(Canadian Press)

' GLACE BAY, N. 5., March 27.— Exhausted and feclig the twinges of frostbites, Jimmy Donovan and Jimmy MacLennan of New Aberdeen were wearing wan grins in their hospital cots tonight.

In the light of 15 hours on a veer- ing icc-flce, with rescue coming just as fortitude began to wane, they felt that in their present situation there was little to complain about. However, doctors said it would be many days before they recovered completely from the hardship suf- fered by nerves and bodies in the course of their experience on the ice.‘ .

To airmanship and seamanship. went credit for the rescue. A couple of Cape Breton flying ‘club PllOl-S sighted the marooncd boys efllli! th's morning; an hour later, fol- lowing directions given in siSMlS from the plane. fishermen had them aboard and headed for the

shore. The nightlong vigil W55 over. Meanwhile, the Government

Petition Presented Yesterday to Pro- vincial Government

Yesterday a delegation or the Wholesale. Merchants waited upon the Government, On their behalf Mr. H. K. S. Hamming submitted |the following memorandum on the "subject for the information of the Government.

There are in Canada nigh. dis- tinct Bulk Sales Acts. one in each lof the Provinces with the excep- ‘tion of Prince Edward Island. All of those Acts have been introduc- cd into the several Provincial Leg- islature as Government measures, the first having been enacted in the year 19l0 by the Province of Que- , bcc, and the second in 1918 in On- tario.

Both of these Acts differ from all others in several particulars, the reason being that they were formu- lated, before the placing on the Statute Book of the Federal Bank- ruptcy Act in 1920. The Saskatche- wnn Act appears to have been pas- scd just about that time, for, whilc it differs from the two preceding Acts, it does not take advantage of the provisions of the Bankruptcy Act. In September, 1920, the Com- mission on Uniformity of Legisla- Ition in Canada, at a conference in Ottawa, agreed upon the model Bulk Sales Act which [has since that date been adopted, with only minor differences, by Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, Alberta, and British Columbia, and it is an Act based upon this model that the wholesale dealers, the bankers and others‘ in Prince Edward Island are now asking you in enact at the present session of the Legislature.

The Bulk Sales Act has only one object in view, viz: the prevention of fraud. It applies only to retail dealers, commission merchants and manufacturers, and does not affect farmers or fishermen in any way. The provisions of the model Act are simple and straightforward, and no retail dealer, commission merchant, or manufacturer who wishes to play fair with his creditors can find anything in the Act to which he can with fairness take exception. In every case the Governments of the other eight Provinces have passed their Acts at the request of the wholesale houses, bunkers and oth- crs supplying credit, and these re- quests wcie‘ made in self-defense because of many heavy lossesex- pericnccd as a result of retailers and others having suddenly disposed of their businesses, frequently at ridiculously low figures. and then falling to divide the proceeds of their sales among their creditors, in some cases leaving the country, fearing prosecution.

Bulk Sales Acts are very strongly favoured by ihc Canadian Credit Men's Trust Association, which is a non-profit institution composed of about 1,300 wholesale houses in all lines of business, covering ihc whole Dominion from coast to coast, who have banded together in an effort to raise the standard of business morality and business ethics in Canada. In their opinion, a Bulk Sales Act aslsts mntcrinllyr in main- taining the credit lcvcl of the sev- eral Provinces. Commercial credit, after all, is but another word for confidence, and the confidence of tho wholesale supply houses. banks

and others is naturally strengthen- ed when they know that the Gov- ernments of the Provinces are doing everything in their power to pre- vent fraud and dishonesty.

First: The vendor will not dis- tribute tho full amount among his creditors.

Second: He will probably ply some of his creditors in full and give nothing at all to other cred- ltors.

Under the model Bulk Bales Act, neither of these contingencies is possible without both the vendor and the purchaser committing an indictable offense. ‘Under the Act it is tho duty of the purchaser to pro- tect himself and to assure himself of one of the following:

First: That the creditors have been paid in full.

Second: ‘That the creditors have waived the provisions of the Act in writing.

Third: ‘Phat the creditors con- sent to the sale and to the appoint- ment of a Trustee whose duties will be similar to those of a ‘Trustee under the Bankruptcy Act, with this difference, that his fees are limited to a. 3 Der cent. commission upon the amounts of cash actually dis- tributed among the creditors.

In order to obtain a waiver, of the consent of the creditors to a bulk sale, it is only necessary to obtain a. favourable vote of 60 per cent. in number and 60 per cent. in amount of those creditors whose claims exceed $50.00. Another pro- vision of thefAct is that any attack made by a creditor upon a. bulk sale must be made by court proceedings within six months from the date of sale. The New Brunswick Act which we have asked you to employ as a model, differs from the Model Act in that it allows only Your months in which an action may be insti- tuted, but we ask that the term be made six months in the Act that we trust that you will pass.

In conclusion, we wish to assure you that the request we now make of you is the unanimous desire of every wholesaler and banker in the Province with whom we have had an opportunity to discuss this mat- ter.

The above respectfully submitted.

The petition was supported by Mr. S. A. MacDonald and Mr. George DeBlois. Hon. Dr. MacMil- lan in behalf of the Government, promised every consideration to the petition.

Th re e Convicts Escape Prison Yesterday

ALBANY, N. Y" Mar. 27—-(A. P) —The escape of three convicts yesterday from the new Medium Security Priwn at Walkill, was gn- nounced today by the State Com- missioner of correction, Dr. Walter N.
