the rear of the buildings appear- ed to be carefully locked and intact. On trying the shutters at Reddin Brothers drug store how- ever. they were found to be carefully closed over a broken window from which several bars had also been removed. The men remained on guard over the loot for some time but finally re- turned it to the Police Station without having been able to identify anyone with the theft. Police are continuing the in- vestigatlon.

The ice patrol heduled to be- gin yesterday morning was de- ferred until this morning or even later if weather conditions con- tinue to be unfavourable. Snow flurries which would destroy visi- bility for a. survey of this kind, was the cause of the cancellation. Cap- tain C. A. Shaw is the observer for the Department of Transport and Captain Godfrey will be in charge of the fught with Wm. Bruce as First Officer and Mr. Ted Shaw as Navigation Officer.

All across Canada people and governments have swung into aci- ion to aid the flood-stricken resid- ents of England and the Low Countries. As a gesture the Gov- ernment of Prince Edwarr Island yesterday made an interim gift of 581,000, it was announced by Prem- ier J. Walter Jones who is heading the campaign for funds in this Province.

At the present time gifts of clothing are not wanted as the need for it. though great, can be better supplied by officials who know the exact requirements. For this reason money only is being accepted. It has already been stat- ed that the Canadlan dolliir will buy much more in many of the other countries,

SYDNEY, (GP)-Sydney Mll- lionaires stalled Charlottetown Islanders bid for first place in the Maritime Major Hockey Lea-

gue Tuesday as they whipped Murphy Chamberlain's Islanders 6-0.

The Islanders went into the game only six points back of the front-running . Halifax Atlantic! but they ran into a Sydney ma- chine that was going wide open in the first frame and whipped home four goals,

Goalie Nick Pidsodny, testod only three times in the first period. made up for it with 26 saves in the last two for his sec- ond shutout oveiv the Islanders this season.

Teresa Catherine Praught, four- year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Prnught. sourls. and Leon- ard Roland MacDonald. four-year- old son of Mr. and Mrs. Roland MacDonald. sourls. were drowned at Norris Pond about 11.00 am. yesterday morning.

The two children. accompanZ;J by Brendon MacAulay. age five, and Donna MacAulay. age three, walked to the pond. about one quarter of a mile from their home.

Arriving at the pond. the chil- dren went out on the ice to play. The accident occurred where men had been cutting fee a few days ago. There was a very thin coat- ing of ice over the spot.

That some mm of governmental intervention or asdstance would have to be provided to inure pro- ceeding with rural electrification was emphasised in the speech from the Throne deliveud by His Honor Lieutenant Governor T.W.L. Prowee as the second regular meet- ing of the min General Assembly was formally opened yesterday.

The Speech stated that-the Leg- islature would be askedto provide a uifficient sun to promote expan- sion of rural electrification. It also foretold of stricter regulations re- garding the obtaining-pt drivers licenses and a change in Grade ii in high schools.

All slgna point' to an earlier than usual opening in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, it was stated last night by Capt. Charles A. Shaw, official ice observer of the Marine Division, when he completed his first aerial ice survey of the sea- son yesterday. ,

Capt. Shaw said there was a lot of newly formed ice but he did not believe it would offer nearly as much trouble to shipping as if it had formed earlier. The flight yesterday took the plane crew from North Point to Miscou Island. over to Bonaventure Island and Cape Desrosiers and along the "steamer track" to Cape Ray, Newfound- land, down the east coast of Cape Breton to the Strait of Canso and back to the base here.

"There has been no material change in the potato inarketiiii: situation during the past week," reports Mr. Donald MacDonald, manager of the P. 19.1. Potato Marketing Board; ”and until such time as a stronger price trend de- veiope in Maine it will be difficult to increase table stock prices.

itHowever. during the past sev- eral days inquiries for Island stock seemed somewhat more active. it were not for the threat of ex- tensive importation: of low-priced Maine potatoes we would not have too much to worry about. In view of the uncontrollable factors which have developed during the past two weeks the Potato Board yes- terday readjusted prices and made this change retroactive to Febru- ary 18th, at which time New Brunswick was forced to lower its pg-ice clue to the throat of impor- tations.

Two hundred and fifty Rota.i-i- ans, Rotary Anns and guests crowded the main dining room of the Charlottetown Hotel last even- ing in what was described as the final word in a good time accord- ing to Ladiee' Night standardsi in Rotary.

There were representatives from all the surrounding districts in- cluding Albany Augustine Cove, Tryon, Lady Fane, County Line, Westmoreiand. Hampton. Desable Inkcrman. Victoria, Kelly's Cross, and Crapaud.

Mr. Jack Nicholson occupied the chair and explained that the pur- pose of the meeting was to ascer- tain if the people representing the above named districts were in favor of the building of a rink at Crapaud. and if they wanted it built by a few individuals, or by the united effort of all the com- munities in the area.

The officers in the rink coni- pany which was incorporated in 1948 under the name of the Cra- paud Rink Company were: Pre- sident, Spurgeon Clark (since dc- ccased); vice-president, .Jack Nicli- olson: secretary-treasurer.

Objection to the placing of signs at the site of highway fatalities was expressed yesterday b Mr. Thomas R. Cullen, Second Kuigs. when he rose in debate in the Legislature yesterday afternoon.

The speaker stated that while such signs might serve some pur- pose he seriously objected to them when they were placed near the home of the victim. He said in some cases the family who were left were faced with this grim re- minder of their sorrow almost in Illht of their doors. i

He did not think the driver was always to blame for accidents. in commenting on the speech from the Throne about stricter driving tests. Pedestrtanr. were frequently careles. he said. and favored a safety campaign based on both safe driving and safe walking. He agreed there were many drivers on the road whose ability had never been tested and thought there was a need for greater highway patrol- ling by police. -

ners now advance against Psi-kdaie in the King's-Queen's playoffs. 3

Regret that the speech from the Throne made no reference to the assistance Charlottetown feels it has wright to expect from tht: Provincial Government was voiced in the Legislature yesterday ,by Mr. B. Earle MacDonald, (Liberal) Fifth Queen's, when he took part in the Draft Address debate.

The speaker was referring to the city's construction of highways leading to shipping points. He stat- ed that shippers from all over the Province use' them but the city of Charlottetown builds and math- tains them. ”This principle. I be- lieve is wrong., if a. highway af- fords equal convenience to all, I think the cost should be borne by all." He also suggested that the Government should start giving consideration to the towns.

The present low price of potatoes meant a loss of millions of dollars to Island growers, Mr. R. R. Bell, Q.C., said in the Legislature as he expressed the opliiion that greater information might be supplied the shippers and farmers by various Government agencies.

As Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Bell was the first speaker for his party in the Draft Address debate which opened yester"-w -”'imc”1. He regretted the low price as over a long period of years pota- toes had brought a great deal of money into the Province and now farmers were only receiving a dol- lar a bag instead of the three or four dollars they had expected.
