The origin of the fire is unknown and it occurred when the care- takc was home to supper. The Kcnsington Fire Departmgnt ar- rived on the scene and did good work fn saving the building but not before considerable damage was dons to the interior. The structure has tile walls with a wooden iloor. There was s. quantity of packing boxes in the building and the fire seemed to center in these.

Mr. Pendieton has been ill at his home for the past week. It is understood that the building is partly covered by insurance but there was no coverage on the equipmcut.-S.

Federal Cov't Will ASSiSI N. B. Anti N. S.

OTTAWA. May 16 — (GP) — Some 90.000 acres of Maritime wasteland likely will be reclaimed in a three-way Government scheme to assist east coast farm-

ers.

First indications of tho Gov- ernment's ln‘91\tl0118 was given in a notice to the Commons Satur- day that a bill will be brought in to assist the Maritime-s in re- clamation and development of nlarshlands. The notice was given‘ in the nrrne of Agriculture Minis- ter Gardiner. An offlcal tonight said the reclamation scheme is to benefit mostly farmers whose lands border along tlhe Bay of Fundy in both New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

It would consist of Nbufldlng and repairing dykes erected dur- ing the last 100 years and allowed to fall into disrepair about the time of the First World War.

The notice in the Commons said that all three Provinces would be assisted by tho "construction and reconstruction of works and the purchase of macihlnery and equip- ment," but it was learned tonight that probably only New Bruns- wick ltnd Nova Bcotia would be affected.

Earlier, an official of the Agri- culture Department said the prol- grurn would not g0 into effect un- til next year.

Tighten Foreign Exchange Control

OTTAWA. May 16—(CP]-- The amount of money which Canadians can send to the Un- itcd States without a permit has been reduced from 815 to J10. the Finance Department announced Saturday.

At the same time, the amount of U. S. funds which mer- chants, hotel-keepers and oth- ers ordinarily serving tourists may keep on hand without special authorisation from the

Foreign Exchange Control Board was reduecd from $500 to $250. '

Doctors, ‘lawyers, and other professional people, in future must "ordinarily" obtain pay- ment in U. S. dollars for aer- vicea they render to residents of the U. S. dollar area.

This rule does not apply to professional services to tourists, which may still be paid for in Canadian funds.

'1‘ e changes were put into effect by amendment to the Foreign Exchange Control reg- ulations. The 8Z5 remittance

rate was act last October.

Sees Continued Success For P. E. I. Tourist Trade

OTTAWA. May 16 —- (Special) - Investment in new accommodat- lon for summer visitors to Prince Edward Inland is "as sound and probably sounder than a sirrlllar investment anywhere irl Canada.” D. Leo Dolarl, director of the Canadian Travel Bureau told The

' Guardian this week-end.

Mr. Lolan who recently has spent some tflme in eastern Canada. and the United‘ States said he had not the slightest doubt but that all properly-built arid managed new accommodation which might be built in Prince Edward Island would be_ fully occupied "season after season." Existing accomm- dation he felt sure would be filled to capacity this year.

“We can only judge the flow of tourist traffic frcsn enquiries which come to the Bureau and from figures which we receive from the very well-managed tourist bureau or ‘Prince Edward Islamd." Mr. Dolan said. “I would be the lest to make invidious comparisons of any kind, but I don't think I've heard of s. Canadian or an Ameri- can coming beck disappointed from a. holiday in the ~ Island

Province.

Beet Customers

“No one knows better than those who cater to tlhe travelling public that the best customer i; the enc- who comes back again year after year. I know scores of people who after their first vacation in Prince Edward Island said they didn't need to look for any other 81111171191’ playground: it has a beauty and restful quality very hard to equal anywhere." .

Not orily does he expect ‘that more Canadians than ever will try to arrange their 1948 summer holidays in Prince Edward Island but as many and perhaps more Americans as well.

Mr. Dolan admitted that s. “difficult situation" had been created temporarily when operators of certain tourist resorts in the Eastern States attempted to persuade Americans to boycott Canadian summer resorts. ‘They were resentful of the currerncy restrictions which preclude Cana- dlfflls from visiting many resorts on the Atlantic which for two or more generations catered to large numbers from eastern Canada.

"I think that matter has been pretty well cleared up new.” tlhe Travel Bureau director said. “I went down there and found that some of those operating slrmlmer resorts on the New England 6008'- secmed to think the government ‘had deliberately taken action to harm their buslrness. I explained the situation as it la and the very real shortage dollars with which Canada is faced.

“I found a. very reasonable response-to my explanations and since that time I've encountered no protests from our American frlehds.

0il Well Continues Cut Cf Control

EDMONTON, May 16- (GP)- The wild Atlantic Ne. 3 oil well continued out of control tonight. but hopes were expressed the un- checked gushings through ground fissures can be stopped within a week.

"We hope to stop the cratering

in a week if everything goes well," said I. N. McKlnl-lon of Edmonton, chairman of the Alberta Petroleum Conservation Board. which Satur- day took ovcr the supervision of control measures. O11 and natural gas still were bubbling out of the ground over a 40-scre area adJaoent to the well, about 1d air allies southwest of ldmonton. However, dry weather enabled "good progress" since v98- tarday in control work. Mr. Mc- Kinnen rmortcd.

TEL AVIV, May 18 —(A.P) — Enemy planes bombed Tel Avlv four times today and i-lagana re- ported British troops had been ma- chine-gunned by the EIYDtlap Royal Air Force in Southern Pal- estlne.

Today's four raids made eight enemy air raids over this city since the new Jewish state of fs- rael was set up less than 48 hours previous.

(A Defence Ministry source in Cairo was quoted by Reuters as saying that the Egyptian airforce planes had carried out attacks to- day "destroying" the port ares. of Tel Avlv.)

Hogans now the army of the New Jewish state, reported that two Arab planes were believed shot down this morning.

The Jews put up light and scat- tered antf-aircraft fire, but so far no aircraft defence has ap- peared. .

Some casualties were reported in the city, and Qlight damage.

Jews taking the raids calmly, watched from the rooftops and windows as the raiders came over at about 5,000 feet. .

The first group of attackers was driven off by light anti-aircraft fire, and in the second raid one of two Spitfires dropped s. stick of bombs.

Yesterday an Arab plans was reported to have made a forced landing after s. hit by Jewish guns. and Hagana announced that the pilot was being held prisoner.

NEW YORK. May l0 - (AP) -'I‘l'lo heaviest trading in l5 years hit the New York stock market Saturday but ‘Ilridayk spectacular spurt in prices was slowed to l. walk. -

Wall Street was in a mood that recalled the turbulent days of pre- crash i929.

A bull market was on the move in the belief of investors and spec- ulators all over the United States. Public interest whipped up to white heat.

Price advances Saturday at the close though, were limited to $1 a share or less in most cases. Gains in early trading ran to around $2. The flashy advance on Friday had

' boosted leading issues $1 to $7.

Total sales of 2.590.000 shares were the largest for any Saturday since the "whisky market" of July 22, 1903. when heavy turn- over followed the repeal of pro- hibition.

The high-speed ticker tape, which usually reports prices ln a matter of seconds after the actual

transaction, lagged throughout

Wall Street Recalls Pre-l929 Crash Days

the two-lhcur session, unable in

' keep up with the rate of trading.

At one time the delay amounted to a record '13 minutes.

The stock exchange, under an emergency set-up, "flashed" prices of important stocks to give a more accurate guide to price trends. Under the "flash" plan, the price is reported immed- iately, instead of being held up behind a large volume o: other quotations.

Huge blocks of stock; changed hands in big-money deal; 21,000 shares of Packard Mo- tor, 1,100 International Harvester, 20,000 ‘I'd-Continental Corpora- tion. Lots of 3,000 and 5,000 shares were routine.

Advisory services kept the wires buzzing and security dealers heard from customers they had long forgotten. Brokers grinned at each other with the hllppy com- ment: “It looks like that real hing." But the buying s/pree fail- ed to budge prices very much.
