The members of the Handicapped Chlldrenis Committee. under the chairmanship of Dr. W. J. P. Mac- Mlllan. were faced with the same problem when they met later in the week and found that very little remained in the Crippled Child- ren's Fund. This is a special Fund which is entirely separate from the administration money raised each year in the Red Cross Campaign and is composed of the annual con- tribution of s4.500.00 from the Charlottetown Rotary Club, the pro- oeeds.trom the Radio Auction and the auction conducted by the Mas- ons of Montague, as well as by donations of about 31,500.00 yearly from the Junior Red Cross members in the schools throughout the province. The reports presented by the director of this department, Miss Verna Darrach. R.N.. reveal- ed that all but 5400.00 of the money available for the year has been spent because an unusually large number of children required spec- ialized treatment at hospitals out- side the province during the first six months of the year. The com- mittee regretfully decided that no further arrangements could be made this year to provide glasses or arrange tonsils operations for needy children since there are still several children on the waiting list for plastic surgery and other con- ditions for which treatment cannot be arranged locally.

Duke leaves To Continue Tour

OTTAWA, (CF)-The Duke of Edinburgh left the capital in pelt- ing rain Sunday to continue his Canadian visit in the west. He had arrived here Thursday in a heat wave.

The RCAF 8-5 luxury airliner with the duke aboard took off from Rockcllfie airport at 9:55 a.m. EDT. five minutes ahead oi schedule, for the flight to Rivers. Man, and Victoria.

The departure was informal. There was no guard of honor or band. The duke shook hands with Governor-General Vincent Massey and Justice Minister Garsoh. told them he had had a very pleasant stay here, and dashed up the air- craft ramp.

He ducked quickly through the door of the plane. pausing only an instant to wave to an applauding crowd of some 300, as the rain started to come down harder.

The duke had a full day Satur- day-9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.-at the national research council and the RCMP training division.

At the NRC. he rode on a hy- draullc. machine which tests de- signs for newiships in a 100-yard- long. water tank.

SHOWN SEAWAY MODEL

He also saw a model oi a new lock which will be used on the St. Lawrence seaway project and.a big model oi the seaway itself.

At the RCMP training division. the dogs and horses stole the show from the redcoats themselves.

Two German shepherd dogs. Pride and Shadow, obeyed com,- mands such as to heel. sit, lie, walk and run on signal only. As trained trackers, they found. dug up and brought to their trainers to empty pint liquor bottles which had been buried in the dirt floor oi the riding hall.

Though there is no RCMP mu- sical ride this year. 16 horses went through their paces in the hall.

The duke later went ”backstage" to see the horses in their spark- ling-ciesn stables and chat with a few of the riders, all recru.ts.

The Mounties also put on a de- monstration of police holds and pistol shooting.

Crown Tenialively Winds Up Case In Murder Trial

PEECE. Que. (CP)-The Crown tentatively wound up its case against Wilbert Coffin Saturday after a provincial police constable told the court that the 43-year-old murder suspect wanted friends to guard a copper claim "with their lives".

Crown prosecutor Paul Miquelon said at the noon adjournment Sat- urday that he thought the Crown had called all the witnesses it has to present. If any more were to be called Monday they would tes- tify briefly.

The adjournment came after Constable Louis Sinnett related details of a conversation between Coffin and his father Aug. 2'1. 1953. the day a coroner": jury held Coffin criminally responsible for the murder of Richard Lindsey. 17. one of three American hunters whose mutilated bodies were found in the Gaspe bush.

GREAT WEALTH

Einnett said Conin began talk- ing to his father about his copper claims and said:

"Dad. tell the boys to look after that mountain with their lives... tl'i'ere's great wealth in it."

Later, Sinnett quoted Coffin as saying:

"Anyway. dad. don't worry. I'll be home soon. They're not man enough to break me."

Marion Petrie. Coifin's 41-year- old common-law wife. testified Saturday after Mr. Justice Gerard Lacrolx overruled defence objec- tions Frlday night that she should be classed as' Coffinis wife and should not be made to testify for the Crown.

Miss Petrle said Coffin told her the hunters-Richard Lindsey. his father. Eugene. 17. and Albert Clear. 20. all of I-lolldaysburg, Pa. -had given him a hunting knife and a pair of binoculars for help- ing them with their stalled truck.

Police recovered the items later in Miss Petries Montreal apart- merit.

The tall, shapely brunette said Coffin made no mention of receiv- ing money from the hunters.

SIIOWED TESTIMONY

Mlquelon kept showing Miss Pet- rie testimony she gave at a coron- er's inquest last August and at Coffin's preliminary hearing "to refresh your memory". -

objectiora from defence cqunssl Raymond sher that she was be- ing asked the same questions "for maybe the fourth time" were over- ruled by Mr. Justice Lacroix.

First witnesses for the defence were scheduled to take the wit- ness box today but it was not clear how many would be called. Re-

ports ssrly in the trial said some French jury.

The Charlottetown Exhibition is attracting entries for its week of horse-racing from many Maritime towns and beyond. Certainly not inirscent times has there been such an array of fast horses head- ed for the Island Fair. It is noted that much of the racing will be done at night time. and this will afford many people an opportunity of witnessing the big events which they would not be able to do. if

day time. The advent of flood lighting has made it possible to stage all sports under practically daylight condit- ions. I.st's hope the weather man gives the Province balmy weather and starry skies for the big week. 0 O O .

The highway between Murray River and Murray Harbour is be- ing given a coat of chips. Tins road has been quite rough in spots. and the chip seal mating will be a great improvement.

Horse-racing at the local track is drawing larger crowds than for some time. Early in the year the night-racing cards drew small numbers. It is possible that the large number of visitors to the Province are finding their way to our fine track, but this would ae- count only in part for the increas- ed attendance. It would be safer to believe that horse-racing is too firmly established in this Prov- ince to be superseded by some other sport or to become a forgot- ten pastime.

. . . Vernon River Bridge is one of the popular fishing spots at the present time. Anglers have been fishing Vernon River at all hours, from early in the morning, until dusk in the evening. When trout are rimning at Vernon River, it has one advantage-it can be fished at high or low tide. and tides seem to make very little dif- ference in the success or failure of the fishermen. Most salt wateg streams are not very profitable fishing when the tide is beyond the half-way mark. At least this is the belief of many fishermen. I C 0

When Colonel Budlong won the curtain raiser at the local track on Friday night. the win was a pop- ular one. Honorable Dougald Mac- Kinnon who owns the Colonel is well liked by the race track frater- nity. In winning, Colonel Budlong took a mark of 2.18 W5. not sen- cational time but very encourag- ing in view of the fact that the horse never saw a race track until a year ago. Mr. Macliinnon, be it known, does not expect Colonel Budlorig to become a world-beater. but has hopes that he will win a race or two in the days ahead.
