Ltd, Montreal, and about eighteen months ago the land-sites were purchased and the project was under way. "This system will triple the number of channels available to the mainland." stated Mr. Win- field. "I am highly pleased to be able to return to the Island at in- tervals and see the improvements in the Island service and renew old acquaintances."

Mr. Winfield is believed to have the longest service of any tele- phone executive on the continent. He was associated with Island tele- phones in 1903.

Proud to be of service to the Marltlmes, Col. A. R. St. Louis. assistant general manager, Federal Manufacturing Co. pointed out that the eyes of the communications world are watching this innova- lion.

Mr. E. E. Lriblnc. technical dir- ector of the Laboratories atiltcd that the "dreams of years had be- come a reality this evening." I-le noted that many people and na~ tibns were involved In the de- velopment of microwave telephony. "This co-opcrafion is symbolic of the aims of communications cil- gineers. Maybe in I0 years micro- wave links will encircle the world."

Speaking nn bcilaif of the Public Utility Board, Judge C. St. Clair 'I‘rninor congratulated the tele- phone companies on their initiative and tile scientists and engineers on their skill. He voiced the "fer- vent prayer that the wur mongerri of the world remain quiet and ai- low the men of science to make the world a more safe and pleasant place to live "in."

Cmdr. W. E. S. Briggs. Mail- times Regional Director, C.B.C. quoted an opinion expressed to hini that "M. T. & T. were courag- eous" in taking the initlril step In the development of mlcroivtivi; telephony.

Generous Donation To Emergency Fund

-

Campaign workers in the United Emergency’ Fund for Britain yes- terday received the generous do- nation of $500 from Mr. W. E. Bentley, K.C.

when thanked for his magnific- ent contribution, Mr. Bentley re- plied that it represented his senti- ments to the cause in which the workers were voluntarily engaged.

All this week members of the Special Names Division, headed by Brigadier W. W. Reid, D.S.O.. ED, have been active in soliciting for the fund.

The boos received by the do- nation of . W. E. Bentley has served to spur members on to reach their objective, and the pro- vlricial-wide objective of $25,000.

Island Lady 80 Years iPioneer In Montana

Recently over the new K.X.L.O. broadcasting station. Lewistoui, Montana. an Island lady was among the pioneer ladies of West- ern States receiving special men- tion in the "National Business and Professional Women of America."

Mrs. F‘.J. Reyleck. formerly Miss Grace Patterson Lewis. who when her husband died of a heart at- tack, stepped right into his shoes carrying on a large general mer- cllandise business during depression and who now, having disposed of this business. has been for the past few years turning her atten- tion to the development of oil on their many acres of land.

This remarkable lady, descendant of Scottish parents of Dumfrles rind Eidlnburgﬂi, is very active in mind, possesses wonderful vision

and still attends the National Business Women's meetings in Lewiston. Montana. She is noted

for her missionary and charitable work.

Mrs. Reyleck of Montana, and Mrs. W. M. Flynn. Charloatletcwn. Prince Edward Island are e only surviving members of the large i family of ten children. Many Isl- landers will recall W. P. Lewis, _'Cardigan. monumental designer Iand scuiptor.-iwfnifred Times.

In announcing that the Govern- ment was heading for its third successive surplus, Mr. Abbott warned it would bejwrong to as- sume that the Governments bud- getary surplus will continue to in- crease during the last five months of the fiscal year at the same rate

as it has during the first seven months. In his last budget speech. Mr.

Abbott forecast a surplus of MN.- o0o.o0o for the fiscal year. In 194'!- 48 the surplus was 370000.000 and in 1946-47, when the first surplus in I7 years was compiled, it was $352,800,000.

Top couurnunicatlons executives and scientists visited Tea Hill yes- terday afternoon and watched demonstrations of the new nvultf- plex microwave telephone "link" by the project engineer oif Pbd- eml Telecommunications Labcra- torles, Mr. NJ. Govttflied. lTieleiphione conversations were carried on with the nminland, a CBC musical programme was issuing from a loud speaker and the days news was coming over s press teletype, showing various channels at work in the “iink" which cost $200,000.

Under lest-s, trial and adjust- ment for the pas-t two months, the equipment was installed by Maritime ‘Telegraph and ‘Pele- phone engineers under the super- vision of Federal Laboratories.

The srriall, single-stoned“ stuc- co - finished installation building squats on Tea Hill overlooking the rifle range. Costing $10,000 for the building alone, it ls completely insulated and fireproof. The equipment is automatic in every respect and requires no stuff to service it. It ls electrically heated and the humidity is automatically controlled so that the delicate electronic mechanisms may not be affected by damp and foggy wea- ther.

Mr. G. R. Starratt, general plant manager of both telephone com- panics, Halifax, stated that auto- matic diesel power plants will be installed. making the system in- dependent of general power fail- ures. When the power falls the auxiliary plan-t will start sway automatically.

The little building is dominated by two ten-foot circular reflectors of spun aluminum which are mounted vertically on two sixty- fooit Douglas Fis- poles from Brit- ish Columbia.

The problem of supplylns addit- ional circuits between Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island had been under dissussion by the Telellhme (jgmpapigs and the Federal GOV- ernment for some time. and “was decided that the most economical and eﬁlcient manner of handling Ihls increased service was by means of a. radio link.

Federal Electric Manufacturing Company, whose laboratories were amongst the first to eXPIOIb I" possibilPies of pulse time modula- tion gygtqms, made the installation in cooperation with the 9081116911 of the telephone companies.’ In explaining the ODEIBIAOQ‘ of the new system. Federal engineers said that microwaves are extremely high ffquency radio waves-two billion cycles per second-IN same as those emlllvyed In "d"- This ultra high frequency-worn- pared l0 the ordinary broadcast and hiilh frequency communicat- ion systems-is attained by means of electronic techniques and ls ne- cessary to secure a large number of circuits without overcrowding the already congested radio freq- llcncy spectrum. and to minimize the power requirements.

The system is economical because it provides a number of reliable channels, yet permits savings in materials, installation costs and

Potato Market

The potato market has weaken- ed to some extent during the week. Seed is being loaded steadily for United States points by steamer and is ranging between 75 and 80 cents per bushel. This is the price prevalent at Summerside and Charlottetown, particularly for Cobblers. Dealers are filling con- tracts but the market is slowing up. Somewhat higher prices rang- ing up to 90 cents ili a few special cases have been realized on special "Foundation" stock.

Due to the concentration on seed movement very little attention ls peing paid to lablestock but there has been some inquiry from United States points for tablestock which now milst hurdle the T5 cents tariff rate. The present price ranges between 66 and 70 cents for contents of 75 lb. bag deliver- ed at car or shipping points. Practically all points report a similarity in price levels on both seed and Lablestock. Some CTIUC- isms are still being offered on old bags being used and some siiqht reaction on carelessness in weights. The turnip market is also ex- ceedingly iveak. Vernon River re- ports 22 to 23 cents per bushel. Slow movement. Charlottetown area 25 to 27 cents per bushel with a little better price to Newfound- land points. billion and Colvilie 2b lo 27 cents per bushel to the farmer. Slow sales. Apparently trade under n“ unregulated system of marketing has been more than satisfied and markets in consum- ing centrea have every evidence of weakness. There are some criticisms rgarding wormy turnips and on size.

Tablestock has been moving to Newfoundland and some 0o Mont- real but local supplies in the Montreal and Toronto areas oom- ipg in by trucks over a long dist- ance are still ample. As cold weather sets in trucking will be curtailed and the market in the Upper Canadian centers should improve as a result. M186 fliliiiit- itles of material are being for- warded to Newfoundland point! from the Island. Geneirally speak- ing there is good satisfaction with the Island product‘ although some complaint has been registered about, poor potato bags and short iveighls. The market. however. is now easing.
