tion, the Premier said he was in hopes that the tariff and quota situation on potatoes can be ad- justed so as to give the P.E.I. potato grower a fair return on his investment. He admitted that sibly the farmers in his Pro- vince were depending too heavi- ly on the potato crop. An attempt is being made to diversify agric- ulture in P.E,I.. and Mr. Mathe- son felt there is a good future in frozen foods. He said he would prefer to see these frozen foods marketed in Montreal and Toron- to. rather than in Boston or New York. He also told the gathering that his Province had commenc- ed a program of industrial deve- lopment in the field of agricultural and fisheries products which he felt would advance to the great advantage of the area.

But he said the government does not consider that any mate- rial over-all increase would be justified now in the scale of pay- ments from the treasury to the nine provinces participating in tax rental agreements.

These agreements with all prov- inces except Quebec are due to ex- pire March 31. 1057.

MEET IN FALL

Mr. St. Laurent expressed the hope that the full-dress federal- provinclal conference. for which the current two-day meeting was meant only as a curtain-raiser. will be held just before or after Thanksgiving, Oct. 10. Some of the premiers agreed.

Despite the original intention of holding this week's meeting merely to draft an agenda. there were both federal and provincial suggestions for action in some fields before fall. notably on un- employment.

Premier I-licks of Nova Scotia

said the unemplo .......t situation is of such uzgency that it should be disposed during the current meetings. There is alarm and con- cern in Nova Scotia over unem- plcymsnt, said the Liberal pre- mier.

A lifetime spent in the care of the Peoples Cemetery was brought to a close yesterday in the death of Mr. Seymour Gre- gory of st. Avards at the age of 81. Following in thegoccupation of his father. the late Samuel Gre- gory. they were the only two caretakers that the People's Ce- metary has ever had.

In addition to his duties as caretaker at the Charlottetown Cemetery. the late Mr. Gregory was s cemete y contractor for over 30 years and many Island burial grounds owe their beauty to his careful and artistic plan- ning. His work of beautifying the st resting place of departed citizens was one in which iieitook a great pride. Part of his work was in caring for the graves of the Imperial War Dead, snoth'er duty efficiently carried out until his retirement only last Decem- her

Air Traffic Switching To Sea Language

OTTAWA. (CF)-Canadian air traffic is switching to sea lan- guage.

Civil aviation is gradually adopting the system of talking in nautical miles instead of statute miles.

There is a difference-the stat-

ute mile on land is 5,280 feet, the nautical mile 6.080 feet. A nauti- cal mile is the length of one min- ute of arc-1-Both of a degree- measured at the equator. The world's girth is 360 degrees or 360 degrees or 21.000 nautical miles. Last fall, civil aviation in the United States switched officially from statute miles to ” ' miles and knots In reporting dis- tances and speeds. The RCAF and civil transatlantic planes, have been using nautical miles for a long time.

OPTIONAL CHANGE

In Canada. the switch to san- tical miles was not fixed for any particular day and it is not com- pulsory.

However. the adoption of the nautical mile is becoming gen- eral in this country. It is usually necossa y to supply a conversion chart in each aircraft. so the crew can quickly convert one messurr ment to the other.

"There is no hard and fast pol- icy in this matter." an official said. "If a pilot still wants his wind speed in miles per hour. he will get it in miles per hour."

Exact measurement of the nautical mile may vary from country to country. In Canada and Britain it is exactw s.oso feet. In the, United States. it is

Conference

OTTAWA (CP)-Some L were short; some were long. Others were dry and scholarly; a few humorous.

But whatever the content of the speeches, the general mood at Tuesday's federal-provincial con- ference was one of affabllity. "There is a very good spirit pre- vailing." said Premier Duplessis of Quebec when the public session broke up for the day at 5:21 p. m. EDT after sitting two hours in the morning and almost three in the afternoon. The sessions were open to the press.

OFF THE CUFF

Four premiers spoke off the cuff-Mr. Duplessis. Mr. Manning of Alberta. Mr. Matheson of Prince Edward Island and Mr. .Smallwood of Newfoundland. The others and Prime Minister St. Laurent stuck pretty close to prepared texts. The premiers were ranged ac- cording to protocol round the con- ference table in the railway com- mittee room of Parliament's Cen- tre Block.
