I IICIC lla-

of unstain-

merit int evening. as the annual

ea or Wain Variety show was ,m,,d in the College auditorium,

A rhythm hsud composed of aeri- ” Model school students opened the show with two numbers. and .30 performed I highland dance. The capable master of on-emoniee umugihoiit ilhe show, Garth Crock- M, was at this point joined on me by three more vocalists, Barry gem, Gordon Jenirim and Carlyle Phillips, forming a quai-tette. which ,1.) found great favour with the audience.

Basil Phillipa, who is rapidly be- coming known as a very fine young violinist. played two selections, ac- comiitmled by Mrs. KB. Rogers. An Indian magician created a bit of stir when he appeared on stage. and even more ohs and she of sur- prise were heard when he caused I body to rise horizontally into the air no apparent means of propul- gion. However, he was proved to be . fraud. The Swami and the body were Frank Currie and Shelton Adams.

Miss Lsundirene Wood was heard in a touching rendition of a very popular song. winning for her the prolonged applause of the audience. She was accompanied by Pat Mac- Donald.

The Prince of Wales College Glr1s' Ensemble, 9. group of girls who are directed by Miss E. Lil- lian Macxenzie, and whose public mpeiir-ances, all too infrequent, sung three delightful songs, with- out accompaniment, and they were fuilowcd by Wilma Wood and Rob- 921 Cracks playing a piano solo.

Parade of Fashions

One of the mhligihts of the even- ir; was the presentation of the P. W. C. Parade of Fashions. The plil'8de was announced by Jean Diamond, but her detailed descrip- tion of each of the very up-to-date i.-ostumes was just about drowned out as the audience loudly express- ed its appreciation of the models, viho glided on and off the stage and displayed their charms in a i'il:inflEI' that would have done cre- dit to a Paris mannequin. The nit-dais were Briar Chandler, West- on Carmody. Joe Reveli. Barry B-Ms, Nils Hansen and Don Mac- Leon.

A boys' oofcttc, directed by Mrs. Edwin Joihnsune, and a grand fin- ale with the whole cast singing a rousing college song, brought a grand show. which was packed with nonsense and laughter from start to finish. to an end.

The stage directors and produc- ers were Ruth Currie, Johanna MacDonald, Robin Houston and Garth Crockett. An agent, thought to be looking for talent. and who created a surprise when he tum- ed out to be a prominent figure in the current hockey dispute, was Alan Scales. and a Joker who, much to the amusement of the audience, kept intruding in the show, was Rory Lan-tz.

Discusses Mental Illness At Rotary

"As the knowledge of mental ill- ness develops, it has been found that what was discovered to occur i.n emotionally disturbed people, oc- curs in lesser degree in every per- son no matter how normal he ap- pears", said Dr. A. A. Mnicvicar in addressing the Rotary Club at their weekly luncheon at the Cliai-lotte- town Hotel yesterday.

Dr. Maevlcar, who is Associate Director of Mental Clinic in deal- ing with "Some Aspects of Modern Psychiatry" continued "Using what was found to occur in individuals, investigation has since been extend- ed to groups of indiivviduuls to me whnt was hnmrening between in- dividuals in every-day situations. You may have heard the name for it, - group dynamics. This involves industry, the armed servica. racial culttures, service clubs, factories and hospital staffs.

"At present. there is a study be- ing made of Digby County, N. S. by psychiatrists, sociologists, anthro- pologists. psychologists, social work- ers and of course statisticians.

The failure of the Provincial Goveruunnt to pay out loans to lohlter fishermen to compensate than for losses suffered in the storms of last May was explained in the Lqiaisture yeaterdsy by Hon. Eugene Cullen. Minister of Ind I; and Natiral Resources.

Mr. Cullen stated that though he had at least two conferences with Federal officials in Ottawa and received certain assurances, when his started to work on the matter he found that we had "no basis for a Justified claim".

The losses, he said, were just above the normal in "the Tignish area though they were consider- ably higher in Ruetlco. However, he also pointed out that in Tig- nlsh the fishermen enjoyed the biggest catch and the greatest amount of money in the past five years. He also said despite the losses in Rustico fishermen there took in the second highest catch in nva years.

Mr. Cullen stated that individ- ual boats were setting out many more traps than in past years and quoted ngures to indicate that the number had grown from the 215 traps per boat. in 1932 to 325 in 1961.

Equipment Figures

He also quoted the number of traps set out and recovered in the three sreas,pa.rticularly affected. In Tignish North there were 15,321 set out and 10,561 recovered for an approximate 30 percent. loss. Tlgnish South had 13,075 traps out and 8,424 recovered for a loss of 35 percent. The Rustlco area set. out 13,142 and were able to recover only 6,416 for a loss of over 49 percent. He said that a

loss of around 30 percent was normal. - The total catch of lobsters,

which he termed the "backbone of the fisheries", was 8,459,000 pounds last year. In 1948 it had been 6,- 520,100 pounds and the only time since then it had been higher was in 1950 when the total catch rose to 9,098,000 pounds.

Mr. Cullen said that Federal aid for the lobster-men could have been received if he had been will- ing to state the situation constit- uted a dlsast. beyond the power of the Province to deal with, But he added that he had been iii- formed that the Federal authori- ties would share in any losses to the Province resulting from loans t fishermen.

. Development Policy The Minister read a letter re-

The need of a. loan policy whereby fishermen could obtain money to get back into business after losing much of their equip- ment was urged in the Legislature last night by R. R. Bell, Leader of the opposition as he rose to take part. in the budget debate.

Mr. Bell pointed out that in Nova Scotia. there is a policy whereby the Provincial Govern- ment will provide 50th; of the loan and the Dominion Government the other 5095. for a period cover- ing three years.

He advised the Island Govern- ment to adopt a similar policy and reminded them that the fish- ermen at Itustico last spring had suffered a loss of 4915. of their gear. He said that the Rustico men were ready to take on that loss but they wanted some time to make it up and this could be done by a three year loan.

The Leader of the Opposition referred to the Budget as the "Darby Surplus of 1953”: He went on to charge that the various Ministers had kept back money allocated to them last year so that there might be a surplus this year.

He charged that part of the sur- plus was created at the expense of teachers and the aged. Mi. Bell stated that the Premier re- frained from spending s30,000 in the Department of Education al- though the money was voted in the estimates last session and that the Minister of Health and Wei- fare kept back s168,000 voted to spend on the needy between the ages of 05 and 70.

In his discussion on Old Age Assistance, the Leader of the Op- position stated that the people in this Province were not treated nearly as well as those in Nova sootia or New Brunswick. "In those pi-oviinoea they get from :35 to :37 a month while here they get 322.00", he stated. He suggested that the Government be a little more generous to them.

Refer: To Deflclla

Mr. Bell stated that he was de- lighted to see that the Government buqeted for a surplus this year but reminded the members of the records of the past years when an- nual deficits of a million or more dollars were incurred and of the deficits which the Government was ihcing in the years ahead. He pictured the next four years as years of heavy expenditures he- esuae of the Trsrie Canada High- way oornmitmerits. the bridges that must be built and because the hand cuts from Ottawa had now reached their peak and could be expected to decline from here on in. . I The under cf. the Opposition Droboaed that the Government take over the Maritime Electric Comp- any. He suggested that the com- pany could be purchased for Ni.- 000.000 and that the Government could spend another 50,000,000 to provide electricity for the whole province.

He stated that the time would come when the vecurure would prove profitable and that borrowing the

Aid To Lobster Fishermen

Legislature

ceiviffroui the Pilheriaa Devel- opment Committee v,”ich stated that the committee being primar- ily ooncemed with long range measures for the development of fisheries did not cmsider the problem of immediate relief with- in its proper field. It noted that the damage to equipment by storms was one aspect of the problem of social security for fish- ermen. ,

The letter said that the com- mittee did not consider the ag- gregate losses of lobster fishing equipment last year to constitute s disaster on the national or even Provincial level, but it recognized that considerable hardship was suffered by individual fishermen. lt suggested that any relief given in special cases should be given by a Govunment agency concern- ed with reliet rather than through one which is connected with fish- eries. Or it might. be done through loans to restore the earning power of a. fisherman by enabling him to purchase the same number of traps he formerly had.

However, the Minister said that he had investigated the four worst cases in the Tignish area and found that in three of them the fisher-rnen did not even own the

traps lost; they belonged to a packer. In the fourth case the man had stopped fishing. One

case in Rustlco showed that the fisherman had suffered a severe loss and as a result landed only about one-third his normal catch.

But Mr. Cullen said that in view of his investigation generally he could see no reason for the formation of a general policy on the basis of these records.

carapace Measurement

He paid high tribute to the people of Rustico when he said "they are law-abiding fishermen. not poachers". while he was dis- cussing changes in the carapace measurements of lobsters. At. the same time he remarked that Prince County had the lowest average of market size lobsters on the East Coast of Canada. He said that the, change to caruipace meas- urement from the previous over- all length was made to conform with the selling requirements in Massachusetts and Maine.

Mr. Cullen maintained that the larger lobsters were allowed to grow the fewer it took to make a case for the canners and far fewer were required in June than in May. He believed that they had an excellent chance to grow last spring and for that reason pre-

dlcted I. good catch this year.

Need Of Loan Policy For Fishermen Stressed By Leader Of -Opposition

necessary amount of money to fin- ance the project would not affect the credit of the Province. He stat- ed other Provlncu were doing the same thing and pointed out that Manitoba had only recently pur- chased a 352,000,000 plant.
