TIIBUIE T0 p"AGBICOLA" - In the L:gislature'last evening a warm tribute of ppreciation was paid to the late Mr. Blythe Hurst. Sr.. by Mr. Philip Matheson (P.C.- 2nd Queen's). "In his passing this Province has lost one of its great- est men," he said. stating that one could not be five minutes in Mr. Murst's presence without feeling ivery humble. He referred to his writings under the penname of "Agricola" and suggested that the records kept over so many years by this great student and educa- tor should be secured and placed where they will he of value to future generations.

All train traffic over the Hills. boro Bridge has been ordered stop- ped. it was learned hbre last night from railway authorities.

Word to the effect that use of the bridge was to be discontinued was received from the Board of Transport Commissioners, Ottawa. A survey had been carried out on the bridge a short time ago. '

The inconvenience that the clos- in-g of the Hlllsboro Bridge to rail traffic would cause the popula- tion south of the Hillsiboro Riv- er was stressed in the Legislature yesterday afternoon by speakers during a discussion on the matter.

Several speakers urged that the matter be brought to the atten- tion of the authorities immedi- ately. Although no resolution was taken all members stated that they would work together for the common good of the Province in the matter.

Premier J. Walter Jones stated that he presumed the people of Cardigan, Murray Harbour, Bel- fast and Fort Augustus will de- mand that the new bridge be con- structed as soon as possible and the railway services restored.

He stated that he had been talk- ing to Mr. Donald Gordon, Presi- dent of the C.N.R. last spring and that Mr. Gordon had told him that they intended to abandon the bridge for rail traffic.

The monthly meeting of the Trinity Men's Association was held blast evening in the Trinity Church Hall.

,N0Il'ly 40 years of train traffic over the bridge ended with the ban. The first crossing was made by a shunter on the evening of Oct 24. 1905 and the next day a. assenger extra went to Murray Harbour and back from Charlotte- town.

The new order is not expected to interfere with train services. The only service that may be effected is that to the passengers as their trips will be lengthened. .

Freight hauls from localities like Mount Herbert will be continued in the same manner as present. The trains will back down from Ltikt: Verde: D1010 up the freight and cross

in negotiatingtha present tax ag- reement at Ottawa, this Province was first offered 02,000,000, "which was both a maximum and a min- imum, and was not tied to an es- culaior clause as were the mini- mums of the other rrovlnces."

Later on, Mr. Hughes said. he was able to .offer "a crude. imper- fect fiscal statement." based on the data then available. on which he succeeded in having the Island minimum raised to 32,100,000 and the esoulato clause of the agree- ment made applicable to this min- imum. "The increase obtained by even this imperfect fiscal need for- mula will amount to more than two and one-half million dollars during the term of the agreemeiit." he said.

Speaking in the-Draft Address debate, Mr. Matheson warned that "ithe more services that are pro- vided by the Government, the more people expect for nothing."

He gave an extensive review of health activities cornmencin- with polio treatment and including the facilities at the new Public Health Centre. the Sanatorium, dental and mental health and welfare ser- vices.

"There were '77 polio cases, 80 per cent of which occurred in Queens County in the past few months," he stated. Seven deaths resulted and 21 victims apparently recovered completeily. 42 cases were treated in hospital and one school was closed.

"61 of the cases were in Queens County with 23 of them being in Charlottetown. There were 13 cases in Prince County and the remaining three in Kings. 27 children under six years of age were effected but no deaths re- sulted. In the age group from seven to sixteen there were 34 cases with two deaths. 13 cases occurred in the age group from 17 to 25 and iihere three cases in people over 25 years of age."

"Farmers may not have a great deal of cash in their pockets but their standard of living is the high- est ever", stated Hon. 0.0. Baker. Minister of Agriculture, during the debate on the Draft Address in the Legislature yesterday.

He added that farmers were not in any such terrible straits as arg- ued by the Pnosition. As eviden- ce of their prosperity he noted that there were 1,300 more automobiles registered in 1950 than in 1049, and a large increase in the registration of trucks in the same year.

In his address Mr. Baker gave an extensive review of the activities conducted under his department. These included field and root crops. livestock, cold storage plant. and Falconwood farm. ,

The 1950 crop year was favourable as far as field crops were ” he stated. The hay crop was a bit below that of the 1948 and 1049 crops but he estimated that it compared well with the crops over the past ten years.

There were 1.200.000 more bush- els of grain produced in 1950 than in the previous year. He believed that the Province could produce as much every year without affect- ing the fertility of the soil. The acreage of wheat was increased over that of 1940, the oat acreage was the same. and the barley acre- age was down.

"We ought to be looking for some Way to import grain here other than by the railway," Pre- mler .1. Walter Jones stated in the Legislature yesterday after- noon while discussing the recent decision of the Dominion Govern-

ment to cut the freight rate as- sistance on grains.

Premier Jones thought the grain might -be brought down here by boat and stored in silos. "I would welcome any resolution to remind the members in Pur- llament to fight for the subsidy.” he stated.

He stated that under the agree- ment the subsidy was to be con- tlnued until July and if that were the case money, for the as- sistance would come under the supplementary estimates in the House of Commons: The subsidy. he stated, amounted to 38.00 a ton.

The discussion was opened by the Leader of the Opposition, Mr. R. R. Bell who asked what act- ion the Government was going to take to counteract the slash in assisance in freight rates.

Hon. C. C. Baker. Minister of Agriculture. stated. during his speech on the draft address, that he was advised during the Do- minlon-Provincial Conference at Ottawa that the assistance was to be discontinued.

He stated that he pressed on Mr. Gardiner. the necessity of con- tinuing the assistance and asked that the farmers be assured of this asslsiance'at least a year in advance.

Mr. Gardiner. he stated. was not sure who was benefltitng from the program. "Lfoldihim that if the assistance were dropped it would mean an increase of 53.00 ll ton more to the Prince Edward Islander farmer and that he would have to go out of busi- ness."

THURSDAY

Hls subject dealt with the work and methods of the French impressionist school of art togeth- er with brief biographical sketches of some of its lead xponents. In contrast, he sketched briefly the development of art in France to this period. His talk was 11- lustrated at various points with color reproduction: of famous paintings. A social hour followed during which lunch was served, and the society presented the hostess of the evening with a beautiful bouquet of flowers as a surprise remembrance on the occasion of her birthday.
