U.K. Listens To Canada,
Begins Tooting Own Horn
By KEN METHERAL Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP)-—Bri-tain. acting
in friendly advice from Canada, Tuesday began tooting her own trumpet.
With a ceremonial flourish in.
the members dining room of the House of Commons. she launched the annual review of British in- dustries for 1958. a glossy 136- page report that fairly sings iwth pride as it relates the achieve-
ments of British inventors, "c'i‘en-' tists. engineers and techno-logists.; Publication of the review comes‘
less than 24 hours after the re- lease of the report of the 50-man Canadian trade mission which visited Brita-in last year. The re- port praised British craftsman-
ship but said British manufac-I
tiurers had not told Canadians in Canada sufficiently often or loudly what they had to sell. BLOWING OWN HORN
R. Reader Harris, Conservative Member of Parliament and one of the men responsible for pub- lication of the review, said one of the reasons it was produced
i'\\'as because of complaints from
iNorth America that “we don‘t blow our own trumpet loud enough.”
“Well, we‘re blowing it now," he said.
Foreign Secretary Lloyd pre- sented copies of the review to George Drew, Canadian high commissioner to the United King- dom, and to Ambassador John Hay (Jock) Whitn ey of the United States. He asked that the copies be forwarded to Prime Minister Diefenbaker and Pres- ident Eisenhower.
Drew said his copy would be taken to Canada Thursday by Sir William Rootes, chairman of the Dollar Exports Council who is heading an 11-man British trade mission to Canada. The publica- * tion is to be handed to the Cana- ‘ dian prime minister Friday mor- I ning.
I, Drew said Canada offered “un-_
Ilimited business opportunities”
for United Kingdom manufac- turers. But they must “get right
idown to the purchaser in Can-I
lada” to be successful.

Since that time twelve other Clubs have been or- ganized. It is of interest to note the number of cattle bred to each breed. The Holsteins head the list with 4453 followed by Shorthoms 3460, Herefords 1981.

Find Weather Balloon At Orwell Cove
A weather balloon, carrying in- struments for measuring high stratospheric disturbances was found by Jerry Kamphuis of Charlottetown and Nico Visser of Orwell Cove, on Sunday about 25 miles from Charlottetown.
When they first discovered the balloon, they mistook it for a tangled mess of fishing net.
Upon further investigation how- ever, they discovered the tangled cordage of two parachutes. Near- by, in a cardboard box, were the remains of what was a weather baloon. Inside the box were vari- ous types of apparatus used for measuring atmospheric conditions
Information in the box showed that the apparatus was the pro- perty of Electrical Engineering Research of Tuft’s University in Boston, Mass. A tag attached to one of the pieces of equipment showed that the balloon had been launched on February 2nd of this year.
In about two days, the findings will be on the way back to the re- search department of Tuft’s Uni- versity where scientists continue to study the atmospheric condi- tions that surround the earth’s surface.
