Says Britain Noi “Suppliani" For ll. S. Aid

BRIDLINGTON’, Yorke" Sept. ‘I —- (C?) —- Prime Minister Attlee today denounced people he said are trying to cause hostility be- tween Britain and the United States, deblared again the lid will be kept on wages, and took a fresh swing at Communism. Speaking before the 81st annual meeting of the Trades Union Con- gress. he said demands for bigger pny envelopes without a matching rise in output "lead straight-to in- flation." - Attlce told the convention a min-

"ority- of the opposition Conserve-

tivo Party hopes for a severe eco- nomic crisis in Britain in the be- licf "if things get serious they might overthrow the Labor govern- merit." He added:

"in this they are at one with the Communists, who would welcome a Tory government. The Commun- iats’ will no doubt continue their policy of fomenting industrial dis- putes wherever they think there is favorable ground."

Of Communists abroad, the Prime Minister hard this to sayi "f hope that wiser counsels will prevail and that they will aban- don their policy of trylriifo dic- tate to other nations."

Referring to the Washington fin- ancial talks among Britain, the United States and Canada, Attlee said it has been "falsely repre- sented" that Britain is e mere sup- pliant for American aid. Britain hes done her share in ‘ ' ' others as a partner with the Uni- ted States.

"I have given the figures — they amount to £900.000.000 ($6,000,000.- OOOl." he laid, ' On the problem of international payments. he said: "It cannot be solved by one government in isol- ation." But the fact that it was an international problem did not mean Britain was not resolved to make the fullest contribution in her power to a solution.

Attlee won T. U. C, support of a frank appeal to get th lr mem- bers’ votes at the genera election which must take piece by next summer. He asked the delegates to devote themselves to "the duty" of returning the Labor govern- ment to office.

The Congress lave its moat en- thusiastic demosistretion of the day in response to this appeal.

Attlee urged the T. U. (2.:

Duality filovern.‘ Seed In Demand I

Because of the dmilllli: in most of the timothy and red clover seed growing areas. there is a brisk de- mend for good quality seed, The Guudian learned yesterday.

However, Island timothy, while i" "F91! H8 800d as or better than the imported seed, doeshot gen. eraiiy meet the standards expect- ed by the seed trade. 1t L; often hlshly infested with the seeds of ox-eye daisies, spurrey and sol-rel, These weed seeds are extremely difficult — or next to imporssible- to separate by cleaning.

The Dominion Seeds Act classi- fies daisies as a primary noxious weed. Therefore, more must, be no 0515i’ 5990s for timothy to grade No, 1. Five seeds are allowed in one oz. of timothy in order to grwdei No. C. Farmers will find ready eaie for these grades. The sale of rejected or lower grades is illegal.

It had been suggested that tile Island could pr0dllce 100,000 to 190.000 lbs. of red clover seed this season at a yield of 100 to 200 lbs. an acre. At the uncleaned price-of 30 cents per lb. to the farmer, this would have been a welcomeaddi- tion to the farmers‘ income.

But. a survey showed no more U10" 30.000 to 40,000 lbs. of clover seed available -and, as Island threshing machinery is not gen- erally suiiabie for the grass-seeds, it is felt that no great quantity will be saved.

Mr. 11.0. Parent. Superintendent of the Experimental Perm is look- ing into the possibilities of mak- ing a few experiment; this year. A few fields may be cut in order to find out if red clover seed can be economically harvested on the Is- land, so that advantage may he taken of the next and future good second crops.

l.osi Deadly Duel For Woman's Honor

PERTH, ont, sept. r - (or) ._ Almost buried in the weed-grown cemetery, which residents of this western Ontario city srenow re- storing to its original neat appear- ance. Ls a tiny gravestone which recalls a once-famous tryst with death. It marks the burial place of Canada's last dueiling victim.

When John Wilson and Robert Lyon, brilliant law atludents and close friends, fell out over words spoken by Lyon concerning a young woman, they were goeded into a duel by a man known now only as Le Llevre.

At that time. the 1830s, Perth was an important military centre. In the two decades before i333 many important duels were fought here.

Le Uevre -- nowadays believed to have had some sinister motive for his actions - persuaded them to draw blood when their first shots. fired in early dawn and with full traditional ceremony, missed.

Lyon fell with a mortal heart wound, in the gracious stone house now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Cyril Inderwick — a house often Phvlvlflllhed as a famous exam- Die of early Canadian architect-

ure.

Wilson defended himself bril- liantly in court and was lacquitted. The little gravestone over Lyon WI! elllraved merely "fell in mor- tal combat." Legenda about the- duei are many among living res- idents of the area.

Govemmeni To Maintain Dani Ai Whliloclds

Whitlockk Pond, located at Up- ton, Duridas Centre. about 40 miles from Charlottetown. and the property of Mr. Edgar Whitlock. City, has become a ward of the licensed anglers as the result of an agreement signed yesterday be- tween Mr. Whitieck and the Pro- vincial Government, which is to extend over a period of the next ten years, with option of renewal at the and of that time.

The agreement simply mean; that although the pond is still un- der the ownership of Mr. Whit- lock, the Provincial Government ha-s agreed to relieve him of the responsibility and expense of keep- lng the mill dam in good repair over that period in exchange for the right of making the pond open to the public for fishing purposes, with the revenue derived from fishing and hunting licenses by the Government used for the financial upkeep of the site.

Mr. Whitioek stated last night that the system of renting out boats for fl-shing in the pond would remain the same as before and that one of his own employees would still act as caretaker to lookvafter the boats etc.. and that the only actual change would be that. the upkeep of the dam would be the care of the Government in- stead of himself. He further stat- ed that. the arrangement came about when he found that the dam, which was in need of repair was becoming too expensive to keep up, and rather than lei; the pond run out and spoil the good fishing there. took his problem to the local government, who agreed to take over the project to pre- serve the fishing for the general public.

The new arrangement will be good news to local sportsmen, as Whltlockk is probably cine of the best trout fishing ponds in the Province and is a favourite fish- in; site for ardent anglers.
