B., Dec. 2l-—- Prisoners who had served three- quurters. oftheir Joli terms or who had no more than an additional month to serve, as the result of convictions under tlic New Bruns- wick intoxicating liquor act, today were given their freedom as a. spe- cial concession at Christmas time, at the instance of the N. B. Liquor Control Board. ‘ R. G. Fulton, chairman of the board, made known today thiit the board has taken the customary ac- tion this year in ending that the prisoners whose sentences were nearly completed be released in time to spend the festive season with their fmnilies. The decision was reached at the inst meeting of the board. ' Chairman Fulton, while not dis- closing the actual number of pris- oners under the liquor act affected by the Christmas “amnesty” stated that the total was somewhat larg- er than last year. The counties of the province which were principal- ly concerned were Westmoriand, Kent, Gloucester and Madawaskii. Fewer convictions had been entered late this year in the other -- untieg, York County, in contrast with former years, had no jail prisoners serving time for violating the li- quor act ,who came under the Christmas release provision.

Shouts and applause greeted Speaker John N. Gamers announ- cement of the blll‘s passage. The size of the affirmative vote surpris- cd even the most. active advocates of the measure, including Speaker Garner, who said: "It was bigger than I expected, and shows that a majority _of the House wants to follow the will of a majority of the people." _ There had been some doubt iii the minds of Garner and other Demo- cratic leaders that enough votes (Continued on Page 7i s1. iiiiiiiiici SEAIIAISBHEME (Canadian Press) OTTAWA, Dec. ZL-Tlie St. Law- liiiid Ship Canal were subjects of representations today to Rt. Hon. Sir George Perley, acting Prime Minister, and Hon. Robert J. Man- ioii, Minister of Railways and Can- als. Representing various “ship-by- rail" associations 1n Canada the de- putation consisted of B. Huston, London, H. Wigglesworth, Stratford, W. J. Bruckner, Toronto, W. J. Mengher, Niagara Falls and Nor- man Dowd, Ottawa. A statement was issued after the discussion as follows: » “The members of the deputation represented that the proposed con- struction of the St. Lawrence water- way would involve a. heavy capital burden on Canada and result in competition with the railways, which would further aggravate their pres- ent difficultles. They therefore re- quested the Fcderal Government to consider: "1. The possible postponement of the development of the St. Law- rence waterway iuitil such time as the prosperity of the Dominion warranted such development. "2. That in the event of the St. Lawrence writer-way being complet- ed, tolls be levied on a tonnage bas- is on vessels using the waterway that will be commensurate with the amount of money expended,» similar to the tolls now charged for the use of the Panama and Suez canals, which are recogiilzcd as being self- supporting. "3. That a system of tolls, on a tonnage basis, be inaugurated on vessels operating through the Wel- land Canal. "'I‘ho acting Prime Minister called attention to the fact that the Do- minion had already completed the Welland Canal out of funds voted by previous parliaments.

Opening a new chap- ternrCsnadaPs crowded mineral- history, the only radium refinery in the British Empire will be oper- sting wltliln 10 days, and its pro- duct will go to all parts of the world. Made from Cwnadian ore, shipped by Canadian Airways to the all- Canadlsn planfhere, the radium will prove Canada's challenge to the Belgian syndicate which now controls the world's supply of rad- ium. If present plans materialize, the radium will be so cheaply and efficiently produced that its price will be lowered. Even the poorest cancer patient will ultimately be able to afford the radium treat- ments which have proved most ef- ficient in the treatment of the dread disease. e PRICE (‘F RADIUM $7,000 PER MILLIGRAMME Fifty-six tons of pitcliblende, of a richness almost uncblievable, is stacked at the Eldorado plant here. According to Canadian Govern- ment geologists, it averages between 40 and 50 percent ‘arhiiluni oclde and will produce about 125 milli- grammos refined radium per ton. The present price of radium is about $7,000 pcr mllligramme. Far up on the shores of Great Bear Lake, Gilbert Lnbine, veter- En prospector, stumbled across the pltchblende veins which are n:- garded as Canada's greatest min- eral dIscovPry and contribution to medicine. laboriously, the so tons were bugged.
