OTTAWA (CP)-Canada's pro- duction program for Balls polio vaccine is aimed at providing enough to immunise 1.000.000 Mr- sons by July 1.

Health Minister Martin. an- nouncing the figura in the Com- mons Wednesday. said it still will not meet the vaccine needs of the entire country.

His estimate of enough vaccine by July i "for possibly 1.500.000 individuals" was a big increase from earlier predictions of l,000.- ooo persons immunized by the start of the summer polio season. It would represent about 3) per cent of Canada's population of more than 5,000,000 children under

OTTAWA (CP)-Federal breed- era have produced a new Cans- dian bacon hog. a shapely white animal with floppy ears and rounded harm that may reduce feeding coats and increase fann- ers' profits.

Carrying the blood of the high- quality Danish Landrace bag. the common but durable American Chester White and the British Black Berkshire breeds. the new barnyard dandy is reported to have children with good 0 , and wives that are good mothers. Both are important in breeding.

The agriculture department an- nounced the development Wednei- day. The final choice of a name will be made in a few months.

The new "hog la the product of seven years of testing, selection and some inbreeding at the "ad- eral experimental station at La- combe. Alta. The idea was to get a more vigorous and faster-grow- ing pig to crossbrced with the Yorkshire. But the new breed has no Yorkshire blood in it.

"The potato market has" been reasonably steady during the past week." said Mr. Donald A. Mac- Donald. chalrrnan of the Prince Edward Island Potato Marketing Board, yesterday. "Prices have ranged from 34.65 to 55 per 75 pound bag at Montreal and Tor- onto bases and producers in this Province have been receiving about 53.1) per bulk bushel. How- ever, there have been reports of much lower prices being paid in some areas."

Mr. MacDonald said prmlucors would be well advised to ascer- taln what the actual market is from day to day before making sale commitments. At the present time, he stated, there is a strong- or undertone to the market. Avail- able supplles are unusually light and there should not be much danger of any drastic price de- cline.

Queen 29 Today

WINDSOR. England (Reuters)- The Queen will be 29 today. and she plans to celebrate it with a rare day off from her royal duties.

With her family. she has been enjoying an on-again. off - again spring vacation since Easter. but today her engagement calendar will show a blank page--unless her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh. should scrawl a "happy birthday" message in the book.

The duke has arranged to have s free day. too. so the royal couple are counting on having a quiet family get-to ether.

Even thoug it will be her birth- day. the Queen-like most mothers -probably hasn't a hope of sleep-' ing five minutes later than usual. Her two lively youngsters.

The Queen Mother and Princess Margaret will be driving out from nearby London to loin them.

One of the highlights of her celebrations wlli"ln ta 'fls'mily" tea party in the afternoon.

Although the Queen's birthday today is considered a purely per- onal and private matter, there will be some public recognition- gun salutes will be fired by Hyde Park and at the Tower of London.

But the day for real celebrat- ing. will be June 9. her "official" birthday. The official birthday of the sovereign is Britain's way of dealing with the island's over - generous share of bad weather. June is the month when it is most likely to be warm and bright.

OTTAWA, (CPl- A record ten- der of 5442.952 for oil exploration rights on an Indian reservation has been paid to a small Alberta band of Cree Indians.

Socony Vacuum Oil Company of Canada paid the price for the right to explore a 1.722-acre sect- ion of the Sturgeon Lake Indian reservation. about 200 miles north- west of Edmonton.

For the 400-member Cree band the lender is a windfall. It came as its trust fund at Ottawa was at the relatively low figure of

In the case of fraudulent ad- vsrtlsing. the commission urged greater use of existing federal laws and greater on - operation with Better Business Bureaus to oppose fraud and deception.
