Doctor Blasts School Exams

LONDON (Reuters) - A British doctor Friday blasted school ex- aminations as a "savage survival" of tribal initiation rites and blamed them for the spread of the smoking habit among young peo-

e. "The main reason for young adults smoking is the pernicious effects of the present unjust ex- amination system, whereby a young man's career is at the mercy and caprices. if not gener- osity of heart, of examiners." said Dr. Gareth Rees Davies in a letter to the British Medical Jour-

nal.

"Anthropologicnlly speaking, the

examination system is a survival of the early tribal initiation rites. "Similarly the cult of smoking the pipe of peace showed that even the savages had advanced their ideas in the socialization of the younger generation. . . "None of my examiners offered me as much. I would be interested in making a correlatioh study. therefore. between the incidence of smoking and the examination failure rate in grammar schools and universities."

PORT ARTHUR - (Special)- An increase in the support price of butter for the balance of 1957 designed to prevent speculation in butter and to stabilise prices dur- ing the winter months so that ex- cessive fluctuations harmful to both producer and consumer may be avoided was a request made to- day by the Canadian Federation of Agriculture.

Declining butter production at the 5130 support price is not prov- ing sufficient to arrest the decline in butter productiuu. The Feder- ation declnred, and with the dis- appearance of surplus production the support price should be in-

Deficit In Old Age Pensions

OTTAWA (CPD - The federal government's old-age pension fund continued to show a deficit on the eve of the July 1 increase in pen- sion payments.

Finance Minister Fleming. in his monthly treasury statement Friday. said the fund had a defl- cit of M.000.0(l) in June. The pen- sion was increaaed to 846. from 840. July 1.

Railway Says Bus To Wait Turn In Crossings Of Ferry

Bus Service

Results From Railway Stand

A recent order of the Canadian National Railway denying island Motor Transport busses priority in Borden Ferry crossings during scheduled trips of the bus has re- sulted in a decided temporary disruption of bus service to and from the island. This was learned from government sources yester- day. Mr. G. R. Greenough. superin- tendent of the island Division, Can- ndian National Railways. stated last night he had no comment to make on the matter at the present time.

A bus load of 25 passengers last Thursday was required to miss the regular 12.50 crossing of the carferry and had to wait until the next scheduled crossing of the boat which was at 2.15.

This ius.uDV9I'IlBIIC9 to the pan- sengers, many of them travelling to New York. Boston. Toronto and other points. was further in- creased when it was learned that they had missed their mainland connection.

It is reported that some of the passengers who had started their Journey from the eastern end of the island had not eaten since early morning. They had intended to get a meal on the boat at noon.

1851 AGREEMENT

I.M.T. Officials state that in 1951 an agreement had been reached with the Canadian National Railways that motor coaches would

be carried on the ferry during reg- -

ular scheduled trips of the bus and until a week or ten days ago everything had run smoothly. The bus company pays the railway 45 cents a passenger one way and 810.00 for the return trip of the bus.

Toward the end of last week. tbs bus company was notified by the Railway that from then on busaea would not be given priority is crossing. They were told they could cross but would have to wait in line with the other cars.

it is reported that this order was later rescinded until Weddel- day of this week when the bus company was again notified they had made the last crossing on a priority basis.
