and appreciated the v isits of numerous friends. Alex was al- way a interested in horses and

owned several that he trained and raced and it was a severe blow to him to mim the pleasure of at- tending the annual Old Home week and other racing events.

SOME ACCEPT OFFER

The parents of at least one American airmen and the wife of another annnounced they would accept the offer, but most of the other relatives interviewed held back for one reason or another.

"An eppellingly callous prop- aganda gesture" was the way Sen- ator Charla Potter (Rep.-Mich.) described it other senators ex- pressed similar views.

The United Nations looked more favorably on the offer. which it said resulted from the recent trip to Peiping of Secretary-General Dag Hsmmerskjold. Hammerst- jold went there seeking release of the American prisoners.

Street Department were hired by him. He suggested that recom- mendations for the hiring and fir- ing of men should come through the supervisors, to the engineer and to the City Clerk. He felt that with all the duties expected of the City Clerk, full responsi- bility in this matter was too much to expect of him. WRONG SYSTEM

Councillor MacDonald said that the system of hiring and firuig men was entirely wrong. "There are too many with 3, fist in it", he said. He was certain'that there were a lot more men working than was necessary. As an in- stziiice he brought to the Council's attention that this week, six men in an uptown area. were engaged in cleaning out one catch basin. Coun. Rogers agreed in this mat.- ter.

Coun. Gaudct said that after reviewing lhe lisi. of City employ- ees that could be classed as lab-

Annuul Banquet Masonic Lodge

-The annual banquet of the Hiram and Lebanon Masonic Lodge was held last evening at t h e Summerside Presbyterian Church hall, with 150 members and their wives in attendance to enjoy the lobster super. Past- master W. A. Currie was master of ceremonies and proposed a toast to the Queen, which was followed by a toast: to the ladies proposed by Dr. J. C. Simpson and responded to by Mrs. Robert Palmer.

Rev. Donald MacKsy was guest speaker and addressed the gath- ering on the principles of mas- onry. Rev. Mr. MacKay was in- troduced hy Kaye Hanson and at the conclusion of his address was tendered a vote of thanks on be- half of the order by R. E. Ellis.

A toast in the craft was pro- posed by Senior Wnrshipfiil Mas- ter Dr. John 3lrNeiii. which was responded to by Pasi Giand Mas- ter Fred Bell. Dr. .VlcNeiii is lhv

ourers, he found that the number was twelve andnior a municipality of this size he did not consider this number to be abnormal Coun. Gaudet felt that there was time for a shake-up to determine whose responsibility it was to hire or fire employees. He said that there were many cases of one Councillor telling the City Clerk to fire a man. when, on the same day, another Councillor would tell him to re-engage him.

His Worship said that according to a City by-law passed in 1048. the City Clerk had full supervis- ion over the street employees and had the authority to engage or dismiss such employees when deemed necessary. Mayor Stewart suggested that Mr. Fullerton was not getting the co-operation of the Councillors in this matter. "Too many Councillors want to have men hired or fired," he said.

His Worship told Councillor Mac- Donald that he would have to cut down on his Department also. (Coun. MacDonald is acting as chairman of the public property rommittee during the illness Councillor Keefe.) Coun. Mac- Donald ststed that he had left only one employee with the Park caretaker but men that he had laid off were re-hired again by another Councillor.

The Mayor stated that if there is work for these men to do. the City is only too glad to make use of their services. ”But.” he said, "we are not running a social agen- cy and until such time as we need them. they will have to draw on their unemployment insurance benefits." The Mayor cautioned that he did not want any more interference from individualCcun- ciliors in regard to the hiring and firing of men.

FORUM GRANT VOTED DOWN

The request of the Charlotte- town Forum for I. grant of 84.000 was again brought up by Coun. Rogers who explained thet he was sponso in; the resolution for one reason, namely. that the Forum is the only public recreational insti- tution in the City that can pro- vide skating for the children. and if for the want of necessary funds to carry on it were obliged to close, the loss to the City.would be great.

Coun.' Rogers made it clear that he was not in favor of spending public funds to support private enterprise. realising that if the City did make the grant, they would be creating e wecedent, I-is wu supporting the motion. only for the above reason.

Mayor Stewart before adjourn- lng the meeting once again threw the matter of investigating the employee situation into the hands of the special committee named by Coun. Mccormsc. The Mayor said he would work along with the committee to see that matters could be brought to a more satis- factory working basis.

Its unusual to see so many geese and ducks present at this late date and my bet is that since they have stayed this long they'll stick it out until March. even if the bays and inlets freeze up. This week I tried to count a raft of 89956 lying a quarter mile off shore in one of our bays. It was approximately 200 yards long and fifty wide. They were close packed and a raft like that could contain one thousand birds easily. Feeding close to the geese were approxi- mately 300 black ducks. If King Winter decides to lower the boom in February there is trouble in Box Car letters for our wintering wildgense, It would be a very good plan to have some arrangements in advance to take care of Just such a contingency.

Rollo Bay appears to hold the largest concentration of geese but Tracadie Bay is not far behind. I have received information that some sizeable flocks are wintering in Prince County. A flock of ap- Droximately 30 had a strong no- tion of making Sturgeon Bay their headqua.i'tei's this winter and are

probably there at the moment if tgoose minded' owners of. motor boats haven't driven them out. Chasing migratory birds with power ,ib0ats is unlawful even in open season.

muiizeon Bay would rival Rollo iBc'i.V as a goose feeding ground 'if ih9l' Were given half a chance. it's shallow. with food in abun- dance, and there are sections that do not readily freeze over in even the coldest winters. Complaints have been received that some gen. try have been taking pot-shots at the geese and ducks in Rollo Bay when they visit inshore springs for fresh water. I have been informed that the shooting takes place in the deep dusk of impending night and when a snow storm is in pro- gress. The poachers also keep iiiEm5eiVe8 Dusted as to travelling conditions for motor traffic. some of them are pretty smart lcooklar and don't believe in taking chances but-there are more way of kill- ing a cat then choking it with hot butter.
