An air ministry spokesman said the while-painted Valiant-one of four flown from Britain to the test area-was manned by five men.

N0 DETAILS

The official announcement gave .no details of the type of weapon exploded, but government officials announced previously the explos- ions would be "in the megation (l.000.000 tons of TNT) range" and would be high air bursts without heavy fall-out.

Britain began its series of nu- clear tests in the face of a sus- tained protest campaign by the Japanese government. Also pres-

adopting a Prince Edward Island tartan was expressed at 1' meet- ing of the Caledonian Club last night. It was agreed that the pro- motion of such a project would be contrary to the principles of a Scottish moiety because the spread of such an idea could en- danger the whole clan tartan sys- tem-

The project was first mooted about two years ago by members of the club but the matter was soon dropped when it was realized what the adverse results might be.

Recent reports that a private group of individuals had resurrect- ed the idea of a provincial tartan were discussed at a meeting of the club last night and resulted in a unanimous denounce i of the idea.

Club membe . felt that very encouragement should be given to weaving in the Province-but that weavers should be discouraged in any at , to create another tar- tar. This prerogative. they felt. was still one which rested with the ancient Scottish families.

It was unanimously agreed that I spokesman for the club should make known to the Provincial Government its views on the mat- t

A letter received recently from the Lord Lyon. King of Arms by the Club's un responding secretary. George V. Fraser was read to the Club. The Lord Lyon is the final authority and without his permis- sion a tartan can not be officially registered.

LETTER QUOTED

"A,pIications could only be en- tertained from the Provincial Gov- ernment. and.would be strongly discouraged and probably refus- ed" states the letter from the Lord Lyon. "Historians and clans- folk are deeply worried lest this new idea of province, lawn. and college tartans may wreck the whole clan tartan system and the spirit of the'clen. as it would largely supercede clan tartans. The National Association of Scot- tish Woolen Manufacturers are also much worried on practical and sentimental trade grounds. as retailers cannot stock so many tartans. I am sternly pointing out that these yI0p0BIlI are contrary to the whole concept of the tartan as a clan cognlsence. and thoroughly . un-Scottish. Un-clan- nlsh trade checks might easily kill the whole Scottish set-up in Canada. ..
