Hope Exprtssed F. And M Disease Under. Control

OVITAWA. May 30 -(GP)-The Canadian Government today an- nounced a' two-month extension in the current floor price for beef and indicated that Canadais meat shipments to the United Kingdom may almost double original esti- mates. ,

Agriculture Minister Gardiner announced this in the commons and added that he believes foot- and-moutli disease in South Sask- atchewan is under control and the placlng of test animals on infect- ed premises will begin next week. The animals will be under obser- vsilon for so days.

Originally, the floor price on beef-26 cents a pound for good steers at Toronto and Montreal- was scheduled to come under re- view before June 1 and possible be changed July 1. However, Mr Gar- diner sald developments in the marketing of cattle and sale of meat have been so favorable that it was decided to keep the support price firm until Sept. 1.

The floor varies regionally. For good steers it is fixed at 23.86 cents I Pound at Winnipeg. 22s cents at Saskatoon, 22.55 cents at Ed- monton and Calgary, 23.4 cents at Vancouver and 25 cents at Mon. cton.

All the color, Joy and sadness of a traditional convocation were pre- sent yeaterday morning as Prince of Wales College graduated its 92nd class. The ceremonies were held in the College Auditorium in the presence of a. large number of relatives and frinds of the stu- dents. ,

Chairman for Commencement Day was Hon. A. W. Mstheson, Acting Premier, who after wel- coming those present said that

Prince of Wales College has a wonderful record. He expressed the sincere wish that "neither

those who teach here, nor we in Government who administer its affairs, will ever do anything to mar the record which has been set down through the years."

As the hundreds present for the occasion stood the Fourth Year graduates slowly marched down the aisle and mounted the plat- form. They were followed by the official party and prize winners and students of other classes. The graduates were all gowned in the traditional black, but on the main floor of the Auditorium the girls

and producer minds." Mr. Show said. "With export markets com- pletely cut oi'i', trade restrictions imposed by some provinces, and supplies of all meats backing up on the market. it is rather re- markable that meat prices have not deteriorated to a greater ex- tent than is actually the case. "Hog markets have been maln- talned at the floor level, even though there is an apparent sur- plus of product, much of which is at present in the form of approx- imately 20 mllllon pounds of can- ned pork. which although mainly unsold, has tended to relieve do- mestio pressure. "The floor price of twenty-flvc cents on beef has had a good ef- fect in stopping market recession. and in this respect the floor price was not intended to apply on 'Good' or 'Bluo Rlbbon' beef alone. other grades are pxpected to auto- matically take their place in con- formity with the 'Good' s rprico of twenty-nvs cents, accor g to its grade, quality, and dressing per centage. While it is true that low- er grades under the circumstances have not conformed to an estab- lished floor, I feel that this prin- clple will be fully applied, as soon as supplies begin to move to ex- port markets and to domestic coli- aumptlon on a constructively de-

"Unfortunately," Mr. Darby add- ed, "because we are a small Prov- ince and because avenues of em- ployment are not so readily appa- rent, wo are prone to overlook our own possibilities and seek more obvious chances elsewhere. Given the will, the questing mind and the courageous heart, you will find that opportunity can lie here on your own doorstep and in your native Province. "What we need here is a more positive attitude of mind, and the full utilisation of the natural abilities of our children; you can become the messengers and the advance forces in the struggle to eliminate the spirit of negation that seems to have predominated in our own estimate of ourselves."

"I feel greatly honoured to have been asked to give the address to the graduating classes of Prince of Walos.College," Mr. Darby said in his opening remarks.

Lobster fishermen at Alberton this week their heaviest loss of fishing gear in many years, it was learned yesterday. A continued heavy swell at sea yesterday pre- sented an accurate estimate of the losses but from reports coming in it was indicated that thousands of traps and miles of rope were de- stroyed.

At Tignlsh Run more than 3.000 traps were destroyed. Officers of the Tignish Fisheries factory at Jude's Point where there are about 50 boats said that about one-half of the 14,000 traps in the area will be lost or badly damaged.

It was reported that fishermen who were operating outside of six fathoms escaped with little dem- age but practically all gear in the four to six fathom depth was a complete loss And because lobsters were more plentiful inshore this year. it appeared that many fisher- men were caullht in the shallow water.

OTTAWA. May 30 -(CP) -The army today issued its 113th cas- ualty list of the Korean war, re- porting one man killed in action and one officer and five men wounded. The last. previous list was issued two days ago.

This brought to 019 the number of casualties so far suffered by Canadian troops in Korean action including 145 dead. 605 wounded. 61 injured. seven missing and one captured.

May 30 -(GP)-The R.c.M.P. is watching for any signs that Moscow intends its Canadian minions to get into the current trouble-making the Com- munists are promoting in various coutrles. so far there are no such signs and the thinking in informed places is that they are unlikely to come for two main reasons:

1. The lessons of the last decade indicate that the Communist movements in the United states and Canada aren't hitched to the agitation-schedules of the party in Europe and Asia even though both are obviously bossed by Moscow.

2. The recent troubles in France. Germany, Algeria. Japan on Koje Island and elsewhere have come

However, he expressed regret that-the cer- iificates were being awarded al- most entirely for mechanical cour- ses and that the enrollment in agriculture had fallen off.

"Whatever trade you may have chosen, it you stay in this Province you are going to be very close to agriculture," he emphasized, ad- ding that perhaps it would be advisable to carry on agricultural instruction throughout the Prov- ince. nitl:x.er.1ban:.injhs school.
