(0.11. By Guardian’: Special Wire)

MONCTON . N. 13., Oct. 12 Speakers today at the annual meet- ing of the Maritime Board oi Trade included Dr. George J. M. Truc- man, President of Mount Allison University, Ralph P. Bell, Halifax, chairman of the Nova scotla Home Improvement Board, and A. H. Whitman, Halifax.

Depressing problems confronted ltfarltime farmers. said Dr. Truc- msn. tariff barrlera long rail hauls to central Canada, lack of good lo- cal markets and only moderately fertile soil added to their troubles.

"Education has been seriously ne- flgcted, especelly in the rural communities." commented the Uni- verslty President.

Mr. Bell outlined functions of the l-Iome Improvement Plan, say- ing the interest rate of 3 1-4 per tent on loans was the lowest in the world. The scheme had been car- ried out very successfully in Nova. Scciia. and the amount expended tlils year undoubtedly would be doubled in 193B. .

Adoption by the Board of a reso- lution urging that the British West Indies Treaty be changed- when ft came up for revision in 1039 was suggested by Mr. Whitman. He ie‘t the. Maritime Provinces were los- in’; millions oi dollars yearly under the present treaty. ,

Mr. Bell, Dr. J. A. Clark. Char- lottetown, D. R. Tumbull. Halifax and 0. F. MaeKenzie, Halifax. took oar‘. in a discussion of the matter.

Commission Activities Reviewed At Opening Session—-Compre- hensive Address By Transport

C I Minlster. i ' MONCTON, N. 8.. Oct. lit-Tho airways, railways, national ports and radio situations in Canada. were discussed ' ‘ by l-Ion, c, 1), Rowe,

Minister of Tranaport, in an address at the annual meeting or the the Maritime Board of Trude.

Transportation was one of the first matters considere’ after the meet- ing opened today. Work of the Board's Transportation Commission was reviewed by tho chalriman, James D. McKennir, Saint John, and the Man- ager. Rand iisMathcson. Moncton.

The route of Trans-Canada Air Linea to the Maritlmes, said Mr. ilowe, tended from Montreal to Shcrbroolse, thence across the State oi Maine and terminated at Moncton. passing near Saint John and Frederic- ton but without direct. service to either city. The intention was for Mono- fcn to he the distributing point from which auxiliary air services would be conducted to the major Maritime cities.

Thorough Study Planned

"I have arranged that a very thorough study oi the eastern por- tlon oi this route will be made by experts from Trans-Canada Air Lines to determine if any way can be found to service more Maritime cities directly." said the Minister. “Obviously, the service needs passenger traffic, and such traffic will be more readily avail-

RE-UNIUN HERE

her Held At Can- ‘iadian National Ho- tel Last Night.

The first‘ annual gathering‘ oi "sourdoughs" of the Yukon now residing in the Maritime Provinces was held in Charlottetown last night. None from outside of Prince Evlward Island attended. however, although speakers believ- ed last night's meeting would lead to a larger one next year.

Mr. James Pendergast of Ken-

meetfng acted as chairman. Mem- ories oi "those days" when thous- ands from all parts oi the world rushed into the Yukon in search oi gold and fortune were recalled by the five Prince Edward Island "old timers" as. they sat around the banquet table at the C. N. Hotel accompanied by their wivcs‘ or other guests.

Mr. William Gillespie oi Clyde River, P. 22.1., who has spent many years in the Yukon from where he returned to the Island a few weeks ago and who had attended several banquets oi “sourdoughr on the Pacific Coast was one oi the speakers. Hundreds attended an- nual banquets held in Vancouver, Seattle and other points t.o recall experiences during the "gold rush" and the speaker believed a. much larger number from all sectlonsof the Maritimes would attend fut- ure banquets here.

-Mr. Hugh Smith of Northam. P. E.I., brought photographs, which included the first car to arrive in the Yukon familiarly known tothe “sourdougha" as the "Red DOW." taken during his stay in the Yuk- on, to the banquet.

Those who’ attended included: Mr._and Mrs. James Pendergast, Kenslngton, P. E. L: Mr. and Mrs. wiiiiam Higgins. Kenslnswn. PE- L; Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Smith. Northam. P. E.I.; Mr. James Mll- llgan whose father, Edgar Mill- gan, was one oi the "pioneers". and Mrs. Mllllgan, Northam, PE. 1.; Mr. William Gillespie, Clyde River, P. E. I.; and Mr. Gordon Dawson.

BANGOR. Mo. Oct. 12--(AP)— Al Brady's boast he would "make John Dillinger look like a punk" was abruptly silenced by G-msn bullets today.

slngton, P.E.I., who organized the '

able by direct service than rby connecting planes." He had no doubt’ that officials would "recom- mend changes in the route in the interests of traffic where physical conditions will permit."

Work on the airways was well advanced. "The route from Van- couver to Seattle is now in oper- atlon. Operations from Winnipeg to Lethbridge to Edmonton will be commenced within the next few weeks. whether the connecting link between Lethbridge and Van- couver will be operated this win- ter depends on the progress of radio equipment in that. section. There is no doubt that the airline from Vancouver to Montreal will be in fu‘l operation by July of next year, and we expect to have operations extended to Mflnctim before the end of next year. In the meantime auxiliary services will be developed so that all the principal cities of Canada will be served by air transportation in due time."

The Minister devoted much of his address to the railway sit- uation. "The Government has its own plan for solving the railway problem and one that I believe will be effective, given reasonable time. That plan is to operate the Government owned lines efficient- ly and with a minimum . of new expenditure until earnings war- rant, and at the same time to give privately owned railways the greatest possible freedom to do likewise. The plan provides that the government shall do every- thing possible to increase traffic by encouraging foreign trade and by encouraging the development of new industries within the coun- n1.-

llrop ‘Failure Felt

Improvement in trade generally had been offset in part by me "most disastrous crop failure 111 Western Canada in three decades and by sharp increases in cost of railway labor and materials." The normal wheat crop was about 400,000,000 bushel; and this year it amounted to 165000.000. "Every part of Canada will feel the effect oi this disaster in a. slowing down of business, but the iull effect f8
