The mayestic language seemed cut of place in a tender love story. It soon returned in full tide to books about the Boer war and the Sudan campaign in which the author's brilliant career was at- most cut short by a Dervish's spear at Omduram.

The prose rolled on into bios- raphies of Churchill's famed an- cestor, the Duke of Marlorough. and his father. Lord Randolph Churchill. Crlllcs, reviewing a new edition of iilc latter work last year. said it was "lhc finest political biography written in the 20th cen- tury.”

Out Offrlnl

But their judgement came after Churchill had risen to his lower- ing position in public life, His pop- ularity as an author was not so great In the early years. Many of the youthful attempts are out of print. and eagerly sought as col- lector-s' items.

Churchill wrote a classic four- volume history of the first world way under the title of "The World Crisis." In 1990. he peeked beck- wards on his own career-already a full one as soldier and states- man-in an autobiography called "My Early Life."

Throughout: the Second World War. his speeches were compiled and published yearly in book form. but the-vpremier'a greatest writing effort. came at the end of hos- tilities.

Police Drag Marsh in Efforts To Locate Missing iiinross Man

Mr. James Boyce Martin of home since -October 2nd. and at- tempts of relatives. friends and police to locate him have. to date. been unsuccessful.

R. C. M. P. officers have been dragging the waters of Fullerton's marsh in an effort to locate his body, should he be drowned in that area. Police report that Mr. Martin left his home on the morn- ing of the second; his iibandoned car was located near the bridge over the marsh. Dragging operat- ions ln this area are severely ham- pered by the swlft moving current which flows through at incoming and outgoing tides.

A description of the missing man is as follows. 52 years of age. 6 ft. 2 ins., brown hair, brown eyes, slender build but wide shoulders. when last seen he was wearing a blue Jacket, dark grey trousers and brown oxfords.

seed Potato Show At Winter Fair

Now that the plowing matches and the local 'agrlcultura.l shows are over and the harvesting of the potato crop is well under way, many potato growers will be look- ing forward to the Seed Potato Show at the Maritime Winter Pair in Amherst. which this year proves to be bigger and better than ever.

This year. the Rihm and llaas Company of Philadelphia. through the efforts of the Prince Edward Island Potato committee. are for the first time offering a special Prize of a 25 gal. drum of dithaue D-14 valued at 358.75.

Last year, island exhibitors brought home a total of '78 regular and. 20 special prizes and no doubt. again this year will see the potato Krowers of this province putting forth every effort to bring honzir to Prince Edward Island and to themselves by exhibiting some of the finest seed potatoes that can be grown anywhere.

instructions regarding the set- ection and care of the exhibits have been forwarded to seed grow- FT5 throughout the Province by the Potato Committee for Prince Edward Island. All entries mugt reach the office of the Seed Cert- ification Branch not later than October 30th.

Survey Shows

Continued from page I

we are of opinion that even this amount is inadequate in view of the final salary nature of the pen. sion benefits under which a sm.1ll' increase in salaries pyramids ihei cost of the pension plan. When compared to the 10 per cent aci- ually paid to the fund, it is ap- parent that major changes will have to be made in the plan. either by adjustment in benefits or increases in contributions.

"We favour. if at all practicable, an increase in contributions ra- ther than a reduction in promised benefits. However. if benefits Ihave to be reduced. the first step might. be to provide less than full credit for service before Oct. 1, 1949, when no employee conmbu. tions were made.”

Sound Pension Financing

In speaking of sound pension financing the report slates that employees are concerned that their pensions when due will be paid without question and embar- rassment to anyone: the em- ployer, if a private one, is con- cerned that the annual pcnsion cost will not render him insol- vent. A public employer must. be sure the plan will be ngrccd to by the elected persons and the taxpayers they represent.

On this theory the employer should arrange financing in such a way that his annual cost re- mains fairly level and is related in any one year to the pcnsions earned in that year. From the employees' point of view financing should be arranged to assure ac- cumulation of sufficient funds to pay all pensions due employees and pensioners on account of service to that date. if at any time the plan is terminated and future contributions stopped.

it is suggested that the city amortize the 5187.000 deficit. over

a definite period in addition to paying the cost for future ac- cruing pensions. in lclliniz of tlic

approximate cost of servicing this debt the report says it orilzinnlctl from inadequate contributions prior to December 31. 1952.

Deficit; (lhnrgea

Explaining the mclhods of ar- riving at charges for taking care of the deficits the report states it is based on the assumption that no salary increases would be given this year. it added that if benefits under the plan have to be decreased the first step might be to provide less than full credit for service before October 1. 1949. when no employee con- tributions were made.

At the same time it points out that the pension fund for em- ployees who were over the age of 85 on October 1, 1949 also has a deficit amounting to 566.700.

As set up originally, according to an analysis contained in the actuarial report. the plan provirirs each full lime employee complet- ing l0 years service a retirement pension at age 65 for men and 60 for women of two percent. of the final salary for each year of ac- credited servlce. The latter, how- ever, is not to exceed .15 years for any employee.

The plan also provides for a disability pension in event of an employee retiring because of ill health, and the payment to the i widow of a male employee. dw- ing her widowhood, of 50 percent
