It was Youth Day yesterday at the Charlottetown Exhibition grounds and the children oi the rural districts by their enthusias- tic and happy faces left no doubt that they enjoyed every minute of it. Over a thousand young per- sons participated in the 4th an- nual Rural Youth Fair either by entering in the various competi- tions. judging the events or by taking part in the well planned sports programme.

Two 4-H teams were selected to go to the Royal Winter Fair at Toronto. They were the Mt. Buch- anan Poultry team of Florence Larsen and Martin MacRae, who made 665 out of 800 points. A Morell team scoring 702 points was ineligible because the mem- bus of the tearri were under to years of us The other team was from the East Baltic Clothing Club. Misses Jean Macaregor and Ruth Fay.

The sewing exhibits of the child- ren would do credit to any ex- hibition of handicraft. A most do- lightful part of the days program was a fashion show in which each girl modelled an article oi cloth- ing. such as a skirt or blouse that she had made for herself.

The track and field events were very keenly contested with a very large entry in each class which showed the enthusiasm with which everyone was determined to get into the show.

OTTAWA (CP - Chief Justice Gordon McGrcgor Sloan of British Columbia Friday was designated as the government's arbitrator be- tween the railways and unions in their contract dispute that re- gently threatened a general rail strike.

The cabinet appointed the 56- year-old justice to write binding settlement terms in the dispute after both parties agreed to or- bitration following the collapse of negotiations last month.

Chief Justice Sloan was given wide powers to grant or reject any.or all of the four points at issue between the railway and non- operating unions representing 145.- 000 workers.

However. the terms of reference as made public during the cabinet meeting were not quite as wide as proposed by the government originally. The initial proposal was to, give the umpire authority to lay down alternatives to any of the union demands should he find this advisable. A

OVERCROWDING IN SUBURBAN AREA;

SCHOOLS NOTICEABLE THIS YEAR

The overcrowding in city schools Number 1 and they have enrol-

resulting in the building of the new High School is reflected to a great degree in the suburban areas. Spring Park School. Parlrdale and Central Royalty are badly over- crowded at present as they are attempting to service a far greater school population than they were designed to handle.

Spring Park at present has 29! pupils and 0 teachers: it is neces- sary to stagger the work of Grade 1 into morning and afternoon classes as there are 69 pupils in this grade alone. At present there are eight class rooms in the school and they are proving entirely in- adequate.

It is felt that School Unit 1 will soon have in build a high school or a junior high school of its own to handle the great number of pupils. One of the reasons for the overcrowding in recent years is the fact that many former residents of Charlottetown have been forced

to move to the suburban areas in

LOW-PRICED IMPORTS STILL CAUSE SOME DISTRESS

Howe Says Economy Picking Up

GUELPI-I. Ont. (CP - Trade Minister Howe said Friday night low-priced imports are causing distress and unemployment among some Canadian industries. but warned that import restrictions will not provide a solution.

The minister. reviewing econ- omic trenda, estimated that Cin- sda'a economy is generally recov- ering from a recession, yet he pre- dicted "continuing drags" on econ- omlc activity caused by world in- dustrial competition.

To this problem there was no "quick or easy solution.” and therefore, he told the Guelph Board of Trade. "industrial output may not regain for some time the peak levels reached last year."

Adding to Canada's problems

was the estimate that "not in- comes of western farmers will be lower as a result of poorer crops this year." mriuxrnr CONDITION

However. said Mr. Howe. Can- ads has succeeded in preventing serious economic fluctuations. He did not believe she should try to eliminate "all the ups and downs." for in a free society it is healthy to have periods of consolidation follow periods of surging activity so that inefficient and uneconomic enterprises "sre trimmed away."

Dealing specifically with distress among industries. he said that im- port competition is a major prob- lem and that therefore some "rather extreme measures are be- ing urooosed tocons with it."

But if Canada imposed import curbs. said Mr. Howe. she would be faced with countering restric- tions in foreign markets. losing outlets for traditional sxportable surpluses.

"Such a policy in the long run would lead to the concentration of resources in less productive indus- tries. A country with Cansdais unique resources can ill afford to forego the advantages to be gained from the international specialisa- tion of production."

WAGE! NOT DETEBBENT

Canada had been described as a "high - cost" economy. Howe maintained this isn't so. Wages had climbed in Canada. even more than in the

I

that rising wage rates "are per- haps not so much a deterrent toil expansion as a reflection of it."

He made these other points:

i. Canada can look forward to an improvement in exports. be cause of increased foreign do msnd and increased production of. such items as iron ore from Knob- Lake. Que.: aluminium from Kit- lmst. 13. c.; and oil from lhcl prairies. l

Macleaiffreed On Murder Charge

WELLAD. Ont. (CP Bruce MBCLORH. 23. was freed Friday of a murder charge in connection with tho drowning of his attractive 21-year-old wife in a canoe ups:-f in August, H153. But. he went right back Into custody.

The handsome office worker. who had maintained his wife's death was accidental. was imme- diately arrested to await trial on a charge of fraud involving 81,600 a former girl friend says she lent

The trouble stems from the seasons of 1953 when the industry went heavily into the "cold pack" production. In that. year the 80 canneries on the Island produced 7.3.237 cases of processed (cannedl lobster and approximately 611) cwt. of fresh and frozen lobster meat. These were valued at SI.- 626.658 and 5205.000 respectively by the Federal Department of Fisheries.
