covers the Gatineau valley area north of Ottawa, always has re- turned Liberals.

Progressive Conservatives held Peel and Elgin last year with smaller majorities. Both are mix- ed urban and rural ridings, the first a few miles west of Tor- onto and the second south of London. Ont.

Monday's voters faced sunny skies and chilly winds as they de- clded an uneventful election cam- paign that revolved mainly around local issues and individual candidates.

Election speeches. in which party leaders and cabinet minis- ters participated, also echoed some of the issues of last year'-.i campaign in which Liberals ran on their government record and Conservatives promised tax re- ductions.

Rural Vofo Decisive

In Elgln. the rural vote carried Mr. McBain. His Liberal oppon- enf. won St. Thomas by a major- ity of 55.

With all 141. polls reported. Mr. Mchain had 11,870 votes to 10.628 for Mr. Rodney. His majority of 1,242 was lower than his party's 1.739 majority last August, when the vote was heavier.

In Gatineau. when vote-count- ing ended for the night with 101 of 111 polls reported. Mr. 1-educ had 3 4,004 lead over his Pm gresslvo Conservative opponent. Ernest A. St. Jean. The count at that point: Mr. Leduc. 6.549: Mr. 51. Jun, 2,545: Marcel Bonnier. Independent. 759: Roger Boucher,

. 688.

In Peel, Mr. Pailett took a lead from the start of the counting and widened it progressively. When counting stopped with all but one of the 141 polls report- ing. he had a lead of 4.791 V010!

over his Liberal opponent. Mr. 0'Marra.

The count at that time: Mr. Pallett. 13.337: Mr 0'Marra. 8.- 846; Mr. Ga s. CCF. mill.

Mr. Pallott's load was even

Signs of.Spring Work in" Offing

Preliminary signs that the long period of season unemployment may be on the wane. are in evid- ence, according to the Charlotte- town office of the National Em- ployment Service.

Yesterday the office received an order for eight men from the Marine branch of the Department of Transport, to clean and make ready buoys. prior to the opening of navigation. The man-were quick- ly procured from the ranks of the city's 'l0o idle men.

later in the day. Angl.in-Nor- cross, contractors for the T. Eaton building, asked for half a dozen laborers, who will commence work on the buildings foundation now that the excavation is practically completed.

Before many days the working force at the Eaton job will be still further increased. when the call for carpenters goes forth. There are a. large number of carpenters resident in Charlottetown waiting eagerly to return to work. and these will be quickly supplied when needed. ,

Early in April. probably before the tenth of the month the City of Charlottetown will re-engage a dozen or more men, according to Mr. James Fullerton, City Clerk. and many more will be taken on later for summer work.

The new building at the Char- lottetown Driving Park, siafsd to get under way this week will em- ploy only a small number in the early stages, but a fair sized crew as soon as the foundation work is completed.

With the jobs already started, and the reopening of other spring activities. the employment picture is due to brighten conside ably in the next few weeks in the opinion of local Employment Office peo- ple. Garages and service stations will soon be calling for men, and several electrical contractors will be enlarging their working crews in April. Plumbing contractors, too, look forward to a busy summer

because of the good outlook in con- '

struction work. It is expected too, that the boost given to employ- ment by tho encouraging construc- '-10n proamm will have an over- all stimulating effect on business in general.

centre Of Interest

In Ontario, interest centred on the contest in Peel, which had been repruented since 1936 by Gordon Graydon. an outstanding Progres- sive Conservative member, who died last September. The riding has returned Conservatives since 1900.

Last year Mr. Graydon hsd'a 1.604-vote majority, with 13,487 votes to 9,263 for Mr. 0'Marrs and 2.560 for (:0! candidate James Adams.

Elgin has been fairly evenly divided between Liberals and Con- servatives since Confederation. It has been represented since 1945 by Progressive conservative C. D. Coyle, who died in January.

Last year Mr. Coyie polled 12,401 votes to 10,748 for Liberal John 1''. Peterson.

Reports U. S. Economy In Excellent Shape

TORONTO, (AP)-Sinclair Weeks U. S. secretary of commerce. said today the lifnitcd states economy is "in excellent shape".

But if conditions should require. he said. "we shall not hesitate to use new monetary policy, new tax revisions, new incentives to busi- ness expansion and employment, large scale public works and what- ever further public spending and legislation are needed to cope with an emergency.”

Weeks did not specify what tax revisions are contemplated if' any economic emergency should arise. U. 8. treasury officials also have avoided saying what tax cuts they would recommend to stimulate bus- iness if it should decline to the point where they think such ac- tion ls needed.

Cllos Plus Factor

However, in an adddess prepared for delivery before the Canadian Club here. Weeks indicated he is optimistic. He recited the follow- ing "plus factors” in the Ameri- can economic outlook:

"The annual rate of nationial out-

put has gone down. but the de- cline so far has been moderate. Even so, we are operating at a current rate a bit below 3360.000.- ooo,ooo. The total for the year 1952 was s348.000,000,000. so we are much better off than two short years ago. United States total production in 1943 was recorded by the commerce department at s3o7,z5o.ooo.oo0, the highest ever.

"Business plans capital expendi- tures almost as high as in peak 1953 -the sum of 527.250.000.000. only four per cent less than last

year. "Construction activity in Feb- ruary on a seasonally adjusted

basis was up both from January. and from February, 1953.

Sales Expectations

"Business sales expectations in general should approximate those of 1953. Durable goods producers expect an 8 per,cent dip: utilities expect a 10 per cent dip.

"Total onsumer spending thus far in the first quarter of 1954 has kept pace with the fourth quarter of 1953 rate. The de- cline in durable goods purchases has been offset by a rise in spending for services.

"Personal income in January was at the annual rate of S2B2.500,000.- 000-less than two per cent be- low peak July. and 32.000.000.- 000 annual rats above January. 19533

base in good order.

Last week Egypt put out cl feeler through Jefferson Caffery. the U. S. ambassador in Cairo. on prospects of resuming talks about the canal.

On Eden's instructions. Am- bassador Sir Ralph Stevenson handed Britain's representations to President Mohamed Nazulb last Friday. .

Egypt's prompt rejection, the Calro official said. referred to "organized aggression of British forces against Egyptian civilians in the canal area." Egypt also contended that the current dis- orders followed the shooting of an Egyptian police officer by British soldiers March it. Egyp- tian civilians in the Suez arca have acted "in several instances

in self defence." the Egyptians said. Eden told the Commons that

Britain repudiated the suggestion that the shooting of the police officer justified in any way the attack on British troops. He add- od: "Two British service men have been placed under arrest by our military'authorit.'zes and in- vestigations are proceeding."

pointed out that Mr. Brawders was forced to retire on account of ill health and that he was not eligi- bio for a pension under the Pub- lic Servants Superannuation Act.

Both the Premier and Dr. W. J. P. MacMillan comm d r Mr. Brawders for his work with de-
