From other quarters, however, came predictions that the situa- tion will get worse before it gets better’ Some economists ex- pressed doubts that the upturn will come as quickly as Eisen- hower's administration believes.

Eisenhower expressed concern over joblessness, which rose to 4,500,000 in January, and over the shorter work week in effect in some industries. But he said he believes the United States has liad._most of its bad news on the unemployment front.

FORESEES PICKUP

"I\~an_f convinced that we are not‘ facing a prolonged downswing in activity,” he added. “Every iii- dicatioii~is that March will see the, start of a pickup in job op- p0rtu'nities."

Eisenhower issued what he called “a fact paper” showing what the government is doing to

"foster; economic recovery. He listed public works projects and highway programs, new defence contracts, housing aids and softer credit policies.

SOME CRITICISM Postmaster-General A r t h u r Summerfield outlined the plan Wednesday to the. Senate post of- fice committee, where sonie Dem- ocrats criticized it as inadequate to stimulate the economy. Private capital would finance about 75 per cent of the proposed program and- the government’s priposed contribution of $175,000,- 000 a year would be contingent on congressional approval of a five-cent rate for inter-city first class mail. The present rate is three cents.

At the commerce department, where» the February unemploy- ment count is under way, some concern was expressed that re- cent bad weather will push the

The funeral of the late Mrs. Fred MacDonald was held yester- day morning from the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Dr. J.D. Red- din, Mount Stewart to St. And- rew’s Church, where Solemn Re-

figures higher than anticipated. Administration officials have acknowledged that unemployment probably will reach 5,000,000 this month but they had been count- ing on a resumption of outdoor work to offset some of the job- lessiiess. . GIVES REASONS-

Eisenhower, however, gave two reasons for his confidence that the U.S. economy will snap back later this year. . _

“First, it is my conviction that the underlying forces of growth remain s t r 0 ii g and undimin- ished,” he said. “As a nation, we must provide the needs of a popu- lation growing at the rate of 3,000,000 a year . .

“Second, the firm policy ofthe government is to foster this re- covery in every sound way. I am making sure that we will go for- ward on every practical avenue of action . . ." ‘

The objective of the statement —to inspire confidence and avert any trend toward hysteria—was underscored by the fact that his words were recorded on film for television and theatre newsreels.

-Freight Traffic At Borden Down

Freight shipmentsxvia the Bor- den-"I‘ormentine ferry route dur- ing the month of January increa- sedrby almost twenty-five per cent in exports to the mainland and by approximately 18 per cent in imports to the province. This information was released Tues- day by the superintendent of the

Island Division of the Canadian National Railways.-

The number of carloads of po- tatoes shiprtd from the Island was responsible for a large por- tion of the increase in exports. A total of 1131 carloads were moved across the straits as com- pared to 935 in the same month of 1956. ‘

The movement of livestock was another big factor,’with thernum-, ber being almost double that of a year ago, with 112 cars as against 61. In another agricultur- al product, 81 carloads of turnips were moved to the mainland mar- kets an increase of 29 over the same period last year.

Other items which showed an increase were: 1956 in brackets: ‘meats 25 (12); fish 9 (7); butter

Over 1,000 members of the H01- stein - Friesian ’ Association of Canada attending the annual meeting in Toronto, February 5th, decided to postpone action for two years on a proposal to either refuse registration of bull calves with a black spot touching the hoof or else include an as- terisk_ in the name so that any- one could tell that the animal had such a black spot. In the mean- time, additional information on the incidence of the black spot markings within the breed would be gathered.

The meeting also asked that owing to the high cost of bulk tanks, at special premium be paid the farmer for milk shipped by this method. It was proposed that this premium would be absorbed by the distributor, since handling milk by the bulk method lessen- ed his costs. . OFFICERS » =

Trio May Be Departed -Soon

HALIFAX (CP) — Immigration officials said Wednesday no def- inite arrangements have yet been made for deportation of Joseph and Irene Plesner and their son David,- whose appeal against a deportation order was dismissed Tuesday.

The three, former residents of Toronto who disappeared l a st June and returned -to Canada Dec. 28, are in the custody of the immigration departme t awaiting final arrangements f their de- portation.

The two men were known as Arthur Morris and Len Jacobs when they operated a used car business in Toronto. Jacobs is wanted by Toronto police for prosecution on charges of crim- inal negligence and hail jumping.

Immigration officials said the trio might leave Canada, possibly on the liner Saturnia, next week but this is not definite. They said the final destination of the trio is not known.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The only thing that could turn the minds of this fun-seeking city from the carnival gaiety of the eve of Mardi Gras happened Wednesday.- »

It snowed. '

It was the first measurable snow in more than 20 years.

Even sober citizens immune to the fun spirit of carnival grinned at the floating flakes of snow» and the rare mantle of white over the blooming azaleas and camellias, the shrubs and the palm fronds.

But, temperatures that dipped below freezing at mid-morning forced cancellation of the horse ‘races at fair grounds and the postponement until Saturday of the downtown parade.

These unusual events deep in the bayou country formed only a part of a snow storm that moved in from Texas and brought simi- lar weather for much of the South.

The gently swirling snow fell= heavier west of New Orleans. I

Throughout the morning snow‘ reports filtered in from the ex-, treme Deep Soutl1—snow trace at’ Natchez and Hattiesburg, Miss., a flurry at Pensacola, Fla., flvur-I rics around Mobile, Ala.. andl Biloxi, Miss., on the ulf Coast. SOME SCHOOLS CLO ED I

Some parishes ’coun_ties) westl of New Orleans closed thier‘ schools. One parochial school in. New Orleans also shut down.

Snow continued to fall through the day in New Orleans and‘. looked as if it planned to keep up‘ through the night. A forecast of a 28 - degree minimum poised a threat of icy streets. There was a similar outlook in Mississippi.

In north Florida, forecasts. looked for the second snow of thel state's worst winter, a season{
