Highway Act In Committee

Further progress was made in dealing with the consolidated Highway Traffic Act at the Leg- islative yesterday. The bill con- tains 133 sections. and it is ex- pected to come before the House several times next week before being finally agreed to.

Only one clause gave rise to discussion yesterday. it was one dealing with the necessity of a motorist reporting repair to his vehicle after he had been warned by the R.C.M.P. that the machine was in an unsafe or defective condition. .

He felt that a time limit for reporting should be allowed the owner of the vehicle. He said he knew of Mounties who would not give a person more than a day to get the trouble repaired.

Premier Matheson said that there perhaps were cases. espec- ially among tbe younger officers. when the police were overni- ficioue. He pointed out. however. that the Province has an ex- cellent inspector and be had noted

FENAROLI REPORT

.In the official report received from Dr. Fenaroli the following observation was made. "The field at all times was in excellent vegetative development and excellent health condition except for a general phenomenon of curling up of the leaves which was noted in more than one check visit that hit all varieties with the exception of the Sebago. In the absence of any virus man- festations it is felt that this phenomenon is due to disturban- ces of a physiological nature. In spite of this manifestation the whole field produced excellently both for quantity and quality."

Dr. Fenaroli goes on to state: "From a temporary point of view. since one year's experiment is insufficient to determine a new direction in the choice of varie- ties. from the Pontiac to the Ken- nebec. appear to be worthy of the best consideration for the mountain region of Cuneo. with a preference on equal terms. for those of early maturation and gifted with a better resistance to diseases tl(ennebec).

It will be noted that of the 12 imported varieties planted in this experiment the samples from Prince Edward Island placed: First. Second. Third. Fourth and Ninth. of further significance is the fact that the Sebago gave the highest Starch content of all. with 15.296. The Sebago also had the highest percentage of No. 1 marketable tubers ranging from 3 ounces up. In this respect there were 6496 of tubers weigh- ing from 8 1-3 ounces up to it 2-3 ounces. and 1096 weighing over 6 2-: ounces. In other words 391 of the total yield could be class- ed as grading Canada No. 1. VERY MUCH IMPRESSED

policy adopted by the Seed Cer- tification Service back in 1918. when three samples of Green Mountains were entered in the Long Island Seed Source Test. and which resulted in introducing our Seed to United States Grow- ers. Since that' time introductory samples. large and small. have been forwarded not only to many of the States but to other fore- ign countries with excelient re- sults.

”The export trade in certified seed is an all important phase of our Island potato production. and for this purpose funds should be made available to carry on such promotional work and ad- vertising. in order to seek new outlets and expand our potato trade. Meanwhile growers and dealers should keep in mind the fact that diseases of all kinds must be kept at the absolute min- imum. Our reputation for pro- ducing a high class product must under no consideration be im- paired."

The Visual at S. II. II.

Last. evening in the college gym- naslum there was presented by the St. Dunstan's Dramatic So- ciety the Shakespearean tragedy "Romeo and Juliet." Under, the capable direction of Rev. Adrian A. enault and supported by a cast of 22, the play was present- ed -in an admirable manner.

From the very outset of prac- tice for the play. the cast and the director bent to work with a will, for they knew that only good, honest. hard work could produce the desired effect. All Shakespearean plays are difficult to stage and this one is no ex- ception. Says the director: "It could be that we should have chosen a less difficult play from Shakespeare's iderabie list of masterpieces. But on reading over again a few which had been suggested to me by English pro- fessors, 1 came to the conclusion that none of them were really easy to stage. atid all of them were difficult as to language.
