IS IMPROVING - The Condit-

TAKEN T0 HOSPITAL - Two girls and a young man were rush- ed to hospital at 3:30 a.m. Sunday suffering from minor bruises and shock following is collision involv- ing the 1950 Pontiac in which they were driving and a truck of the Bill Lynch Shows. The accident oc- curred at the corner of Cumber- land and Grafton Streets. The dam age to the Pontiac was consider- able and to the truck only slight. The injured were all released from hospital yesterday after under- going examination.

IN ACCIDENT - Word has been received from Deep Brook, N.. S. that Rev. Frank Smith, a form- er supply minister of the Charl- ottetown United Baptist Church, and Mrs. Smith, when returning to their home from Digby during the last week in July. had a serious car accident, in which Mrs. Smith had an arm broken and received severe bruises on her forehead. She is at present in hospital at Dlghy, N. S. attended by two spec- ial nurses. Mr. Smith is slowly re- covering from shock. The accid- ent ls said to have been caused when the Smith car struck a ct: ahead that suddenly stopped with- out apparently giving a warning signal. Their many friends in Char lottetown deeply regret their accid cut and trust they may have a speedy recovery.

POPULARITY FORMIDABLE

Stevenson framed that issue in the spotlight for millions of tela t'lSlOII viewers to see when he tossed the selection of his vice- presiilcntiai running mate into the hands of the convention delegates. Stevenson spoke of the possibi- ily that a "higher will" might prevcnt a president from serving nut lllS full term. He recalled that scx'('ri of 34 prcsidcnts came into the highest office that way. in clfecl. the Democratic presi- dential nomincc was saying: Pres- iilcnt Elscnhuwcr may not live out his tcrm. if he doesn't the voters uiay be cl.-cling Richard M. Nixon to ihc officc. Thai is only one facet of the Dcmoi-r;iis' campaign to counter- act what they admit is the con- (Inning pi-r-onal popularity of a presidcni ulm swept 39 states and 442 of tho 7.31 clectoral votes in 1952.

BIG GAINS NEEDED

The Democratic attack is oblique. It dcals with Eisenhow- cr's reputed ilclcgatlon of powers to subordlnalcs. It encourages jokes about the time he spends golfing. It suggests the president is a fine man who doesn't really know what is going on. Democratic strategists know, however, they cannot depend sui- flciently on destroying Eisenhow- cr's personal popularity. They

must make some substantial gains in strength in critical fields.

The leaders agree generally the party must:

Hold the segregatlonlst South together while it brings back into the fold Negroes and other minor- lty groups which may have the balance of power in pivotal Nor- thern states.

Convince midwestem farmers they have been lll-trcated by the Eisenhm... administration. that hotter farm prices lie ahead.if a Dcmocrat is sent to the White House.

Play the public power issue to the hilt where the issue may be the determining factor. particu- larly In the northwestern states. FADING ISSUE

The convention's selection of Senator Estes Kefauver of Ten- nessee as Stevenson's running mate laid new emphasis on what the Democrats fear may he the fading issue of a midwestern farm revolt.

The choice between a direct ap- peal to the big city minorities and the farmers was a hair-breadth one. as shown by the close race they ran in the ballotting for time.

Senator John Kennedy of Mass- achusetts. an Irish Roman Catho- he who might have helped swing the balance of power in the big citics, lost out to the man from Tennessee who is credited with talking the farmers' language.

"The August lat American Po- tato Production estimates, re- leased on August 10th, indicate an increase of 3,000,000 cwt. for the 1956 United States crop." reports Mr. Elric Campbell, Manager of The P. E. 1. Potato Marketing Board. The following is a break- down:

Early Areas 2.000.000 cwt. down; 8 Eastern Late States 4,000,000 cwt. down; 9 Central Late Slates 4000.000 cwt. up; 9 western Late States 5.000.000 cwt. up. Estimated net increase 3.000.000 cwt.

This year the United States Department of Agriculture is us- ing hundredwelghts as its basis for estimates. etc., in place of bushels which has been the unit used heretofore. The above figures are derived from a comparison with last year's final production report which was 12,00,000 cwt. less than the 1955 August esti- mate.

No estimate has yet been pre- pared on Canadian procuction but the Dominion Bureau of Statis- tics estimates of acreage show plantings down two per cent. With a late cold spring in all parts of Eastern Canada, Canadian pro-

duction this year will like be con- siderably uelow last year, and if so we could be facing the same old problem of duty free United States potatoes available to our markets.

"In short." reports Mr. Camp- bell". the outlook at the moment is much the same as at this time last year. On the other hand. planting was late In all eastern areas so it is possible that this estimators have been over-optlm- lstlc in estimating the rate of yield. In any case. if the above figures are anywhere near cor- rect. it would appear that USA. is going to have too many po- tatoes.

"It would sccm like that the 2 1-4 inch minimum size in ef- fect in Maine last year will be retained. and it has been predict.- cd in some quarters that. with an election in the offing in U.S.A.. some type of diversion program will be worked out before fall unless these estimates are drast- ically changed in the meantime. Most potato people fcel it is too early to make any prediction as to the price outlook for this fall, or later."

Damage To Lines Slight In Collision

QUEBEC. (CPI - Two trans-

atlantic passenger liners returned to their regular runs Sunday night after a light collision Satur- day in Quebec harbor. As she was being towed to her berth through early morning fog Saturday. the 26.000 - ton Home Lines vessel Homeric sideswlped a Greek Line ship, the 16.000-ton Columbia. Both liners were slightly damaged.

The Homeric was arriving from Europe with 1,191 passengers when her how struck the Colum- bla's starboard side. Apparently the Homeric was being swung in- to position slowly by two tugs. As the collision occurred her stern was being pulled in towards the pier, and a direct blow was avoided.

The Greek Line vessel was tied up at Wolfe's Cove pier. having arrived here Friday. There were no passengers on board, but one unidentified crew member war slightly hurt.

W. A. Brodie. general manager here for Ramsey Grelg and Co. Ltd, agents for the Greek Line and Home Lines. said damage to both liners was "very slight." Passengers disembarking from the Homeric said the shock was hardly noticeable.

Gerard Picard, president of the Canadian and Catholic Confedera- tion of Labor, was on board the Homeric, returning from the In- tematlonal Labor Organization conference at Geneva.
