Purpose of public announcement of the existence of potato canker in Newfoundland, Mr. Keenan sold. was to make the public conscious of the very serious effect this disease would have should it infiltrate into Prince Edward Island. Nova Scoila or New Brunswick. Once the dan- ger is realized, he feels. all persons concerned will be doubly careful. Form Revised o Prevalence of this scourge to potatoes has compelled the Federal Department of Agriculture to rc- vlse the form of its certified seed certificates. Until Confederation. the certificates set forth that there was no black wart or canker in Canada. Today the document reads “wit-h the exception of the Prov- ince of Newfoundland." From present information. potato canker was introduced into New- foundland from Europe some 30 years ago. Dr. Keenan said. Only other incidence of the dis- ease in North America known to authorities is in a small section of the coal-mining districts of Pennsylvania. where some infected seed was apparently planted in miners‘ gardens. This area is closely guarded by officers of the Pennsylvania and the U.S. Federal Department of Agriculture to pre- vent any further spread. On behalf of the Department. Mr. Keenan is calling on all persons to eta-operate in keeping the potato CHARDOTTETOWN. CANADA. TUESDAY, DECEMBER o, 1949 Social Seuiriiy Assessment Mam Revenue Producer SII‘. JOHNI. Nfld.

The Supreme Court. reversing a decision of the Quebec Court of King's Bench. ruled unanimously that the trial judge erred in his charge to the jury which heard the case in 1947.

Teeth of Measure The teeth of the measure are contained in a clause which says that it makes no difference whe- ther the publisher or retail seller was ignorant of the contents of the books. The same sentence is provided for anyone found guilty of puib- lishing or selling obscene written matter, obscene pictures, obscene models or anything else which can be described as obscene. However. in this case there is a reservation. While the pub- lisher has no right to plead ignor- ance of the obscene contents. the dealer has that right. Crime comics are defined as "any magazine, periodical or book which exclusively or substantially comprises matter depicting edi- torially the commission of crimes, real or fictitious." This moans that comic strips in newspapers are not affected. No Mention of Books There is no mention in the act of crime books such as murder and detective stories. Thetre are a couple of other re- servations in the bill. They provide that there can be no conviction when it is proved that the comic books or allegedly obscene literature serve "the pith- lic good". or that there was "no excess" of_ the objectionable mat- ter. This might mean that a comic book might be spared if while portraying crime. it aim’) at dis- couragin-g crime by showing that lt doesn't pay.

Dec, 5 (CP) Wheat. base metals and farm ma- chinery are keeping Canada's ex- ports at a high level, although not as high as last year. With other exports dropping. more and more of the Dominions exports are made up of these iihree products, the Bureau of Statistics said today in a review of export trends. At the end of October last year. those items accounted for 34 per cent ovf Canada's total export trade. From January in October this year. they‘ve comprised 45 per cent of total exports. Newsprint has played the same role in exports to the vital United States market. It accounted for 27.2 per cent of exports to the U. S. for the first l0 months of this year. compared with 23.8 per cent in the same period of last year. The Bureau said the world-wide dollar shortage, "business reed- jusirnents" in the U. S. and stif- fer: competition “threatened the level of Canada's exports this year.” Despite this. total exports until the end of August were higher than i948. But in September, ox- poria dropped far below the Serp- tember. 1048 total and left cumula- tive exports for the January-Sep- tember period $12,200,000 below exports for the same period of 194R.
