Move For Province-wide Potato Growers Group

A move to set up a province wide potato farmers organiza-

tion that would have the back- ing of all. or at least the great majority of growers was initiat- ed last night at the annual meet- ing of the Provincial, Federation of Agriculture. A report from a special committee under the chairmanship of Frank Jardine, Freetown suggested that other non—active potato organizations be asked to surrender their char- ter and the federation “urge and promote the amalgamation of existing organizations into one province-wide organzaton under

~ the name, constimfion“and"“h:?5I

laws of the Potato Producers organzation, or as it may be seen fit to amend them”.

The suggestion created _some spirited discussion and was fin- ally turned over to the executive for further study and .recom- mendation.

Fire last night destroyed a wat' er-powered lumber mill at Bay View, near Stanley Bridge, the property of Rupert Simpson. Other nearby buildings, the pro- perty of W. A. Simpson, were saved by the combined efforts of the Rustico and Hunter Riv- er fire departments.

The fire was discovered around 9:00 p.m. but was too far ad- vanced to be checked by the time the first fire department

notified that they were laid off effective Monday.

Report More Jobless Than At Any Time,Since Depression

OTTAWA (CP) — More people are looking for jobs in Canada than at any time since the De- pression.

Labor Minister Michael Starr told the Commons Friday that at Dec. 26 there were 698,153 per- sons regis-tered for work with the National Employment Service, al- most double the figure for mid- ,November.

A nd government informants said unemployment is still on the rise and likely will continue that trend until March.

While employment service reg- istrations are not an absolute gauge of unemployment, they are used as a basis for comparison with previous years, taking into account the fact that a percen- tage of applicants are looking for different jobs than those they al- ready hold.

Mr. Starr's figure brought a prompt demand for government action from President Claude Jo- doin of the 1,000,000-member Ca- nadian Labor Congress.

“We are sorry to see that these figures bear out what we have been saying,” the CLC chief said.

NOT “CRY WOLF”

“It now is obvious that predic- tions of a serious situation have not been simply cries of ‘wolf.’ It is also obvious that there is

urgent need for action now and preventive measures to avoid such situations developing in the future." ,

The labor m.inister’s job regis- tration total is the biggest for any period since the National Em- ployment Service, created in 1940 legislation, star-ted functioning in 1941.

While earlier statistics are not available. it would also beat any for the earlier wartime period. It probably was exceeded during the Depression, though no figures are recorded for that time.

Closest post-war approach to it came at the high point of unem- ployment in mid-Ma-rch of the re- cession year of 1955, when the registrations with National Em- ployment Service rose to 632,914.

At that time, Canada had a con- sidera-bly smaller labor force than now-—5.400.000 against about 6,000,000 now.

Up until last month, the highest December figure on job seekers was 465,000, in 1954. In December 1956, the registrations totalled 387,327.

DOUBLE IN SIX_ WEEKS

In mid-November"-the last pre- vious time for which figures were available ——- the job registrations were 352,000, meaning they prac- tically doubled in less than six weeks.

About 350 people sat in St. An- drew’s United Church where the big oaken, flag-draped coffin was carrle by members of the Black Watc Highland Regiment. They heard Maj.

The 62-year-old war veteran be- came paralyzed in 1930, 13 years after a Royal Flying Corps plane accident in Ontario. He spent the last 20 years helping soldiers, vet- erans and invalids. The greats of his dreams was the invention of the wheelchair coach. It became a reality in 1947.

But he never saw one; he be- came blind about a year before the first coach reached Halifax.

Knowing his frail body could not last too long, Mr. Callow built up an organization that could con- tinue after his death.

Mounted Halifax police led the procession to the church. Behind them came a guard of honor from the Black Watch. The coffin was on an artillery gun carridge and behind that came more soldiers and police. The procession passed Camp Hill veteran’s hospital where Mr. Callow lay almost mo- tionless for nearly 20 years.

The body will be taken to his birthplace near Parrsboro, N.S.,

The fear was expressed that the importation of the feeder took from Ontario might bring with it hog diseases that would ser- iously injure the swine industry in this province after it has earn- ed such a high rating across the country.

Mr. Wright noted in his report that sales of registered swine are splendid. He himself had sold everything that he had available, he indicated.

During the discussion it was stated that the feeder pigs from Ontario were being brought in

Venezuelan President Forms New Cabinet

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Marcos Perez Jiminez

formed a new cabinet Friday and ousted the -unpopular heads of his interior ministry and security police in an effort to save his regime.

He apparently resolved the most serious crisis since he be- came president in 1952. The crisis has been mounting since he put down a military revolt New Year's Day.

Thrown out of office and re- ported en route to exile were In- terior Minister Laureano Vallen- illa Lanz and the security police chief, Pedro~Estrada.

The interior minister had been criticized as the author of the for- mula to have Perez Jiminez re- turned to the presidency for a new five-year term at the Yes.-on no plebiscite last Dec. 15. The president had no pallot opposition.

Estrada was perhaps more hated by political party leaders- than Perez Jiminez himself. They accused Estrada of torturing poli- tical prisoners. among them lead- ing members of the armed forces arrested on conspiracy charges on the eve of the revolt.

He also incurred the wrath of Roman Catholics by arresting five priests the day after,

OTTAWA (CP)—Three and pos- sibly four provinces will begin re- ceiving federal contributions July 1 in a national hospital insurance

scheme, if Progressive Conserva- tive intentions announced Friday are carried out. They are British Columbia, Al- berta, Saskatchewan and likely Newfoundland, It was learned. Health Minister J . Waldo Mon- teith said in the Commons the government plans at the next ses- sion to amend health plan legis- lation so any province ready by July 1 can get federal benefits- roughly half the Cost. The legislation now requires at least six provinces with a major- ity of Canada's population must sign with Ottawa and have pro- vincial legislation in force before federal payments can be made. The scheme introduced by the Liberals had not been expected before Jan. 1, 1959, when On- tario’s plan starts. Mr. Monteith said he is confi- dent at least three or four prov- inces will try to be ready by July 1 and that “most, if not all, of the remainder of the pmvinces Vt:-Ill soon have plans inopera- on.” .
