OTTAWA (CP) — Premier W.R. Shaw of Prince Edward Island said Thursday he is “quite satisfied” with the statement issued earlier by Works Minister Walker on stu- dies as to the feasibility. of constructing a causeway to P.E.I. from the mainland.
Asked in an interview whe- ther Thursday’s meeting among federal and P.E.I. of- ficials encouraged him to be- lieve the causeway. across Northumberland Strait will be constructed, Mr. Shaw said:
“The whole thing is still un- der investigation. Nobody can say anything until the findings have been compiled.”
He was satisfied, however, with the progress of studies made to date.

TORONTO (CP)—The president of the National Dairy Council said Thursday the federal govern- ment “antagonized” butter con- sumers in Canada by its recent below-cost sale of butter to Brit- tain.
E. A. Lewis of Calgary, in a speech to the Ontario Creamery- men's Association, called for gov- ernment policies to stimulate con- sumption of Canadian-made but- ter rather than margarine made from imported vegetable oils.
Mr Lewis referred to recent government sales-to Britain to-
around 56 cents a pound. The but- ter was from stocks bought under the government's price support program at 64 cents a pound,

OTTAWA BUREAU OF THE GUARDIAN
“Considerable progress’ tas been made on the study of the proposed P. E. Island causeway, public works minister David Waiker said Thursday im an in- terim report on the Aurvey.
Mr. Walker’s statement, some 300-words long, made no mention of when the report might be fin- ished.
He stressed the. difficult and complicated nature of the prob- lebs that needed to be considered and mentioned in some detail five outstanding problems still being studied. As an indication of the faét that the full report, is pro- bably still a long way-from com- pletion, Mr. Walker commented “the five points referred to above are just some of the examples of the difficulties involved on which full information is not yet avail- able.” ‘
The information was given by the minister at a conference) which included fisheries minis-' ter Angus MacLean and other Prince Edward Island MPs and Premier Walter R. Shaw and members of his cabinet.
Mr. Walker told the conference that the crossing of an ocean strait nine miles in length, would
Some of the information gained from the preliminary studies which are being continued are as follows:-
1. “The construction of a cause- way would bring about an in- crease in the range of tides throughout the whole Northum- berland Strait varying from 0 feet to 3 feet. In addition to this, water levels in the strait would vary up to 3'2 feet from thoze ex- isting at present. This would re- sult in a differential between op- posite sides of the causeway of 7 feet at mean tides and as much as 10 feet at high tides. A pre-
diction of storm surges during)
bad weather, had to be added to the changed tidal ranges. The
Similar Strait Crossing Said ‘Never Duplicated’

which might be effected by im- portant changes in tides are be- ing recorded. Complete descrip-
tions are also being made of the types of shore line on both sides of the strait which would be affected.
