Rev. J. F. MacKn,v. 0rwell- Ver- non. referred in his Evnngclism and social Service Committee report. to the illegal use of 'bingo' by the Islanders Hockey Club as a means of raising funds. He said corres- pondence has been entered into with the Attorney General of the Province concerning the mattcr and it was recommended that the committee continue to keep this matter before the Attorney Gen- eral.

Oppose Gambling

Mrs. J, Gordon MacDonald ask- ed the Presbytery to go on record as being opposed in principle to All forms of gambling. This was heartily agreed to. The secretary of the Presbytery was authorized to express the findings in corres- pondence with the Prime Minister

of Canada and the Minister of Justice. "I have been in the ministry

long enough to believe that the raising of money is a state of mind". said Rev. A. F. MacLean as he reported on the Pine Hill building fund. "Giving is not a logical thing at all, but a psycho- logical thing", he added.

On the recommendation of I special committee the name of Rev. W. B. Crowe. now of New Ab- erdeen, N. S, was put forward for essistont secretary of the confer- ence.

A proposal for a special evan- gelistic effort in the Malpeque United Church. with the help of surrounding congregations. was advanced by Rev. A. S, Weir, chair- man of the Boundaries Committee.

comp Fund: Needed

Rev. Howard uirislie. chairman of the above committee. hetrtily endorsed Mrs. McoDonI.ld's re- marks Ind added an appeal to the young people to help meet the indcbtcdncn of the Augustine Cove

camp.

That (1 on objective of 041,700 the sum of 338.7(1) had already been Ient away was the pleasant new: contained in the report of Rev. J. F. Mnclfny. ohalrmnn of the Missionary and Maintenance committee.

No Diffic-IIE In Selling Potato Stocks Anticipated

i No difficulty in disposing of the

balance of the tablestock potato crop is anticipated by Mr. Donald A. MacDonald, chairman of the Potato Marketing Board. despite the filling of the quota to the United States and the subsequent higher duty to be paid in future.

Mr. MacDonald stated that ap- proximately two-thirds of the crop has already been sold and he be- lieves that the balance can be dis- posed of in Canada at a price about the same as shippers have been receiving in the United States. The new duty rate of 75 cents per hundredweightt makes selling in the United States an uniproilable proposition. he feels.

No information was available as to a request from the United States Department of Agriculture and customs officials regarding the shipping of seed potatoes ataprice level lower than producers here were receiving. However. it is be- lieved to be based on the fact that some potatoes sold by producers here to the Marketing Board have been resold by that agency to shippers at a price lower than the Board paid for them.

The effect of this is to permit the lisrge consigtnors to ship the potatoes at 9. price level which is lower than the guaranteed price to the Island producers.

It is also believed that such a request from United States auth- orities would have to go through normal diplomatic channels with Ottawa. taking the initiative in notifying shippers.

May Revise i Bus legisitiliion

'QUEBEC. (CP)-Premier Mau- rice Duplessis said in the legisla- tive assembly Tuesday that the government is looking into the pos- sibility of regulating the number and location of doors on large atitobuscs.

Mr. Duplessis made the state- ment after Dave Rochon (L-Mon- treal St. Louis) said on a question of privilege that the legislature "will never enact too severe laws" against drivers who speed on high- ways.

Mr. Rochoii opened his remarks by deploring the autobus-truck collision at Yamachlche Saturday in which 15 persons were killed. The goveivnmenvt leader said an investigation was under way and no conclusions could be drawn at this time

"It would seem evident. however, that he will have to do something about large vehicles carrying large amounts of gasoline." said the premier.

Mr. Duplcs.-is said that in the Yamachiche tragedy it appeared both doors of the Provincial Trans- port bus were virtually useless in view of the passenger congestion.

He said also that legislation providing for a 45-mile speed limit for autobuses and heavy trucks has been passed by the
