HOSPITALS AND CLINIC!

Charlottetown is not surpassed by any city its size in having for ths care of its sick hospital ae- commodation:-

The Prince Edward Island Hos- pital, the Charlottetown Hospital. the Provincial Sanatorium and Fnlconwood Hospital are as mod- em and as up-todate as can be found anywhere. The present day structures, the latest equipment and facilities are no better than the doctors who have access to them; their ability is s ognized all over Canada and the United states. Many times they are cal- led to the larger centres for con-

sultation. Charlattetonisna who have

graduated as doctors cal be found in many leading clinics .:.roughout the Continent. Then too. we have the Polyclinic. the Charlottetown Clinic, and the Provincial Health Centre carrying on the humane task of caring for our sick and in- digent.

EDUCATION

In Charlottetown too, is situat- edthea xofths ” " ' pyramid. rince of Wales College. Other schools within the limits are Queen Charlotte High. Queen Square Public. West Kent Public. St. Joseph's Public. Prince Street Public. Notre Dame Private.

SPORT!

The East end of our city. loo. where is situated our Exhibition Ground and Race Track. has its at- tractions chiefly for the sports-

en. Sitting on the Grand Stand either in daylight or under the flood lights at night. when night racing is in progress on our beautifully lighted track overlook- ing the Easi River, we know we are absolutely correct in saying Charlottetown is truly the "Ken- tucky" of Canada. Not only is this plant one of the best. but here also are to be seen some of the finest horses on the continent. many competing in the racing having been purchased from the Grand Circuit. We might add too. that many of our Island-bred horses are finding their way to the Grand Circuit, showing that improved breeding from imported stock is producing results.

YACHT CLUB I

Iv

On our waterfront is'situaied the Charlottetown Yavht Club. open to citizens who wish to follow this aquatic sport. Throughout the sea- son Regattas. Club racing. Motor boat cruising. Out-board and Speed boat racing - followed by dancing in the evening. tend towards a delightful summer. Many enjoy- able dances are held in the Club House during the season and they are becoming more popular each year.

Just beyond the Race Track is the Belvedere Golf Course owned by Charlottetown citizens, and ac- claimed by visitors as a delight- ful spot which has a little of ev- ery essential to satisfy the golfer. Our Rifle Range is situated some four miles to the south of the City at the foot of Tea Hill.

in summer nothing could be more enjoyable than a visit to our Dominion Experimental Farm. situated in close proximity to our City.

BUSINESS SECTION

In keeping with the rest, of our city is the business section. Here are found stores as modern in appearance and in merchandise as can he found anywhere in Can- ada - any commodity that can be purchased in any of the big shopping centres such as Mon- treal and Toronto. can be obtained over the counters of our local

furniture and utensils are as avail- able to our citizens right here as if purchased in the places where they were manufactured: this in itself is a criterion of their abil- ity n.- salesmen and purcha'sing authorities. and we feel justly proud of our businessmen's Asso- cistion.

While we are proud of our retailers we must also remember our wholesalers. for the whole sale esinltlisiimenls in our city arc oi the highest standard. Reli- able firms enjoy business in not only Prince Edward Is- land - but in the Maritimes. Magdalen islands and Newfound- land as well. This alsoiis criter- ion of the fair and sound dealings of these different firms.

HER MA.lESTY'S FORCES

While Charlottetown has her own airport. the Royal Canadian Air Force domicile: at St. Eleanor's. situated on the western side of Summerside.

At the Charlottetown Airport is located the Maritime Central Air- ways. passengers nnd freight serv- ice being carried on most ex- tensively.

In Dance Halls - the Rollaway. which also has one of the most modern bowling alleys east of Montreal. the Holy Name. which also has a Bowling Alley. the Y. M.

CONTRACT BRIDGE

In many cases, of course. this is not neces- sary - you can see your right course at a glance - but . the point is. if you "go into a huddle" on some bands and don't on others. the opponents will inevitably know when you have a problem. And. knowing. they will naturally be on their guard.
