Eggs And Poultry Made $1,750,000 Contribution To Island Farm Budget
The sale of poultry and eggs brought $1,750,000 to the producers in Prince Edward Island in 194D, stated Mr. F. M. Nash. District Manager Poultry Products, Tuesday in reporting on poultry services for the year at the meeting of the P. E1. Agricultural Council.
The 1940 production of farm eggs in PEI. was estimated at 4.005.150 dozens. at a. total value of $2,469,- 000. This estimate includes eggs and poultry consumed by the pm- ducers and their families in ad» ditlon to those which were mar- keted.
Approximately 1,700,000 lbs poultry were marketed.
The trend in poultry and egg production during the year was slightly upward, Mr. Nash sold. Despite the decrease in the amount of poultry shipped to the United States and the serious drop in egg prices in the latter part of Decem- ber, the cash lilC0me derived from these products remained at the same level as for 1940.
The producer averaged 45 cents a. dozen for Grade A largmduring the period of surplus production and 63 cents a. dozen for similar eggs during May when eggs were in short sulpply on the domestic market. Mr. Nash noted that the general quality of eggs marketed in the Province through registered egg graflrg stations during the year improved over that of 10-48.
Lower prices were received for live poultry. but a steady high

Probe Woman's Story Drowned Two Grandsons
MONTREAL, Jan. 18--(CP)— A diver vainly searched the icy wat- ers of tho St. Lawrence River in the City's East End today for the bodies of two children while u 50-year-old woman stuck to her story that she drowned her grand- sons rather than be separated from them,
Police said Mrs. Joseph Locus told them she pushed the two children into the river in their baby carriage last night bccuusc hcr daughter, mother of the small boys, intended to place them in a foster home.
Slle told police lhe children. John, 3, and Pierre-Paul, 1B months, were the illegitimate sons nf her 22-year-old daughter, Made- lelne.
Meanwhile, the daughter, advised by Rev, Peirre Trudcl, a Roman Catholic priest, of her mother's story, expressed disbelief that the children were dead.
"I can't believe it." she told the priest. "I just can't believe my mo- ther would do a thing like that. She must have hidden ihcm some- ivhere."
Police said that in view of the grandmother's story they had no recourse but lo investigate it ful-
ly.
After fighting cold and strong current a diver finally reached the bottom of the river nl the end of Pier IX Boulevard laie this after- noon but. he could find no sign of the children or the carriage. He said he would go down again to- morrow.
Both ille grandmother and her daughter remained at dfilefillllfi headquarters while file investiga- tion went on.

I Doped Bandit Gets $1,000
TORONTO, Jan. l8 — (OP) - With police hot in pursuit. a ban- dit who appeared doped vanished into a wooded ravine after fleeing with $1,000 from a branch of the Canadian Bani: of Commerce in suburban East York today.
Only two employees were in the bank when the lone gunman en- tered and shoved n blank cheque through the tclier’s cage, On the reverse side was written: "This is a holdup."
"I thought it was a joke," said teller Georgina Black, who alter- ed her op'lnlon only after looking up into the muzzle of a black Ger- man pistol.
She said she followed the man's instructions and put the money into a small white linen bag he brought with him. Then both she and accountant W. R. Church were told to get into‘ the vault as the bandit backed out of the bank, fleeing in a car.
The accountant described the robber as a thin-looking man with his cheeks artificially filled out as though stuffed with cotton batting. Hi5 right cheek was scarred.
“He looked doped up to me," said Church who gave chase for about two miles. He said he was gaining ground when the robber turned up a side road, abandoned his car and fled into the ravine.
Police later reported they had him trapped in a. bush in the area.

New Detector May Take Uranium Search Into Air
By MEL SUFRIN
OTTAWA, Jan. l8 —- (CP) The widespread search for uran- ium may take to the air shortly with the aid of a super-sensitive detector for radio-active minerals developed in Canada.
Satisfactory progress in dc- velopmeat of an airborne detec- tor waa reported today by W. J. Bennett, president of the Gov- ernmeni-owncd Eldorado Mining and Refining Limited, mentors of the project.
The veil of secrecy covering the experiments on the device -— based on the same principle as the Geiger counter -- was lifted enough to indicate that "satisfac- tory results" were oblained last summer from test flights over thousands of miles in the Cana- dian north.
George Shaw, chief of the Geophysical Division of the Geo- logical Survey of Canada, direct- ing the program, said further de- velopment is planned and wide use is anticipated.
One of the world's lead-lug sources of uranium - basic pro-
adian potato shipments.
~-- duct of atomic research — Cen- ada ‘has been widely combed for new sources of radio-active min- erals since laws prohibiting pri- valc prospecting were lifted sev- eral years ago.
Although figures on finds are on lhe sccrct list, it is known that lhcre is no let-up in sight in the hunt for uranium; and that some promising strikes have been made, particularly in Northern Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories, _
Although ground investigation will always be necessary in pros- pecting for radio-active minerals. iho new detector will eliminate ihc nccd for a yarospcclor covcr- lng vast territories in a fruitless search for uranium.
