The industry had become in- creasingly centralized and mech- anized, but this did not result in any lowering of the price spread between the fishermen's returns and the consumers’ costs.
Retail prc-ies were higher here than in Toronto and this, said the union, was “evidence that the principle is to charge what the traffic will bear."
Earlier, the seven -- member commission, now winding up its B.C. hearings, was urged to rec- commend that at bill of rights, as proposed by Prime Minister Dief- enlbaker, include a proviso allo=w- ing farmers freedom to operate outside the jurisdiction of ‘com- upu-lsory farm marketing boards.
Farmer Geor-ge Wyndlow of Ladysmith, B.C., said that com- pulsory mar-keting of potatoes on ‘Vancouver Island had led to the concentration of p r o d u c t i o in

reductions
Iamong a few big producers.
Because the shape of some po- tatoes did not conform with the
market in g board’s standards,
“thousands of pounds of - good were thrown away each year. ‘
DEFENDS MARKET PLAN
However, farmer H. J. Bose, of’ Surrey, B.C., defended co- pulsory marketing, saying it was fully democratic and had led to in marketing costs. The lack of orderly marketing would have led many growers into bankruptcy. _'
In the fishermen’s brief, the union complained l-t was ham- pered in mwaking'”pric-e calcula- tions statistics’ figures were lessly inaiccu-rate.".

Little ' doubt was by Harvey Douglas (Liberal- 2nd Kings) that the Island would be able to afford Na- tional Hlealilh Insurance. He said, “that was the story when Old Age pensions were first suggested but. we are paying for them without any trouble."
The Department of Health in the Province was started by W. J. P. MacMil1an and had now become the largest spending department in . the Govermnent, in spite of _-the fact that it does not return any re- venue to the provincial treasury, he said.
He noed the advances that had been made in the control and cure of Tuberculosis stating that in 1932 the incidence of death from T.B. was 64 per 100,000 while today it is only 4.2 to 100,000.
TRAVELLING “EXPENSES
Speaking on the budget de- bate in the Legislature, Mr. Douglas expressed surprise that Opposition members would cri- ticize the Department of Agri- culture for spending too much money on travelling expenses (This had been one of the points raised by Leo F. Ross- iter (P.C. 2nd Kings)

WANT BOA’I‘ TOO
The report fully realizing the length of time it would take to complete such a survey and the fact that one of the boats pre- sently operating on this service is over 40 years old further urges that the Government put into service immediately another boat having the same carrying capa- city as M.V. Abegweit.
Passenger cars with children having long waits on the piers was another point raised in the transportation report. It was not- ed that frequently the boat leaves with a load of freight cars while automobiles are left on the pier until the next trip. ‘
It is recommended, the report say that all freight cars be left in times of heavy traffic and trans- ported on the next crossing which the ferry crews are only too will- ing to make.
WOOD ISLAND FERRY
Some relief in the traffic jam at Wood Islands is forseen in the putting into service this Spring of the new ferry. It would be of special value to the farmers of Kings and Queens Counties where large markets await their pro- ducts in Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island.
Suggestion that the M.V. Fergus on the Newfoundland run call at Summerside, Georgetown and Souris contained in the report. It would enable the farmers in these areas to share in “the lu- crative trade," it said.

It also recommends that the Gov- ernment press Ottawa for a con- tinuance of the 90 per cent agree- ment under which the last part of T.C.H. was built.
Further exploration of trade possibilities on the north shore of the St. Lawrence area through the period visits of trade personn- el was suggested and a motor vessel service to this area was recommended.
RAILWAY TRANSPORTATION
As your committee probed the various aspects of railway trans- portation, it became increasingly evident that the main function of the C.N.R. is not the passenger aspect of the service, but rather the movement out of the Province by freight of such items as po- tatoes, turnips, pulpwood and var- ious other farm products as well as the fishery products process- ed in the Province. Another as- pect is the movement to this Is- land of our heavy imports i.e. coal, flour and feeds, cements, and other items of this type.
In order to maintain this ser- vice at the standards necessary for present day and future re- quirements, y 0 u r committee urges that the Canadian National Railways maintain the overall ef- ficiency of their system at the maximum level at all times. Your committee notes the. moderniza- tion_ and developments of our two major airports.
AIR_ TRANSPORTATION
‘With one of Canada’s major air lines well founded in this Pro- vince. it is anticipated that the’ use of this type of transpontation will be used to a much greater extent in the years to come.

“The hospital is not just an- other building. It is a special type of construction designed to take- care of the sick 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. The wear and tear is therefore very great, much more than that of the ordinary office building or school. A hospital must be of sound, dur- able construction, fireproof, with the basic structure and general facilities good enough to pass the very high standards set by the Federal Government. Otherwise we will not receive from them

Mr. Douglas said he was happy to see that the Federal Government received a good working majority in the recent election and hoped that Canada could look -forward to prosper- ity for the years to come. ADVISORY MEMBER
He expressed pleasure that Mr. J. Lincoln Dewar had been appointed to the Ad4 visory Committee of the Stab- lization Board. He felt Mr. Dewar would be a great asset to the committee and suggested that he would be in a good pos- ition to present the needs of P. E. I. agriculture.
Mr. Douglas commended the Department of Highways for its road program and the ef- fort it is making in regard to snow removal. He said the number of plows in the pm- vince in 1951 was only 34 and today this has increased to 67.
Douglas said everyone was pleased with the rural electrification program. He was glad to see that the areas with 4 to a mile were being taken care of and hoped to see more areas served as time goes by.

the $4.000.00 grant per new patient bed.
“Some three years ago, when the need for hospital expansion became increasingly urgent, we looked for a capable architect specializing in hospital design. We finally decided to go back to the well-known Toronto firm — Govan, Ferguson, Lindsay, Kam- inker, Langley, Keenleyside, who have been building hospitals for the last thirty years at least in- cluding our own main building 25 years ago. Mr. Langley, a member of this firm,,hars been working on innumerable plans for us for a period of over two years with outstanding ability, courtesy and patience. We asked him to design a completely mod- ern new Wing, including kitch- ens, Obstetric Department, Op- erating Department and patients bed floor, together with boiler room and laundry in the base- ment. ‘ -
“This building was to meet Federal requirements as pre- viously noted, with up-to-date facilities for all-round efficient care for patients. These included comfortable, quiet rooms, finish on the floors and walls which would render cleaning and" anti- septic measures against bacteria easy, improved conditions for handling food, also the most mod- ern Operating D_epar-tment set- up. All of these requirements were to be met without unneces- sary expenditure. We believe that in his design of the new Wing, Mr. Langley has conscien- tiously’ tried to carry out his in- structions.
COST INCREASING
“The cost of hospital construc- tion has been increasing from mouth to month. It has definitely increased a great deal.si—nce we started our plans two or three years ago. The cost of our new four-storey addition is undoubted- ly very high, but it is our respon- sibility to build for the future as well as the present. The cost of our original proposed extension consisting of the basement laun- dry and power house, first floor kitchen and second floor opera- ting section was something over $700,000.00.’ However, when Hos- pital Insurance was announced a
year ago to be initiated in Prince,
Edward Island in 1959 or 1960, we had to change our plans and add two more stories to provide more patients beds in anticipation of the expected increase of patients following the inauguration of this plan.
“During such revising of the plans in this Fist year there was

a considerable increase in the unit cost of construction so that the new four-storey plan. is to cost something over $1,300,000. However, we could see no way in which to avoid this added res- ponsibility and in our opinion our Architect has designed a thor- oughly up-to-date hospital build- ing’ filling the requirements en- umera-ted.
“We are also confident that the course that we have taken will be vindicated in the near, as well as the distant, future. The building will take about eighteen months to complete. We some- times feel like the policemen in the Pirates of Penzance, “that the lot of a hospital Trustee is not always a happy one”. However, we ask for -the wholehearted sup- port of the citizens of Charlotte- town, Queens County aud other rural areas using our hospital, in this big but necessary ven-
ture. ”

Red Bopsters Told To Shave, Get Haircut
MOSCOW (AP)—-Russian bop- sters were told tod-ay to sham; off those crazy beards and get decent haircuts.
The youth pa-per Komsomol Pravda also lowered the boom on the Soviet version of the zoo! suit. At the same time it cracked the knuckles of Russian fashioi designers who dress up men in baggy pants.
The chi-nwhiskers, haircuts and zoot suits, are strictly from cap- italism, said the paper. As for the baggy pants, it said
\f‘Men are seen sweeping the sidewalks with their long, wide trousers, and they suffer in sum- mer because of the excessive cot- ton padding in the jackets.”
Getting back to the beards, the
paper figured the bopsters were
just too lazy to use hot water
and a razor. Besides, it asked
“What do future miners need
beards for?"
