_ OTTAWA (CP) — Federal min- isters told s Nova Scotis delega3 ilon Tuesday they will take before cabinet Thursday the problem of the Drummond coal mine at West- ville. N. S.

However, informants said there is little chance the government will do anything to prolong operation of the colliery, employing about 200 men and the mainstay of the 4.500- populatlon town. '

The mine faces closure if it can- not get financial help—bayond the current federal subvention pollcy—— in selling 38.000 tons of coal to the Canadian National Rsilwsys.

The delegation. including mine owner Henry Thompson. inter- viewed Works Minister Winters. Nova Scotia's Representative in the cabinet: Mlnes.Mlnister Prud- ham and W. E. Uren. chairman of the Dominion Coal Board.

NEW PLAN

The group put up a plan whereby a nearby mine of the Acadia Coal Company—produclng better fuel-

The annual meeting of St. Jos- eph's sub-division of the C.W.L., Kelly's Cross. was held May 2. with a good attendance. The Di- rector. Rev. James Smith open- ed _the meeting with the League prayer. The president, Mrs. Em- mett McQuaid. presided.

The president gave an excel- lent report in which she thanked the Reverend Director and the member: for their splendid co- operation during the term of office and asked that the incoming of- ficers be extended the same courtesy. goodwill and co-opera-

tion which had been accorded her.

The recording secretary. Mrs. Russel Nantes, reported eight

monthly meetings were held with a fair attendance of members at each. During the summer months a number of dances, a variety concert and a bazaar at the an- nual picnic were sponsorcd and during the fall and winter months, weekly card parties were held at the different homes. All of these were quite successful, financially. and a good sum was realized. The corresponding secretary, Mrs. Joseph Kelly reported on each meeting and all activities to the press.

Lastly the treasurer. Mrs. Am- brose Monaghsn. gave s com- plete report of the financial

standing of this sub-division. The card parties realized the sum of $853 while the other entertain- ments amounted to $196.50, mak- ing a grand total of $849.50. A contribution of $735 was given to

would sell its coal to the CNIT. in- stead of that of Drummond, turn- ing out inferior fuel. in turn, Acadia would collect a maximum $4-a—ton federal subvention plus a special Sl-a-ton from the Nova Scotla government. Mean- while. Drummond would take over the local market of Acadia.

So far as was known here. the Acadia company has not agreed to the plan. Nor has the Dominion Coal Board.

Officials described it as con- trary to the government‘: eubven- tion policy. which was nailed down for-_the current fiscal year ending March 31. lD55, at a cabinet meet- ing last Thursday. At this meeting ing, it was understood. the Drum- mond situation was taken into con- sideration specifically.

A cabinet informant llld Tues- day the Drummond delegation got "no encouragement“ for its new plan.

"They were told that the gov- ernment would look at it, and that warsll," he said.

and donatoins were sent to the Missionaries of Mary and St. Vincent's Orphanage, also a gift to Father McMillan on his leav- ing the parish, and another to our Reverend Director at Christmas. Spiritual bouquets in the form of high masses were offered for all those of the parish who died dur- ing the year. The National and Diocesan were also paid.

The total proceeds for the year just ended amounted to 3050, ex- penses $903, leaving I cash bal- ance on hand of $48.

The election of officers result- ed as follows:

President, Mrs. Quaid.
