Islanders _ I Have Met

‘Islander Abroad’

WINNIIPDG, Man...» (beds!)- Thia afternoon. though the wind was cold. audit had dropped to l0 degrees below aero, I called on

the MacDonald family at 64 Mary-

land St. I had heard a great. deal

about the family, but previous t0

my visit, had not made their ao-

quaintance.

Mrs. MacDonald. a gracious hdy

of pleasing personality’. answered

the door, when I called, and when

I Mild. “My name ls—, I am from

P.E.I.", 1 received the answer. "Welcome to the home." "Dad", she called. "Here ia a man from

the Island." He came from the room and bade me ivelcome. and

the reception was so u-arm and

genuine. that. at once I felt I was

not among strangers-but friends with something in common-PEI. The conversation was immed- lately about P.E.I. Many questions

were asked ‘and much information

was exchanged. One question, I

took particular note of-“Do you

know Willie MadMlillan-Dr. W.

J. P. MaoMillan, leader of His Ma.-

leaty’: Loyal Opposition?" “Aye", thought I. "these people are Con-- servatlvea."

I met. in the home. a. daughter-

ln-law, from Pcnticton, B. 0., who

ia holidaying with the MacDonald

family.

Mrs. MacDonald and her daugh-

ter-in-law, having an afternoon

date, departed shortly after I

arrived, leaving me with Mr. Mu:-

Donald. with whom 1 spent a most

interesting visit. Mn. MacDonald,

in bidding good-bye said, “Do

come again. We have just got.

started to talk. There is so much

yet. to talk about. P351."

Mr. MadJonald I found to be

a storehouse of unormation. no is

a man o! valt experiences. He re-

lated" to ma his Island life, his ex-

perience in the West as a farmer,

later as a contractor, and as an

Inspector. Mr. MacDonald was In-

specter of Civilian Airfields, all

over the West, during the ivar. He

has been on semi retirement since

1946. In B. 0.. Mr. MacDonald, whilst acting as Inspector, em-. ployed by an American firm saw a great deal of, and had all active

part in, the energetic and enor- mous work done in preparation, lest. the Japs attax, when they were in possession of the Aleutian Islands. _ _ .
