Will Launch Second ' Mass X-llay Survey y

A second mass X-Rsy survey o! oharlottetown will be launched on March 8th. and the objective is to niuke an X-Ray examination o! every man ‘and woman in the riiv, Mr. Earl Taylor. President of m.‘ Prince Edward Island hiber- Ciiiosis League announced on Mon- dai‘ The need of this second survey was strikingly demonstrat- m- by the second Summereide sur- rev, which showed B new cases of ‘liibercuiosis among pruons‘ who 1.11.1 h=en examined two years be- fore. This was a timely discovery because three of these new pati- enis had the disease in an ex- ireniell’ early stove. and none o! mem were h: edfilfl.

m. Taylor wishes to express his snprcCililfill to the business firins

‘of the city who promised to pay

for their employees X-rays, and urges everybody who works down- lown to co-operate in this health drive by being X-reyed at the earliest possible moment. After, the survey of the business sec- tion is concluded the residential secficfls will be canvassed by mail,

The TB League is fortunate in securing use of the Whelan Mem- orial Hall on Grafton Street for their working centre. This hall is centrally located at 1'15 Grafton Street. within easy reach of all parts of Charlottetown.

NIW REGULATION! - New Met-h were put into tbe Act for the prevention and suppression o! l1"! by regulations promulgated last week by the lieutenant-Gov. ernor Ln Council. They call for the removal. if necessary, of any building considered a fire hazard by the Fire Marshal, who may also order any necessary structural repairs or alterations for protec- tion of life and property. Primar- ily aimed st buildings where pub- lic maetinn are held or places of entertainment where large crowds gather, the regulations make con- IToIai-lons. corporate bodies. trus- tees or persons owning or holding a church. schoolhouse. hell. severally . , ibla for complying with orders issued by the fire marshal and subject to such penalties as are set out in the Act. The regula- tions require the removal of com- bustible or explosive materials. the Installation of safety measures such as fire extinguishers and exit doors or fire escapes of approved types, The Fire Marshal is also given the right to set s quota on the num- ber of people who may be permit- ted in any gathering place pending completion of safety changes sug- gested by him or the building may be ordered closed until the altera- tions have been completed to his satisfaction.

During the day aboard the ship. the transportation aspects were care-fully discussed and Mr. John- son was greatly delighted with the number of carloeds of potatoes that had been ferried to the Mainland. He stated that the crop last autumn was very much later than the crop a year ago. and yet to- day the number of cars that have been shipped is in excess of what they ever have been before. Superintendent Montgomery and Captain Maguire are very happy men. Edwards and Johnson said that they would have to find a suitable name for that splendid comblnoticn which is built so solidly upon a foundation of mutual respect for each other and superb co-operation.

Contrary views respootlll: the ad- visability of constructing o power. ,liife to link up the Charlottetown end Summarside electric light plants were expressed lest night by Premier J. Walter Jones and Ab. V. A. Ainsworth. superintend. ant of the Maritime Elects-b, 00m. P5117.

Prernler Jones said there was o strong probability that the Char- lottetown and Summerside elec- tric plants would be compelled to link up in order to take care o1 some emergency such as the temp- orary breaking down of one of the plants.

Mr. Alnaworth stated that neiih. er the Maritime Electric Company nor the Bummerside electric plant had any surplus power to dis-‘ pose of. The linking-up of il-ie plants by means of one big power- line would, therefore, merely con- stitute a waste of money. More- over. w. Ainsworth said. the construction of such a powerllne would presuppose the ment of someone to direct when. where. and how much power should be transmitted by a par- ticular plant.

hi. Ainsworth sald the invest- ing of such authority in the hands of one person would not be pos- sible as long as each plant main- tains its individuality and inde- pendence but would only be prac- ticable should the plants become amalgamated. He did not believe the time nor the circumstances were propitious for such a union.

"It is our hope that the movie

ution of the Canadian exchange problem, not by contraction of business in Canada, but by the development of production in Gan- ada and the use of the American and international network cf dia- trlbuiion outlets of the chief U3. companies. An important by-pro- duct, of course. would be the pub- licity and resulting tourist busin- ess stimulated by a. develoinnent of this nature."

Motor Car Restrictions Of restrictions on motor cars

and parts, Mi‘. Howe said the Gov- ernment hall proceeded on the

"general belief” that some sub- stantial saving o; cxchaii could be made "without inflicting omuge

on the industry itself" in Canada. ‘A formula had been developed “which will enable automobile manufacturers to continue at sub- stantial levels and still provide some relief by minimizing the net drain of U-S, dollars." It would not rcquire any marked drop In production and iii cars and light trucks there mlglli. be an increase.

It was estimated the restrictions would slash U.S. ‘intoris by ba- twccii $70,000,000 and $75,000,000. About $53,000,000 of this would be saved on complete vehicles. Many parts formerly imported would be obtained in Canada. . In effect, the formula “reduces imports of finished cars to token amounts in 1948 but will permit the'c0niinucd operation of auto Production and service industries at substantially 1947 levels." In addition, an exchange incentive to increase production and exports more than 90 per cent would mean roughly that for every additional car sold for export two additional cars could be made, ' . Mr. J-lowc, referring to the gen- eral prlnciple of capital import re- strictions, said the Government aimed to encourage industries. au- iivlties and practices which will earn oi‘ save U.S. dollars, using Canadian resources cs far as poa- sible, and insisting that new in- dustries be economically sound once the temporary protection ls wlthdrn-wn. Any flnn would be lll- advised to use these emergency imcasurcs as long-range protection and the government "nuld take steps to curb any sllrli activity. Mr. Howe pointed Io "disturbing inflationary possibilities" lurking in a proposed capital investment of 82.800.000.000 this year and said "some postponement of the less essential expenditures in this pro- gram would be fsr fan harmful." In fact. he added, “our over-all investment picture would be such that some deferment of expendit- ues would in any case be econom- ically desirable and sound" regard- less c1 the dollar shortage. Mr- Howe said lllt year's imports of auto rts from the us. totalled 0106.000, and Fmpcrta of com- pleted vehicles 8564300000, ' Under the fonmuia announced last week, imports or completed cars will be cut by 856000.000 a year. while imports of non-essen- tial parts and gadgets will be cut by scme 016,000,000 or 020,000,000. He said the formuLa which places imports on a quota basil. also provides an incentive for ex- pansion cl the automobile manu- ‘ ‘ ' _ industry in Canada. For every car manufactured in’ Canada for export the trade will be given permits for the construction of two additional cars for the Canad- ian market. ‘
