Total Eclipse 0f Moon Last Evening

Citizens last evening had an ex. cellent opportunity to view a '-0m 6011958 of the moon between 10.11 and 10.47. The earth's shadow first began to show on the face of the moon at 6.40 and gradually covered the whole area. The total time of the eclipse was.flve hours and My, minutes.

Astronomers express unconcern when they talk about lunar eclip- ses. But they go into rapture: when voicing their interest 'in an- other kind nf eclipse-a total eclipse of the sun. Solar ecupses can help scientists gain new in- formation on such things as the exact distances between points on the earth and on the atmosphere of the sun which may have an effect on the weather and upon man's system of communication. A total eclipse of the sun will take place on June 30th and will be visible to many of the populated areas of the world.

A diversion from routine was ac- corded members of the Rotary Club following their regular weekly luncheon at the Charlottetown yes- terdsy presided over by Mr. Don Gass. .

More than 50 Rotarians took advantage of the opportunity to see the plant in operation and to a greater or lesser extent absorb a knowledge of the complicated mechanism.

The announcement was made that Rotary International will meet in Seattle. Wash, early in June

That there is a possibility of over-emphasis on beef cattle to the det.rlment of the dairy herds is seen by Mr. H. W. Clay, Senior Livestock Fieldman in the Federal Department of Agriculture here. He believes that Island lfarmers should and must pay more atten- tion to dairy cattle in the future. If this is not done Mr. Clay feels that within ten years there will be a serious shortage of milk and milk products. ; Commenting on the hog situa- tion he recalied that slightly over a year ago when preparing an an- nual review of marketing condi- tions he advised farmers not to dispose of their stock, particularly the breeding stock. However, the sharp drop in market prices caus- ed many breeders to lose faith in hogs and they got rid of most of their top grads sows and boars. Since then the market has risen steadily and today first quality hogs command a top spot in al- most all markets. At the same time there is also a steady de- mand from other areas for Island- type Yorkshires. A great many Is- land bred pigs have been shipped to Western Canada, Ontario; Que- beo and United States growing areas as the continued success of the local hogs in the Royal Winter llllair competition at Toronto have shown the quality produced here.

Greater noduction Needed

states. which militates against greater hog production is the feed problem. However, he pointed out that one acre of mixed grain would provide sufficient feed for three pigs and five acres with some fertilizer could easily provide for the normal farm pig population. It is estimated that an acre. with some concentrate, will provide ap- proximately 50 bushels of mixed grain. '

At present the hog population of the Island is below normal with a resultant increase in price to the point where buyers are offer- ing as high as 330 for 25-pound

gs.

This year there" has been no increase in the number of hogs in the Maritimes, but more important, possibly, Is the fact that there has been no increase in the breeding of sows in Prince Edward Island.

Regarding dairy products Mr. Clay pointed out that there is little, if any, competition from the Western part of Canada as the rangelands there make the produc- tion of beef instead of dairy cat- tle almost a necessity. However, in recent years there has been a distinct swing to the breeding of beef cattle here as the market price soared.

Recently, however, there has been a distinct change in the trend and while beef prices here have dropped noticeably the price of pork has risen. This has resulted

Mr. Clay believes that farmers are making a mistake in hog pro- duction as he thinks that there should be one sow to every farm. This, he maintains, would raise production i00 per cent in the Province. One of me things. he

More Lenlent

Mr. Knowles said the tax laws are more lenient for charitable donations than for medical ex- penses. Taxpayers could deduct the full amount of gifts to charity.

Medical expenses allowed as deductions did not cover all the costs facing a family at a time of illness.

Mr. Knowles referred to a sim- liar resolution sponsored by him- self in 1952 for government con- rideration of the removal of the floor on medical expenses deduc- tions, which was then four per- cent. The resolution had been sup- -ported by all parties, but in the budget which followed Mr. Abbott had "ignored the express wish of the House" in leaving the floor un- changed.

Mr. Benedickscn said the gov- ernment had accepted the resolu- tion only as one for consideration of the change. Mr. Abbott had con- sidercd it, but had decided there were more equitable ways of dis- tributing to taxpayers the 535,000,- 000 it would cost.

The floor was lowered, however, to three per cent in Mr. A.bbott's budget presented last year.

Good Reason

Solon Low. Social Credit leader.

said there is good reason for re- moval of the floor. .Referring to the Commcns' ac- ceptance of the similar resolution in 1952, he said that when the House unanimously approves a principle the government should do something about it.

J. M. Macdonnell (PC-Toronto Greenwood) quoted Fisheries Min- ister Sinclair, then parliamentary assistant to the Finance Minister. as saying in 1952 that Mr. Abbott regarded resolutions adopted by the House in the same light as re- presentations made by groups across the country.
