Gives Report On Ice Patrol

Three ships have sailed through -the steamer track to the St. Lew- rence River and another was sell- mg through yesterday morning, re- ported Chief officer Angus Brown last night following another ice survey for the Department of Transport.

'1‘he.fourth ship. an Italian ves- sel tiie Capo Anne, was having trouble getting through the loo. chief officer Brown expressed eur- pcrise that the other three got through as the North East winds during the storm brought a lot of heavy ice through the Strait of Belle Isle into this area.

The ice extends well out to sea reaching to within 30 miles of Cable island. The strait of Canon is still blocked solid and heavy ice lies off the entrance of Louisburg Harbour. A southerly wind might close Louisburg up.

Fog conditions made it a poor day for patrolling. Conditions were had over the Northumberlend Strait but he believed that there was little or no change from the prcvious 24 hours.

on the flight he noticed four rishing trawlers lying off canso. By their lack of action he believed mg were undecided about whe- ther or not they should. move out.

Outstanding Recital Given At P.VI.G. flail

Lest evening at the Prince of

Wales College auditorium, ' an audience of some two hundred .people were privileged to hear an outstanding recital by Susanna Brenton. L. Mus.. pianist. and Gwynnoth Patterson. meuo-so- prano. both pupils of Miss Lillian McKenzie. Mus. Bac., who also acted as accompanist. . In a well chosen program which hated for almost two hours, the artists each showed their indi- vidusl mastery of music. and suc- ceeded in holding the audience en- thralled without an intermission.

Although Miss Brenton appear- ed a little nervous at first. she quickly overcame it and lost her- self in her interpretation of some of the most difficult piano solos heard in the city for some time. The most ambitious of these was Beethoven's Sonata in E‘. Minor, and Miss Brenton played the three movements without a pause. in it- self this would be an accomplis‘- meat, as the number lasts for ap- proximately twenty-five minutes. Min Brenton, however, gave the selection a beauty of feeling even throughout the more intricate passages which held the audience through to the end.

One other selection by Miss Brenton which was outstanding was her Chopin's “Fantasia Im- promptu." seeming to love the music herself, she brought out the true beauty of this composition and gave it a rippling quality which is Chopin at his best.

Displaying a voice of unusual beauty and range, Mrs. Patterson combined this talent with an ex- traordinary stage personality which charmed the audience completely. i-ler voice, though pleasingly res- onant in the lower register, has not the unpleasant heavineu sometimes found in mezzo-so- pranos. it was especially lovely when heard in the soft high notes which Mrs. Patterson accomplished with ease. Enjoying her singing to the utmost. she proved to be at her best in the Aria “Mon coeur s'ouv're a te voix", from Saint- Seens' “Samson et Delilah". This number allowed her to show her capacity for feeling and inter- pretation. and proved that a talent for acting helps considerably in a singer's career.

It is hoped that these artists will appear before the public again and again. and Miss McKenzie is to be ...... ended on arranging for the music lovers oi the Province to hear talent such as these artists possess.

Programme for the evening was as follows:

The Harmonious Blacksmith

(Handel); Sonata in F. Minor. Opus 57 (Bcethoven)—Mios Brenton. _ The Blacksmith (Brahms); May- Nigh-t (Brahms); Arie, Mon coeur s'ouvre a is voix (Saint-Sachs)- Mrs. Patterson.

The two units on the trial kip yesterday handled 30 percent more tonnage than could be handiedbry two of the steam locomotives used on the Island division.

"All of these tests have proved

Canadian ltoection

0T'1'AWlA'.. April 13 -—(0P) — Canadian trade officials expressed pleasure tonight over United States mogrose with plans to make fur- 311;! reductions in American tar-

But they questioned whether all items set forth in a 78-page list -made public in Washington tonight would be negotiated by the U. S. at the forthcoming tariff-cutting conference at Toi-quay, England-.

Publication of the American list is made .ln line with U. S. statutory regulations for the pur- pose of obtaining the views of U. S. business men, the officials ex- plained.

pore notes with Island breeders and view their herds. “The lead- ing breeders oi horses. cattle and swine here have a very high repu- tation in Central Canada," stated Mr. Bracken. “so we wanted to see these animals for ourselves."

Mr. Bracken is now retired and lives on one of his farms near Ot- tawa. He owns several farms in Manitoba and Saskatchewan and George conducts their operations.

They were enthusiastic in their praise of the farmers and agri- cultural officials of the Province in achieving such a reputation for Island products throughout Can- ada and in parts of the United States.

Mr. Bracken has visited here on several occasions as Conservative leader. This time. however. he was surprised to run into another "tail-end of winter." He was somewhat disappointed as the muddy conditions will prevent them from moving around as free- ly as they would wish.

He expressed his belief that the Island has a bright future as an agricultural Province, and that the way to further success lies in concentrating on the maintenance of the highest standards of live- stock and field production.
