a.‘ pro-season,

the Legislature since E. Ilacdon-i

given in the House of Commons on March 18:

Mr. McI.ure: On Wednesday last I was anxious toask a~ques- tion of the Minister of 'l‘ran.wort. I hesitated quite a while because it had to do with reefer cars. I want to_,explain why I asked the question. The question was' as follows. as is reported at page SM of Hsnaard: "Will the Minister ad- vise. instruct and demand that the Canadian National Railways pro- vide reefer cars for the shipment of potatoes and. turnips fronts Prince Edward island‘! The short- age of reefer care at the present time is the greatest they have ex- perienced in years."

The Minister answered in this way, as reported at page 588 of l-lansard: .

"I should like to deal with a question asked yesterday by the hon. member for Queens. It had to do with the supply of reefer cars and part of it was to this ef- fect." v

Then he read the question I ask- ed. Pollowing that he said:

“I promised the hon. member that I would get a report from the Canadian National Railways. I am advised by them today that there are 454 reefer cars on hand or in transit for Prince Edward Island traffic."

They might have been five thous- and miles away and still have been in transit.

"This total is made up as fol- lows: Cars on P.E.l., 292; in tran- sit at Cape Torrnentine, 43; Mone- ton, 30; Truro, 22; Campbellton, 22: Monck. 45. Total. 454.

“Officers of the Canadian Na- tional Railways report that a sat- isfactory position as to reefer cars is considered to be around 800. When it exceeds this figure there is danger of transportation diffi- culties ar’-' in connection with the movement of the care. There- fore my hon. friend can see that there is no shortage of cars. On the contrary. the situation is a good cne."

lad Oerreet Information

The onus was placed upon my shoulders when it was suggested that I had given wrong informa- tion and did not have the facts of the case. However. while at that time I did not reply, I knew I had the correct information, and really felt sorry that the minister had been so misinformed. or that he had received the wrong informa- tion from someone.

Since that time the Minister has received the real information. and now he realizes. whether he wishes to admit it or not. that I was correct. The greatest short- age of reefer cars that ever exist- ed at this season of‘ the year is there at the present time.

Mr. Chevrier: I cannot allow that statement to go unchallenged.

Mr. McLure: You will have an opportunity as soon as I am through. I shall only take a mo- mcnt.

Mr. Chevrlsr: If the hon. mem- ber would allow me: I said I could not allow that statement to go un- challenged. The statement I put on the record included figures and facts given to me by the Canadia National Railways. I believe them to be correct. They have inform- ed me that there is no shortage .of reefer cars on theleland. I have to accept that statement, and I think the hon. membe should.

too.

Mr. MoI.ure:' it is a good story. anyway. The Minister would have to accept it, too. were it not for the protests from the potato and turnip marketing assoclatio I believe they wired him. and they send me a copy of the wire. I believe I have here the reply the minister sent to them. in which he admitted that he did not realize the conditions were so bad.

Mr. Chevrier: I made no admis- sion in the telegram.

Mr. Mcl‘..ure: Perhaps I had bet- ter read it.

Some hon. Members: Time.

Mr. Deputy Speaker: Order. I am sorry to interrupt. but the hon.

Mr. Gibson: What paper are you ate

Mr. Chevrier: Let him finish his speech.

Mr. Deputy Speaker: Has the hon. member unanimous consent‘!

some hon. Members: Agreed.

Minister's leply

Mr. McLure: Thank you. gentle- men. This is the minister's reply to the potato and turnip market- ing association:

"Re your telegram. A.m unable to understand situation described. Canadian National assures me sup- ply refrigerator cars reasonable and that they will have no diffi- culty in moving the balance of the crop. Any empty refrigerator cars are being sent from central regions to take care needs in Maritime Provinces. Would ap- preciate receiving any additional information which you may have."

They proceed. then. to give this information which. I believe, was sent by letter. They say that at the present time it would take 2.000 reefer cars to move the crop that is there ready to bewmoved. While the price is not good. yet. they do not want to see the sup- ply destroyed. As one of the big- gest shippers said. it would take 50 cars every day for the next 40 days to clean up the freight that is there ready to be transported.

l id not swish to bring this mat- ter u . but any time I have spoken with referenceto, the reefer cars it was always, as I thought, in the interests. of the Minister of Trans- port. the railway and the people of Prince. Edward Island. No man can ever prove against me that i would ever place on record any figures referring to this situation which were not founded on the best possible facts. I hope this matter will be cleaned up and that our people will have made avail- able to them sufficient cars to move the potatoes and turnips sti'l unsold.

Summer Arrives in London shops Vlitii ilcw Frocks

LONDON. March 18 — (CP) _ In spite of price-increase forecasts summer dresses are already'sppear- ing in London shops at lower prices than last year's.

In blustering March winds and rains, coollittle candy-striped cot- tons snd linens: floral prints and Paisleys tempt the eye of the pass- er-by with prices as low as 133. Ed. ($2.90) for a simple teen-age ging- ham check.

This sudden pre-Easter sprout- ing of summer ‘ hions is the stores‘ provision against another heat-wave. Last "year's sudden blaze left them ‘ ‘ ‘ ' gup- plied for the heavy demand--and they don't intend to be caught twice.

on stormy days, the people saw- ed and split plenty of wood to keep the home fires burning, for it was hard to start a fire once it had burned out. They never fished or hunted when a big storm was raging; but they had plenty to do about the home. Mother and daughters got out the best silver- ware and scrubbed and polished .it till it shone like a mirror; the menfolk clean ‘ their guns and told tall stories. sometimes father or mother would write a letter to some poor wretch who lived in the city like an egg in an incuba- tor, or again. all the family might play a game of hearts or cribbage.

Living in those olden days had its advantages. How good the sup- per must have tasted when it was served on a tin plate. with a crude table and benches for seats! It was like a picnic with ten or fifteen children seated beside their par- ents, and every one of them as hungry as wolves on account of their living out-of-doors so much.

As yet, the axe had not robbed the forests of their glory. Nature lay about them lovely a.nd-~un- spoiled.
