.“Surprise Concert"

Presented ‘Al Zion Aud_il¢_irium

A highly amusing "surprise Con- cert" was presented in the Zion Auditorium before a large audience last evening by the Y.P.S.C.E. Under the direction of Mrs. Bar- bara M. Roper with Mr. Frank Johnson as accompanist, the vari- ous numbers followed each other in rapid succession.

The majority of the performers were on the stage for the first time and are to be congratulated on the manner in which they put their numbers across.

Entitled “The Old Village School",

the scene depicted a group of chil- dren in their classroom being tut- ored by a not too bright teacher. The students were -of all nation- alities. and the answers they gave to questions asked by the teacher were also not too bright, resulting in much amusement for the and- lence. _ Two very charming numbers were mesented by twelve little girls who appeared on the platform in identical costumes of white and pink. They song "The Glow Warm" and also went through a clever little drill to this music car- rying tiny flashlights which they flashed on and off representing the glow worms. Their other num- ber was the “Hop-scotch Polka‘ which they sang and danced with much enthusiasm.

The program was as follows:

Details or Mr.‘ Kicliham's Plan For Poiaio levy

OTTAWA, March '7 —— (Special) — Taking the same line as that voiced both privately and public- ly by P. E. 1. Premier J. Walter Jones earlier in the year. T. J. K. Klckharn, Liberal member for King's, said in the Throne Speech debate last night that he hoped for price support for potatoes this year, but depicted the grow- ing of potatoes as a speculative venture.

There was need of Federal sup- port of potato prices for this year only. Mr. Klckham said, to assist in "stabilizing a very depressed market". The persons growing potatoes on speculation. he said, spoil the chances of the bona-tide farmer making any profit on his operations and bring about dis- tress and disappointment. Estab- lishment of a support price on potatoes, he added, had a tend- ency to invite speculators to grow more potatoes than the foresee- able markets of Prince Edward Island could absorb.

To counteract speculative grow- ing of potatoes, the member for King's suggested a levy on pc- tato acreage. put into effect by all Canadian provinces. Lcvy proposed by Mr. Kickham was as follows: '

2. From 50 to 100 acres, $20 an acre.

3. From 35 to 50 acres, 315 an acre.

4. From 20 to 35 acre.

He would have the provinces exact no levy from farmers grow- ing under 20 acres of potatoes.

Effect of a levy of this kind, Mr. Klckham told the Commons. would bring about not only a

healthy market condition but would improve the soil by the form of crop rotation which

would result from life establish-. meni.

The Kings member pointed out that Federal grants to Prince Edward Island were small when measured by those made to oth- er Canadian provinces. He in- stanced the immense grants made the west under the Prairie Farm Assistance Act. and the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act. and such other suibvenilons as grants for slum clearance, grants to aid the gold-mining industry, and grants for the development od the oil industry. .

Mr. Kickham did not criticize the granting of these moneys to the western provinces but felt ihai something comparable rnig-ht be done for Prince Edward Island, particularly in the field of educa- tion. He noted that teachers of P. E. I. are the lowest paid of any province; that the male teacher in Prince Edward island receives $050 a year and the female $925. wbereas in Ontario for the same work. the salary is $l.580 for the male and $1.516 for the female.

What was needed for Prince Edward Island. he said. was money provided for education in order that boys and girls of the Prov- ince could be trained at home for iveli-paid jobs.

Mr. Kfckbam borrowed an ex- pression which created a furore here in Ottawa in the late ‘thirties when used by former Ontario Premier Mitchell Hepburn about the western provinces. The King‘: member said:

"Should the Maritlmes be sud- denly shorn off from Central Canada. I am sure that the per- pctuaily productive old ‘mllch now‘ would be missed."

He assured the House that Prince Edward Islanders had no inclinations towards new politi- cal pariics nor “isms" they prefer- red io rely on the "two pennan- ent and stable" political parties. Liberal and Conservative.

“i would say to the Minister of Resources that if he introduces draggers in Prince Edward Island waters, let him see to it that he gets captains who understand their business and know where to op- erate," cautioned Mr. Geome E. Savllle. Liberal Councillor for the Fifth District of King's. in speak- ing on the Draft Address in the Legislature yesterday.

“If we can operate three. four or half a dozen draggers out of the ports of this Province and by that means keep up a better sup- ply of fish and not interfere with the offshore fishermen," Mr. Sav- llle said, “we will be doing some- thing. Possibly we will also be making some work in these ports. “I understand that the draggcrs which will run this year will oper- ate out of Sourls. But there must be strict regulations prohibiting these men from coming in and destroying the gear of our offshore fishermen."
