FAIR ATHER, W. P. MOFFATT

Defends CN R Reduction In Passenger Service Locally

"The. Railway did t reduce its passenger services o Prince Ed- ward Island by choice, they did it by necessity". said Mr. S. W. Fairweather, Vice-President of Re- search and Development for the

,Canadian National Railways who

with Dr. 0. M. Solandt, Assistant Vice-President and Mr. W. P. Molfatt. Chief of Research, made a ' ” visit to Charlottetown. They leave by private car on the morning train.

During a Guardian interview yesterday, Mr. Fairweather asked "Would we be good trustees of the people's money. if we were to continue to operate trains which were not being patroniz- ed?” Continuing he said, "I am not saying that people should patronize the trains in the sum- mcr time, but I must point out that all we can do is to try to

give as muchpservice as ,ossible within the limits of common sense."

NOT REALISTIC

When told that dissatisfaction had been expressed over the late- ness of renewing the suspended passenger service last Fall (the service started on December 15 hutlwinter .storuu- slit in- vembcr "You can't put a railroad into operation Just like you can turn on a tap-it is just not realistic."

Mr. Falrweather recalled the proposed transportation offer made. to the Provincial Govern- ment a few years ago to institute a bus service within the Prov- ince. He said the Railway was disappoint d that this plan was not accepted. but the matter was now a closed issue.

"Having chosen your course. we had to chose ours. The pas- scngcr business of the railway during the summer months is not essential but we are interested in the freight business. If we are to carry on the passenger business at a loss. it only hampers us in carrying out the essentials of our service." he said.

FURTHER DECLINE?

"I cannot see that there can be any other result than a continual withering up of the railway's pas- senger service in Prince Edward island, The heart and soul of tha

engage the Railway in any con- troversy over the matter. Speak- ing from a personal observation, however, he stated. "If a cause- way is to be built across the Northumberland Strait. it will have to be of a different type than that built at Cape Breton."

His reasons for 'ing this statement were: The fetch of the waves is much higher than the Canso. He observed that the water is not very deep in the Straits and a sudden wind can whip waves to a considerable height in a short time.

REEFER CAR SHORTAGE

"We are aware of the problem you experience here in getting a sufficient supply of heated cars during the winter months and we are meeting it to the best of our ability',' said Mr. Fairweather. "Of course you cannot expect that there can be all the cars that anyone wants at any partic-

MR. MASSEY DISPLEASED

Gov.-Gen.MayQuii Festival

OTTAWA (CPl - Governor-Gem ernl Massey may withdraw his patronage from the Dominion Drama Festival unless president David J. Onglcy resigns or makes a public retraction of his letter urging support of a distiIlery's products. .

Displeased and embarrassed. Mr. Massey took the unusual step of summoning the Toronto lawyer to Government House for a two- hotir mccting Saturday when the governor-general apparently laid down icrms for continued vice- regal patronage.

it is understood Mr. Massey first asked for a thorough accounting of the circumstances under which Mr. Ongley, used festival sta- tlonery bearing the vice--resal name to promote the products of Calvert Distillers Ltd.. main source of funds for the national theatrical competition.

Mr. Massey apparently then made it clear that he disapproved of the promotion and that his pat- ronsge could be continued only if Mr, Ongley resigned or retracted the letter which has offended sev- eral groups, including members of the United Church of Canada, par- liamentarians and Prime Minister St. Laurent.
