Mr. Bette. who mired from active business sev- srai years ago. left the province when only iii years of age and may be regarded as an Isslander who ,grew up with the West. - i

in moving about the Island, Mr. laietts was amazed at the progress made during the years which elaps- ed, particularly in methods of farm- ing and the facilities enjoyed in farm homes. "I suppose that as ii young man I accepted the beau- tics of the Island as a matter of course. However, the red soil and green fields, the rivers and streams and the thrilling beauty of the landscape is an ever-recurring source of enjoyment as I move about among friends," he said.

Mr. Betts is married and has a family of four. He leaves for Vancouver tomorrow with renew- cd recollections of his birthplace and the old homestead now effici- ently operated by his nephew, James Bette.

"We have not yet reached agree- ment in our negotiations with the Em-ptiaiis even on general prin- miles. and I am by no means certain that we shall." he said.

He added that Britain would be glad to pull its 70,000 troops out of the Canal zone. but would do so only if completely sure that the principle of free transit through the canal would be guaranteed.

Chancellor of the Exchequer R. A Butler stressed the burden Brit- sin is carrying in the spheres of defence and welfare. but added: "Our independence in the econo- mic sphere will be assured by rt development of the pclicy of 'trade not aid,' and we confidently look in the United States administration to further such a policy."

filed by federal authorities. The state has filed first degree murder charges at St. Joseph, Mo., where the boy's body was unearthed from a shallow grave. State kidnapping charges are pending here against the couple.

Both murder and kidnapping are punishable by death in Missouri.

Browneirs announcement indi- cates the FBI has failed to estab- lish -the abductors crossed any state liness. Extortion carries only R. maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment, a 5,000 fine or both.

Bobby's body was dug from a lime-filled grave in the backyard of Mrs. Heady's home in st. Jos- eph, Wc nesday.

Hall sad Marsh killed the boy soon after he was kidnapped by Mrs. Heady from a private Cath- olic school here Sept. 28.

Mrs. Heady told St. Louis police she didn't know the boy was dead until they told her his body had been found in her backyard.

Money Missing

Still a mystery in the case was what happened to the rest of the 3600,00 ransom paid by the boy's father, Robert C. Greenlease, one of the 10 wealthiest men in Kan- sas City.

Something like 5202.000 was re- covered from a room in a St. Louis motor court rented by Hall. It was found in two suitcases. Hall says he may have lost another suitcase of money while on a drinking spree.

Both Hall and the woman are held in default of 3100.000 bond on the extortion charges which grew out of a. ransom letter sent to the 71-year-old Greenlease.

The letter at first waa believed to have been printed by Bobby but .this turned out to be wrong. It still is notknown who printed the letter.

A pistol picked up in a St. Louis apartment rented by Hall. still hasn't been established as the gun used to fire slbullet into.the head of little Bobby.

At St. Joseph Thursday about 26 FBI agents oombed the yard and home of Mrs. Heady.

Another development Thursday caused speculation the boy may have been beaten. Two of his teeth were missing when his body was uncovered. The st. Joseph coroner, Dr. H. I". Munday, said the bullet fired into Bobby's head had not been found.

An axe, covered with a substance resembling blood, and a long han- dled sl--vel, the type used by grave diggers, have been found at ythe Heady home. '

Hall was paroled from the Mis- souri prison where he was serving a two year term' for a taxi cab robbery. ,Governor Phil M. Don- nciiy said Thursday he intended to look into the circumstances of Hall.

, Kidnap Car Found

Baptist B.Y.P.U. Weekly Meeting

The regular meeting of the Baptist Young People's Group was held last evening with increased attendance. This enthusiastic group was presided over by president Donald Holden with secretary David Schurman and group lead- ers Eiieen MacArthur and Lloyd Oakes directing the business per- iod. The open devotional period was conducted by Lloyd Oakes. as- sisted by pianist, Mrs. Keith Bre- haut. V

The evening's program featured an-interesting address by .Miss Bessie Lockhart, retired Baptist Missionary from the Tekali field of Telugu, ndia. For this inform- ative taik on mission opportunities and rewards, the B. Y. P. U. had joined the Missionary Society's Thankoffering service.

Busy Year For Maritime Electric construction crews

"Sufficient work has been carried on throughout the Province by the Maritime Electric Company during this summer to keep all regular construction gangs busy and at times warrant the employment of considerable casual labour." said Mr. G. H. Milligan, general man- ager of the Company yesterday in discussing the over-all situation. On the Georgetown road, seven miles of first class standard pole line was completed and put in op- eration, eliminating the further use of the submarine cable be- tween Montague and Georgetown which has been taken up and found to be in good condition.

In many areas where roads are being widcnedconsiderable stretch- es of line had to be set back, new poles installed and additional wire facilities provided. This type of work has been carried on extens- iveiy on the Svparrows Road, the Norwood Road and the Seal River Read.

Full strength gangs are presently working at Hampshire on the Wiitshire Road and on that por- tion of the trans-Canada Highway approaching the North River bridge from both sides. where consider- able new line is under construc- tion. Neccssary replacement work has also been done on Spring Park Road.

The probability of further activ- ity on the Trans-Canada project is not remote if road construction conditions between Eldon and Pin- ette advance to t e stage where the new lilies may be laid out and the work proceeded with.

speaking more specifically of the extension of light and power faci- lities to villages throughout the Province, Mr. Milligan said that latest; report on progress towards supplying the services to residents on the six miles of highway be- tween Montrose and in the village of Tignish, indicated that approx- imately 75 homes have asked for the service. ”A' minimum of 100 homes requesting, electric power would warrant the installation which we are willing and anxious to supply" said Mr. Milllgan.

Residents of Mcntrose, Green- mount and Si. Felix would be taken into thcnrbit of extension, should the project he proceeded with.

The work of rebuilding the line from Alberton. following the Mont- rose road, is well under way and the poles, wires and general equip- ment necessary to oomplete the new construction between Mont- rose and Ttgnish is on location at Tignish and vicinity.

"We are ready to proceed with the work provided of course that it can be started in time to avoid frost and other undesirable condi- tions before completion," Mr. Mil- ligan said.

The Tlgnish Village Commission, under the chairmanship of Mr. John Myrick, Jr. is working vigor- ously inwards bringing the instal- lation to a successful conclusion under the regulations required by the Public Utilities Commission.

Mr. Miilignn. accompanied by

. C. F. Buckingham, operating superintendent is presently engaged in making a full survey of the Company lines in the Province in order to familiarize himself with local conditions and objectives.

3 ' o X Mr. V. Leigh Dingweil (above) who recently retired from the engineering department of the Is- land Division, Canadian National Railway. He had served 36 years with the department, having en- tered the service in 1917.

In his time with the railway he had the distinction rf serving under fiveldivision engineers and four superintendents. During this period he saw the transition from narrow gauge. through the three-roll stage with its multiple switches down to the present standard gauge. The period also covered the completion of the ter- minals and piers at Borde,n and Tormentine for the existing car ferry.

A veteran of the Second World war, he was a commissioned of- ficer in A Squadron Corps Heali- quarters, Royal Canadian Armor- ed Corps. A well known singer with a rich baritone voice he was soloist at the Baptist Church

for 20 years. and of late years has been singing with St. Paul's Church Choir.

lie is a son of the late C. How- ard Dingweli who died in 1937 after completing 50 years service with the Intercolonial Railway which later became the C.N.R.

The retirement of Mr. Dingweil from the C.N.R. at such an early age is due to a permanent injury to his right leg as a'rc-suit of an accident involving a railway mo- tor car on which he was being

transported.

Although retired he continues very active and is presently en- gaged in his own business of manufacturer's agent for Fyr Fiter of Canada Ltd., Federal

Fire enterprises and C. E. Hickey 5; Sons Ltd. These permit him to offer full coverage for home. municipal and industrial fire lighting equipment.

Statement Serves

Continued from page 1 Tuesday that Russia could launch full-fledged atomic warfare in less than three years. '

Eisenhower said: "The Soviets now possess a stockpile of atomic weapons of conventional types and we must furthermore conclude that the powerful explosion of Aug. 12 last was produced by a weapon, or the forerunner of a weapon, of power far in excess of the conven- tional types."

Many Questions

When Eisenhower finished read- ing the statements. correspondents

to whether the Soviet H-bomb haz-

for defence funds and whether it wouid,afIect- the administration's goal 0-! a balanced budget. and whether his statement squared with that of Wilson's.

Eisenhower did not predict big- ger defence outlaya. The adminis- tration will try to find ways, he said. of adjusting the country's de- fences to the new kind of threat: therefore. there will not necessar- ily be an increase in the gross sums requested-there might be

shifts in priorities of the programs on which the money is spent." As for the budget. this adminis-
