" Two objects at a great height "id leaving vapour trails in their mire passed over the city yester-

‘any afternoon in s northwuterly direction. , » ' Many residents of -the city and nxbunbs reported Ilshtins the ob- jectl in a eioudiess akyiietween 4 and 4.iLp.m. They were dea- cribed alternately as two streaks

'01 light moving slowly across the ';ky and two balls of white with streamers attached.

A check with the Radio Range .01 the Department of Transport here elicited the information that they may have been two jet planes from their base at Cbatbam, N.B. on mflIlO9I.IVEl'I. ,

Many res'Iden~ts mindful of the reappearance of “Flying Saucers" in many parts of the country con- nected the jets with these strange

objects. -

A resident of the Royalty area reported fighting a strange ob- ject in the sky Tuesday evening. It also was travelling in a north- westerly direction and was des- ulbes so perfectly round and very .rcd. it had no tail like a comet. nol‘ did it show any trail such as might be caused by the exhausts of a jet plane. it was stated. The eerie mlssle was accompanied by, a peculiar humming noise.

From the R.C.A.F. station at‘ Summersidie. it was learned that a squadron of six jet planes from Chatham were over the Province at about 2.30 yesterday afternoon. they passed the Summerside sta- [ion at an altitude of about 32,000 feet. They were heading in a south, south easterly direction and about five minutes later tum- ad back towards Chatham.

They were very high, and only two planes of the six were visible when over the Summerside station, although a short time later, when they turned for home, all six were seen. However, there were no re- ports of jet aircraft over the Pro- vinc later in the afternoon. ‘

Library hallities

In speaking of the libraries, Mr. I..arge,rroted that PE]. is the only Province with a library net- wcrk centering around a depot in Charlottetown. The inspection of schools. would cost nearly $4,000 extra this year as the inspectors re- ceived increasesin salary from $1.- 175 to $2.000.

Expenditures on visual aid have been increased from $8,000 to $10,- 000. He said that film councils had been organised throughout the Province and in 1949 over 100.000 people had attended shows and councils. During‘~'the month of February 00.000 people have at- tended. these functions.

Subvaition Increased

The text book sub-vention policy has been increased from $10,000 to $15,000. he pointed. out. 32,000 has been granted. for curriculum in- vestigstlon and instruction, and in this oomectlon-. he noted theta our.‘ ‘urn committee had been set up. , The Land Evaluation Board has been granted $0.000 he stated and service to districts in this connect- ion will beprovided free. The first school unit stParkde.1e. is now functioning. he said. and he felt that the dlstricfii throughout the province would study this system for a time before they de- cidc on taking any action.

Approximately $12,000 has been granted ,for assistance in the deaf and the blind. .l~le noted that a teacher in the Provincial Sanstorium was looking after 20 students and -that the City school Board had sent a teacher from the city to Toronto to take spec into work in .o.-medial teaching. ere credo students at ..I3'9§. .._1n.."1.’.1!‘£11 "_°"W°m W‘ °1 3”‘ and sixteen "failhg" cau.rses7"ne' stated. ~——

$50.000 has been granted for making’ lm ovesnenis in schools and new co tructions, he said.. He felt that there were schools in the Province that should\be replaced.

New Dormitory

He expressed the hope that work on the new dormitory at Prince of Wales College would be started this year. ‘

Dealing with the cooperation which has existed between the

rtments of Education in the Marltlrne Provinces. he believed that H011. of llducition. for Nova Bcotia and Hon. Mr. Brittain. Minister, of Education, for New Brunswick would visit here in April.

He expressed his appreciationfor the worlrthat had been done in the district. he represented. one mlle of the Bea View Road had been rebuilt and the Graham's Road project had been completed.

I-ic noted that the reconstruct- ion of_the Clifton Bridge would be completed this year. He recall- ed that eight miles of mvernent had been replaced at Springfield and that 351.800 had been spent in hisdiiatrlct in 19¢. _ ,

He stated that he would in no way obstruct any Federal a.id to education and oiitnied the differ- ent graritr and aids that the Dom- inion Government had given to the Province in this connection durltrs the past two score years.

Ila noted the great interest shown on the part of producers to- wards marketing boards and he balieved that mar etlrig board s fines should started on a moderate scsle.. .lf joined with marketing boards in Nova scotia and New ggunswlck, more success would be achieved. .

The over-all picture. Mr. Large said, was one of ty with increases in capital equipment and tech cal know-bow. In conclus- ion h invited the members to visit the ‘lat District of Queens which he believed to be the finest in the province. ,

Charges thatthe farmers were the fim class of people to sums: from the restrictions of Federal {rants while‘ the Provincial Gov- ts at moneys extravagant- 1¥ 1n~l—vt$r_ , way! were made in the ‘Legislature yesterday after- noon by . Phillip Mstheson (PC. 304 Qu _) in hIs_.speech on the Budget debate. “Why do we always have to take_ the first crack of the axe?" he asked. ,"When the prices begin to, gllp who’ but the producer is the first to feel it?" He pointed out that perhaps the Island should not'have to put up as much money. In mlI¢h1n8_lrants as other Pro- vinces. "but when the Treasurer said that the Province could do away with certain services why did they turn to the farmer?!’ "We might mention items which the Government could be econ- 0311081 On." he said. “We were told by the ex-Minister of Agri- culture that the barn at Falcon- W°0d C083 $0.000. ‘The statement tabled in this Houpe said $21,000 and we did not 'gst(it all yet. If that 15' the way things are carried on It is no wonder that -we went $1.000.000 in debt last year." A this point Premier Jones ask- ed the member where he got his $30.000 figure as the cost of con. struction. Mr.‘ Matheson replied from the ex-Minister of Agriculture, where- upon the Premier stated that the $30,000 might have included the pastcurizing ‘plant. “I hoperit does," he replied, “but if not. the over-expe iture 3,; so evident that even I can criticize 3 little." He’ referred to the travelling expenses of Government members and officials, pointing out that a trip to Ottawa for one man cost $1.800. "He must have travelled an awful lot," he said, "or he must; have had-a great time travelling."

I Farmers Brief

He entered into a sharp cross- fire with the Pi-em.ier over the matter of the Federation of Agri- culture brief and the reported ad- dress of the Government leader at a recent Rotary luncheon.

‘He stated that the brief was Riven in the spirit of good fellow- ship and cooperation but was re- buked by this House.

_Premie-r Jones retorted that it did not receive a rebuke from the House as the mernbers were not in session.

Mr. Matheson: "He does not feel too good about it."

Premier Jones: "I am feeling all right. how are you feeling?"

. . 134!-__II4_I.‘.tII.:¢§°;n.s;1:I.e suggests to

the ‘Rotary Club that they buy a 1,000 acre famn." "

Premier Jones: “I object again.

I did not suggest." 4 Mr. Matheson: “What did 1 read in the paper? Perhaps I should. have used the word ‘out- lined’. If the businessmen: took hold of it. it would look to me as if we were going back to the days 0d the landlord. He had iihc idea. on the one hand of sending the ‘"'m°l'3 Iwme. and on the other hand he turned around and out- lined to the businessmen that they could sit in their office chairs and direct the farm." He compared the attitude of Liberal members to the Federation brief with that of the Romans in "Horatio” at the Bridge. ‘.‘The Ro. mans were like brothers in the brave days of old." He pointed out that only one Liberal member voted in favor of the recent mo- tion for the House to dissociate itself from the action taken by Prem.ie_r Jones with regard to the brief. Several others, he said. were scared to come from the out.- sr room into the House at the time of the vote.

Undecided

He had taken no stand on the draggers. He said he talked with fishermen from his district who wanted them and with others who did not want them. He pointed out the ditflcuity which the fisher- man faces in the winter months of maintalninga livelihood. Perhaps some fruit-growing. in those com.

tin or some small industry giigbt be the answer to the ques- on.

He ex-pruned regret that so many schools were manned by inefficient teachers. ‘He noted that a certain road in King's County W31 WIDE to be paved in the com- inl year. but that the 1st. 2nd and 3"‘ Dlliflfilfi of Queen's look as if they are going to be left very shy of road building during 1950.

He noted that the members of thelGovernment were elcpregglng fear of the increasing debt. “Some Government must face the facts," 110 Hid. “we can not go on and on into debt. The Dominion Gov- ‘emliflli may have to take us out and in roturntltey will demand a lot of services."

fine Provided . For Violating Highway

Under Sec. 113 of the Highway Traffic Act. the Lieutenant Gov- ernor-in-Council may prohibit the operation of motor vehicles on all or any of lths highways in the Province for such period of time in each year as may be deemed 9;. pedicnt. _

Teeth ere inserted for the en- forcumcn of this provision yester- day in the Legislature when High- ways Minister H. E. Cox moved. seconded by the leader of the Op- position. that for violating this section a. fine of from 025 to 350 be imposed, or alternatively 10 to 30 days in jail. In addition. the offender’: motor Ve'hIc3e may be impounded for tine period during which the normal traffic is sus- pended.

I-lon. Mr. Cox said it was sur- prising the damage which heavy trucks do over the roads at this season.

The amendment was put through while the House was in committee on second reading of the bulky bill consolidating the Act. which was finally reported agreed to.

Truck Licences

sec. 103 of the Act also came in for discussion. This provides that the motor vehicle fees may be prescribed from time to time by the Lieutenant Governor in Coun-

cil.

Mr. Bell said he un‘ registration fees for trucks had been increased,

and he pro- tested against this.. .

latlons were discriminatory. The fees were raised from $8 to $137 or $138 on gravel trucks while flat bottom trucks rates had been re- duced by $30.

The explanation given was that this year the trucks are registered according to their weight. and the steel bodied trucks are approxim- atcly 1.000 lbs heavier. Wlhere this puts their total‘wclght over the 6,000 lb mark the rate per 100 lbs jumps from $1.50 to $2.25. Provincial Treasilrer W. E. Dar- by said_that there probably would be injustices but that the Govern-

suggestions for changes.

Previously the Vehicles were re- gistered according to the igross load to be carried and this meant that it was up to the honesty of the truckman. It also meant that the truckmen set his own charge as he might register for a total gross weight of 10,000 lbs and actually have twice that weight. Mr. Darby claimed.

Says Minister. Noi Blamable

_"'T

orrA"wA. March 2e —(Special) —In discussion of Transport De-

of Commons today, W. Chester--S. McLure, Progressive conservative member for Queen's made it clear that he placed no personal blame on Transport Minister Ohevrler for the shortages of reefer cars to handle P. E. I.’s potato and tur- nip crops.

In his appeal: to the Minister, Mr- 'lVloLure said. he simply want- ed to be assured that Mr. Chev:-ler had been correctly informed as to actual conditions of the short.- a e. . 8“.-it no time.” the Queen's mem- her said. "was I complaining about the Minister of Tl'8lL‘*pOI‘I‘. so far as iihe supply of reefer cars was con- cemed. At all times lwaa en- deavoring to give him information, and I accepted what _he_ said as his understanding of what was correct. having in mind the source from which he was getting his informat- ion.

“I do say. however, that I knew it was not correct because the source from whim I gained my Ill‘ formation indicated clearly that there was a shortage of reefer cars."
