I VETEILAN DOCTOR 5 runes JICYCLE MARKHAM. Onl (CF) - Markham's oldest physician. Dr. Arthur L. Hnre. has switched to a bicycle since his licence to drive a car was cancelled two months ago. Dr. liore, 81. said he may be too old to drive a car but he can ride a bicycle as well as any high school boy. He pedals about four miles a day to make his rounds in this village on the northeastern outskirts of Toronto. He started his practice here in 1910. The statements of the two Rus- sian leaders displayed an ignor- ance not only of tthe sensibilities of. their audiences but also of what. is going on in the Western world.- Thcir statements were "almost in- sulting to the intelligence" of their audiences- Khrushchev. who was ”frank al- .most to the point of crudity." had said that Britain had arranged for.

Mr. Gardiner Urges Caution OTTAWA, (CF)-Agriculture Minister Gardiner praised Thursday the efforts of the United States to rid itself of food surpluses and cautioned against calling for higher tariffs on imports of American potatoes U. S. Agriculture Secretary Benson is doing a ”fair- ly good job" in getting rid of his surpluses and he will do a better job as he goes along. Mr. Gardiner told the closing session of the four-day federal-provincial agri- cultural conference. grouing provinces can work out I Atlrlit-ssing lllt' closing session of agricultural there is no be grown and marketed in a way lthal would izive the growers some He noted that the Maritimes have demanded tariff protection against U. 5. potatoes entering Canada and observed that 90 per cent of the seed potatoes used in North Carolina are produced in Prince Edward island. The slate of Maine grew more potatoes than all Canadian growers. ”You've got to use a little judg- ment in handling these things." he said. adding that by calling for tariff protection, Maritime growers. may be killing off a good marketl to retain a poor one. COVERS MUCH GROUND In his closing remarks. Mr. Gardiner ranged over the whole ifield of agriculture. He predicted the government will give "more favorable" considera- tion this year to maintenance of existing support prices on butter, eggs and subsidies on western feed grains than in any previous year. He said also that the government likely would be willing to extend assistance to apple growers if all the major apple provinces got to- gether to co-operate in produc- tion handling and marketing ar- rangcments. OTTAWA (CF)-Eugene Cullen. Prince Edward Island agriculture minister. suggested Thursday that the federal government establish "some kind" of support price for potatoes. In fact. he told the federal-pro- vincial agricultural conference's closing session. he was going to see Agriculture Minister Gardiner "to see if we can make a deal on potatoes." An official in Mr. Gardincr's office said later that Mr. Cullen had met with Mr. Gardiner but that there probably would be '"no story" coming out of the meeting. He said other P. E.

The method of shipping more feed grain east would be cheaper, he said. than having the Canadian wheat board continue paying stor- age charges for grain carried in elevators. The charges were high. amounting to about 13 cents a bushel a year. It was the most expensive way of carrying grain. he maintained. AUDIENCE DEPLETED Mr. Gardiner": remarks wart made before a dwindled audience. Some of the provincial agriculture ministers left the conference late Wednesday. some of his remarks appeared to be aimed at pulling the prov- inces together. They appeared to be beginning to quarrel over tha food surplus pr ” . Accusations of market disruptions and produc- tion squeeza plays have been across provincial boundaries. Hon. Mr. Cullen Urges Support Price For Spuds disposing of the inland provlnoull potatoes with federal agriculture officials today before returning to Charlottetown. Mr. Cullog. the conference. said some . . I. fnrrnu-s fed administration of the federal farm assistance loans program "is too careful." It was often easier to get a loan from "hard-headed busi- ness men" than from the federal farm loan board. NEED FREIGHT AID He said P. E. I. producers can ship their products to Montreal more cheaply than to Newfound- land and Labrador and suggested some sort of freight assistance an shipments to those points. Until some better method can be worked out. he said. the federal agriculture price supports for but- ter. eggs and shipments of f grains should be continued at their present levels. -fie Beffizn 10 as.
