PARIS. Sept. 1 -—(AP) --Ws.r- shattered Europe is not yet on the road to self-support despite the fact it has received more than $5.000.- 000.000 in American aid. two top Marshall-Plan officials said today.

This conclusion is contained in a. report which will be sent to United States Marshall-Plan authorities. It was compiled by Baron Jean Charles Snoy of Belgium, chairman of-the Organization for European Eiconcmic Co-operaticn (O.E.E.C.). and Robert Mariolin of France. O. E.E.C. secretary-general.

They reported that although Europe's economic situation has improved during the last two years, the dollar shortage problem has not been solved.

The Marshall-Plan goal has been to make Europe economically self- suffioicnt by i952.

The crop on the Island is “con- siderably below average" this year and the quality on the whole is "fair to good". Mr. McLeod said. A~ csrloed shipped yester- day showed improvement in size and quality. -

Prices this year are expected to be slightly-lower than lest year.

Three car-loads have been ship- ped to date-ell to Montreal. Al- though the picking season is fin- ished. quantities are still in the bends of the assemblers.

Worst Drought In ilisiory

1—-(AP) — The eastern mpg q! South Africa has been burned WW0!‘ d?!’ by its worst drought in history.

In some sections no rain has fallen since the lost week in May. Estimates of the human dead in the native territories of Ciskei and 'l‘ranskei run as high n5 2,000.

The native commissioner's of- fice says the bodies of 12.700 cat- tle and of more than 20,000 sheep and goats dot the once fertile past- ures of Ciskei alone. The Depart- ment of Native Affairs is supplying 18.000 free meals a day to the ter- ritory's school children.

East London—South Africa's fourth large seaport-is bringing in 3.500.000 gallons of fresh water each fortnight by ocean tanker from Durban. 300 miles up the coast. A brief downpour Aug. 23 was the first rain in three months.

Reports of similar conditions come from Nanaqualand and else- where ln the northwest cape. on the opposite side of the province. Farmers and cattlcmers are more used to it there. They have had a long succession of droughts in

mcent years.

The main avenue through the stalls has been named Queens- way. The show is dominated by a huge Scottish lion worked in aluminum.

After the opening ceremony the Queen was presented with a ruby and diamond lapel brooch in the

form of a lion rampant. lt is made from I53 Burmese rubies with a single diamond.

After a luncheon, at which Dana Wilgress, Canadian High

Bar Association Seeks Delay In Abolishing Privy Council Appeals

The request was made in form of a resolution approed

The government recently an- nounced that such legislation would be brought before the next session of parliament, opening Sept. l5.

A special group of the civil ad- ministration committee was set up to render a. report before the con- vention ends Saturday on "out- moded" legislation dealing with lotteries, the Lord's Day Act and the Canada Temperance Act. 0.8.- A. members said the present legis- lation appeared to be out-of-step with the feelings of the majority of Canadian people.

Inter tonight delegates were scheduled to hear an address 0n the importance of the Nuernberg war trials by Robert H. Jackson. associate justice of the United States Supreme Court.

For the second straight day, del- egates today devoted a major por- tion of their time to of the ramifications of possible abol- ition of appeals to the privy coun- cil. The adopted resolution was drawn up in an all-night sitting by a group of some of Canada's lead- ing legsl figures, including H.A. Porter. Saint John, N.B., and J.E. Rutledge, Halifax.

In November they were ready to try again but postponed the trip in the face of approaching winter weather.

The jeep was stowed in a gar- ege. Mrs. Carlin returned to her native Boston and Carlin took s job with a. shipping firm here.

About three months ago. Mrs. Carlin returned to I-lallfsx. The half-cafe was moyed into the har- bor and preparations began.

The Carlins declined to discuss their trip with reporters. In a writ- ten statement before Departure, Carlin said: "We are trying to do something rather difficult. 1f and when we succeed in converting idea into actuality we may be per- suaded to talk of it.

have been in great demand dur- ing the past few days, with heavy movements to an unusually ex- tended market due to the failure of the early crop in Ontario. Eleven cars were shipped out of the Province in one day recently.

This year's crop is considered above average in yield and the quality is "good".

A feature of the recent move- ment is tho shipping of Island turnips in Ontario marked bags. to markets in the Chicago and Detroit areas and the Southern States, which are normally sup- plied by Ontario growers.

It is felt here that, if good quality is maintained in these shipments, it is possible P. E. Is- land may eventually benefit fur- ther by shipping turnips directly to these areas in spite of an ex- tra 30 cents n bag freight charge ovcr the normal Ontario rate.

Some Island shippers are con- cerned with the unusual move- ments at this season, feeling that- they are too heavy.

It is pointed out that in previous

years, export of Island turnips was mainly to the limited market in Boston. This yea!‘ hOWBVEI‘. U"! market has been extended to New York, Detroit, chicaco. the Sou"!- ern States and Ontario itself.
