Resolutions discussed and pass-
" ed included the following:
"Whereas a number of fatalities have occurred at the Traveller's Rest Railway crossing due to buildings on either side. Be it rc- solved that the government urge the Railway to install the proper lights."
"Whereas electricity is of bene- fit to schools and public buildings. and whereas many rural schools and public buildings are not wired because of the high cost of elect- rlcity.
"Be it resolved that s commit- tee be appointed from the Prince Edward Island Women's Institute to petition the Public Utilities Board to give a reduced electricity rate to public buildings, such as schools. churches and public halls"
"Whereas people driving on our highways like to know who lives in the several places. and
"Whereas we think it might be a means of enticing people to beaut- ify their properties.
"Be it resolved that this Wom- en's Institute Convention go on re- cord aa requesting the Govern- ment to request that all mail box owners have their names plainly printed on the sides of their mail boxes."
"Whereas we feel that one visit of the public health nurse to the schools is not sufficient.
"Be it resolved that the depart- ment of Health and Welfare be re- quested to have the nurses visit the public schools at least twice ll year."
INCREASED STAFF NEEDED
"Whereas the Women's Institute movement in Prince Edward Is- land extends back over a period of forty years of intelligent. con- structive development, marked by efficient direction under the guid- ence of highly qualified personnel, and
"Whereas during this period a continuous study has been carried on by Institute members on advan- ced problems in the home, com- munity, province and in the nat- ional and international sphera. and
"Whereas Institutes have advan- ced far beyond the ordinary realm of household affairs and have launched out into the field of econ- omics. education. social welfare and the more complicated pro- blems affecting conditions of our time. and
"Whereas the direction of Wom- en's Institute Work and study under such conditions requires the servlccs of the highest educated and trained personnel in order to devise I planned program. and be able to analyse the problems of the time and direct on a high level of efficiency the study and program that an educated and progressive membership demands.
"Be it therefore resolved that this convention strongly recom- mends snd urges that the Govern- ment of the Province places in positions of responsibility in the Women's Institute department on increased staff with cnmplrtcrl Home Economics university deg- rees and preferable with a rural hackgrmimf, understanding and experience. airf be it further point- ed out that administrative per- sonnel of the quality required can- not be secured at less than com- petitive salary values and if is therefore further urged that the matter of salary be not a deciding factor in the" employment of of-

AGRICULTURE REPORT
Mrs. Charles Jones. convener of agriculture. urged the young boys and girls to take advantage of the opportunities presented at the Vocationz' School to further their education.
The report, whilc favourably .commenting on the general im- provement observed in the sur- roundings of churches. homes and schools. went on to say "There is much that might be done by way of roadside improvements and picnic nooks. A picnic nook does not necessarily mean a tourist attraction. Think of how nice it might be for mothers with small children and no family car. An outdoor meal at a nicely arranged picnic nook could be just as thrill- ing as a long drive to a famous park or beach."
Mrs. Harold Laird. reporting on United Natioirs exchange programs admonished the members to learn about the United Nations and its specialized agencies. especially those which institute members have a special interest in "and so learn whether or not we as rural women are pulling our internation- al weight in this fearful and wond- erful world."
The report urged the various in- stitiites to arrange for special pro- grams on United Nation's Day Oct. 24.
Reporting on Home Economics. .Mrs. MacGregor urged a greater . consumption of farm products esp- ecially milk by the children. "I am amazed at the number of farm school children's lunches which fail to carry milk as their drink. jNo other food contains so many 1 factors that build good health.” the report stated.
Mrs. William Alyward. publicity crnveiier urged the appointment of , a press chairman in every Institute l with a view to taking full advantag 1 of the opportunity presented by the W055 l0r Prompt coverage on im- portant matters.
"I ask all Institutes to make more use of the press when space ll) "UT l38P0rs is so generously given free of charge."
HEALTH AND WELFARE
Health and welfare was reported on by Mrs. Philip Matheson who described her attendance at Na- tional Health Insurance meetings where it was developed that "on a National basis it would cost, for hospital care, medical care and d:agnostic services approximately 338.90 per person and that the Federal Government would pay so per cent of the cost up to a certain cost. and above that we would be on our own.”
"There are so many preventive measures now to safeguard our children's health that they are very foolish parents indeed who do not avail themselves of the oppor- tunity of having their children vac- clnatcd and lnocultaed. It is the few, who do not believe in it, that are a menace to those who do."
Cultural activities were dealt with by Mrs. l..G. Ramsay who said "Those of you who have pro grams which have as their guid- ing philosophy to help people to help themselves in their leisure time activities are playing a most tlimportant part in adult educa-
on." -
She urged membership in mu- sic and drama groups and entries in the Provincial Drama Festival. The importance of group entiles ln handicraft at the Provincial Ex- hibition. the sponsoring of Red Cross swimming classes. drama, music and art in the schools and other activities were stressed.
"Never forget this inescapable faclrwe may build schools and collcgcs until our sky lines are crowded with them.
"We may provide endownments and scholarships and salaries that will be the envy of the world. We may put the best resources of church and state alike behind our efforts to have the finest schools the most skilled teachers. the last word in equipment.

Law lielaxes, for Visit In Unusual Case
NEWCASTLE. -Eng. (AP-Bar old llfercer sat with tear-dimmed eyes at the bedside of his dying wife Sarah Thursday and talked of the future he knows she will never have.
Gfayhaired Sarah, 49, patted his hand.
"It's nice to see you again, love." she murmured.
She did not know that her hus- band, also 49, had been in jail on a charge of attempted mur- der-her murder. She did not know that behind the hospital door stood two warders from Durham Jail, watching him. She did not know that behind the happy reun ion lay the combined efforts of two members of Pa." '. a pe- tition by her neighbors-and the humanity of Leonard Newcombe, governor of the jail.
Mercer came to the hospital room there. He is awaiting trial Monday on charges of trying to kill his wife with 13 sleepin, pills to relieve her suffering. She has cancer.
He also is accused of attempted suicide. He had pleaded guilty to the suicide charge. but not guilty of attempted murder.
Sarah knew nothing of this. She believed that her bricklayer hus band finally collapsed from the strain of nursing her for four years and that he had been in a hospital too.
The visit lasted an hour and 40 minutes. Then Mercer came out. From a little wide window, his daughter. Connie, and her husband watched.
"He was crying with happiness." Connie said.
As Mercer drove back to his lonely prison cell. Sarah smiled through her pain. She said:
"I'm so glad he's better."
Gives Report On Coal-Fired Gas Turbine
OTTAWA (CP -- Mines Min- ister Prudham said Thursday the experimental coal-fired gas tur- bine engine developed at McGill University now is undergoing test runs for efficiency and soon will be shown to private industry
The minister, " ting his spend- ing estimates through the Com- mons, asked another 3100.000 for the project this year This will bring to 8650.000 the total expend- iture on the project. begun in 1953
Mr. Prudham saldadeclslonon what will be done in the future on the project will depend on evalua- tlon of results from its test runs. It was hoped that by the end of 1956 his department's fuels divi- sion could hold a symposium at which the new - type locomotive would be shown to private indus- try. The object was to build an en- glue that would compete with die sel power on the railroads and provide a market for Canadian coal.

SHAPE HEADQUARTERS iiseoiirst
PARIS (Reuters)-Russia has increased her subm -inc forces and the Communist air forces have grown stronger in recent months despite professed reduc- tions in armed forces. Atlantic Pct headquarters reported Thursday.
The report appraising ingot east European strength said Russia and her satellites today have 4.- 500.000 men in ground forces. more than 1.000.000 in air forces and 500.000 In their nsvias. The report wail released by the SHAPE headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Org tion in Europe.
The Russian Army alone has 3,000,000 men. the report said. Russia could marshal 2n.ooo operational aircraft. many of than
500. Russia nowl has 450 submar- ines. compared with 400 last year. No EVIDENCE OF CUT i
A SHAPE spokesman said of the recent Russian announcements of reductions in armed forces, "We
jets, and the satellite countries 2.- to
have as yet no evidence of any reductions being carried out."
The report said that although the numerical strength of Soviet ground forces has remained con- stant since 1917 at 175 divisions. their mobility and fire power had increased through the introduc- tion of improved weapons and equipment.
The satellites had doubled the number of trelr divisions since 1047. and now have 80.
The report said: "The USSR has a ready-made spearhead for a rapid advance into western Europe." This was made up of 21 Soviet divisions now in East Ger- many, most of them srmorcd. with a full complement of tanks and self-propelled guns. The re rt said full credit has A be ven the east Europran bloc for having developed a strong capability in atomic. cheficsl and biological warfare. as well as in the field of guided missiles."

Institute Holds Annual Picnic For The Blind
Indcr excellent weather condi- tions, the Women's Auxiliary of the Canadian National Institute of the Blind. held the annual picnic for the blind yesterday in the Na- tional Park at Stanhope. Lending assistance to the women in carry- ing out a programme of games were Bill Reid and Bill Warren. The park authorities placed one of its largest shelters at the dia-
OT'i'AWA (CF) trade pact with Russia might have impaired Canada's moral po- sition before the General Agree- ment. on Tariffs and Trade. the Commons agriculture committee was told Thursday.
Mitchell Sharp, associate deputy trade minister. said Canada re- sistcd such a pact. Special deals with any one country were con- trary to the government's antl- discriminatlon policy in foreign trade.
Canada had been continually pressing other countries to remove dlscrlmlnatlons. To have given Russia concessions not granted other couiitrles would have d-im- aged Canada's position on general trade principles.
Mr. Sharp. chief Canadian nego- tiator in the 1956 trade pact with Russia. was called before the committee to outline some of his impressions on Russian trade. DEPENDED ON TRADE
Under the agreement, Russia agreed to take a niinlmum of 400.- 000 tons of Canadian wheat an- nually for a three-year period. She would boost this to 500.000 ions if she made progress in selling goods in Canada. A ton contains 37 bushels of wheat.
Hazen Argue (CCF-Assinlboia) maintained that Canada should have agreed to purchase a cer- tain amount of Russian goods to protect her new wheat market in Russia. There was widespread prairie feeling, he said. that far-

A bilaterallffs. embargoes and other means
might be used to discourage im- ports of goods and this in turn would hurt Canadian exports. a.
Mr. Sharp said that in return for the wheat market. Canada agreed to reduce tariffs on Rus- sian goods. granting Russia the same tariff and trade privileges as Canada grants to the United States and other most-favored-nr tion countries.
The Canadian tariff reductions were of "immediate and practi- cal" benefit to Russia. Canada got no commensurate benefit Lccause Russia's trade is controlled by the state and tariffs have no IIlP.fIIl- ing in that country. That's why Canada insisted on the sale of wheat.
URGES SHIPPING INCREASE
Earlier Mr. Howe tangled with A. M. Nicholson (CCF-Macken- zie) over the possibilities of In- creased grain shlpfents out of the northern Manitoba port of Churchill.
Mr. Nicholson maintained iliat if the present stepped-up storage were doubled. shipments also might be doubled to some 13,000.- 000 bushels a season. He said there are authorities who believe the port could be capable of ship- ping 30,000,000 a season.
Mr. Howe. who built the ilrst elevator at Churchill long before he entered politics. said those on- thorities "are just nuts." He doubted whether the port could handle any substantial increase.

possibilities of the turbine.
He said illusions have been built. on the assumption the new en- gine ls interchangeable with die- sel engines now being E ,' E by Canadian railways. It was not. special locomotives would have to be built to use the turbine and the railways were not going to write off their huge new invest- ment in diesels to make the switch.
There still were kinks in its de- velopment. The difficulty lisd bean to find a cooling system to pro- vent the gas from burning off the turbine blades.
If it were ever perfected, it might be a good marine engine or thennal power plant for generat- ing electricity. But it would be a long time before the railw would switch from their ” '

In his speech of welcome Brig. Bennett reminded the future mil- itia officers that they will gst as
