Fair Allocation Of $8,000,000 Fish Order Assured By Department

OTTAWA. Ont, July 4 --(Svec- of the 8,000,000 worth of canned. salted and, piclg- led fish which 10mm two fifths o1 the food relief order for Europe announced recently in the House of Carnations. will go in-to action at the canneries and wharves of the Maritime Provinces as soon as the Commons votes the money an. lllfpplwnemalry estimates next week, The Guardian Jwas informed today from Flshenies Minister H. F. . Britfies Office.

Wihile prices for the new Europ- ean fish order will be generally lower than those paid for the UN RRA relief orders, mama 1e given that prices for sll types will be such as to give the fisherman and processor "a. reasonable return on labor and islvestmmt." 1t further hoped that the size of the order will have a beneficial effect on both the domestic and foreign markets of Canada's fisheries.

Full Allocation

Ropresentations made earlier

this week in Ottawa. lfl Deputy Ministers and by reprnemmlvas of the Idling industry have been gzlven “full consideration," The Guardian was seared todaly. More- over special attention ie being paid to fair allocation of the order not only among Provinces but among special fishing districts. Fish buy- ers, it -ls explained twill be given specific instruction; as to quant- ities and meoies needed in their respective territories, subsequent to sdvlue given government offic- ials on July 1 by a special advisory committee of the industry of which John B. Myrick of Charlottetown is a mienalaer. Mr. Myriok, Ottawa officials laid todavh-rngyde, particular represent- suono‘ is the Government on the advisability of the ptudhase offish for the European order to begin at the earliest possible moment. Can- neriee. above all those in Prince Edrward Islalnd, pr0ce§ only such quantities of fish as will meet their outstanding orders or which they feel they can dispose of with- mlt a large carry over.

Willing Ne)! 05PM"!

At the present time, fish are running well. catches are good and cantnerles sure working close to capacity, 1f however, the Govern- ment should delay its purchases, it would run the risk of finding cert- ain of the canneries shut down or working at, only a fraction of capacity, thus making it difficult for them to meet e. sudden large order for canned flsth.

Assurance was given Mr. Myth!!! that this factor will be token into consideration not’ only for the benefit of the cannerles and the fishermen, but In vie-w of the de- eirabillty of’ getting the canned fish to Dumps vahiegle it is needed as speed! as poss e.

Asked igy The Guardian as to Pirlnce Edward Island's share of the $8,000,000 fisheries ordcr s de- partmanttal official said P1911159 hi‘ location had not yet been made amd that he was not in l Dofimfll to give even an estimate. "But nev- er fear", he added, “Prince Edward Inland will get its fair share, just s; ms other Maritime Provlncel and British Columbia will. The I5- land won't lose out."

From Prince County 0n Flying Obiects

More Mysterious flying objects have been reported sighted in this province, this time by farmers 1B miles apart who saw the speedy objbcts at. about-tile same time and reported them independently.

James Harris, farmer, all Sher- brooke, about one mile north of Bummerside and his hired man, I-Iemian Linsletter were returning from working in the fienl about 5.46 Thursday evening atltcn they saw the object in the sky. Mr. Har- ris said it was visible for about five seconds, was travelling from north- west towards the southeast and "left what appeared to be a vapor trail extending about 50 yards be-

hind but which evaporated very quickly." Mr. l-larris said the object ap-

peared ‘something like n shooting star." 1t travelled very swiftly and made no sound He said it was "not large enough for a plane."

Ginrlottetwm was s city with- out. water or electrical power yes- terday for almost twelve hours when a main 14-inch water Line from the reservoir was cracked by a "ciamsheil" digger which was excavating a, culvert outlet across the Mount Edward Road some two miles from the city. -

It is estimated the loss to busi- 116s! and other firms depending on electricity for power and re- frigeration, will run into thous- ands of dollars. Many homes, un- aware that their water supply had been ,shut off, suffered in- convenience and scores of homes whose cc-oking equipment is elec- ideally-operated had to be con- tent with makeshhft meals. Many restaurants were unable to accom- modate their customers for the same reason. .

The water, after being shut off

at 10 a.m. yesterday, was restored about 9 p.m. and the electric light and power at 11.30. The power shutdown affected both local newspapers. The Patriot was unable to go to press in the afternoon, and it was not until early this morning that The Guar. dlan. after a day and partial night stoppage. got underway with great- ly curtailed ‘wire news, typo get- ting and stereotyping services.

Only place unaffected by the power stoppage was the Prince Edward Theatre which ran its scheduled afternoon and evening picture shows with an emergency plant installed some time ago.

The accident occurred yam-day. morning shortly before 9 o’clock, when an 911111111599 of the Island Construction Company, at the rc- quest of the Provincial Department of Public Works, was operating a digger for culvert installation. Ap- parently he had received‘ no in- itructions to watch for the buried pipeline. Oivlc’ oilficials, on the other hand, claim that they had no knowledge that this work was underway, and therefore no means of warning against an accident. The crash of the heavy bucket split the cast-iron pipe, causing a heavy leakage of water though not. break- ing the pipe entirely, It was re- paired by employees of the Servers and Water Department, who cut out and replaced about seven feet of the d aged section.

The o" eration took several hours, and when completed difficulty was experienced Ln reopening the water main valve at the reservoir, which had been closed for the repairs. ‘This caused further delay.

It is understood that there is an cmcrgency water main on the Mal- pequc Road which in the event of fire could be turned on, but it was claimed that use of this line yes- terday woalld have resulted in the water flooding back through the broken main. and that the break could not be repaired under such conditions.
