MR. GEO. A. CALLBECK

Mr. Geo. A. Cailbeck, Manager Fur Marketing Department of the Canadian National Silver Fox Breeders‘ Association. who, Thurs- day returned from his trip over- seag. which he made in the inter- csts of Canadian ranchers who furs through the i

consign. their

Marketing‘ ‘icpartmlent gave the following: l Jresting‘ inaforunation in an int. kw yesterday.

On the London March sales of Silver Fox skins this year 95.700 skins were offered as against 83,- 000 in March 193i). 0f this large offering there was a fortydlve per- cent clearance, compared with a. forty-two per oeiit. disposal at the corresponding sale of I936, which moans that 8.000 more sicins were sold than on the March sales a. lnflr alto.

The skins offered were of Cana- dian, Norwegian and Swedish or- iglli. with also 1.260 Japanese Sil- rcr Fox Skins,

There ivus only a fuir attcndoiiize of. buyers as quite a number of English, French and American buy- crs had gone to the Leningrad Sale ] which had opened on Sunday.‘ March 7th, or one day earlier than the opening of the London auctions. This Leningrad sale continued un- til March 12th. The chief offering, there was Persian Lamb skin with‘ large quantities of ermine. red fox and white fox. The fur sales of Leningrad amounted to a tum- cver of more than five million dol- liirs. The Silver Fox offcring on this Russian sale was one oi’ 4.500' skins. These owing to high lim- its were withdrawn from the auc- tion sales but were later disposed of iby private treaty. and will ul-| tlmatcly be offered to the London; trade. '

The demand was better for the cheap goods and for those of good quality rather than for the medi- um class goods running in price from 6 pounds to lo pounds sterl-

E- ,

The trade lnfilshs on clearness. and for good three-quarter and pale silvers of good sharp color the prices were good and the de- mand strong.

Norwegian silvers on tihe whole had clearer color than Canadian skins though not of as good qual-

ity.

Mr. Callback reports very ex- tensive preparations for military eventualltles ‘in both England and France and states that the opinion rather generally shared is that war may before long break out between Germany and Russia.

In France in addition to military provision great preparations are being made for the Paris I937 Ex- position, which is scheduled to open on May first; while the mig- lish people are excelling themselves in getting things in readiness for what will be regarded as an event of Empire importance-the Coro- nation of King George S"xth. the ceremony. and the extensive and elaborate displays of which will no doubt. be memorable.

Public Service Act

Resuming committee reading of the PLlbllC SQIWICS ACt, Chg House, went through the sections and the schedule of "permanent public service pofltions" under the ac;

Mr. Jones sceptical

Before the vote on the schedule carried. Mr. Jones suggesicd that in view of the fact that there has been considerable criticism of the bill. the passing of the schedule should be deferred to a later sit- ting. when all the members would be in tliclr seats. “I know people who would vote against it," he add- ed. “There are a great many things here which from a political angle at least, should be carefully considered. I can see in that schedule of jobs a whole dozen that the Conservative party-mn- less they have had a complete change of heartr-will not lose two weeks in replacing."

Mr. Stewart: “They won't. be in a position to do it."

Mr. Jones: “If they should come in. I said suppose they come in- to existence again and get;- elected. l-Iere you have a. whole group of jobs that, they would immediately change. Here is one case of a married woman holding a position to flay, and I am certain they would be able to find a single woman or a man to take that position. I can see some appointments made recently. and it seems to me the chief cause of the parties being ap- pointed—"

Mr. Stewart: “Order "

Mr. Jones: "Was because they did a good service to the party."

Mr. Stewart: "Order!"

Mr. Jones: “And likely they wouldn't be able to hold their Jobs. I think we would be making pro- gress lf we deferred the passage of this Act until the whole House was present."

Premier Campbell: “I qultc agree with my hon. friend from Belfast, especially in the absence of the member from Georgetown (Mr. Hughes) who stated this morning his intention of voting against the bill. I have in mind that we should report progress and again go into committee in order to give any members who are not here today an opportunity of expressing their opinion on the Act as a whole. or on any sections of it which have been technically passed today. But I think, since we have passed the various pectlons, we might as Well pass the schedule too. It will be open for any member who wishes to have any particular section re- opened next week. to do so. I move the schedule."

Motion carried.

Progress was reported, the com- mittee asking leave to sit again.

Registry Act ‘

on motion of Premier Campbell the House went into Committee with Mr. Stewart. in the chair (with Mr. Jones acting later in Mr. warts absence) on the Rez- istry ct.

The Premier said the law relat- edg to the registry of deeds is in present comprised in 2'1 statutes of the province. "It. is a notorious fact that. the statutes and legisla- tion of this province have been for a great many years in urgent need of consolidation and revision. Provision wlis made for this VHS’ thing by the Saunders Govem- merit about 1929 and the business of consolidating and revising the statutes was well under way 1n 1931 when the Liberal Government went out of power. The printingthad even been advanced to a consder- able stage, and one of the first acts of the Conservative Kovem‘ merit when it came into power in 1931 was to cancel the order-in- ‘1, or whatever other author-

‘lty had been made for the revision

and consolidation of the statutes, and the result. was that the very great. amount of work which had been up to that time done and completed in connection with re- vising he statute; was lost. find cannot. now be utilized to any ex- tent because six years additional legislation has been plied on top of the legislation which was then in force. Members of the commit-

tee will probably be aware that. in

CQUN

the Dominion. of Canada, and I think the same rule holds in re- gud to legislation in all other pro- vinces. there is a coinpletc consol- Jdation and revision of the statutes carried out approximately every twenty yearn. That of course is of inestimable benefit to all con- cerned with the enforcement and carrying out of the laws of the land. On approaching the work for this year's session we found that there were several acts which urgently needed consolidation, uid on going into the matter we found that a great many of these Acts could be more effectively and probably more cheaply consolidated by being recnactcd 1n this Legis- lature. Take for example the Registry Act. contained as I said in 27 existing statutes. An office consolidation of that would be practically useless because not only were there many amendments piled on top of the others. but old pro- clamations of the original Act. were enacted and reenacted in slightly

, varied forms. The result was that

the legislation regarding the regis- tration of deeds has been more or less a matter of chaos for a great many years pBSiJ,‘ and registrars of deeds and others engaged in this work have been more or less es- tablishing precedents by using their best discretion when ques- tions would come up for decision. I realize that there has bcen in this province for a. number of years an idea that our system of regis- tering deeds should be revised and brought up to date. I am not unaware of out-of-Zabedness, as ft were, of our system. If we were starting a new Registration Act we could improve very greatly on the system which we now have. but itlsa matter of very greatdif- ficnli| to engraft a change on the system which has now been in op- eration for almost hundreds of years.. Last. year we had under consideration a proposal which I suggested to members. of a. short form of registration which would eliminate a. considerable part. of the copying which is now done. through the depositing of a dupli- cate copy of each dccd at the time of registration. If. was finally de- cided that, the disadvantage of such a system engraftcd on our present Act would outweigh the advantages. The cost to those who are register- lng deeds would be approximately the same. and while the govern- ment would lose revenue the law- yers of the province would prob- ably gain to a considerable extent. So the. advocates of government revenue carried the day over the advocates of revenue for the legal profession!"

I-IQnQMr. LeiPagie: “We seldom 0..

Premier Campbell: “I am not suggesting that the legal member of thg House stgiported the amend- ment. I think probably they were just as much in favor of re- taining the present system as the other members. I may say that the question came up in connec- tion with the reglstry of farm loan mortgages under the Canada Farm Loan Board, beacuse their mort- gages were particularly long and they were pressing for a. revision of our registry system in order that the cost of registering their loans might be reduced. But the caucus rejected the proposal as the cost would be approximately the same while the lawyers would gain at the expense of the government revenue. So that considering the matter from every angle we came to the conclusion that it was not practical at the present time to embank on any substantially new system of registration." After the passing of several sec- tions. progress was reported. The House adjourned until 3 P- m. Monday.

Taking one example of what he termed “the difference between Mr. Creightcns estimates and the actual work done," Mr. Anderson said the Chief Forester‘s report in- dlcated Scotia Lumber Company had cut 5,000 cords at GB-spereau Brook. The records of the Com- pany showed. however. that 212 cords only were cut in that area in 1934 and none in 1935 or i939.

Other Parties to Blame?

"It would appear. therefore, that there must have been some other praty or parties improperly cutting wood at Gaspereau Brook and that. Scotia Lumber Company has been held responsible for the op- eration of others,“ Mr. Anderson continued. He explained that the Company bought wood from inde- pendent cutters as well as cutting it themselves.

"I feel that, while 1 do not in any way reflect on Mr. Creightons honesty, he has inade a mistake in this matter, and that the whole question should be submitted to arbitrations; one arbitrator to be appointed by the Department of Lands and Forests. one by the Sootla Lumber Company and one to be an independent arbitrator agreed upon by the other two". the Minister suggested as he ex- plalned the assessments levied had been paid by the Company under protest.

“Pending findings of the arbit- rators. in order that. they may have an entirely free hand and in order that there may be no sug- gestion that, as a membe of the Government. I am attempting to influence their findings, Ifeel that the proper course for me to take is to tender my resignation as I. member of the Government. I part with my colleagues with the greatest. regret."

Mr. Klnley expressed surprise at the attack by Mr. Massey on Chambers. He submitted it was no disgrace to be a political can- didate. It at least showed a man was held in high regard in his community.

If the Toronto member was cor- rect in his deductions. Mr. Kinley suggested, no young man should have political ambitions or he was branded as unfit for public ser- vices.

Dr. D. J. Hartigni (Lib. Cape Bret-On South) Suggested the Fed- eral Civll Service Commission should give first consideration to the unemployed. Many young men and women, fresh from university, could be absorbed into the civil service, he said.

The Oshawa. Motor strike was sembled today by J. S. Woods- WOIUI. C.C_F. leader. He drew 5mm M11 FDEers an assurance the offices of the Labor Department would be available to assist in a. settlement.

The House went part way with the Senate on an amendment. Inflde by the Upper House to the bill to revise the accounting setup of the Canadian National Rall- ways. The Senate had proposed a. footnote be added to the canadian NB-tiimfll Railways balance sheet citing figures of all past indebt- edness of the railway to the Gov. ernment.

Twwoort Minister Howe said the figure proposed by the Senate was inaccurate and objected tothe insertion of any figure. He agreed, however. to the adding of a foot- note stating the Government's proprietors equity in the railway was included in the net. debt of Canada.

As a. significant expression of his confidence peace would continueto prevail, Police Chief Owen D. Friend of Oshawa agreed to dep- utlze 50 strikers as special con- stables.

Premier Hepburrfs position 1n the situation was assailed in g statement issued by Thompson which declared “any violence m- bloodshed will be laid directly at the door of the Premier."

"Since when has it become ille- gal for workers in a democratic country to follow whatever lead-

ership they Wish, whatever legal organization they wish or stop work whenever they want, to?" the statement demanded.

The Premier was charged with making provocative statements. His declaration of Government support for General Motors was called "fimflzintf and even criminal." Strikers were described as peace- ful and law-abiding.

Thompson hold H. press confer. ence later in the afternoon and said he had been assured theOsh- awa strikers had the full support of the U.A.W.A, in the Unltgd States. He had been speaking by telephone to Homer Martin, U_A_ W.A, President at. Detroit.

"If force is employed to break our picket lines not a car will be built in General Motors Cor-porri- tion plants in the United States until this strike is settled." he said. “I have definite information that such a. sympathy strike will be called if it becomes necessary."

Among other things, at the last annual session of our Grand Divi- sion it was learned that "The Ban-

'ner" which had been held by the

Cambridge Division. Cambridge, had been won this year by the King George Division. Murray Harbour South.

Th i Banner to lsion was entrusted to me. i rush of things I have not yet been this presentation made. I trust that in the near future I stiall be able to have this done.

Just in passing we are glad to note that the finances of our order are in splendid shape.

And now regarding the most important". phase of our work — namely the work for the future. All of our divisions throughout the whole Jurisdiction of North Am- erica ai-e planning on a. great membership campaign, so that when the centenary year of our order 1944 rolls around we shall have reached the 100,000 member- ship mark. To this goal all must lend their energies so that. all of our efforts will be crowned with success.

We of this Grand Division are looking forward to a campaign for the organizing of new divisions in the near future.

Back about. the beginning of the new year I had a letter from our Most Worthy Patriarch, Mr. H. P. Nawcombe saying that we, of this Grand Dvision could have the privilege of having the services of Rev. A. A. McLeod, theorganizer for Nova Scotia for four weeks if we would pay his travelling ex- penses. The Natlonal Division, it was understood would pay Mr. MoLeod's salary for the four weeks. At that; time Rev. Carlyle Wattcr- worth was still in the employ of the Temperance Federation and we, as one of the units of the Federation, were assisting in pay- ing his salary, as long as Mr. Wat.- terworth was at the work here. it did not look like good bllSlYlQS to ask another man to come in on the slime ground.

But. about the middle of the month of January, Mr. Watter- worth wrote me saying that he had received a call from the lead- ing church of his denomination in Saint John. NB. and that he ex- pected that he would accept this

call. I then wrote book to Mr. New-

At a meeting of the Southern Michigan circuit of Exhibitions re- cently. Lawrence O'Neill, Com- missioner of Agriculture for Mich- igan. in the course of his remarks said he believed hamem racing to be responsible in a large measure for successful fairs, and that it was a. means of stimulating commun- ity interest.‘ Breeding of horses and their ownership provided n wholesome means of entertain- mcnt and amusement. and it. is growing to be a very important phase of present day life and one which should be encouraged.

combo saying that u Mi. Wetter- worth would be leaving for Sain/ John after February 1st. that wt as a Grand Division would than it in l position to consider having tht services of Rev. A. A. McLeod f0? a. month sometime in the not far distant future but nothinfl deftl- ite was said as to the exact dot: when. he should come.

ln consultation with different memibers of the Executive it wal felt that we should have the said organizer come at a. time when he could do his best work. And as the winter is a poor season for organizing divisions on Prince Ed- ward Island it was decided that we should at least not have him come during the month of Feb!- usry.

And further as the Grand Divi- sion was to meet in the earlier‘ part of February it was agreed to leave the settling of the motto!‘ until that time.

This matter. then, according to this agreement is to be settled at this meeting today.

We trust that the best. poslbio time for a successful campaign will be agreed upon.

But. let us not forget that the coming of the organizer, whenever it may be, will not in any way, lessen our individual responsibil- ities for the advancement of our work.

Whsneve he may come be it sooner or later. let us remember that there is much work to bl done by our members, and that our individual tasks await us all.

The question for each of us then is. have we each really felt our individual responsibilities and af- ter having done so. has it also come home to us that. our time for action is now fast slipping away.

If these things have really grip- ped us. are we now ready to take up arms against this great. evil. and never to rest until the rum curse has become a thing of the dead past?

This is the question then that is facing each of us. What shall our mswe be?

May we then, one and all real- izing fully that a full quarter of the present Grand Division year has already gone by and realiz- ing also that the present with all of its golden opportunities is even now fast slipping away, never. never to return-may we each and all in response to the call. to at once undertake some hard self- denylng task required to farther the cause of temperance—the cause of all mankind-say, from the depths of our hearts, “Here am I, send me. send me."

Private Marque in the 2.16 pace. I am giving the summary of the first day's races. Old Home Week, Charlottetown July, 1925, to settle an argument between parties, one of whom claimed that Prince Mac never won a race. According to the newspaper account which foi- lovws. he very nearly succeeded in keeping his record at zero.

2.27 Trot, 2.30 Pace-Purse $500.00

This race brought out no less than nine starters and was a. very difficult field to get away. It fill-rushed a. mnnber of surprises and went to five heats before be- ing finlshed and was eventually won by Prince Mac. This horse has had a rather unlucky career. He has been racing for three years but yesterday wasthe first day that he ever connected with a win race. He generally struck bad luck or did the wrong thingin some part. of the race. Yester- day he tried to repeat. lils old per- formance but eventually managef to win first money. ‘
