To Establish - Traffic Control By Motorcycle

Efforts at controlling traffic will . take a new turn here shortly as a result of a City Council decis- ion to call for tenders for the purchase of a motorcycle for Fo- llce use. Chief Charles MacArthur told the Council that he had two men on the Force capable of driving the machine.

The Council also announced that

The meeting yesterday was held at 9:30 in the morning as Mayor I. D. Stewart said that a dinner in the evening to the vis- iting Ministers of Agriculture and theiopenlng of Old Home Week precluded the holding of either afternoon or night meetings.

Councillor F. J. Storey, chair- man of the Streets Committee. said that ll men had been laid off from the street sweeping crew. The reason for the action, 3 he said, was that the new auto- matic sweeper would be in action within a week or 10 days.

More Recruits loin Air Force

OTTAWA, Aug. 11 - (CP)' - 'I'he R.C.A.F. reported today that air crew recruiting has pulled out of its tailspin. But the army now has worries. It lost strength in July for the first time in months, officials said.

In June and July. enough would- be pilots and navigators offered themselves to let the R.C.A.F. breathe easy for the first time this year. Figures for July won't be made public for several weeks.

The army in July is reported to have lost at least 200 more men through discharges and deaths than it took in through the re- cruiting offices. This would drop its strength down to around 49,- 000 and probably will increase pressure for enlisting women on a full-time basis.

Further improvement In llandicraii Exlliliits Shawn

A marked improvement in qual- ity was noticeable again this year in the Women's Institute Handl- craft Exhibltion which opened last night at the Exhibition grounds in conjunction with the Provincial Exhibition.

Articles lire shown to better ad- vantage this year, since the Wom- en's Institute building has been enlarged and greatly improved. and the extra space was also appreci- ated by the judges who were at work all day yesterday. There are about the same number of exhibits as last year-although the nulnbcr of exhibits is less in some classes. there is a corresponding increase in others.

Miss Mary Robin. Supervisor of the Women's Institutes. comment- ed upon the high quality of the work exhibited this year, and ill number of judges also commented upon the improvement.

Mrs. Allison McLean, summer- side, and Mrs. G. B. whitesidc judged the sewing and needlework, Mrs. William Reddln and Miss Frances Johnston the crochetiniz and knitting. and Mrs. llaroid

Judging will get underway today in the cooking, canning and flow- er classes.

Among the attractions in the building today will be a demon- stration by Mrs. Noy J. Manse or Kenaington, one of the island's best known potters. who will dem-

onstrate and explain her work. Among the other exhibits in the building are intt-restinir displays

Stresses Unity In Dealing With Farmingltroblems

"While we in the West cannot market all our products in Can- ada, we are realizing more fully the fundamental truth that Can- ada is a unit and that the domes- tic market is of vital importance," declared Hon. F. C. Bell. Minis- ter of Agriculture for Manitoba, in speaking at a Government dinner

here last: evening.

Held at the Charlottetown Ho- tel in honour of the visiting Agri- culture Ministers and Deputies, there was a large attendance of both sexes. Mr. Bell's speech was preceded by brief addresses of Wei- come from I-lis Honour Lieutenant Governor T. W. L. Prowse. Premier J. Walter Jones, and His Worship lvfayor Stewart. Hon. C. C. Baker. Minister of Agriculture for Priilcc Edward Island, presided.

After expressing ills warm ap- prcciation of the hospitality shown the party both in New Brunswick and this Province, Mr. Bell said the conference had given the visi- tors ”quite an insight into what you are endcavorlng to do ill this Island."

Meeting now in their fourth an- nual gathcrlng. he said the group has become ”quite a family unit." 'I at least have broadened my sights and becoillc one of the. party which believes that Canada comes bcforp Provrilccs -- that the welfare of the people as it Wll0lf' is paramount." he added. "We realize that whatever affects you also affects us."

stressing the food problems in other parts of the world, Mr. Bell said these problems presented a 'great cllailotlge to Canadian agri- culturr-. ”At our conference. one of the main subjects of discussion has been how we shall rnnscrve the soilinovdcr thatit might pro- duce lts maximum. The funda- mental problems discussed are common to us all, from one coast to the other. We are endeavoring to give some leadership in agri- culture. along lilies which will be of value to all parts of the coun- mm.

The speaker briefly reviewed the development of tho 'Prairio Pro- vinces and clted some interesting excerpts in this connection.

Warmly Welcomed

"We are proud that you have

chosen Canada's smallest Province in which t.n hold your 1952 meet- ing." Lieutenant Governor Prowse assured the visitors. "Particular- ly so when we feel that our Pro- vince is at its loveliest." He hop- ed the visitors would see some- thing, not only of "the bounty of olir red soil and the superior quality of oilr cattle." but of the Island's unspoiled scenic beauty as well. Premier Jones referred to the island as being "landscaped by nature." The main thing. how- ever, he said. "is the problem of keeping our farmers and fishermen at home, busily employed as they used to be. so that their families can be reared in the imosphere that we used to be reared in gen- erations ago."
