iranspori llearings Io Open In Easl grobably In May

OTTAWA, April 25—(CP)-Reg- ional hearings cf the Royal Com- mission on Transpor. are expected to open in the Maritlmes late in May, it was learned today. , At the same time. indications de- joelnped that the all-embracing Fed- eral inquiry into transport probab- |y would take considerably less time than the one-to-twc-year per- iod which up to now the commis- sion had been expected to take.

wmmisslon sources said the lormatlcn-fatherlnfl’ phase oftbe - ‘ulry might wcll be completed be- wré the cnd of this year.

That could bring a report for tabling fairly early at next year's session of Parliarnent—perhaps in time for legislation to implement findings of the Commission. ‘

These findings ‘will include re- commendations on the.impact of freight rates on various sections of the country-perhaps the major as- pect of the commission's job-on the question of chopping down the Canadian National Railways‘ debt- hurdened financial structure, on co- operative savings effected by the C.N.R. and the Canadian Pacific Railway, and several other phases of transportation.

Fire Chief W. B. MscNeill stated last night that due to the distance of the fire from the nearest hydrants that every available foot of boss had to be used. About two thousand feet were in use at the height of the fire and until it: was put out. Fire Chief MacNelll stated that the nearest hydrant in the scene of the ilrs.when coupled with the hose was found to be use- less for thirty minutes as it had been turned off for repairs and not turned on again. During this time one line of hose from s hydrant on the corner of Duke and Beaver Streets was reinforced by the pamper in order to increase the pressure. But at the and of a half hour both lines of hose were in operation and remained so until the fire had been brought under control.

The Prime Minister said he wished to make lt "clear that s. firm decision has been reached to advise I-Ils Excellency to dissolve the present Parliament at the close of thelprsssnt week in order that the people of Canada -- in all'tho Provinces -- may have, st an early and convenient time. an opportunity to elect members to s new parliament.”

Mr. St. Laurent recalled that the life of the present Parliament does not expire until next year -— August‘, 1M0 — but he said thsro were many reasons for an sleet-

' ion to be hold as soon as possible.

“In the first place, there has been a change in the leadership of the government since the gener- al election of 1046 and it has always ‘been my view that‘ the people should have the earliest practicable opportunity to pronounce upon that change," sbld Mr. St. Laurent who took over the prime mlnisterahlp last November from Rt. Jlon. W. L. Mackenzie King.

Mr. King was in his seat and joined in the loud applause that broltis out from Liberal benches as Mr. St. tun-ant rose to msks his historic announcement. Rumor that the annbuncement was coming spread through the Liberal lobby for about an hour before Mr. It. Laurent took the floor.

Playing to a capacity crowd in Prince of Wales "Auditorium, the Y's Men's Varieties staged by the local Y’s Men's Club provided s smash hit last night as the per- formance opened s two-night stand

that will conclude with another like performance tonight. The entertainment was varied

and loept the audience in a high stat, of snsrrlment throughout the tm hours and s. half perform- ance. The climax came in the last scene when the ,Club me ‘ s staged a fashion show depicting tho “old look," the "new look" and "the last lock." '

Commentator Ralph Rupert in- troduced the various models amid gsles of lsulhfcr as the particip- ants cams on the stage in cos- tumes defying description; in fact at one time law a law office;- made s. sudden appearance to chase a model off the stage and draw the curtain. but the show went on at what wasjescrlbed as s. more dig- nified tempo. .

Another comedy feature that. went over big was the staging of an old-fashioned melodrama with Misses Helen Iswson, Mary De. Blcls and Messrs. Jock Lawson and Ralph McLean giving realistic portrayals in the one act play that saw McLean assume the hero's role when he rescued the Widow M8885. played I by Miss Lawson and her daughter Mary Meggl from the clutches of the villain of the piece, played by Jock Lalwson.

Mr. Lawson in a further appear- ance strain drew down the house with his interpretation of the bal- lad “The Wreck of the Julie Plants."

Plano quartettes, vocal solos and qusrtettes, renditions by the Y’s Men's Chorus and violin and sax- ophone selections made up the remainder of the well balanced program with the performers rc- sponding to well deserved encores.

Messrs Rrcsby. Johnson, Cud- more and Malclean were heard in three delightful psino quartettes ranging from the 115g of eight hands on one pano to eight hands on tlwo pianos.

Violin selections by Alfred Mc- Kearney were rendered in the usual deft manner by this well- known artist as well as the saxo- phone solos by Jack MSCAndIGW. a native of Saint John. NB, but now stationed in this City.

Miss Phyllis Lubes made s spleh- did impression with her rendition cf two ccntraltc solos while the Brighton Girls’ quartette, com- pcscd of Misses Donalda Mac- Lecd, Hilda Plckard, Barbara Ru- pert and Marilyn Rupert were treated to thunderous applause on every appearance. 4 The Y's Men Chorus, directed by Mr. Frank Johnston with Mr. 01C.

Ari lIenire Plans Popularity Conlesl

Prizes will be awarded for articles currently being displayed in the Prince Edward Island Arts and Units Guild handlcratt exhibition on the basis of their popularity.

Miss Frances Johnston, director of the Guild's activities, has an- nounced a novel competition in which both craftsmen and judges have a chance to win a prize. That's right. . The judges are eligible for prizes, because the judges will be all the persona who ace the exhibition. Everyone who attends will be provided with a. bal- lot. and asked to vote for the article which they like best of all those being showln. The maker of the most popular article wiiLre- ceive a cash award of 85-00 and fl 's psld up membership in the Guild (value $2.00). Names of the person; who voted for the most popular article will be shuffled and the first five drawn will each re- ceive a year’; paid up membership In the Guild.

Miss Johnston explains that the reason she has chosen to have this particular type of contesi._ is b!- cause the quality of the workman- ship displayed in the articles sub- mitted is so high and tho number of entries in each cattgfify l0 19V that it really didn't lend itself to competition for prises awarded ln the customary way. according to
