LOOK FOR EABY BREAK-UP- Indicatlona of an early ice break-up were further strengthened yester- day when Captain Angus Brown. official ice observer fol: the Depart- ment of Transport rePOPlHl ill" Cabot Strait was clear of ice be- tween Salnt Paul's and Cape Ray. This provides a path for the heavier ice north and west which will drift through when aided by a fav- orable wind. There was a lot of heavy _ice in the Gulf of St. Law- rence which has not begun to move. It was loosening up, however, and if supported by a strong wind should soon start to move. There were scattered fields along the east coast of Cape Breton and the water there was navigable also in the Strait of Censo where there was scattered drift ice. There was 70 per cent ice in the Northumberlend Strait from Charlottetown east. This was heavy northern ice which drifted down from Western Point and North Cape. Captain Brown will make another flight on the 20th or 21st, and then daily flights de- pending on weather and ice condi- tlons.

local Amateur Trapper Wages War on Slrunlrs

.ls also noteworthy

Recent reports about the exist- ing skunk menace in the City have been further borne out by the fact that an amateur trapper who re- cently began snaring the animals is rapidly approaching profession- al status. He reported a very auc- cesrful week-end making a total of nine catches.

He first became engaged in this activity on Orlebar Street where he make one catch the first night. Youthful observers then directed his attentions ' to the northern end oi the City where game is very plentiful. The switch proved successful and he 1s now ridding the City of several skunks daily.

He is not too early taking this action as the female skunk. it is reported, gives birth to her young towards the end of next month. This means that trapping activity during the next month will need to be heavy 0r the City will have a problem that may prove difficult tn solve. In either case trappera have a potential business.

Further extension of swvices needing additional funds were forecast but the speaker suggest- ed that the people should consid- er this problem carefully and be prepared to indicate to the Gov- emrnant as to whpt extent they wished the Government to assume the welfare responsibilities.

The talk proved very educa- tional and the speaker was warm- ly thanked for his address.

The Association decided to fur- ther conslder the possibility of provision of accommodation in the basement of the church for scout and guide club rooms. A commit- tee was appointed to wait on the trustees and make financial ar- rangements for construction work involved.
