Premier ileiums from Royal Fair

If Islanders would "point" for the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto there is no doubt they would carry off a far greater riumbe of the top trophies than they do at pm.- ent. The "opinion was expressed yesterday by Premier J. Walter Jones who had Just returned to the Province from attending the big annual event.

The Premier did not believe that the Island would do much in the way of winning prises in the horse and grain classes. but he expressed disappointment that the Province had not made a much better show- ing in the potato class. He also thought that breeders hqe could do much better in the cattle classes.

He thought Prince Edward Is- landers in general took the Royal winter Fair too much for grant- ed arfd did not make enough ef- fort to produce the top quality show animals demanded by such a fair.

In remarking on the recent crit- icism offered by Mr. H. W. Clay of the judging standards in Central Canada fairs. the Premier said that Mr. Clay "has been proving his remarks for years". As senior live- stock fieidman for the Dominion Department of Agriculture. Mr. Clay has been greatly instrument- al in improving the quality of hogs here to the extent where Island- bred swine are almost universally recognized as the producers of the best Wiltshire aides in North Am- erica. He said this week that show standards at Central Canada fairs should be changed due to the fact that judges were placing Island bred hogs far down the list in the breeding classes while awarding them most. of the top honors in the carcass classes.

The Island developed type of Yorkshire hogs are in wide demand as breeding stock in practically all parts of this continent where swine breeding is in vogue. In recent years many of them have been shipped from here to some of the most. famous breeding areas in both Canada and the United states.

No Island Cattle

Preinicr Jones said there were no Island cattle entered in the Royal and gave as his opinion the reason was that we are too far from the fair for local breeders to take part. He stated, that it was a costly business to ship cattle to the fair and said that he person- ally had not sent any. The Prem- ier is one of the better known Canadian breeders of Hoisteins.

During his stay in Toronto he was visited by his daughter, Mrs. Earl Siegrist. of London. Ontario.

The Premier said he liked to at- tend the Royal Winter bliair be- cause agriculturists from all over Canada were usually present and he had an opportunity to talk with them and keep in touch with the latest developments. He was invited to officially close the fair this year, but said he declined the honor because ”I had to get back to work".

Hiliaboro Bridge

He did .not.visit Ottawa on his holiday. but when asked for is comment on the recent decision of the Board of Transport Commis- sioners who upheld the Canadian National Railway in its, decision to abandon the operation of the line across the Hillsborough Bridge. he said he did not think the Province would appeal the decision. The Premier felt there would be little use in an allpeal.

with abandonment of the rail- way service between this city and Murray River via. the I-lillsborough Bridge. he thought there would no longer be any need for I railway bridge. when asked about the steel bridge which the Province purchiised.'he remarked that it might be sold profitably in View of the existing steel shortage. The bridge was one originally purch- ased by the Chinese Nationalist Government and never delivered to them. It was later acquired by the Province and the original inten- tion was to use it to cross the Hills- borough River with an extra span to be used crossing the North River. The Premier had no com- ment on what might be done if the Chinese bridge were sold.

clause protecting the freight rates

preference held by the Maritime

Provinces under the Maritime Freight Rates Act was written to-

day into the government's new railway bill by the special railway legislation committee of the Commons.

Transport Minister Chevrler said he did not think the amend- ment was necessary. He believed the legislation fully protected the Maritime-s. but he had agreed to the further. protective clause after hearing arguments by Maritime counse .

The amendment specifical- ly sets out that the lines de- signated as "eastern lines" under the Maritime Freight Rates Act. shall be exempt from freight rates equaliza- tion which may be imposed by the Board of Transport Com-

Salary Increase

Commissioners and from 010.01!) to 918.000 for the deputy assistant. onniniissioner. The legislation already provldesl for an increase from 315.000 to 310,444 for the chief commissioner. The committee did not deal with this amendment but will take it up when it meets again Friday.

the rate structure would have much effect on rates into ,Van- eouver.
