Souris Meeting Discusses

New Lobster

A half-way endorsement of the new increase in the carapace measurement of the lobster was favored last. night by the major- ity of speakers who took part in discussions at a well attended meeting of the P. E. 1. Fisher- men's Association at Souris.

The majority of those who spoke favored some change in the size limit. but they felt that the carapace increase should be one-sixteenth of an inch this year instead of the one-eighth as called for in the new Dominion regulations.

They added that the size could be further increased by cne-slx- teenth next year. This would bring about the one-eighth in- crease over a period of two years and in this way it was felt that the fishermen would drop less poundage in their catches this year.

A smaller number of speakers favored the new regulations which calls for an increase from 2 318 inches to 2 U2 inches this year. This regulation will go into effect in May.

Another smaller group were against any change in the pre- sent measurements.

Dr. D. G. Wilder of the Atlan- tic Biological Station in St. An- drews. New Brunswick gave an interesting talk on lobster con- servation and in his remarks he stated that there might possibly be a fifteen per cent poundage drop in the catch around Souris this year due to the change in

Regular Monthly Meeting of B.l.S. Held Last Night '

The members of the Benevolent Irish Society held their April meeting in the Whalen Building last night with a fairly large number of members present.

The chairmen of the following gave their annual reports for the year 1952-53: Social Evening, L. E. Gormley; Ladles' Auxiliary, (3. Carroll; Shamrocks, J. E. Coacly.

President E. W. Hogan con- gratulated the above chairmen on the way in which they had haml- led their respective committees during the year and wished them every success in whatever future office in the Society they might hold.

The annual meeting of the So- ciety will take place Friday eve- ning. April 24th in the Whalen Building and the election of of- ficers for the ensuing year will take place at this meeting.

The committee in charge of presentation of the MacNuliy Family Entertainment Troupe in

Dealing with the army, he said the reserve force is in 'ta sorry plight" and needs to be thoroughly reorganized. The regular mobile striking force. the key to home defence against ground attacks. had been broken up to send men to Korea and Europe and no longer could be considered a trained for- mation ready to fight.

The navy program had slipped badly. After two years. only 58 of the promised loo warships were available and the kingpin of them all. the aircraft carrier Magnifi- cent was nbsolescent and badly in need of a major overhaul. The production of the new escort ves- sels was behind schedule. The maj- or harbors were defenceless.

More Hopeful Way

Summing up. the chancellor said: "The path of restriction has

been so firmly fixed in pecpies' minds that it now tends to be re- garded as the inevitable line of conduct. But we can now look to a more hopeful way. We can lighten cur load and liberate our energies.

"The fact that we have not been getting the best out of our productive capacity springs in part from our terrible burden of taxation . . . Even after this bud- get we shall not have let up to a level which can be called even moderate."

For the first occasion since the war. and Butler said it was about time, the budget proposed "nc new taxes at all." And in an un- expected stroke. it was announ- ced that sugar rationlng would and "soon".

The feeling seems to he that this is a popular budget. But one possible point of political con- troversy lnvolved the abolition of the excess profits levy. The Lab- or opposition will likely ask why the chancellor has chosen to go back on a tax he felt was neces- sary only 13 months ago.

Expenditure Up

Butler budgetted for total gov- ernment expenditure for the cur- rent fiscal year totalling H.259,- 000.000. an increase of i108,000,000 over the figure for the year end- ed March 31. Despite the tax cuts. be estimated ordinary rev- enue would be iTI8.000.000 bigger than expenditure.

The equivalent dollar figures for expenditure and ordinary rev- enue are 511.925.230.000 and 512.- 703.600.000. The pound sterling is valued at 52.80 in international exchange dealings but this does not indicate its buying power in the United Kingdom.

This is what the income-tax cuts will mean to the average British wage earner:

A worker who earns I500 31,. 400 a year. with R wife and one child, will pay Ill 1411 32.80 a year instead of H4 39.40. A man earning 52.000 55.600--the income of an ordinary British phyglclgn -with a wife and one child will pay MK! 14s 51,371.20 a year in- stead of I521 41 51,459.50.

But the biggest tax handout. of all went to private industry. which Butler said bears the chief responsibility in speeding the ox- ports Britain needs to keep pay. in her way in the world.

Members of the Provincial Red Cross Women's Work Committee held a special meeting at Red Cross Headquarters in Charlotte- town on Monday afternoon to plan for the distribution of over 5.000 towels which are to be made up by the first of May for shipment over- seas for the victims of the recent European Floods. (This is part of the rehabilitation programme made possible by the National European Flood Relief Fund which is being administered by the Canadian Red Cross Sccietyl. Mrs. E. A. Foster. Provincial chairman of this com- mittee, presided at the meeting which was attended by almost 100 percent of its membership includ- ing representatives of the Sum- merside Branch.

There was a ready response to Mrs. Foster's appeal for workers and the different members present each volunteered to look after the placing of hundreds of these tow- els. The Summerside ladies started the ball rolling by offering to get 1,000 made up! As the result of the meeting the towels are being given out to many different women through various organizations as quickly as they can be cut. from the webs. Prince Edward Islanders have always been noted for their cc-operation in emergencies of this kind. and are once again coming through with flying colours. r
