-Ensor "Paley" Perry and Don-' nie "Wick" Gallant, two of four prisoners who escaped from Prince County Jail early yesterday morn-i ing were recaptured at a house in Sumimerslde a few hours later.

A third prisoner Fred "Mousle" Peters was recaptured last evening at another house.

Indian liiver School concert

h,Indlan River School held its Christmas Concert on December, Zlrd with Mr. Bernard McLellan as master of ceremonies. The pro- gram was in keeping with the Christmas spirit and was of a high calibre.

A feature of the program was the pageant "The Nativity". Other numbers" included dialogues. step- danclnl and recitations which were all very enjoyable. Much credit is due the teachers, Miss Donaida McDonald and Miss Roma McCloskey. for the effi- cient ,trainlng of the children which made the concert a real treat.

Santa Claus

appearing in the traditional costume was given a hearty welcome. He distributed gifts from the beautifully trimmed Christmas tree to teachers and pupils. A generous treat of or- anges, apples and candy was given by the Women's Institute to all school and pre-school child- ren in the district. The. singing of "God Sate the Queen" brought a delightful program to a close.

House-Moving on The Increase

-At least eight farm houses were hauled to the town of Keri- sington during the past summer and autumn. Most of the build- ings were hauled by buildmcrs and caterpillar tractors on the main roads.

By using judgment and co-oper- ation. room was matte for passing cars and other vehicles. If in the process a house had to be left on the road over night it was left at some wider portion whcrc passing

was made more easy. Greased planks were placed vncler the runners.

The house moving of today is not as spectacular or exciting as in earjy days when "hauling" wasl done by 15 or 20 teams hitched tandem-or in a later generation by capstan. but it is very much

quicker. The rise in the number of house-hauiings may perhaps bcl attributed to higher costs of building.---K. Debate Over

The manager of the Marketing Board believes that some brokers in Canada and the United States are endeavouring to "hammer down" island potato prices to the lowest possible level to create greater profits. He expressed the hope that none of the Island dealers would help them to ac- complish this purpose. He be- lleves that brokers, whom he states are in reality Only Dill” chasing agents for the DONIW iradr. should be considered too small to exercise a commandlnz influence on the price Island growers should receive for their potatoes.

Sees Difference Of opinion

Stanley Knowles (CC? - Winni- peg North Central said "a sharp difference of opinion" apparently exists between the Defence Depart- ment and Watson Sellar, auditor- general.

Mr. Sellar. with evident dissatis- faction, had pointed out in his an- nual report that the people in change of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of military stores - the Chiefs of Start - were not an- swerable to Parliament and that Parliament therefore had no direct control over them once they were bought.

The Defence Department had made clear that it was correct that the Deputy Minister and Minister had no direct say over the stores and that the deputy was reduced to an "errand boy." It was not en- ough to say. as the Government had said. that the minister was answerable to Parliament.

Joseph Noseworthy (CCF - York south) said it is regrettably true that the Defence Department and the army have become "the laugh- ing stock" of Canada as result of "the Currie Report. It was particu- larly regrettable that this should happen when the department was spending most of Canada's tax money and was the guardian of Canadian survival.

George Hees (PC D Toronto Broadview) said the attitude of the Government was "not good en- ough” to back up the Canadians fighting in Korea. Nothing v-oibi undermine service mor-ale quicker than the knowledge that there was "inefficiency in high places."

Left Door Open

The Government. by ignoring the warnings of the chief auditor of the Defence Department. had left. the door wide. open to wrongdoing, It was to the credit of Canada's sol- diers that more of them didn't walk through the door.

Western parts of the country po- tato markets are strong with ship- ments heavy and distribution wide- spread. The reason for the weak tone in the East is stated to be largely due to poor quality ma- terial pushed on to the market, in lot of it being consigned. It is furthermore stated that a large quantity of potatoes came into New York City in a frozen con- dition. These did not help demand. The Maine market is not partic- ularly strong, but apparently grow- ers are not greatly concerned as it is felt the situation will clear up finally and a better tone in ,mai-keis prevail. New supplies ltrcm the South of course could alter this situation.

l If we look back we will remem- ,ber that in January and February last. year difficulties were exper- lienced in making sales at what was considered reasonable prices, ,and while there was a drop in iprices in January and February, ,movement. was restricted until the ;market revived, and our records ishoiv that in some weeks only about fifty carloads of potatoes I moved from Prince Edward Island. ,It. was not until March that con. ditions began to pick up and mar- ket tone was restored.

At the present time we are again facing a weakening market con- dition. although there are quite a quantity of potatoes moving from the Province, over 200 cars hav- ing gone this past week. Under these conditions producers are izaole to become a little concerned land I can quite understand that ,they are possibly more inclined to ,accept lower prices on potatoes ;i1ian the real conditions would .Jlistif.i'- In order to meet tha present situation the Prince Ed- livard Island Potato Board Direc- tors lowered floor prices.

This, no doubt. was felt neces- I-sary in order to meet the present lsituation. I do not think the low- ering of potato prices will ma- terially affect consumption for there have been no complaints re- garding the prlce of potatoes. Nev- ertheless. these changes in Board prices up and down may be neces- sary from time to time to meet. special conditions, and it is sin- cerely hoped that the conditions will again improve and 'former price relationship be re-establi.sh- c

We have had some reports that the Board price has been broken by some dealers. It is our opinion that the great majority of dealers in this Province are honestly ob- serving Board regulations and are meeting these regulations. Any break away. however, from then, regulations is not justified. and it definitely is dishonest procedure. If purchases of potatoes are made below the level set by the Board any parties making such purchases are not honest with themselves- deflnltely not honest with! other dealers who are observing the reg- ulations; not honest with thi Board; and not honest with tht producer. I have no brief what- ever for the P. E. I. Marketing Board. but I recognize it as I legally constituted organization that is endeavouring to do a Joli for the potato industry of thu Province. If there are any diffi-

Executlve on which producers and dealers are represented will. I am sure. be glad to receive such rep- resentations.

The breaking of Board regula-

tions, however. without contact with the Board, is breaking the law. and any deflections from

-these regulations should in tin best interests of the whole situa- tion be dealt with accordingly. Tho information herein is given in an attempt to place before our potato producers the conditions operat- ing at the moment. Without at- tempting to look into the future and render any information on what the market may be a month or two months from now I can only say as I have consistently ad- vocated in the past: "Keep the potatoes moving only in such vol- ume as will tend to correct an overloaded and sickly market, and observe the regulated marketing practises and requirements that are laid down under our market- ing system."

lncidentaliy. it is interesting to note in regard to the substantial movement from Prince Edward Is- land during the past! week that considerable quantities of these
