(By The Canadian Pull

OTTAWA. Dec. 2l-.An official investigation into the collision of I-I.M.C.S. Micmac with the freight- er Yarnlouth County last July 16 has attached the blame for the accident to the officer command- ing the woman, Cmdr. J. C. Ilitt- ier. DSC. of Victoria. the Trans- port Department announced to- night.

The accident, which occurred in heavy fog ofl Halifax harbor, re- sulted in l1 dead and l0 injured. The Mlcmcc at 2.000 tons was damaged heavily by the i0,000-ton freighter and haslnot been repair- ed yet.

The report. signed by Commis- sioner Mr. Justice W. F. Carroll, Judse in Admiralty of the Ebrcheq- uer Court for the district of Nova Scotia and by the assessors, Com- modore G. M. I-Iibbard and Capt. Robert. A. Goudey, statedz- -

"The damage, loss of life and iluury to personnel was caused by the default of the commanding officer of the Mlclnac and not by the default of the master of the Yarmouth County."

Cause of the collision according to the finding of the court was that the Micmac "was not sound- ing its siren and entered the fos at too high a. rate of speed and placed herself in a position from which she could not extricate her- self. The fault attributed W the Yarmouth County of not proceed- ing at. a moderate speed did not in. our best judgment contribute to the collision."

Suggest Price Ceiling 0n Butter

OTTAWA. Dec. 21 - (C?) -A temporary price ceiling on butter has been urged by the Canadian Association of Consumers in tele- grams forwarded this rweek to Fin- ance Minister Abbott and Agric- ulture Minister Gardiner.

Widespread concern is being ex- pressed by consumers over the ralpldly soaring price of butter. Mrs. Rsl. Marshall of Aglncourt. Ont" (LAC. president, said in her telegram to the Ministers. She urged that a. control be put on the retail price "for the next three or four months." during the win- ter period when production was at its lowest, and most butter pur- chased by tllc consumer was stor- age butter.

In a statement released today fom the C.A.C. headqua eels here, the president was quoted as say- ing that much of the butter at ‘f5 cents-a-pound-iri" Montreal. at '11 and 7'2 cents in Ottawa, and at from 68 to 72 cents in Toronto was storage butter. which was _purcbased 4mm Jhewproducer at much lower prices, and which at the time ‘it was purchased was gelling for a far lower price to the onsumer.

"It is ridiculous that butter which was selling to the consum- er at 66 or 6'7 cents a pound should suddenly be selling at anywhere from ‘I0 to 75 cents." said Mrs. Marshall. "We know that most butter which is sold during the months of January. February, and March, is butter which has been placed irl storage, and it is rea- sonable to expect that the cost of storing it will result in a slightly highes- price to the consumer."

In conclusion she‘ said that housewives throughout‘ Canada (fluid not afford to pay 75 cents for a pound nf butter.

Continuous Reefer Supply ls Promised

OTTAWA, Dec. 21- (Special)- Prio: to leaving Ottawa. for his home in Simmer-aide this week- end. J. Watson Mao-Naught. Lib- eral mamber for Prince, sought and. obtained assurances from Transport Minister Chevrier, and top C.N.R.. officials that there would be a. continuous supply of reefer cars at key points in Prince Edward Island to move potato shipments to southern United States and other points where firm orders have been concluded.

"Mr. Chevlier informs mo that United Statas railway companies have sent up a number of reefers to take cars, of certain potato shipments to Florida and other points in the southern United Sta-tel." My. MaoNaught told The Guardian shortly before boarding the train for the Marltlmes Sat- urday afternoon. "In addition. reefers carrying perlshables to Saint John and Halifax are being routed to Prince Edward Island after discharging their loads."

Mr. MacNaught explained that on December 15 there was a total of 220 reefers on the Island. which la 25 cars more than the normal number at this season. Usually. he said. the Canadian National Railways try to have 200 cars av- ailable for potato shipments at this time of the year, a number which takes care of three days full loading.

Western Beef Shipments

This week-end, trains of refrig- erator cals carrying cargoes of western beef for shipment to Great Britain are speeding to the Mari- tlmes through Eastern Canada to make connections with one of the larger food-carrying boats now docked at Halifax.

At the request of potato grow- ers and shippers of the Province. Mr. MacNaugllt first came to Ot- -tawa-lr+—the1atter~-part 02-Novem- ber to discuss the reefer car ques- tion with Mr. Chevrier and rail- way officials. It was recognized at that time that P. E. I. certified seed was a. commodity which brought a considerable volume of United States dollars to Canada and hence was entitled to special consideration in the matter oi’ re- frigerator cars.

Mr. MacNaught expressed the view that in the light of present commitments made by the Canad- ian National Railways. there is no dancer of cancellation of orders for RE. I. certified seed for south- ern United States points. ‘rile U. S. ‘market for seed remains firm and under present conditions. it is probable that deliveries will he made as speedily or more so this
