Another point. worthy of con- sideration according to shippers was the varieties being used. It is holed that the market is now genorslly demanding what ll mlmnonly known as a "purple loll" turnip. This tytps is more et- iractive in the retail stores than a bronze or other light colored tur- liin and it is suggested that stcwcrs produce more of this type. One variety mentioned as suitable was "Lsureniian."

Meeting 0f Givii Service Employees

Approximately I50 civil servants of the Dominion Government at- tended a meeting in the Ixgiou Hall last night to hear Mr. Ger- ard Theriault, national secretary of the Civil Servant-s Federation. cxpiafn to them the advantages of their Departments having a national organization.

While it was true. Mr. 'I'heriault said, that the clerical staff in Charlottetown of the Unemploy- ment Insurance Commission and the Income Tax department were organized. there were others which shouidjmmediately affiliate with a national organization.

Mr. Theriault. cited several cases where the presentation of the Federation on behalf cf the civil servants of various Govemmen: Departments had brought definite benefits in the way of salary iri- creases and privileges.

Many Grievances

The civil servants across Can- ada, Mr. Theriaultsaldhave many grievances, the chief of which is the lack of permanency. In some departments, 70 per cent of the employees are permanent while in others the percentage is as low as 10. Before the end cf the year. ire said, the Federation hopes its rep- resentations will result in all civil servants now employed being put on the permanent list. Another grievance was that many civil ser- vants were not paid for overtime. He cited one case in the Domin- ion Government Pay Office where the clerks had been forced to work four nights a week without com- pensation. The superannuation problem was another which the Federation intended to take up with the Dominion Government

soon.

Mr. Theriauit said it. lied been brought to his attention since coming to Charlottetown that the linking up o! local civil service organizations might be contrary to the recent legislation passed in the Province. He did not. know anything about the recent legisla- tion but. did not. believe it. would affect them. Certainly they did not receive their pay from the Province but from Ottawa. If the civil ser- vants in the Province could not Join a national body, they were powerless. MI. Theriault said he would get an opinion on the mat- ter from the Justice Department. upon his return to Ottawa

Mr. Fred Whitehousc, president. of the Civil Service Federation and Mr. E. C. Dean, regional vice- presldent of the Canadian Postal Employees of New Brunswick, ur- rlvsd at the meeting about 1i o'- clock after having attended a meeting of postal employees in Summer-side.

Mr. Vifhitehouse spoke briefly on account of the lateness of the hour. I-le assured the meeting that in unity there was strength and that the Federation would at all times look after the interests of my of its branch organizations to the very best of its ability.

Mr. George Beers, Vice-president. of the Civil Service Federation. of the Charlottetown Post Office pre- sided.

Present at last night's meeting were representatives of the Char- lottetown branches of the In- come Tex Department. Unemploy- ment. Insurance. three branches ef the Postal service, Department of Veterans’ Affairs, Department of Customs. Department of ‘Pl-ans- pcrt, Department of Fisheries. Family Allowance. and the Dc- minion Experiments! Farm.

Canada thus becomes the first country in the world to inaugurate a full-dress "all-up" service. Some European nations operated a. sim- ilar service on an international basis — on flights between two countrtes—before the war, and South Africa has tried it on a tirn- ited scale recently. But Canada is the first to put it. into country- wide operation.

The United States, already bear- ing l. big deficit on air marl ser- vices, does not. have "all-up" treat- meat.
