UITAWA, July iii-With e. fair chance that her first stations may be in operation by the end oi 1949. Canada is negotiating a bargain with the United States that will give her the right to certain television broadcasting channels along the border.

BERLIN. July 26 — (C P) Q Britain and the United States hit back at the Russian blockade of Berlin tonight with a. ban on moyg. ment: of trains to and from the Russian zone of Germany.

tions." The Western Allies also took the offensive on another front,

The ban on trains to and frcrn i-he Soviet zone was ordered by Gena. Lucius D. Clay and Rob- ertson. lt was effective at once.

A British spokesman said all Central European railway routes between the Benelux countries and the Soviet acne, as well as the more southwesterly rail lines across Bizonia to ltaly and Swit- zerlnnd are affected by the order. Couipled with the British-Amer- ican suspenslon of Ruhr steel and coal shipments to the Soviet zone after the Russians started the blockade, the Western Allies’ re- strictions on rail traffic are bound tn have serious effects on Eastern Germany. the informant said.

The fact that

Island farmers

- have received a cash income this

season of at least $50,000 from their strawberry crop indicates

' the increasing importance of small

fruits in the agricultural economy of the Province, Premier Jones stated yesterday. ' ‘ Island famriers would be well advised to go in for the growing of raspberries as well, the Premier suggested. The cost of shipping this fruit by air to American markets is do higher than that for shipping strawberries and the returns are much greater. He added that the cultivation another profitable investment for the small farmer ‘as soon as the “Cli-

Ihfldditlon to strawberries, rasp- berries, and blackberries, the small farmer could derive consid- erable profit from a cherry orchard carefully planted and looked after.

So far this season. it is estimat- ed that Matthews-Wells co. Ltd. have handled 125.000 quarts of strawberries. 100,000 quarts have been shipped by plane and nil- proximately 100.000 quarts to Nova

ferries. What the domestic con- sumption has been is not known but a conservative estimate is ap- proxhnately 1l_50,000 quarts.

Not one person aboard the Rim- ouski Airlines chartered plane survived the ill-fated flight. Most of the ,assengers were luirnberjacks employed by Consolidated Paper Corporation.

Actual cause of the crash may never be known. But evidence on the cliff-top and from persons who heard the last roar of the DC-B’: engines indicated a desperate fight by Pilot Emerson Mills to save his passengers and his ship.

Scarcely a foot below t 8 peflk were marks showing wher the aircraft first struck.

The issue, another bottle be- tween Russia fand the Western Powers, is certain to go before the United Nations Assembly in Paris this fall. Delegates here sl- rendy have given up trying to agree on atomic controls.

By a 9 to 2 vote, the working committee of the United Nations commission on conventional arm- aments decided in effect there is no use talking tlbout regulating and reducing armed forces and armaments until Russia and. the other big powers agree on a. Un- ited Naticns police force. the atom bomb is controlled and peace treaties are made with Germany and Japan.

The majority was made up by Canada, the United States. Brit- ain, France, China, Colombia, Sy- ria. Argentina and Belgium.

Russia and the Soviet Ukraine voted against the majority. The Russians charged Britain which originally called for a vole, with trying to scuttle arms reduction talks.

The full commission must ep- prove the committee's action. The same delegates sit on the com- mission and the committee. Then the decision must go to the Sec- urity Council, again made up» of the same countries. ,

Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton is Canada's representative. _

Delegates meanwhile are‘ laying plans for a full debate on the arms and atomic issue in the As- sembly.
