There is no doubt about it-Italy il.'iS struck its own creative vien. "iloriern Italian"-a shrewd galaxy of styles that can be met from a modest purse and which still lives up to Italy's tradition of crafts- imiishlp. ,

Generally the trend was to tail- ored and readily-wearable items within the reach of any woman who hivs store-made clothes.

Many fabrics came right out of tho iipholsterers. Chlntzes, cre- tonnes, glazed cottons, organdie curtains, checked linen tablecloths. rurtaln fringes and braid were clev- nrlv converted into garments.

The more than 600 fashion re- Iiill'ff'i'S and buyers from the world's rrrat. houses noted that lengths are mostly stabilized.

Government To Provide For Titre-e,AddiEial Draggers

Faith in the future of the fish- ing industry here is reflected in the decision of officals of the De- partment of Industry and Natural- Resources to place in the estimat- es an amount sufficient to build three more tiraggers. Announcement to this effect was made Saturday by Hon. linigeneicullen, Minister of the De- partment, who said that he would, ask for 5100.000 for this purpose-.i The draggers will likely be bullti in Nova scotia and will be the new style 60-foot boats which navel been found satisfactory for fishing in these waters. ,' At the present time cod fisher-L men along the east coast of Capef Breton are meeting with market-' ing difficulties due to a glut of fish on the United States market just now. This is being emphasiz- ed by importation of cod from various Scandinavian coun- tries. It is reported that theEurop- cans are able to sell at a price so low that Canadian fishermen can- not compete.

However, the glut on the market was foreseen by local authorities who report that there is no cod in storage here at present. All has been disposed of. It was reportedf

fans were selling at iii cents. But an official source here suggested that the men referred to were in- shore fishermen and not operators of draggers.

There is an expanding market for cod throughout the United States, but it frequently happens that too much fish is landed there for linmediate needs. Each year more fish is being sold there as the public increases its annual consumption. This is the primary market for Island-caught fish and conditions are carefully watched by authorities.

The new draggers are designed by Walter Mlaclnnls of the naval archiiecturali firm of Eldrlge and Macliinis, Boston, and incorporate

with the theft of a large quantity of cigarettes. They were taken' from the premises of J. C. Mont- gomery Ltd. last November. Therel were originally two other men held on the same charge, one was ac-. qultted and the Crown withdrew; the charge against the oilier.

Prior to the passing of seniemei by Mr. Justice George J. Tweedy in Supreme Court Saturday morn- ing Mr. Allison M. Gillis, counsel! for the prisoner, made a strong! plea for leniency. He told the Court that sometimes in the case of large families, the prisoner is,

LONDON. Jan. 25 -(AP)- Britain's grain trade will go back to private enterprise at the next havest in the biggest and boldest bonfire of government controls since the second World War.

It also is the most fundamental change Winston Churchill's Con- servative Government has made thus far in the socialist welfare state it inherited in October, 1951.

At one blow the government de- cision will hack down the present

complex farm supply program, and build up another on a new pattern.

Full Details Not Known

Full details of the new program are not yet knonw. But this much has been announced:

one day next fall, price controls, rationing and government bulk purchasing of grain will come to an end, and private traders will a- gain become responsible for feed-l lng Britain afteral4-yearinterval.' Government grain subsidies also' will end next April 1.

Ever since 1939 the British Gov- ernment has had the direct re- sponsibility of finding bread grains and animal feed.

The bread grains are one basic staple in the country's diet. The other, livestock feed, is converted into about one half of the animal proteins needed to keep Britons alive.

Much of British agriculture is a processing industry. not primary production. Thousands of farms operate by turning imported feed into eggs. poultry, pork and beef.

The grain trade is so big it etc-

Britain To Return Grain Trade To Private Control

ployer stated he had never had a better workman. Counsel stated he was now at a critical stage of life where severity could lead into bitterness. but also where leni- cllcy and mercy would show that the law is not only a means of re- venge but something which takes an interest in people personally. He called Mir. William J. Ford. who had employed Fall in his con- tracting business until his arrest. Mr. Ford spoke strongly of the good work the prisoner had done while with him and said he had completely trusted him with prop- erty. collecting money and paying bills. Mr. Gillis then stated that the prisoner was a hard working boy and it would be a shame to wreck his life at this point.

Judge's Comment

Grain is important in other ways It has colored this country's-cold war policy.

For Britain can find all the grain she needs from only two sources and taps both-the Soviet' Union and North America.

Russian Grain Important

short of dollars, Britain seeks as much course grain as she can from Russia. and in spats with the U. S. over trade with the Reds al- ways insists she must take no step that would upset Soviet grain de- liverics. The alternative might be starvaion or paying out so many dollars that a brutal new economic crisis would hit Britain.

Thus it is no administrative de- tail to return the grain trade to private enterprise. It is a state- ment. of faith that directly con- cerns the country's stomachs, prosperity and foreign policy. Conservatives generally m-aintain private traders can deliver the goods more cheaply and more ef- ficiently than the government has been doing since the war.

Immediate reaction was cautious but the new agricultural regime is hound to raise controversy.

In the long term, the govern- ment obviously hopes the end of agricultural rationing and the ,scrapping of controls will speed

in hLs remarks to the convicted man Judge Tweedy said at the outset, the court would he as fair and lenient as possible. He re- marked thal. the length of sent- ence to be imposed had given the Court great concern because of the prisoner's stage of life.

His Lordship said that some- where along life's way someone had fallen down on the job of looking after the prisoner. He did not know whether it was the home school, church, service clubs or other organizations, but it seemed strange that a boy of 13 in trouble could be left to his own devices with no one to take any interest and help him along. To him it was inconceivable that a child 01 13 could be convicted and later no one offered to help. "It is a. sad re- flection on society and its organ-

punishment was not meant as re- venge, but was given to reform. His well being and the interests of society had been considered In arriving at what the Court felt was a fair and just sentence. He told Fall he would be given a chance to study and work and ex-
