Indians Seek To Rescue Crippled Trapper NEW GLASGOW, N. 5., Jan. 0- (CiiU-A rescue party left here w- day to make a second attempt to reach 65-year-old, peg-legged Lou- is Sapier, marocned on Indian Island in Merigomish harbor since Christmas. Chief Bill Bernard of the nearby Pictou Landing Indian Reserva- tion and four young Micmacs, one of them the nephew of the strand- ed trapper, planned to push s dory ahead of them as they ivalk- ed over the thin ice. Sapier, one of Chief Bernard's men, went to the island to close up his cabin for the winter months. He was caught in a swirling Christmas storm. Bernard tried to get to the lone- ly island laat night but plunged through thin ice. He has already chartered an aircraft to drop food to Bapier, who was sighted from the air and waved his thanks for the pamcl. The plane was un- able to land on the rocky spit oi land. There was no word on how the party had fared. It was possib that, if successful, the men would remain on the island overnight. They carried only small parcels o! food and axes. Chief Barnsrd did not appear worried that he and his men might- themselves be marooned. - The party left here by train and railway officials made arrange- ments for a special stop at Pin! Tree Crossing. from where they would start even-lend. Indian island. about eight miles northeast of here, is unirfhabited and is used by the Micmacs for an annual religious ceremony dating from the dim past when they were converted to Christianity by French" misaionariu.

Estimate Cost l 0f New Freight Ilates Increase TORONTO, Jan. 6 -(C Pl-Can- a-dian industry still is trying to fig- ure out tvhat cost increases will re- suit from iihe interim 10 per cent emergency freight rate increase granted by the United States Inter- state Commerce Commission, the second such increase granted re- cently. 0n goods crossing the internat- ional boundary the increase is ef- fective since yesterday on both United States and Canadian lines because. under "joint through rate" arrangements, rates go’ up on both sides of the border when either country makes an increase. Accordingly virtually all rail- shlpped items of Canadian-United States trade are affected. A coal dealer in Toronto said the latest increase would add about 10 cents a ton to the cost of United States hard (anthracite) coal in Canada, and he assumed it would ultimately be handed on to the public. I An oil company said it had not figured out, its added costs. Probably the increase would not immediately be mood to the retail price. but it was another item of added cost and if hhere were enough of than they would result in retail in- creases. A steel company executive in Hamilton said no immediate in- crease in the price of steel is con- tccitplated. Newsprint ccmpanies will feel the extra cost in their heavy shipment» to the United States. It is assumed that, ime companies will have to ab- sorb it for the present, at least in_ the cases 0f companies which have announced flnm prices for the firlt six months oi’ 1048 at increase of $6 a ton in New York.

Canadian Cheese Shipments Reduced e TORONTO’. Jan. 6-(CP)—Can- adian cheese shipments to the Un- ited Kingdom have been reduced because of declining production and increased domestic consump- tion not only of cheese but of other dairy products, W. C. Cam~ eron, federal dairy products spec- ialist, said today. In an address prepared for de- livery before the Ontario Cheese Producers’ Association, Mr. Cam- eron said Canada is "at least" the sixth largest producer of milk in the world today and the third largest exporter of cheese. Chief of dairy products erad- ing and inspection services for the Dominion Agriculture Department, he said there have been marked changes in the production and utilization of milk in Britain which arc of "significant import- ance" to the Canadian cheese pro- ducer. The fluid milk requirements JI that country increased during the war and are still far from being met, with the result that only a ‘mule ppopoftiflfi is used for manu- fgcturing purposes. For instance. the total amount of milk “w! I01‘ the manufacture of all types of cheese in Britain in 1045 was only 51,72 per cent of that used for similar purposes in i000. He said it is imperative that only clean milk produced undfl sanitary conditions be delivered to cheese factories so that Can.- pdo may retain its position of be- ing the only source of select qual- ity cheese in quantity- Cre-ek Communists Establish Capital Afl-IIENS, Jen. 0 - (AP) -— A Greek war correspondent reported today that Markos Vefiadea had established a temporary capital for a separate Greek Communitt state in en isolated village in the heart of the Grammos Mountains l0 miles from the Albanian bor- der.

CONSUMER PAYS (Continued from Page l) (“Hot wright" is a packers term designating that the animal has not yet been subjected to the cooling process. necessary before processing. during which period the animal loses four per cent in ivcigbt or six pounds). Production Costs A Dominion agricultural official said last night that a farmer can produce a ISO-pound Grade A hog on 700 lbs. of a balanced ration at a cost of three cents per pound for the ration. The mixture recommended is 100 lbs. of home- grown grain costing $8.00; 100 lbs. shorts at $2.40; and 20 lbs. of fishmeal at 60 cents. Allowing, therefore, $21.00 for the feed and $5.00 for the purchase of the young pig, the farmer, upon sale of the finished animal, has a cash sur- plus of $17.25 for every such ani- mal produced. That sum, it was explained, does not represent not profit to the hog producer since his time, and interest and depreciation on his farm and equipment must be taken into account.

Evidence Taken In Beairsto Case TORONTO, Jun. 6——ICPI—-P‘If;t inkling of a $192,500 theft from R. A. Daly Co. Ltd, Toronto iii- vestment brokers, came following fl. golf game in November. Rich- ard A. Daly, president of the firm testified today at the trial of Arthur H. C. Bcarlsto, charged with the theft. "After the game Beairsw talk» ed confidentially with Christie innothet" firm official) and as a result of this we opened an investi- gation," said Daly. BBlIlI-Stfl. 59. a former vice-pre- sident of the Duly company and one-time resident of Charlottetown, P.E.I., pleaded guilty last week and will he sentenced Jan. 8. Uii- able to raise $50,000 bail, he has been in custody since he surrend- ered to Crown Attorney J. W. Mc- Fadden. Dec. I. Theft of the money occurred between i941 and 1947. Daiy testified that after hearing of the confidential talk he thought oi’ a cablegrnm Bealrsto received in 194i for certain securities to be delivered to one of Beairstoks clients in Eire. Ida said he found the cable to be forged. "When I asked to see those se- curities during our check-up, he (Beairsto) said he would think about it. Beairsto later admitted that they were gone. "At first I was unable to de- termine the value of these securi- ties, but later Beairsto showed -ne the cablegram. From that 1 round the value of these securities to be bait/Bell 550.000 and $70,000." A meeting was called and Beatr- sto was asked if" there was any- thing else he would tell. "l-ie revealed that he had a loan in the Bank of Montreal and 1 got his consent to see it. I found n. security in the name of Mrs. Margaret Scott. I thought it ra- ther odd that there should be a security in one person's name In mmeone eise's loan. There ivas $33,000 in loans and $46,000 in cal- iaterni securities there. Beairsto admitted the securities were all stolen except for one which was his own." Duly testified that he also learn. ed of lonns Beairsio had in the Batik of Nova Scotia, $3.000; the Bank of Toronto. $18,900 and two brokerage accounts in the sums of $7.970 and $1.790. "I-le gave us all the Information and told us who the securities be- longed to, in the banks and brok- erage offices." Up to this time Daiy said $130,. 000 and $12,000 collateral had been found. "Tivo days later we had m. other meeting and found another $30,000 in securities had been taken and sold. He also advised us of two other accounts he had for- gotten. These accounts brought tlic tothl to uhpre it stands now.‘ _ Paly said that Bealrsto gave hi; CIi€lit_S"ti1C impression that their securities were iu the possession of the Daly Company. I-lc lost n great deal of this money by Ealllbllllg on horse races with tlic bookies."
