Scores G0v’t Neglect

A .'l‘0‘ Provide

OTTAWA. Dec. iii-(Specisb- Charges the neglect cf the Can- sdian G-ovorsimolii to provide reefer cars for transport oi Prince Edward Island seed potatoes u; Florida and the southern States was causing cancellation of certi- fied sled potato orders and de- priving the Dominion of needed United States dollars were levelled in the House ed Commons this afternoon by W. Chester S. Mc- Lure. Progressive Conservative member for Queen's.

On a question of privilege, m. bfclrure took xception to ‘Prens- port Minister Ohevriel-‘s suggestion early this week that he was too much preoccupied with other mat- ters to know what the reefer car situation was.

Despite cries of “order” from Government supporters and the intervention of Speaker Dr. Gap pard Fauteux, the Queen's member insisted on the vital need for thc cars in order that Prince Edward ‘bland potato shippers and grow- ers could meet their United States contracts.

Although denied the right to read a telegram from a. leading shipping firm and others associat- ed with it, Mr. McLure said for the record:

“Dealers who have booked certi- fied seed orders in the summer and fall are not receiving suffic- ient cars to transport their seed potatoes to Florida and other Southern States, and consequently are losing out on their orders. "when?" he asked Mr. Chevrier. "will the Minister of Transport have these refrigerator cars ready for the shipment of these pota- toes?"

Nettled at Mir. McLur-tfs charges, the Minister claimed that no ques-

Parliament Takes Recess llntil Jan. 26

OVITAWA. Dec. l9 -- (C?) -- Parllament‘: “ememency” pre- Christmas session recessed at 10:16 p. m. EST toniflht until Jan. 96 having accomplished little in the way of tangible action.

In session since Dec. 5, the legislators had seen the introduction of several bills but the passage of few. Tonight's closing sltiings saw the extension of the Agri- cultural Products Act from Dec. 31 to March 3i.

However. that bill would have run to March 31 normally had not Parliament met before the end of the year, The same sltuailon applied to other emergency powers that the session stretched out to March 3i.

The sitting did permit leaders on both sides of the Commons to get off some of their major speeches. which might serve to cut down on the length of resumed session.

rented well-known BTitlSll insur- ance companies in this city. ' Mr. Stewart was in his 91st year, but was remarkably alert and lug- orous for his age. Until quite ye. cently he had. taken an active part in the business and social life of the community,

A native oi Charlottetown, he was the last surviving son of the 119° R058"- Brucc Stewart and Helen Stewart Birnie. of Stratu- gartney. a descendant oi Chief Justice Peter Stewart. His family connections on both sides extend- ed to the earliest British settle- ment days. His wife, who pre- deceased him in 1901, was form- erly Miss Dorothy Pope, daughter of the Hon. William H. Pope, a: one time Colonial Secretary and Judge of the County Court in this Province.

Mr. Stewart was a lifelong ad- herent of the Church of England, and a membe cf St. Paul's Church and of st. John's Lodge, A.F. and A.M. 1n his younger days lie was a keen sportsman, and played u-el‘ the games of tennis, curling and golf. aHe was also a literary en- thusiast and lover of the arts. Hc rarely missed a tine musical or educational entertainment, and was exceptionally well versed in pro- vincial and Canadian history.

Kindly and courteous in his aemeanour, and a charming con- versatlonalist, his figure was fam- iliar bo all classes of Charlotte- town citizens. among whom he was held in the highest regard.

Mr. Stewart ls survived by two sous. Mr. Kenneth Bruce Stewart. at home, and Capt. Hush Ronald Stewart, of Ottawa. The latter arrived home yesterday-before his father had passed away.

The committee and adminis- tration have been particularly messed by Representative Edith Nouns Rogers (Rep-Mass) for curtailment of fuel oil experts to Canada which have increased 3B5 per cent in the first nine months of 194'! over the same period last year.

The committee was told that Canada has a stockpile of about 2.000.000 barrels but that was heal by the Commerce Department to be not unreasonable.
