hundred foxes in one year due to worms. According to documented stories a number of people who

tried making it in the fox industry lost large sums of money. Buying stocks they ended up losing everything they owned. When Dalton and Oulton dissolved partnership, Dalton sold his

ranch to a Charlottetown company in 1912. Some of Dalton’s money was donated to the Canadian Red

Cross Society. On July 22, 1916 Islanders got their first view of the Red Cross Ambulance produced on the front page of the Guardian newspaper. The picture showed the following inscrip- tion placed on the vehicle. ”Canadian Red Cross Society,”

presented by Charles Dalton of Prince Edward Island. Dalton gave a generous donation to the Roman Catholic

Diocese to build the Tignish Dalton School for boys in 1930. It was during 1915 that the Prince Edward Island Canadian Red Cross Society found the serious problem of Tuberculosis that was striking families with devastating effect. Once more Dalton took more than a casual interest in the seriousness of the disease that

was effecting even his own loved ones. Dalton provided relief through a donation of land and

buildings in the Wiltshire area of the Province. This became the Island’s first tuberculosis sanatorium. In 1930 Sir Charles Dalton was named the second Lieutenant Governor of the Province. He

died in office in 1933. A Journey To Fox Hill satisfied a desire to find out more

about the fox industry, and so is added to my collection of writings.
