The plil'8de was announced by Jean Diamond, but her detailed descrip- tion of each of the very up-to-date i.-ostumes was just about drowned out as the audience loudly express- ed its appreciation of the models, viho glided on and off the stage and displayed their charms in a i'il:inflEI' that would have done cre- dit to a Paris mannequin.

DlS('.llSSed in i The failure of the Provincial Goveruunnt to pay out loans to lohlter fishermen to compensate than for losses suffered in the storms of last May was explained in the Lqiaisture yeaterdsy by Hon. Eugene Cullen. Minister of Ind I; and Natiral Resources. Mr. Cullen stated that though he had at least two conferences with Federal officials in Ottawa and received certain assurances, when his started to work on the matter he found that we had "no basis for a Justified claim". The losses, he said, were just above the normal in "the Tignish area though they were consider- ably higher in Ruetlco. However, he also pointed out that in Tig- nlsh the fishermen enjoyed the biggest catch and the greatest amount of money in the past five years. He also said despite the losses in Rustico fishermen there took in the second highest catch in nva years. Mr. Cullen stated that individ- ual boats were setting out many more traps than in past years and quoted ngures to indicate that the number had grown from the 215 traps per boat. in 1932 to 325 in 1961. Equipment Figures He also quoted the number of traps set out and recovered in the three sreas,pa.rticularly affected. In Tignish North there were 15,321 set out and 10,561 recovered for an approximate 30 percent. loss. Tlgnish South had 13,075 traps out and 8,424 recovered for a loss of 35 percent. The Rustlco area set. out 13,142 and were able to recover only 6,416 for a loss of over 49 percent. He said that a loss of around 30 percent was normal. - The total catch of lobsters, which he termed the "backbone of the fisheries", was 8,459,000 pounds last year. In 1948 it had been 6,- 520,100 pounds and the only time since then it had been higher was in 1950 when the total catch rose to 9,098,000 pounds. Mr. Cullen said that Federal aid for the lobster-men could have been received if he had been will- ing to state the situation constit- uted a dlsast. beyond the power of the Province to deal with, But he added that he had been iii- formed that the Federal authori- ties would share in any losses to the Province resulting from loans t fishermen. . Development Policy The Minister read a letter re- The need of a. loan policy whereby fishermen could obtain money to get back into business after losing much of their equip- ment was urged in the Legislature last night by R. R. Bell, Leader of the opposition as he rose to take part. in the budget debate. Mr. Bell pointed out that in Nova Scotia. there is a policy whereby the Provincial Govern- ment will provide 50th; of the loan and the Dominion Government the other 5095. for a period cover- ing three years. He advised the Island Govern- ment to adopt a similar policy and reminded them that the fish- ermen at Itustico last spring had suffered a loss of 4915. of their gear. He said that the Rustico men were ready to take on that loss but they wanted some time to make it up and this could be done by a three year loan. The Leader of the Opposition referred to the Budget as the "Darby Surplus of 1953”: He went on to charge that the various Ministers had kept back money allocated to them last year so that there might be a surplus this year. He charged that part of the sur- plus was created at the expense of teachers and the aged. Mi. Bell stated that the Premier re- frained from spending s30,000 in the Department of Education al- though the money was voted in the estimates last session and that the Minister of Health and Wei- fare kept back s168,000 voted to spend on the needy between the ages of 05 and 70. In his discussion on Old Age Assistance, the Leader of the Op- position stated that the people in this Province were not treated nearly as well as those in Nova sootia or New Brunswick. "In those pi-oviinoea they get from :35 to :37 a month while here they get 322.00", he stated. He suggested that the Government be a little more generous to them. Refer: To Deflclla Mr. Bell stated that he was de- lighted to see that the Government buqeted for a surplus this year but reminded the members of the records of the past years when an- nual deficits of a million or more dollars were incurred and of the deficits which the Government was ihcing in the years ahead. He pictured the next four years as years of heavy expenditures he- esuae of the Trsrie Canada High- way oornmitmerits. the bridges that must be built and because the hand cuts from Ottawa had now reached their peak and could be expected to decline from here on in. . I The under cf. the Opposition Droboaed that the Government take over the Maritime Electric Comp- any. He suggested that the com- pany could be purchased for Ni.- 000.000 and that the Government could spend another 50,000,000 to provide electricity for the whole province. He stated that the time would come when the vecurure would prove profitable and that borrowing the Aid To Lobster Fishermen Legislature ceiviffroui the Pilheriaa Devel- opment Committee v,”ich stated that the committee being primar- ily ooncemed with long range measures for the development of fisheries did not cmsider the problem of immediate relief with- in its proper field. It noted that the damage to equipment by storms was one aspect of the problem of social security for fish- ermen. , The letter said that the com- mittee did not consider the ag- gregate losses of lobster fishing equipment last year to constitute s disaster on the national or even Provincial level, but it recognized that considerable hardship was suffered by individual fishermen. lt suggested that any relief given in special cases should be given by a Govunment agency concern- ed with reliet rather than through one which is connected with fish- eries. Or it might. be done through loans to restore the earning power of a. fisherman by enabling him to purchase the same number of traps he formerly had. However, the Minister said that he had investigated the four worst cases in the Tignish area and found that in three of them the fisher-rnen did not even own the traps lost; they belonged to a packer. In the fourth case the man had stopped fishing. One case in Rustlco showed that the fisherman had suffered a severe loss and as a result landed only about one-third his normal catch. But Mr. Cullen said that in view of his investigation generally he could see no reason for the formation of a general policy on the basis of these records. carapace Measurement He paid high tribute to the people of Rustico when he said "they are law-abiding fishermen. not poachers". while he was dis- cussing changes in the carapace measurements of lobsters. At. the same time he remarked that Prince County had the lowest average of market size lobsters on the East Coast of Canada. He said that the, change to caruipace meas- urement from the previous over- all length was made to conform with the selling requirements in Massachusetts and Maine. Mr. Cullen maintained that the larger lobsters were allowed to grow the fewer it took to make a case for the canners and far fewer were required in June than in May. He believed that they had an excellent chance to grow last spring and for that reason pre- dlcted I. good catch this year. Need Of Loan Policy For Fishermen Stressed By Leader Of -Opposition necessary amount of money to fin- ance the project would not affect the credit of the Province. He stat- ed other Provlncu were doing the same thing and pointed out that Manitoba had only recently pur- chased a 352,000,000 plant. Urges Road Improvement Mr. Bell urged that something be done about the road frorri Cornwall to Charlottetown. He stated that the road was not fit. to travel on and it. always seemed as though the main thoroughfares in the Province were in 9. tiuii-moli. He stated that there was a great need to complete the road from Cavendish to New Glasgow this year. He asked that the whole stretch of road be paved and that there would not be a two mile stretch left untouched in the cen- ire. The Leader of the Opposition stated that the Minister of Public Works and Highways was the hardest working minister in the Government and that even this past winter he spent sl40,000 in remov- ing snow although there was no snow io be removed. He stated that there would have to be a great deal more money spent on the Trans Canada High- way and there would have to be a bridge built at West River unless the Trans Canada Highway were coming over the Churchill hills. Mr. Bell charged that a fund of 3200.000 for the tourist industry had been set up a few years ago and that this matter had never been handled properly. He asked why it. was that there was never a report on this matter tabled in the House. He pointed out that this fund was set up so that people could borrow it to build cabins but that many people were not living up to the agreement of paying back the money at a reasonable rate of in- terest. The Leader of the opposition noted that. the reduction in the price of potatoes this spring meant that Island farmers were losing about 35,000,000. "That money is needed here in a very bad way," he stated as he noted that many fairn- ers were Wm-ried about their fin- ancial conditions. He stated that last. year Island farmers borrowed one and one quarter niillioin dollars in a period of nine months. "Last year our 10,000 farmers borrowed more than the 46.000 farmers in Nova Bcotia and New Brunswick," he said. Mr. Bell asked for further sup- port of the Credit Unions. noting that the Govermnent had cut down its annual grant by 31,500. He was afraid that the Government would cut off its grant to the Credit Un- ions altogether, but when inform- ed that the Government intended to continue its grant of 38.000 he expreued aaiilaction. The Leader of the Opposition stated that he had hoped some ar- nngernuit might have been work- ed out with lhe C.N.R. regarding trsnmortstiou, "I had hoped for ..E. lath Yesterday or Mrs. WM. Clark The death of Mrs. W. W. Clark In her 91:! year occurred in the P. E. Island Hospital on March 30, after a lengthy illness. The deceased was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Robins. her father being an the staff of the Dominion Government Sev- ings Bank in Charlottetown for many years until transferred to Qtiawa. and her mother the former Miss Catherine Wyatt of Dunstatfnage. Mrs. Clark's husband, who died about 25 years ago, was for many years City Clerk here and for some time local agent for the Plant Line Steamship Com- psny when that Company operat- ed two steamers weekly between Charlottetown and Boston. One son, Percy, also died some years ago. Three brothers also pre- deceased her: Edward Robins in Honolulu, Dr. T. C. Robin: and Mr. Fred Robins both of Char- lottetown. Surviving relatives are two nieces, the Misses Wands and Dorothy Wyatt of Summer- side and a nephew, Dr. T. E. E. Robina, City. The late Mrs. Clark was one of the original group of ladies from St. Paul's Parish Church and St. Peter's Cathedral who formed the Woman"; Auxiliary of the Angli- can Church in Canada in 1897 and for several years has been the only surviving member of that group. As an active mem- ber of the Queen Mary Needle Work Guild, her identity with the organization engaged her in- ierest for many years, as did also her association with the Im- perlal porder Daughters of the Empire. A lifelong member of St. Paul's Church, Mrs. Clark in her younger clays, gave her wholeheiirted support to many church activities. German Farm Helpers Arrive Ten German farm labourers ar- rived in Charlottetown last night to accept work '1. Island farms, The farmers who had placed orders through the local National Employment Office for the immi- grants were at the railway station to meet. thorn. An official of the Employment Service. Mr. Sinclair MacDonald was present to have agreements signed by the furners and workers, whereby a sum of money is deducted from each man's monthly wages to defray transportation costs from Ger- many. This is to repay monies jointly advanced by the Dominion and Provincial Governments to hnance the steamship fare of the workers. The newcomers were allotted to the following farmers in King's and Queen's Counties: T. .1. Kick- liam, M.P., Sourls West; Malcolm Me-Laughlin, Covehead; Lelth Mac- Milian, Coveheaci; Wilfred Mac- Donald. Brudenell; Albert Thomas, Covehead; Wallace Mallett, Union Road; Albert Holmes, Covehead; Roland Buntaln, Rustico; J. S. Allen, Coveheud; Major Mcftae, Central Royalty. More German farm workers are expected in April, and a few Dutch immigrants are also ex- pccted before cropping time. About twenty-five Germans, who arrived here last year are still on Island farms. some arrangement whereby trans- portation could be speeded up and more modernized," he stated. He noted that Maritime Central Airways were doing a. splendid Job as was the ferry service between Wood Island and Caribou. He stat.- ed that this latter service, how- ever, must be improved. Nfld. Trade Mr. Bell stated that Island trade with Newfoundland was not what it should be and noted that the Government lost s30.000 last year with the Blue Peter line. He stat- ed that the Island had lost much of its Newfoundland trade through its operation of the ”Esinimo." He urged the Government to see to it that more people took ad- vantage of the facilities provided by the Vocational School. He stated that there seemed to be a difficulty in getting people to attend the Sclioo-l. Premier Jones replied that it was running night and day and that there were almost as many attend- ing as there were at Prince of Wales College. Killing Plant The Leader of the Opposition asked why the Government could not loan sl0,000 for the construc- tion of a killing plant in Charlotte- town. "Why not help out a killing pla.nt?", he asked. "You shouldn't be afraid of Canada Packers." "If the killing plant got a. little support Charlottetown could have ii Government inspected meet plant," he stated. He added that he heard a packing plant would be set up by a certain group if a kill- ing plant were constructed. Mr. Bell stated that iihe -killing plant project was backed by the Farmers Federation but the Pre- mier argued this point. Mr. Bell also urged the construc- tion or A dry dock here so that the workers might be carried over a certain time of year. He pointed out that the can of living in misr- lottetown was very high compared with other places and also that a laborer here got only 85 cents an hour compared with 95 cents in other Maritime, contra such as Amherst and Halifax, . Mr. Bell also urged that the Gov- emment re-open its artificial in- semination project. He stated that he hoped that the Minister of M- ricultura would see fit to start this unit aguin. 'lb this Premier Jones stated that the Minister (1 Attic- ulture here would do as mum so the other Provinces gr: dglg in fhiercgard Stating that the extra. fertility of the soil has done much to build up the agricultural economy of the Province Hon. Dougald MscKin- non yesterday stated it was the first time since he came into the Legislature that he had spoken in both the Draft Address and the budget debate. Mr. Macxinnon disagreed with other speakers and said he did not believe the farmers were too badly off and though he warned against taking a too optimistic view of things he thought the economy of the Province was sound, He also noted the difficulties to be encountered here in attempting to enter the industrial field "con- sidering where nature and geo- graphy have placed us." He, too. would prefer a. guaranty made to an existing company than have the Government enter the field of rural electricity. The Minister stated that when all the permanent works and bridges in the Province were taken into consideration he did not think we are very far in debt. Mr. Mac- Klnnon was speaking when the customary six olclock supper hour was reached and moved the ad- journment. other speakers- Several speakers were heard briefly in the Legislature yester- day as the budget debate is swiftly drawing to a close. It is expected that the House will prorogue Thursday. Mr. George Kitson, Second Queen's, expressed his pleasure at hearing the Minister of Industry and Natural esources say that the fishermen of Rustlco were law- abiding. "I was glad to hear that because they are in the District which I represent." However, he regretted that no aid was being granted fishermen as he believed that several of them who suffered storm losses last year should have had help. Mr. Harvey Douglas, Second King's, suggested there would be no difficulty in increasing the population of the Province if some way could be found to "keep the natural increase here." But to do this more industry here was necessary and either something should be started or some farm PAGE FIVI Budget Debate Continued in Mgslatig Yesterday courage young people to remain an the Island. As conci-eta suggestions he mentioned the former making of bricks done here and said that a grain elevator and flour mill would mean much. He thought the open- ing up of the at. Lawrence River Seaway project could mean that grain could be bought cheaply in the full and stored here. in deal- ing with fisheries he remarked that recently he had purchased some fillets and discovered that they had come from British Columbia. He asked why local fillets were not on sale and also wondered why more Newfoundland salmon was not available, Mr. Douglas was not in favor of the present system of electricity extension based on six users to It mile. Also he was not partial to the taking over of present plsnis by the Government. He said he preferred giving assistance to the existing plants to extend their lines to all roads where anyone was living. Recalls Grist. Mills Mr. Hubert Gaudei, First Prince, also recalled that years ago there were many grist. mills and won- dered why the Province had to import flour. "The one at Colemsii gives me better flour than I can buy anywhere else." He disapproved of "all the Gov- ernment help going to the drag- gers” and said that while the storm loss to fishermen last year was given when the season ended the fishermen learned that they had to cut away as many traps as were lost. He asked for more aid to the inshore fishermen. Mr. E. P. Foley, Filth Prince, humourously noted that the pres- ent Session of the House resembled the condition of the hockey play- offs.
