Congratulations to the Summer- side Aces for winning the Island Intermediate championship for the second year in a row. So far their record this year looks better than it did a year ago. Last year they downed Borden, 0'- Leary and Milton to gain their title. This year again they elimin- ated a smart 0'Leery learn. but their achievement in from Montague seems to us to be more praiseworthy. In beating Montague they conquered a squad that had triumphed over two Charlottetown aggregations whose rosters included the pick of cap- ital city hockey players. except- ing, of course. those on the Island- er pay-roll. The Montague team itself is composed largely of hoc- key stars living In Charlottetown. The Aces, with the exception of

-One of the most destructive fires to take place in Alberton for some time occurred yester- day afternoon when a large mod- era potato warehouse owned by Erskine Clark was burned to the ground. Origin of the fire is un- known. Mr. Clark left the office at 12.15 p.m. and when Rosa Getson. an employee, returned to work shortly before one o'clock the building was filled with heavy

smoke. .

The Fire Department respond- ed promptly to the alarm but were unable to enter the build- ing for more than brief minutes because of the dense black smoke thought to be from the mutation board with which the inside walls were covered.

The warehouse 30 x 60 feet. built in 1949. was of modern frost proof construction with the ex- terior Enlshed in insul brick sid- lng. The basement contained 14 potato bins with capacity of 1.000 bushel each. the ground floor could accommodate about 12.000 bushel in bags and the top floor about 8,000 or 9.000 bushel. giv- ing a total oapacir of 34,000 or 35.000 bushel. approximately 45 car loads.

Speakers for the Pmgrcssive Conservative. CCF a n d Social Credit parties welcomed the legis- lation but said the government should pay full municipal taxes on alliits properties. They said the two-per-cent provision should be eliminated in a move to help mu- niclpalitles improve their acute fi- nancial position.

moral duty of governing bodies to guarantee all of its citizens protection against extreme ex- ploitation. "This is the major ob- jective of this Government," said Mr. MacDonald.

The fact that the Commission

the books had been left out dur-

own rules and regulations." l-le particularly appealed for the cause of working girls in his dis- trict, many of whom. he said. were not making enough to pay for the clothes they wear without help from their parents and at the same time were required to work 41 'y long hours.

"I would not favor a high min- lmum wage scale but I am anx- ious to see that every person who earns a living will get his lust reward." Added Mr. Mac- Kay, "If we would have a pros- perous Province. we must legis-

late for all classes. including labor. ” Mr. George Saville said: "A

laborer is worthy of his hire." lie felt that labor formed a very important part of the Provincial economy. He was opposed to al- lowing help from outside e Province and suggested that wherever possible the local lab- orer should be given the prefer- ence.

Mr. R. R. Bell said that his party was in favor of a minimum wage act but pointed out that

e ' " tion had been brought before the House eight years ago. He could not understand why it was being introduced now-unless for election purposes.

Premier Matheson said the problems relating to a minimum wage law were not easy and that careful study in regard to class- ification of employees would have to be taken into consideration be- fore anything concrete could he arrived at.

Dr. MacMlllan said: "I wel- come this blll." He agreed that the matter had been introduced to the l-louse some years ago when he himself was a member of the Committee. ”We didn't do anything about it. because we had no money to do it with. That has always been our drawback- lack of revenue,” he said.

''It is a pity that something is not being done before this Fed- eral bullding gets into full swing,” said John A. MacDonald. ”Labor should be given to those who need it, without consideration of political affiliations." STANDARDS OF LABOR

I-Ion. Eugene Cullen explained the reasons required for study of the legislation. He said it would be necessary to have standards of labor before a wage scale could be set. and that this would require considerable research. Mr. Alan Stewart said he didn't like the comparison of farm is-

At a late hour last night fire was still burning in the base- ment and will probably continue to do so for some hours.
