"The C s n s d i a n Corvette should and must hold a high place of honour is the hearts and minds of Canadians," said Mr. Barter. "and it is our duty as naval veterans to see that the memory of these ships does not die, for if Canada is to have I naval tradition. the Corvette must be a great part of it."

Mr. Barter said. "They were little ships but they were man- ned by big men-big in courage. big in faith and big in loyalty--

The president thanked the City of Charlottetown for the gift of one of the life preservers of H.M.C.S. Charlottetown which will hang above the plaque in the club rooms.

Commodore calling on Tommy unveil the plaque said it was only the men who manned the Canadian ships that produced the results. He said these men came from all parts of the coun- try and seemed to quickly absorb the many naval traditions.

Two Other Changes Are Expected

OTTAWA tCP) - Hon. Davie Fulton will quit his justice port- folio to become full-time minister of citizenshi and immigration. it was reported Wednesday.

Progressive Conservative quar- ters also said that such a move probably would result in Solicitor- General Leon Balcer switching to the more important ministry of jus.ice.

The report followed an indica- ton Tuesday by Prime Misister Dicfenbaker that he has changed his mind about keeping Mr. Ful- ton for some considerable time in the dual job of Justice and citizen- ship minister.

CHANGES MIND

The prime ministcr told report- ers that he "wouldn't be sur- prised” if there were soon I change in his earlier - expressed

to carry on in the two major port, folios through the new parliamen- tary session opening Oct. H.

Meanwhile, it we s reliably learned here ,that Dr. Sidney E. Smith, president of the Univer- sity of Toronto. will become the next minister of external affairs. a job held by Mr. Diefenbaker since his party took office June Ill.

The Fulton-Balcer switch would serve the purpose of putting each of these ministers into regular portfolios generally regarded as more important than the ones they now hold on a permanent basis.

Mr. Fulton, 41-year-old former Rhodes scholar, is the regular justice minister and is acting

i ' i of chi ” and immi- gratton.

Mr. Bait-er. 39.--has been re- garded in some quarters as hav- ing been "given a minor portfolio as solicitor-general. a post whose major function is that of decid- ing on remissions of criminal sentences such as executions.

GRUMBLINGS HEARD

in recent years. the previous Liberal government either com- bined the solicitor - generalshlp with the ministry of Justice or gave it to the Government Senate lcadcr largely as a means of per- mitting him to sit in on cabinet meetings. Since the Conservatives as- sumed office there have been some brumblings from Quebec that Mr. ilaiccr was not ade- quately treated in being given only the office of solicitor - gen- eral.

He thought that last year's show in this class had been phenomenal but this year it was even better. Mr. Wright stated that there was a hundred per cent improvement in cattle quality.

Mr. W.R. Shaw, former Deputy Minister of Agriculture express- ed the opinion that such exhibit- ions as the Mt. Carmel-Egmont Bay fair are very worthy pro

a great deal of support.

POTATO SITUTION

Regarding the potato situation Mr. Shaw said that there is I wonderful crop this year. Pric- es. however. are uncertain. The total Canadian crop is estimated at 60 million bushels. He said it was a good idea "tn feel out your supply to the market-don't hold too long."

Mctriiimer 3 In Cabinet

OTTAWA (CPI-Dr, Sidney E. ' Smith, the University of Toronto's witty, urbane and accomplished president. is to be Canada's next full-time minister for external af- fairs. it was learned Wednesday.

Prime Minister Dieienbaker. who also has been holding that portfolio since the Progressive Conservatives assumed office June 21. offered no comment about the appointment.

However, Dr. Smith is sched- uled to come here Friday. and his appointment will be an- nounced then. it was learned.

CONSIDER RESIGNATION

The university's board of gov- ernors meets in special session to- day to consider the resignation of its 60-year-old president.

The appointment would answer criticism in newspapers and po- litical circles about the prime minister carrying two heavy port- folios. Discussion belween Mr. Dtefenbaker and Dr. Smith begal two weeks ago, culminating II agreement last weekend at Han- over, N.H., where both received honorary doctorate of law de- grees from Dartmouth College.

Speculation here is that Dr. Smith will be offered the "safe" Toronto Greenwood seat in the Commons now held by .l M. Mac- donnell. 72-year-old minister with- out portfolio. Greenwood has never returned a Liberal mem- ber since it was constituted as I riding under a 193:! redistriburion.

SENATE SEAT

Mr. Macdonncll would be ap- pointed to the Senate. possibly as government leader. Present Con- servative leader in the Senate is Senator John l-islg. 80. of Win-

ntpeg.

A 60-day interval is required between the calling of I by- election and the voting. meaning that Dr. Smith could not be in the Ytiommons when the Queen opens Parliament Oct. 14.
