FREDERICTON, July 1g_(cp) -—-The use of transportation ser- vices as agencies to bring down costs to Maritime consumers and boost industry in the seaboard area was recommended to the Royal Commission on Transport- ation here today,

Submissions from the New Brunswick Government and the Saint John Board of Trade urged lower freight rates, extension of the rate reductions embodied in the Maritime Freight Rates Act; of 1927 and construction of a can- al across the Isthmus of Chig- necto linking Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

The Government brief also put in a protest against the general increase of 21 per cent in freight rates given the railways last year. It favored the principle of sub- sidies to provide the Maritime: with transportation costs at a level which they consider neces- sary to move their goods info Central Canada.

These submissions were deliv-

ered as the commission under Hon. W. F. A. Turgeon opened New Brunswick sittings in this

capital after receiving evidence in Halifax. Earlier. the three-man Commission made a tour of the West in its broad inquiry into Canadian transportation problems.

The Commission goes from here to Charlottetown. ,opening its Prince Edward Island hearings next Monday.

Heroine ls Lucky She ls Lett-llanded

MONTREAL, July 18 -— (OP) — Barbara Ann Barry, 10-year-old heroine who plucked her baby brothel" from the path of an on- rushing electric train in nearby Mackayville last week, today is able to tell of her adventure only because she is left-handed.

Surgeons at the Montreal Neur- ological Institute said today that the girl would have been speech- less for life had she been a right- handed child.

Barbara and her two-year-old brother, John, were struck a glancing blow by a train and hurl- ed l5 feet into a ditch when she tried to lift her brother off the track.

She suffered a skull fracture and surgeons had to operate over the left side 0f her braiif.

In right-handed persons, doctors explained, the left side of the brain controls speech. They said they were sure she would never be able to talk again after the operation.

However, ss soon as she was conscious following the delicate six-hour long operation, she asked for a popsicle and talked to pat- ients. nurses and reporters.

Baffled, the surgeons called in her father who told ihemjarbars was left-handed.

In hopital today. Barbara and her brother wem chipper in their bandages and recovering fast from their brush with death.

' See lied Plans lietaaied To Meet Vatican Moves

By WILLIAM L. RYAN

(Amoclated Press Staff Writer)

World Communism appears to have re'vlved its "outstretched hand" policy as a weapon of coun- tar-attack against a. bold Vatican offensive.

The Communists apparently ,are fearful that their campaign to penetrate the strong Roman Catholic ranks of Europe will be stopped dead in its tracks by the -Vatican decree commanding Rom- an Catholics to avoid Communist taint.

The French Communist Party issued the signal during the week- end. An echo was heard in Italy, where the Communists have been strongest anywhere outside the Russian orbit.

"We will continue our policy of

Mr. Smith MacFarlane, Harring- ton, president of the Association, presided.

A committee was appointed to survey the building and recom- mend necessary alterations.

A number of applications have been received for the position of ‘manager of the store and Lhese are being considered by the dir- ectors .

_ As originally decided at the or- ganlzation meeting, the sum of $20,000 will be required to estab- lish the initial business. .

A drive for share capital will be inaugurated and the directors and members of the membership com- mittee will canvass their immediate districts within the next two weeks.

"We expected that a. majority of the farmers and consumers in the Charlottetown area who are inter- ested in the co-operative move- ment will support this effort to es- tabiish a co-operntive store in Charlottetown," Mr. MacFarlane stated.

History At Rotary s.

image-Edward Island and the changing world" was the subject of an inspiring address at the Charlottetown Rotary Club yes-

erday by Mr. Frank MacKinnon,

.A., Principal of Prince of Wales College.

"Many observers of world hist- ory have examined the events of human progress and concluded that the worth of con-munities lies not in their size, wealth and pow- er, but in their contributions in relation to their advantages and in the happiness and integrity of their peoples." Mr. MacKinnon said. "Nations, provinces, cities and villages can be examined on this standard, and attempts at passing such judgment on many places are fashionable in all parts of the world today and are meeting with varying degrees of success and failure.

“We in this Province have often attempted to assess our commun- ity—for example when we are comparing its opportunities with those of other provinces or when we are negotiating in the flolcl of Dominion-Provincial relations. I am quite sure that the history oi Prince Edward Island, studied with an appreciation of natural ad- vantages and disadvantages. reveals that the Island has had a re- marka-bly successful past and that. her people have nothing to be ashameil""of in assessing their hrmeland or in comparing it with other regions. They should not. be

700 More Men Quit Jobs; Idle Now Total 15.341

By IVHCHAEL O’MABA

LONDON, July 18 - (OP) London's dock emergency today went from bad to a, little worse, both. on the labor front and in the

council rooms. Along the waterfront, where stevedores and lightermen are

striking in support oi the Canad- ian Seaman's Union, 703 more men quit to bring the official total of strike-idle to 15,341.

The dispute is entering its fourth week.

At a meeiing- of the British Shipping Federation the last hope that the strike would be settled shortly flickered out. The execu- tive committees of British unions had asked the Federation to a.r- range conciliatory talks between Lhe C.S.U. strikers and owners of two Canadian ships tied up in the port of London.

Following a routine gathering, a Federation official announced the irequest could not be entertained. l As the Labor Ministry did last ‘week, the Federation took the tstand that it could not interfere in a purely Canadian dispute.

Just what the next move would be - on the part of the govern- ment, the 05.11., British strikers, the National Dock Labor Board or the ship owners -- was not im- medlately clear.

It was understood that Canad- ian Pacific Steamshlps, which owns the Bcavcrbrae, and the Fur- ness Withy Company, agent for the Argomont, wcrerépresented at‘ the Shipping Federation meeting. Neither company commented on the latest strike moves. The hold- up in the docks began when the dockers refused to work these two Canadian ships which the C.S.U. insists are "black." The C.S.U. called the strike March 31 after Canadian owners signed contracts with the rival Seafarers‘ Interna- tional Unlon (AFJ...) .

The two ships still were not be- ing worked today as some 7,000 servicemen worked vessels. Despite

the efforts of the troops, 71 ships lay idle and seven were under-l manned.

OTTAWA. July l8 (OP) - Cansda. one of the world leaders in atomic research, has been stricken with uranium fever. The results are spectacular.

The Dominion. three-quarters covered by the mineral-rich pre- cambrian shield, is in the throes of a uranium rush that ls no less exciting than the romantic Klon- dike gold boom that. ushered in the 00th century.

Hundreds oi prospectors are stalking the rugged hinterlands, watching their getger counters for reaction that will indicate pres- ence of radio-active minerals in the earth below.

‘Fhoussn’ of claims have been staked from Quebec to the Pacific oossi. While production in most, cases is still years off, ii dicatio are that there is enough uran- ium-bearing ore to maintain Can- ada as a leading producer of raw materials for atomic research.

One expert on the subject said that the most promising discover- ies in the world have been made in Canada.

The Dominion-owned field at Great Bear Lake in the Northwest Territories remains the father of all uranium deposits in Canada, and is one of the three largest in the "worhi.
