Mr. Antle called the commis- sion’s attention to services lack- ing in this province but available on the maiiilaiid. “Some are con- tributing factors to these dis- crepancies in prices in Newfound- land. . .”

They included:

1. Lack of direct freight con- nections between Newfoundland and large West Indian markets.

Deputy Mines Minister Murray told-the commission Newfound- land consumers pay more for vegctables. dairy products and meat than people on the main. land because of a costly and inef- ficient transportation system. SHORT MILK SUPPLY

He said St. John's is the only Newfoundland centre that has an adequate supply. of fresh milk and this city’s 65,000 residents drink only 8,000 quarts a day. Small outport communities do without.

Milk sells here for an average of 32 cents a quart. The only two large milk producers, both in St. John’s, buy milk from farmers at‘ $9 per hundred-weight and have “a very narrow margin of profit.” .

Commission member Dr. W.M. Driimmond of Guelph, Ont., noted that the price of milk has not changed in the last three years.

Dr. Drummond said he was; "surprised” that food prices in St. John’s appeared to be so much higher than those paid in mainland centres.

“They are the highest in Can- ada,” Mr. Murray said.

He said vegetables were usu- ally shipped from the Maritime provinces or central Canada by rail. The vegetables are unloaded‘ at North Sydney, N. S., and placed on a ferry to Port aux Basques. Nfld., from where they are shipped by train to St. John’s. ‘ NARROW GAUGE PROBLEM

The loading and unloading is necessary because Newfoundland has narrow gauge railway.

Mr. Murray said on top of high freight rates there was a lot of spoilage due to poor refrigeration and handling. It all contributed to raise the products price.

Most commission members said they‘ were amazed at the high prices charged for food in St. John’s. Mrs. Dorothy Walton of Toronto who had been study- ing food prices in local papers said she was astonished.

The session here ended the first phase of the seven-member com- mission’s inquiry. Hearings re-

IN MEMORIAM

JOHN J. CUR-LEY

The people of Vernon River and vicinity were shocked and sad- dened when they learned of the sudden death on Easter Sunday, April 6, of'John J. Curley of Her- mitage. V

Mr. Curley who had gone to town on Saturday seemed in his usual good health, but when about‘to, return home in the af-_ ternoon, was suddenly stricken with a heart seizure and immedi- ately removed to the Charlotte- town Hospital. His wife was quickly at his bedside.

After receiving medical treat- ment, he appeared to rally, but, in the early hours of Easter morn, fortified by the Last Rites of the Catholic C'huvrc.h. of which he was a devoted member, his gen- tle spirit passed peacefully to its Eternal Reward, ,

Born in Village Green on June 3, 1883, he was the son of Thom-, as Curley and Jane MacDonald.‘

Fonowlng his marriage to Minute Bowlen in 1914, they took tip res-— idence in lloi=mlta;_;e.

_ By care-ftil attention to business and good farming methods, they built up a beautiful home famed for its hospitality. l-lore friend or stranger has always been sure of a cordial welcome, nor have the poor ever gone forth from it emp- ty-handed.

A man of integrity and hones- ty, he possessed a cheerful dis- position and those who were priv- ileged to live near him. knew what a kind neighbor he was. as he was always ready and willing to lend a helping hand.

One of the highlights of their

- happy life together was a trip on

their thirty fifth wedding anni- versary to Western Canada where they visited their family and other relatives.

Deceased was a devout mem- ber of St. Joachim’s Church and was active in the Choir and Holy Name Society._

Besides his sorrovving wife, there are left to mourn a kind and loving husband and father, two sons: Francis, Calgary and Alfred, Edmonton (both of W‘l'l0(l'ﬂ came home for their father‘s fun- eral), three. daughters: Mrs. Jos-

eph Hayley (Marie), Edmonton;

Mrs. John Reddin (Irene), South- port: and Mrs. Er-ic Tribible (Dor- is). Calgary.

‘He is also /survived by one bro- ther Venanc-hes,, Village Green, five sisters, Mrs. J. A. Keoughan (Millie); Avondale, Mrs. Cal Mur dock (Belle); Calgary: Mrs. Pat Lynch (Mary); Connecticut, Mrs. N. B. MacDonald (Gertrude), Somerville, Mass., -and Mrs. Jos- eph Connors, (Josephine), Som- erville, Mass.

The latter three motored home to attend the funeral which was held at Vernon River on April 9th and was largely attended.

Solemn Requiem Mass was sung by Rev. Parnell Wood, ne- phew of the deceased, assisted by

The wife and family of the late John Curley wish to express their sincere thanks to the doctors, clergy, sisters and nurses of the Charlottetown Hospital, to the staff of the Hughes Drug Co. for their prompt assistance also to the kind neighbors and friends who helped in so many ways and to those who sent masses, flow- ers, letters and messages of sym- pvathy.

Canadian Press Business Editor TORONTO (CP) — James S. Duncan of Toronto, chairman of the Dollar Sterling Trade Coun- cil, said Monday night increased British trade with Canada prob- ably would bring increased Brit- ish investment in this couittry.

Mr. Duncan, deputy leader of last fall’s Canadian trade mission to Britain, made his comment at a press conference in connection with release of the miissit0n’s re- prot.

Speaking parti-cularly of the British mission due in Canada this week, Mr. Duncan says he hopes its effect will be to give further impetus to what the Can- adian mission has done.

He added:

“We think t»liiat after the mis- sion rettirns to Britain more at- tention will be given to invest- ment in Canada.

“We hope that as more and more British ‘people visit here and understand the development taking place, there will be more tendency towards investing carp-
