Mr. Gardiner said that surplus butter deals the New Zealand Co-op made with Great Britain and Can- JHIIBII importers brought about a tonditlon ”where the fact that Canada guarantees a. floor price to Canadian farmers is utilized to sub- udlze either the New zealand pro- ducers or British consu-.mer." He again warned against tempering ultil the Canadian market. "the unly market Canadian dainmen have for butter."

He denied allegations that he or the Federal Government is respon- sible for the existence of bilateral --ontracts as rs means of supplying Britain with food.

"We were always against the plan as applied to Canada. and still at-e,'t-iut we carry on under it be- cause no other plan is available."

Seven witnesses called on be- half of the plaintiffs and the first witness for the defendant were heard by Justice George J. Tweedy and the civil jury yesterday as the case of Ernest and Mabel Mac- Kay versus Cecil Lester Roberts. by his guardian and parent Hub- flrt Roberts. entered its second

a.v.

Five thousand dollars damages are being sought by the plaintiffs whose oldest child. Sylvia Jean MacKay. was killed as a result of being struck by a truck on July 16th. 1940. 3

During the morning session Ger- ald R. Foster. who with R. E. Bell. K.C., is representing the defend- ant. asked that all denials of negligence and the alternative plea of contributory negligence be deleted from the statement of de- fence.

Ernest Ma.cKay. father of the deceased. was one of the witnesses to be heard in the afternoon. and corroborated his wife's testimony as to the capabilities of his de- ceased daughter. He stated he had arrived at the scene seine fifteen minutes after the accident. and his daughter was lying unconsc- ious by the side of the road. As he told of the condition in which he found her. the witness broke down and hnd difficulty answering questions.

He stated later his health had been affected by the incident and told of the treatment he had re- ceived as a result.

Under cross examination by R.R. Bell. K.C.. the witness said anoth- er of the witnesses. Frank Hughes. was employed by the same com- pany for whom he worked; the Maritime Electric.

in his testimony. Frank Hughes said he had seen Cecil Lester Rob- erts driving the truck previous to the day of the accident. This was contradictory to statements made by defence in which it was claim- ed the boy had never been known to drive the truck before.

Other witnesses who were called included three R.C.M.P. officers. Neil Robinson. a neighbour of the Robcrts'. and John Gallant of the Motor Vehicle Branch of the Pro- vincial Treasury. Gallant stated no driver's license had ever been is- sued to Cecil Lester Roberts. Cor- poral Warner iold of seeing the defendant at his ltome at 233 Richmond Street. Constable Smith had received the keys of the truck in question from the defendant. and Corporal Johnston ... duced a picture of the truck which was identified as the property of I-lu'b- ert Roberts.

In his address to the jury. G. R. Foster told them they must assess damages against Cecil Lester Rob- erts. and must determine whether he was driving the vehicle as a member of Hubert Rolberts' family and with his permission. He con- tlnued to state Cecil Lester Rob- erts had admitted his negligence caused the death of Sylvia Jean MaoKay. and told them it was their duty to decide what monetary loss had been suffered by the parents of the deceased.

First defence witness to be heard was Hubert Roberts. parent and guardian of the defendant. who stated he was a fisherman and also trucked fish. During the suumner months he resides.at his summer cottagmtwelvemlties from the City. and had been there at the time of the accident. The truck which had been involved had been in his yard at no Rich- mond when he left Charlottetown during the afternoon. He stated be next saw the tnick at his summer cottage at approximately 3 a. m. the next morning.

The case will. be resumed this morning at 10 o'clock.

Advance In Men's Shoe Prices Noted -

MONCTON. N. 13.. Jan. Z3 - (GP)- A sharp increase in the price of high-quality men's shoes was predicted today by managers of several large retail outlets. Prices at one store have already gone up by 82 since the first of the year. it was disclosed while another store expected that this springs prices would be about 30 per cent higher than last.

The in prices applied to women's oes too. though one store manager said tiha rise here was not as great.

Reason for the price advance given by retailers is higher manu- facture costs resulting from rising prices of raw materials. one inan- ager declared that hides were be- coming increasingly difficult to get and were consequently higher in price. He mentioned Mexico and other countries that were a source of hides in previous years but which now use much of their pro- motion to turn out their own shoes. ;

Two of the stores were bracing themselves for a shoe shortage. prophesied by one manager for this spring. It wan pointed out that recruiting for the armed forces. if stepped up appreciably. could result in a System of quotas for civilian consumption of shoes.

As for rubbers. one store said they were going "out of. sight." And nobody was gaining. the manager said. least of all the retailers. He said the profit here was so small that handling them meant merely "trading dollars."

Mrs. George Somers welcomed the delegates to Summerslde and Mrs. Milton Weeks of Fredericton made fitting reply. Minutes of the 1950 Presbyterial and a summary of executive minutes were read by Mrs. L. M. Callback. recording secretary.

A large number of delegates responded to the roll call. The question box was introduced by

QUEBEC. Jan. 23 -(CP) -The trans-Canada highway should be "built for the future" so that changes or improvements will not have to be made almost immedi- ately ailer it is finished. J. M. Wardio urged today in an address to the Canadian construction As- sociation.

Mr. Wardie. director of the En- gineering and Water Resources Branch, Department of Resources and Development. Ottawa. added:

"Highway standards keep im- proving. Are we going to build sections of this highway this year or next year that will be just right for 1956 (the year it is scheduled for completion) or even a little obsolete. or will we build to a standard that will be right in 1965. The latter is the objective that I think every Federal and Provincial authority must keep in mind."

So tar.Federa1-Provincial agree- ments in connection with trans- Canada Highway building have been made with eight Provinces (all except Nova scotia and Que- bec). One hundred contracts with a minimum total value of s2.2.coo.- 000 have been let. in these prov- inces. with Federal approval. for grading. gravelllng. paving and bridge work.

For the fiscal year beginning April 1 next. Mr. Wardle stated. provincial programs for new con- struction alone will involve ex-

"To what extent world condit- ions may affect this program. no one can say at this time."

Mr. wardic said that where the highway goes off the main- land the object is to connect ferry terminals. For instance, In Newfoundland. it will con- nect St. John's and Port Aux Basques, 610 miles; in Prince Edward Iainsd, the Wood Ia- land ferry terminal and Port Borden. 74 miles; on Van- couver Island. v.ictoria and Nanalmo. 73 miles.

He cxrplalncd the "sight-dish ance" specification for the high- way. It means that the driver of a vehicle should be able in see an object six indies high on the pave- mcnt 600 feet ahead when his eyes are four feet six inches above the pavement.

Paving will be 22 to 24 feet. and road shoulders 10 feet. except in solid-rock cuts or otherwise where the 10 feet is unnecessary or too costly.

He stated that with modern snow removal equipment. no route has been sugested or mentioned that could not be kept open over the winter months. The biggest difficulty in this would be drift-

ing snow in the Prairie Provinces.

PORT MORESBY. Jan. 23 - (OP) Governmciit authorities said tonight that 35 Europeans and moreithan 3.00:) Papuan natives probably died in the volcanic flames and convul- sion of New Cvui.nce's "Spirit" Mountain - possibly the greatest natural disaster in this part of the womld this century.

The mountain is Mount Leaning- ion. nearly 100 miles northeast of Port Moi-esiry. It continued to gush smoke and f.la.n-ie today after six nxrpioslons. from Thursday to sun- day. blew off its entire northern face and seared the jungle for 10 miles.

Few survivors were expected to be found in the area. The dearl were being buried where they were found.

Ashes drifted 10 feet deep in scone -parts. Houses were flattened or leaned drunkenly. Trees were torn up by their roots and stripped of leaves.

Despite ominous rumbles and continued belching of smoke and flame from cavernous holes in the mountainside. Government orfficials predicted after an air inspection that there would be no more malof eruptions for at least a week.

No hope held for the survival of 35 missing Europeans among the 68 missionaries, traders and offic- ials in the area.

Twenty villages abandoned and devastated - their inhabitants dead or in flight.

The entire area was closed to en- try by a:Government proclamation and authorities ordered about 12000 natives in the Awala area -- so far unaffected by the blast - to move to a safer location

Pilots who flew over the district. today reported an area 15 miles by eight covered -with a grin; sheet or dust and looking "utterly desola- ted." Whole villages huddled life- less under this arid shroud.

only on jungle trails were there signs of life. Natives who hnd fled in terror from the shattr.-ring ex- plosion Sunday crept through the steaming forests toward safety. some carried crude stretchers on which lay sufferers from burns and other injuries.
