Successful Rotary Auction Last Night

The results of last night's Radio Auction. sponsored by the Char- lottetown notary‘ Club and held in aid of the Provinces crippled children, were most gratifying not ‘only to those who participated in the auction but alsc‘l.o the public- spiritod firms and individuals who furnished the hundreds of articles put up for sale.

Winner of- the grand prize tur- key was Gordon White of Upper

Prince Street. Othar winners of turkeys were: First prize O. R. Symons, B’! Upper Prince Street;

second prize. P.J. MacDonald. Kent Street; third prize. Billy ficlsean. Mount Edward Road.

While the amount of money re- alized could not be ascertained. it was disclosed that over 100 more articles were sold last night than at last year's auction. The bid- ding was brisk from the opening at 6.15 and continued so until one o'clock this morning.

Rotary officials expressed the opinion early this morning that the sum realized would at least equal that of last year's sals.

Mr, MacKeen said the rating probably was "punch drunk" from overwork and had missed the sig- nal which might have prevented loss of life and serious damage to tho destroyer.

A-t the August hearing it was testified that a "blip" which ap- peared momentarily on the radar screen "at 500 yards” was not re- ported to the bridge when it did not. re-aappear.

Radar technicians said the sq- ulpmcni. often was not reliable at less than 500 yards but the possi- bility of it failing to pick up an approaching object "of the char- acter of tho Yul-mouth County is most remote."

Criticizing Pl-cmicr Jollcs‘s state- ments on tile recent strike ill Charlottetown. Mr. J. A. Nichol- son. Halifax, told a 0.011‘. polit- ical meeting at the Sporting CIllD last night that when tile Premier said lle was llot gollig to allow '10 strikers to dictate to 12.000 far-ul- ers, llc "betrayed his utter lack of knowledge of the irlle situation.”

“l! tile PItllllCl‘ had said.” Nicholson continued, "that he was not going to allow Calladzi Pack- ers to dictate to tile 12,000 farm- ers llllLI the '10 workers. he would lluve been saying something."

Most of lvu. Nlcllolsolfs speecll was devoted to it summary of the activities of tile C.C.F. Govern- ment ill Saskatchewan, the only Government in the world. hc claimed, wilicil allowed its civil servants, Liberal. Conservative, or C.C.F‘.. a month's leavc of absence to contest an election with the assurance of their positions should they be defeated at the polls.

The population of Prince Ed- v/ardflsland vras 2,000 less now than it was 75 years ago, Mr. Nicholson stated. He attributed the emigration of 70,000 young pcople frc-m the Province during‘ that time to the inability of the old parties to provide employment for them here.

Mr. Douglas MacFarlane, C.C.F. candidate for Fifth Queen's, said lie predicted agricultural prices would soon be falling rapidly while feed grains and fertilizer would continue to rise in price. l-lc said it would not surprise him to see a ceiling placed on potatoes on Dec. l2. "

ceding prices. r

Need For Action

“This sort of tiling causes much concern. loss of money and dis- satisfaction on the part of grower and consumer alike. I'm not a hard and fast price control advo- cate. but I do feel that there is real need for some governmental‘ action to stabilize our potato mar-l kci. There is danger of the pllbliv: being exploited by the middle- man."

Speaking of price control, Mr. Douglas quipped;

“One thing that does need lo he controlled in this country is the heat in those C.N.R. sleepers from tile Maritimcs to Montreal. Tile car I came up in was so hot that we were all nearly boiled. They need to put sCme more air in their air-conditioners."

the Provincial Liberal party Gov- ernment seemed to be trying to prejudice the farmers against la- bour. Such an attempt. he said. would fail because every intellig- ent farmer knew labour was the biggest collsulnel" of illc farmers’ products and that without a de- cent wage labour couil not buy.
