Stanley lcc Racing

Saturday's frost and sunshine to- gether with the valuable gifts that have been donated by the gener- ous citiliills of the community have proven a grand ‘success fo- ward drawing e joyful crowd‘ to the old speedway.

Two nice classes were raced. off in s. snappy manner. The best time for the day was 34 seconds for the quarter mile, madeby Hal Aubrey and carefully rained b] Wm. Profitt of Kensington. The track was somewhat heavy in spots. Hal Aubrey’s contenders‘ in Saturday's race has decided to step over the same course in much less time next day.

The Fair-weather horse was not Just at himself all the way but his luck of being in the right barn will soon make matters right.

Honey Girl was off her style st the start some dosen months since she has been hitched to anything light.

Buddy Prince stopped out in front in the Class A trot in his usual good form.

Jerry Aubrey and Scotty Cope had e battle royal from wire to wire which required the keenest skill of the judges to decide the winner for ’ position. The fans are on their toes awaiting next race when those three with Loddy Dale and Stanford Ha. will assure the audience some- thing worth while for their money.‘

The management was glad to receive entrance money from My- ron MoArthur, John T. McLeod and Harry Keating for the next day's free for ell.

Mr. Emerson Mathieeon and the President. J. B. tt are to oa highly commended for their splen- did work in preparing this track.

Much laluablc information At iionference

Mr. W3. Agnew. Provincial trade agent to Newfoundland, who has iiist returned from sttendinﬂ the Best Coast. Fisheries Conference held lest week in the City of Que- bec, informed The Guardian yes- tor-day that if the‘ many discus- sions participated in by fishery authorities at the conference did not bring out any definite assur- ance respecting the futurs pros- parity of the Maritime fishing in- dustry, at least a great deal of valuable information was acquired by those attending it,

The lobster canning industry has probably e greater chance of sur- vivlng the present chaotic world condition then any other branch of the fishing industry, Mr. Agnew said. The United States market. coupled with the considerable d0- mestic market, will take care of all the canned lobsters the Province will be able to produce, at least in the immediate future.

It is a good thing, Mr. Agnew said, that such a tremendous mar- ket as that of the United States is available. Whereas. 2i) years and more ago, England was one of the Island's best markets for canned lobsters, the present dollar short- age combined with the British Government's refusal to sanction the importation of luxisry com- modities hos closed that market to Island exporters. France, Germany, end other European, markets are also. for various reasons, closed to imports o,f canned lobsters.

Mr. Agnew said that poor econ- omic conditions in Europe is the chief reason for the present un- availability af that market to can- adlan lobster exporters. Those conditions do not‘ apply to any great extent to Norway or Sweden but on the other hand, the dollar shortage prevents those countries from importing even the relatively small quantity of canned lobsters they did bring in during more nor- mal times.

Outlook Unlironrlelng

The outlook for the Province’: canned herring exports are not too bright, Such a prospect is un- fortunate, Mr. Agnew said, es the catches of this fish have always been abundant and herring fishing does not require the expensive out- lay necessary for the prosecution o1 the lobster fishery. Canned herring constituted approximately O0 per cent of all fish imported into the Union of South Africa during the first nlne months of 1947 end it is understood that the South African Government has the bulk of those fish still on its hands.

Another discouraging factor, snillteting against further exports of canned herring to South Africa is that the canned pilcherd indus- try is rapidly developing there and may be counted upon to offer greater competition to imported canned herring both in price and in quality. . .

Mr. Agnew said his present in- formation is that small quantities of canned clams. haddock, and lobsters will b; exported to South Africa this year from. the Mari- times but that the value of such exports will not be_ greet. There is e potential market, Mr. Agnew explained, in lilg Belgian Congo for Canadian canned fish that can be sold at a cheep price. Canadian canned herring is not at ell a novelty on that market, he said, and as about 800.000 pounds of that type of canned fish will be import- ed into the Belgian Congo this year, there might be a good op- portunity in that market for Is- land csnners.

' Weetlndieelfarhet

Canadian exporters of selt groundfish suchas cod and heke, havs several worthwhile markets in the West Indies, Mir. Agnew said. but the quantity of cod and hake caught of; Island waters by Is- land fishermen hes seldom been large enough to warrant prepar- ing those fish for tlsq West Indies market. However. the domestic market can easily take care of all the good Island dried fish which is produced. Since good canned mackerel and lobsters should sell at attractive prices during ma, the Ismedlafo financial prospects for Island fiahezrmen are not es discouraging as the overall picture would lesd one to suppose, Mr. Agnvw said.

Sliding commodity and stock prices found cushions st new low- er levels yesterday in brisk action on ell markets except the live- stock where trade wes dull and prices slightly easier. Sharp open- ing price tumbles in nearly gll in- stances were reduced es mid-day rallies propped trading confidence and the financial day closed on firmer undertones.

Plunging prices on United States commodity markets at opening of exchanges yesterda put pressure on securities and th New York and Toronto were down sharply in the early session trading. Ohi- celo grains dropped the permiss- ible limit wtih Winnipeg reacting in sympathy. Cotton at New Or. leans was down more than $10 a bale and at New York from $4 to

iio Recent Bids For Mt. Pleasant. Airport Surplus

OTTAWA, Feb. i1‘ —(5pQc1g1)_ In a reply to a question asked by J. Watson MacNaught. Liberal maznbe for Prince. Trade and Commerce Minister Howe today revealed that the Mount Pleasant Airport (N0. 10 B and G School) had been declared surplus by War Assets Corporation and that e considerable proportion of the air- pgrt: equipment had been dispos- a .

Five of the lvlount Pleasant air- port buildings have been purchas- ed by the Department of Recon- struction of the province for a total price of $6,481.72. Eight more

$5,319.58, and one building was

acquired by Oscar MacNei1 of Conway for $1.500. Beulah-ling assets of the war-

time air school yet to be sol-d tn- clude 690.14 norm of land; four hangars; some 20 buildings of types formerly used as of- ficer! and N.C.O.'s quarters and messes, a, drll1 and recreation hall, oil and paint stores, control tow-

er and similar airfield appurten- emcee. The property is also equipped

wiifih water and sewer services, electric power and steam heating appliances. has extensive fencing, water and gasoline storage tslnks. garages and an incinerator. The Dominion Government has first priority in pisrqhase of the re- mlining assets, with a. second priority established for the pro- vincial government and a third foe‘ municipalities. No recent bids have been received for outstanding surplus property, so it is thought ilkely some of the balance of the Mount Pleasant equirmeh-t will be transferred to the R.C.A.F. school st Summerside.

supply of heating oils is critical] Every ‘ZgIuETBf Hail-cg fuel is precious today and may be for some time. Imperial Oil is doing everything possible so supply Canadian homes, buttise demand has increased at such an unparalleled rate both in Canada and throughout the world that reﬁning, transportation, and other facilities are sorely pressed so keep up supply.

Heating engineers believe thatvalmost every householder could save fuel oil without discomfort or hardship by follow- ing these simple conservation suggestions:

In daytime, keep housmempera- rure from 6B to 70°; at night, 60° or lower.

Close 0E unused rooms, sun- porcbes and garages.

When away from home for an ex- tended period, keep your house er 55' or lower.

6 Use the ﬁreplace wherever possil ble; close the vents tightly when the ﬁreplace is not in use.

If possible, have insulation installed if you do not already have it.
