Council Nears Street Committee Report

At the regular monthly meet- ing of the City Council held Mori- dcy efterncon, the following rc- port on the City Street Commit- tee was read by committee chair- man Councillor J. D. Stewart;

“For the past month there has been ‘considerable work in the 1.1m rring of trees as a result of the wind storm. some trees iverc brought down and iii-ere were considerable brokcn branches. A considerable time was spent at this work.

"In preparation for laying con- crete sidewalk on Green Street. a storm sewer was laid on the Eastern end, connecting with the Government Pond silrcam or. Green Street. and the widening of the stream necessitated the erection of new catch basins.

“The new street on Orlebar project was made to grade to al- low for the Wale-r Department to lay sewe-r mains and water mains. Winch this wcrk ls dcne. If at all pcesiblc. this street should rc- ceive a coat cf gravel. so that. in the late Fail and early spring. the street will be passable. I do not thllnk It advisable to lay any side- walks in this area before next Spring.

“In the West end. considerable siwnplnk has been done with the use of the Government bulldozer. However. as there ls still some land to be acquired in this area. there has been no continuance of the Brighton Place road through to Admiral Street.

"Considerable chloride has been laid cn the streets this Summer and there have been very few cnrlpiaints from the dust nuis- ance. I would like here to men- tion that the street sweepers have done a vry commendable lob this year with the exception of one or two.

We are more or less held lip at the present time in the laying of concrete sidewalks. as our car of cement which was to hirive been shipped the first: cf September lies been further delayed until the 18th. 1cm too. cur asphalt wcfll: Mr. been held up for one little piece of equipment. namely. a steam jacketed asphalt pump. which we are endeavorlng to pro- cure. When this arrives we will be in a ncsliicn to start the pav- livg cf Kent Street between the sidewalks and curb.

"Ihe catch basins have been cleaned out and much dirt rc- moved frcm them and they are rrcw In rcadlnese to t-ake care of the rainy season In the Fall."

P. C. Convention Sidclights

Flor the first time at a National political Convention, Iles-de-la- Madeleine (Magdalen Islands) will be repzesented. These islands. previously part. of the Gaspe rid. ing, were created a separate con- stituency in the 1947 redistribution. Located in the Gulf of St. Law- rence. closer to Newfoundland than to the Quebec coast, the islands‘ nmlristay is fishing. Delegates will be: Isaac Boudreau. Felix Pain- chaud and Rennie Buck. Altein- atives will be: Gregoire Gaudet, Oscar Delaney and W. Langlals.

Fit can mcii in all have con- tested the Party leadership at the three previous Conventions. At. the Winnipeg Convention in 1927. the six candidates were: Lord Bennett. HilQlI Guthrie. CH. Cohan. Dr. R. J. Munlon. Robert Rogezs and Sir Henry Drayton. Of these only Sir

Henry Drayton survives. At the Ottawa convention in 1938. the five candidates were: Dr. R. J.

Manion. ‘M.A. MucPherson, J. H. Harris. Denton Massey and J. Earl Lawson At the Winnipeg Conven- tion of 1942. the five candidates were: John Bracken, M A. Mac- Plierson, John G. Dlefenbaker. Howard C. Green and ILH. Stevens. lt is expected that the nine living previous contenders for the lead- CI‘Sl’llp will all attend the Conven- tion.

Foil: presiding officers of prev- ious Conservative National Con- ventions will attend the Convent- lcn. They are: Senator C. P. Beau- bicu, joint chairman with the late I-Ion. E. N. Rhodes of the 1927 Convention; John R. MacNlcol. M. P.. joint chairman with the late Hon. Maurice Duprc at the 1938 Convention; and l-LR. Mllner. KL‘. and Ivan Sabourin. I(.C,. joint chairman of the 1942 Convention. Back in the saddle at this Coil- ventlon will be a veteran organiz- ation official. The . chaiumen 01 the Entertainment Committee- Redmond Code, K.C., of Ottawa- General Secretary of the

W35 Party and principal assistant to General A.D. McRae during the

1030 election campaign.

General J.A. Clark. Leon J. Ladner. John A. Fraser. Hon. I-lJ-I. Stevens. of British Columbia; Dr. GD. Stanley and General J. A. Stewart. of Alberta, are among former members of Parliament who will attend the Convention. One of the principal differences between the Liberal Convention‘. recently held. and the Proitfeifilve

Conservative Convention. is ill!"- the rcprcscnlation at the Pro- gressive Consczvatlve Convehtlflll

is based on the new redlstributlonf whereas the Liberal Convention was based on the old Representat- ion Act. Under the new redistrib- ution. thcre are ten additional rldings. Thus, the Progressive Conservative Convention will be the largest of the three political conventions held this Year. Th9 C.C.F. Convention. according to press reports. ha fewer than 300 delegates. whereas the Progressive Conservative Convention will total 1313.

Nearly 500 French s speaking delegates will attend the Conven- tion. 'I‘hcse delegates come from nil provinces 0f the Dominion. and included amonsfit them will be a number of Acndlan descent.

Well over 300 newspapcrmen. radio station personnel. and cam- cramen, both still and motion picture. are expected to cover the Convention.

The Resolutions and Policy Ccmmitice of the Convention. consisting of 193 members. will meet two days in advance of the convention. at 10 ant. on Septem- ber 20th. The chairman of the Committee is I-‘redcrlck G. Gardin- er, K.C. of Toronto. and the Sec- retazy is Robert L. Stanfield of Halifax. Seven sub-Committees will consider resolutions falling into their special fields. The Ex- ternal Affairs sub-committee has 25 members: Agriculture. S3: Lab- our. 29: Natural ftelources. 30: Social Secuzity. 26: Veterans. 25 members, as has the Taxation sub- committee.

Iowa Shipment Cf P.E.l. Swine ! Rated As Best

l

What is described by Mr. H. W. Clay, senior live stock field- man, Dominion Department of Agriculture, as the fin€st car load of pui-o bred swine cvcr to leave the Province, is now ilcar- ing its destination at Davenport, Iuvn.

The sixty pure bred sows and two pedigreed boars which com- prise the shipment are in the can; of Alex. Waiters oi‘ Emerald. Inoculated against shipping fever

and immunlzrd against hog cholera — a (Win52 which, Mr. Clay said is r0. icr common in

Iowa _ the shipment is consigned to Dr. W. J. l-luls of Davenport who is one n! the largest swine breeders in the United States. Mr. Clay slated ycsierdzrv that‘. in his opinion, no shipment of hcgs ever to leave the Island previous- ly, had as much significance for the P. E, Island Swine Breeders‘ Association as this one. He said Dr. I-luls had intimated that If this car load of Island swine was of as high a quality as he expect- ed, the P. E. Island Swine Breed- ers‘ Association could be sure of a standing order from him of two such cars yearly. While all the sixty sows are of pure bred stock, not all are from qualified dams. Dr. I-iuls would have preferred to have the whole sixty sows of advanced‘ registry stock but the constant drain by Central and Western! Canada importers on Island swinc, had made it impossible to fill his order with advanced registry sows The two boars. he said, were top grade animals. One, Wood- stock Duke, 70B, was raised byl Almon Boswell of DIIIISIHIIIIBKI‘; and sold hy Harvey Jenkins or, Brnckiey. This animal is a full brother to vlioodsioclc Duke, 14A. who holds the All-Canada record as a. producer of advanced registry stock. The second boar. n young animal, "Brcadalbanc' Copy,“ was raised and sold by Norman Mathescn r-f Brcndnlbane. This boar is out of the qualified sow, "Montville. 28A.“ Mr. Clay said this will constitute one of the

shipment bent

advertisements for Island swine that the P. E. Island swine Breeders‘ Association have ever

had. Its arrival ls being looked forward to with a great deal of Interest by several of the largest swine breeders in the Central States and since he is confident that its quality will surprise many of the American swine breeders. the Island breeders may expect other inquiries from Dfflspecilvi’ American purchasers within the next few weeks.

Mr. Clay said he liapes to per- suade Island breeders to Increase their production of quality stock. for which there ls a tremendously expanded market.

and proudly report that Youth is in the lead for prompt replies.

Urges Immediate Top Killing Cf Irish Cobblers

Mr. S. C. Popplu Warns CI‘ Danger 0f Blight Rot To Potato Crop.

“Immediate top-killing of Irlsn Cobbler potatoes is absolutely ne- cessary if Island farmers are to control the spread of blight and possible tuber rot,“ urged S. C. Peppln of the Division of Plant Pathology of the Science Sonnet iii an interview yesterday. SIJzSS- ing the seriousness of the presunt situation he added that it ls "vii ally important that all potato growers top-kill not only seed bu: also table stock."

left with green vines after ‘t. October." Mr. Peppin pointed out tha‘

where a field had been planted late and the stalks were still glean and there was little evidence of blight. an increase of betviec: 26 and 35 bushels per weel. oer acre might be expected. “In ‘,4; a. case it is up to the indlv ziaaf farmer himself tc decide whether he W111 83111 by this increase or lose by the possibility o1 .,,;_ Howevr, where blight is rampant in the field there ls no choice but to top-kill immediately." Concluding his interview M“. Peppln warned that "under no circumstances should the crop be harvested in a year such as this unless and until the tops have bren dead for at least two weeds."

P.E.l. Ilolsteins Civen High Rating

The average quality cf the Holstein cattle in the Province is equal to that. of any othci‘ Province in Canada, according to Mr. George M.Vau Patten, Aylmsr, Ont. who is in the Province grading ccivcs for the milnhers of the Holsiciil-Fbcisiail Associ- ntion.

During the last Iuo days. All‘. “an Patten has inspect/ed lie licrds of Premier J. Jones. Mcssrs R. A. PrOIiii, Frcc. town; Cecil Stewart and Sons. Hzimpslire, and Lloyd wqugh, FTcetcmn.

A 10d what. he thought of the Holstein herd of Premier Jones, Mr. Van Patton said the average quality of the Prenuiefs hcrld- was high and that in it them were several outstanding indivi- duals.

Mr. Van Patten said he wns impressed with the Island as an agricultural Province. There was less waste land here in prom".

in Canada. In no other Province had he sOCn such uni. formiiy of crop growth or such general agricultural prosperity,

City Council To Meet Government

M

The dale for the mccting of the City Council with the Pro- vincial Gnverrliicnt at which the Council will ask for an increase in its annual grant has not been fixed, it was learned last night. It is understood that should Premier Jones decide to niiend the conference of the Empire Parliamentary Association to be held in London next month, the: meeting will he postponed until after the Premier's return.

One of the main reasons for the Councils appeal for an in- crease Is due to tho loss of fines from cases under the new Temper- nnce Act. while under the en- forcement of the Prohibition Act they fonmerly received a pcr- centage of fines under that act. The lcss of this revenue was brought about during Monday's City Council meeting \\’ll€ll n notification frcm Attorney Gener- al Large was read. discontinuing this source of revenue.
