"inc Potato ccrnmitiea of the Council of which I have been the chairman for he past four years WI! iv the most, interesting 0! all the commodity group meet- lnis." stated Mr. W. 1!. Shaw. Deputy Minister of Agriculture. in common” , yesiuday on four-day an-uai meeting of the Canadian Horticultural Council which he attended last week.

"A large numb of ' 'i--- were presented. some of which were of rather a contentious na- ture." Mr. Shaw said. "A great deal of discussion took place on a resolution designed to elimin- ate Tquridation A' grade in seed potatoes and to raise the standard of the iCertiitied.' It was finally decided to table this reeolutiod on the argument that some provinces might find it difficult to qualify an adequate quantity of certain varieties. partlc-ularly 'B1laa Tri- umph' and tPontlac.' There is no question. however, that there was merit to this resolution and that it is desirable to reduce seed grades to two classifications and gradually increase the quality of our seed.

"Another resolution had refer- ence to the increase in size of Canada No. 1 grade tablestock potatoes from 2 to 2 1-4". This resolution was also withdrawn after considerable discussion.

"A recommendation from your own delegates was to compromise ands-educetheoiuatone end and increase slightly on the other. This would have left a much more uniform pack. Under the present sizes a ten pound package may contain some potatoes four in- ches in Vaize. running down to some two inches in size. 'Ilh:'s leaves a very unattractive pack. There is a need of improvement in this respect. particularly in the small packages.

improvement 0! Quality

"A great deal of discussion took place on ilhe ouistulndin-g need for improvement in potato quality and some assurance of such quality to the consumer. Potatoes of various varieties are placed on the market without being named and there is a vast difference in the quality oi these potatoes. The consumer has no way of telling which is a good package and which is a bad one.

"Dire use of the hydromcicr. marking of varieties, and out- standing publicity on quality and food,value through the press, ra- dio and extension workers. were all under discussion. and there was a strong trend both in the Potato Committee meeting and in the general Council meeting to effect such measures as would provide the housewife with a po- tato marketing technique in which she may have confidence and as-

noe of quality.

"Some slight changes were made in the grade size of turnips. The sizes now recommended are two to four inches. small: i:l-u-ee to four and one-half inches. email me- dium; four to five and one-half. medium: four to six indies. me- dium large; five and,up. large. A greater number oi farm producers of potatoes and tumipa should at- land each year this important meeting and secure a first hand knowledge of the interests oi po- tato and turnip growers right ac-rcu Canada."

The verdict that Mrs. Gordon newts. Pal-kdale. came to her death by accidental drowning on North River, Sunday. February 18 was re- turned yesterday Imrncon by a coronal? jury empanelled to in- ” .

the death of the deceased:

coroner Dr. .l.D. Macoulgan presided at the inquest held in the city Hall and Mr. J.P. Nicholson represented the crown. The jury was comprised of: Messrs. Charles snow. foreman, Preston sentner. George Beer. Arthur Love. Fred Hickok and Sterlinl MI-cxav.

First witness was Fulton Sander- son oi North River who pushed the ice. Questioned by Mr. Nichol- son. he stated that he had burned the ice for the past twelve or thir- teen years. This work was done un- der the direction oi Mr. Harry Pathlck, road foreman of the Corn- wall district.

Witness testified that he had hushed the ice on Dturday morn- ing. Feb. 17. The can had been crossing the ice since Feb. 11, he stated. and when he tested the ice on Feb. 10 he found that it'was nine inches deep.

Prom past experiences witness had .buahed the ice when it was between six and eig-ht inches. I-ie very seldom let it go more than nine inches before bushing although sometimes he had found it 18 inches deep. He stated that country trai- iic took to the ice whether it was hushed or not.

Considered Ice Sale

witness stated purpose of bush- ing was to guide the travellers in case of a. storm or fog. People usu- ally crossed the ice about a week before it was hushed. he said. He stated that the ice was absolutely safe before it was bushed in reply to a question by Mr. Nicholso and added that he had crossed on the ice several times during the week.

He stated that the prolonged thaw would weaken the ice and make it unsafe. Asked if the River were hushed in other localities he stated that it was in two other places.

The jury foreman. Mr. snow, stated that he had measured the ice where the truck went down and found it. was eight inches in depth. Three inches cf this could be call- ed ice and the remainder slush, he said. a Dr. Macauigan asked witness ii there were any cracks or bulges on the ice and witness replied that there wasps. crack caused by trai- fic. Asked by Dr. Maccluigan ii there were any year when he would not bush the ice. witness stated "no. but that he had taken horses out oi water under ice 16 inches deep." He said there -were between two and three hundred people on the ice alter the accident Sunday and if the ice had been poo it would have broken. a

Witness said there was it cmcl: in the ice when he went to the ac- cident and that the truck had gone through about 70 or 80 feet from the line of bushes. He felt sure that it they had been on the track the truck would not have gone down.

Tells of Accident

Gordon Lewis. Parkdale. husband of the deceased. stated that he and his wife left home in an interna- tion truck about three o'clock for Cornwall. They were going to tra- vel by the road but found the road rough so they crossed on the ice.. Always thought that when ice was hushed it was safe.

They revere pretty cloud to York Point when the truck went down. Witness said they had no indication anything was wrong. The truck Just hit a bump and sank. witness stated that his wife told him to jump. Thought they both said Jump. His wife had the door open. Next thing he knew he was standing on the ice.

Asked by Dr. Macauigun if he noticed any bushing. he said there were bushes on both sides and that he had followed the sam:' tracks as the others.

Dr. Harold Shaw. Provincial Pathologist. performed the autop- sy. He stated death was due to drowning.

James Newell. 13 chestnut at... a mechanic. was out on ice Feb. ,18 -with his brother in a. car. They were carrying on. driving all over the ice. He stated there was def- tnlttiy cne track irom Brighton side to York Point.

Witness saw truck going through ice for split second. He thought there was some one in the front and that they jumped aside. Then truck went out of sight. At time of accident he was about 300 yards away. .

Lawrence Docherty. taxi driver. was out on the too about three o'- clock that afternoon in his own car. He was turning around when he saw the tntck going down. He gave to the shore and to town for Get. George H. Macxinnon. R.. O.M.P., testified 'tttat'"wnm;'1n'a truck was found it was on its left side. The body was in the cab with the head towards the left door and feet to risbt. Both doors were closed. He stated there was about nine inches of ice where the truck went down and thought it was well formed. --

umstances surround- ml

The following report of the trustees of the Prince Edward Is- land for the year ending Dec. 31 last was given by Mr. N. D. Mac- Lcan. chairman. at the annual meeting of the Hospital last even-

While this is the oath annual report of the trustees of the Prince Edward Island Hospital. it is for a period of nine months, in- stead oi twelve months as in the past. This is due to changing the fiscal year to correspond with the calendar year. This change was agreed to at a special meeting of the Corporation held on January 11th. 1961.

The growth of the hospital over the intervening years shows the importance of the hospital to the community in caring for the sick. 1 am not going to give any fig- ures comparing the different years at this time. as any figures I could give now would be just for a period of nine months.

One thing I do want to stress right here is that while the hos- pita! is growing, and caring for many more patients each year. it is also growing in financial needs. when the first hospital was start- ed there was not the demand or -need-nor were they available- many of the expensive drugs and equipment needed todiIy- Staff is also another big item in financing the hospital.

Not Heavily Endowed

We are not in the fortunate position of some hospitals which are heavily endowed. our endow- ment iund really is very small compared with what it could be. During the past few years we have had very few legacies left to us. and we trust that those who are able to leave money for charity will remember the Prince Edward Island Hospital and the good work it is doing, not only in caring ior the sick who are able to pay. but also the large number of patients who are unable to pay at all. What finer memorial could R person have than money left in trust for special equipment that perhaps could not be purchased otherwise. or to help build a spec- ial department ln the hospital.

it extrsrieiy hard to finance any new additions. Right now we need more space for Pediatric Devast- ment-a department which needs about thirty or forty bade for children. This department should he separate from the other departments of the hospital. We also need more space for private rooms in the maternity depart- ment. and a. central supply de- partment.

The new nursery. ambula cc entrance and dociors'quartars has been completed. This wing gives us forty cubicles for the nursery. with lots of working space. and enables the staff to keep the bab- ies more or less isolated from one another. which is extremely im- portant. There is also an isolation room and premature rooms. For pr arlng formulas. etcetera. the s f has sufficient mace now to work in comfort. which I am sure they appreciate.
