J ?riday, March 8, 1968 on all projects. They arrnged to give assistance by supplying bands, marching- units, flypasts, and flying displays, fireworks, a public address system, transportation, tables, chairs and tents. These were planned for and supplied at many of the cele¬ brations throughout the year. National participation included the Golden Centennaires , Ship Visits, Motor¬ cycle Display Team, The Tattoo. All these performances, for those who were for¬ tunate enough to see them, were very much enjoyed. We are very proud of the contribution made by the Centennial Committee of Summerside with over 190 projects. I am sure that this cannot be matched by any other community in Canada . Besides Miss Canada , the Summerside Canadian Legion Junior Concert Band took top honours at the CNE in Toronto during their trans- Canada tour which took them to the . There was the unique ice-boat crossing, the water-skiing trip to Expo, the Maritime tour and Expo trip of the Presbyterian Band. These are but a few of the events in Summerside during 1967. L. George Dewar : How many projects? Hon . T. Earle Hickey : 190. L. George Dewar : That is more than St. Paul! Hon . T. Earle Hickey : I think St. Paul bragged about having 105.

During 1967 the annual meeting of the Superintendents of Insurance was held in Charlottetown , and over 270 persons attended from outside the province.

Commencing on January the first this year, a new program, "facility", was introduced by the insurance industry to insure persons who had perviously been insured under the assigned risk plan. Automobile insurance premiums were reduced in 1967 for persons with good records, and there is another similar small reduction in 1968 for the same reason. (Applause) While none of us looks forward to any castastrophe or war or any other event that would require the services of the Emergency Measures Organization, we never¬ theless are organized with assistance and training provided by the Federal govern¬ ment. During the year the organization was requested to set up an emergency feed¬ ing unit in to assist in the search for a boy that was lost in the wood near . During the year the Auxiliary RCMP were called upon on many occasions to work and assist parades when visitors were in Prince Edward Island . These Aux¬ iliaries must meet the rigid enlistment standards of the regular force; they are also trained by the regular force. Their uniforms and arms are provided through the Emergency Measures Organization finances of which the Federal government con¬ tributes 75%. The Municipal Emergency in the basement of the Fire Hall at Summerside was completed last year. This site has high enough pro¬ tective factor to permit the government to operate under heavy radioactive fallout conditions. • Emergency hospital. Plans are now being completed to bring a two-hundred bed emergency hospital into the province for the Emergency Health Services Branch. This hospital is available at no cost to the province, and may be quickly set up for emergency that may arise. Canada may still be in a major war. The continued proliferation of nuclear —221—
