This slim, 58-year-old minister weighs but 104 pounds. He has been aptly described as “gentle in every way." Son of a village teacher. he always wears the villager's homespun dhoti (di- aper - like pantaloons), along with a Gandhi cap and slippers without socks.

He is a tectotaler. a vegetar- ian and a yoga enthusiast.

Although Shastri was com- merce and industry minister for three years, he has yet to go outside India.

In manner, he is self-effacing. He smiles often. And then his round friendly face looks a- most impish. But Shastri has dignity and some of the inner strength that made Mohandas K. Gandhi great.

This would prevent offensive odors and stop unsightly garbage blowing from the trucks or other vehicles.

SYSTEMS STUDIED wide variety of garbage disposal systems in a large number of cities was investigat- by Mr. Stewart during a ‘

through the Maritimes andl into Ontario. However, he notes only tvm

basic systems in use elsewhere— incineration and sanitary land- fill with the latter being more widespread because of cheaper o t

s .

Despite financial advantages gained from the sanitary land- fill method Mr. Stewart notes regardless of care exercised some refuse will get blown around during windy weather and points out that the method uses up a large amount of land For example he quotes the fact that this city would re- quire about 2% acres per year even when refuse is placed in layers and compacted.

He also states the high clay content of Island soil makes it difficult to operate a landfill ef- ficiently during certain season: With soft soil causing vehicles to bog down or frost prevent-

It. has a 6 foot opening at the top. The cone has two sets of doors directly opposite each other with the miuse pushed in by bulldozer on one side and the residue push- ed out the other.

Scott, appearing on a tele- vision program about the oft-sighted" but as yet un- proved "monster." said “a fish'is the easiest to imag- ine'

Mentioning reperts of a dark object more than 10 feet 10ng emerging three feet above the water, Scott said “I don’t think it could be a mammal because it would have to breath too often and it would be seen much more frequently."

It was difficult “but not perhaps wholly impossible" to imagine the object was a reptile. he continued. while it was "just possible" to re- gard the "monster" as an amphibian -- some type of newt or salamander on a , big scale. . Photographer John Luff showed pictures he took one night last October of an ob- ject “feathering through the water" of the Loch 200 yards away as it followed a school

of fleeing salmon.

David James, a member of Parliament, was along that night.

He and Scott have set up a clearing house for informa- tion on the Loch Ness “mon- ster."

GROWING TOLERANCE

A growing tolerance toward liquor is reﬂected in the num- ber of private clubs that have been granted liquor licenses, and the government's action of two years ago which removed the limit on liquor that a pur- chaser could buy in the govern- ment - controlled stores.

Hotel. motel and resort opera- tors are looking forward to the heavy influx of tourists expected for Centennial Year in 1964. It is believed that the P.E.I. Tour- ist Association. in its annual brief to the government this year, will suggest an easing of liquor laws. It is probable that the government will be asked to permit the selling of alcoholic beverages with meals.

It has been suggested that it liquor laws are going to be re- laxed. it should be done at the next session of the legislature. which is expected to begin ear- ly next month. This would give tourist operators a chance to become familiar with the laws

. in plenty of time for Centennial ear.

INQUIRY FIRST

Premier Walter R. Shaw. however, indicated this week hat he feels no change should be made before an inquiry is carried out. He pointed out that both Nova Scotla and New Brun- swick had Royal Commisslon before changing their laws recently.

ome cabinet ministers feel an inquiry is not necessary in this province. since the informa- tion gained in the Nova Scotin and New Brunswick studies is available to the government.
