"Whereas the 1938 agreement provided for a token tariff of 37 inc per cwt. on United States potatoes entering Canada for a six week period (June 15th to July slst) with free entry for the re- maining t6 weeks. and

"Whereas the same agreement provided for the entry of 1.000.- 000 bus. of table potatoes and'1.- 500.000 bus. of certified seed pota- toes at a special rate of Mine per cwt. with all additional shipments subject to 75c per cwt.. and

"Whereas the present Canadian Potato tariff provides little or no protection whatever to the produc- ers of late varieties of potatoes or main crop potatoes and constitutes only a pitifully small measure of protection to the producers of early varieties.

"Resolved that the Canadian Horticultural Council advise the Canadian Government that the Canadian potato growers can no longer tolerate this unfair and inequitable treatment. and fur- ther request the Government -to take steps immediately to correct the unfortunate concessions made in the 1035 and 1936 Trade Agree- ments by providing for a reason- able rate of protection for all Canadian potato producers for both seed and table potatoes.”

Senators

age for senators is not new. The idea was proposed several years ago. during I debate on Senate refonn. No action resulted but

suggestions for Senate changes still

crop up from time to time. One is that members of poll- tlcal parties other than the tra- ditional Liberal and Conservative grou s also should be appointed to t Senate. Another is that churches. labor groups and var- ious profssslons should have re- presentation. Still another would have provincial gun-tnments name some senators. QUESTIONS RAISED Informants say fixing a retire-

ment age for senators raised questions like these: I. Would retirement affect

present senators or only those likely to be appointed in the future?

2. Would pensions for present senators equal their full 88.000 annual indemnity. which they would receive if not retired along with a 82.000 expense allowance. or only a percentage of it?

Justices of the Supreme Court and provincial Supreme Courts now retire on two-thirds pen- slons.

3. Would senators be required to serve a ' S of years before retirement, thus re- sulting in a possible age limit beyond which senators could not be appointed?

There is likely to be some op- position from within Senate ranks to a retirement plan.

(IrBritlsh Columbia). 76. still practices law. said retire ment is "damn foolishness."

Rehabilitat

By GERRY MARTIN Canadian Press Staff Writer AMHERST. N.S. (CPi-Out on the" marshes bordering the Bay of Fundy the federal government. working with the Nova Scotla and New Brunswick governments. is waging a never-ending multl-mil-

lion dollar battle with the sea. Already the 10-year program. started in 1918, has cost 36,000,000 of a proposed S0,000.000 to save rich soil that has a potential 35,- 000.000 yearly output.

Here where the tides are the highest in the world and the winds whip across the marshes at fan- tastlc speeds the Maritime Marb- land Rehabilitation Administration has already built more than 102 miles of dikes. These dikes pro- tect more than 55,500 acres of farmland.

YEAR-ROUND JOB

Maintenance of the dikes is a year-round job as the force with which waves smash into the six- inch-thick planks easily splinters them. Power and communications companies have come to respect the strong winds and along the marshes poles are spaced 60 feet apart while the average distance is ID) feet.

The struggle has been going on for centuries and traces of dikes, aboiteaux and breskwaters built by early Fnench settlers 300 years ago are still visible.

One half of the problem faced by the administration is draining water off the land. For this pur- pose abolteaux are built into the dikes. The nboiteau. varying in length from 20 to more than ioo feet. resembles a four - sided wooden box with one end open and a four-inch-thick iron gate at the other. This gate swings open to allow the water to drain off the land at ebb tide but closes again with the rising tide.

In 1943 the federal government. the Nova Scotla government and marsh farmers agreed to share the cost of emergency repairs to dikes which had been allowed to distin- tegrate by discouraged farmers. New Brunswick joined with them in 1945.

ENDED IN Ill!

The program ceased to function in 1950, two years before the Maritime Marshland Rehabilita- tion Admlnistration was estab- lished and entered into ng. ment with the two provinces.

At present the administration has five big projects either under construction or being planned.

The biggest is the 82.000.000 Shepody river project in Albert county. N.B. The construction of the Shepody dam is expected to be completed in the fall. The dam will present the tide from enter- ing the river valley and eliminate the .. "v of r ructing miles of dike. bank protection structure and sbolteaux that badly need repairs.
