Announcement to this effect was made Saturday by Hon. Eugene Cullen, Minister of the De- partment, who said that he would iuk for 5l00,000 for this purpose. The draggers will likely be built in Nova. Scotia and will be the new style 60-foot boats which have been found satisfactory for fishing

in these waters.

Muiph Chamberlain's Islanders maintained their sizzling drive towards top spot in the Maritime Major Hockey League here last night by coming from behind to shade Sydney Millionaires 8-2 in a well and bitterly played game at the Forum. g

The Islanders fought back from under ii. 2-0 Sydney lead at the end of the first period. They tied the game at 2-2 during the sec- ond session and shot the only counter of s. lively third session..

Once more it was the vaunted right wing scoring power, of the Islanders that paid off. Cagey Lyle Wiseman fired two goals in the second period and Ronnie "Little Murph" Hurst came through with the winner in the third. ,

As a result of the game the Is- ,landers move in within five points of the first place Halifax Atlantlcs. The locals have been undefeated in their last six games and have lost only two of their last sixteen contests.

THURSDAY

CYITAWA, Jan. Zil - (Special)- Hope that a start would be made on the proposed Federal Building at Charlottetown this year faded from the minds of the joint mem- bers for Queen's today when Fin- ance Minister Abbott tabled his main parliamentary estimates for 1953-54.

Instead of substantial amount be- ing placed in the estimates for this long-talked-of building. the old vote of 350,000 remained unchang- ed. Whether all or any part of this sum will be spent this year is prob- lematical.

A change in the Sales Tax in- terpretation will prove of benefit to fishermen with the announce- ment that in future rope over I 1-2 inches in circumference and wire rope or cable when used as fishing equipment will be exempt from the tax.

Word to this effect was received here yesterday by Mr. A. Walthen Ciaudet, secretary of the P. E. Fisherie Federation, ending a two year fight for this interpretation by the Federation. Henceforth the word "equipment" will include such above mentioned ropes or cable used as fishing gear which is carried on the vessel.

It is felt that this is I matter of great importance to the Province, especially in view of the advent and the increasing use of drag- gers.

The continued dominance of the

Island-type Yorkshire bacon hog is amply demonstrated in a set of figures covering the flrst.hal! of 1952 which were prepared by Mr. H. W. Clay, Senior Livestock Fieldman in the Federal Depart- ment of Agriculture. The figures show the Advanced Registry re- suli4.across Canada.

Breeders in this Province en- tcred 41 hogs for the Advanced Registry and 41 of them qualified On ario had the same number qualifying, but there were 53 from that Province which failed.

Assurance that there will be no iiiterruption of tne Borden-Tor- inentliie ferry service in the event of a. railway strike was received yesterday by the Provincial Govern- ment from Mr. Donald Gordon, President of the Canadian Na- tional Railways.

Mr. Gordon's telegram, address- ed to Premier Jones, was receiv- ed by Hon. A. W. Matheson, Act- ing Premier, and communicated to his Cabinet colleagues'before being released for publication. It reads as follows:

"For your information, there is no reason to fear interrup- tion of ferry service in spite of the strike called for Man- day. February 2111!, by the Brotherhood of Railroad Train- men. We are taking all neces- aary steps to ensure continuity of operation."

The skirl of the pipes and swish of kilts dominated the situation at tli'e Burns Anniversary conceit last evening as number after num- ber was called to the stage at Prince of Wales college auditor- ium by the genial Master of cere- monies, Mr. Walter R. Shaw.

From the entrance of Lieutenant Governor T. W. L. Prowse and Mrs. Prowse, accompanied by Hon. Dougald MacKlniion, repre-

senting the Premier. and Mrs. MacKiiinon, and His Worship, Mayor J. D. Stewart and Mrs.

Stewart, who were piped to their seats, imtil the final curtain, the entertainment provided was of ex- ceptional quality and worth.

The Master of Ceremonies brought to his task a fund of Scottish lore and short stories with which he entertained the audience between numbers as well as during his opening remarks of welcome and appreciation.
