BOYS’ PARLIAMENT CONCLUDES

Charlottetown. , Director of the parliament was Rev. H. L. Mitton of Charlotte-

town. Leading the devotional ‘periods and also making a great contribution to the sessions was Rev, Gordon Sherwood of Saint John, Boys Work Secretary for the Maritime Religious Educa- tion Council. The three devotion- al talks which he gave were re- garded as highlights of the ses- sion which opened Friday even- ing. ‘ RESOLUTIONS

Resolutions discussed yester- day concerned the promotion of work through the Maritime Religious Educational Council

and a resolution having to do with morals and politics. The attempts to purchase votes by money was one of -the evils men- tioned in the discussion in which a number of participants‘ sought ways and means whereby mem- bers of the Model Parliament might participate in an effort to bring about a better approach-' to politics in general.

The members of the Model Parliament are selected by the Protestant Churches of the Prov- ince. Invitations are sent out to these churches and they are responsible for sending delegates or members to the parliament.

The number of members for

this year’s parliament was smaller than usual but a spokes- man said that_ while the decrease in numbers was a disappoint- ment in itself, the smaller num- ber present made for a, more intimate feeling among the boys present and made it easier for some of the more inexperienced’ boys to participate in discus.- sions.

»“Teen age orazes" and “Dolls- and dating” were subjects of de- bates that gave the members scope for some fun and nonsense in addition to the more serious subjects which came in for a good deal of discussion during the three.-day session.

NewTiI|age Proposals

sociarted with the two visitors at each of them was Donald Gor- don of the A. Picksard Machinery Company, Charlottetown.‘

The Guardian ‘talked to Mr. Stirrliman and Mr. Tucker be- fore they left the province, and- discussed with them some of the ideas they had been propos- ing to farmers at, a series of meetings which took them to more than half a dozen centers across the province.

Messrs. Stirniman and Tucker insisted from the start that they were ‘here to help Island far- mers get bigger production or produce the present quantity more economically. They were not here to sell machinery ‘they stated.

Parallel terracing, one form of contour cultivating, instead of cultivating up and down steep slopes, was one of the subjects

dear to Mr. Stirniman’s heart.

He likes the parallel terracing system best for it retains mois- ture, and is easily workable

‘when time comes to cultivate.

SUB TILLING 1

Most of the discussion, how- ever, hinged on the matter of subtilling the soil. The sugges- tion was that the depth of soil used for agriculture should be at least ten or twelve inches in- stead of five or six inches as is the case in many areas. That depth can easily be attained, ‘Mr. Stirniman said, by following a carefully planned program of subtillage.

Subtillage breaks up the hard ‘pan that is found immediately’ beneath the soil‘. It is a mass of ‘ earth packed by repeated plow- in=g_ use of machinery and‘ they tramping of animals, it was ex- plained. — 4

The visitors, explained that it does not necessarily require

’ huge machines to do a subtilling

job. It depends on the size and width of the equipment that is used. An Eastern Kings man, R. S. MacDonald, Souris, R.R., said I subtillei-‘with his farm tractor.

Mr. MacDonald said he used his subsoiler--as he called ‘it- in several ways but found the best results when used between potato rows.

“I set the point of the sub- soiler to cut ‘a seam twelve

inches deep in the bottom of ’

soil, and lets water run down. Therefore no water runs off the field. I have found by doing this that even a small rain ofytwo or three hours duration give, sufficient moisture forthe sea- son."

“I have used the subsoller between "rows of cabbage and carrots, with as good results as‘ potatoes. It loosens the soil around the roots and lets. the water down." _ ,

If a heavier and wider s-ubtil- ler was used, it would naturally call for heavier machinery and more powerful tractors. _ ‘,

Mr. Tucker told efsubtilling on ‘one area in the Southern United States where the hard- pan was actually rock. Yet the depth of usable soil was deepen- ed gradually by chipping a bit-' off the rock beneath /soil each, time it was cultivated.

NOT NOUGH ROOM

Shal ow cultivation such as is carriedon here, it was suggest-; ed, does not give the roots of plants nearly enough room to search for moisture’, and food." They hit the hard pan and are stopped. Wheat,«he said, » has been known to send down roots as deepas twenty-one feet into the - ground. illustrating what plants can do if given the pro- per conditions. - .

It was Mr. . Tucker who did most of the talking about the disc plow which is not a plow at all but a heavy type of disc barrow. Incidentally‘ it was in-. teresting to hear him describe the job such equipment would do in chewing up roots and working them into the soil in areas that have been newly cleared. »

These gentlemen feel that the old turning plow has limited uses if a proper system of cultivation is followed. There are time when it is needed but they are few, they agreed. The use of the disc plow or heavy disc har- row -type sort of machine does a more effective job and is much better for the soil, they insisted.

Kohler Strike’ Splits Rackets

WASHINGTON (AP)—-'1‘-he Koh- ler strike which pitted father against son has split Democratic »' and Republican senators invest-

The strife between Walter Reu- ther’s United Auto Workers Union a d the Wisconsin bath- room f 1 x t u r e s manufactur- ing firm has become a ‘major subject of inquiry by the Senate rackets investigating committee.

Its four‘ Republican and four Democratic members have split- down party lines on a key issue- whom to summon as leadoff wit- nesses in hearings first scheduled

put off until “at least" Tuesday while the eight senators thresh out the procedural issue.

Reuther told reporters he wanted -to be a lead-off witness. - “We’re convinced that when’ the people have the facts,” he said, “they will place full moral responsibility for the strie on the Kohler company.”

The hearings will offer the Re- publicans’ lawyer - investigator John McGovern a chance to make good on his statement that he has turned up "astounding”

officials. _

_ The Kohler strike still is unset-

tled after nearly four years. The company and the UAW

‘the Canadian Industrial Traffic

League.

If —a government denies trans- portation agencies enough money to provide services the country demands, then -the government must offer some alternative.

Mr. Winters said there are gaps‘)

in Canada’s railway, air and waterborne services. , But, he stated, while these are being filled, it is essential “that the-services we have should be maintained in a healthy state, be- cause they are so vital to our na- tional well-being.” ‘

One of the main problems in national transportation, Mr. Win- ters said, is to attempt to‘recon- iile the advantages and disadvan- tages of the various provinces in relation to the movement of -goods, access to markets and ac-

igating the violence it generated.-

Fathers and sons. brother and brother found themselves ranged against each other. John Buchen, court-appointed lawyer in She- -boygan, says he has handled at least a-half - dozen divorces at- tributable to family feuds gen- erated by the -strike.

The UAW says it has spent $12,000,000 trying to win the strike, and has more to spend if necessary. The company contin- ues to operate. 1 .

Both the company and the union have set up special head- ,quarters here in preparation for the Senate hearings. Each ac- cuses the other of having: em- ployed “goon” tactics.

McClellan has told his commit- tee its -task is not to settle the strike but to determine whether congress should pass new laws to cope with troubles it produced.

Senator Barry Goldwater, a re- publican committee member, ac- cuses Reuther of manipulating the union‘ for political reasons- principally to help Democrats-— and engaging in violence and probably legal boycott practices which he says Congress should

The basic problems of the early days of} Confederation remained.

“The ‘scope for further improv- ing communications within and between the provinces is still great,” he said, “far more so than in any other country which has attained a high standard of industrialization. ~

“To state the needfor further strengthening of natidnal unity is not to deny the provinces their

deny that some of the provinces may have legitimate grievances insofar» as a national transporta- tion policy adversely affects some local inte‘rests.”, ,

Mr. Winter said tariffs and transportation are intimately con- nected.

He said Canada's real -:hoice does not lie in either free trade or full protection but in a con- stant r e vie w i n g of individual cases, as they occur, measured against the over-all national need.

Highways Dept. Makes Move To

I Train Diese-I Men

. Provincial Department of High- ways personell will be better able to cope with the maintenance problem presented by their many units of equipment following con- clusion of a course in diesel en- gine and heavy duty mechanics which commenced last week.

Maintenance problems have plagued the Department for some time due to the "ever-increasing complexity of the machines they use, and the difficulty in procur- ing and retaining staff qualified to handle this equipment.

Facilities are being prepared in the Smith barn in Parkdale for the instruction of classes which for the time being will be drawn from the mechanical staff of the government garage. Later in the

ber, it is anticipated an extension will be built on the Vocational School. after which students of high school standing in addition to garage employees will be ‘admit- ted to regular studies in the op- eration, care and maintenance of heavy duty equipment.

The course, given by the local Department of Education as part of its vocational training pro- gram, is under the direction of Mr. T.M. Roddie, chief instructor of the Nanaimo Vocational School, British Columbia. Mr. Roddie is on loan here from the

the next three months.
