Coal supplies in the City-and, for that matter. in the Province- are only sufficient fbr the next ten or twelve days, according t: estimates furnlahed,yesterday by local coal dealers. _

The firm of A.

They have only a lim- lted quantity on hand, perhaps not more than enough to supply their customers foa- tho next two weeks.

W. D. Cvlilia and Company state their supplies are also limited and that they are doling their best to see that no customer is securing more than his reasonable share. Glllis and Company's coal sup- plies will last. no more than ten or twelve days under normal covndi- tions of demand, a member of the firm said yesterday.

Oh the other hand. Mr. H. R. Isarge of H. R. Large and Com- pany, said they had considerable quantities of cool on hand with several cars at Tormentlne await- ing transportation to the Province. Mr. Large did i101, think the pro- posed strike. should it become effective, would create much hard- ship. He said he believed that. should the strl-ke become a fact, the Domniion Government would have coal diverted from Montreal to the Maritlmes. Asked where that coal would come from, Mr. Large said it would be American coal. Asked if he believed the United States was mining enoush coal to lock after its own require- ments and supply an additional quantity to. that it was already exporting to Canadtl. he said he was confident the United Stat

dealers interviewed agreed with Mr. Large.

Premier J. Walter Jones, asked by The Guardian last night whether he contemplated declar- ing a condition of emergency should the threatened coal strike become a re-llity, said he had not‘ given the mutter any consideration.

There is no Coal Controller in the Province as the position was abolished some time ago. Mr. L. B. McMillan, retifed Deputy-Min- ister of Public Works and High- wuys, formerly held the posltbon.

liave nHT Snow For Frolic

NORTH BAY, ont, Jan. 29 - fCPl-This Northern Ontario city, Bait-WHY to a part of the Province usually blanketed with snow from November to May, today had to carry smw to its business district for n slsighridc parade which launched North Bay's second all- nual snow frolic.

Faced with the problem o.’ bare downtown streets. the city's works department sent snowplows a.nd snowloaders down side streets for loads of snow. Trucks, retracing their tracks of last week, carried the snow to Main street and dump- ed it. A grader finished the job of providing a. white carpet foir blocks down the ccnitre of the city. ‘Ilhat difficulty overcome. frolic started in earnest. Crowds of north country residents throriged the business area and pushed close to the edge of the sidewalks as the parade moved through thg heart of the city. Sleigh; pulled by prancing horses and ponies slid over the packed anoiw of the roadways. Slelghbelh llngled, slelghriders shouted greet- ings to acquaintances they recog- nledd on the sidelines and children darted in and out of the crowd as they tried to keep up with the pro-

c on.

Adding to the atmosphere of frontier days were numerous men with heavy beards.

Import

a Potatoes This Year

Strachey Reveals Plans To Import large Duaiitltles 0f Feed Sralns; Dlieaper Than Meats, Dairy Products, Eggs.

LONDON. Jan. Q-(CPJ-Fiood Minister Strachoy told a press conference yesterday that Britain would begin tllc importation of potatoes this year from various countries. "including possibly Am- erica." l-lc said potato consump- tion in the islands had risen M per cent since the imposition c: bread rationing.

LONDON. Jan. 29—(R€lllt?l'5)~_ A f-‘FYPUC I'M-Kiri! liiade yesterday by Food Minister Strac-iley. that “We hope to be able to import the right filings for feeding pigs and ‘poultry later." rcfcrs to the D18 DPQSDWUVQ imports of fced grain. fhey will be by far the biggest since the outbreak of the war.

Strachcy made the remark at n press conference in which he dis-

cussed phases of Britain's food problems. His reference to "later" moans

that a large part of the feed grain imports may not arrive uitil the fall. But the shipments s ollld start. increasing soon. It ls authoritatively indicated here that the total quantity. when it can be announced, will be found gratifying.

Feed grains from both North America and Argentina are dear. though not nearly so dear as wheat. But it is cheaper to im- port feed grains at almost any price than to imiport the meat. dairy products and eggs whidl they produce. Britain's shortage of hard currency thus works in favor of buying‘ more grains as soon as they can be bought.

UITAWA. Jan. &_(gp;_.,p-b llasnent meets tomorrow to open a session which observers licre expect will be another long. lvr-ary affair studded with brisk debate 0n the question of continued gov- ernment controls.

The sitting which ended last August lasted 5% months and, from the amount of legislation the government is expected to introduce, tllcrc appears to be little indication that this session will conclude any sooner than did the last.

However. as the House is meeting a month-and-a-half ear- lier than it did this time last year, it is likely it willl rise ear- liel‘. possibly around the enti of Juno or Inilfl-Jllly. -

The session, third of the 20th Parliament, will open at 3 p.m. tomorrow when commoners go to the Senate to hcar the 'Spr~etl.i from ihc Throne, the medium through which the Government outlines its legislative program for the sitting.

The usual procedure then is for the Commons members to return to their own chamber. sit a few minutes and rise for the day. Next day. a traditionally short Friday. the House will meet for an hour or so and adjourn until Monday afternoon. when the session proper will begin with the opening of thi- length-y de- bate on the reply to the Qoeech from the ‘Throne.

The Throne Speech is expected to place emphasis on the need for passage oi measures to con- tinue controls which otherwise will expire when the National Emergency Transitional Powers Act, under which they were car- ried over from the -- war period.

— lapses March 31. An alternative

would be to seek another exten- sion of the Act.

The izroundtvnrk for this legis- lation already has been laid with the announcement two weeks ago of a major decontrol step which was regarded hero as a move to clear restrictions the Government did not feel it necessary to put into statutory form.

Thus, with the control program whittled considerably. the Gov- ernment is expected to ask only for retention of those controls which it believes should be kept tr‘. stem inflationary advances in tho costs of rontals, clothink. food and other essential commodities.

In addition to price con- trols, the admtnist ' also likely will sock the continuat- ion of pnwors to ensure the steady flow of meat. wheat and other foods to Britain and other purchasers of the products of Canada's agricul- tural Industry.

Other legislation to be placed bcfore the House likely will con- cern measures to strengthen the authority of tho reconstruction department. particularly in the field of housing. and to make valid the recent rc-amalgamatlon of the three dofcricc departments.
