Gardiner Makes Comment On to i- Farni Prices

MONTREAL. (OP) - Agriculture Minister Gardiner said Wednesday Canadian prices this year have seitled at "levels more closely re- lated to supply and demand."

"Those affecting farmers have dropped before those affecting others, as has always been the case.” he said,

His speech was prepared for delivery to a luncheon of the Man- treal Advcrtisdng and Sales Execu- ive Club.

Mr. Gardiner said post - war policies aimed at preventing a de- pression helped keep farm prices lilgh in 1951 and 1952. This year they settled back.

"The development from a farm- ing. lumbering and fishing econ- omy to an industrial nation has not lessened our agriculture produc- tion.

"It has placed increased popula- tions in urban communities and given us markets closer to home for everything we produce on farms, excepting our great sur- pluses of wheat and shipments of live cattle." i -

PORTAGE DU FORT. QUE. (CP)-Wing Cmdr. George Ed- ward Nickerson of Kenora, On:., commanding officer of V Canl1da':; first CF-100 squadron, was killed in Tuesday night's crash of an all-weather fighter near here.

The 36-year-old veteran of the Second World War and his radar- navigator, Flt. Ltd. Kristjan Martcinn Eyolfson, also 36. of Leslie, Sask., died when their CF-100 apparently exploded in the air about 50 miles west of Ot- tawa. They were on a local flight from Uplands Airport where No. 455 squadron is based.

Wreckage of the all-weather fighter was scattered overa wide area along the bank of the Ot- tawa River.

The crash apparently happened about 8 p.m. Constable W. McNally of the Ontario provincial police said he saw what he at first thought to he a "flame" in the sky northwest of his patrol beat on Highway 17 between Arn- prior and Renfrew, Ont.

Clayton Thomas and Peter Blals, two other witnesses. said they saw an explosion in the air over Portage du Fort. There were other reports of a "blinding flash

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. (AP) - First ”deflnim” isolation and iden- tification of human infantile para- lysis virus was reported Wednes- day y a-University of California scian t-who said the develop- ment ”is expected to speed up the fight against polio." v

Dr. Wendell Stanley said." it paves the way for chemical analysis of the skucture of the germ. and thereby might conceivably lead to improved polio vaccines and pos- sibly even togthe ultimate develop- ment of a. chemical weapon to treat the disease. The research is sup- ported by the National Fundstion for Infantile Paralysis.

Stanley said two of his colleagues at the university's virus labora- tory at Berkeley have obtained "the first photographs definitely identifying the human polio virus” and have established with cer- tainly that it is a. spherically- shaped germ about a millionth of an inch in diameter.

Will Speed Fight

' Stanley made the announcement of the virus identification at the autumn meeting of the National Academy of sciences. convened at Massachusetts Institute of Techno- logy. and he amplified on the tech- nical details in an interview.

He told the scientists that virus of ”unusual purity" has been iso- lated-in small quantities so far -by means '0! special purification techniques. And he told a reporter:

"The new knowledge is expected to speed up the fight against. polio. primarily 'by providing more defin- ite facts about the virus.

"Now that the virus has been identified definitely, it will be pos- sible to analyze the chemical make-up of the disease agent and xi determine many of its proper-

Canada Wednesday remembered

her war dead. .

In pride and sorrow, the people

gathered around the big oenotaphs

and in the little graveyards across this broad land.

For two minutes, they bowed

bared heads to remember the more

than 100,000 men killed in three wars in near and far corners of the earth.

In the reverent hush which

spread from East to West as clocks

chimed 11 in six time zones, one could hear a choked-back sob, see

a tear on a. check.

In Canada's capital, a flock of Canada geese in V-formation winged high over the national war memorial as wreaths were placed at the base of the monument.

Massey Places Wreath

Hat in hand. Governor-General Vincent Massey mounted the steps of the memorial to place a. wreath for Canada. He backed down the steps, paused and bowed.

The second wreath was placed by Mrs. J. J. .Casey of Ottawa. Two of her three sons were killed in action with RCAF Bomber Command. one of them only is month before the end of the Second World War.

Mrs. Caseyls wreath was for more than her two sons. It was for all the lost sons of Canadian mothers. Whltefaced but calm. she walked slowly up the steps to place the wreath of maple leaves and poppies. Only-when she reiumed to Mr. Mosseyxs side did she take out a. handkerchief for a brief sec- and.

Standing with the govarnor-gen- eral and Mrs. Casey were Prime Minister St. Iiaurent. and one- armed Dr. C. B. Lumsden of Wolf- ville, N.S.. president of the Cana- dian Legion. They also placed wreaths.

Mist cloaks scene

An invisible cloak of mist fell from a leaden sky during the eight- minute ceremony, witnessed by some 20.000 troops and civilians forming a huge circle around the memorial. A faint breeze ruffled

the flags of the legion color party. No word was spoken. Legion

buglers sounded the "Still" when the govemor-general arrived. the "Last Post.” when the two-minute silence ended and "Reveille" after Dr. Lumsden had laid the fourth wreath.

LONDON. (Reuters)-The House of Commons has unanimously ap- proved a bill placing the Duke of Edinburgh ahead of Princess Mar- garet in line for the regency.

The Conservatives, Labor and Liberals all supported the bill on second" reading Wednesday night. The measure is expected to re- ceive its third and final reading -a formality in view of Wednes- dayls approval in principle - today and then will go to the House of Lords.

The quick action in dealing with the legislation is believed to have been prompted by the Queen's de- sire to have the law changed be- fore she and the duke start their trip to Australia and New zealand later this month.

Home Becreaary sir David Max- well Fyfe said Princess Margaret had authorined him to say she fully shares her sister's desire for the change.

Not sxoinaaa ,

He stressed that the bill does not exclude Princess Margaret from ever becoming regent. If the duke died. for instance, Ihe would again be automatically reagent.

The bill provides that, if anything should happen to prevent the Queen from ruling effectively. her husband would act as regent till Prince Charles. now nearly 5, turns 1!. The bill is an mendment to the 1037 Regency Act.

Labor leader clement. Attlee said there was "no question" of excluding Princess Margaret. who is "fully qualified to perform the services of regent."

But the Duke of Edinburgh. he said. is the "natural guardian of the children and the natural re- gent" if the Queen should die or
