He spoke of the development of ‘home stat- ions’ for battalions. meaning that each battalion would always return from duty to its own home station and this would permit of married personnel being able to leave their families knowing they would be returmd to that point. He cited the big new army camp under con- struction at Gagetown to house upwards of 7.000 soldiers with over 1.000 housing_ units for married people.

on the reviewing stand with the General was Big. W. W. Reid. D. S0,. n.D., officer commanding the list Armored Brigade.

400 Potato Growers

The 0’Leary public hall was fill- ed to capacity last night when over 400 potato grower! assembled for the second time in a series of meetings sponsored by the Prince Edward Island Federation of Agri- culture to discuss problems of the industry and we forth plebiscite.

Mr. John P. Wallace of lime- dalc , ‘ the meeting with a short. address and called on Mr. Roland MacDonald, prelidflit of the novlnclal Federation to pre- side. Mr. Donald A. MacDonald. chairman of the Potato Marketing Board gave s. comprehensive ac- count of his stewardship and the many problems facing the Board last fall in handling the potato crop. He stressed the importance of the plebiscite stating if the farmers of the province do not want a marketing board it would be dismantled.

Mr. Lincoln Dewar spoke on membership and the accident in- surance scheme sponsored by the Federation.

A great deal of discussion cen- tred around the wording of the plebiscite and in reply to a large number of queries Mr. Donald MacDonald said that only one question appears on the ballot forms which are being mailed out on May 24th to approximately 7,- 000 licensed potato growers: Are you in favor of continued opera- tion of the Potato Marketing Board?

Vote Down Second Question '

It was moved by John Rayner. seconded by Keir Ramsay, that a second question he placed on the ballot as follows: Are you in favor of a central selling agency?

After a heated discussion during which Mr. MacDonald said he would sooner see the board voted out than to have its hands tied,

Mr. Ieslie Simmons. from the audience after declining an invitation to the platform, said he was in favor of the organisa- tion and commended its efforts in

coming placing growers’ problems before

the Federal Government but he did not agree with the autocratic powers that had been -delegated to them and that there were thinls they attempted to and were allow- ed to do that should not exist in s. democ stic country. He consider- ed that potato dealers have done a world of good to the Island iri- dustry, much more than the Pats- to Marketing Board.

Although he considered Mr. Mec- Donald's agreement with Ottawa a good one this year he did not think it would be renewed next year.

niseiiss New Asnemeni

Mr. Frank Bryan asked if the board would guarantee a similar agreement with the Federal Gov- ernment this year and expressed the opinion that without an agree- ment the board had nothing to of-

fer.

Mr. Charles Yeo spoke strongly on behalf of the Marketing Board and a central selling agency and said it was entirely up to the farmers to vote for or against it but that if it was voted out some other agency in which they had no voice would likely take its place.

M.r. Ben Thomas questioned as to whether a compulsory pool would be established next year. Mr. Mac- Donald would not commit hlmseif regarding next year's policy as there are ten membe on the board Mr. Keir Ramsay also brought up the question of a com- pulsory pool and considered that Mr. Thomas should have a definite answer in order that those present would know what they were voting for.

Cost Expected To

0'I'1‘AWA, (GP)-—Both sides of the Commons Tuesday welcomed the prospect of opening up min- eral and timber wealth in north- ern Quebec and Ontario through two branch lines of the Canadian National Railways.

Transport Minister Chevrfer met no opposition as he introduced a bill authorizing the government to guarantee up to u4,m.5oo in CNR bonds for the two lines.

The largest branch line. 204 miles long, will be built into Que- bec's new Chibouggmau mining area some 50 miles northwest of Quebec City.

It will extend in an em from Beattyville. near Abitibi on the Ontario border, northeast 166 miles to Chibougamau and then south- east 130 miles to St. Pellcien, on the west side of Lake St. John at the head of the Saguenay Valley.

COSTLY l’l10JE(7I‘!

The second line will run 27 miles into the rich new Manitouwadae mining district in Northern On- tario. It will be built south from Hillsport. on the CNIR. main line about 200 miles northwest of the Lalrehead.

Extlmated construction costs are $35,000,000 for the Quebec line and $3,750,000 for the one in Ontario. However. the legislatioin provides that the CNR can exceed t-hole amounts by 15 per cent and auth- orizes temporary government loan of up to eH.5m.600 to permit con-

LATEST DIVEIDPMINTB

TORONTO. (CP)— Latest devel- opmaits in the investigation of al- leged irregularities in rosd-bulld- mg contracts brought demands Tuesday for the resignation of Highways Minster Doucett of on- tsro and for a royal commission in- quiry into activities of his depart- ment. ‘

The resignation call came from Farquhar Oliver. Ontario Liberal leader, who said earlier. that ir- regularities were more widqsreod than were at first reported.

Donald C. MacDonald. Ontario CC!‘ leader. demanded the royal commission invutfgation. no and in a letter to Premier rrost that he thinks the premier will agree “that the matter has talus on a

ueh gr-aver aspect.”

Eleven men and three compan- .ee are charged with conspiracy under section 87! of the Criminal Code. The section provides for a maximum penalty of seven years‘ iuiprisonment without option of a fine for anyone convicted of con- spiring to commit an indictable of- fence.

It was reported Tuesday six con- tracts totalling between s2.ooo.ooo isnd tahlflfi are involved but

ads are not over.

Mr. Chevricr said that the west- ern section of the branch line in Quebec will be built first, from Benttyville to Ohibougamsu. It would connect Ohlbougamau's cop- per mines with smelter at Nor- anda, Que., and two mines in the area had guaranteed a daily aver- age of 335 tons of ore concentrates for six years after completion of the line.

TAP RESOURCE!

The railway also would open up forests containing more than 30,- 000,000 cords of pulpwood. capable of sustained annual yields of about 617,000 cords. Most of the forest wealth would be tapped by the railway.

Quebec members hailed the promise of the railway into Chl- bougamau. .

Armand Dumas (L—Vilieneuve). a surveyor.. said the northern area has thousands of acres of rich farm land and more than 1,000,000 horsepower in potnnvtial power sites as well as minerals and timber.

“There will be opportunities for all, and I predict that within the next 15 years the population of that area will be well over 50,000 people."

Andre Gauthier (L—Lec st. Jean) said chfbougemsu is one of Cs.nsda‘s most promising mining areas. Its development would ben- efit the whole of the country's econom .

He urged. however. that the link from Lake at. John be started at the same time as that from Beatty- ville in the west. 'rhs CNR should build a metal refinery in the Lake St. John region to speed n-.1.-ifng development in the whole area.
