Charlottetown club yesterday: Looking on and getting into the spirit of the bonspiel are only a few of the 160 team skips who entered the bons-

ing delegates at all general imeetings of the Federation. | A great deal of discugsion took place on the question of lobster trap limit and lobster fishing li- ‘cence restrictions. RESOLUTION PASSED

A resolution was passed com- imending the federal department ‘of fisheries’ work in this do- imain and urging the department

|to continue its efforts to imple- |

|ment legislation to control the number of traps which fish:r- imen can fish as well as deter- lmine the number of fishermen 'who may engage in this fishery. | It was suggested that the P.E.I. Fisheries Federation leommittee, representing the fish- lermen particularly, whose fune- tion would be to make strong ipractical recommendations to the department -€oncerning lob- ster trap limit and

-Dr. Dewar said he saw no point in making the plan public. He said “it may stir up contro- versy in some districts and con- troversy could be better settled by discussion.”’

Kings County Liberal William Acorn suggested there was com- pulsion on the part of the gov- ernment to form consolidated school districts. He said the gov- ernment pays $6,000 per class- room foward consolidated elem- entary schools and only pays $2,500 per classroom for. other schools. ‘The compulsion as pect,”’ he said, ‘is the extra $3,- 500 per classroom.

He said today’s changes are ra- pid_and_an ultimate plan cannot be given promptly. “It’s a mat- ter that requires detailed study.”

In closing the debate on the resolution, Mr. Campbell said ‘wwe don’t suggest a binding plan. We want an overall plan.” Hee said financing was the big problem in education, involving school taxes and taxes general- ly. He said that in every district people are asking ‘‘what are you ‘going to-do about-taxes?””.......

Mr. Campbell said that unless there is some plan, the freedom that will be taken away will be the property owner's right to en- joy his property lost by taxes.

Of the play itself Mr. Zouvi said it was ‘‘very interesting.” He said that the play was an extremely difficult one and had a very difficult style to bring alive. This ctyle in Mr. Zouvi’s opinion was not brought out. “It lacked humanity and just plain guts,” he said. He was: also dissatisfied with
