People Hold C

met for their spring conference in Charlottetown on May 23rd and 24th.

The theme of the conference was “Living Loyalties’ based on 2 Cor. 5: 14, 15. “For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then we are all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not hence- forth live unto themselves, © but unto him which died for them, and rose again.”

WELCOME

After registration and billeting by Maude Kells, Marion Perry and Janet Mellish the young peo- ple enjoyed a sumptuous ban- quet, at which an address of wel- come was given by- John Owen, the president of the Charlotte- town young people. The reply was given by Margaret Jean Macdonald.

The evening assembly was led by Adele Beck, chairman of the conference. A _ devotional and beautiful solo were presented by Carol Enman and Leona Weale respectively both of the Summer- side Young People. Merle Zim- merman led the group in. pray- Pe FROM INDIA

The message was -brought by David Reese, missionary on fur- lough from Assam, India. He emphasized the fact that unity in the world is not possible rac- ially .or politically; neither is it possible by the combination of the best of the various world re- ligions, showing that there are some important principles in the various religions which are direct opposites; neither is it possible by union of denominations. It is only possible by individual loyalty to the word of God.

The evening was brought to a close with a social hour led by Lee Kitchen and followed by lunch.

Mrs. Reese and her three chil- dren showed the various types of dress of the regions in which they have worked and sang spir- itual songs in the languages of) those regions.

The brewery’s directors urged shareholders not to sell.

Most British taverns now are partitioned in two or more bars, “public’’ and “saloon,” with sa- loon bars featuring higher prices and generally attracting bowler-

The Sears spokesman declared the British public is tired of standing up in smoky, smelly “‘barnlike premises” and is ready for drinking in ‘a comfortable lounge and bar.”

TRAFFIC INCREASE

To bear this out it is seen that from 1948 to 1958 the traffic be- tween Borden and Tormentine (with the coming of the Abegweit) increased from 28,000 per annum to 142,000. The largest increase in any one of the ten years was when the Abegweit was put on the run. The increase that year was 18,000 or over 40 percent.

Mr. Scott's report predicts that with proper facilities, the traffic at Borden and Tormentine could easily reach the 300,000 mark. Premier Matheson also notes

CBC Strike Threat Ends

OTTAWA (GP) — Negotiations on a strike-threatened wage dis- pute betwen the CBC and the National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians (CLC) fell through here Tuesday.

NABET announced its Cana- dian negotiating committee is asking international headquarters at Chicago to authorize-a strike of about 1,260 CBC personne! in 22 Canadian stations.

The strike previously had been approved by a vote of Canadian personnel, according to a NABET announcement last week. ..

“There must be a marked change in management's position before negotiations can be re sumed with any hope of settle- ment,” said a statement issued Tuesday by T. J. O'Sullivan of Toronto, chairman of the NABET negotiating committe.

The committee started meetings with the CBC here Monday morn-

ing. BIG EFFECT TO TV

A strike of the NABET mem- bership could impair CBC tele- vision services heavily. It would have a lesser effect on CBC ra- dio.

The NABET statement de- scribed the negotiations with the CBC as having ‘‘ended in failure.”’

It added: \

“Wage issues have been per- sistently confused by manage- ment propaganda to the effect that the parties are only two per-cent apart. Many different proposals have ben discussed, but all management offers for the past six months, although made in a variety of forms, have added up to a total which would barely cover the increase in the cost of living since the last contract be- came effective Aug. 1, 1956. “Management's: best offer in-

OTTAWA (CP)—An American publication says Gen. Earle Part- ridge, American commander of North American Air Defence Command, has been prevented by the Canadian government from talking to the press in this coun- try.

It also says the Canadian gov- ernment insisted that U.S. Air Force officers attached te the northern NORAD region at S. Hubert, Que., be listed as “‘liai- son officers’ and that they wear civilian clothes. a

The monthly technical maga- zine data, published in Washing- ton, says ‘its information was “submitted” to it by a ranking officer in NORAD, a joint Can- ada-U.S. command. It did not say whether the officer was Ameri- can or Canadian.

There was no immediate gov- ernment comment.

NO PRESS CONFERENCES The magazine says:

named as commander-in - chief, NORAD, he was held back from visiting Canada for some time by the Diefenbaker government, and when he was finally permitted to come in for purposes of protocol, paying respects visits, he was timed by the Canadians to arrive around 10 p.m., was told he could not be met by the press and that he would give no press con- ference.
