and without crowding.

'1 he building is brick faced with ,-. brick wall dividing the base- ment into two sections, one area of which is allocated to truck put; and other heavy equipment. This section is 35 by 111 feet.

on the main floor there is a centre entrance with a large show- room on the right with the main office immediately behind, while in the rear is the Parts and ship- ping department.

At the left of the pntrance there is a rest room and a. powder room and at the rear the entire space is designed as a service area with an exit leading to the side street )usi of! the main highway.

The roof is of built up design 'ixith centre drainage; the whole siructure is provided with fire section walls.

Work will be continued on the building throughout the winter, and it is expected to be ready for occupation by April 1st. Plymouth and Chrysler cars and Fargo trucks are handled by F. R. Mc- Laine Ltd., which has been handi- capped for the past 19 months as I result of the disastrous fire which destroyed their building and extensive equipment on Grafton Street, at that time.

Water Shortage Noted At Station

Mr. Warren A. Burns in charge of the Meteorological Station at the Experimental Station in ipeaking of the reports from var- .nus parts of the rating a shortage of water stated iliat this was definitely the case according to his- records.

"For the year, up to the end of November," said Mr. Burns, "we have had a precipitation of only 14.80 inches, with no rain in De- rnmbcr to add up in the calcul- ator. We should get an average of 42.62 inches for a year so that at present we are short 7.82 inches. It would require six feet nr snow to make up this deficit, as it takes 10 inches of snow to ninke one inch of writer."

According to Mr. Burns' figures Silpf0lllbCr. 19-12, which was the wettest month on record when 12.40 inches of rain fell. Also in that month on the 22nd, 6.45 linhrs fell in the 24 hour period.

Tiin heaviest precipitation re- f'rll'lil'l(i for any year was 54.56 inches in 1941. The driest year ins 1911 when 31.80 inches fell, uiili llay of that month account- ing for only .82 inches.

Increase Noted 9” I In Movement Of 1 Railway Fleighi

A sharp increase in the number 6ft carloads of potatoes shipped last month was responsible for the Province showing an increase of approximately 500 cars exported over the total brought into the Island via the C.N.R. car ferry route at Borden.

This November there were 1,915 carloada exported, an increase of 521 over the 1,354 shipped in the comparable month a. year ago. At the same time there were 1,301 carioads moved across the Strait from Cape Tormentine. This was 140 fewer than came here in No- vember of 1951.

shipments of potatoes last month were very heavy with 1,399 leaving compared to the 526 of is year ago This movement offset the traffic loss occasioned by the reduction in cars of roughwood from 205 last November to only 14 this year. Other exports, with figures for November of last year in brackets, are: empty barrels, ,0 (0); fish, 9 ('1); livestock, 95 (86); meats, 24 (32); turnips, 190 (162) moss 3 (8); lumber, 12 (8); scrap iron, 9 (13); railway coal, 0 (52).

Among the imports the greatest decrease came in sand, stone and grave with only 31 cars moving this November' compared to the 111 of last year. Among the other items brought here this year were autos. 50 (-15); empty bags. 19 (14); coal, 256 (321); fruits, 8 (15) ;flour and feed, 119 (125); fertilizer, 17 (19); gas and oils, 224 (198): hardware, 3 (30); lime, 50 (87): lumber, 35 (30),; livestock, 20 (26): meaki. 14 (7); machin- cry, 20 (2); sugar, 15 (21); ties, 12 (0); railway material, 10 (19); vegetables, 3 (8); canned goods, 25 (25); brick and cement, 9 (22); building aierial, 24 (0).

Of th potatoes shipped out last month 712 cars originated at points b e t w e e n Charlottetown, Summersido and Borden, while of the total exports 988 cars were from the same area. Another 345 cars of potaoes started east and south of Charlottetown and the remaining 3-12 carloads were from west of Summerside. The total traffic exported showed 516 cars from the territory east and south of this city and 371 from west of Summerslde.

An overwhelming majority of the carioads brought into the Pro- vince were for the central section as 1,102 were headed for destina- tions from Borden to Charlotte- town. Only 123 went to points east and south of the capital and 82 to the district west of Summerside.

Attended conference 0n'Fishery Problems

Benefit to both packers and fish- ermen ls expected to accrue as a result of overtures made to the Dominion Department of Fisheries last week, according to Mr. S. H. Burhoe who headed the delegation from the P. E. 1. Fisheries Feder- ation. Delegations from Nova Sco- ur. and New Brunswick also were in attendance at the conferences with the Deputy Minister of Fish- eries, Mr. Stewart Bates.

The legal re-wording of the Fisheries Act regulation respecting canned fish will clear up obscure points. New specifications have been agreed upon for the net and dtrained weights of processed lob- 5 er.

Considerable discussion t o o k place regarding the inspection of fresh and frozen lobster meat. "'From the favourable way in which the delegation was received," said Mr. Burhoe, "we are hopeful that the wishes of the industry will be granted in this respect."

"On the whole." he added, "we were deeply gratified with the hearing and believe that as a re- suit, the matter of processing and packing lobsters will be placed on an equal basis throughout all its phases."

Diesels Planned For Sydney-Truro Run

OTTAWA, Dec. 12 -(CP)- Transport Minister Chevrier said today in the commons that he has not been able to get information on a report that the Canadian Na- tional Railways proposed using diesel engines on its run between Sydney and '11-uro in Nova Scotia. He promised to give Clarie Gil- lis (CCF-Cape Breton South) an answer on the point Monday. Mir. Gillis had told the minister he re- celved a telegram about the report from Freeman Jenkins, Maritime: president . of the United Mine Worigers of America (OCL).

On Dec. 9, Steve Doihanty, dis- trict UMW vice-president, told a union meeting at Glace Bay he had learned reliably that 10 diesel locomotives were to be put on the Sydney-Truro run in the next few months. 1 Members of the UMW are em- ployed in Maritlmes coal mines, which provide the fuel for the ONR's rolling stock in that area.

To Head lied Cross Campaign For 1953

Brigadier W. W. Reid (above) was appointed Provincial chair- man of the 1958 Campaign Com- mittee at the monthly meeting of the Provincial Red Cross Execu- tive held yesterday afternoon. He replaces Mr. Edwin C. Johnstone who has held this position in such a capable manner over the past several years.

The meeting was presided over by Judge L. G. Lewis,'the Provin- cial President, who reported the receipt of a s500.00 bequest from the estate of the late Mrs. Flo- rence M. Goodwiil, a former hon- orary vice-president of the divis- ion who was an ardent Red Cross worker and supporter all her life.

Batisfactory reports were given by the chairmen of the different standing committees. Dr. MacMil- lan's report revealed that 80 chil- dren with orthopaedic defects had attended the clinics conducted by Dr. '1'. B. Acker in November when the following were referred for treatment:-a two weeks' old club foot baby, a twelve year old boy wltli a wry neck; a. two-year-old with a splna biflda as well as one with severe ricketts to go to the Children's Hospital at Halifax, while still another two year old with both a spine. binds. and a dislocated hip was referred to the Shrinersi Hospital at Montreal.

Two children returned from the Shriners' during the month, and another small girl with both hips dislocated was sent to the Chil- dren's Hospital at Halifax for treatment. A girl with a. cleft palate is under treatment in Montreal, and 14 other children have resumed corrective treatment for postural and foot defects now that Mia Jackson has returned to the province.

Junior Activities

The Junior Red Cross report given by Dr. L. W. Shaw proved that 520 schools have enrolled to date this year 'and that the director, Miss Bowness, has visited 2'10 of these branches during the fail months and states that 94 branches are making portfolios for exchange with foreign countries and that 138 branches particip- ated ln selling 5,600 calendars to augment the Handicapped Chil- dren's Fund. The High School Council organized in Charlotte- town in October has held four meetings since that time, and has assisted with a number of projects outstanding among which was the service they rendered during the November Blood Donors Clinics held in Charlottetown.
