months-perhaps even this winter -was seen today as distinctly pos~ sible in the wake of the first pub- liC break in the dairy industry’; objections to s. butter substitute.

However, the first hurdle is the late-autumn study by the Supreme Court of whether the Federal ban against margarine is cmistltution. ally legal. The Government asked for the ruling and may not wish to take any action before it comes down. ' '

There were two reactions in Government circles to the suggest- ion by the Dairy Council of Can- ada that, if importation or ration. ing are not capable of solving a heavy butter shortage this winter, a "suitable substitute product" should be sold until sufficient but- ter is available.

One was that such a temporary sale of margarine was unworkable from the manufacturers’ point of view. The other was. that this might be the thin edge of a wedge that would dispel Cabinet tlmidity and bring margarine in on a per- manent basis.

Opposition of the dairy interests has long been. considered the bul- wazk of tihe Government's refusal to remove the ban against impor- tation. sale and manufacture of margarine even during severe but- ter shortages. ‘ ‘

The next move in an issue that has harassed and rumpled nation- al life since the war rests with the Supreme Court. lts hearing will probably jibe with the first approaches of a butler shortage that could quite easily. in the opinion of experts, considerably exceed that of last winter.

Other Developments

OTTAWA, A118. 11—(OP)—'I'he Canadian Teachers Federation to- day turned a hopeful eye on pol- itical conventions as it initiated a drive aimed at getting financial aid for education from the Fed- eral Government.

Dr. C. N. Crutchfield of Shaw- lnlgan Falls, Que.. told the C.T.F. conference that Federal assist- ance for education should be one of the planks "put into these new party platform now being form- ed."

Earlier. delegates approved a motion that the Federationbbcard of directors become a standing committee "to initiate and integ- rate" a campaign seeking to ach- ieve such aid.

C. J. Oats of Vancouver, C.T.1l‘. vice-president, said education in Canada cannot be adequate as long as the "very great" bulk of national revenue is not made av- ailable for education, Education was not equipped to compete with the more substantial requests from other public services.

Asked for comment on the Un- ited States picture, Dr. Willard Givens of Washington. executive Secretary of the u. s. National Education Association, said in his country the evidence is "very clear" that there are many states m" 0511005 Provide reasonable education for their children.

Fertilizer Prices Probe is Continued

By William Wilson

OTTAWA. Aug. 1i —(CP)—-Nortih American Cyanarnld Ltd., sold ap- proximately $5,700,000 worth of armirnonium nitrate last year from a former Government-owned plant which it bought in 1046 for about the same sum, the Prices Commis- sion learned today.

"Look at what you're going to do in 1948 if you produce 100,000 tons!" H.A. Dyde, K.C., commis- sion counsel, said to officers o.‘ the company.

The firm’; price for ammonium nitrate has risen to 5'70 a ton. de- livered to the customer. after sell- ing in 1947 at various prices which company officials said averaged e return at the plant of about $57 a ton. Last year's output was slight- ly less than 100.000 tons.

The plant. at. Pozt Robinson, Ont. was built during the war for the Goverrment and run on a man. agement-fee basis by a company associated with the United Stat- es parent company of North Amer- ican Cyanamid. At the ciid of the war it was sold to North American for $4,750,000 plus about $1.000.- 000 for the value of stocks on hand. company officials said.

The firm was represented by a group of officers led by John 'I‘cr- race of Toronto. vice-president. Thero- was not-hing in the records they presented in the cmimissloii to show the finrn‘s actual profit from the Port Robinson plant. North American is the only pro. ducer of calcium cyanamid in the western llflTilspllelt‘. But the coni- pany officials said, in reply to questions about competition, that they met it from other nitrogen- containing products, including Chilean nitrates and other produc- ers of ammonium nitrate.

Earlier, the commission question- ed two officials of Agricultural Chemicals Ltd., on the reasons for_ the similarity of prices charged by their firm and by Canadian In- dustries Ltd. for the same fort.- ilizers. In the end the commission decided to recall them later after giving thcm a chance - to get ad. ditional information.

Rain Fails ‘To Dampen Exhibition Enthusiasm

Read by Eve Covers Prince Edward Island Like the Devi CHARIDTTETOWN. CANADA. THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 194s

Despite e heavy downpour of i": in which at one time threaten- ed to cause a stponement ti’ the afternoon's racing and live stock judging, the crowd which poured into the Exhibition Grounds yesterday was much lat; er than that of the opening day Every scat in the grandstand and the bleachers was filled and the overflow occupied every vantage point on the grounds from whLh the races and vaudeville attrac- tions might be seen.

About 12.30 the skies became overcast and for the next two hours and a half rain fell inter- niittently. But with the breaking out of the sun about 3 ociock the dark clouds quickly disap- peared and the vast crowds which had taken shelter. soon had every vantage point once more oc- cupied. ' i

Owing to the long delay in ut- ting the races started because of the rain-the first heat did not get away until after 4 o'clock- tiie thousands of spectators wc;e treated to a more lengthy vaude- ville performance than they other- wise would have had the privilege cf witnessing during the after- roon. '

With the threat of rain ais- pelled, the evening's racing and vaudeville saw a crowd at least as large as that which had filled every- available seat in the after- noon. ~ '
