(OP) —— High- ways ~Minister Smith of Nova Scotia said Wednesday the great. est challenge facing the Atlantic provinces road-building industry is how to increase the percentage of dust-free surface. Mr. Smith, addressing the open“ biog-session of the Eastan Can- klfiighways Association con- "vention here, said that of 38,000 , miles of road in the Atlantic prov- inces only 5,500 miles or 15 per cent is free of mud and dust. “This is the greatest challenge the indudtry faces," he ,said. Ways must be found of providing 'mudAfree and dust-free surfaces 'on the 85 per cent of our mileage which now has no such surface.

These include Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Kenya, and Southern Rhodesia. On arrival in England the stu- dents 'are posted to various forms throughout the United Kingdom depending upon the particular as- pect of agriculture In which they are most interested. In addition the young farmers are given every opportunity to travel in or- er to become acquainted with all phases of English rural life.

EGG REPORT , , In a chicken-and-egg report, the Russians said isotopes showed that calcium to form eggs-hells comes from a hen’s skeleton. Radioactive atoms could be used to track air and water mas- ses and so help in weather pre- dictions—and later perhaps even control the Weather—Dr. Libby said. Sticking harmless amounts of radioactivity into money could distinguish the real bills from phoney ones. Radioactive iodine can measure thyroid gland activity, and if se'a- sonal variations in thyroid activ- ity are related to future milk pro- ductivity. farmers can very early weed out uneconomic calves.

' Companies Stall Decision/- ‘ Ask Freight Roles Boost By ROBERT RICE , CanadiamPress Staff Writer MONTREAL (CP) —- The big contract squabble between can- ada’s major railways and their 130,000 nonmperating employees moved Wednesday t o w a r d a head-on climax from We direc- tions. The railways, stalling a deci- SIon on, a 14~cenvt hourly wage in- crease proposed by a conciliation board majority report, steered to Ottawa and the Board of Trans- por; Commissioners in a bid for higher freight rates to meet a fatter wage bill in.the future. And the unions, annoyed at the railways for what they called “beating around the bush," began preparing strike ballots to send across the nation. ‘ The railways’ move to get a 20-per-cent freight rate boost—- enough to cover a $60,000,000 wage bill—is expected to take at least eight weeks to reth a de- cision. The unions will take about the same time to compile the re- sults of their strike poll and—if the need arises’—set a strike date. PRESS CONFERENCE . In an unusual action, the top railway brass called a press con- ference to explain why they told Labor Minister Starr they could neither accept not reject at thi§ time the majority recommenda- tion of the federal conciliation board. ‘ The board proposed a 14cent wage increase -— less than half what the 15 nonop unions origin- ally demanded 10 months ago. This Would cost the railways $38.- 000,000 a year—and if extended to all railway employees would amount to $60,000,000.

' ' The railway actionbefore the Board of Transport Commission- ers in Ottawa—~enpected in eight to 10 days—reverses the pattern of past contract settlements. They now are seeking a. freight rate increase before—instead of nfter -—ag-reeing to higher pay. “We have to be assured of in- creased revenue before we can look at the possibility of accept- ance,” said Mr. Gordon. “In other words," added his CPR counterpart, N. R. Crumph “the two must be tied together. If wage rates ‘\increase the freight rates must increase auto- matically." In their letter to Mr. Starr, the two railway presidents said if their bid for greater revenue in successful, they would be able to view the conciliation report in I “somewhat different lith ." Asked what this meant, Mr. Gordon replied: “Then we will invite the unions in and we will have the majority award and the minority report— both reports before us—and we will use those as the basis of ar- riving at a wage settlement”, UNION STATEMENT The unions cmmtered with I statement from their chief negotii amt, Frank H.

Premier Stanfield of-Nova Sco- tia said the increase, if granted, “would advenwa affect the prov- ince.” While the Nova Scotia gov- ernment has not" had time to con- sider the announcement “it is ex- pected the gavermnent would‘ve- quest the Maritime Transporta- tion Commision to oppose any ap- plication." Premxer Matheson of Prince favor any freight rate increase P o uction r cl favorably with those in the rest of Canada. ' ‘ 3. Maritime hogs equal the best produced in Canada in quality. 4.
