The Queens County Federation of Agriculture wants the Federal Government oi Canada to impose a year round tariff of 37115 cents per cwt. against American pota- toes. it also wants the export tariff quota oi potatoes to the United States restored to IV: mil- lion bushels. This was indicated in a resolution passed unanimous- ly at the annual meeting held last night.

Mr. W.R. Shaw reviewed briefly the meetings oi the Canadian Hor- ticultural Council with the tariff board last Spring. He said the general idea put forth by the Board was "if you are going to get something you must give something in return."

Mr. Show n alled that the de- mands being mede included a 3'IVs cent tariff the year around. On the other hand the tariff board suggested free entry of American potatoes from January 1 to June It and at the same time suggested lowering the quota oi Canadian exports from 3Vs million to a mil- lion nine hundred thousand. The Board's suggestion stands as oi today.

Montague Man Loses Lifel- As Old Bridge Collapses.

Harry Acorn Is Victim Of

Fatal Accident

The collapse of an abandoned steel bridge being dismantled at Victoria. P.E.l.. yesterday after- noon resulted in a drowning fatal-. ity which took the llfe of Harry Acorn. aged 37. of Montague. A second Montague man, Nat Camp- bell, also working on the bridge at the time, narrowly escaped drowning by reaching shore in an exhausted condition, when the sfcel framework of the bridge col- lapsed into about 22 feet of water. CLOSE TO VILLAGE

The bridge was located beside Victoria Village and, until aband- oned a few years ago by the Pro- vincial Government. it provided a shor; route between the villages of Victoria and Hampton. and was for many years a part of the main highway between Borden and Charlottetown.

The body was found at 7.45 P.M. by members of the Charlottetown and Borden detachments of the R.C.M.P.. who commenced drag- ging operstlons shortly after the bridge collapse.

A coroner's jury. empanelled by Dr. L.E. Prowse. met at ll.0i) P.M. at the Charlottetown Hospital. and adlourned until July 5th. at 8.30 PM. when they will meet at City Hall. Members of the jury are: Harold James Sentner (foreman) Donald Henry Campbell, George Louis Murphy, Arnold Franklin Roper, Walter MacDonald. Harold Dewar Larter. and Dana Chester McGrath.

The late Mr, Acorn. together with Not Campbell. Archie Higg- lnbothnm. and Joe Vuzso. all of Montague. had only yesterday

commenced the task of dismont- ud

ling the steel structure of the bridge. About 1:15 p.m.. as the strong tide flowing under the bridge neared its high water point. work was progressing favourably. Mr. C h'l was t ” on

meat from the . ., ''''”'”esuse of in a it - foot dory which carried "W3

the acetelyno tanks and equip- ment.

The boat was located at the North side of the bridge in mid- hannel water. where it was being steadied and kept in position by Mr. Acorn. Mr. Higginbotlnm was working at the steel framework while standing ashore at the East- ern cnd of .the bridge. it was hewhoilrstnoticed thatthebridn was begiming to collapse and

Farm Situation Is A "Disaster"

WTNNIPEG (CF) - The Inter- provincial Farm Union Council said Thursday the agricultural sit- uation in Canada has "depreci- ated to the point of a national dis- aster." '

A statement issued after the council's joint board conference said it Is "perfectly obvious that even with the disposition o' the entire farm-held stocks of com- modities. farmers would still be in serious debt position."

At Victoria

shouted a warning to his com- panions. Before they could make an effort to reach safety, however. the steel spans buckled and sank instantly into the deep channel. SWEPT UPSTREAM

Mr. Campbell. standing on tbs bridge. was carried into the water and was swept several yards up the Crapaud River before re-sur- facing and. with difficulty. swim- ming to the safety of shallow wat- er and reaching shore. He was later treated for shock by Dr. Pat- er MacDonald of Cropnud, who was called to the scene.

Mr. Acorn was carried into the w water when the steel girders crashed on the front part of the boat. smashing it to pieces and carrying the occupant and at equipment in the boat to the bot tom of the channel. Mr. Vunn who owned the acetylene cutting equipment. was away from the scene momentarily and returned a few minutes after the tragedy happened.

R.C.M.P. were called to the scene and directed scorch operat- ions which recovered the body. Among several members of the R.C.M.P. present at the scene was Cst. S.J. Tibbo. of the Charlotte- town detachment. who entered the water and swam to the area wher; the boat had gone under. BMASI-IED T0 PIECES r
