on margarine is unconstitutional in that it is a Federal statute in- fringing on Provincial rights ‘lflddl’ the British North America Act. Senator Euler's bill would fulfil individual rights.

To reject it would be to favor a “particular clans" over. the mass of .the people, particularly in the cities, where the poor could not afford butter. He urged the bill be sent to committee for detailed study.

Opposed to Margarine

Senator Kinley said he had en- Joyed seeing two corporation iaw- yers-Senators Campbell and l-lugessen-speck out as champions of the underprivileged.

He did not like the constant im- plications that a selfish group was preventing the public from‘ having something. -

There had been "terrific pres- sure" from urban newspapers for margarine. '

Senator Euler asked: “Are yoil suggesting that the newspapers are being bribed?"

"171 only say that. money is the root of all evil," Senator Kinle retorted. ' '

Be eald butter ls cheaper in Cari- ade than in any other country.

He chided proponents of the Euler bill for saying two years ago that margarine was nearly as good as butler, for saying last veer that it was-as good and for saying this year-it was better. -

He eusuested that they had an ililnrestyln ending the ban. In the United states. agitation for wider use of margarine had brought out many bed features about it, It had only, been brought in there by "a back door" judgment of the Supreme Court.

Senator Kinley was against margarine because it , would pii. large producing monopolies sill-lei- "the little men" who produce but-

Mayor MacDonald coalcluded his address ‘by saying: "Friendship and lleighborlinese between idle United States and Canada has been a. reality for 125 years and more because the pcvple have seen to it that mutual respect for each other and their confidence in a common boundary shall continue and that nothing shall. ever be allowed to

Exports Dwel- Half 0E Whole Dominion Total

Prince Edward Island potato -growera shipped approximately b1 percent a! all the tabie potatoes that Canada elnported from July 1, I947 to March 3i. 1948, according to a recent report frcizn the Do- minion Department of Agricult- ure. Du-rlng that time. $2.667 bu- shels were eloported from the Province compared to 810.782 bushels from the rest of Canada.

The figures for table stock ex- ports to the United States last month. when can-pared to those for March, 1947, show a decided falling off. Last month only 4,831 bushels went to the United States as cont/pared to 80,912 bushels in March, 1947. This disparity, how- ever, is not reflected in the over- all exportations to the United States of Island table stock for tihe crop years of,194il and 1.947.

The small export figure for last month's shipments of table stock to the United States is accounted for by the fact that exports of table stock to that market by n. ter last fall were much greatI than for the fall of 1946.

The report of the Dominion Department of Agriculture shows that, apart from the United StatenNewiioundlend is now the Island's best foreign market for table’ stock. 0.0m bushels went to Newfoundland last month com- pared to 1.077 bushels in March of 1046.

Other countries wilioh tdok Is- land grown potatoes for their tables last month Include Ber- muda, 1,000 bushels; Bil-llamas, 141! Jalrlaica, 038; Trinidad, 2.925: British Guiana. 2.956.

Total Shipments

Up to April 22nd. Inland grow- ers have shipped 5.135.000 bushels of the 1047 crop- 0f those. 2.276.800 busheYs were shipped to Canadian markets west of the Maxltisnes; 1.1.5.600 bushels went to the Un- ited States by rail.

1,020,110 bushels of seed went by water (most o4 it to the Un- ited States); and $0.400 bushels of tabiestod: also were shipped by the watc- rouie, Practically el of it went to the United States.

Three Splendid Plays Conclude Season For Little Theatre Guild

The three splendid one-act.’ plays staged at the Eizupire Thea- tre last night by the Charlotte- town Little Theatre Guild, was the crowning feature to s. highly successful season of fine enlel'-| tainment put on by this rapidly‘ expanding group, which has done so rnuch in the past year, to put amateur theairicafs bank on its feet in this community.

The three plays staged last night. the last for the season in Little Theatre Studio Night per- formances, played before a large audience, and met with the aarne whole hearted approval of the audience which has been char- acteristic throughout the entire season.

The plays, although all differ- ent in plot and deslgnfwere all well cast and directed, and all snernibers of the different mats did a marvellous job of portray- ing their individual c aracterlza- tions in comedy or rams de- pending on what the particular part called for.

The first play of the evening ‘The Return of the Inmigrant" was vurllten Mazd De. laitoche and directed by Mary Moran-

The plot. centered about the re- turn of Mary (Hifda Jenkins) from, Aitnerlca, where she had worked in sundry domestic jobs, to the home of her sister M88108 (MN-i Arthur Henry) in Ireland. Mary's tales about America, make lllCthl an impression an Kirsteen (Doris Downs) Maggie's only daughter.’ that she wants to go there with the lad she loves, much o the distress of her mother, ggie. who pleads with iher not to go. Mary, too, tries to dissuade her from going to America utl Klrsteen remains determined, and, at the finale, Mary breaks down] and confesses to herself, that she. wishes she were in Kirsteenbl. place, a young Irish coleen again. going to America for- a romantic adventure.

The second play. entitled "Shang- half’. written by W. stuckes and directed by Sidney J. Jeffrey, takes place in a sinister waterfront cafe. run by Mrs. Patch (Mrs. Herbert Fletch), the cafe in reality being only a "blind" to lure in solitary sailors to whom Mrs. Patch feeds drugged food, and when they are helpless. sells them to the cap- tains of rough tramp steamers, as crew members.

Flora. (Gertrude Doyle). whose brother Mrs. Patch had formerly shanglla-Ied, manages to gain eni- ployment with the oid_lady in or- der to wreak her revenge. The op- portunity for revenge presents it- self when Joe Patch (Sydney Jel- frey) whom his mother believed had been lost at sea, returns from an Australian prison where he had been since a young man.

The old proprietress, with the aid of Flora, helps drug her own son, not having recognized him af- ter so many years. and does not realize until the boat to which she sold hlrn has sailed, that it. lvas her son. As the scene" closes she breaks down in bitter agony for her sine. The role of Nora's lover, Bert, was very capably played by Earl Carmodyr

The last play of tile evening. but by no means the least. was entit- led "Heaven On Earth", written by Phillip Johnson and directed by Min Iphigenie Arsenault. It was centered around the quiet countryside home of Laura Hub- bard (Mrs. W11. Scantlebury) and lier husband Jim (Jock Lawson).

,'I'he plot. forms around their young daughter Jill (LorralneVnn

Maarlon) who becomes infatuated ivith a young man by the name of Adrien Illldgo (Barry Bugden) who is completely iackingdn mor- al and conventional principles of everyday life, and. instills these ideas into the girl's mind to a point where she agrees to go and live with him regardless of the proper matrimonial procedure.

However. on telling her mother of her decision, and fully expect- ing to create a family Vquarrel and scandal, the mother acts totally unconcerned over the whole mat- ter, end asmes to everything the daughter hiu: to say.

In the meantime, however, while the young couple are left alone ui the house, the mother conspire: with her husband. and a abort while later they re-enter the house, where they tell the daugh- ter that they like this young mmfs idea, and that. ‘they too, who have been sick arid tired of one anoth- er for so many years, are going to “bust 11D" and go out seeking new mates. This brings Jill to her senses and when she realizes what is happening, she pleads with her Parents to remain together, which 1-1191! are only too_wil-llng to do. 9111/1118 the Younk man out of the house, she resigns herself to lead- hls a normal, conventional life a- gain.

The part of Ellen. the maidmas played by Ethel Sutherland.

91114118 the evening. the musical interlude was provided by Mr. u. K. Presby at the piano, and Judge H. L. Palmer gave o. report, on behalf of the Adjudicating Con".- mittee, on the three plays pre- sented at the last Studio Night performance.
