are hoping after having a less than capacity audience for the opening night. Theatre officials voiced disap- pointment over the fairly small house. even though that fairlv small house voiced great en- thusiasm over the performing of what has been called the Island's most renowned export.
rg Osborne. Charlie Chamberlain and the rest of Don's gang were truly well- received as they put on a two- hour show of music, clowning. and dancing for the Islanders whence comes the name of the 31'0"!)
OLD SONGS FAVORITES
It would seem that the old songs still strike responsive chords in the hearts of people all across Canada. A large portion of present Islanders have roots deep in the old Scot- tish and h traditions. and for them there seemed to be an even greater closeness.
The group. with Don Messer himslf as band leader. got its start years ago in local radio. and from that time has grown to be one of the most popular on television (Don

Lobster Season Opens In West With Rough Sea
SUMMERSIDE — Rough seas and winds of 20 miles an hour faced fishermen from North Cape to Victoria yesterday as they set their traps marking the opening of the lobster sea- son here.
There are some 20 boats fishing out of the Summersidc area and in the vicinity of 70 boats are fishing out of Egmont Bay. Approximately 20 hoax from Borden set over 4.000 traps yesterday.
The rough weather prevented some of the smaller boats from leaving their harbors. but most of the fishermen got their traps set. It is not yet known what the catch will be like.
Last night the forecaster at RCAF station Summerside said that the weather over North- umberland Strait should be very good today with light winds and a lot of sun.
WEilERN BRIEFS
tremendous response from the audience.
Marg Osborne, “the beautiful personality with a voice to
c n match," sang several ballads
both modern and traditional. One old gentleman with ob- viously proud Scottish blood, was seen hardly able to keep the tears back when she sang the old song about the Scottish Soldier. And she varied the pacahvith‘ such‘ well-known folk songs as Cottonflelds and oth- ers. to receive one of the big- gest hands of the night.
Then there were the Buchta dancers, with their ‘swinging' square dances brought up to date. The two littlest dancers in the troupe. Donald Meighan and Karen Hamish, put on a show of a wide selection of dances from calypso to the venerable Charleston. and got great praise from the audience for proving that kids can some- times do what adults do, and just as well.
NEVE
To round out the evening there were a number of select- ions by various members of the orchestra, all of which proved popular.
The show is based on the television program featuring the same group. and it will reportedly (how can they help it) never be the same two nights in a row. Everyone in the audience was urged by the master of ceremonies to tell their friends to come, and to come again, themselves. And théstre officials too would like more people to turn out for this Don Messer "homecoming."
Y’all come?

The department of agricul- ture has received a report that army worms have been found in grain fields in the Alberton
area.
Agriculture Minister Andrew MacRae said e growers should “keep a close eye on their grain" as army worm infestations are pretty well scattered through the pro- vmce.

The department recom- mends that a solution of water and Malsthion be sprayed on infected iiields.

COUNCIL’S
(Continued drom page i) lengthy and sometimes heated discussion.
The council. red-faced over a traffic. survey done here sever- al years ago by a man named Monell seemed reluctant to put
its stamp of approval on the proposed survey, although ' was ed the provincial government was willing to pay half the cost.
Monell‘s job was termed by the mayor "a fizzle from start to finish” . . . "a very sorry experience".
In submitting the proposal for the traffic study, Coun. Mac. Rae pointed out that the motor vehicle registration for the province had doubled in the past 14 years, there is need for a truck bypass of the city. and
ere are “rumons that the railway is going to go."
He suggested the project as a possible “project for 1967".
Coun. John P. Nicholson dis- agreed with the idea "flatly and emphatically", he said.

Lobster Gear Vandalism Is Reported
ALBERTON — The opening of the lobster season yesterday morning meant vandalism at such points as Brae Harbor. Skinners Pond. and Campbell- ton with trap lieads slashed and‘ a boat sunk at her moorings.
The heads of close to a 1,000 traps were slashed at Brae Harbor and it was reported four boats were set adrift and al- lowed to go ashore.
At Campbellton. a boat own- ed by Alberton fisherman Wil- liam Gionet was badly damag- ed when she sank at her moor- ings and later drifted onto roc s.
It is believed the incidents are direct results of the large number of Alberton and Tig- nish fishermen who moved their gear and boats to the west side to fish the fall sea- on

Coun. MacNeill said only major points in the report been ignored. Monell had sug- gested Euston Street be made one-way, and had designated as parking lots areas in the centre
blocks so hemmed In “the entrances were not big enough to get cars through."

“If we do get more aircraft
for the local plant it will be because he (Drury) does not want to see the economy of the district affected." Coun. Gillis commented.
He reported that Drury had granted them a two-hour hear- ing and discussed the problems thoroughly.
"We were told there's a half a million a year payroll from this plant. We had been in the belief that Enamel and Heat- ing had lost all its defence con- tracts. That‘s not so," he re- ported. as he told Council the only reason En-I-leat had come to Charlottetown was because it needed a long enough
way to accommodate the air- craft it repaired.
Mr. Gillis explained that it would be difficult for the plant here to switch to repair- ing a different type of aircraft.
Each individual aircraft re- quires different types of ma- chinery and checking devices. These plants look to the gov- ernment to supply these they're very expensive," he sad.
He concluded by suggesting that the Council suggest to En- l-Ieat that any defence contracts .given them as a result of the Ottawa meetings by the coun- cillors and government ficials be fulfilled at the Char- lottetown plant.

“Perhaps even Makarlos is concerned about that," he said.
Mr. 'Pearson said it was al- most impossible to believe a small island in the Mediterra- nean, a sister nation of the Commonwealth, should be the occasion of a third world war.
The United Nations was the only organization that cool prevent this taking place. He was not suggesting the present conflict would lead to another war but said “an escalation of events may bring that about."
LITTLE AUTHORITY
Mr. Pearson said he agrees the UN peacekeeping force does not have the authority "we would all like to see it have."
The present force was formed with the agreement of the Cy- prus government as the next best method.
“You can't get away from that unless you want to shoot your way to peace." be said.

Mr. Martin said in reply the UN force could go into Cyprus last March only on conditions laid down the Makarios government. In part. that ac- counted for some of the limita- tionsontheUNforceatprea- out.
