"MY THREE ANGELS". thc title role convicts, Ivan Dowling, "The play was extremcly En-l joyable," Miss Pamela Stirlingm Regional Adjudicator said lnsti night in her observations following the presentation of "My Thrcc Angels” by The Lillie Theatre Guild of Charlottetown in the Aud- itorium of Queen Charlotte High School and directed by Bert Fos- ter. This is the first of three plays in the Prince Edward Island He gional Drama Festival. The choice of play was favour- ably spoken of as "humorous. log- ical. and loving and very French, apart from the horrible uncle." Miss Stirling said that the dialo- gue was good and the characters well cast. The director. Bert Fos- ter was complimented on his very: successful handling of the show! The set was described as "nice-I ly stylized” with the costumes blending well with the set. Dealing with the cast of charac- ters Mlss Stirling said that Peter Shams as Felix Ducotcl and Mar- jorie Ranahan, as Emil'e, his wife. acted as a friendly and attractive couple.

Tuplin chaired a panel. the mem- bers of which were: Dean Read. Science Service Laboratory; Ian Rankine, Island Fertilizer Co.,I Robert Farquheraon, Canada Pack ers; William Drake. farmer. Haz- elbrook; Bruce Jones and Arthur Moore, farmers from Pownal. Mr. Read who has done exten- sive research on the lurnip maggot recommended the application of Heptachlor or Alrin which he said should be applied at the rate of five lbs.. per acre in a five inch band about one and a half inches below the seed in the drill. HEPTACHLOR BETTER In a review of the results from the experiments carried out. Mr- Reari said that 1-Ieptachlor gave a 93 per cent control as compared 80 per cent control by Aldrin. At the same time he noted that sur- face applications of Heptachlor at five lbs. per acre gave between 00-90 per cent control when appli- ed about ten days after thinning. Indications are that when a fert- llizcr-Aldrin mixture is applied broadcast, the chemical is so dilut- ed that it becomes ineffective. Ex- perimenlal work carried on in Eastern Canada has shown no Turnip Root Maggot Discussed At Pownol Agriculture Meeting significant control with broadcast Aldrin-fertilizer mixtures. NOTHING NEW In the panel discussion it was disclosed that the turnip maggot has been present in the Island crop for at least 50 years. The first in- vestlgational work however was not started'until 1930. The root maggot is a source of trouble throughout Europe, U.S.A. and other parts of the world besides Canada. The infestation in this Province is not confined to any particular area. It is general throughout. Dealing with the habits of the insect it was leaned that wet heavy soil is conducive to its pro- pagaiion. Early planting, it was shown tends to retard the spread of the pest. it is usually in the late crop that infestations are heaviest. Farmers have been trying var- to four mixtures for a numbe of years. Various methods of ap- plication have also been tried. For some time it was thought that by mixing the chemical with the fert- llizer that a measure of control was obtained, however the re- presentatives of fertilizer compan- ies present. stated that they do not recommend Aldrin mixed fert- ilizers to farmers but will satisfy gltiicir demand for it when request- A.

Early Voting In Algeria Is Promised PARIS (AP) - Premier Guy Mallet told the National Assembly Thursday his government will hold free elections in Algeria as quickly as possible. It will be the first stage in sweeping political, economic and social reforms in the North African territory. Reporting on his talks last week with Algerian leaders. Mollet. did not elaborate on the overnrnent's plans. He merely out ined general objectives and said details would be announc d later. The premier said the existing division of Algerian voters and representatives into the chambers would be ended before the new elections. At present. Europeans and Moslems vote for separate lists of candidates. In the forthcoming balloting. Mullet said, all voters will be on s single polling list. Steps will be taken to ensure an ” t ” rep- resentation" of the two commu- nlties. The premier gave no hint of what these steps might include. One report is that Mollet intends to limit the vote to persons who can pass a literacy test in French or Arabic. That would bar most of Algeria's 9.000.000 Moslems.

Early in the 10th century, at the time of the Industrial Rev- olution. the old "Bloody Code" provided hanging for 220 offences, maiw of them relatively trivial. Mass public hangings at Tyburn Tree near the corner of Hyde Park were occasions for public holidays in London accompanied by Hogarthlan scenes of drunk- ness. fights. catcalls and generally loose behavior. As late as 1814 a man was hanged in Essex for cutting down a tree. Larceny by post office em- ployees was a hanging crime un- til 1836 and burglars were hanged until 1837. Ultimately the Criminal Code was revised and public hanging went out about the middle of the century. France reported milder weather but freezing temperatures still plagued most of the rest of Europe. The contrasts were startling.

LONDON (AP!-Princess Mar- garel took tea Thursday night with the Anglican dean of St. Paul's Cathedral seemingly unaware of published reports that she planned to become a Roman Catholic. Palace and ecclesiastical sources neither confirmed nor specifically denied the story. Dcnials came from other quar- ters, however. The Duke of Nor- folk. leading Roman Catholic lay- man. described as Sheer non- sese” reports he discussed the conversion of a noted English per- sonallty with Pope Pius last week. In a quiet university town. an Anglican clergyman who has often given Margaret spiritual advice said it was "wholly unlikely" that the 25-year-old princess would em- brace thc Roman Church. In making this statement he asked that his name not be published. This aftemoon Princess Mar- garet drove from Clarence House to the City to have tea with Dr. Walter Matthews. 74-year-old dean of St. Paul's. With the princess was one of her closest friends. Lady Elizabeth Cavendish. 29. sister of the Duke of Devonshire. PALACE REFUSES COMMENT After the tea the vivacious prin- No Comment On Reports From Buckingham Palace cess attended a concert in aid of the cath ” -i's choir school and music. The conversion reports origi- nated in the New York Daily News. They were reported by two London papers. Buckingham Palace refused to comment on the story. A secretary to Dr. Geoffrey Fisher. An hblshop of Canterbury. said: "We have heard nothing about it." A spokesman for Bernard Car- dinal Griffin, Archbishop of West- minster and head of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in Britain, said "any inquiries must obviously be addressed to Clarence House." Clarence House. the princess" resi- dence. referred all calls back to Buckingham Palace. The story undoubtedly had its beginning when the Duke of Nor- folk had an audience with the Pope. There were several reports in con- n tion with his trl to Rome ill the he discussed e future of a leading personality: (2) that he was seeking annulment of his own marriage to the duchess. In An- glican; (3) that he went to inter- cede on behalf of a friend who wanted an annulment. The 47-year- old duke denied all these reports. plied that this still is a matter to be determined. At the January conference, the federal government offered to pay half the cost of a health insurance scheme covering hospital and diag- nostlc services. It excluded men- tal and tuberculosis patients. The Saskatchewan division's brief pressed for an adequate fed- eral-provincial hospital insurance plan that would make no distinc- tion between various kinds of ill- nesses. but would cover every sick person.
