Tourisi Industry Prospects Bright

"The tourist prospects for the 1956 season at the present appear mbebrlghtes'f.hanforab)'PT0' mu; year." said Mr. George Fras- gr, Director of the P. E. 1. Travel Bureau at Charlottetown. "if the current flow of enquiries is- any indication. tourist accommodation throughout the Province will be practically filled to capacity."

During the month of January the number of letter enquiries receiv- ed averaged about twenty-five per day, in February this increased to . daily average of forty to forty- five. Near the end of February the tint advertising campaign was launched in United States news- papers, particularly those in the Boston area.

The effects of this campai be- gan to be felt early in Marc and so far this month the average daily number of mail enquiries has been approximately one hundred and fit

so far this year the greatest number received in any one day. was yesterday, when three hund- rel and seven were handled. This is believed to be largest number handled in a single day since the Travel Bureau was inaugurated. The total tally for the period Jan- nary 1 to March is. shows that the increase over the same period last year is about twenty-five per cent.

"I am proud of the Dairy people of this province who are conduct- ing the leading industry on P. E. island and the only one conduct- ing a voluntary advertising cam- paign which has promoted the in- dustry to a great extent". Hon. Eugene Cullen. Minister of Agri- culture said in addressing the ban- quet of the Prince Edward Island Dairymen's Association held at the Charlottetown Hotel last night.

Mr. Cullen told of his attend- ancest a meeting in Fredericton. N. 8.. with Ministers and Deputy Ministers from the different pro- vinces and their subsequent meet- in get Ottawa with the Federal Minister of Agriculture. He deplor- ed the number of vacant farms on the island. due to the youth of the country leaving the province to seek employment in the cities of Ontario. He attributed some of the loss to the absorption of terms into the holdings of neighboring farm- ers. He drew attention to the soil survey which had disclosed that much non-profitable land was be- ing worked.

Mr. Cullen made a strong ap- peal to the Association to adhere to the National body and present a solid front against the inroads of the "Radical wing". which sometimes was used to describe the Farmer's Union of Canada which appeared at times to de- mand "everything under the sun". "The Federation should be the forum for all agricultural matters", the Minister aid.

Better teachers, more prosper- ous farmers, better housing, im- proved transportation. tax changes and rural electrification were some of the things considered in the brief of the Prince Edward island Labour Council which was present- ed to the Legislature yesterday.

Read by the President. Alexand- er Macbean and signed by him and by James Co es, treasurer and Russell Doyle, secretary. the brief was presented before a House crowded with visitors.

Premier Mntheson expressed the appreciation of the Legislature for the suggestions contained in the brief. He noted few minor discrep- encies which he attributed to the inexperience of a new group malt- ing a Parliamentary submission for the first time.

The Premier said there were no licenses issued nor were there any accidents. He said the amendment covered only the two vehicles mentioned in the Act. it did not, he said refer to farm tractors.

He observed that many farm boys are perhaps more adept at operating farm tractor: than their fathers and on occasion it was necessary for them to take the tractors unto the highway. He felt there was danger of an accident which he said could well happen under such circumstances.

LABOUR

Our chief duty in this regard is to that section- of island eople, who depend on the profltab e sale of their labour for their living. and we would rpectfully request that you. give serious consideration to all recommendation in this item.

We request that the Trade Union Act be amended to provide:

(ll That workers in all urban in- dustries and services be granted the right to membership in a free trade union of their choice. that the law will not permit discrimin- etion against such worker for mem- ber ”, or non-memberahl, in such union, and that the limitation of fifteen employees of one employ- er be removed. so that all may enjoy equal rights in a free country.

(2) That a minimum wage of Thirty-Five Dollars per week for males and Twenty-Five Dollars for females be mandatory. and that skilled and semi-skilled workcrs be paid a premium for their work in accordance with the skill or train- ing required in any particular trade or profession.

(3) That all employees in any industry be granted with pay one week of holidays in their first year of service. and two weeks holidays thereafter.

Have Clue In , Boys' Mtlrder

CHICAGO (AP)-Police Wednes day revealed a promising scien- tific clue which they hope will crack the mysterious strangulation of three Chicago boys.

A chemical analysis of scrapings from the boys' fingernails and feet indicates they were slain or held prisoner in a fairly large ma- chine shop or factory.

This shop or factory handles a special kind of stainless steel used in jet airplane engines or for other high temperature uses.

Police have run through more than 2,000 clues in their search for the slayer or slayers of John Schuessler, 13; his brother. Anton. ii. and Robert Peterson, 14. Their nude bodies were found Oct. 18 in

Grocer Gains 36.40 In Holdup Aflempf

NEWARK, NJ. (AP) -- Edward Schweitzer, a grocery store owner, gained 36.40 Wednesday from an attempted holdup.

Scweitzer said a nervous gun- man ran from the store when he yelled for help, leaving behind a dollar bill and 35.40 worth of gro-

An Act to amend the Pataio Pm- duciion Act brought forth some lively discussion when it was read a Second time in the Legislature yesterday. Hon. Eugene Cullen the mover of the hill outlined the amendments which he indicated were for the purpose of putting teeth into the act especially as it pertains to the seed industry.

The first amendment does away with the term Foundation A seed. This class of seed which is slightly inferior to Foundation stock was introduced as a war measure when it was thought there might be a shortage of the foundation type. The clause relating to Found- ation A seed has been in the Act until now and since there is no reas- on for it, this designation will no longer exist.

Another amendment calls for a change in the amount of fine for vilclation of seed planting regulat- ions. Previously the fine was 5100. Now it will read ”a minimum of S50 and a maximum of 51,000." Mr. Cullen pointed out that the fine of 3100 was pretty stiff for the small grower while a 3100 fine for a large gr wer was a mere pittance.

arold Smith (Liberal), Third Queens asked the mover whether it was the intention of the Depart- ment ot Agriculture to strictly en- force the Act. He also asked how many were convicted under it dur- lng the last few years and what fines were imposed.

The Minister said he could not recall any convictions under the existing -Act.

STRINGENT MEASURES

Mr. Smith said the spread of dis- ease in the potato crop was becom- ing a serious matter and unless stringent methods were taken the results to the industry would be disastrous.

Hon. J. George Macl(ay agreed with Mr. Smith that the matter of controlling disease in potatoes was a big problem. He recalled that last spring a certain farmer sold a quantity of seed potatoes to a

U.S. Table Potato v Quota Is Nearly Filled Says Board Mgr.

"The duty on Canadian potatoes entering U. S. A. was increased from 379& cents per cwt. to 75 cents over the weekend." said, Mr. Elric Campbell manager of the Prince Edward island Potato Marketing Board. "This action is usually tak- en when the quota of 1,000,000 bushels become about 00 percent tilled. Several carloads got caught on the high rate but the shippers will no doubt receive a refund of 8795 cents when the actual total of imports has been computed. This indicates that almost the 1.000.000 bushels of table stock have entered the United States since Sept 15th."

"Table stock movement from New Brunswick to United States markets has been fairly heavy the past few wccks and information on the total imports from Canada has been slow in coming out.

"The March lst Canadian Potato Stnroge holding shows about 2,000,- 000 bushcls more potatoes in Can- ada than a year ago and only slightly less than two ycnr's ago. Practically all of these potatoes are in the Maritimes - about 500.- (D0 bushels extra in Prince Ed- ward island and 1,500,000 bushels extra in New Brunswipk.

Expect Massey Term Extended .

OTTAWA (CF)-The term of Rt. Hon. Vicent Massey. Canada's first nativeborn governor-general. likely will be extended, perhaps by a year or more.

His five-year tenure at Govern- ment House is due to expire in February. 1957. But an extension is virtually assured because of prospects of a general election. his willingness to serve as long as the country wants him and his general success in a difficult role.

It now is almost certain that Prime Minister St. Laurent will call a general election in mid-1957. And it is just as clear that Mr. St. Laurent will not seek to appoint a new governor-general before he goes to the polls.

No governor - general has re mained two full five-year terms in office. But some of them have received extensions. usually of one year, and is at least one case, two years.

In the case of Mr. Massey, the first phase of the extension may be informal and short. Mr. Mas- sey may be asked to remain in of- fice until the government decides otherwise. This would give the in- coming government--if the Liber- als lose-s chance to recommend a new appointee to the Queen it it so desires.

MAY GET FULL YEAR

Should the Liberals return to power, the extension likely will be made formal and increased to give Mr. Massey. all told. at least an extra full year in office, or per- haps more.

Mr. St. Laurent and Mr. Masse met at Government House Wed- nesday night. The extension might have been touched on at this meet- lng. though officials emphasized that the get-together was strictly informal.

The two are scheduled to em-

bark on important trips in oppo- site directions and this may be their last meeting before they leave.

Mr. Massey. 69. plans to leave Tuesday on a 17-day. 10,000-mile Arctic air trip that will make him the first governor-general to travel through the high Arctic and circle the North Pole.
