prospected the Mwadul Mine in Tanganyika in 1940. Some experts say it is the world's biggest hoard of gems. Williamson has turned down many offers for the

lne.

In 1047 he signed a contract to sell his diamonds to the great De Beers Diamond Corporation. virtually a world monopoly, con- trolled by South Afrlcan million- sire Sir Ernest Oppenheimer.

In June i950 Williamson com- plalned that the corporation was paying too little. and he cut off the flow of diamonds.

Legal experts wrangled with- out success. Then, in December 1951, the Williamson-Cppenhelmer agreement expired at the end of its five-year term.

Nothing more happened until Williamson iodny sent an invita- tion to London diamond dealers to inspect and bid for 12.004 car- ats worth of diamonds. A few dealers who responded estimated they were worth only about 8440,- me, a more trifle in the WOI'Id'l annual diamond trading.

What surprised the dealers was that Williamson did not specify a closing date for his offer. Nor did he say, as is usual. that the gems would be sold to the highest bid-

tier. City circles surmised that the millionaire was "testing the mar-

to private buyers or else to strengthen his bargaining power with the diamond syndicate.

Weeklvetage Market Report

Egg production figures are high storage figures mounting. early chick sales tire up 10 per cent. The outlook is not too encouraging These facts about the poultry in- dustry are given as the result at numerous ,requesLs received at this office for same. More outlets for Canadian poultry products must be found if the industry is to be carried at present levels.

Some people in the industry be- lieve if the present rate of pro- duction continues, it is possible that at the end of the storage sea- son under the support plan, we might see as many as 500,000 cases of unsold eggs. These eggs would be offering for sale at the same season when early pullets come into lay. The volume of eggs mar- keted througl-. registered egg stat- ions this year represents an, in- crease of 20 per cent over the same period a year ago.

It is reported that there is six- teen million more pounds of poultry in storage as compared with the same period in 1951. This supplemented with a weekly pro- duction of 400.000 lbs. of fresh poultry sold at bargiiln prices does not help the situation.

Exports of eggs up to last week have totalled less than one-half of last year's.

The above are the facts relating presently to the industry. You now have the facts, study them and arrive at your own conclusion, re- membering that this market can be stimulated or changed in a short time it increased outlets domestically or export were to be found.

The production of eggs in P. E. l'. are running slightly higher than for the same period last year. Quality is lower. There is a strong demand presently throughout the Atlantic Provinces for a quality product. .

THE GUARDIAN. CHARLO'I'I'ETOWN

Mr. Darby Participates In Panel Discussion

On Teacher.

Prince of Wales College is a combination of teacher training in- stitution. high school and iunior college, and at no time has the idea ever been contemplated of turning It into a University. stated Dr. Frank Macliinnon, principal of the College. during the course of a panel ulscusslon in the Vocational school last eve ing.

The discussi n took place before I large audience in the agricultural room of the school. Held under the auspices ofiwest Kent Home and school Association. it was attend- eri also by Queen square and Prince Street Association members. as well as by teachers and the gen- eral pubiic. Mr. F'.A. Large. Q.C.. presided as chairman of the pro- gramme committee.

speakers on the panel, of which Mr. Frank W. Curtis was chair- man, comprised Dr. C.E. Phillips, Ontario College of Education, Dr. Lloyd Shaw, Deputy Minister. Mr. Clarence Mercer. supervisor of the Summcrside High School, and Mrs. W.ll:. Scantlebury, parent and for- mer teacher. In addition. Hon. W.E. Darby. Attorney General and Pro- vincial Treasurer. attended and ac- cepted a cordial invitation to ad- dress the meeting.

Corrects Misopprehenslon

Hon. Mr. Darby suggested smil-

ingly that he was "here Ilnder false pretenses" and said from some re- marks he had made in the Legis- lature the impression may have been given that he considered teach- er training unnecessary. He wished to correct this misapprehension, as he had made no such statement. He calculated the number or schools closed in the Province at twenty-seven, those with second class and permit teachers making a total of 112 schools, which with an average of forty pupils to a school gives 4,000 pupils tskins either correspondence courses. or inferior training. He urged not to cut down on teacher training but to spread the subject over the var- ious years at Prince of Wales Col- lege. "It is all very well to talk about B.A.'.s and M.A.'s. but they will not go to the small communi use remote from the centres." Mr. Darby maintained. He felt that taking two years compulsory train- ing means limi the numbe of teachers. l-lis suggestion was to have one year of training after grade for a permit teacher. with the permits lspsing after two or three years unless further training is taken) He was not worried over Charlottetown..Bu merslde or the larger centres as hey can always secure teachers. but he was con- cerned about the supply of gi.00U teachers for the country where properly qualified ones are not sv- ailable.

Dr. L. W. Show in , "M on Mr. Darby's statement, pointed out that only four schools are closed because of lack of teachers. Seven are wholly without pupils, and 13 schools have less than the statutory requirement of seven pupils each. He did not want the impression to go out that 24 or 31 schools are vacant.

Dr. Phillips said that Mr. Darby must have had iiots of fun in the Legislature." He emphasised that good training makes for a higher percentage of good teachers. ,In Ontario where the high lchool macho are required to have a BA. and one additional year of teacher training they have more applicants than they can take, but they are still short of elementary school teachers whose standards are somewhat lower. They had tried everything in an attempt to secure such teachers. They have reduced their standards to Grade 10 entrance and turned out so many third class teachers that they undercut the city teachers on their salary scales. He warned P. E. I. that any out in standards would have a lasting effect on the teaching profession and commun-

ity.

Mr. Darby had maintained that teachers received some training all through their ten years of common schools. This Dr. Phillips termed an "ingenious argument" and emphasized that the quality of the teacher in the elementary school was the first consideration.

Welcomes Different View Points

Dr. Frank MacKinnon said he was glad to hear an expression of two viewpoints on the teacher training question -- that of the practical person contrasted with the academic educate. The pre- paration of a good teacher iii-
