Farmers Suffer From Power

' Failure Too

Not the least affected by the power fnlinic throughout the pro- vince are the farmers. Since rus- al electrification has reached the majority,of the country districts. farmers have come more and more to rely on electricity.

The electric milking machine which has up to now relieved him of many tedious hours of milking can no longer be used when the power goes off and he has iv ro- vert to hand milking which toes not take too popularly with the cows either.

Some farmers with their own water system found that they had to wend their way to the old ra- liable spring or to a neighbour with s hand pump. Even though

short illness, was held from the Cutclitfe Funeral Home on Tues- day Dec. lath. He was laid to rest in the family plot at Lower Mon- tague beside his wife and five sons. who predeceased him some years ago. Thc aeFVl(.'f! at the Funeral Home lwas vonducted by Rev. W, H. Brown pastor of Zion Presbyterian Church. of which the deccbsed was a life long membe , guinea (by Rev. 0.8. Stairs who visited (him in his illness.

The ball bearers were six grand- sons, Stephen MacDonald, Loltny MacDonald Joseph Longapbie, James Longaphie. Earl smith, Rog aid Shepard.

The late Ronald MacDonald was born in Forest Hill, P,E.l, Q YEHTS ago; but resided in Cind- ottetown for a number of you-g where he took up the trade 1 plastarlng and bricklsylng.

TAX CAPACITY

."All telephone Companies are experiencing the same thing and we are kept working hard to keep up with it. Mind you - we aren't complaining. as a matter of fact. we're quite happy about it. But I does tax our capacity at times to provide the necessary circuits to hsndio it. Microwave is pmvidim a partial answer to this problem now snd.witht.henetwo!'kII!n going to describe. will lust about lick it, .

"A second reason is that earlier this year the Canadian Boradcast- ing Corporation awarded to the Trans-Canada Telephone System a contract to carry nstwork televis- ion shows across Canada. This System was formed in 1932 by the seven major Canadian Telephona Companies to provide long dist- snceyteiephone service on a nation- wldesesle. It is coordinating the efforts of the Companies in con strncting this Trans-Canada Micro wave Network.

The basic microwave system will be the structuu over which we shall be able ti develop out-of province long distance curcuits for many. many years to come. Such a system will also permit us to bring the CBC television net- work into Prince Edward Island. "This Trans-Canada network is being completed in stages. At pro-I sent the microwaves link Toronto.

PATIITESTING

of the towers - so that there will be a clear path between them, since you can't rely on microwav- es bending round the horizon or pushlng through major obstacles. Next the land must be bought. and telephone lines run up to the sites for control and maintenance pur- poses. Then the towers are built with an equipment building at the foot of each tower. Flashy the com plex electronic equipment which will amplify the microwave sign- als is installed and tested.

"The Microwave method of Transmission is not new ot the Island Telephone Co. Ltd.. for Charlottetown was the scene of the first installation of Microwave by any of the major Canadian

The demonstration includd some of the -ehixscteristics og-micr9- waves sunbiss polarity. reflection how they travel in line of sight. and how they are effected by var- ious kinds of obstacles.

Also demonstrated was the pro- cess of scanning byla tebvdd camera and how the of the television picture is carried to the viewer's homes.

Epidemic Among Young Children

An epidemic of gsstro-intestinal upset among young cluldren of the City been reported by Dr. 0. K. Curtis, Deputy Minister of Heal- th. Private practitioners through- out the Charlottetown area have been treating many cases of the malady the cause of which has not as yet been determined.

Dr. Curtis reports that some of flu babies are very sick and si-

s good many are at home

forwarded to the Laboratory of

out the type of virus causing

the disease. At least two babies have succumbed to date.
