"In part," said the C. N. R. president, "this situation may also be attributed to the wide adoption of the 5. dly work week by industry and, l" Pa". to other causes. The railways are faced with the com- plicated task of providing enough equipment to meet dqlnnndg While. at the same time, freight revenues are taking a disconcert. l"! 41D- The Problem becomes even more complicated through the fact that equipment cgnnqg be taken out of service for re- pairs without reducing the qugng- ity available to meet almost max- imum demands. "To relieve this the Canadian National approved the purchase of 8.000 units of various types of freight equipment, but the mat- erials needed for this purpose ar also the kind greatly in ‘ ‘ for the general reoonversion pro- gramme and we have no means of knowing when we may get de- livery." Compared with 1939, Mr. Vaugh- an said that the average straight time rates of Canadian National employees in Canada had risen from 63 to 90 cents an hour. “This means." he continued, "that whereas the average annual earn- ings per employee were $1.514 in 19M, they will be $2,248 in 1947. l'I‘h:is is an increase of 48%." As "rxampics of increased expenses ,ior materials. he cited that cross ties today are" 94% more than in .1900. steel rails 32% more. “and Icosl bought in ihe Maritime Pro- vinces had increased 17% per gross ton over i000 with indicat- ions that prices may go still higher. For the whole range of railway purchases the average cost of materials and supplies to- day 1s $1.42 per unit compared with $1.00 in 1W1. In 1947. wages and materials will cost the mn- ndian National Railways $100000.- 000 more than the 10M levels. "Canada." continued Mr. Vaugh- an, "is about the only civilized country that has not had an in- crease in freight rates sinoe long before the beginning of the sec- iond world war.

Representing other service clubs in the city were, Mr. A. V. Ainsworth. Rotary; Mr. Walthcn Gaudet, Kinsmen; and Mr. Reg Taylor, Y's Men. Due to weather conditions a party of distinguished Gyros from Halifax and Moncton, who in- tended to fly here for the cere- mony of induction of ihe newly electcd officers, was unable to be present. Dr. J. A. MacMilian, a past president of the local club, ably substituted in the ceremony of installation.

In a brief address His Honour LieuL-Governor Bemard express- ed pleasure on behalf of Mrs. Ber- nard and himself in being privileg- ed to attend the function and heartily congratulated the Gyro Club on splendid social and we!- fare work they were doing. His Honour noted that Gyro stood for g Pfraternity of friend- ship" and held that if silch an ideal was strongly adhered to immense good to humanity could be achieved through such an or- ganlzation. Governor Bernard cited the notn-ble achievement of the Gyros in promoting the sale of Tuber- culosis Seals; the sponsoring of the school police corps, an ex- ample which, he said, might well be copied by other towns and rit- ies. He stated that the Gyro mem- bership although relativeiy small was a select group of busy men. and it was noteworthy that it was always the busy man who was looked upon to contribute to the welfare and good of the commun- ity. An interesting pert of the pro- gram was the presentation to Dr. Eric Found of the Past President's pin by Mr. Walter Hyndman or.- other Past President of trie club. Entertainment included music provided by Miss Helen Stewart. piano and Mr. Albert Lo Fort violin. Sing songs were led by Messrs. Walter Hyndman and Gilbert Henry. Accompanist was Mr. Al Blanchard. HINTS TIELFAILIIRE (Continued from Page 1). 1. Failure to arrive at tax agree- ments might well mean that many of the so-calied poorer ‘Provinces would hu-ve to fall back on the Dominion for financial support. 2. Agreements with all Provin- ces would mean that the Dominion could proceed with constructive tax policies. 3,‘ The Dominion would know that once-taxes were reduced they would llfill. be boosted ‘by the Prov- inces back to lwhere they were be- fore. 4. The Dominion, with unlimited taxing powers granted it under the British North America, Act, did not need agreements to bal- ance its budget. 5. The concentration of wealth in. a few Provinces would make difficult any division of tax fields aimed at making it possible for the Provinces and the Dominion 1o raise all their own revenues. d. There was no reason why new taxation agreements, "with their many benefits and advantages to the Provinces," should weaken provincial gutcno-my. .There wus no constitutional change or amendment proposed in, the new agreements. Temporary Contract “The tax agreement is merely a temporary contract," said Mr. Abbott. "The Provinces willoil mam year oflio- have entered into taxation agrOI-i ments have not abrogated their taxing powers but have merely agreed with the Dominion that for ‘good and valuable considera- consistlng of keen business men tion’ they will not impose eertainl, taxes ‘for a term certain oi five years." "Actually. such an agreement wilLltrengthen the autonomy of all Provinces. It. will assure them more adequate and more stable revenues and thereby place them to discharge thrlr constitutional responsibilities more efficiently and more independent- 1y." The advantage-s of the taxation raga ants would be applicable to the wealthy as well as so the poor wovlnool. assuring all a stability of Nvonm Whether times wet-o Iood or bad. ‘from the point of view of the people of the Province, a tax agreement means that there is only one tax to be paid, and one set of forms to be completed. This is particularly important l-n the base ‘if businesses operating on a nation-wide basis and which, in the absence of tax agreements. would be required to pay taxes and complete tax forms for all Prov- inces in which they are carrying on business as well as for the Do- mmion. t "Then too. business men and are safeguarded against atte pts by poorer lucr- iincel to raise revenues by methods lioceivos A Five Year iSontonce Prank‘ ‘Derry Ifcwse, who last week pleaded guilty to having "carnal knowledge of a girl under l4 ylars of ago not his wife." was sentenced yesterday by Mr. Jae- tice M.

To Increase Price Export Bacon As an incentive to in ciuction of Canadian blots: “u: Brim" Ministry of Food has a- greed to advance the contrwi; lirice from. $25 to $3; per 10o Pounds for A Grade Wlltshig-g sides. f.a.s.

The as in. crease in the price, which be- comes effective on September 1, 1947. moans a return of about J per hog over floor prices based on prices in the present agree- merit. The increased price will be eg- fcctive from Septemberd, 194.7, to December 31, 1M8. Port n] m; increase will. however. go into reflect in the near future, on a date to be announced as soon an the details connected with the domestic prices of pork products can be worked out. In view of this farmers may now proceed with their/plans for increased hog production with the assurance that. wlhen the hogs are read-y for market. in- creased prices will be available. For some time past the Britim Ministry of Food has been seri- ously concerned as to whether the weekly ration of two ounod per person per week. which gou into effect on January 5. can he rmintained. In normal times Britain obtained substantial quan- titles of bacon from Denmark and other European countries. Supplies from these countrfeialle now very limited. largely due =06 feed shortages. In view of this. the British Ministry of Food re- .ccntly approached the Canadian Government concerning obtaining ‘larger quanitiea of bacon in 101! 'and 1068 and offered to increase the contract price. L. W. Pearsall, manager of the Canadian Meat Board. recently visited Britain and conferred with the British Ministry of Fool concerning prices and quantities of bacon which might be stripped from Canada in’ 194'! and 1M6. Under t-he first wartime bacon agreement in rose-mo h price of 513,01 per 10o pounds was void- The next year the price dropped to $15.82. Since then it has ad- vanced to the present price o! $.25 per 100 pounds. The new rein-leis agreement .with Britain provides 10F ll" ‘ shdpment of 350 million pounds of ‘bacon ln 1m and 40o million ‘pounds in 194B. Shipments dur- 1946 will approximate 2% lmillion pounds.
