Legislative Assembly

of Summerside and from our good Patriot and Guardian. For some reason or other we are not used in any of the headlines in this book. (Applause).

Another thing, Mr. Speaker, I would like to leave with the House some articles written during the fall by the Travel Writers who were here last year. When they went home to their different cities and towns they wrote articles in their papers and sent up copies. We took those copies and made a booklet of the things that the Travel Writers said about us in Prince Edward Island. It is interesting to see how they have praised us, especially our hospitality and our people, our beauty and our tranquility. I have some extra copies here; if any of the members of the Legislature wish to take them home they are free. It is interesting to see what these people say.

I want to ask the members of the Legislature, I mean both sides of the Legis» lature, if, in their district, they find some spot which they think is a spot of beauty, a spot which should be taken note of especially if it is on the main trunk highways, I would ask them to let me know about this spot or this site. We propose this sum- mer at set up lookout points or picture taking points and we will put up signs mark- ing these spots, a place for the tourist to park and take pictures of the area. We will probably have about twenty and thirty areas throughout the province where the tourist can stop and park his car and take photographs or film or whatever he likes. We would be very pleased if any of the members have a certain spot in their district, if they would notify me and we would try and get that spot looked after. I prefer to have them on the main highways so tourists could see them. We are going to start our first one some time in the month of June and we hope that we will be able to induce the press photographers to come along and publicize this so that people will know that these spots are here on the Island, and see if we can’t get some interest taken by the tourist in these certain beautiful areas. (Applause).

Mr. Speaker, I was going to give a dissertation on Georgetown. . . . Some Member: I think you should.

Honourable M. Lorne Bonnell:....and a few other things, but before I do that, it is getting late and I know you all want to get home I want to say this. I have had a very pleasant Session with you all, and I hope that you will all be back next year and that you will have good health during the next twelve months. I hope that you don’t go home with an bitterness in your hearts. After all, we are here to re- present the people of our districts and I know that we on this side of the House were very interested in some of your remarks. Some of the things brought up on the opposition side was worth listening to. You had some good suggestions. A lot of it. of course, was only for political purposes, but after all, we have to get elected and I don’t blame you. But maybe next year, when the members on this side of the House will be able to point out with more detail the actual figures for the deficit of last year and the expenditures, and have a chance to inaugurate many more of our new policies, progressive policies. that we have been trying to initiate, there will be very little for you to criticize. We will have a very short Session next year. This year there was room for criticism because we had a lot of problems before we came in and we couldn’t correct them all. But we made the best effort possible. Give us anther year and I think even the people on the Opposition would be proud of the government, proud of our Premier, and will be saying it is too bad we are not on their side.

Thank you. Walter R. Shaw: (First Queens)

Mr. Speaker, since the night is far spent there is no reason in the world why we should adjourn this particular sitting. (Applause) I have reserved the right to speak for the three hours which I have intended to speak (Applause) and with your permission, Mr. Speaker, we shall go on now to one, two, or five o'clock which is the usual hour of adjournment. I notice in this very interesting article in Travel Writers, there is one article here that says “Night Life Blooms in Charlottetown”. I don’t know whether this is an example of night life in Charlottetown or not, but I can assure you I don't appreciate it too much. Now, Mr. Speaker, I am not gomg to say anything regarding the Minister of Welfare and his closing remarks about those wonderful things he is going to do next year for a brief session. I can only look forward and hope, and I’m afraid that he is going to be more embarrassed when it
