~ After two terms as High Sheriff of Queen's County. Sheriff J. G. MacFadyen. lockedthc doors of his office for the last time yesterday afternoon. His resignation went into effect on Saturday but sheriff MacFadyen, who has six months "leave of absence. remained on duty until he heard that Mr. John Boston. his former bailiff, had been appointed to the position. it is eaipectcd that" Mr. Boston's lip

poliltment will be approved today by the Lieutenant Governor.

Sheriff MacFadyen succeeded Mr. Anthony Dougan as slaei-iff and was sworn in on Julie 3rd. i908. under the Saunders Govern- ment. I-Ie retired on Sept. 3, 1931, and was succeeded by Mr. John P. Bradley.

0n Sept. 3, i935, he again be- came Sheriff and has held the of- fice contlnuously since that date until his resignation.

During his sixteen years of o'- fioo Sheriff Mac-Fadyen escorted sixty-six persons to Dorchestei Penitentiary on charges ranging from manslaughter to theft. Their sentences ranged from 35 years to two. Of the four persons convicted of manslaughter, whom he escorted to Dorchester, one was a woman.

He was Sheriff of Queen's county at the time of the double hanging tn the Charlottetown jail on the morning of Aug. 20, i941.

Made No Enemies

Asked if he had ever had any llllllStlfll experiences while conduct- ing Sheriff's sales in the County, Mr. MacFadyen said it was a mat- ter of satisfaction to him to be able to say he had nevermade any enemies in the performance of such an unpleasant duty,

He recalled being obliged to go into a rural district on a pamcu larly disagreeable day to conduct a Sheriff's sale. It was raining very hard and he was wet to the skil as evening approached. Everything about the farmer had been sou except a. hundred hens. Although the proceeds from the sale had not fully satisfied the execution, Site:- iif MacFilxiyeil declined to sell the hens on the ground that ii. would be unfair to deprive the husband and wife of their last means of earning a few dollars.

Before departing, Mr. MacFad- yell noticed the mall and woman taking a bag to the back of nis car. He paid no further attentilll to the incident until arriving home. Upon opening the bag. he found that the husband and wife, oat of gratitude for the Sheriff's con- sideration. had made him a. pre- sent. of six fat chickens.

His successor, Mr. Beaton, be- longs to East. Royalty and hgibggn Bailiff for Queen's County for several years.

Prepaid Policy Discontinued

Officials of the Swift Canadian

191701198113’ here said yesterday that it had been their custom to prepay the ear-press on chicks shipp- ed from their local hatchery out

‘that the increased carrying charge had forced than to discontinue this practice.

In a large egg business such as ‘theirs. where two or three trucks ‘of eggs are-handled daily, the in- crease will often amount to fifty dollars or more. But this, they pointed out, is only half the picture. If it costs am additional fifty dollars to bring the eggs into Clmrlottetown from Island

nmoh more to send them to the mainland.

Another largo egg deals-r said the new rates would have other ramifications, inasmluch as the price of eggs to Great. Britain will lnot be raised to conform with the higher cost in transportation by rail to Halifax, Saint John or Montreal. That means. he claimed. that the benefit derived from the recent food agreement with Great Britain has been wiped out.

Affects Feed Costs

Another factor emphasized is that the minimum rate on a bag o; feed has jumped from 40 cents to 60 cents, so that the farmer's profit on a. case of eggs is not only cut down by the higher ex- press charges. but. is further r.- duced by higlher feed costs.

0m cgg dealer figured yester- day that the new rates represent an additional cost of $75 on a. car of eggs going to Toronto. This placed the Island producer at all enormous disadvalitaS-B ailfllnsi- Ontario ccnapetitiors who can truck their product in at ilo more expense than formerly"

On return from yesterday's air ica patrol, Mr. Angus Brown, of- ficial ice observer for the Depart- ment of Transport, stated that the steamer track from the St. Law- rence River via Bird Rock and Capo Ray was open and in good condition at time of observation- Thc track from East Point.

Guardian Editor Named To Council 0f Empire Press Union

TORONTO. April l0 — (CP) — Howard P. Robinson of‘ the Saint Joihn ‘firms-Globe was re-electcd honorary chairman of the Canad- ian Section of the Empire Press Union at the body's annual meet- ing here Wednesday night.

Senator W. Rupert Davies, pub- lisher of the Kingston Whig-Stan- dard, was re-elected chairman.

TI‘. Drummic of the Saint John Telegraph Journal was rc-elected honorary auditor and J.R. Burn- ctt olf the Charlottetown Guardian was one of a group elected to

represent the Canadian Section on the Council of the Empire Press Union.

A committee of the Canadian

Section announced tentative plans for the seventh Imperial Press Conference, which will be held in Canada in 1950.

It was proposed to hold the conference in Ottawa June 28-30 and to precede and follow it with a tour of Canada lasting about six weeks. On tlhc tour, some 60 del- egates frcm the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and the col- onies will visit all Provinces.

The committee met under its chair-man. Victor Slfton, publish- er of (he Winnipeg Free Press and newly-elected president of the Canadian Press, following the annual meeting of the Canadian section.

l The WEEK at S. D. U.

In the Stucents’ Union elec- tions held lhst week, John B. MacDonald was chosen President, Russell Arblnz. Secretary-treas- urer, and Wilfred Driscoll, Vice- president. John S. and Wilf were both elected with a substantial majority, but the position of Sec- retary-treasurel- was so closely contested between Russell Arb- ing and Charlie Kelly that a sec- ond ballot was necessary in order to secure an absolute majority. (There were four candidates on the first ballot).

I

In our column last. week, we said that campaigning had been kept to a minimum. But during the week-end things livened up considerably. At a mess-meeting of the students the candidates were introduced, and each spoke briefly to the students. One particularly interesting phase of the election this year was the almost complete absence of campaign platfmms. As John S. said in his speech to the student-body, "I am not go- ing to begin by making promises, because I know that you, the elec- tors. are not going to bc led by promises this year."

l O O

But promises or no promises, the candidates’ campaigners thor- oughly canvassed the student- body before the election. Charlie MacDonald suntncd it up pretty well by saying, "lt (the canvass- ing) reminded me of the political campaigns; about the only thing they didn't do, us‘ have to do, was kiss the babies."
