Three Soldiers Plead Guilty To Armed Robbery

COCHRANE, Ont, Nov, 7-—(CP) -'I‘hree soldiers, absent without leave from Camp Borden, Ont.. today pleaded guilty to charges of armed robbery in the holdup of a North Bay, Ont.. taxi driver, Oct. 30.

Edward Hyder, 22, of Jarvis, Alte., was sentenced to 2 1-2 years in penitentiary. Robert Macdonald, 22, of Slave Lake, Alta. and Wei- don Connors of Stellarton, N. 5.. were Elven two years, less a day. in reformafory.

The taxi driver, Frank Demarco, testified he picked up the three uniformed soldiers in North Bay. Three miles north of the city, he asked for his fare and Connors and I-Iyder drew guns and told him to keep on driving.

Demarco snid they drove north for the remainder of the day. At Driftwood, 20 miles west of Coch- rane, he was taken into the bush, forced to change clothes with Con- nors, and left bound by the road- side.

Police arrested the men the next day near the taxi, which they found abandoned east of Cochrans with a fiat tire.

Captain H, J. I-Iynas, latent adjutnnt at Camp Borden, told the court that pistols found in possession of the three men had been stolen earlier at the army

camp.

Capt. Hynes said the army was willing to fake Connors back if he were placed on suspended sen- tenca in view of a previous good record. Magistrate E. H. Tucker declined to suspend ‘ . He said he saw no reason why Cen- nors, who had originally engaged the cab, should be treated differ- ently from the others.

THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN

For Sending

The Canadian authorities are ar- rI-nslns to supply s5 pounds of Dotato seeds of eight important varieties from New Brunswick viz. Green Mountain, Katalidin. Bliss Triumph, Irish Cobbler. Pontiac. Sebago. Chippewa and White Rose for trial ln Indie. and it is likely that the seeds mentioned in your letter of September l7 refer to one or the othr varieties i mentioned above. If. however, there are other varieties which could be spared. the institute of potato research would be very glad to have sim- ilar seed samples from Prince Ed~ ward Island.

Yours Sincerely, P. K. Banerjee.

Tonight Mr. McLuro expressed the hope that either Provincial Government officials or growers

will endeavor to have some P. E. I. seeds shipped to Indie. for trial. either through the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture or inde- pendently.

“I have no doubt whatever of the high quality of New Brunswick potatoes." Mr. McLure said, "except from my own observation, I feel that ours in Prince Edward Island are Just a little finer. a little healthier and a little more uniform as to grade. I am glad in any case that the potato industry is branch- ing out and seeking new foreign markets and still have hopes that we in our Province will be able to have a share in those new markets."

Experiments Under Way In Fertilizing

Experiments In the fertilizing of pastures and haylands in the fall and spring were started yesterday on the Illustration Stations in the Province and the fall fertilizing is now under way, reports Mr. Nor- man Black, supervisor of the Pro- vince’: Illustration Stations.

The experiments include the f0- tal fertilizing of an area in the fall for comparison with the totisi n the spring. A third area will be fertilized half In the fall and half in the spring. Six hundred lbs. of 5-10-10 is used per acre.

Mr. R. C. Parent, superintendent of the Experimental Station, drew attention to an article on the fell application of fertilizer to Pl!- turos and hsylanda in the October issue of the American Potash In- etitute'| monthly bulletin ‘Better Crops and Plant Food." Agronomlsts are ndvocatini "l? fall fertilization of pastures and meadows for the followifll "'1- sons:

(S) Easier spreading in the fall when the turf is solid rather than when it is wet and soft in the series:

(3) Supplleg of fertilizer may be more readily available in the fall than In tho sprlnl-

It is also pointed out that fall fertilization often starts IPOWUI earlier in the sprinl. end "I- creases the amount of Irellnl M‘ hay over that obtained from spring fertilization.

(Ihlef Executive Commissioner 0f Scouts At Rotary

Major General Dan Spry. Chief Executive Cossunlssione of Boy Scouts of Canada was the speaker at the Charlottetown Rotary Club yesterday. The speaker was intro- dueed by Rotarian Robert C. Por- cnl. Provincial Commissioner of Boy scouts in Prince Edward island. Rotarls-ris 'I‘om Mitchell, and Mark Calder were cO-chllfzmen.

The Boy Scout organization ls the largest international movement of the present time. said Com- missioner Spry. and any mEIl claim- ing education and culture shoulti be ashamed to admit he know; m. tie or nothing about Scouting.

Stressing ‘the international aspect of the movement. the speaker said that every two years an internation- al conference was held and he llad greatly enjoyed the privilege of at- tending the last conference which had been held in Norway. This was very much like the General As- sembly of the United Nations Or- ganlzalion, and it had been attend- ed by 140 men from different count- ries of the world. From it was elect- ed a 12 man committee which was the real world authority for Scout- iiw. Although they all wore differ- ent clothes, and spoke different languages, yet the members were united in that they all had the some scout law and promise.

There is s. great unity in the Soout movement. said the Commiss- ioner. This has been achieved through courses in training starting at the international level. In Can- ada the National Jamboree held last year debunked three myths which were believed tn prevent unity in Canada. Boys of eleven dif- ferent denominations, of three dif- ferent languages, and coming from widely separated geographical areas. lived together and worked harmon- iously ln the development of their scouting ability.

In addition to the 10.000 scout leaders in Canada all of whom are volunteers, there are at least 23,000 men who spend some part of their time on, “ This i ,. ts about one million man hours each year devoted to making better Can- adians. The Boy Scouts help the home. church. and school. in train- ing boys to become good men.

Guests included Rntarlma A. H. Britt-lain, Montreal, Rev. Dr. I". W. Patterson. Wolfviils, and Messrs. K. M. Martin, J. 0. l-Iyndman, R. 5.1’. Jsrdine, C. I-I. Black. Dr. J.A. Davlson, W. A. Gaudet, arid Gor- don Kerr. ’
