A general tenor of ag- reement with the regulation pervad- ed the meetings, at Murray Harbour in t.he afternoon and at George- town in the evening. after the rea- sons for it had been carefully and fully explained by Dr. D.

New Contract For Ferry Co. Soughl By Delegation

Permission to run for an extra month and to make three trips daily with each ship is being asked by a delegation from the Northumberland Ferries Limited now in Ottawa to confcr with Federal authoirties.

At the same time the delegation will ask that passages be booked in advance, especially regarding the truck: carrying livestock in order that people may be advised by the company whether or not there will be room on any spe- cial trip they wish to make. To date livestock trucks have had priority on arrival at the pier.

The main purpose of the dele- gation is to negotiate a new con- tract for the company and in Ottawa for that reason are Capt. C. R. Hunter. Major A.

Below-Zero Temperatures Al Several Places

EDMONTON. (OP) - Prairie weather reoords continued to tum- ble Monday with the mercury and the snowflakes as a general un- seasonable cold snap kept the West wrapped up in winter toga. About half a. dozen well-settled areas on the Prairie shivered through the below-zero tempera- tures overnight. with the coldest spot in the west being Brochet, about 250 miles morth of The Pas in Northern Manitoba. where the temperature dropped to 27 below zero. Warmest spot was Medicine Hat, All.a., at 21 above.

Snow has been general but spotty across the Prairie since Saturday except in southern Alberta. Tem- peratures generally are 25 to 35 degrees below normal for mid-' April.

Edmonton's low of B was the coldest for April 13 in B0 years.

DENVER. (AP) - Viruses must pick up little shocks of electricity in order to cause sickness, a scien- tist has reported. This offers a start for new drugs against polio, flu, and other virus diseases. The drugs would be chemicals which preven-t viruses from getting their electrical charges.

Tells Story of Viruses

This story of how viruses work was described Monday by Dr. Theodore Puck, professor of bio- physics at University of Colorado's school of medicine.

Dr. Puck studied tiny tadpole- shaped viruses which attack and kill certain bacteria. Both the virus and bacteria cells carry ne- gative electric charges and repel each other. But when a chemical. in this case calcium. is present, the viruses pick up from it posi- tl"e electrical charges and are at- tracted to the cell.

This same thing seems to hap- pen with flu virus, which attacks blood cells.

It may be possible to make drugs which would prevent each type of dangerous virus from get-

ting the electrical charges it needs to attack its target can--nerve cells in the case of polio virus, for instance. Such drugs could pre- vent or shorten virus sicknesses.

Cancer Possibilities

If cancer cells are surrounded by different chemicals than healthy cells. it might be possible to select viruses which would kill cancer cells without hurting healthy ones.

Other scientists find the virus attaches itself tall fhst to a living cell.

It seemingly d-rllla a. hole in the cell, and then shoots its own chem- icals into the cell. These chomlcslr make the cell start manufacturing new viruses. In 20 minutes, 300 new viruscs are made and re- leased. The shell of the original virus meanwhile falls apart.

T'-- touch of the virus against the cell apparently triggers n chemical. an enzyme, in the wall of the cell, permitting the virus to drill its hole, Dr. Puck found. when chemicals are used to neut- ralize this enzyme. the virus can- not gct in, This may offer an- other approach to drugs to stop virus invasions. -

The Saint John-Lancaster branch of the ship-By-Rail Association has claimed that trucks are dam- aging highways by exceedlns IOHG limits and truck operators are not paying toward highway mainten- ance in proportion to this dam- age.

The auoclation has prepared a resolution asking the provincial government to assume the entire

cost of maintaining municipal streets used by trucks on later- provincial hauls.

It claimed that seine trucks

passed checking stations at night without stopping. and the cargo of two trucks was sometimes com- bined on one after weighing.

The Maritime Motor Transport Association has appointed a. spec- ial committee to deal with "anti- truck propaganda." Vice-President Curtis Bonnyman. Moncton, said trucks did not do the damage charged and members of his as- sociation were a.s much in favor of seeing trucks properly loaded as anyone else. Lack of uniform weight regulations in the Mar- itimes presented a difficulty to long haulers.

Though there are fewer precise forecasts than usual. the tendency has heen.to anticipate a fairly lenient budget. In particular. Bri- tish business is betting that this may be the year for some slight reduction In industrial taxation.

R. A. Butler. chancellor of the exchequer, put the final touches on this year's proposals in week- end sessions at his country home in Essex. Monday hn outlined them to the Queen, with whom he lunchcd at Windsor Castle. and to the Cabinet, which held an afternoon meeting.

In Buoyant Mood

Butler. recently hack from a visit to Canada and the United States. is believed in a buoyant

mood as he approaches his second budget. His personal reputation stands high in the Conservative Party. in the country itself, though economists might make many rcsvrvaiions, there Is an absence of the sense nf crisis and urgency which has shadowed so many post-war budgets.
