VS MEN'S MEETING - The Crniennia1Y's Men's Club held

MBA Maintenance Branch Seeking More Skilled Labor

Unable to secure locally the numbers of skilled men necessary to carry on its operation ade-

quately. the Maintenance Branch of the Maritime Central Airway: in ,Charlottetown is being forced to look for help as far away an England. -

In response to an advertise- ment in on English atilation jour- nal more than one hundred re- plies were received. and the up- plicants will be interviewed in London shortly. The interviews are hoped to procure ten en- gineers and thirty five mechanics of long cxpcrlencc and the high- cst skill.

Another potential source of supply is the great body of Dil- placed Persons now resident in Canada. Mr." Tom Edgett of M. C. A. left for Montreal today to interview a number of D.P.'s who have had experience in some of the great European plrcraft foc- tories. Some of tile newcomers have exceptional qualifications for this type of work.

The classifications of workers so urgently needed include aero- cngine mechanics. airframe mech- anics. radar and radio technicians. and instrument men.

The call for these men comes at a time when every aircraft company in Canada is seeking the very same classification of trades- HIGH.

Mr. Carl Burke. Manager Dir- ector of Maritime Contra Air- wnys. talking about the Canada- wicie shortage. regretted that the vacancies could not be filled loc- nily, hut pointed out that few Islanders had ever had the oppor- tunity to acquire the trades skills needed for aircraft maintenance

84 and repairs.

There was some compensation in knowing said Captain Burke that for every highly skilled man employed, one or perhaps more semi-skilled man could be used. It will be a very busy summe It the Charlottetown plant, where already more than 250 men He employed. This makes Maritime Ccntrnl one of the largest. "'1' ployers of labor in the Province.

so far as possible preference in employment has been given to Island iesidents. and the propor- tion of local workers is high-

their regular weekly supper meet- ing at the Y. M. C. A. last night. The principal speaker of the even- ing Dr. Mscvicar, gave an inter- esting lecture on psychiatry. Mr- Fulton Pierce was chairman and Mr. Myron Bell co-chairman of the meeting. Prior to the close of the meeting a minute's silence was observed in respect of the death of King George VI followed by an appropriate prayer for the occas- ion offered by Mr. Gamble. The meeting closed with the singing of God Save The Queen.

Addresses Meeting or Service clubs on Churchill llisit

"Her Majesty, The Queen."

For the first time in over half I century the toast which was so familiar for 01 yean was heard iizain in Prince Edward Island last night. It came as member: of the Rotary and Kinsmen Club- heid I ioint meeting int night at The ai-iottetown to hear I bileech by Mr. A. C. Hall. Deputy Director of the United Kingdom office of the High Commissioner's Office, Ottawa.

Mr. Hall varied greatly from the prepared text of his speech "The United Kingdom - Can- ada - United States Triangle in 1952." He stated that the sadden- ing circumstance of the dav. the death of His Majesty King George Sixth, compelled changes;

Instead the speaker relied on recent remarks of Prime Minis- ter Winston Churchill to convey the message. He spoke of- whet he termed Mr. Churchill's "presci- ence” during his speech at Ottawa last month. At that time the British leader said. "We have a truly beloved King. In constitu- tional duty he is faultless. In physical and moral courage he is an example to all his peoples. we are proud to pay him our tri- bute; and this is no formal salute

of loyalty but an expression of our deepest natural feelings." --Mr. Hall briefly outlined the

reason; for the visit to Washing- ton and Ottawa of Mr. Churchill and said that though United States newspaper oolumnlisti had derided the visit at first the Bri- tish leader had left the United

phere transformed. Crises In Egypt

The speaker mentioned the dif- ferences with Egypt over the Suez Canal and stated of the problem that "The Suez Canal is one which we considered, and still consider. to be a burden which we should not bear alone." He added that Great Britain had no imperlalistic designs on Egypt at all. Briefly referring to conditions behind the Iron Curtain he said that during his service in Russia he had married a Russian girl. "I am still waiting for the cur- tain to be lifted so she and our children may join me again."

Mr. Hall told of how Mr. Chur- chill was impressed with what he saw in Canada. 'The iichness of the life here compared with the grinding austerity of Britain; the foodshops bursting with every commodity nature and man produce; the sleek automobiles; the guns ANID butter." The De- puty Dii-cctor also remarked that we can only guess at what was in Mr. Churchill's mind when he stated or the two great war: of this century that they had turn- ed the economic balance of pow- er from the Old World to the New. and that that turning of balance had given Canada a "sacred mission to discharge."

Important. stage

Mr. Hall said it was his belief that the Washington and Ottawa talks marked a. new and vitally

request of his counsel.

The greatest show on earth just now is the industrial production of the Western nations.

” Canada has a big role in the show. And (Ian- adais primary textile industry, with the largest maliufacturing employment, the largest payroll, and with factories well diversified throughout the smaller communities, is a star player in the i Canadian show.

States with the U.K.-U.S. atmos- -

The results of field studies con- cerned with varietal resistance to potato verticlllium wilt were giv- en by member: of the staff of the Charlottetown Laboratory of Plant Pathology Science Service before the Agricultural Council in conference here yesterday. Healthy seed of H varieties Ind seedlings was planted imsoll harboring the verticilllum organism.

Stock under test includes many Dromlilns blight resistant seed- lings. some of which may be adopted on I. commercial scale if they survive further screening tests, the report noted. The Hounia variety and 3 scab resistant seed- ling showed high resistance to the Will. while high susceptibility was noted in the varieties Sebago, Can-50. Kennebec, Pontiac and certain blight resistant seedlings.

To common storage rot, high Iuaceptlbility was noted in the varieties Sebaga, Keswick, Chip- pewa and in the blight resistant seedlings 4.26 and 458. No seri- ous susceptibility to this condi- tion was found in Irish Cobblers. l-Iouma and in seedlings d519, 4:24 and 122. The Sebago has proven highly resistant to F. coeruleum decay and the Irish Cobbler pos- sesses moderate susceptibility ttr this organism.

The report notes that an ap- parent deficiency of the element molybdenum in cauliflower has appeared on two market garden area: near Charlottetown. Plants on these areas show the typical ”whiptail" appearance that has

been shown to be associated with this deficiency in other places. particularly Great Britain and

Australia.

Treatment results, reviewed in the report. support the conclus- ions of other workers that liming renders the molybdenum in the soil more available to plants and that the deficiency can be rem- edied by applying sodium moly- bdate with the Icrtilizi-r.

Potato Funglcldel

Reference is made to five potato fungicides tested during the year under a. co-operative project at Ladner, B.C., Deschambauli: and Ste. Anne de la Pocatiere, Que- bec. Fredericton, N.B., and Char- lottetown. Bordeaux mixture gave greatest protection against into

.”between our three countries”. which are linked so intimately in the North American triangle. He added that to quote from Mr. Churchill the results would show "All will be well. We have, I believe within us the life-strength and guiding light by which the tormented world around us may find the harbour of safety, af- ter a storm-beaten voyage."

The chairman for last night's joint meeting was Dr. E. S. Gid- drings who called on Mr. Fremont Archer. president of the Kinsmen Club to introduce the speaker. Dr. W. J. P. Maclvfillan expressed the thanks of the gathering for the talk heard and told Mr. Hall that this Province was closer to Britain than any other part of Canada.

Another note, of the tremend- ous change which had taken place within the space of a few hours. came when the nieetinz closed with the singing of ”God

Save The Queen."

Research Continued In Plant Pathology

blight on the foliage.

Five f glcidea were included in the screening test at Charlotte- town. Under the severe eplphy- totic that prevailed only Pe-rennx showed good foliage control; the others failed cariv in the season to protect the plants.

A survey conducted in the Pro- vince during 1951 showed that 133 per cent of the growers used no fungicide and that manv nf those who sprayed or dusted ap- plied fewer treatments than were necessary to afford adequate pro- tection. Data collected at Char- lottetown for several years show that the investment in fungicides is manifoidiv returned to the grower. -

In the test plots in 1951. the report notes. it cost 57.06 per acre for the copper sulphate and lime required to apply Bordeaux mix- ture through the season. The in- creased yield of Number 1 tubers over the untreated ploLs was '17.? bushels per acre. These potatoes are worth 32.00 per bushel or s156-4o- for the total increased yield. In this case 522.04 was re- turned for each dollar invested in fungicides. The mean return D-er dollar invested in Bordeaux dur- ing the 5-year period 1957-1951 was 324.40.

The report notes that the Char- lottetown Laboratory has entered its thirty-sixth year of public ser- vice in the interests of agricul- tural. the main field or research beinz concerned with diseases of field crops and potatoes. The fire which destroyed the Laboratory building in January. 1931. proved a. disaster but plans took shave immccllateiy at Headquarters level to replace the physical losses by a modern science service build- ing which wili be made available during the present year.

Members of the Laboratory staff are Messrs. R. R. Hurst, G. W. Ayers. L. C. Calibeck, D. Bf Robin- son and J. E. Campbell.

Potato Shipments

Continued from page 1

Provincial Department of Agri- culture that grocers' bins of bulk potatoes and small packages sold should be marked with grade and variety and thus give the pur- chaser an opportunity to pur- chase the grade desired. We hope when this is enacted that further improvement in grade and qual- ity will be noted.

”In the past three years we have noted a steady increase in market prefe.-ence for potatoes packed in l0-lib. and 15-lb. pack- ages. Great care in packing those packagu is necessary and we have had meetings with shippers. load- ers and warehouse men which have resulted in a marked im- provemcnt in grade and unit'oi'ni- iiy of size."

Turnip:

During the year maggot injury caused untold damage and loss to the turnip grower. and while great care was exercised in the inspection service. many affcctcd specimens passed notice and went forth to further impair the Ls- land markets. which are quite limited.

stressing the seriousness of this pest, Mr. Shaw went on to say:

"Many farmers are not aware of the seriousness of this injury and they feel they should be al- lowed to grade and ship. provid- ing the outward appearance of the turnip is not marred to any great extent. This -is I grave mistake. and we think it will become ne- cessary to demand I warehouse pack.

"the shipments from the lflifo crop amounted to 1,511,200 bush- els. as compared to 680.300 bush- els from our 1950 crop. Last year to December am, 466,200 bushels were shipped, and from our knowledge of the present..hold- ings of shipping stock. movement for the remainder of the season will be rather light."

strawberries

The acreage has increased in the past ten years from less than fifty acres to over three hundred acres. Due toumfavourable weath- er conditions and it late June frost. the average yield per acre was below that of previous years. A good market was maintained due to preserving, canning and cold storage accommodation which was available and pro- tectcd the grower at the peak of picking from being forced to ac- cept below - cost-of-production prices. ,

Local Procedure Following Death at King Geo. V Recalled

It is recalled locally that in 1936 following the death of King George V the Lieutenant Governor was sworn in four days after his death with the Provincial Cabinet being sworn the day after that. The Proclamation regarding the Coronation was issued -on Janu- IFY 24. 1936

There was a gun salute. 21 gum fired on the day of the proclama- tion, and anothcr of 70 one-min- 1119 suns fired on the day of the funeral. The latter salute was fir-. ed one gun for each year of his age. This was done by special in- structions from the Department of National Defence at Ottawa. Under regulations on the death of I. sovereign all flag: will be flown at half-most with the lex- ception of the day on which the proclamatioirof .1 new Sovereign is made when they will fly at full

Blueberries Neither the yield nor price equalled that of the prcvious

YCEY. 6,000 cases were canned and 480,000 lbs. were frozen. Pickers received seven to nine cents per pound. Shipments of frozen berries were made to Montreal and B05- ton markets. The value of this product is estimated at 560,000. while the 1950 crop was over bl00.000.00.

The Department of Industry and Natural Resources has un- dertaken a program of burning. spraying, fertilizing and cultivat- ing. This will tend to increase the value and the quality of this product.

in cucumbers the yield exceed- ed that of the two previous years- but blight caused a considerable loss. 1.150.000 lbs. were deliver- ed to the Matthews-Wells plant. realizing approximately 550,000. A new variety of blight resistant seed will be supplied to the grow- ers next season.

Canned Vegetables

Three hundred cases of beets and 1.000 cases or waxed beans were canned. with the quality choice and the finaiicial results encouraging.

"There can be iii.i.iP doubt that. the canning of vegetables will be increased next season.

In cranberries the yield was fair and the market demand light. in addition to the amount used in this Provincc. 44.000 pounds were processed into jcllicd cran- berries.

The incrr-ase in yield of honey from 48,000 lbs. in 1960 to 72.000 lbs. in 1961 was no doubt due to more favourable weather condi- tions and an abundant. crop of clover. The value of this crop approximates &l2.000.

"We are especially interested in the progress made in the can- ning of fruit and vegetables." Mr. Shaw stated. '”Elcven register- ed canneries operated during the canning season and although the total pack is small compared with large canneries, especial atten- tion is given to the quality of stock packed. resulting in the Is- land canned product being sec- ond to none offered for sale and if good quality isimaintained. at an early date P. E. Island pro- ducts will replace much of the canned goods now offered for sale in this Province."

HEALTH METHOD

It is estimated that about 65 P9! cent of milk sold in Canada for human consumption is pasteurized.
