The Job is being supervised foi the Kenny Construction C0lnpRll_\ by Mr. Comeau. with William Mor- ris as foreman, both of whom are well pleased with the progress made and the work done by local men on construction.

Racoons Are On increase In P.E.l.

That the raccoon population of the island is increasing is the opinion of officials of the Depart- ment of Industry and Natural Re- sources. Up to the time the bounty paid on them was discontinued there had been over 1,500 brought in.

Wild foxes are also reported plentiful in all sections of the Is- land and it is believed that the presence of so many raccoons and foxes is responsible for the scarcity of ‘ rabbits. The population has zone down considerably and few are to be seen even in the areas where they once were plentiful,

When paying the bounty it was only necessary to bring in the shout of raccoons and skunks. but with foxes the entire pelt was necessary. This enabled the agency to pierce the ears before returning the skin to the trapper. This avoided the possibility of duplicate payments.

In Kings county the Murray Harbor fishermen are having a good season with their inshore boots, but the boats going to deep water are not being so succeuiul. There is no way of comparing this year with last year as the heavy storms in the spring of 1958 des- troyed nearly all the gear and it could not be replaced before the end of the season.

City Short 38 Al Yesterday's Blood Clinic

221 of the 262 donors registered at the Red Cross blood donor clinics held in Heartz Memorial and Trin- ity soclal Hall yesterday afternoon and evening were from Charlotte- town, and the remaining 41 from the surrounding districts including Hunter River, Brookileld, York, Mermaid. Dunstaffnage, New Dom- lnion, Murray Harbor, New Wilt» shire, North River, Earnscllffe, Pownal, Winsloe, Milton, New Glasgow, New Haven. Borden, Mill- view, Harrington. Rustico. Long Creek, Marshfield, Mt. Stewart, Nine Mile Creek, Covehead Road, Sourls. Georgetown, Rocky Point. and Kensington. At least 338 don- ors will be required today to make up Oharlottetown's quote of 600 donors.

Many Charlottetown firms co-op- erated wholeheartedly with the ap- pea] for donors by allowing their employees time off to attend, and R. T. Holmcn Ltd. led me way with in members of the staff registering as donors. In spite of this, only 17% of the donors reporting yutcrday were "new" onm.

The spacious ecoommodation provided by Heart: Memorial end the Trinity Social Hall which were both used, was ideal and at no time was there anyone kept waiting for more than five minutes.

At the afternoon clinic the King's Daughters provided the re- freshments and workers while in the evening representatives of the Junior Women's Association of Trinity Church supplied‘ both of these, with extra. workers being provided from the High school Junior Red Cross at West Kent School.

All who possibly cm are urged to attend today's clinics which will continue in Heart: Memorial Hall and at which there must be an at- tendance of 338 in order that Char- lottetown may reach its quota of 600.

Dearest daughter you have left us here on earth to mourn for you. Peacefully sleeping resting gt 1”: free from all sorrow and trials of life, in silence you suffered and murmured not. God knew that you were weary, the path too hard to tread. The joys you have missed here on earth you will gain in Heaven above. that day sitting by my window, to see you coming home. as you g1. ways did to cheer us on our way. You did come but, "Oh, the sad home—comlng. Lying in a deep re. pose you did not know you were home and whispered no farewell to any of your friends.

Often my thoughts wander to your grave not far sway where I hIV¢ Rona dear daushter to shed tears at your grave side. The blot» was hard,the shook severe, to part with you so suddenly.

God has you in His keeping. We have you in our hearts. A few short years of trials past, we reach the happy shore. when death‘: divided friends at last shall meet to part no more.
