ited drive to collect that are in arrears. The matter was brought to the fore by Councillor Johnstone who stated that only half of the taxes had been paid this year and this per- centage compared favorabiy with past years.

Councillor Jobnstone pointed out that less than 60% of the taxes had been psld in 1947 and the remainder would never be paid, Among those who were lsx in this matter. he stated, were many prominent wealthy citizens. Worst feature of the problem was inequality.

Tax arrears on real estate, he said, presented a different pic- ture. Councillor Farmer stated that much emphasis had been placed on the collection of real estate tax s and suggested that a list be gven to the Council of poll tax payers in arrears.

it was also resolved that the Lieutenant Governor in Council be requested to make a regulation under section (29) of section 6 of the Public Health Act compelling sewerage correction and flush toilets within the corporate lim- its of the City of Charlottetown in terms of the subsection.

Churchill left little doubt to- dfly. He said Lord Boavcrbrook is his friend —they were colleagues in the war cabinet - and had rendered. “distinguished and invgl- uablc" services many times,

Bebuff to Beaverbrook

The speech seemed a clear rc- buff io the 70-year-old publisher who 2o years ago created conster- nation in party ranks by spon- soring "Empire crusade" candid. ates against official Conservative standard-bearers.

Since then Lord Beavcrbrook has had several clashes with Conser- vatlve chiefs or with a section of the party. Last January he stop- ped subscrlbing to his constituency fund bees/use the candidate didn't support his Empire views.

Most political writers regard Lord Bcaverbroolfs latest platform as likely to have little more effect than nuisance value. His editorial columns are generally held to be less influential than circulation figures would suggest.

Biggest Problem

Some weeks before the House re-opened, Mr. Smsllwood ssldthe high cost-of-livlng was Newfound- lsnd's biggest problem and "either the proilteers or the Government will be going out." The Govern- men had been investigating prices snd would take "the hide of! any proflteers."

Mr. Smallwood told the House:

"One of the surprises of confed- eration is that it hasn't brought about a greater fall in living costs.

"The members of the Govern- ment, including myself, told the people to expect a considerable falling off in living costs. We be- lieved what we told the people and we are deeply disappointed- indeed humiliated-do find our words haven't come true."

He said officials of the Supply Ministry had gone to Halifax, Charlottetown, Sydney, N. S.. and Saint John, N. B, to ascertaimthe retail prices of such gools ss sold in Newfoundland.

These officials also had carried out similar investigations in St. John's and Newfoundland’: threc big towns, Corner Brook. Grand Falls and Buchsns, to arrive st price comparisons.

The Premier said these compar- isons showed that Newfoundland prices were l0, 20 and 80 per cent higher than those in the Nova Scotla, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick centres.

He tabled a comparative list of gr-ods with prices and showing the percentage of profits in Newfound- land retail stores. There was s wide difference in prices of the same goods between one New- foundland town and another. Ho gave s number of illustrations.

Who's. Who In P. E. Island Agriculture

srawanr c. RIGHT Field Promoter with the Prov. Department of Agriculture

At present acting Deputy Min. lster of Agriculture during Mr. Walter Shaw's holidays, Mr. Wright was born in i904 at Cape Traverse, Prince County. on the farm of his father, the late Mr. R. Alder Wright. The. eldest of three sons, he moved with the family at an early age unto the farm at North Carleton which became the Wright homestead and is presently farmed by his brother, Mr. Wilbert Wright.

From North Carleton school. Stewart attended the Prince olf Wales College teacher‘ course and went on to Truro Agricultural College in 1922, graduating in i924. He then returned to farming, both on the homestead and s bought farm, and married Miss Mary Hilda Gardiner, Chelton, in 1925.

in i988, Mr. Wright joined the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture as dairy promoter for the Province. This work was discon- tinued st the end of i933. In the spring of i034 the new pig-testing station was established at the Ex- perimental Farm and Mr. Wright was invited to take charge of the new development which is believ- ed to have been the first in Can- ads.

A year later, when the Provin- cial Department resumed the cow- testing programme, with which Mr. Wright had been familiar in the Dominion Department, he was asked to assume the responsibility of this work.

Not long afterwards, he was sp- polnted Provincial Director on the Canadian Council of Boys’ and Girls’ Club work, which position he still retains. Also at this time he was assistant to Mr. W.R. Shaw during the promotion of the Youth Training work carried on st the time by the Provincial Department of Agriculture.
