He went. on to say that the books WEN closed sometime ago to permit the auditor to audit the books. and since then the amount of taxes collected left only a little over $400.00 to balance the books. and he was confident that by the end of the week the book deficit would be wiped out.

suggests ‘Doctors Sell llrugs to Addicts

0’I'I'AWA. (CP) -_— Harold I winch. CC!‘ member for Van- couver East_ says the illegal nar- cotics trade could be crippled if addicts obtained drugs from doc- tors at cost.

“If you take the profit out of the illicit traffic. you will go a long way to wiping,it out." Mr. Winch said Tuesday in the commons during debate on amendments to the narcotic drug act.

He supported‘ a change increas- ing the maximum penalty for narcotic poddlsro to la from seven years. but said the approach to the addiction problem should be med- ical. rather than punitive.

Health Minister Martin inur- rupted at one point to pay than is no law against doctors trdatlng patients. The law merely ensured the doctor acted responsibly and honorably.

"The people of Canada don't know that.” Mr. Winch replied. Titers had never been an educa- tional program to encourage ad-

the Montague Association was

diets to go to doctors for trut- moot.

When racing fans sit in‘ on the first horse-racing card of the local season at the Charlottetown Driv- ing Park near _tiie end of Jnue, they will take nota of the large new show building which is rising north of the main grandstand. one of the many improvements made in the past few years. some of the oldtimers, who can look back thirty or forty years will remernhcr when the whole layout of the ex‘- hibition grounds; the buildings, the track. and the accomodatlons were far different.

Yes. there have been changes over the years. but there will be one notable exception. the Mac- Kinnon racing colors will still be there, and Colonel Dan will be teaming his own horses. While his string of three. which includes the good trotters Pet Hanover. and Feather Duster. and the pacer Lassie Lucille. colonel Macxinnon will continue his association with the racing game, which com- menced more than four decades ago.

Easily the dean of the track. both as owned and driver, the Colonel removed any idea that he might be retiring from the game. when he bought the trotter Pet Hanover at. the Sununeraide sale several weeks ago. Since then he has been actively training his new acquisition as well In his other two horses. daily. All three should show up very well in the sununer racing summaries. according to stable talk. If the record of the MacKinnon sf-able was erased from the history of Island and Maritime racing. some of the pages would be dull reading. so oft has the Mac- Kinnon entries provided the com- petition. and the color to make the day’: card thrilling and specta- cuiar.

It is good for hone-racing to see the Colonel, great competitor. graceful loser and modest winner that he is, lend his prestige once more, to the track and to the game.

How much is a smile worth? While we all konw that at smile has value. moct'of us would not feel like interpreting such a natural and spontaneous manifestation in terms of dollars and cents. How- ever. "The Management Review" quotes av story indicating that a jury once set an actual monetary value on I. smile. The amount was 020.000.

The story involved a boy who had his face burned and partially paralyzed by a broken live wire. In court the boy's lawyer told him to turn to the jury and smile. The result was pathetic. One side of the boy's face" smiled. but the in- jured side just puckered up in a pitiful contortlon. Alter deliberat- ing for 12 minute: the jury award- ed the boy $20,000.

0 O 0

That jury recognised that‘ no monetary onsidsration could com- pensate for the loss of A. smile. our human‘ relations are influenced more than we ordinarily realize -by the simple fact. that we can and do smile.

Old soldier: of the Third Cana- dian Division of the First World War who are still above ground. and who served in France in 1916 will remember June 2nd of that year as vividly as if it were yester- day. For to this Division on that day, and particularly to the nth Canadian Infantry Brigsds of the Division: came an ordeal of itttlo not exceeded in fury by any battle of the war.

It was not a long or prolonged fight. measured by the standards of the T914-I918 war. but the Can- adians wera holding the dread Yprss salient. protecting the road which led to the Channel ports, territory which had to be held at all costs. The narrow Salient, pro- jecting into the German lines was practically surrounded on three sides. and German artillery fire could infilado the Canadian posi- tions from both flanks and could. in fact, shell the most forward Canadian position from. the rear.

with their usual methodical pre- paration the Germans turned hun- drods of guns on the Canadian trenches at 8 a.m. on the morning of June 2nd and relentlessly shell- ed them for five continuous hours. Then just before the German bat- talions advsnced to the attack. they blew up a series of mines under the forward position: of the Third Canadian Division.

. . .

The forward battalion; of the 8th Infantry Brigade. in which members of the old Prince Edward Island Llghthorse served. were lit- erally blown from their trenches. and at the end of the five hours‘ bombardment the 2800 men in the brigade had been reduced to little more than 1.000. "D" Company of the 5th C. M. R. Battalion. in which Col. Fred Andrews. Major Norman Lowther and other well- known Charlottetown men served. were in the , t trenches and though suffering severely from shell fire. "D" Company. with the re- mainder of the Battalion. counter- sttacked and helped prevent the Germans make a clean break through. It was a very trying day. of prolonged punishment und er shell-firs with the enemy holding a dominating position, and pol- seaud of overwhelming artillery power. Later. the Third Division was to take part in the fierce bat- tiu of the lommo and to figure prominently in the battle of Vimy and all the great attacks of 191'! and llil. but to thou who sur- vived the war. the June and scrap of 1010 was the most deadly of them all. In tho grand strategy of the war it was a diversionary

Assistance Promised If Quebec Undertake Power Development

MONTREAL (CP) ——- Transport Minister Chcvrlcr said yesterday as much as $400,000,000 may be spent in the Montreal area if the Que- bec government decides to under- take power development in conjunc- tion with work on the St. Law- rence seaway. .

Decision on the power develop- ments’ rests with tho pr0\'lnClal government, he said, but the time for making it is “growing short."

Mr. Chcvric-r‘s speech was pre- pared for delivery at a luncheon of federal and municipal officials fol- lowing official opening of an At- water street tunnel under the La- chlne canal.

Referring to the at-away, Mr. Chevrier said he hopes for final clearance on power development in the International Rapids section "with I matter of days, almost."

The major part of federal govern- ment expenditures on the St. Law- rence seaway canals would be in OT‘

near Montreal. An estimated 120.-l 000,000 would be spent on navlga-l(‘l|.V 01 Montreal tion works in the Lachine canal scc-llfiifil tion here. and approximately $50,-. ‘qticiii opening of canal biirigcs and
