He also paid tribute to Hon. Mr. Cullen “who . .worked so closely with the company and gave wise counsel and helpful assistance through the past two years."
“I wish to assure all of you that we are proud of this model plant. We are determined and assure it will prove to be a boom to the farmers-of this area and to the province in general," said Mr. Heeney.

The visitors were greatly im- pressed with the maze of machinery involved in the in- dustry and the utmost care that will be taken to ensure the pro- duotion of a quality product.
MACHINES EXPLAINED
First visited was the straw- berry production line where auto- matic hullers and washers send the fruit along a conveyor belt where it is checked for quality and any. remaining stems re- moved, A feature of this as- sembly was the automatic sugar mixer adds the right amount of ‘sugar according to the speed of the operation.
Keen interest w s shown in the machinery used in ie processing of peas. From the time the crop goes into the viners until it is safely frozen and stored, every operation is automatic with the utmost emphasis on sanitation.
The refrigeration plant and the new. type of plate freezers were the object of considerable at- tention. The freezing plant will handle about two tons of pro- cessed crop per hour. ‘
cold storage space and near- byloadiing facilities on the rail- way spur were noted as fea- tures. Spacious washroom facili- ties and cafeteria style recrea- tion room provides for the con- venience of the employees.

Permission was given the Vil- lage of Parkdale to lay its main sewer line along certain streets lying within Charlottetown at a special meeting of City Council last night. Full support was given the action by the Com'mis- sioners of Sewers and Water Sup- ply, all of whom attended the session.
The Commissioners agreed also to meet with the Parkdale ad- ministration to draw up ‘an agreement covering the entire inter-municipal arrangement. Another phase of the problem was brought to the attention of Council by Councillors McR"ae and Arsenault, who called for a decision on provision of water and sewerage in Ward Six. It was agreed to call another special meeting of Council for next Monday, to-tackle this mat- ter, and to invite members of both the Water Commission and the Town Planning Committee to attend.
The Parkdale problem was ex- plained to Council by Stanley Matheson, chief engineer for the Water Commission. He declared Parkdale Commissioners would have to use a much longer route for their sewer line, if the city failed to authorize the request before it, which had been stated in Parkdale’s letter of May 16. The expense of tearing up the city streets affected. in instal- ling a single sewer line to carry 100 per cent of Parkdale's sew- erage. would be met by the Vil- lage of Parkdale, it-was explain- ed.

Lebanon Asks Off Frontiers
While official confirmation could not be obtained, specula- tion was running high yester- day evening that spokesmen for the Prince Edward Island Potato Industry will accept the offer of Fedenal Minister Harkiness of 45 cents per 75 pound bag as a support price for potatoes here.
Yesterday members of the Producers’ Association, the Potato Promotion committee and a committee named at a general potato meeting J1 April 21 met with Agriculture Minister Cullen to discuss the matter of price support as proposed by Ot- tawa. One of the members who at- tended the meeting stated. last night that no further meetings would be required to discuss the matter which leads to the belief that the Federal offer will be ac- cepted. -
DEALERS - OPINION
Several dealers who were con- tacted last night expressed the opinion that all of the number one
moved. The potato market dur- ing the past few days, has shown some strength. Prices being cur- rently offered are between 45-55 cents per 75 lb. bang, say the dealers.
Two delegations have within the past six weeks gone to Ot- tawa to discuss the matter of price support for the potato sur- plus on the Island. The last of these consisting of Hon. Eugene Cullen, William A. M'lacLenna:n and Louis Burge returned with no agreement having been reach- ed..

Prince Member Critical
Of Operation Of C. N. R.
OTTAWA, —- (Special) — Con- trol of the Canadian National Railways should be restored to Parliament as a means of pro- viding improved 0p€I‘_ati0Il. D!‘- O. H. Phillips, Conservative M. P.. for Prince, urged Wednesday.
Speaking in the Commons bud- get debate, Dr. Phillips was strongly critical of C.N.R. man- agement and the lines operations generally. He was “rather tired of the stock answer that the C. N. R. is a crown corporation and independent," he added.
If the C. N. R. is independent, he said flatly, then let officials of that company “go_elsewhere when they have a deficit.” Dr. Phillips said Canad_1an’s_ hear continually of reductions in the C. N. R.’s working staff, but “strangely enough the top brass never seem to be laid off.”. He felt certain, he said, that private industry if it were operating the C. N. R. would find it necessary to make some reductions in the number of officials in the higher income bracket.
Dr. Phillips said economists had recently criticized the an- nual statements of the Bank of Canada. ‘‘I’m sure the same people would find the statement of the C.N.R. a nightmare.”
“Personally," he continued. “I would like to see a little realsim
,Sta-tements."
Dr. Phillips also:
1. Suggested the Government was throwing a “smoke screen” over the immediate transportat- ion needs of Prince Edward Is- land by authorizing a survey to determine the feasibility of a causeway between New Bruns- wick and the Island.
2. Called on Ottawa to give immediate consideration to place another ferry on the Borden - Torfnentine run.
3. Said federal aid should be provided provinces in road build-
ing. 4. Expressed the hope that "considerable" payments would
be made to Canadian farmers under the Agriculture Prices‘ Stabilization Act.
Turning to transportation, Dr. Phillips pointed out the traffic between P. E. I. and the m-ain- land had increased so rapidly in recent years the present facili- ties were unable to handle it during peak seasons.
“Let us assume a causeway is feasible,” he said, “but will re- quire several years to complete. I do not believe it is an exagger- ation to say it will take at least 10 years before it can be built.”
To cope with the growing prob- lem, he said, the government should place another ferry on the Borden - Tormentine run. If
the vessel could be used as an
as the Bar Harbour service.
Dealing with roads, he said the day had arrived when Ottawa should consider providing some aid for the provinces in road construction. This could ‘be achieved either by a continuation of the Trans-Canada Highway or by aid to main highways other than Trans-Canada.
AGRICULTURE
On the subject of agriculture, Dr. Phillips said he was happy to learn by the budget that some additional payments would be made under the Stabilization Act. He said he was fully aware
‘a lot of administrative details in
the legislation had yet to be iron- ed out. But he warned that Can- adian farmers were expecting, and are entitled to something better than the sliderule type of thinking presently exhibited by the Agriculture Department.”
He recalled that Prime Minis- ted Difen-baker last December h-ad proposed a Nato food bank and hoped it would become a reality.
“This would serve a dual pur- pose.” he said, ‘‘It would help to fight Communism among the under-privileged people and pro- vide a market for our surplus agriculture and fishery pro-

FIVE CENTS’ '
To Seal
B-ELRUT. Lebanon (AP) — Lebanon asked the Untecl Na- tions Wednesday to seal off this country's land and sea frontiers with armed force and stop the flow of Syrian and Egyptian war supplies to Lebanese rebels.
Premier Sami Solh handed to Secretary-General Dag Hammar- skjold the request for a UN emergency police force similar to that keeping the peace on the Israeli-Egyptian border at Gaza. Only a few hours after the re- quest, dyn-amite blasts and heavy mortar. machine-gun and rifle fire shattered Beirut's unofficial truce in three sections of the cap- ital.
OPEN Fl"-RE
Rebels from behind their bar- rlcades on the outskirts of the Basta Moslem section opened fire down the long avenue lead- ing to the city's main square, chasing away all traffic and pedestrians.
Other firing and dynamite blasts came from the Christian quarter of Ashrafiah, and from near the post office.
President Camille Chamoun, whom the rebels seek to over- throw in favor of a regime favor- able to President Nasser of the United Arab Republic of Syria and Egypt, has predicted I con- certed rebel attaek today.
The rebel leader in Beirut, Saeb Salam, said his forces will resist any increase in UN forces in Lebanon, even if only to 500 unarmed observers. UN person- nel now number less than 100 men.
Kamal Jublatt, powerful leader of Druse tribesmen, said at his headquarters 16 miles southeast

The ‘request was handed to Hammarskjold just before he left for New York. The UN official made no comment.
Hammarskjold came a week ago for an on-the-spot survey here and in Cairo. While he was in the Middle East an unofficial truce existed.
SEE EMERGENCY SESSION
At the UN in New York West- ern diplomats predicted an emer- gency session of the General As- sembly to take up Lebanon's re- quest. This was based‘ on the be- lief the Russians would veto Se- curity Council action.
Chamoun indichted that if the UN does not take action, he may all for US. and British aid un- er article 51 of the UN charter providing for collective defence. This would put the Western powers in a tight spot. If they intervened they would invite a crisis with Russia. If they re- fused, their Allies in the Middle East would feel abandoned.

P‘EFF‘E.R.LAW. Ont. (CP)——-An inquest jury Wednesday ruled that the 14-foot launch in which five ROMP men were carried to their deaths on w-ind-swept Lake Simcoe June 7 was overcrowded and overloaded.
The three-day inquest was held specifically in the death of ROMP C:pl.. Herbert ‘smart, 34, of Toronto. whose body was the only one recovered.
The jury said he died by acci- dental drowning in Lake Simcoe off Georgina island, “due to rough sea caused by storm, fail- ure of motor causing boat to swamp.”
The jury also found that trans- port department standard life- jackets and department - ap- proved life cushions were unsat- islactory in some cases. Both were in the ,ill-fated boat which was tested ‘Wednesday for the jury. ’
The jury reported the vest—type life preserver is more satisfac- tory.
The verdict called for im- proved wording on plaques re- cently introduced to show capac- ity recommendations for boats. The jury found plaques, such as the one on the ill-fated boat, con- fusing on the subject of proper maximum weight. a Georgina Township Pol-ice Chief Leonard Donner and Con.- stable Philip Legere, a diesel en- g-ineer in the ROM-P marine divi- sion, gave the display in the calm waters of the Pefferlaew River which flows in-to the lake at this village about 50 miles north of Toronto.
They found that once they were in the water, they could not put on either the transport depart- ment’s regulation life preservers, which lace up the front, or the buoyant seat cushions with straps to fit over their arms.
