The child apparently fell off the Government wharf. He was fully clothed and had been playing in the company of three or four little boys and girls. The other children did not immediately real- ize the danger to their playmate,

and there were no adult eye- witnesses. The body was found on the

shore below the summer home of Mrs. J, P. MacNichol, about one- quarter mile from the wharf. It was discovered by Mr. George McIntyre, Cardigan, who was searching for oars after dragging operations had been carried on for forty-five minutes.

Besides his parents, the boy is survived by his two sisters. Judy and Heather.

Two Fighter Pilols Killed In Mid-Air Crash

OTTAWA. Aug. 2a (GP) _. The Navy tonight released the names of two Seafire fighter pil- ots killed today in a. mid-air col- lision over Malton Airport.

The dead are:

Acting Lt..-Cmdr. CG. (Clunk) Watson. and Lieut. Charles Elton, both of Toronto.

Lt.-Cmdr. Watson, one of the leading pilots in the Royal Can- adian Navy, is survived by his ividow living in Halifax. Lieut, Elton was not married.

The two men were flying single- engined Syaflrcs in a group of naval aircraft brought from Dart- mouth, N.S., to take part in aer- ial displays at the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition in Toronto. Eyewitncsscs at tile busy airport said three planes swept the field in close formation and were going into a roll. One appeared to stall momentarily and fell out of for- mation. Whcn it attempted to re- gain its position, the propeller bit into the fuselage of the lead plane, severing its tail section.

The planes crashed 150 feet apart. One plummcttcd to the mound feet away from a busy highway to Toronto. The other. trailing smoke, narrowly missed the roof of a hospital and ex- ploded in n nearby field.

Nurses on the hospital grounds said wreckage from the exploding plane tumbled about them as they ran for cover. The pilot had ap- peared to regain control moment- arily in time to swerve the plane over the hospital. His burned body

‘ was found crushed beneath the engine. - ' The other plane did not explode or burn.

Federal lidvi Official Gives Figures In ll. S.

(By The Canadian Press) MADISON, Wis, Aug. ZIi-Can. acilan co-operatives handle about 33% per cent, of the main farm p r o d u c t s entering commercial channels of trade, J. E. O'Meara of Ottawa said tonight.

Mr. O'Meara. an economist in the Marketing Service Branch of the Federal Agriculture Depart- merit, said the co-operatives across the country handle a wide variety of products.

"By main commodities," hesald, "co-operatives handle 68 per cent of the wool, 56 per cent of grains and seeds, 23 per cent of dairy products. 27 per cent of fruits and vegetables, l8 per cent of live- stock, 18 per cent of poultry pro- ducts and 25 per cent of maple products."

He made the statuncnts in an address prepared for delivery at the 21st annual session of the American Institute of Cooperat- i011.

In the crop year ended July 8i, 1948, the value of farm products marketed by co-operatlves in Can- ada was more than $616,000,000. "This amount is an increase of 6.5 per cent over the previous year," said Mr. O'Meara, "but it is encouraging lo note that the increase in farmers‘ net cash in- com»: from the same products during the same period was 5.5 per cent which indicates that co- operatives in Canada have in- creased their proportlon of the handlings.“

Membership in Canadian co- operatives now is over the 1,000,- 000 mark. The members own and control 2.249 co-operatives of all types. a

The membership in the co-oper- aiive wheat pools in the three Prairie Provinces now totals more than 200.000.

Mr. O'Mcara said there have becn some recent developments in the co-operative field. Inter- provincial Co- operatives Limited, which is a federation of all pro- vincial wholesale ecu-operatives. purchased a bag factory a year ago and now is supplying co- operative mill and feed plants.
