A118’. 28 —(CP) A proposed Jill-home development on the old City Airport property here bogged down today because of the shortage of building mater- ial. "Nothing but a joke," was the way builders described the "prior- ity" they were supposed’ to have to maintain the necessary mater- ial. "It is practically as hard to get supplies for integrated housing as it is for a flflliSt.‘ built on our own." This was something of a shock to civic officials, When the bulld- e's had been sold the building lots far below market prices they had assured the city materials would be available. , ; Read by Eve Covers Prince Edward Island Like the Dew CHARLOTTETOWN, CANADA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1941 f Mr. Shaw Returns Favorahly Impressed By ll. S. Exhibition Mr. WJ-‘t. Shaw, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, returned yesterday from atttending the Provincial Nova Scotia Exhibition at Truro, which he had officially opened on Tuesday evening. He also officiated as horse judge. Mr. Shaw stated that the Ebr- hibltion was a remarkable success. The plant ls entirely new and has been planned and modelled for the convenience and accommodation o,f exhibitors and visitors. The barns were completely filled with a fine exhibition of livestock of all classifications. A feature which impressed M12. Shaw very favourably was that of the programme conducted in the evenings. This started each eve- ning with the Judging of heavy draft teams, saddle and roadster classes. and was followed by a par- ade in front of the grandstand of the prize winning animals 0f the day. Music was supplied by a Highland Pipe Band and the bal- ance of the programme consisted c;f Highland dances, a number of comedy skits, music and a series of boxing bouts. There were thou- sands of people at the night per- formances and the crowds seemed to be enjoying t-he whole pro- gramme tremendously.

Aug. 28 — (Reuters) - FTBME. faced with a critical dollar shortage, tonight imposed a tem- porary ban on all imports from the than (teal. fuel oil, fats, edible oils and grains. In announcing the emergency move, the Ministry of National Economy said the restrictions were forced by the dwindling of dollars available for French imports from the dollar area. France had only $060,000,000 left instead of $450,- 000,000 as foreseen in the import plan drawn up for the second half of this year. The latter sum was thought by experts to be the min- lmllm f0!‘ maintaining French in- dustry on lts present level. Difficulties of the French ex- port trade wc-uld be accentuated by the new general price increase, which would be authorized by the Goverrment immediately because of’ higher wages. Under the new Government de- cree imports o,t steel, gasoline, cotton and engineering equipment will be particularly affected and will have a disastrous effect on the French bconomic position the spokesman said. Earlier Prime Minister Ramad- ier and the fin-each Socialist Party indicated that food hardships in France this winter were expected to be even worse than in Britain. Meanwhile the order keeping po- licemen at the head of bread queues is being rigidly enforced as a pre- caution against disturbances when the new cut from 250 grams (near- ly nine ounces) to 20'.) grams (about 7 ounces) comes into force on Sept. 1.

"Whatever happens. further food cuts and the introduction of a differential rationing system for heavy manual workers are likely before the end of the year." said the London Star. “Concentration of industry cn wartime lines and some curtailment of passenger transport also are expected." The newspaper said the "timing of’ further sacrifice" would depend on these factors: 1. ‘The effect on public spirit of the latest dose of austerity. 2. The final assessment of help from the Commonwealth. Some meat and fat will still have to be bought "vith dollars but if the Commonwealth will help with other commodities, cuts may be small. 3. The date on which the Mar- shall Plan becomes effective, and how much Britain will gain from it.
