(Increased Assistance Given In Construction Of Bait Freezing Plants

lleat Wave Abate: In Central Canada

(By The Canadian (Press)

The end of the week-long heat wave in Central Canada was in sight late Sunday,

Weather experts in Toronto and Montreal announced that the cooler all‘ which lay stagnant over Northern Ontario for five days while southern regions of Ontario and Quebec sweltered in temper- atures near the TOO-degree mark

had finally started moving south.,

The mercury reached a sizzling 100 degrees- in Toronto Saturday for the second time in a week. That was 11 degrees higher than the previous Aug. 2a record.

Death Early ' Toilay Oflilr. , W. J. Brown

A _pl‘0l’llll'i€!lb Charlottetown citizen in the person of Mr. W. J. Brown passed away early this morning. His death followed a 1on8 illness.

The late Mr. Brown was a man of vsJied interests in addition to his active business life. He was connected for years with the drug firm of Reddln Bros. Then he be came Provincial representative for the pharmaceutical firm oi Lyman! Ltd. '

His other interests were concen- trated prlncipally in two loves. the choir of St. Dunstanb Ba silica. and. the horse racing game. He was choir director a‘ St. Dunstan's for more than 3i; years, and was associated with inc choir for some 50 years. His cor.- nectlon with the horse racing game was equally long, and h.‘ aited as clerk of the course at tnt. Charlottetown Driving Park for a great many years. He continued ‘..o fill both positions with razc ability until compelled to (lla- ccntinue due to ill health.

His passing will be felt with rleep regret by a wide circle of friends.

He is survived byr his widow and one son, William. and by a sister. Mrs. Gilbert Gaudet. also of Char- lottetown. A daughter, Lillian. oied eight years ago, and a bro- ther, James predeceased him o, two years.

Funeral arrangements were not completed early this morning.

NEW ARTIFICIAL HAND

LONDON, England - (CP)— A new artificial hand. developed by a Londoner and a young Irish archi- tect. is said to have almost the appearance and dexterity of its human counterpart. Email rubber pads are set in finger-tips and pain, and a shoulder-bride con- trol enables the wearer to grasp an object with an almost inperceptible shrug.

New and more liberal regulat- ions for providing assistance in the construction of bait . freezing and storage facilities, have been announced by the Department of Fisheries. Mr. J. Watson Mac. Naught. M.P., parliamentary as- sistant to the Minister of Fisher- ies. informed The Guardian over the weekend. This announcement ivili be of great interest to those engaged in the fishing industry in this Province because the need for cold storage facilities to pro- vide fresh bait for cod fishing has become a matter of extreme zmportance. This summer. for a time. there was a serious short- age oi’ bait but this has now been overcome, to some extent. by the appearance of fall mackerel. Bu‘. one person interested in the in- dustry told The Guardian that fall mackerel are too nice a fish to be used for bait. Mackerel caught in the spring and kept. in

- a. frozen condition till the cod

fishing season opens ia the proper bait, he said. _ Regulations have been in force since 1930 to give assistance in the construction of cold storage facilities but they were so re- strictive that they were not taken advantage of and this has now been recognized by the Depart- ment; in passing this new order m council. entitled, “Regulations for providing assistance in the construction of bait. freezing and

Prof. Blanchard liireotor ill New Teachers Group

OTTAWA. Aug. 29 —(CP) ._ G r e ate r co-operation between French-speaking a I1 d English-

speakinz Canadians was urged by Ocncr Cote. Quebec's Provincial Secretary in an address Saturday before the thtce-day convention of the newly-formed Canadian As- sociation of French Language Teachers.

Dr. Louis Charbonneau of Ot- tawa was elected president of the Association and Dr. libnest C Dcsozmeaux was chosen honorary president.

Mr. Cote said part. of the blame for the slow progress of French- speaking minorities in other pazts of Canada should be borne by Que- bec. "we cannot expect co-oper- ntion if we do not offer it." he‘ stated

Also elected to the ‘exdoutive

Procedural Agreement

Expected

.MOSCOW. Aug. 20-.-Prospects are good for a procedural agree- ment this week at. the four-power talks in the Kremlin, it was learned on excellent authority to- day.

Bard technicalities now are re- ported holding up such an agree- ment.and these may be dispensed with in the next 24 hours.

Such‘ an. agreement. of course. should not. be taken to mean the four powers have settled all the questions they have discussed in- volving east-west diflerences. Tt would mean, however. that there was a good chance of b81665!!!"- over the next phase of the talks.

At Moscow

Cross-communication has been one of the difficulties in thetalks.

Frank Roberts. special British cnvoy. Walter Bedell Snlith. Un- ited States ambassador. and Trench ambassador Yves Ohataigneau have to refer various matters back to their capitals. Replies of the Western Governments than must be discussed and new report's filed. This time-consuming pro- cedure explains why the three have met with Foreign Minister Molotov six times and Pricne Min- lster Stalin twice since July Ii.

The fall of the French Govern- ment of Radical-Socialist Andre Marie was reported authoritative- lygtoday neither to have brought the talks to a standstill nor to have blocked the posaibil‘ of an agreement and a communique covering it. y

An authoritative source indicat- ed Rnberta. Smith, and Chatela- cesu might have another talk,

PARIS. Aug. ‘a0 - (Monday) _ (AP) Fomer premier Robert Schuman, a mElnber of the Mouvement Republlcain Populaire agreed early today to try to form a new French cabinet after So- cialist Paul Raznadier had failed.

Schuman was Foreign Minister in the cabinet Premier Andre Marie's coalition overninent which fell Saturday after- a term or one month.

Schuman said he would begin consultations with party leaders later today.

Ramadler, as was expected. went through the motions of trying to for-m a cabinet. He spent nine hours talking to political leaders of the various parties.

Then he adopted the usual pro- cedure or telling Agence France- Press of his giving up, rather than making an official an- nounccment to French and for- eign newspaper men. The official announcement was not mgr-lg 1m. til several minutes later.

Schuman's choice as ihg aeec-nd leader to try his hand was ex- Peclfid. However, his failure also was anticipated unless some now unforeseen new factor should en- ter the picture to heal the breach between the parties.

Many observers who are pre- dicting a Schuman failure grill felt the crisis would degenerate into an impasse which would re- sult ‘in a. dissolution of fihg Na- tional Assembly.

Explaining his failure, Ramad- ier said he had succeeded in win- ning full support from his own Socialist Party and the M.R..P. faction. He said he got only par- tial conditional approval from the Radical Socialists.
