Live Hog Prices Drop At Chicago

But Prices Still Far Above What They Are in Canada.

—€

NEW YORK. Oct. 2i! — (AP) _ Charles Lucklllall. chairman of the Clllzells Food Committee, said ifldlly the voluntary food conser- vatm“ Pmgmlll W85 Being so well that its objective 0,1’ saving 100,- 000,000 bushels of wheat and grain to feed Europe's hungryvmay be achieved before Jan, 1,

Luckman also told a press con~ ference after a talk to represent- atives of civic, fraternal, veter- ans and other organizations that other conservation measures might be instituted by Congress but add- ed that his committee probably would (wind up its immediate em- ergency task on or before the year's end .

Asked whether he meant by this comment that Jan. 1 would bring an end to meatless, poultryiess and eggless days, Luckman was understood by an Associated Press reporter to mean that it would.

A spokesman for Luckman de- nied. later, however, that the Food Committee chairman had meant. to give this impression. The spokesman added that L/uckman refused to predict what conserva-

ter Jan. 1.

Meanwhile, Congressional action before Christmas on aid to Eur- ope and high prices was forecast by Senator Scott Lucas (Dem.- Ill.) after a visit with President Truman. This statement coincided with another drop in hog prices at Chicago. Live hogs slipped 50 cents to $1 a hundred pounds, a total sag 0.! $4 since the first meat- less day when top-quality anim- als conulnanded $30 a hundred. However. wheat hovered at the $3 level.

Senator Lucas told reporters at the White House that Truman is at work on the double-barreled program which he will present to the special session of Congress called for Nov. 17. He has appeal- ed for emergency winter aid for Europe and inflation curbs.

Lucas sold he was happy to see Truman "tie the high price sli- uuticm with foreign relief, since they go hand in hand."

Ontario May Extend Immigration Scheme

(By The Canadian Press)

703701010, Oct. Ell-Possible ex- tension of the Ontario air immig- ration schomobeyond its present objective of 7.000 immigrants from Britain by the end of the year was suggested in the Ontario Le!- islature today by both Premier Drew and Planning Minister Por-

fer.

Both termed the scheme which has so far been close to 8.600 Brit- ons arriving in Ontario as "ex- tremely satisfactory." Mr. Porter said the scheme may be continued into next year. He estimated that at least 2.000 persons in the Brit.- lsh Isles have indicated their read- iness to come to Ontario and that no maior difficulty stands in the way of continuing the scheme in- definitely.

Premier Drew reported that wives and families of air immig- rants had started to arrive, in the second stage of the plan to bring new cltilens from the Uniiedxing- dom. , .

The House resumed sitting list. Wednesday afici- adjournment from last spring. .

Premier Drew uid that "every single person who has come under

animals (vcrc being raiscd at B centre ihern for cancer study put‘- poses, he said.

this air immigration plan has been informed in the most. ex- plicit terms, that there is a hous- ing shortage here and that they must be prepared to accept ac- commodation sultablc to a single person in rooms that they can rent. Whether if. is generally known or not. there are rooms available in this city all the time." Immigrants also were informed that. they could not bring their wives and children until they had established a home of their own and had assurance of a Job. Premier Drew told the House: "The idea of coming to Britain is gaining hold of the imagination of the people of Britain and they are going to feel the results of this air scheme for years to come." The Ontario plan did not run contrary to policies of the Federal Government. he added. Federal Government - doctors were making the physical examinations of all British immigrants to Ontario. Premier Drew disclosed that. the immigrants are allowed to bring at lent 020.000 in yearly instal- ment of 00,000. in keeping with the amount permitted all grants from Britain to anihvhers in tho British commonwealth.

Court Case

One of the largest liquor seiz- ures to be made since the pro-war rum running clays was made by members of the Summerside De- tachment. of the R.C.M.P. on Mon- day evenlng when a motor boa’. entering Summerside harbour was intercepted and boarded. It was found to contain a cargo of 910 pints of New Brunswick Liquor Commission ruin and whiskey.

Two Summerslde men, Augustus Gallant and Joshua Gallant Jr. were placed under arrest and ap- peared before Magistrate RS. 11in- ion yesterday morning. After ent- ering a plea. of guilty the former was fined $500 and costs or five months and the latter was given a fine of $200 or three months.

According to the evidence given at. the trial Csts. Davis, Lauman and Stafford were waiting in a motor boat just after dark by the breakwater lighthouse. A boat. was seen to approach, entering the harbour, and as it passed the po- lice boat. gave chase and called on them to heave tn. When they con- tinued, warning shots “were fired and after o. short. chase the boat stopped and was boarded with the results mentioned above.

It. is also reported that". a quan- tity of lobsters. alleged to have been fished out. of season, were found on board.

At. the same court yesterday a man from Mount Carmel was fined $200 under the Excise and $100 under the Prohibition Act. for hav- ing a large quant/lty of "moon- shine” in his possession. S

Suggests Potato Growers Co-operate

(By The Canadian Press)

AMHERST, N. 5., Oct. 20—New Brunswickb Ag-‘culturs Minister Austin Taylor told the annual meeting of the United Maritime Fishermen today that. farmers in lils Province and elsewhere in the lifuritimcs could well afford iotske a lesson from the co-operative or- ganization of inshore fishermen.

In New Brunswick. ho added. a handful of men controlling the

fertilizer business and many farms -

had handicapped the potato busin- ess greatly. He said such men had adopted policies which had affected marketing of potatoes in foreign countries.

Many dealers and brokers in New Brunswick had no interest in the farmers but. were concerned with their own profits. Mr. Taylor said. He would do anything to stop such a small handful of men from running‘ the destinies of half a million people.

He expressed the view there was need of Dominion legislation to cover such marketing.

There was also need of stronger farm organization in New Bruns- wick although farmers gradually were becoming better organized. when they learned to speak with one voice they would be able to go places. ~
