Weather Delays Smell Fishing Poor fishing weather during t.he past five days has completely cur- tailed the catching of smelts. it was learned yesterday from Mr. J.J. i.arabee, Director of Fisheries for the Province. 1 The mild weather has provided no ice fer the fishermen to work on and those that are caught in boats can not be taken to a freezing plant due to the bad roads. he explained. Fishermen nevertheless have had is good season in securing the 511. very fish. Previously published fig- tires to the end of November show- ed a large increase over those caught in 1940 with the price being higher. At the beginning of the season the price was as high as 22 cents a pound to the fisherman for gill net smelts. Bag net smells, the type usually caught at this time of year, are bringing the fisherman between five and six cents a pound. Gill net smells include only those around seven inches in length while bag net smells may be any size. Although price drops have been recorded in other fishing areas dur- ing the past few days, there have been no recent price changes here due to the fact that no fish have been caught. ,Grari'a-"(TIFF Annual Meeting The annual meeting of the Gratia Club of Central Christian Church was held at the home of Mrs. Preston Beck Thursday night.

VETERAN MAIL CARRIER - A correspondent writes: "The 34- year mail driving record establish- ed by Alban Gaudet of Miscouche is good but does not come up to the record of Nelson Williams of East Wiitshire. Nelson has been taking H. M. mails for 36 years over a. 20-mile route that feeds 72 boxes. This route begins at the Post Ollfice at North River, car- rlcs along the York Point Road to the Ferry Road. swinging around to ihe'post-office at. Cornwall. where a fresh stock of mail is picked up for delivery to residents of East Wiltshire. At East Wilt- shirc, Williams turns left on the Kingston highway and travels as far as the home of James Jewell. During all these years Williams has used a horse."

I From Jersey island. Prince Edward Island Jersey breeders, in search of the finest sire they can attain, may import one this year from Jersey Island in the English Channel the home of the Jersey breed. They also have several other purchasing prospects in view. The cattle on Jersey Island are said to be of the highest quality. During the war the breeders were forced by the Germans to reduce their cattle population and as a result they retained only their best. The local Jersey breeders have been stressing the importance of the sire in the herd since the im- portation of the old Jestar bull some years ago. Last fall at the Roslyn Park sale in Ontario they bid more than 66.000 on Brampton B. Violet's Beacon but Edison Mutch. who was assigned to buy the animal refused to bid high as he did not like several of the young bull's offspring. Price of lfitche-ner Paper is increased KITCHENER.

Highlight of the meeting was an interesting and instructive talk on the operation of newspapers and radio news services by Mr. George Praser. Public Relations Officer of the Provincial Government and well known Canadian newspaper man. Plans were also discussed for the holding of the president's dinner here in Charlottetown on Feb. 26. Special guest at the dinner will be Mr. Forbes A. Rankin, Winnipeg. National President of the Junior Chamber of commerce. 100 Delegates Expected More than 100 delegates are ex- pected to attend the Maritime Regional convention here in June, it was revealed by Charlottetown Jack Mor- ris. The convention was held last year in Yarmouth. Activities of the different Jaycce groups will be discussed and plans formulated for new projects. Act- ivities of the local group during the -past year included the holding of a safety week campaign, enter- tainment of tourists tied up at the Wood Islands Ferries during the railway strike last August and beautification schemes. Mr. Fraser. in hia' remarks stressed the value of the news- paper and radio news in society. He outlined the meaning of news as related to the newspaper and the ways in which newspaper men get the news. "News is generally obtained from two sources. the public and the private clearing houses," he said. "The reporter is the most important man on the staff. and there are two types of reporters, the beat reporter who looks for the expected and the assignment reporter looking for the unex- pected." he stated. "The press assoclation is ill? heartbeat of newspaper business." he added. He cited the various press services in the Dominion including the Canadian Press. British United Press, Reuters and International News Service. He explained the operation of syndicates and morllues in the newspaper business. Included un- der syndicates were milny 001- unmists. cartoonists and advice to the love lorn writers. News- paper morgues. he pointed out contained accounts of the lives of prominent citizens.

New Red Attack While United Nations, forces once more began fighting their way back along "heartbreak highway" south of Seoul, Red Chinese and North Korean forces launched a new attack in Central Korea east of Seoul. An estimated four to seven Com- munist armies-180.ooo men-began a power-drive on Woniu, 55 miles east and slightly south of Seoul. Gen. MacArthur's Tokyo war aummmry said these forces, origin- ally on the Korean east coast, were moving southwesterly and were pre aring for a concentrated strike at oniu, rail and highway centre. Capture of Wcnju. the General said, would put the Reds in a pos- ition to continue their attempted envelopment of U.

Will Aiiend Special Transporiaiion Meeting Today Mr. E. D. Reid, vice chairman of the Maritime Transportation Commission and Mr. B. Graham Rogers, Provincial representative of this body, will attend a special meeting of the Transportation Commission of the Mariikne Board of Trade in Moncton today. The Commission will meet to consider the recent application of the railways for further freight rate increases. The railways are asking for an immediate increase of five per cent and a further in- crease of an unspecified amount. Queried regarding the island delegates" stand on the question. Mr. Reid stated that he would naturally oppose any horizontal rat's of increases which bear heavily on those engaged in long distance hauls. "The continuation of application for increases on this basis will slowly but nevertheless surely put the Province out of business as far as the potato industry is con- cerned." he said. He pointed out that during the past five years the freight ratesto Toronto from Charlottetown had jumped from 40 cents a owt. to 56 cents a owt.. which amounts to an increase of about in cents a bushel. Coupled with thcsq increases were jumps in the rates across the border to Norfolk. Virginia. from 74 cents a owt. to 31.14 cents a owt. Such a rail rate has put us out of business as far as rail haul is concerned, he stated. He added that only the cheap water rate has kept Island grow- crs in the potato market of Nor- folk and the Southern states. The water rate runs from 40-50 cents a owt.

Campbell, K.C., ywho acted as counsel for the Com- mission. Mr. Keir Clark. Montague. a member of the Legislative As- sembly for the 3rd District of King's was the first witness in be heard. Mr. Clark's name had appeared in testimony by Wil- fred Watterworth. and the wit- ness wished to correct any false impression which might have been gathered from that testi- mony. Mr. Clark introduced a sworn statement by Wattcrworth which said that there was no connection between his testi- mony that he had been visited in his office by Mr. Clark and Mr. J. Campbell just previous to election time, (1947) and his statement that he had liquor and cash in his possession. The statement continued by saying that at no time had he (Watterworth) had dealings with Clark in connection with the Fisherman's Loans. and at, n0 time during the election of 1947 had he had dealings with Clark or Campbell. Mr. Clark also referred to evi- dence given previously which start- cd that he had been in the office of the Fisherman's Loan Board just previous to his election. He staied that he had been called in to the office by officials and had gone there to answer ques- ilons regarding applications for loans. He said that he had slat- ed at the time that he did not think any of the applicants were reliable. The witness continued by sav- ing that. he had then left the of- fice and after checking a num- ber of loans had thought them suspicious. He had found that loans granted by both Mr. Geo. Seville and Dr. Grant were sus- trucks. because some 79.000 units were imported. wh-lie 31.000 Canad- ian ears were marked for export. other figures: There are '.!.53'lm0 registered cars and trucks-1.839.000 of them passenger cars-on Canadian roads. nearly 7.50.000 more than a year ago.

A short time afterwards he was told that Dr. Grant had met Mr. Watierworth on a train to Charlottetown and had again re- fused to sign the papers. After his election, Mr. Clark stated that he had gone in to the office of the Fisherman's Loan Board and warned Mr. Saville againsi the Waiterworth loans, and asked him to discontinue all loans where Mr. Waiierworih was involved as agent. Mr. Clark also said that he understood that at the time of his call on Watterworih, when he was canvassing for the election. Watterworih had been faced wlih financial ruin due to his family's taking money from the cold storage business. Wailer- worth had said that because Of his connection with his lawyer. who disapproved of the election of the two canvassers. he was unable to,assist openly in their election.

The witness said that this had comprised five loans each for 5200, and gave the names of the applicants. Mrs. Higsoh slated that the cheque had been cashed, and that two of the applicants had stari- cd paying back the loans. The toiai amount. paid back was 351.
