MacFadyen. lockedthc doors of his office for the last time yesterday afternoon. His resignation went into effect on Saturday but sheriff MacFadyen, who has six months "leave of absence. remained on duty until he heard that Mr. John Boston. his former bailiff, had been appointed to the position. it is eaipectcd that" Mr. Boston's lip poliltment will be approved today by the Lieutenant Governor. Sheriff MacFadyen succeeded Mr. Anthony Dougan as slaei-iff and was sworn in on Julie 3rd. i908. under the Saunders Govern- ment. I-Ie retired on Sept. 3, 1931, and was succeeded by Mr. John P. Bradley. 0n Sept. 3, i935, he again be- came Sheriff and has held the of- fice contlnuously since that date until his resignation. During his sixteen years of o'- fioo Sheriff Mac-Fadyen escorted sixty-six persons to Dorchestei Penitentiary on charges ranging from manslaughter to theft. Their sentences ranged from 35 years to two. Of the four persons convicted of manslaughter, whom he escorted to Dorchester, one was a woman. He was Sheriff of Queen's county at the time of the double hanging tn the Charlottetown jail on the morning of Aug. 20, i941. Made No Enemies Asked if he had ever had any llllllStlfll experiences while conduct- ing Sheriff's sales in the County, Mr. MacFadyen said it was a mat- ter of satisfaction to him to be able to say he had nevermade any enemies in the performance of such an unpleasant duty, He recalled being obliged to go into a rural district on a pamcu larly disagreeable day to conduct a Sheriff's sale. It was raining very hard and he was wet to the skil as evening approached. Everything about the farmer had been sou except a. hundred hens. Although the proceeds from the sale had not fully satisfied the execution, Site:- iif MacFilxiyeil declined to sell the hens on the ground that ii. would be unfair to deprive the husband and wife of their last means of earning a few dollars. Before departing, Mr. MacFad- yell noticed the mall and woman taking a bag to the back of nis car. He paid no further attentilll to the incident until arriving home. Upon opening the bag. he found that the husband and wife, oat of gratitude for the Sheriff's con- sideration. had made him a. pre- sent. of six fat chickens. His successor, Mr. Beaton, be- longs to East. Royalty and hgibggn Bailiff for Queen's County for several years.

In a large egg business such as ‘theirs. where two or three trucks ‘of eggs are-handled daily, the in- crease will often amount to fifty dollars or more. But this, they pointed out, is only half the picture. If it costs am additional fifty dollars to bring the eggs into Clmrlottetown from Island nmoh more to send them to the mainland. Another largo egg deals-r said the new rates would have other ramifications, inasmluch as the price of eggs to Great. Britain will lnot be raised to conform with the higher cost in transportation by rail to Halifax, Saint John or Montreal. That means. he claimed. that the benefit derived from the recent food agreement with Great Britain has been wiped out. Affects Feed Costs Another factor emphasized is that the minimum rate on a bag o; feed has jumped from 40 cents to 60 cents, so that the farmer's profit on a. case of eggs is not only cut down by the higher ex- press charges. but. is further r.- duced by higlher feed costs. 0m cgg dealer figured yester- day that the new rates represent an additional cost of $75 on a. car of eggs going to Toronto.

April l0 — (CP) — Howard P. Robinson of‘ the Saint Joihn ‘firms-Globe was re-electcd honorary chairman of the Canad- ian Section of the Empire Press Union at the body's annual meet- ing here Wednesday night. Senator W. Rupert Davies, pub- lisher of the Kingston Whig-Stan- dard, was re-elected chairman. TI‘. Drummic of the Saint John Telegraph Journal was rc-elected honorary auditor and J.R. Burn- ctt olf the Charlottetown Guardian was one of a group elected to represent the Canadian Section on the Council of the Empire Press Union. A committee of the Canadian Section announced tentative plans for the seventh Imperial Press Conference, which will be held in Canada in 1950. It was proposed to hold the conference in Ottawa June 28-30 and to precede and follow it with a tour of Canada lasting about six weeks. On tlhc tour, some 60 del- egates frcm the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and the col- onies will visit all Provinces. The committee met under its chair-man. Victor Slfton, publish- er of (he Winnipeg Free Press and newly-elected president of the Canadian Press, following the annual meeting of the Canadian section. l The WEEK at S. D. U. In the Stucents’ Union elec- tions held lhst week, John B. MacDonald was chosen President, Russell Arblnz. Secretary-treas- urer, and Wilfred Driscoll, Vice- president. John S. and Wilf were both elected with a substantial majority, but the position of Sec- retary-treasurel- was so closely contested between Russell Arb- ing and Charlie Kelly that a sec- ond ballot was necessary in order to secure an absolute majority. (There were four candidates on the first ballot). I In our column last. week, we said that campaigning had been kept to a minimum. But during the week-end things livened up considerably. At a mess-meeting of the students the candidates were introduced, and each spoke briefly to the students. One particularly interesting phase of the election this year was the almost complete absence of campaign platfmms. As John S. said in his speech to the student-body, "I am not go- ing to begin by making promises, because I know that you, the elec- tors. are not going to bc led by promises this year." l O O But promises or no promises, the candidates’ campaigners thor- oughly canvassed the student- body before the election. Charlie MacDonald suntncd it up pretty well by saying, "lt (the canvass- ing) reminded me of the political campaigns; about the only thing they didn't do, us‘ have to do, was kiss the babies." O O O John S._ and Wilf will take of- fice next fall. Theirs will not be an easy task, because the stud- ents are becoming more and more interested in their Union, Ind more and more critical of the manner in which their affairs are being handled. It is a good prac- tice, and one which we hope will be carried over into‘ next year. 1 Rev.

By-Iows UITAWA, April l6 - Canadian fishermen and fish processors on the East Coast are missing a good bet by not developing s market for the medium-sized flounder. ac- cording to the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. The Research Board's Atlantic Biological Station at St. Andrew's. N. 8., drew this conclusion after conducting exploratory inshone dragging operations from Anna polls basin to northern Cape Brc ton and from southern Prince Ed- ward Island to Shippegan, N. B. “To dste our flounder resources have been poorly exploited." the report on the station's findings sle- clared. It pointed to the 5.000.000 pounds of flounders caught in Maritime waters in 1943 as com- pared to 50.000.000 pounds off the New England coast. The fact that Canadian markets were only accepting flounders more than 15 inches total length while New England states markets were accepting flounders 12 inches total length was blamed for the poor development of this Canadian fishery. "A decrease in the size accept able to Canadian markets would lead to an increased development of the inshore flounder fishery." the report said. Species In Abundance The station's findings showed that of the six flounder species native to Canadian east coast wat- ers, the winter flounder and the Canadian plaice were found in large numbers. Brill and smooth fiounders were not in sufficient numbers to at- tain commercial importance willie yellowtall and witch flounders were abundant only in offshore waters. The exploratory drags produced winter flounder and Canadian plaice which were predominantly too small for commercial demand. But information was gained to in- dicate that larger flounders could be caught in commercially impor- tant numbers in certain inshore waters at certain times of the year. Continued studies will reveal seasons, depths and localities where catches of commercial value may be made. The report said that Canadian numbers both inshore and offshore by hook and line and dragging. The present catch of 2.000.000 pounds could be greatly increased by development of a market and increased price to tile fishermen. Restricted Expansion "The proportionally greater de- mand and price for other ground- fish species, such as cod and hat‘.- dock has restricted the expansion of this fishery. “The winter flounder is the ma- jor spccieswhich can be expected to develop into an important in- plaice could be taken in large‘ Maritime Fisheries Lose Through Non-Development Of Flounder Resources shore flounder industry. "During recent years the wintir flounder has increased in impos- tancc as lobster bait. Further in- crease in the use of floundcrs fut bait purposes will contribute to I greater exploitation of our in- shore floundcr resources. The win- ter flounder makes a. most pul- stabie dish for both man and lob- ster but Canadian fishermen a consumers have not fully res the potentialties of this spccielp’ the report concluded.
