ted the case of the milk producers and. vendors to the City Council. He outlined some of the problems of the producers. Rather than formulate a scheme under the Natural Products Marketing Act, the committee would much rather make some arrange- ment with the City Council in re- gard to the delivery of milk and the

' inspection pf premises. A Milk 0on-

trol Board was suggested.

It was pointed out by the City Council that they have no authority to fix prices, nor can they appoint any members of a Control Board that would have as its object the fix- ing of price. ‘

It was claimed that unlnspectod milk is being distributed in the City. The alleged practice of certain store keepers of buying milkst a loWTate, which is possible because they take a quantity, and then retailing it at a. low price as a sales leader was also cussed.

The committee suggested that if no arrangements could be made with the city Council that. they would have to proceed along some other line in an endeavour to arrive at a solution of the problem confronting the milk producers and vendors.

The City Council is to give the matter its fullest consideration. l-lis Worship, Mayor Kennedy, presided at last night's meeting.

SPEAKS ON AIR. FORCE DEVELOPMENT

(CI. By Guardian's Special Wire)

HALIFAX, Dec. 20 -- Squadron Rider H. Edwards of the Halifax department of the Royal Canadian Air Force, spoke on the develop. ment of the sir force and its assist- snct to the unemployment relief camps. at the annual meeting of the Halifax branch, engineering in- stituio of Canada, tonight. Harold Follows presided.

Three steel hawsers, lashed to the Severance by the cutter in an attempt to get her under tow snap-

as the rudderless craft wai- lowed in 40-foot waves that at times hid hm from view.

Finally the Severance decided to try for port with her own engines, and the Champlain was aooom- panying her. Licut. Commander Robert. C. Baratte, commanding the cutter, reported another attempt would be made to tow the freighter at daybreak.

The Severance and the cutter Champlain tonight were aproxlm- stely 63 miles from New Yuri: Har-

bor. .

Another ship, the" sea-going tug H. M. Moran set out to meet them on orders from underwriters of the Severance.

Coast guaxdsmen believed the 4M8 ton freighter was in no im- mediate danger of foundering.

Liners Delayed

At least eight queens of the ship lanes, bound for United States shores with tons of Cbirstmas mall from other lands, were deia/yed from one to four days by the recurring storms, which already have wrecked two freighters on the North Atlan- tic and claimed the lives cf 17 sea- men.

Pounding the Nova 8cotia sea- board, great breakers swept vessels from their moorings and tore wharves apart. Storm flags flew from Ealtport, we, ‘to Delaware breakwater.

European shipping also suffered. The Dutch steamer Orania went down in Portuguese waters in a col- lision with the Portuguese freighter Loanda, but her 120 passengers were saved. One seamen was swept overboard from the Orient liner Or- fcrd in the Bay of Biscay when the ship heeled sharply in a furious blow, her cabins flooded.

The Olmarder Ascnnla, which took ofl survivors of the wrecked British freighter Usworth after n. tragic rescue aiicmnl that cost l7 lives, will dock here tcmorrow, three days late.

Two Days Lalo Another rescue ship, the Fturopn

of the North German Lirryd line. will be two days late in dorkini:
