P111116. operated by the Bprinshiii Flying Service, took off from Charlottetown about 5.15 last evening in clear Weather. Shortly after, however, snowfiur. Tl" b98811 and later heavy snow fell for a few hours. The plane Wes to have proceeded. to its River Phiip base. near Sprlnghill, an ol-r distance of approximately 50 miles.

Aboard the plane was Pilot Alex Ballantyne, his wife, and Jame,- ill/liaison. a passenger, all of Spring-

In making the flight the plane would normally cross Northumber- land Strait, some 15 to 18 miles wide at that point.

Over Bordon?

A heavy snow was falling at thc River Philip field at, the time and Mr. Carter salad he believed the pilot had turned back and intenti- ed landing at. Summerside.

Officials on duty at the summer- slde airport reported that no planes had landed there lasbnight. The small Stimson had radio communi-

set w id. probably beacf little use becau of the static caused by snow.

otriiiais of Paul's Flying, Ser- vice here said that plans were being made to begin an organized air search a-fter daylight today. Two planes from Paul's Service will participate. In addition the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Air Traffic Control at Moncton have been notified. Re- quests for information were broadcast frequently last night.

The fact that the plane was miss- ing was learned in Charlottetown when a message was received about 9 o'clock last night from Sprlnghill, asking if the plane had left. It came here ln the afternoon for servicing. a routine c oration, and carried enough gasolne for about two ho-urs. The flight—an air- line distance of 60 miles-nor- mally would not take more than 45 minutes.

Four Years Ago Rccallled

The search for the plane recalls that four years ago, almost to the day. four men from a Royal Can- adian Air Force plane parachuted of Northmnberiand Strait and spent five days there beers they were picked up by the Oar I'm-y. The men abandoned trier plane when the gas supply ran low after they became lost in had weather. on: anti-submarine patrol they had been ordered in to Charlottetown when weather clos- ed down their manlaitd base. They were unable to find the feid here and jettisoned their depth charges north of the City bcforo heading back to the mainland. The ferry picked them up on March 1.

The order of three million bush- els of potatoes for the British Ministry of Food is now in process of loading. Mr. .1. w. Boulter. chairman of the P.E.I. Potato Ex- Dort Board. reported at a large and representative meeting of potatosshlppers and others inter- ested lln the potato industry, held yesterday afternoon in the Cana- dian lseglon hall.

The first five steamers. each taking from sixty to_ one hundred cars at Saint John, N.B., have

b91311 flamed. Mr. Boulter slid. These are large steamers and the potatoes constitute only a small portion of the cargo, The first. the 8.5. Treweilard, taking 88 cars, n due to load from March 5 to 13.

Price to Grower

The price paid to the; farmer for 100 rounds of potatoes at the car is $1.15. bags supplied to the grower by the loader. This is equivalent to 58 cents a bushel at the car.

Mr. Boulter, who presided at yesterday's meeting, explained why the Board was formed and stated that thc authority vested in rt by the Agricultural Products Market- ing Act was almost unlimited. He peld tribute to the members or the Board and especially to Colonel G. E. Full whose efforts since the beginning of the floor movement last October have been of the greatest value.

Those present were supplied wrth copies of regulations setting out the duties and responsibilities of the shippers. instructions for blit- l-ng and a fonn of contract to be signed by those wishing to par- ticipate in filling the British order.

The policy of the Board is an- nounced elsewhere in today's Guardian.

Other Shipment: Discontinued ‘

It is imperative, Mr. Boulter said, that all table stock shipments to Canada and the United States be discontinued, as only in this _way could regular shipments to Saint John be maintained.

All potatoes for the British order, he said, should be graded as tablestock. The purchase is for Canada No. 1 tsblestock grade and all cars must be inspected by the tablestouk inspector even though graded for seed. as it is necessary to have a certificate from the Fruit and Vegetable Branch to cover the entire cafio or cargoes.

Many questions were asked and explanations were given based on present knowledge of the agree- ment.
