OUR NEWS BUDGET -or OUR SATURDAY SUBSCRIBER

MONDAY

The sudden death of Mr. Joseph H. Fisher early yesterday morning at. his resld . 20 Bishop :..t.reet. caused deep regret among a host of friends. as the news became gen- erally known throughout the city.

Although he had been receiving treatment recently for a slight heart. condition. Mr. Fisher was ap- parently in good health, and was making final preparations to at- tend early Mass with his wife, when becoming indisposed. he suggested to Mrs. Fisher that she go on alone. stating that he would attend a later Mass.

shortly after. Mr. Flsliei-'s Coll- ditlon became so grave that his aged mother. who resided with him. became alarmed and stunmoned assistance. Everything possible was done to ward off the dread attaci: of corollorary thrombosis which followed. but without success. alid Mr. Fisher passed away soon after- hard.

It was an easy matter. he thought. to interview Government ministers because they were all residents of the capital.

Mr. savllle reminded the House that in the City of Wasi"nEi0"- the Capital of the United States, the citizens had no vote at illi-

He noted that Premier Jones had made reference to new iii- clustrial developments and had stated that establishment of the special power line was Pill"-13' re- sponsible. This would not hold true in King's County, he said.

Mr. Savllle agreed with previous speakers that present day pupils were not good readers or writers and also was of the opinion Will- there were plenty of 800d W3Ch' ers in the second class grouP- HE said that there should be more emphasis placed in teaching on the three "R's".

A suggestion that some of the patrol boats watchliiz 107 9939” crs might be used in locating ii9iV lobster fishing grounds was ad-

vanced in the Legislature yes- terday by Mr. Hubert. Gaudef as the member from First

Prince made his maiden speech-

Mr. Gaudet. admitted that there had been poaching in his County but said that the fishermen were not. altogether to blame as they had to make a living and there was too small B territory, (OF We number of boats fishing. He briefly referred to 'ibundle" fish- ing as the setting out in one D1508 of 12 to 15 traps.

The speaker referred to a spec- ial method of marking lobsters on the flesh so that they might be traced despite the shedding of the shell. He told the members that after I. "rough" winter the fishing wgg never good as so many of the lobsters were tossed on the beach. He also reminded his lis- teners of the earlier days of fish- ing when a Mr. James Mclnnis once landed 128.000 Wiinds W count. and any lob er under nine inches had an extr one added to make up for the lightness of the first.

Mr. l-'ifth Queens, former Charlottetown. who rose Legislature to make his maiden speech yesterday suggested that since Dr. W. J. P. MacMillan had stated he had been invited to "cross the floor" he should do so as it "would be a novelty to have a member from Fifth Queen's in the Cabinet."

The speaker offered his com- pliments to Vic Runtz. cartoonist of The Guardian. for his portrayal of members attitudes in the Chamber.

Ili a brief general discussion of condliioiis he said the roads here were used about 25 times as much its any others and thought there should be greater help given the city for that reason. He remarked that malty speakers had referred to t'lc farmers of their district but he thought that some of the most important llirmers ill the Prov- incc were lll his district and ment- ioned that th:y supplied all the milk used in this area.

Special guests of the l.e;;lslzlturc' ycslertilly ullcrnuon were lcpre-l sentatiyes of the Federation (-fl Agriculture and of the Agricul-.' lural Council with Mr. Cliorlcsi Yeo, spcukinsz for the former and Mr. F. M. Nash presenting the brief for the Council.

The l.ei;lsIature nici in session at 2 pm. to receive the briefs und members listened to the very timely subjects introduced until llllc afternoon. Last night when the llouse held its first eve- ning session all speakers referred to the remarks of the agricultural men und offered congratulations on the interest shown in the wel- fare of the Island by those who prepared the briefs.

Premier .1. Walter Jones suggest- ed that the excellent ldeas ad- vanced could be presented to the people in perhaps I betlcr form.

Reitcralini: its stand that the three Marilinie Provinces should survey the whole problem of rural electrification and attempt a joint solution, the P. E. I. Federation of Agriculture laid particular em- phosis on this proposal, in its brief submitted to the Legislative Assembly at an informal hearing yesterday.

Other st1bjet'ts emphasized in the brlef were telephone services, land settlement, economic research und a policy with respect to market- ing and co-operative development, education. and electoral reform.

The brief was presented by Mr. Chilrles Yeo. president of the As- sociation. and discussed by sev- eral of the delegates and by mem- bers on both sides of the House.

"Our rural people generally," the brief states. "are not satisfied with the expansion policies or costs of electrical services in the rural parts of the Province. . . We can- not accept recent statements by some of our public officials to the effect that public ownership of carrier utilities cannot be as efficient as private ownership." It cites in this connection recent rate reductions by the Ontario Hydro Electric Power Commission and by the Saskatchewan Power Commission. -

FRIDAY

OTTAWA. March 27-(Special) -A speed-up of the project of a Federal Building in Charlottetown was sought here today by Premier J. Walter Jones and Mayor J. 1). Stewart who flew to Ottawa for discussion of Federal works in Charlottetown with Public Works Minister Alphonse Fournier.

Accompanying the Premier and

the Mayor to Mr. Fournicl-'s of- lice were J. Watson Mi:icNaught, Liberal member for Prince, Seli- ator J. P. Mclntyre and J. Angus Macl.ean. junior member for Queen's. Premier Jones said after the porley that Mr. Fournier had giv- en asurarlce that the Charlotte- town building would be proceeded with but could not state definite- ly when construction would start. A building of this kind, the Min- ister told the delegation. required considerable structural steel. and under-existing regulations, office buildings have a low priority for eel.

At. the opening of the ses- sion of the Legislature yes- terday afternoon Mr. Frank Myers, First Queens. said he

THURSDAY A real need for the truck mail service formerly operated from this city to Eastern parts of thel

Province was noted by Hon. Keir Clark. Thlrrt Kings, when he rose to take part in the debate on the; Drz1!l.Address in the Lvslslature yesterday. While he thought there may have been some defects in the truck mail service they could be overcome by having the trucks leave the city at 6 a. m. instead of 9 a. m. He also thought that it the Post Office Department had looltel more carefully into the matter and ironed out some of the difficulties there would have been no need for the "delegation" which went to 0;. wa.

The truck mail service had giv- en a real improvement especially in Montague and he could see no reason why the mails could not bel carried "on both trains and trucks. 10 give us the service we need."

The total debt of the Province as of February 29. 1952. was 319,301,. 150.10 according to an answer tabled in the Legislature yesterday by Hon. W. E. Darby, Provincial Treasurer. ill reply to a question asked by Mr. R.R. Bell.

At the same time Hon. Eugene Cullen. Minister of Industry and Natural Resources, in replying to another series of questions by Mr. Bell confirmed the report that the M. V. Eskimo had been sold by the Government.

Hon. A.W. Matheson. Minister of Health and Welfare. also tabled replies to questions asked by Mr Frank Myers dealing with pay- ments to personnel at Beach Grove Inn.

. TW1 . Flying It Came amphibian the. Aerial ice Patrol covered 810 miles: during a flight. of 6 hours and 151 minutes yesterday. Captain Char- les A. Shaw, observer of the plane stated that in general ice condi- tions appeared to be loosening up. During the flight I sealer which appeared to be in some difficulty in the heavy ice of! Cheticamp Is- land was noticed by members of the Patrol crew. A later report

had been surprised to learn that there was no floor price on hogs in the Maritime Pro-

vinces. He had obtained the information, he stated. from the manager of Canada Pack- crs.

His reason for asking the question was reading the re-

ply in the Commons of Agri- culture Minister Gardiner on the subject. Mr. Myers said that -farmers here felt they were being discriminated ug- aillst and he would like to see the Provincial Minister of Ag- riculture bring the matter to the attention of Mr. Gardiner at Ottawa.

A report that the floor price here would not come illto ef- fect. until December created an unfair condition for our farm- ers. he thought. and gave oth- er farmers in Canada an ad- vantage over local breeders.

through purchase each week.

There was no opposition tc the amendment as the private feeling of the member. was that the new measure would tend to decrease the consumption of alcoholic bev- erages through the knowledge of the consumer that he or she could miss obtaining their quota one week and still not lose it entirely.

Several members made brief com- ments on the measure. Mr. B. Earle MacDonald felt that there would be few people able to buy (our bot- tles of liquor at one time. He also thought if the people did as one speaker suggested and tried to save i: all up for Christmas. there would not be much sold at all.

in a move which rerportedly took even the Opposition by surprise the Government yesterday introduced I bill to increase the sesional in- d-emnity of the members of the Legislature by 5300 per session and also raised the expense allowance for travelling by 5200 per session. The increases mean that mem- bers will now receive 31,000 per session plus 3500 for expenses in- curred in their attendance at the session. ,

There was no indication of the move when the Legislature met yesterday afternoon. but shortly before 6 o'clock. the accustomed adjournment. hour. Hon. A. W. Malhcson. Acting Premier, rose and asked for mension of Rules 52 and 53 to permit giving first and second reading to the unend- ment to the Legislative Assembly-

Act. Just before introducing the amendment Mr. Matheson said

that His llonor Lieutenant Gov- ernor T. W. L. Prowse was ex- pected in the House today to re- celve the Address and there WCX'c some bills which it was necessary to have passed before the end of the fiscal year on March 31. For this reason he asked leave to have the rules suspended. It was un- animously agreed to.

During the Draft Address dcbate in the Legislature this week sev- eral suggestions for improving conditions in the primary indust- ries of the Province were advanced by members taking part.

Mr. W. A. Acorn. Sourls. thought the Department of Agriculture should look into the matter of bet- ter and fancier packaging of products grown on the farms here. lie thought that clean potatoes attractively packaged in cellophane would attract. the buy- ers and bring better prices to the producers. He mentioned that

of the filmctl Hereford sire Duo Heir. and mined by Fullon Sun- derson of North River was lid- jutlgecl grnnti champion of the F.-ll Stock Show which commenced at the lixhihilion Grounds ycstcrdzly morning.

More than 40 head of beef hell'- ers and steers were entered in the show, the first of its kind held in the Province and one which veteran livestock men inf- ctl very highly.

Professor l.. H. Hamilton of MacDonald College. c.x'pcl'icllced catllc ju(li;c who placed the uni- mals yestertilly, was high in his praise of both the grand chimin- ion ilnd the grand champion rc- servc steers. The reserve ch.'lnii)- inn wns owned by Carlyle Potts of Argyle Shore.

The Temperance Act was amend- ed in the Legislature yesterday when a bill was introduced which will permit the purchase from a vendor's store by the holder of an individual permit or a month's supply at any one time instead of

Nova Sootla had sent. two men to study the same idea alld in sup- port of his suggestion pointed out that lmlported tomatoes brought for higher prices in the local stores when they were put up in specially prepared one pound packages than when they arrived in bulk lots.

A suggestion that the Old Age Assistance Board should not have any members of the Government. in its personnel was advanced in the Legislature this week by Mr. John A. MacDonald, Third Kings. He felt the matter was so important that the Board should be taken out of politics by having only lnde. pendent men forming it.

In dealing with Island conditions Ill general be recommended that the Government give greater as- sistance than at present to the smaller hospitals of the Province. So far as his own district is con- cerned he stressed the need for roads in the communities of Union- vale and Lorne Valley and added
