Accompanying the Premier and the Mayor to Mr. I-"curnier's of- fice were J. Watson Macriaught, Liberal member for Prince, Sen- ator J. P. Mclntyre and J. Angus

MacLean, junior member for Queen's. Premier Jones said after the

parley that Mr. For: 4 had giv-

en asurance that the Charlotte town building would ed with but could not s finite-

ly when construction would start. A building of this kind, the Min- ister told the delegation, required considerable structural steel, and under existing regulations, office buildings have a low priority for stee.

The Works Minister from the window of his office pointed to a building under construction in his own riding of Hull. across the Ottawa River from the Parlia- ment Buildings and told the P. E. I. delegation it had taken four years to get that structure started. He also said the four blocks down Wellington Street from the Far- liament Buildings. work on a new Veterans Affairs. building had been halted by the steel shortage. As soon as steel comes into rea- sonable supply and a firm con- tract can be let. Charlottetown can expect its Federal Buildings. the Minister said.

Both Premier Jones and Mayor Stewart said they felt it had been well worth while to come to ot- tswa to discuss Charlottetown lgbuc works with the

was just their first visit on this subject and that if circumstances warranted, they would come to Ottawa again to thrash the mat- ter out. This was a preliminary interview with a view to sizing things up. he said.

The Premier joked about get- ting the building started at the tune of the next Federal election.

but in more serious vein, appear- ed pleased with Mr. Fournier's ex- planation of the situation and possibilities for the future.

Mayor Stewart said he felt it had been a good thing to place the issue of the Charlottetown building before the Minister and let him know personally, the st- titude of the city on the issue. Mr. Fournier commented that his memory had been frequently jogged on the subject of the Charlottetown Federal building by W. Chester 3. Mcbure, senior member for Queen's, who had asked questions about it repeat- edly in recent sessions on the floor of the House of Commons.

Says No Floor Price On Hogs ln Marilimes

At. the. opening of the ses- sion of the Legislature yes- terday afternoon Mr. Frank Myers, First Queens. said he had been surprised to learn that there was no floor price on hogs in the Maritime Pro- vinces. he had obtained the information, he stated. from the manager of Canada Pack- ers.

His reason for asking the question was reading the re- ply in the Commons of Agri- culture Minister Gardiner on the subject. Mr. Myers said that farmers here felt they were being discriminated ag- ainst and he would like to see the Provincial Minister of Ag- riculture bring the matter to the attention of Mr. Gardiner at Ottawa .

A report that the floor price here would not come' into ef- fect until December crested sn unfair condition for our fann- ers, he thought, and gave oth- er farmers in Canada an ad- vantage over local breeders.

3 Childr-eh Tell ol Seeing Plane In gully

DALI-IDIUSIE. N.B., March 21- (CP)- Darkness forced a tempor- ary halt tonight in an investiga- tion oz it reported plane crash near this Northern New Brimswick town The search for what may be the wreckage of a Maritime Central Airways plane missing since last Saturday will be resumed at dawn.

Late this afternoon three child- ren reported having lound a "big silver plane with red wings" in s. gully about five miles south of Dai- housle.

They said that "four or five men" were in the plane, seated with their heads "thrown back."

The missing aircraft, a Dakota, was silver-colored and had red strips along its sides. It the wings were folded back, an impression of "red wings” might have been ob- tained. Five men were in the plane when it left saint John, N.B., last Saturday afternoon for Goose Bay, Labrador.

Questioners of the children were skeptical at first but -finally con- cluded the story might be more than youthful imagination.

R..c.Mi P. and other searchers went with the children to the wild lax-es of guinea and deep snow but the youngsters said they were un- able to relocate the spot:

Give Many Details

The report by two boys, aged 3 and lo. and a small girl was re- garded with reservation but one questioner said he doubted that the children could have "dreamed up anything so detailed."

one boy said he touched the plane, looked through a "round window" and saw five men inside. they "seemed to have something over their faces."

R.C.M.P. Sgt. Albert Falls. of Bathurst, was summoned to direct the search tomorrow. The area mentioned by the children is be- bind a ridge known as Dalhousio Mountain.

Wing Cmdr. P.S. Turner of the R.C.A.l". station at Chatham. N. E., said tonight it was possible that the missing aircraft could be in the Dalhousle area it it had en- countered trouble or bad weather and turned back.

Earlier this week there were re- ports of an aircraft hear ”in trouble" over chaleur Bay the

Temperance Act Amended

The Temperance Act was amend- ed in the Legislature yesterday when a bill was introduced which will permit the purchase from a. vendor's store by the holder of an individual permit of 3 month's supply at any one time instead of through purchase each week.

There was no opposition tr: the amendment as the private feeling of the memberspwas that the new measure would tend to decrease the consumption of alcoholic bev- erages through the knowledge of the consumer that he or she could miss obtaining their quota one week and still not lose it entirely.

Several members made brief com- ments on the measure. Mr. B. Earle MacDonald felt that there would be few people able to buy four bot- tles of liquor at one time. He also thought if the people did as one speaker suggested and tried to save it all up for Christmas. there would not be much sold at all.

In Exports

O'I'rAWA, March 2'? -(CP)- Sparked by s. big revival in auto- mobile sales, Canada's exports jumped 577,000,000 during Febru- ary to 3313.-100.000-the 10th suc- cessive month in which values ex- ceeded the s300,000,000 mark.

The big boost in vehicle sales pushed total automobile exports for the January-February period to 032,858,000-a tremendous ad- vance from 51,612,000 in the same period last year.

wheat exports climbed 313,000.- 000; newsprint almost 89,000,000; nickel. 30.000.000; zinc. 3'l.600,000; farm implements, 5,000,000.

the share of total exports absorbed by the u.s. dropped by 54.5 per cent from 05.1 per cent last year. Shipments to the United King. dom increased to st3.5o0.000 from 833.500.000 and to other common- wealth countries to 025,100,000 from 514,000,000.

Pioneer Are

BRANDON, Man., March 27 - (GP) - The last chapter has been written in the story-book career of a western pioneer whose fab- ulous exploits began here and carried him from the Arctic Ocean to the South seas.

He was Capt. Henry stoke Munu who died recently in the Seychelles Islands, Indian Ocean. into his 00-year life he crammed the role of a prairie horse trader. Klon- dylre banker. Rocky Mountain prospector. Ontario silver seeker and Arctic fur trader.

Among some older pioneers and traders of the Far North his name is legend and news of his death has sparked the re-telling of stories of his life.

In "Prairie Trails and Arctic Byways", Munn told how he de- cided to leave England in 1000 after university graduation. and hephasardly picked Canada or Argentina as his destination. On the flip of a coin. Canada won.

House Rules-Ate Suspended

For First & Second Reao

In a move which reportedly took even the Opposition by surprise the Government yesterday introduced a hill to increase the sesslonal in- demnity of the members of the Legislature by 5300 per session and also raised the expense allowance for travelling by s200 per session.

The increases mean that mem- bers will now receive 31,000 per session plus S500 for expenses in- curred in their attendance at the session.

There was no indication of the move when the Legislature met yesterday afternoon. but shortly before 6 o'clock, the accustomed adjournment hour, Hon. A. W. Mntheson, Acting Premier, rose and asked for suspension of Rules 52 and 53 to permit giving first and second reading to the amend-

ment to the Legislative Ass:mbly Act.
