ST. JOHN'S. Nild. (CF) - A ieteran observer of the coast waters of Newfoundland said rue.-day there was "a very good rhance" of an ice blockade on gyery coast of the province before his winter ends.
Capt. R. J. Randell, district narine agent for the department ,f transport, d unless the AQBIIICT turned freakish the usu- illy ice-free south coast would be it-alsd as solidly as the west coast ind the northeast coast are at JFCSEIII.
ice continued to sprawl across the horizon of! St. John's Tues- iay. it had cleared out of Trinity Iiltl Conception Bays-most south- erly bays of the east coast-but 'ciuscd to budge far from their intrances despite the urging of iii-steriy winds.
The westerlies that eased the pressure on coasts near her! ni-ought the ice hard against the nest coast again after the begin- nings of a respite.
The south coast -where little heavy ice. has been reported so far this winter-should get its share with a wind shift. Capt Ilandell said. "We'll have an east- erly wind and it will block the roast from top to bottom. We've al- ways had easterlies. We'll get one man unless the world has changed."
GOULD MOVE SOUTH
He said ice ran from the Arctic along the northeast coast and around the southeastern corner of the province to the Grand Banks. It spilled through the Straits of Belle Isle and ran through the Gulf of St. Lawrence and out on

He said easterly winds followed by westeriies or southwesteriiea would bring the eastern and west- ern ice fields together south of Newfoundland push them against the coast.
The south coast had been block- aded in WSL-"the same thing can happen this year-the chances are very good." he said.
Capt. Randell said the ice was getting stronger in sub freezing temperatures and showed no signs of breaking up. He figured it would lie off the coast until late in March at least.

The suggestion comes from The People. a leading Sunday newspa- per. It emphasizes that. under the present royal setup. the duke is officially "a man without a real
"Until he ia given one." the newspaper says, "he will alwayl be tempted to seek out for him- self a real Job of work and go off on extended goodwill trips around the Commonwealth."
The duke'a recent four - month separation from his wife while on a tour of empire outposts was cited as one of the reasons for the rumors of a royal family rift.
Tradition provides the duties of the sovereign shall be exercised by only one person. But Elizabeth has a precedent for giving Edin- burgh official status. PRECEDENT FOR MOVE

Prince Consort
Victoria proclaimed Albert prince consort - though it was some years after their marriage and met with considers ' opposition.
The Duke of Edinburgh's pru- ent role is unique. Some doors in- side Buckingham Palace are barred to him at times. He is not allowed to attend the Queen's offl- clal audiences on state business.
Technically, the duke is not sup- posed to read the official dia- patches sent to the Queen by he ministers.
The People ask: that this be changed.
"All documents should be avail- able to him, all audience cham- bers open. He should. In fact, be come the Queen's right hand not only as husband. but as counsel- lor-in-chief in affairs of state.
” . . . Make him prince con- sort in fact as well as in name. Give him a job that lifts him out of the class of patient husbands trailing in the wake of hard- working career wives.
"Rumor will have no foothold when it is seen that the Queen and her husband are united In ioint service to Britain and the Commonwealth."
MUSIC FESTIVAL AND MUSICIANS
Anyone. who has solicited sup- port for a worthy cause. will agree there is nothing so satisfactory as receiving a cheerful and helpful response.
This has always been the exper- ience of the scholarship commit- tee when they solicit public mind- ed citizens. societies and business firms for financial aid in promot- ing appret iation for good music among our young people.
We are now preparing for our 13th annual Festival. and feel we are beginning to see definite re- sults from the effort and hard work, which has been put into this organization.
Again this year the committee has made, some adjustments in the scholarships and awards. There have been new scholarships added the list. and awards have been provided for classes 44 and 45 on the other hand it has been decided by the executiVe to re- move classes 120. I21. 122, 131 of school choruses from compeiiiun and therefore these classes will not be covered by awards. All entries must be sent to the secretary, Mrs. Wendell Wood. Charlottetown. R.R. 6 not later than March lst. 1957.
