Sir,-Ono of the most important announcements in Premier Jones' re-election address to the elect- ors was that in connection with

the Department of Health and welfare. This department has now become vastly important

not alone on account of the so- ;-ious matter with which it deals. but also on account of the vast ercpenditure of public revenue in "its administration.

'Credit must be given where credit is due and it is only right 'l,a acknowledge that the present 'C.uvernmenm has been generous and benevolent-minded in its at- Made to those institutions con- nected with the health and wel- fare of our people. These insti- tutions include not only our gen- cral hospitals in which the Gov- ernment is indirectly interested. but also and more particularly our Infirmary. our Mental Hos- pital, our Sanatorium ond our Old People's Home. all of which are directly controlled by the Government.

There is no doubt whatever that there is much about our government - owned institutions that is a credit to our Province. Perhaps in a general way they compare favorably with those of any other Canadian Province. There are nonetheless from time to time incidents and abuses Mnnectcd with these institutions that call loudly for public cens- llre.- Political mal-practice at election time when associat ' with any of these institutions is es- pbcially to be abhorred. Let us hope that no rumor or murmur of such mal-practice will be heard in onnection with the coming election. Let us hope too. that whatever party is returned to power the administration of the llcaith and Welfare Department uiil be for the -next term of four years or mbre above reproach.

LIBERAL ROADS

Sir,-Why may I ask. can't we have decent roads on this beau- tiful Island. as the Liberals call it?,The roads are a disgrace. Why do they go to the trouble of getting pictures of Ontario mud holes. when you can get them right here on the Island. only a hit worse? Ontario is the only Conservative Province and al- most one-third of the people go there and get jobs. Abouty fifty people from Tignish alone went to Toronto this fall and got good Jobs with good pay.

Why couldn't we up at this end of the lsiand have paved roads? They would have to be paved if they were at least half decent: and also electricity. You may as well have a spark along- side of you trying to read as a kerosene lamp. I had a hard

time the other night trying to see those pictures of Ontario mud. Why could we not live with modern faculties instead of this

mud pile? If another Party got in they would surely do something to

better the present situation. The Liberals Just take it for granted and do not do anything. When some of the Liberal candidates get up and boast about what they are going to do and most of the people are crazy enough to listen

to them. Then you never hear tell of it till the next election comes up.

DISGBAOEFUL ROADS

Sir, - I had much pleasure in reading a letter in The Guardian of the 18th in regards to the roads of Coleman. I wonder if the writer thinks thst'they have the only bad roadsi He wants to come down to Freetown and Bedeque as the road from Rloaf Corner to Freetown is a bog mine. In places truck loads of potatoes and gas have bogged down for over three weeks. Cars are get- ting stuck every day and finally they put some planks in some of the holes. They should wire Premier Jones to send up some of those new lridgoa and have them put in those places before election.

Our members of the Fourth Dis- trict live not been seen since the last election and it will soon be over. Oh yes. the road from l'tors' Corner to Wilmot is another heart- break: people ripping the bottoms out of their cars. We are not com- pletely marooned. as we can get to Bummerside by boat. the way the Indians used to go.

I am, Sir. etc.. SUBSCRIBER. Bedeque, P. Ii. I.

BATES FOB LABOUR

Sir,-A letter appearing in The Guardian yesterday, signed Lem- uel Rush, while possibly giving indication of his personal opinion. must not be construed as an ex- pression of opinion by organized labour. As we are deeply interest- ed in the matter. and having in mind the statement read by May- or MacDonald at the last Council meeting. we made enquiries and have the assurances of the Mayor and several Councillors that the wishes of Mayor MacDonald will be carried out at the next Coun- cil meeting.

It must be remembered that the Mayor is presiding officer and has no right to move a resolution. however great may be his desire to do so. In order that there may be no mistake as to what will be proposed at the meeting referred to. with the relative certainty of being agreed to. the amount of hourly wages will be sixty-five cents.

The only direct benefit to or- ganized labor in the Province. ad- vanced by any Government was that received under the Worl:- men's Compensation Act now in operation. All social legislation. for instance widow's allowance and health Drogramme. has been of great benefit to labour. and the Jones Government is entirely to thank for these tangible ex- pressions of interest in labour.

It is also interesting to note that the last increase in wales granted by the City Council was carried on resolution of Dr. Char- les Dougan. long recognized as a

A large two hours of musical men-t at Notre Dame Academy Auditorium last evening as the Senior Music pupils presented their recital.

At the close of the program. students who had passed their ex- ams for the Royal Conservatory of Music of Toronto. last June. were presented with their diplo- mas. and the names of two silver medalists were announced.

Stiff Penalties

In lobster. Cases.

A more rigid enforcement of the law in sentencing poachers and those who illegally fish undersise lobsters was advocated at the quarterly meeting of the Prince Edward Island Fisheries Federat- ion held at the Queen 'Hotel on Wednesday.

The meeting proposed to send a. representative of the Federation into the courts as an interested third party during the more ser- ious cases to plug for stiffer and more severe penalties in these cases.

The members viewed with alarm the prevalence of poaching and illegal undersize lobsters fishing.

Considerable disclneion took place about the recurring com- plaints which were received about the quality and general appear- ance of island canned lobsters.

The secretary, Mr. Walthen Gaudet. was instructed to write all packers in the Province and point out to them the seriousness of the situation. He was also ad-

vised to tell them that unless marked improvement was shown this year the Federation would

have to ask for compulsory grad- ing inspection in this field.

The next quarterly meeting will be held in Georgetown on the in- vitation of the members from that

area. Mr. Paul Gallant presided over Wednesday's meeting which got under way in the morning

with a director's meeting at eleven o'clock. followed by an informal lunch at one and the business meeting at 2.30.

The Federation noted with pleasure that the Board of nail- way Commissioners had turned down the recent request of the railways for increased expressage on fish and passed a motion of ap- preciation to Mr. B. Graham Rog- ers for his assistance to Federat- ion on the matter.

A motion of appreciation was also made to the retiring Director of Fisheries. Mr. J. A. Rodd for his valuable service to the fishing in-

duatry of the province for the

past number of years. Comprehensive reports on the

annual meeting of the Fisheries

Council of Canada were given by Messrs. J. B. Myriclt, Tignish and L. L. Noonan, Charlottetown.

The Federation agreed to sponsor a float in the parade dur- ing Festive week and a committee was appointed.

Following lunch an interesting film on the manufacture of rope entitled "The Pilgrim Story" was presented through the courtesy of a Halifax firm.
