By Guardian’s Special Wire) PICTOU, N. S., June 22— A severe storm showered egg-size hail stones from the ‘skies here today leaving in (its wake battered houses, levelled crops, broken win- dows and punctured roofs. i From Cape John to Seafoam, dwellings looked as if they had been bombarded. Coming out of the north- ,west suddenly, the storm lasted a bare 20 minutes, be- ing preceded by deafening thunder. Men out in lobster fishing boats at 8 o'clock this morning had their heads and hands cut and stung by the downpour of iceballs. The roof of Wightmans lobster factory. one of the larger buildings in the six-mile long district which felt the full force of the storm, was badly pitted with holes. Consider- able damage was done to an aero- plane owned by Kuy Ross of River John. The flying hall, like shrap- nel, puncturcd the wings and fuse- lage of the plane. Sunrise Trail, the main highway along the north shore of Nova. Sco- tia, was carpeted with green leaves. Roofs of sheds looked as if they had been holed by hammers. Veg- etables were battercd into the ground and grain crops mowcd down by the onslaught of the storm. Older residents disagreed on whether the hail-storm had a pre- cedent. Mrs. Archibald Johnston, 8i, said she could not remember any- thing like it, but Miss Susan Forbes shook her head and declared the same thing occurred just a half- century ago.

By Guardian's Special Wire) OTTAWA, June 22-Climaxing a short, bitter debate in which temp. ers flew and the atmosphere was tense, the House of Commons to- night voted 68-42 against bi-lingual bank notes to be issued by the pro- posed central bank. "This has nothing to do with a question of business but ls a pol- itical subject pure and simple," al- most shouted Premier R. B. Bennett when Hon. Ernest Lapointe, Liberal lieutenant in Quebec, moved the bl-llngual motion. "I deny that," retorted the for- mer Minister of Justice and when a Conservative shouted above the tumult that denial was impossible, added "I, send that back in your teeth." The Prime Minister said he would abide by the letter of the constitution which placed French and English on a parity and “by that 1 stand and by that, this gov- ernment stands." Under. the Cen- tral Bank Act, the government had gone further than any other ad- ministration by stipulating notes could be printed in either language. But beyond that, he would not go. The Prime Minister argued against bilingual money from a. constitutional viewpoint and told the former Minister of Justice he “some day would live long enough to regret" introducing the subject as a. political question. The consti- tution had nothing to do with it, retorted Rt. Hon. Mackenzie King- it was a question of promoting har- mony between races and selecting a method of engraving bank notfi that would serve convenience best. "The constitution is only a red herring," interjected Mr. Lapolnte. It was the Prime Minister who raised the subject to the level of party politics, insisted the Liberal leader. "No, no," shouted Conservative members, adding it was the former Minister of Justice. "I say anyone who says I raised this question as a. political issue ut- ters an infamous lie," retorted Mr. Lapolnte but he was forced to withdraw the latter words on a point of order.

The proposals were by L. W. Fraser, who appeared 0nd factor in reduced prices Earnings Average earnings for fishermen were as low as $75 to $300 in 1933. Holding of a number of hearings by the committee in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Quebec to inquire into phases of the industry was suggested by Mr. Fraser. “Your investigator respectfully submits that the conditions dis- closed as now existing in the fish- ing industry merit the further con- sideration of the committee,” the in- vestigator set out in his filed report. ‘Especially is this so in regard to the price paid primary producers and trade practices in the wholesale and retail markets. ‘ "Your investigator suggests that the committee, after hearing evid- ence, should consider the advisabil- ity of taking such steps as may log- ically lead to the establishment of a scale of higher prism to be paid the fishermen. Minimum Price Need It is of fundamental importance that the position of the primary pro- duccr should be improved and it may be that the committee will con- sider means through which there may be established a minimum price to be paid fishermen. "Your investigator also respect- fully suggests thal; the committee should give consideration to what direction, through some form of a marketing board. or otherwise, may be necessary to establish a more sat- isfactory degree of coordination within all phases of tlie fishing in- dustry."

Price Cutting “It has been represented to your investigator that uncontrolled price cutting is prcvnlciil, in connection with the marketing of fish and that tlie {illiplllllg of fish upon a consign- ment basis must be wnsidcred as having a similar effect to that 0f price cutting." the investigator re- ported. "The seriousness 0f tlic ctlcct of this apparently well-established practice is more apparent wlicii it is borne in mind that u low quotation upon even a, l-lllllll quuntliy of fish cmi be responsible for a biwk in the market involving largo sumzzicms.
