Enjoyable il.i.S. . . Comedy_D_r_ama ‘
Last night's palfossnarace of the B. I. 8. annual stage production was the comedy drama by Dans Thomas. "Young Paddy Barry".
’~ ~ Under the distinguished patron-'
age of Lleut. Governor J. A. Ber- nard and Mrs. Bernard. and his worship Mayor B. Earle MacDon- ald and Mrs. MacDonald. the per- formance was played before a oeipacity audience at, the Prince Edward Theatre. Capsbly direct- ed by Mr. J. Pius Callaghan. it brought almost three hours of amusing entertainment to the crowd in attendance.
“Young Paddy Barry" is the story of a misunderstood teen- ager. the affection of his family. and title narrowness of perception of some of the people in the small town in which he lives.
Although the production is the but to be presented by this local organization in many years. the play lipeif could be improved by eliminating or cutting off some of the long “ _anguef ' lines with which the membe . of the cast find thanuelves confronted.
Aiaa MacDonald as Paddy gave a most sincere performance at all times. and one oould not help but be sorry for him as he felt the brunt of the wrath of his neigh- bors. and at times. of his _family. Mr. MacDonald has a very pleas- ing stage personality and seemed to have no difficulty in personi- fylng the typical teen-ager of to-
I.V- .
As Ann Sherman. Miss Mildred Walker gave the part a buoyancy and spark that suited the role to perfeclion. Her attractiveness. neat appearmcs. and remarkably Clear speaking voice added up to a perfectly natural characterization. which was a pleasure to watch at all times.
As Paddy's mother and father, Miss Joan McCallum and .1. Plus Callaghan were ideally cast. and their scenes together were among the highlights of the play.
In the very strong supporting cast were Mildred Thompson as Eileen Barry. Gertrude Coyle as Mabel Warren. Eleanor Bourke ‘as Mrs. Granville. Dennis Dowilng as George Jones. Lloyd Desftoches as Tommy Granville. Jane Giddings as Sally Davidson and Russel Kelly as Mr. Merritt. ,
Specialties between the acts re- ceived much applause which brought out the artists in encores. again and again. Thoss taking part were Don Mcaser and his Ls- landlers. Charlie Chamberlain, Marg. Osborne. the Laval Chor- isters. St.'Vincent‘s Orphanage and Ben Ali. v
The performance will be re- psalted at a matinee and evening showing. today.

Shipments Curtailed By Reefer Car Shortage But Con.ditions.Now Improved
“Our potato market has gather- ed considerable momentum and large quantities of potatoes are steadily moving from the Prov- ince." states the weeku report of the Provincial Department of Agriculture. prepared by Mr. W. R. Shaw. Deputy Minister. “An unfolniunavte reefer car shortage has curtailed this movement to some extent. We are assured. however. by rail authorities that cars are being moved to the Prov-
is expected that we will have over 400 on this division by to- morrow night and hope to have the situation pretty well under control by Monday.
"There is one aspect of the pre- sent situation that mcriis some a~ - tention. The demand for seed. particularly in areas that are now or soon will be planning. should re- ceive apeclal consideration. Cobbler seed, particularly. should be de- livered by April lstii to may sections. If our exporters are not in a posilicn to guarantee deliy:r- ies on certain date: the orders are cancelled and requirements are secured from sources of supply that can fill the orders promptly. In view of the importance of lilli g every possible markci as. req lred it would seem as if same‘ priority should be provided orders. for seed.
"It is to be sincerely hoped. how- ‘ ever, lhai thc rce-for car situation‘ will improve to the extent that all our poialocs can be handled nor- mafly to an expanding market. The] next month will be particularly‘ busy as far as exports are con-! cerned. I
"It is encouraging to note that’ some slight improvement! has ta- ken place in price levels. although not of a particularly impressive nature. United Stairs markets are shirwlng greater life and the Up-
p:r Canadian markets are evi- dencing s keener interest, as is also true in Western Canada. The
trend would seem to be for strong- er demand in these areas. Po- tatoes loaded direct to cars for prompt shipment are bringing it slight advance in price over those in storage for delivery on previous contract. The general situation. as far as demand is concerned. is encouraging, and it is to be sin- cerely hoped ihai. a corresponding improvement in price levels will take place along with expanding deliveries. EU Turnip: “The turnip market has under-

gone a series of price convulsions since last week. All kinds of re-
ports are circulating in the coun-- try regarding prices and the top.
level of $1.00 per lo hel has been suggested. it wo almost ap- pear, however. as if the present turnip situation at these high prices is more or less artificial. It is difficult to explain such a sudden upheaval. I can only say; to those who are in touch with these high quotatipns that they should be very careful that any cornrnll.- menu or sales are made on an .f.o.b. basis with final inspection here and the assurance that all accounts are perfccily reliable.
“Ra-iher unusual offers are un- double-dly being made from cer- tain quarters but the general situa- tion on turnips would not seem to justify the high prices which have been sjuggestcd.
‘‘It must be remembered, too. that those prices are prices in dealers delivered on board earl and including bags.

Dwelling I At St. Andrews Is Destroyed
Flrc dcstrdycd the dwelling all Mr. and Mrs. Fred Reddin. St: Andrew's, and practically all their furniture. clothing. personal ei- fccis and a quantify of l.urnips in the cellar to cause an estimated damage of 58.000 in an outbreak around noon. Tuesday.
The blaze was believed to have originated in the second floor while Mr. Rcddin was working in the cellar. For a time it threat- ened to consume the barn and a tractor nearby. but the efforts" of nearby neighbors prevented it from doing further damage.
The building situated on the site of the old St. Dunstan's Coi- icgc farm on the St. Peter‘: high- way ncar Mounvi Stewart was a 40 x 40 fool stl‘uc‘.ure and conlain- - ed eight rooms. it was partially} covered by insurance. -
Cause of the fire was not known but so quickly did it spread that Mr. and Mrs. Reddin and their two children were fortunate inl escaping from the burning struc- ture unscathed.

No definite action was prc:nis:li on the early construction of lilo dormitory but the Premier point- rd out that the Government ownnd ; the Stewart proparty at the cur- ner of Kent and Weymounh Streets. and also the Macl..esn am: Lowe property on the other side Building could not start riglt away. he said. and besides more property would have to be expro- priatcd. ‘
' Delinquent Problem
The problem of delinquent child- ren was brought up by the Pre- mier who stated that the Province was not getting them to any ex- tent any morc since the physical fitness program had been inaugur- atert "We were thinking of pui- ting those delinquents out on farms", he said "rather than senil- ing them to schools in saint John and Halifax from which they re- turned worse than when they on- tercd". He added. "We now have ‘lib acres of land at Mount Pleasant
that might be used for such a pur- pose."
The brief stated the Institute‘: -willingness to co-operate with the Government in matters pertaining to Child welfare. It also urged that
Government assistant: be given col
an active Children's Aid Society.
Dealing with a school for sub- normal children it was stated that the needs of these children had been studied during the past year, and while there is provision made for blind and deaf. there is none
for the mentally retarded children.
Sub-normal Children
In reply to a question about I number of children in this Province handicapped in such a manner. Mrs. Malcolm Mscuod. Inrne Vai- ley. who read the brief stated that a IIOII-in‘ fesslonal survey had shown there were at least 59.
The Minister of Health and Wei-
fare, Mr. Mathieson. stated that the cost. of construction of such a school might be out of all cost of proportion to the Province of P.- E.I. “I am not saying it should not be done. he added. but ii: is hard to determine the number of children that are to be taken care nf." He then went on to outline the problems involved in deter- mining classes of retarded child- ren. He stated that two physicians are being trained for psychililri-3 work but would not be ihrslgll until 19.3.2. I-Ie poled that tlcze were too many children at. the home.a(: Beach Grove ~wit.h the older people and said that another building would have to be erected there.
Ml‘. R.R. Bell asked if thus uas any hope for the old P.i:1.i. Hospital being turned 0\(‘I‘ for this use now that we have the bulli- lng at Beach Grove. and M". Matheson replied. "That was the orlglnal thought behind it but A" are so over-crowded we cannot .ll anything."

He urged that "we must gel those who are qualil.ed to deal with the problem of mentally re- tarded childrcn." There are man)’ cases of those backward children which can be cured “by the re- moval of arienoids. tonsils and bad tccih. We have so many children in infirmarles now that something must be done." '
