Walter Jones. who took a; his eubiect "Green Pastures." The speaker talked in general on the grasses of both sea and land, showing their comparative 1m. portance to man. ‘ Firstly. a sketch was roads of m6 W17 historic importance of the Gramineae family to civilisation, showing how fmtn earliest time: Pastures were avidly sought after 1B man's chief source of subsis- tence. What food is more impart- ant than milk, made as it were in the living factory of the oow, which feeds vfwn the grasses as its source of energy and production. In tact. so lmrportant is the grass frmliy that it i responsible for the production of geven-tenthg of all the arenltli of the world. The speaker ventured to say, however. that the grasses of the sea are still 0N important than those of the find, and prophesied that the time will coitne when man will rely on them for his daily food to a much larger extent than hereofore. T“ ‘ on: . ,' Aisle. form the elementary pasture of the sea. Nearly all small fishes feed upon them. Seafoods are perfect foods, as is instanced by the appetizing oyster, which“; its tum feed-s upon the ali-innportant diatoms. Plankton, another type of we food. may eventually become a human food; as experiments towards this end are now being conducted. From diatomaoeous earth comes much of our lubri- cating oil. Irish moss also gives us many useful pharmaceuiic products. ‘ _ In conclusion. the {render showed how the very settlement of America itself resulted primarily, not from the lure of the furtradie. as many surmise, but because of the search for seafood. Mr. Reginald R. Bell, M. L. A., very capabiy expressed to the Premier the appreciation of the meeting for his informative and thought-provoking address.

It said 4t was taking "approp- riate steps" tn get the investiga- tion under way and to give intel- ested parties a chance to file their submissions. with the mmission- ers. Besides the railways, it was ex- pected, the chief among the par- tiee concerned would be the seven Provinces-all except Ontario lid Quebec-which opposed the rall- _ ways’ application for general 30- per-cent increases in the rate ease concluded by the ‘Board a fort- night ago. Decision, of the Board in that case-the award of a. il-per-aent increase-touched off the forth coming inquiry, which was expect- ed to produce an overhaul of the whole rate structure of the Domin ion. The opposing seven Imvlnoga protested the award and oailed on the Cabinet to delay its implemen- tation untll they could file a for~ mai appeal. The cabinet refused to hold up the increase and decided instead to order the general _iii- vestigstion. _ . EDMONTON, April iii -.

He taught school at Dorchester, Petit- codiac and Salisbury before being admitted to the Bar of New Bruns- wick ln 1913. He practiced law at Petltcodia: before coming to Moncton in 1916. Prominent in politics, he was an active supporter of the Liberal Party and held office in the party association at various times.

This interest totalled 043,333,000, leaving 015,905,000 net deficit. The interest was made up of $23,821,000 on funded debt securi. ties held by the public and 030,002.- 000 on Government loans. In the report, C. N. R. president B. C. Vaughan noted that the Government line had handled tne heaviest volume of peace-tiara ‘riffic in its history. Its freight tonnage had been greater than even the busiest years of the war. The unprecedented load of freight—$.28i.000 tons-was ai- most double that of 1039. It had been handled despite a continent- wlde shortage of roiling stock, There was a reduction in pas- senger travel as a whole. but hOll day travel had increased. The company's 12 hotels contin ued to operate at high levels of business. Mr. Vaughan reported and the Canadian National Ex- press and Canadian National Tele- graphs had their biggest years. Ex- presssshlpmenfs were up 8.5 pei cent over 1040, while the Teio graph Department handled almost 13,000,000 messages-the largest number on record. Mr. Vaughan said taxes were up by 02,705,000. This was largely be- cause of a settlement of taxation claims by the cities of Halifax and Saint John, N. 3.; resumption of provincial taxation in Ontario and Quebec at the expiration of their wartime agreements with the Do- minion Government, and the Un- ited states retirement and unem- ployment taxes. Passenger revenues amounted to $43,017,000, a drop of 07,110,000 from 104d and down 010,738,000 from the wartime peak. Freight revenues of 0343.08.00! were up 043,208,000 aver the prev- ious yesr and exceeded the peak war year of 1044 by 017,082,000. lt was explained that about $21,- 000,000 of the freight revenue re- sulted from oartain freight-rate increases granted in the United States. These affected United States lines of the C. N. R. system and were followed by related in creases in Canada on lnternationdi traffic and competitive export and import traffic. Th0 report said C.N.R. capital expenditure for new equipment de- livered in i947 was 011,806,000. In- ‘ “ ‘ were 26 diesel-electric loco motives, six steam locomotives, l,- 508 freight cars and two coaches.

Other special guests at the meet- ing’ ‘were Ml‘. J.C. Campbell of Haiifaig District Traffic and Bales Manager for Trans-Canada Air- lines, and Mr. Don Clarke. Mr. MacLaren, although born in Ottawa, is really a Westerner as be was only six years of age when his family moved to Calgary and later to Vancouver. After graduation from high school, he entered _Mc- Crill University. Mr, Macmi-en joined the Royal Flying Corps in Toronto in May, 1017. His war record in the air was eiuceptionaliy brilliant and he is one of Canada's famous quartette of war birds of World War 1 wrho together shot down more enemy planes than any other aviators in the war. a total of 230. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order. the Military Cross and bar, the Distinguished Flying Cross. He joined the Canadian Air Puree in May. 1919, and played a prominent part in the formation of that aer- vice, retiring with the rank of Honorary Wing Commander, Retaining his interest and activ- ity in aviation, particularly in de- velopments on the Pacific Coast. he became Assistant General Man- ager of Canadian Airways Limited at Vancouver in 1028. a position which he’ relinquished to join Trans-Canada Air Lines in 1937. He became Superintendent of Pas- senger Service in 1941 and Director of Passenger Service in 1046. The Air Cadet League of Can- ada has been a vital interest to Mr. MacLaren since 104i. As Pro- vincial Chairman he organized the Province of Manitoba and in 1943 he became President of the Do- minion organizatian. serving a term of tvro years. Mr. MacLaren is still keenly interested and serves on the National Board of Directors and as Vice Chalmian ori the Manitoba. executive. Following the guest speaker's address. discussions were carried out and irnany qucstioriswere dir- ected to the speaker concerning air travel in Canada, to which ha. replied to readily. The meeting was brought to a close with The King. llse Nitro-Glycerine To Open Safes In Oil Oompaiiy Offices For the first time in the orim- inai history of the Province, nitro- glycerliie. the safe-breakera “soup" was used over the iveek-end in forcing open the safe of the rving Oil C0mpany—iocated on the City's outskirts-and in a futile attempt to open the safe of the Imperial Oil office located nearby. The sum of $150 was all that the burglars got for their work at the Irving Oil Company office owing to the habit. of the Company's drivers of taking their Saturday coiicctloii- home with them be- cause of he early closing of the banks on that riay. ‘Yesterday R. C. M. P. men were busily engaged in going over every square inch of surface not only of the safe but of the office furniture in both offices in their search for finger prints. Photographs were also being taken. City Police, who are collaborat- ing with the R.C.M.P. said yester- day it was their opinion that the "blowing" of the Irving Oil Com- pany's safe was done by "experts" with considerable experience. The operation was carried out by drill- ing a. hole in the safe and insert-- lng the nitro-glycerine and a fuse. The explosive was their covered with soap and the, fuse ignited. Entrance was effected. the police believe, by the use of a celluloid key as none of the windows lior the locks on the doors had ap- parently been tampered with. The third break took place at the F. W. Woolworth establish- ment, locetcd on Queen Street, where thieves gained entrance from the roof through a skylight which they apparently had pried open by means of a crow bar or some such instrument. From there they made their way‘ down through the office and into the main store. The thieves made off with about three dozen pairs of nylon stock- ings, some men's socks and other small articles. Police stated yesterday, that access can be made to the roofs on that block by means of a fire esca at the back of the Royal Ban of Canada building, anti jumping -from there onto the flat roofs. "if barbed wire or some such barrier would be placed sl the roofs at this point. they w not be able to do this," members of the City polite force said yester- d sy. op to a late hoia- last night, no arrests had been made in connec- tion with say of the time breaks. Addresses Rotary OnAlr Passenger Transportation ‘Ilhs Maritime Provinces have made “a tmrnendous contribution" towards the development °l all‘ travel in Canada, Mr. DR. Mc- Laren, director of passenger serv- loe for Trans-Canada Air Lines. told the Charlottetown RotnfY Club members at -their svackly luncheon yesterday. He warmly complimented Capt. Carl Burke and Capt. 11.8. Jones iii connection with the splendid service provided by the Maritime Central Airways, also all the pilots and staff. Mr. McLmren was a furious Alr Ace of World War One and has been actively engaged in various aid developmentactlvlties in Can- ada ever since. In .ialer_ years he played a large part in the develop- ment of the Air Cadet League of Canada. Mr. MacLei-en outlined the de- velopment af air passenger services in the Dominion and gave several hints of improvements soon to come into effect. Mr. MacLas-en pointed out the three main features that people expect in an efficient air line, and what. they are doing to provide these requirements. The first lhinf; that the people demand is safe transpoatation. and snore money and time has been spent by air line services, to insure these safety measures than any other medium of transportation, and that a high degree of inspection is carried out by government controls, to see that these precautions are carried out. Reliability of air schedule is also necessary, and this. the speak- er said "would have been achieved long ago except for the weather, and we expect to triumph even over this within the next three years, by adopting a system of instru- ment landing, electronic approach and airborne radar. which is now being installed 1n most major air- ports in Canada. Heated wings and propellers are also being ad- opted to prevent ice formation and the more general use of pressurized cabins for long distance air travel". “Comfort in seats. air conditioning and good meals are the third fact- ors", he continued.

During the course of his talk Mr. MacLarcn paid a very high tribute to ttlie early Canadian air operators who paved the way for today's modern service.
