Shortly before the ship naming ceremony, the Bathurst Marine Lid., shipyard was officially opened by Premier Walter R ~ Shaw, who cut a ribbon and deciared the new industry of- * ficially open. The Premier said a new era in the economic life and ‘indus- trial development of the whole province was opening up.

They'll have to think more in terms of centimetres and me- tres, kilograms and litres than the long-familiar inches, yards, pounds and gallons. Concluding. that such coun- tries as Canada and the United States are “out of step” in the basic field of weights and mea- surements, Britain has decided to go along with Continental Europe’ and most other coun- tries in switching gradually to the metric system. Douglas Jay, board of trade president, Monday called on Britain's» industry to shift into the metric system. product by a product, until this system will become the primary unit within 10 years. The government.will join with industry to ease the change- over while British school chil- dren start doing their main calculations in the new system. NO GREAT SHOCK Simce,. many manufacturers already prodiice in terms of metres, mainly for the Euro- peam market, the change-over Medieval Display Marks By DOUG MARSHALL LONDON (CP)—Trumpet fan- ares and a parade of the 21 Commonwealth flags down the 99-year-old aisle of Westmin- ster Abbey added a touch of medieval pageantry to Brit- ain’s first Commonwealth Day service Monday. A message from the Queen— who is touring West Germany-- read by 23-year-old Prince Wil- liam. eldest son of the Duke of Gloucester, began the hour-lonz service. The abbey was racked | by more than 1,000 representa- itves of Commonwealth coun- tries and institutions: At-the head of the procession were Cafiada’s new flag and Britain's Union Jack. Special quests included the Duke and. Duchsges_of Glouces-_ ter. most of the Commonwealth high commisSioners and agents- general, members of both Houses of Parliament and dis- tinguished businessmen and ‘other leaders connected with commonwealth activities. LEARN ABOUT OTHERS In her message, the Queen said each individual should seek out chances to learn more about the people of other Common- wealth countries ‘‘so that we may have the warmth of fellow feeling and the vision to work together for the good of the world in years to come.” INSIDE TODAY ‘Commonwealth Day Event The lesson was read by Vis- count Amory, former British high commissioner in Ottawa and now chairman of the joint Commonwealth Society's coun- cil. In his sermon Rev. David Paton. secretary of the mis- Sionary and ecumenical council of the Anglican church assem- bly, said the Commonwealth ex- ists “as a single universe of trusting “ consultations and in this divided world that is no small thing.” may be no great shock. Bui for many others, authorities suggest there not only will be change in‘ measurements but a change in attitude. Those producing mainly for the home market had stuck to yards and pounds. They had been slow to think in terms of exports, drive to push sales abroad. The London view is that in time most Commonwealth coun- tries follow the British move, though Canada. for one, does not seem. likely to make the jump. Indeed. as long as the North American ,market is at- tractive to British industry, the yards - and - pounds system is | likely to survive for many vears | although with some decreasing use. Britain also has been toying from time to time with the icea of switching its currency from pounds, shillings and pence to the decimal system, but there is no indication that the switch to metres will speed a coinage change. Vending - machine cp- erators maintain there is too much cost involved The switch to metres will add a complication in British-North Ameriean trade. Easy - ficures po longer will fit.

Environment Theory Rejected By Russian As Cause Of Crime MOSCOW (AP) — A hard- boiled Soviet police colonel thinks the idea that criminals are unwitting products of their environment is nonsense. Lt.-Col. Viadimir Chvanov of the Moscow police department took a jaundiced attitude toward “enlightened” views of society's responsibility for criminal ele- ments. In an interview pub- lished in the newspaper Litera- turnaya Gazetta ‘Literary Ga- zette’. Chvanov said: “Lately, you read in the news- ~~ papers that a 19-year-old block- head has committed a murder. | Who is guilty?

The police officer's remark- ably forthright words injected a discordant note into a full-scale public discussion here about Russia’s crime problem. Partic- ipants in the discussion have conspicuously abandoned the old Marxist’ explanation of crime in a socialist society as a “survival 6f capitalism.” Instead they are talking about basic social causes of Fisheries Plans To Be Discussed ST.
