The work of re-fitting and re- modelling the engine repair sheer of the Island Division, Canadian National Railways, in Charlotte- town is proceeding steadily in pre- paration for the conversion from steam-powered engines to Diesels

Mr. DN. Gender, general super- intendent, motive power and car equipment, Atlantic region, Canad- ian National Railways, Moncton. ma, who was In the city yester- day, said that it will be several weeks before all the necessary changes 1n the repair shops will be made.

some new equipment, including two heavy jacks which are operated by ‘compressed air and a modern radial drill have been added. The blacknnlth shop has been runod- eiled and work is still going on in the men's lunch-room and in the (wash-room. The two wash bowls in the latter r0<m are the latest design in such equipment. Circu- lar in fomi. each has a diameter of six feet and the pressing of a button causes a circular spray of water to fall steadily over the bowl.

Coal Shed To .60

I Mr. Gonder said the conversion Ifrorn steam to oli will remove all necessity o,f the Railway maintain- iing its large coal shed in the City and the building will be torn down. The conversion will also result in , the abolition of ash pits and the ex. pense continuously involved in (he removal of ashes from the yards i and roundhouse. Two tank cars have been refit‘ Ilad for the maintenance of an oll supply in the yards. The total cap- iaci of the two tank cars. about l5. gallons. will be sufficient. Mr. Gender said, since the Railway will depend upon the large tank ifit Borden for its main source of uel

Once the conversion to Diesels is complete. the change in the cleanliness of’ the yards and the ex- terior of the neighboring resident». ,ial area should be marked, Mr. ‘Gender said. The elimlnatlOn of [the great expense incurred by tho Railway in hauling coal for its i own use will also be a welccrrie fea- ture as will the consequent release of those coalcarehto its patrons for the bringing of coal to the Prov~ I lnce for dtfnestlc use.

Mr- Gonder said he had no idea when the remainder of the Diesels W111 arrive. ‘The two already in the Province are operating on the Charlottetown - Murray Harbour

‘(route and are giving full satisfac- rtlon. The remaining 13 will be 1m;- er and consequently more power.

Deuei urged tlhe Home of Rep- resentatives Agriculture Commit- tee to approve legislation removing "restrictive taxes" oll olecmargar- lne. The committee ls holding public hearings on 18 bills propos-

Jag to end alll special Ibderal tax- ‘ea on oleo. The dairy industry op- poses removal of the levies.

Deuel, professor of nutrition at the University of Southern Call- fornla, said he has reached the conclusion that: _

“Cow's mill: fat may be the ideal fat for growing calves, (but) there is no reason to suppose that a sim- ilar superior nutritive value might ‘hol-d for tihe human baby."

Deuel read a British scientific Piper saying that "human milk fat in regard to‘ its component acids has snore resemblance to a typieat TrTIItXEIYIBO fat blend than to beetle:

Expect Favorable Report

A mokeuman for the Department of Public Works iruforrned the Guardian last night that he has réason to believe the report of Mr. Vlllnndrg will be favourable. The spokesman expressed the opinion that the marine Ill-p would not cost more than $200,000 since It would not. be built for the aC¢0mm0dl' tion of ships larger than 1.500 tons.

The intention, he said, was to equip the marine slip with what are known as transfer cradles so that as many as five ships of 1.600 tons could be moved up the slip sideways above high By this means, he said, continuous work could be provided during the Willie: months for all the availlhle machinists and ship workers in the City. He said no other slip in the Marltlmes was equipped with trans- fer cradles,

Askcd if the Provincial Govern- ment_lntended to operate the allp, the spokesman said “No? The Gov- ernment vmuld provide the facil- ltles and any firm competent to do ship repair work (would be allowed to use those facilities. But there would be no monopoly of facilities, he said.

As member of the committee for Prince Edward Island, it will be Mr. MacNaughi/a particular charge to interest himself in the status of veterans of that Province. He will bring to the attention of his col- leagues such inequities or griev- ances as may be submitted from either veterans‘ organizations or individuals from P. E. I. Moreover he wiiii point out any disparity at which Prince Edward Island vet- erams find themselves as compared to those of the other provinces.

Members oi.’ the delegation from

the Maritime Provinces here point out that Mr. MecNaughVs nomination to tihe veterans’ af-

fairs committee is made in recog- nition of the splendid record of the Province in enlistments in the armed services and (he merohani navy. It is also, they say, recognit- ion of Rrlnoe Edward Island as a Province with rights equal to its eight sister-provinces. The Island has no representation on Hour committees already functionInG 0i‘ nominated including the prices. Indian affairs and human rights groups.
