ly so that arrangements can be

their living room, they looked out
over the sea where the world's
ships passed by on their way to
the Suez.

"The P.U.C. is led to believe
from reliable engineering sources
that the Morrison Dam will pro-
vide a reservoir • of some 40,000,-
000 gallons of water all of which
will be 'available to the town
during the dry summer Months.
The town. and the Authority
have entered into an agreement
whereby the town is :permitted
to use all the above water at its
discretion during the pericia
mentioned. This agreement runs
for a period of 4Q years and is
renewable at the end of the
term.
"Another very important far.,
for 'which has made the need
for extra water supply keenly
felt in the community is that
the Canadian Canners plant at
head office have, advised that
they are prepared to carry out
very' extensive . enlargements to
the present plant provided 'of
course that a guaranteed supply
Of water may. be had. Such a
proposal, would of great ben,..

The island has many sandy
beaches where swimming is popu-
lar. Mrs. Aquiline says she

her husband reminds here there's

The country's national sports
are soccer and water polo. They
also enjoy horse racing.
Maltese' are a festive people,

popular art, and the island has
hundreds of large orchestras,
some among the best in .the
