Vaughan. m, president in charge 0i’_ Pu?- chases and stores, declared today u. .. statement replying to resent u-lilcisms of the Canadian Nation- fl mllways for the rc-opening of me mines of the Rail and River goal Company, a. subsidiary of the wgdim National.

"With regard to the recent crit» gm of the re-opening of the mines of the Rah andlRlver Coal company, a subsidiary of the Ca- nadian National Railways, on the usumption that the operation of lhgse mines is depriving Canadian lqsi miners of employment. it may b; stated very definitely that this ls not the case as not a single ton bi coal obtained from this source l; being used on any section of the Canadian National system where it is possible to use coal from ihe Nova Scotia mines, or from any

“w 37°33. Jan. M-A hero of the Ill came in port today with I2 men he had saved from a sink. in: British freighter in mid-Atlal-l. W. but he would have none oithb credit for the feat which old sea. men had hailed as "remarkable."

The Ilim vow macier of the American. Merchant, 30-year-old Giles f“ ‘ Steadman, stayed in his cabin while harbour craft oi all kinds set up a. cacophony o! noiee—New York's welcome of whis. ties. He went about his muting duties while the ship heeded m. ward a pier loaded with cheering amide.

It was the accuracy of a wire-

less direction finder, he said, that enabled the American Merchant last Friday to locate the battered Exetea‘ City, after her bridge had been carried away, and her skip.

Per. third mate and two members of the crew had been ewepc over-

board by a 50-foot wave. And it was the pouring of 85 tons of oil

onto the turbulent sea, 1,575 miles east of New ‘York, that enabled the_ American ship to get close enough to the floundering freighter to shoot a line across, send over an empty

lifeboat, and pull back the 22 sur- viving sailors. But those 22 sall-

ors celled Btedman a hero, and there were tears in the eyes of some of them as they sang his

praise.

But Siedman. who in 1035 saved

20 men from a sinking Italian drip, held up a forbidding hand when anyone mentioned the word "hero,"

and" much of his praise was for the

"stamina." the "fortitude" of the‘ rescued men-those men who had

faced likely death for hours while

they scanned the skyline with hag, gard faces for sight of some rescuelg.

Many Heroes

As Captain sfedman. the five passengers on his ship. his own crew and the Exeter City surviv- oru told their stories, they placed he clown of hero on many a man. Thfle was Henry View Iothlsn. the young British wirelrss opera‘.- or, who stuckto his post through- out the "night of terror." as some called it. Mountainous waves swept over the ship. Water crept into his little room. He had to keep his batter-la dry. His aerial had been washed away, but when dawn came he built a new one and then sent the S O S on which 22 lives depen- d”,

‘Ilhere was the cabin boy Ray- mond Lewis. 15, the youngest oi the Exeter City crew, who worked all night bailing water with a buc- ket-"and never‘ whimpered once." one of his shipmates said with a chuckle. Then there was 70-year- old Alfred Howell. able seamen, the lost man to see his sldppe-l- and the other three victims alive. l-fe had been cut while pouring oil on the troubled water before the storm reached its greatest fury. Blood poisoning had developed. His arm was in a sling. But he had stood

In order to straighten the ac- count. he had placed one order against another, some receiving more than the amounts charged against them, others less. This was the explanation offered this after- noon by Roland G. starkes, Opposi- tion membcr of the Legislature for Green Baynin connection with ir- regularities in relief administration in his district. He is being tried in Supreme Court (on 72 charges of forgery, uttering forged documents and receiving money under false prctonccs.

Starkcs 'l‘akes Stand Conditions were extremely bad in his district during 1931, he said when lie took the stand in his own defence. As head oi’ the Northern Trading Company, individuals owed him between $30,000 and $40,000. He had kept money oft‘ relief llst by a $20,000 lumber operation which returned to him only $800, he told Raymond Gushue, counsel for the defence. .

He could not recall whether pr not the wood-cutting operation had been authorized by the Govern- ment, Starkes said, on cross-exam- ination by L. E. Emerson, Attorney- general. It was part of his regular business. ‘

He admitted signing orders for others, when they had neglected to do so. He had marked such orders with an "X" to indicate their na- ture. In illustration of his method of balancing accounts, the accused. when asked why Samuel RendelPs name had appeared signed to five dole orders when he had received only two sacks of flour, replied that “Rendell didn't need more, but his next door neighbor did. He had given the neighbor more supplies than the orders called for and the surplus had been placed against Rendells name.

A Scottish exile sat in St. Paul's Hell, Summerside, Wednesday, Jan- llilfy 25th and thought himself back home.

There was the tartan, there was the Bonnet, there was the Broad- sword, there were the kitted lassies dancing the Highland Fling, and there was song after song bringing back old memories of brae and glen and burn. Songs sung with feeling and enthusiasm and with a good deal of the Scots accent which cer- tainly has not died away in Prince Edward Island. And above all the name of Robbie Burns was‘ extolled, "Rxlviil" "Rantin" "Robin," the great hearted Lad 0' Kyle, whose genius has come closer to the universal heart than any poet who ever saw the light o‘ sun.

And illc great evening cndcd with all ihc old warmth and enthusiasm and kindly feeling that a Burn‘s Concert always evokes.

~ cated Importance

.0f Personal Initia- tive And Independ- ence.

The importance of individual in- itiative and independence in over- coming depression and in develop- ing and maintaining of prosperity was stressed by Hon. G. Shelton Sharp. Minister of Agriculture. in an address before the Y's Men's Club last evening. Every individual should make full use of his intel- lectuni faculties and talents with the object of carrying 0n existence and building up a home. rather than depend upon the state for those things which should be the result of personal endeavour. As regards dependence on the state, Mr. Sharp believed that there was a general trend toward socialism in that one respect. Reference wuss made to the days of the forefathers of this generation, who came out to a. new country and with admirable initiative and independence carved out» ironies for themselves. The present generation had more or less lost that spirit. Economy and thrift were very important attributes of the individual who was carrying out his responsibilities. Through the initiative and independence of tllc individual would be built up the prosperity of the home and of the a ilatioii. -

Y's Man, Dr. MacLaughlin was the chairman of the meeting, and tendered the speaker the thanks of ihc Club.
