HALIFAX (CP)-When Maritime oldtlmers talk of the year of the big snow it'll be the winteriof 1955-56 from now on.

The season's 20th snowstorm swept up the east coast Good Fri- day. By nightfall up to two inches of fresh snow was added to the near-record total dropped by the sformlest winter in a decade.

Before the storm started Friday morning Halifax had 126.8 inches of snow this winter. The all-time record is 130.2 in 1917-18. The fall in an average winter is 70 inches.

The latest snow was followed by sleet and rain along the Atlantic shore. In many areas holiday motorists drove gingerly over glazed pavements.

Gale force east winds of 35 miles an hour whipped up a boiling suri on , t headlnnds.

The storm followed the pattern of most this winter. The heaviest snow fell in Nova Scotia. Southern New Brunswick got less and the northern regions only a trace.

Nova Scotia before the storm ends.

After four days of bright sun- shine most Nova Scotlans greeted the falling flakes with groans of

20th Snowstorm Of Season is Cause For Groans In Maritimes

"will it never end?"

Ten days after the official start of spring a heavy snow blanket covers all parts of the Maritime provinces. Nova Scotia has been continuously snow - covered since the disastrous January rains and floods.

Halifax had its first snowstorm Nov. 20 and the snow stayed- except for the two - week flood period. The city had its first white Christmas in eight years.

The March snow record of 32 inches, set in 1884. was topped a week ago. With the month not yet past the total now is close to 3!) inches.

LOGGING STALLED

The heavy snow has made log- ging operations almost impossible in most areas. Snow is so deep loggers have to clear each tree with shovels before starting a cut.

Anglers face poor prospects for early fishing. Southern lakes, oftcn clear by now, are still bound by ice and snow.

The unseasonal weather cut heavily into Easter shopping. Mer- chants report slow business in spring lines. There is one bright spot, however. Sales of rubbers and overshoes have soared. As for snow shovels, they were sold out long ago.

president and State Secretary Dul- les that Canadian public opinion was becoming impatient with the present state of affairs but made it clear that Canada does not plan any sudden change of its own poli- cies in respect to the Chinese situ- ation.

Canada. unlike Britain. has not recognized Red China. It has con- tinued its formal recognition of the regime of G:u8I'8llSSlITl0 Chiang Kai-Shek on Formosa but has al- lowed diplomatic relations between Ottawa and Taipei to lapse.

FIRST AROSE TUESDAY

Diplomatic informants said the subject of Red China was first brought up at White Sulphur Springs in the course of a general discussion of foreign affairs among Eisenhower, the prime minister and Mexican President Adolfo Ruiz Cortines and their adviers on Tuesday morning.

At that time Dulles gave a gen- eral review of his recent tour through south Asia and the Far East. Pearson is reported to have said that the Formosa-Red China problem had not been mentioned by Dulles and to have inquired about the American view on it. This led into a brief discussion of the Nationalist-held coastal islands of Quemoy and the Matsus. Dulles is reported to have said that it would be impossible to separate those islands from Formosa be- cause Chiang Kai - Shek regards them as integral parts of his territory.

Tuesday afternoon U.S. dele- gates met. separately with the Canadian and Mexican officials.

It was in this two-way talk with the Canadians that the subject of recognition and Untied Nations membership arose.

Gas-turbine Car Makes Run Coast-To-Coast

LOS ANGELES (AP)-Chrysler's gas-turbine powered sedan ended its coast-to-coast run at the city hall Friday. It averaged 14 miles a gallon on the trip.

The car is a standard Plymouth model except for the power plant. Engineers said the motor is 200 pounds lighter than a comparable gasoline engine. It has H) per cent fewer parts. requires no radloator', transmission. cooling fan, or car- buretor and has only one spark Pllll. Much is used for starting only. It uses virtually any kind of cl.

The car is propelled by a Jet of hot gases blasting against fan blades of a turbine. The jet stream spins the turbine up to 50.000 revo- lntlons a minute.

W. E. Phillips Dies Suddenly Thurs. Morning

Mr. W. E. Phillips. well known in Island contracting and burilding circles for many years in associa- tion, with his father the late Hen- ry J. Phillips. died suddenly on Thursday morning after a heart seizure.

Mr. Phillips. who was residing at the Revere Hotel, read the morn- lng paper in the hotel office. and then went to his room before go- ing out for breakfast. A short time afterwards he collapsed on the bathroom i'loor. He was beyond aid when his doctor arrived. He was to have entered hospital for treat- ment on the day he was stricken.

"Bill" Phillips was born in Mur- ray Harbour. July 14, 1901, and was therefor in his 55th year. The family moved to Charlottetown in his early youth and he attended West Kent School. the Halifax Tec- hnical School and later took a bu- siness course.

From his early teens onward he worked with his father. on many construction jobs at different loca- tions iu the province. He acquired an unusually wide acqualntanceship throughout the Island and had the ability to handle crews of men har- moniously and efficiently.

He assisted in the building of the Iona. St. Columbus and George- town Catholic Churches. aud the Charlottetown Hospital. He was building Inspector during the erec- tion of the Hospital at Antlgonish. N. S.. and was a supervisor dur- ing the construction of the radar station at Tignlsh in the last World

ar.

For many years he took a great

interest in the Fish and Game As- sociation and supported the move- ment introducing new types of up- land game birds into the province. He was regarded as one of the best shots on the Island as well as being an enthusiastic fisherman. Until a few years ago he devoted considerable time to golf and was a member of the Charlottetown Club for an extended period. a member of the now dis- banded P. E. I. Llghthorsethe late Mr. Phillips rose from a trooper to the rank of Captain. He revert- ed to the rank of Lieutenant to join the P. E. I. Highlanders -when the regiment left the Province for war service on the outbreak of the Second World War. Later he was found medically unfit for overseas service and took his discharge. Few men knew the Island better than he did. its roads, its bye roads, its streams, itrrivers. and beauty spots, and everywhere he knew many people and had many friendships.

Though he had lived briefly in Florida and other parts of the Unit- ed States. and had travelled over most of Canada he had an enduring love for the Island, which never dirnlnished.

Surviving him are one brother Harry E.. of Charlottetown. and one sister Ann, Mrs. Stephen Barrett of Chicago. Another brother Mr. E. M. Phillips assed away just as suddenly three years ago. The sur- viving ssiter, Mrs. Barrett. arriv- ed in Charlottetown last night by plane and train from Chicago.

The funeral of Mr. Phillips takes place today. Saturday. from Tri- nity United Church at 2 p.m.

of a causeway from Borden to Cape Jourimain, N. B.. is econo- mically feasible we will have hurd- led one of the most important fac- tors in realizing the fulfillment of this project," said Premier Mathe- son speaking on the causeway re- solution which was agreed to by the Legislature before closing on Thursday.

The following is the text of the resolution:-

"WHEREAS it is vital to the economy of Prince Edward Island that a convenient and efficient means of transportation be main- tained between the province and the mainland.

"AND WHEREAS the increase of traffic offering at each ferry ter- rninai has shown a very steady marked upward trend in the last ten years,

"AND WHEREAS the traffic on this route during the 1955 season so far exceeded the previous fig- ures that the ferry boats operat- ing the service were unable to con- vey without great delay the vehic- les requiring transportation,

"AND WHEREAS an inquiry was started last fall to provide anoth- er means of communication be- tween Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick.

"AND WHEREAS as a result of this inquiry plans have been pre- pared and are now available which show that a causeway could be con- structed from Cape Jourimain. New Brunswick to Borden, Prince Ed- ward Island. a distance of eight miles. at a figure that seems rea- sonable if suitable fill can be found,-

"BE IT THEREFORE RESOLV- ED that this House endorse the pro- posal for the building of a cause- way and request the Government of Canada to take steps to find out If there is fill available for such a causeway,

"BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Government of Canada be requested to commence the con- struction of a causeway between Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick at the earliest possible date following an inquiry which show that fill can be found near enough to the site to make the pro- posal economically sound.

AWAITING REACTION

Premier Matheson said he had purposely delayed the passing of the resolution to see what public reaction would be in regard to the Island - New Brunswick causeway. He said he was interested to read the opinions expressed recently in a series of public forum letters appearing in this paper.

"I know the writer Mr. Lodge who is an electrical engineer on the carferry," said the Premier. "He is a very competent man and I have treated his opinions with every respect. However. when it is suggested that a causeway would change the climatic conditions of the Island so that the Western end will have a low temperature while

INEFFICIENT SERVICE

As an instance of the inefficien- cy of the present service. the Pre- mier gave an account of a person- al experience lastsummer while travelling from Amherst to the Is- land. He said he arrived at the Tormentine Pier seven minutes before sailing time only to find the ferry rounding the end of the peir on its way to the Island.

He inquired what time the boat was supposed to leave and the re- ply he was given confirmed the fact that the boat had left seven minutes ahead of the scheduled leaving time. He was told the oth- er boat would be along in a few minutes.

The Premier explained that the

Two Provincial Set Aside In T

Prince Edward Island is to have two Provincial Parks at some time in the near future. This was revealed in a discussion which pre- ceded the passing of an Act Res- pecting Provincial Parks.

Premier Matheson who introduc- ed the bill said two persons have approached him with the idea of making a gift of some lands to the Province to be used as picnic grounds or the like. one of these men is prepared to make the gift immediately while the other will reserve the right to use the land while he is still living.

The Premier said he was not an- xious to add to the expense of the Government but if anybody wished to make a gift of land he had,no objection. The Act. he said was

g set up to administer such lands when they became the pro- perty of the Government. l

11.11. Bell asked the Premier whetber'one of the citizens referred to was Mr. Robert Cotton.

Mr. Matheson said Mr. Cotton was one of the donors.

Mr. Bell recalled that Mr. Cotton was instrumental in the establish- ment of the Cotton Memorial Nurs- ery. "He is a very public minded antlll worthwhile citizen," said Mr.

e .

WILD LIFE EXHIBIT

The Opposition Leader said such parks could contain an ex- hibit of island wild life similar to but on a much larger scale than that shown by the Fish and Game Association at the Charlottetown Exhibition.

In referring to the bird sanct- uary conducted by Mr. Harvey Moore of Commercial Cross. Mr. Bell said things like this are very interesting to tourists. "He deserv.

those living East of Borden will be enjoying temperatures several de-.' grees higher, I think this is at pretty far fetched story."
