cent increase in hog breeding in January this still representsl only a fraction of the decrease noted 13-55 Year. At. the same time it is anticipated that this year there will be a 20 per cent increase in beef marketing.

January slaughtering of cattle showed a 22 per cent increase in the United States, jumping from 1.033.300 in 1053 to 1,262,100 ani- mals this past month. In Can- ada there was an 18 per cent rise from 112.788 to 132.806. But there was a startling drop in the num- ber of hogs marketed reflecting the heavy sales of a year ago when breeders feared the bot- tom was dropping out of the market.

In January of last year there were 421,548 hogs sent to mar- ket, but in the same month of this year there were only 350,621 for a 21 per cent drop.

At the some time when farm- ers were selling even their top quality breeding stock last year agricultural exports warned, them they were making a mistake and predicted that before the end of the year pork should be selling at a higher price than beef.

SDII Win intercollegiate

Debate From

A Saint Dunstan's University debating team of Miss Mary Farmer and John Walsh defeated a team from St. Thomas Univer- sity ln s Maritime intercollegiate Debuts at S.D.U. last night. The Saint Dunstan": debators were unanimous winners.

St. Dunstan's defended the re- Iolution ”That increased immigra- tion would be beneficial to Can- ada." They were opposed by Jim Daly and Rod Violette of St. Thomas. '

The judges were Messrs. Frank MacPhee. Leo F. MacDonald and J. J. Morris. The Chairman was Art Pendergast of St. Dunstan's.

The win was the second for the Saints in the M.I.D.L. this year. They will hold their third and final debate at Dalhousie Univer- sity tonight. Allan MacDonald and Ian Glllis will represent St. Dun- stan's.

A win tonight would possibly mean the Maritime championship for the local college. Two years ago Saint Dunstan's won the Maritime and Canadian Inter- collegiate debating championships.

The debating moderator at 5. D. U. is Rev. F. L. Cass. He has had outstanding success as a coach during the years that St. Dunstan's have competed in in- lercollegiate debating competition.

Second Dramatic Production Of Centennial Year

The second dramatic production of the Centennial Year at St. Dunstan's College will be pre- sented in the college auditorium tonight. "Thor, with Angels," a "l9dl9Vlll Dilly by Christopher Fry. will be staged by the dram- atic society of St. Thomas' C71- lcge. Chatham, N. 3. Dr. A. P. Campbell, of this city, Professor of English at St. 'I'homss' Col- lege, is the director.

Tonight's present-itlon. open to the general public as well as the Collage personnel. will be the only Charlottetown performance of this play, which was the Can- terbury selection for 1948.

A leading drama critic in is re- cent artlcle in "America" maga- zine commented on the play as follows:

"'I'hor. with Angels"

tells the

story of the awakening to new:

life of a (litenllyl god-fearing Jutish farmer of Kent in thit- Sear 596. Through inexplicable circumstances he finds himself ready for the Christian teaching of Augustine. Cymen. father of two sons and a younger daughter, in a battle with Saxon neighbors. has been prevented by an unseen force from slaying a young Bri- ton fighting for the Saxons. With dogged determination to under- stand. he brings the youth home a captive. obstinstely refusing to carry out the wishes of his broth- ers-ln-law that he slay the Bri- ton in order to placate the gods whom they worship in servile fear. Their sister. Cymt-n's wits, Clodesuida, vaclllates betwei-n com- passion for her bewildered. stub- born spouse and the irreverent fear of deities. "It isn't easy to keep on the windy side of Woden. as anyone knows." she says nncr. Cymenfs wife has something of the shrewlshness of Mrs. Noam in the mystery plays.

"But Cymen is strong enough to stand against wife and brothers and sons. He will save the Bri- ton ln order to understand the spiritual thing which he knows has happened to him. What it is like he tries to suggest in these words to Hoel. the Briton:

'As tho so ilplrit in you. like

A wild fowl hindlng in the mere

of your flesh,

Heard the sound for off and

flew up clamoring

Raising a spirit in mc.'

"The language in Fry's plays is so encliantiligiy exnressive that the critic must continually resist the temptation to offer small cup- fills of this refreshing fountain of English lyricism. But no Christ- ian can resist quoting lines like Cy-men's explanation of what he has felt in this first fingerinz of

it not be supposed that Fry hasl

merely told a pious story of the conservation of a pagan Jute in the year 596, just after Pope Gregory had made the evver-tIl- be quoted pun on Angles and An- gels which gave Fry ills title. "Thor. with Angels." There are no visible angels in this play about the Saxons and Jutes, Britons and Merlin (no less). It is the story of st hard-headed. hard- flsted farmer and his practical wife and their children. tug strong sons old enough to want to be on the successful side, and a younger daughter with a heart as compassonatc as Miranda's and a spirit as frank, as Rosslind's.

"Power-fully evocative of Anglo- Saxon England in its rugged verse and idiom." the critic concludes. "This play about the conflict in the soul of cymen between grace and nature has the essential in- tegrity of good drama: it is true ti. life."-
