and is now in operation. This Branch delivers bulk propane to customers as far east as Montague and looks after all customers within an area of 30 miles or so around Charlottetown. However all propane for customers

in these areas still comes from the plant in New Annan for both bulk and cylinder delivery.

As propane has become increasingly popular for use in travel trail- ers and campers during the summer months it can be noted that a great many trailers call at our New Annan plant to have their cylinders re- filled with propane gas.

The fifteen years I have been connected with Island Propane Gas

Ltd. have been enjoyable for me, they have also been challenging ones, but I think this is as it should be.

RAYNER’S CAMPING GROUNDS

Mr. Delbert Rayner, who has been running the park with his fam- ily Since 1960, has announced the completion of approximately thirty new camping sites giving his well-equipped park a total of seventy sites, including sixty-four electrical hook-ups for trailers.

The washroom facilities have been expanded to include hot show- ers and flush toilets; nineteen water outlets are now at the disposal of campers along with barbeque and picnic tables at all the sites.

The park which is located on sheltered Webers’ Cove has a gently sloping shoreline, making swimming safe for children.

The exciting sport of deep sea fishing is an added attraction to visitors. A popular pastime that can also be enjoyed at Rayner’s is horseback riding. Many tourists take advantage of the opportunity to ride the fine saddle horses unrestricted through the fields.

CLERMONT MOTEL

One might wonder why a motel built in New Annan would be named Clermont Motel. This land, which was bought from Stewart Moase in 1957, lies in rather a confusing location as the Clermont Station and also the road leading to Clermont appears before coming to the motel from the New Annan way.

When asked to name their motel, Mr. and Mrs. Pidgeon actually thought that they were building in Clermont and suggested “Clermont Motel”.

However at the other end of New Annan District, our New Annan Station is actually situated in Traveller’s Rest.

Ken and Madge started with twelve units and had their first guests July 3rd, 1958; they moved into their new home March 1959.

In the fall of 1962 they built eight housekeeping units and were opened for business July 6th, 1963.

In the fall of 1968 they wished to expand so bought more land and built ten more units, four of which were housekeeping units; thus making a total of thirty units.

Mrs. Pidgeon was the former Madge Brander of Baltic, they had one son Ira, he is married and living in Kensington.
