Aug. 9- fcPl-The Canadian Federation of Agricul- lure has urged the Federal Gov- ernment to remove the ban an beef-cattle shipments to the Ln- lferf States. Federation officials said today the request was made in wrlung following the recent semi-annual meeting in Nova Bcotia. when‘ the beef cattle situation was dio- cussed "from all angles." A Federation statement. said: "Rercgnizinl and appreciating the difficulties which have sur- rounded the cancellation of E1110 ban in the past. years. the Feder- ation nevertheless has expressed the view that the time now has arrived when theitradltional Am- eriran market for Canadian beef cattle should be restored to the producers.

The general reaction was that it's going to be great having her ea wife of the Prime Minister when Mr. St. Laurent takes office. Meanwhile. the St. Laurents’ three-morn apartment in down. town Ottawa will be buzzing with activity as preparations are made for the wealth of new duties she will undertake.

Lure OE The Island Brings Increasing Influx 0f Visitors On the eve of today's official opening of "Old Home Week" visitors were arriving last nlgnt in large numbers by train, plane and boat from many points oc the mainland both far and near. The lure of the Island is bring- lng back many former lslarititrs to their home Province for a v.5- it to places once familiar and among friends and relatives of earlier days. Captain H. S. Jones of Mali- time Central Airways repel-L that the influx of visitors by air began last Friday and that extra sections were run on Saturday in older to cope with the heavy traffic. Air travel is greater this year than in 194'! and calls for the use of larger aircraft to mec’. the increased demand. Both the "Abegwelt” and the "Prince Edward Island" are- be- lng used full-time to handle the extra traffic on the Borden-lor- mentine run. Between them 'tl.c vessels are making sixteen round tllps a day. Mr. L. J. MacDonald. District Freight Agent for the Canadian National Railways. stated last night that the traffic has been very hea-.y lecently and he said an increase ls expected for today's inflow of visitors. ‘ Mr. Gordon Floater. manager of the Charlottetown I-Iotel. indicated that. bookings for hotel accommo- dation have. been heavy for "Old I-iome Week” and probably will remain so during the remainder of August. Traffic figures for July on t.ie Wood Islands ferry service shew r. marked increase over the seine period in 1947. More than 4.00’) more passengers were carried this July than a year ago. about 1500 more autos. and 900 more trucks Mr. R. E.

He has also arranged to take the catch oif the Caraquet fishing fleet. This fleet ed from 100 to 160 vessels operates out of Cara- quet. and Shippegan in Northern New Brunswick and during the summer months hand-line of! the north coast of this Province. The establishment of such an industry here will mean the employment of from fifty to seventy-live men during the fall and winter months when other employment is at a low ebb. The nsh will be brought into the plant by truck or, when the size of the shipment justifies it. by rail. as a railway spur runs alongside the plant. when dried the fish will be shipped to South Africa, the West Indies, South America, and to other salt-fish consuming countries such as Spain and Italy. wlu Process Fillets George Wahl and Associates will also process fresh fillets for the domestic market and it is un- derstood they have already nego- tiated. with the Provincial Gov- anment for storage space at the Government refrigeration plant on Esher Street. Mr. J. F. Connolly said last night that the great interest tak- en ln the establishment of the new industry by Premier Jones was largely responsible for its having been established so quick- ly. Negotiations for the location of the industry at the local alr- port had "bogged down." MnCon- nolly said, and probably would have remained in that condition had not the Premier a. few weeks ago made personal representations to Department officials upon one of his visits to Ottawa. Mr. Conllolly added that con- siderable cfidit. for the successful conclusion of the arrangements for the industry's establishment should go to the officials of the Department of Transport who dls-_ played much understanding and sympathy respecting the need of the Province for industries which would help to develop its own natural resources and at the same time increase employment. Mr. Wahl is a. native of the state of Washington and has been an operator of flsh factories on the Pacific Coast and throughout the Maritime Provinces for sev- eral years.

With lust a glance at a slip of yellow paper in her gloved hand. she made the ISJScOnd speech.
