City Obliged To Asslime. Full

Operation And

Airport Facilhee Extended

No Federal aid in extending the runway facilities at the Charlotte- mwn airport will be forthcoming union the City assumes the full responsibility for operation and maintenance. it was revealed lest guilt by Coun. Edwin Johnstone. Mung Mayor at the adjourned monthly meeting of the City Council.

While no fomsal resolution was adopted. the members of the Coun- cil voiced strong objection in- dividually to thin, proposal, and agreed to meet as-a body to pre- sent the matter before the Prov- incial Government; with s view to obtaining support in emphasizing the importance of the project from an lnterpoovinoial transportation standpoint.

It. was revealed that the airport operated on a deficit of over 330,000 last year and it was pointed out by Coun. Johnstcne, on the auth- nrlty of Capt. Carl Burke. presi- dent. of Maritime Central Airways. that most of the equipment had been bclnrht from the War As- sets Corporation at a very low fig- ure and was worn out and would have to be replaced shortly at a much greater cost.

In his statement on the subject Doun. Johnstone recalled that early in April, 1952. certain re- presentations were made from the Board of Trade and other inter- ested parties, to have the present runways at the airport extended, or to build another runway cap- able of handling a larger type oi aircraft. This was done not only with a view to future types of air- craft that might. use the airport. but also due to the fact that the Present airport. through MC.A., was using the facilities as an im-

unit for R.C.A.F'. planu. and this unit's capabilities for expansion were limited due to the insuffici- ent length of the present runways. A resolution asking the Depart- ment of Transport to make the necessary survey for the projected runway or runways was forwarded to Hon. Lionel Chevrier. Minister for the Department oi Transport. On April 23rd Mr. Chevrler re- plied to the communication. stat- ing that he had directed officials in Montreal to discus the matter with the City Council in order to reach some common ground on the development of the airport as far as could be done at that time.

Mr. Chevrler's Visit

On May lbth Mr. Chevrler was again written to by Mayor Stewart, asking for some action This re- sulted in a meeting a little later on. at which time Mr. Chevrier personally visited our City, and the Council members met and dis- cussed with him here the possibil- ities of the present extension.

Following Mr. Chevrler's visit. a survey was made by the Depart- ment of Transport engineers. On Oct. 29th Mayor Stewart again wrote the Minister asking if any- thing further had developed rela- tive to the expansion of the run- way facilities at the Charlotte- town airport. The reply to this cor- respondence ststed that such ll. pro- gram by the Department of Trans- port might be undertalfen. but only with the understanding that the municipality concerned would take over the responsibility of the operation and maintenance of the air field.

iryp Industry

"In the past few years the dairy industry has been subjected to the lnost vicious propaganda and an attempt by a few big business con- cerns to rob 455.000 faml families of a just llvlng," declared Mr. R. A. Pmfitt. President of the P. E. I. Dairymen's Association, in com- menting on the campaign for mar- garine and other cheap butter sub- stitutes at the Association's annual meeting yesterday.

"I say propaganda." Mr. Profitt added. ”for the introduction of these cheap substitutes did not originate from any spontaneous demand on the part of the people, but was instigated by well-organ- tried and powerfully directed propa. gentle on the part of those who saw it chance to make enormous tum! 0! money. If this were not so, how can you account for the failure of this to become a political issue in one of the largest cities of Canada with over a million populations, namely the city of Montreal.

"In our attempts to protect our industiy we have been under sev-- ere criticism and totally it ” - stood by many people." Mr. Profitt said. ”It is not our desire a pur- pose to try to deny anybody any- thing, but rather to protect an industry vital to both the factory worker in the city and the farmer

Orders To Shoot Follow Plane Incident

By DON DOIANE

WIIIIDSBADBN. Germany, (AP) --United Stats fighter pilots will give a hot reception in future to any Communist jets that come looking for trouble over west Ger- many, a 1.1.8. Air Force spokmman says.

American pilots didn't have a chance to return fire Tuesday when two Soviet-built MiG we shot down a U.5. I"-D4 Thunder- jet. the spokesman said Wednes- day.

The decision to shoot back was emphasized as Communist Czecho- slovakia. whose pilots flew the MlGs. countered an American pro- test over the incident with a counter-charge that the Thunder- jet and its patrol mate had insol- ently violated Ozedh territory.

Csech Story

The Czech story, as broadcast by Prague. was that the Thunder- jets had penetrated 26 miles into Csech tenrtory south-southwest of Pilsen and a battle developed when Amercans refused the orders from patrolling Czech fighters to land. ”One of the planes flew immed- iately westward." this account said. "The second was hit. started to burn and. slowly falling. dis- appeared in s southwesterly dir- ection."

The U. 5. Air Force spokesman said:

The Minister said he had receiv- ed many petitions and delegations asking for widening of specific roads as a preliminary to provid- lng these facilities. "I promise that no one will be held up for neces- sary servicee by our department." he said.

Despite all the road work done iy his department. expenditures lad been kept well withlll the est- iilettes last year. Mr. Macxlnnon mid.

Will raliio Action Pending Appeal Hearings

O'I'l'AWA. (GP) - The cabinet will not suspend Canada's new

ing of an appeal from provincial governments. Prime Minister St. Laurent indicated Wednesday in the Commons.

The Prime Minister, asked by a group of goverllments to have cabinet hold up the seven-per- cent order until their appeal is heard,. told the Commons he does not think the government has the right to interfere with freight rate decisions except after an appeal.

"hf that appeal is taken." her said. "the goverllol'- in-council cabinet will have to discharge the re nsiblllty . . , to deal with the or er in that way. But I do not think we are entitled to deal with it in any other way."

Debate May Resume

M.r. St. l..aurent's statement and other developments indicated the probability of at continuation Thursday of Moridayls Commons debate on frelgllt rates. ill which members of all opposition parties called on the government to sus- pend or rescind the increase.

The opening will come on a governrnent motion to set up the sessional committee on govern- ment-owned railways, and on con- sideration of transport department estimates.

Western and Maritime govern- ments telegraphed the prime min- ister Tuesday asking that the 538,- 500,000-s.-ycar increase awarded Monday by the board of transport commissioners be suspended until s. formal appeal is heard by the cabinet. It is due to become ef- fective next Monday.

No Date For Appeal

No date was proposed for the appeal. which must be launched through a petition to the cabillet.

Altiy General For Curbing R

The immediate addition to the R. C. M. P. of three men whose sole duty will be highway control and patrol will be made here, it was stated in the Legislature yes- terday by Hon. W. E, Darby. At- torney General and Provincial Treasurer. when he took part in the Draft Addreu debate.

He added that they would form a motorcycle patrol. Besides this change there will be three distinct- ivcly painted automobiles, manned by R. C. M. P. personnel, also to be used ill continuous highway patrol work. Mr. Darby expressed lhc thought that if the latter highway crew succeeded in doing nothing else they would at least have a tendency to slow down speeders.

A change proposed in the Tem- perlmcc Act could also have the possible effect of releasing other R. C .M. P. officers for highway work. The proposal involves turn- lng over to cities and towns of fines collected under the Act when local police are engaged in llle investigation and prosecution. Mr. Darby believed the populated centres would thus have more in- terest in this phase of law en- forcement and possibility it would

mean between two and four men ill the R. C M. P. being made available for highway or other duty.
