Consider Trying European Oysters In The Maritimes

OTTAWA (CP) - The federal fisheries department is consider- ing the introduction of European oysters in Maritime waters the fisheries research board was told here Wednesday.

The step may be taken in an effort to create an oyster fishing industry in areas when clam fish- ing' has been seriously depleted. The information was contained in a report presented the board's an nual meeting.

A fisheries official said the de- partment hss found it impossible to devise methods to restore clam beds. The depletion of the beds has occurred over a period of years and is due to the fact that young clams are accidentally kil- led by fishing methods.

An hour and a half after smoke was discovered coming from the dwelling of Mr. Alfred MacPhail. Bonshaw. a pile of smoulder- ing embers was all that was left to mark the spot where previously a seven roomed dwelling had stood. The fire started some time between nine and ten o'clock yesterday morn- lrg while Mr. MacPhall. the only occupant of the house was a short d' tance away at the village store.

Mr. MacPhall said he could not offer an opinion as to how the fire started. He had had a fire going in the kitchen range from 7.00 a.m. and as was his custom on many other occasions. had left it burning while he was away from the house.

Willing neighbours quickly ga- thered at the scene of the fire

a group of volunteer firefighters from the Village of Crapaud. The Crapaud boys arrived on the scene with an auxiliary gasoline pump and with a four hundred foot line of hose laid in the river were able to keep a stream on the ed- A ' ' , buildings. This no doubt prevented a more -erloua loss. .

Tribute At Ottawa To Sir Anthony

OTTAWA (CP)-Prime"Minlster St. Laurent Wednesday expressed "deep regret" at the news that Sir Anthony Eden has been forced to retire as Britain's prime minis- ter because of his health.

"I am sure we all share with the people of the United Kingdom their regrets at what seems to be - 1 hope not the end-but a ser- ious alteration ln the kind of serv- ice Sir Anthony Eden can render his fellow citizens."

Opposition Leader Diefenbsker joined the prime minister in pay- ing tribute in the Commons to the British leader.

I CCF leader Caldwell and Social Credit Leader law commented outside the Commons.

Mr. Caldwell said the resigna- tion of the 59- year -old British prime minister after 21 months in office does not surprise him ”be- cause of the obvious division of opinion , the public and the British cabinet over the way the Middle East situation has been handled."

Mr. Low said Sir Anthony's res- ignation is "to be regretted at a time like ."

SIR ANTHONY EDEN

WASHINGTON (AP) - dent Ehenhower Wednesday wished Sir Anthony Eden a speedy nscovery and "many useful years of happiness" but expressed no re- gret at his resignation.

Diplomats a ulated on the possibility of go early meeting between Eden's successor and El- aenhowe .

Eden himself had tried to ar- range is meeting but his overtures were rehurfed.

it was said then that Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles did not want to appear too friendly with either Eden or French Pre- mier Guy Mallet so soon after Eden and Mount had sent their troops into E and been de- liounccd for hat action by the United Nations and tho United States.

Officials also said there was s fundamrntal loss of confidence in Eden and his policies in Washing- ion.

The same loss of confidence may he said to apply to Mullet.

The statement spoke of Eden as "an old and good friend . . . A dedicated leader in the cause of freedom . . . A staunch believer in the need for unity among the commuihy of free nations."

When a reporter asked James C. Hagerty, White House press sec- retary. whether diplomatic pro incol prevented the president from expressing ”regret" at Eden's de- parture, Haizcrty pointed to the pa-

LONDON (CP) -Sir Anthony Eden aESigD3d Wednesday night as prime minister. He said his health does not allow him to can on.

The 59-year-old statesman step- ped down with the "utmost re- gret" after 21 months as Sir Win- ston Churchill's successor.

Robert A. (Rab) Butler. 54, gov- ernment leader in the House of Commons. was most talked of as Eden's likely successor.

There was some feeling that Harold Macmillan, 62. chancellor of the exchequer. was still in the running.

There also was a chance that a dark horse might emerge for the Job. Among those mentioned is this category was Duncan Sandys, Sir Winston Churchill's son-in law.

The new prime minister is ex- pected to take office today.

The leader of the opposition La bor party. Hugh Gaitskell, called for a general election "because the whole cabinet has publicly identified themselves completely with the foreign policy pursued. . . in the last three months-"

But there was no indication the opposition would get its wish.

GIVES HEALTH REASON

The Conservatives won the last election in May 1955 and have three years to go before another is necessary. But as the majority party they could call one at any time they desired.

Eden stepped down while the re-

still -were so from the ill - starred invasion of Egypt be authorised in October. in resigning he said:

''I do not feel that it is right for me to continue in dilce. . .know- ing that I shall U1ble to do my full duty.”

Eden's doctors in a statement said he has symptoms which re- call the serious abdominal opera- tions he underwent in 1053. and "in our opinion his health will or longer enable him to sustain the heavy burdens inseparable from the office of prime minister." Eden has been under unremit-

Eden and his wife left Do Street for their country residence Chequers, in Bucklnghamshire af- ter the announcement.

All political commentators had accepted official explanations that a visit Eden made to the Queen at Sandringham Tuesday was "routine" and without signifi- cance. The only political specula- tion in morning papers was that some cabinet changes were immi- nent.
