Government informants said to- day he has made no proposals calling for changes in Canada's trade policy. The Canadian authorities have not completely assessed the. potent- ial effects on Canada of the British situation as outlined by sir Staf- ford and likely will not be able to until after he leaves. Sir Stafford will fly to Wash. ingion Sunday for international financial meetings. Finance Min- ister Abbott. who has ta.ken part in the talks here, will accompany him. The fact Mr. Abbott is going to Washington with Sir Stafford is regarded here as of considerable significance in connection with the report that the Chancellor was to ask the Dominion for “unfreezir-ig" 0f the $240,000,000 blocked portion of Canada's latest loan to Britain.

While no one spoke directly against accepting "C.0.'s" into equal pensionability with military servicemen, many, including On- tario's Chief Justice J. C. Mc- Ruer of Toronto, argued the topic should rim be discussed during s Pension Board report. Mr. Justice McRuer said it should come up later and in nocre detail, "The question is a moral one and should not have come up in discuss-ion of pensions." The Council‘ also agreed today to do something about acquiring a eost-of-iiving bonus for pen- sioned ministers and widows of ministers. "The present allowance. a maximum of $800 for men and $380 for widows, is a paltry sum." said David H. Gibson of Toronto, lay chairman of the Pension Fund Committee." Details of the bonus will be worked ou-t by the committee fol- lowing Council sessions. "No church wen-ts you after 45 and no one wants to hear you after 50." said Rev. Alan l-l. Ferry of Toronto and Owen Sound. Ont. d/irring the bonus debate. “Our retired ministers aren't grlven enough now to buy shoe laces," he added. The lack of an adequate pen- sion fund now is preventing young men from joining the ministry, Mr. Ferry said. A 10-point program calling for a revitalized “policy and plan for future recruitment" was also ap- proved. Reports to llhe conference show that the Church is short 40-5 min- isters. Most are required to fill vacant charges. charges now supplied by laymen and in overseas missions. lIAN_Nl__ARD Continued from page 1 ‘additional 200. Prince County growers have estimated their re- quirements at between 500 and 600 pickers from tihe mainland. As in past years the gzeat majority of the pickers are recruited by the National Employment Service from the Cape Breton area-a small. number coming from Pictou Coun- ty. Bringing in the pickers under the “g:oup" system is the result of the confusion and difficulty ex- perienced last year when 400 ar- rived at one time. National Em- ployment officiala were unable to cope with the rush in such n short period of time. However. this year employment officers will meet the various groups on arrival. Farmers will be notified by telephone as to when and vnhere to meet the trains. and the pickers will’ be distributed along the route. Movements of potato-pickers from Canada to ‘Maine and other points in US. are confined to residents of the border towns in Quebec and New Brunswick. National Employ- ment Service officiais stress that no potato-pickers from either Prince Edward Island or Nova Scotia may be sent to the'U. S. potato harvest. The employment situation in King's and Queen's Counties is re- ported to be excellent. A number of vacancies exist for skilled wo-k- ers and twenty-five first class carpenters could be put to wort: immediately.

It recom- mended that i-n ‘future the City's hy-laws forbidding motorists from driving with glaring lights be more strictly enforced. Dr. J. D.

Le-a said he made no examination of the body of the lute Mrs. Stems since the woman was dead when admitted to the Hospital shortly after 8 p.m. on the evening of Sept. 14 and had both arms and legs broken. Robert MacIrmis said he was driving about 20 or 26 miles an hour when. approaching the in- tersection of Powriai and Euston streets, he was blinded by the iiglhvts of an approaching car. Wit- ness was watching oaretully on his right lest some pedestrian step off the curb into the street. when the leflt side of the car struck something, He fmmedixteiy applied the brakes and stopped trhe car. A woman was lying in front of the car and about in the centre of the street. Chief of Police A. Birtwistie said it was the duty of the motor- ist to a/t all times "protect his right". The pedestrian, provided he did not "jaywaik" across a street or intersection, had at all times the right of way. It was an infraction of the law for mo- torists to drive in the City limits with glaring lights and to drive through intersections at more than 10 miles an hour, There were too many traffic violations being committed within the City limits but it w-as physically impossible to station officers at every inter- section. Chief Brirtiwistie suggest- ed tha-t one or two plain clothes men placed at s-traoteg-lc centres for a. few days would effect con- slderuble improvement by reduc- ing the number of traffic viola- tions.

His, school career was sprinkled with medals and scholarships and he was mali- ed to the Toronto Bar in 1928, later obtaining his Bachelor of Laws degree extramurally from the University of Toronto. He is the author of a number of articles on legal subjects and was made a King's Counsel in i944. However, Mr. Fleming's legal wtivities only took up part of his time. Believing that democracy can only operate properly if every- one dces his share to make it work. he has alivnys taken an act- ive part. in civic. affiairs and ser- vice organizations. He was an alderman in Toronto from I939 to 1944 and was a vig- orous exponent of city planning and social welfare Ln the Oily Council, He was also a. member of the Board of Education in i968, chairman of the property committee in - 1940. chairman 0f the works’ committee in i942 and chairman of the public welfare committee in 1944. He. has carried his experience in public welfare into the House or Commons and keeps a watchful eye on the government's social security measures, and heads the Progressive Conservative commit- tee on sociaiseourity and housing.

International authority today was too much in the hands of Russia and the United States. “I am convinced that if we are to place our relations with the east. on an enduring and satis- factory footing that can only be done if we are in a position to negotiate from strength we can only do that if our defence plans are Empire defence plans and of the western nations also."

There would be a. speed-up in reconditioning existing equipment no-w in store. Alexander said that while Brit- ain will put her strength behind the development of western Union in Europe, she does not forget she has a great part as “the heart and centre c-f the British Common- wealth." Alexander, who was opening a general debate on defence, was followed by Eden, The scheme for calling up reserves seemed good as far as it went, but it had very evident limitations, Eden said, He understood these men were not to have any kind or refresher course before they w€re called up.

Poland quickly followed with a blistering attack on alleged Amer- ican imperlalisrn—principally the European Recovery Program. Marshall said the United States sphere apparently ' will not "compromise the essential principles" or "batter away the rights and freedom of other peoples." He pulled no surprises like last year's demand for creation 0f the Little Assembly. He did urge con- tinuation of the Little Assembly for another year, opened the door to the Russian-led minority to co- operate and declared that there are no mechanical majorities as Rus- sia has charged.

Foreign Minister Zygmunt DIOCISEHEKVSI-{l of Poland assailed efforts of the Western Powers to supply Berlin by air, de-- cioring that "no justification can be found for such econcmlc non- sence as the supply of coal to Ber- lin by nlr." Marshall summed up the United States position on tolp issues in this way: 1. Matters dealing with the peace settlements (this was taken by delegates to mean Berlin and the German ques- tion) are to be dealt with in other places. 2. Palestine should be free from strife, armed forces in the Holy Land should be de- mobilized. refugees should be allowed to return to their homes and Trans-Jordan and Israel should be admitted to the UIN.

They were uneven and somewhat crooked. but as crops revere sown and harvested from year to year plowing became easier, and more interest was tek- cn in doing work which would be pleasing to the critical eye of the good plower. and with better re- sultant crops. Recalls Other Years "I well remember that a. certain progressive farmer found that the sod did not lie properly in the furrow while he was summer fai- loviring. and as soon u o, field wag lllf-twed he ran the roller over it. His next door neighbor thought this a useless and uncalled for hit, of labour, but it was soon found that the iveisht of the roller clos- ed all the air spaces between sod and the grass died and rotted more rapidly andwlll-l. out, taking new root. Good plow. ing gives hand in hand with suc- cessful forming, and I compliment», you farmers who are showing such l1 Dmgressive spirit and such de- termination to produce the very twat crops from our productlvg Prince Edward Island soil. “Our Island agriculturislg ha“ been singularly blessed by Dlvlne Providence this year.
