Ice Patrol Flights Made

Ice patrol flights by Capt. C. E. Show, Department of Transport observer have been carried out over the Gulf of St. Lawrence and ad- lolning areas during the past two days.

'niuday the Northwest portion of the Gulf was surveyed. -There was a lot of newly formed ice in the area. with signs of heavy ice Wilt of the Magdalen Islands, gx. tending '1 to 9 miles off shore. Fishermen were observed after seals off the Msgdslens. They were op- erating from shore. rather than from ships. No seats were observed elsewhere during the two-day flights.

Yutcrdly the area. covered in- cluded from the north side of P. E. I. to the Magdalena where new- Iy formed ice was observed. from Bird Hock over the steamer track to Cape Bay. Nfld., which showed clear water. from Cape North, Cape Breton. to off Louisburg where there was loose ice, extend- ing from five miles off Cape North to 30 miles off Loulsburg; George Bay. which was covered 100 per cent; Northumberland Straits from Cape George to Cape Bear and across to Pictou Island, which showed newly formed slob ice.

Dairy Problems

(Continued from Page 1)

from which good results were ob- tained. In addition the Provincial Department built two snow fence silos in which the ion was sbout eight or nine per cent,

Mr. Shaw stated that four things were necesary for good silage They include cutting the grass at the right time, sotlid packing. cov- ering to keep out the rain and drainage.

Mr. Hollie Msobonsld, in his re- marks, congratulated Mr. Parent for his experiments showing the vslue of hay. Mr. MacDonald also suggested that he would like to see the Firm determine how little wilt hay can stand and how green it can be put up and still saved.

Ask Protection

The Dairymen last. night passed a resolution asking the Govern- ment to enact legislation to protect the dairy industry. They noted that numerous vegesble oil substitutes were being made to take the place of dairy products and their motion asked that the Government pro- hibit the sale of such products in this province.

During the afternoon session Mr. W. R, Show pointed out that there were dairy substitutes other than margarine that were is deadly mon- aoe to the dairy industry. In fact he suggested that margarine may have helped the dairy industry this past year.

He pointed out that there was nearly A shortage of butter in the Dominion this winter and had it not been for the margarine Canada would have had to import butter from New Zealand. "I'hls butter can be obtained for 35 cents a. pound and such competition might have left us in a tight spot," he added.

Mr. Shaw also noted that the price of butter in Nova Scotin. and New Brunswick where margarine is being offered for sale is two cents higher than it is in this Province.

The Deputy Minister of Agri- culture ssid that he thought the long-term future of butter is good but that there was s definite neces- sity of opening up markets other than the United States. He ment- ioned the development of the United Kingdom as s. market.

He pointed out that the dairy industry is in s. transition stage at the present time and he expressed doubt about the value of the United states as an export market. He also said that the present situ- ation in regard to powdered milk

that there would be a market for powdered milk in the future.

In this regard the meeting pus- sd a resolution urging the Associ- ation to advertise the powdered milk product as soon as possible especially in Labrador. Newfound- land and the Maritimes.

Another resolution urged the more generous use of aluminum file wrappers in packaging butter so that the product would appear more attractive to the consumer.

Ask New Butter Price

The meeting went on record as seeking a two-year floor price for butter st 8! cents a pound. It was pointed out by Mr. Profitt that this resolution was being presented to the Dominion Cabinet by the Dom- inlon Dalrymen's Association so the meeting agreed to back the parent body. The floor-price for the past. two years has been 58 cents.

The principle of establishlng' a standard color for butter was recommended as was stricter en- forcement of the law dealing with stray bulls.

The fluid milk men brought in two resolutions. one recommended that producers be preferred as creditors next to the employees in the event that a dairy plant went bankrupt.

In this comiectioii Mir. R.R. Bell stated that the Bankruptcy Act was it Federal matter and that it would be a tough proposition to have the Act revised so that the producers might be is preferred creditor.

The other resolution asked pas- teuriud plants to settle with their patrons not later than the fifth day of the month for the milk supplied during theprevious month.

The financial statement showed that the Association was in good standing with a surplus of slightly over stone.

The meeting got underway with the report of the president Mr. Allison Profltt. During the after- noon the meeting also heard an usellent report from the Dairy Superintendent Mr. H. J. MacDon- aid.

The evening session commenced with s film "The Power of Pen- nies." The secretsry Mr. J. Lin- coin Dewar presented sn sblo re- port, after which 10'. W.R. Shaw presented prises to the Isianduiop

The City would have available to it as revenue any lsnding fees which it might col- lect under the scale approved by the Department and any revenue from buildings turned ova" to it by the Department. It would be zhc responsibility of the City to set the rental rates for such build- . ings.

In addition. certain Departmental maintenance equipment would also be made available to the City at a nominal rental. "So far as I can see." the letter added.

City Council Discusses "Fringe Areas"

After discussing at some length various matters dealing with the recent report of Judge C. st. 0. Tralnor on conditions in the so- cslled "fringe areas" of the city at the meeting of the City Council last. night. it was agreed without formal resolution that the Council as a whole should meet with a committee from the areas under review and approach the Provin- cial Government at an early date to discuss the whole matter.

Councillor Storey submitted an exhaustive study of the existing methods of raising revenue, point- ing out a number of inequalities in the amessment set-up. Tech- nical objections were explained by Recorder Martin which prevented any overall changes being made at this time, and the Acting Mayor, heartily commended Coun. Storey for his submission, supported by Councillors in the assurance that the whole subject would be follow- ed through at subsequent meet- ings. Resolutions were passed calling for an amendment to the Incorpo- ration Act increasing the mini- mum assessed value on motor vehicles to eight hundred dollars; for the purchase of two signs to be placed at the entrance of the city. one on Malpeque Road and the other at the eastern extremity of Grafton Street; and the placing of a. 250 C.P. light on Kent Street in front of the Central Christian Church, and another at the cor- nor of Douglas Street and Spring Park Road.
