Soft Drink Price . Increase Announced

TORONTO. Jan. 23 -(OF) - A soft drink price increase from six to seven cents a bottle was an- nounced today by several large manufacturers.

Drink: to which it applies in- clude Coca Cola, orange Crush and Seven-Up. Canada Dry Ginger Ale in small bottles also goes up to seven cents but the price of large bottles is P ed.- How- ever. most brands will sell at six bottles for 36 cents.

The seven-cent price includes one cent Federal tax. . .

spokesmen for the manufactur- era said that the increase. which they believed wos general and country-wide. was due to rising costs of materials and labor. one ssld the 30-per-cent Federal sales tax imposed several months ago reduced volume sales more than the government expected and the drop narrowed the margin of prof- it. - -

"Abegweit", it was learned here today.

Construction of the new Capo Breton-Newfoundland ship imple- ments a clause of the agreement whereby Newfoundland enterei Confederation.

While maximum power of the new ship will be 8,000 horsepower. collective power of the Abcgwetts engines is 12,000. The Abegwelt's length between perpendiculars is 348 feet. while that of the New- foundland ship is 320. Deadweight. carrying capacity of the Abegwelt is 2,000 tons compared to 1,800 for the planned vessel and its speed lo knots compared to the other's 15.

Auto Accommodation

. since the new ship will carry no railway cars as the Abegweit does, it will load 75 automobiles compar- ed to the Prince Edward Island ship's 60. Loaded draft Vt the Abegweit is 19 feet compared to ill for the ship to serve the Cabot Strait run.

These figures, obtained from the Department of Transport today. show clearly that the Abegweltis still queen of the ferry-vessels of Canada and ranks high for this type of carrier in the world.

In construction of the new vessel to serve Canada's tenth Province, it is taken into consideration that the freight load will not be nearly as great as that carried constantly by the Abegwelt. Newfoundland has comparatively little to export to other Canadian Provinces. its goods such as newsprint, fish and fish products being sent; to other countries.

Will Colt 84.500300

Estimated cost of construction of the new ship is 94,500,030. While this is close to the overall cost of the Abegweit. the Transport De- partment points out that the price of steel has almost doubled since the new Prince Edward Is- land forry's keel was laid at sorel in 1914. Other materials and labor costs have advanced heavily since that time. so that the figures can- not easily be compared.

when the Newfoundland ship is built and put into service. it will be operated by the Canadian Nat- ional lullwsys. The former North ney-Hort-Aux-Basques ship. 8. 8. Cabot will.be diverted to the aids of navigation branch of the Transport Department where is will serve lighthouses and isolated shore points on the Atlantic sea- board.

By Tom Ochiltree LONDON. Jan. 23 -(AP) - Prime Minister Attlee today urg- ed a watchful wait.-and-see policy by the United Nations toward Red China in the hope that a peaceful settlement in Korea is yet pos- sibie.

In a policy statement cheered by the House of Commons, the Prime Minister said Britain agrees the stark facts in Korea warrant tcondemnlng Chinese intervention in support of an aggressor.”

But he said the U. N. "should not at this stage take is new and important decision" embodied in a United States resolution naming Communist China herself an out- right aggressor.

He also said he does not approve another part of the U. S. resolut- ion. The tine has not come to consider "further measures"-that is sanctions. which might include economic. political or military act- lOi'l.

The first week of July is the time during which festivities are to be held, and Brig. Reid suggest- ed this would be a good year to start in order to lay the ground work for in huge celebration in 1958 which is the 100th annivers- ary of the City of Charlottetown.

The program for the week which had been suggested by the origin- al planning committee. included such features as street dancing every evening frcm Monday to Saturday. the decoration of streets and stores, an air exhibition. and a display of old historical relics of this Province.

Features for each day were slig- gested. including:
