In an inspiring and moving program the Trinity Men's Associ- etion, Charlottetown, last night at a supper meeting in the Church Hall. said "an revoir" to their re- llrinr. President. Mr. Milton Bark- house. Assistant manager of the Royal Bank here. he leaves wed- nesday for Halifax to assume the post of Assistant Inspector, super- visor's Department.

The meeting. which was pre- sided over by the new Preside , Mr. George Newman. had as is guest speaker. Dr. Lloyd Shaw. Grace was said by Dr. G.D. steel Among the many guests present was Mrs. Keith S. Rogers, who, in the words of Mr. Barkhouse, "came to our help when we need- ed help most". The new organist of the church. Mr. Piayet.- was among those present and intro- duced to members of the Associ. atiot-..

Dr. Shaw took as the theme of his address "Inspiration" and gave a heart-warming and interesting discourse. He based his rather in- formal talk on "come" he received from a man who made a hobby of sending out quotations of an in- spit-ing nature designed to give en- couragcment and comfort to the receiver.

Dr. Shaw was introduced by Councillor Wendall Beaton and thanked at the conclusion of his address by Mr. Percy Turner.

He was happy. along with other members of the Association, to congratulate Miilton on his well deserved promotion. but sad be- cause Charlottetown. particularly Trinity United Church was losing "a most highly respected citizen. a great churchman, a kindly and Christian gentleman endowed with a marvellous personality". Mr. Barkhouse was closely con- nected with the Sunday School and during the past year "has been a faithful and sincere mem- ber of the Session" and a real friend to otherorganizations with- in the Church. He, Mrs. Bork- house and children would be greatly missed.

Following Mr. MncNair's ad- dress, the President then present- ed M.r. Barkhouse with a travel- ling bag.

In reply Mr. Barkhousc thanked "one and all from the hottom of my heart." He and his family would long remember their asso- ciations with Trinity church. Charlottetown. He paid tribttte to the Ministers and members of the congregation and was hopeful of returning some day.

Rev. J.T. Irwin presented Mr. Barkhouse with Church member- ship certlflcates. Rev. H.E D. Ashford referred briefly to Mr. Barlzlhouses association with the Church here emphasizing what it meant and felt confident he would go forth to continue his good work.

Mr. Lorne Wigginton. President or the Men's Association, Mont- ague, expressed greetings on be- half of his organization and ex- tended best wishes to Mr. Bark- house on his new appointment.

Mr. Doith Brown conveyed the thanks of the meeting to the W0- men's Association for the very fine supper.

Australia Needs Much More Cool To Supply Power

SYDNEY. Australia. Jan. 7 - (CP) - Australia set a record for coal production in 1951. but even when more than 300.000 tons of

imported coal were added was still far short of meeting the domestic demand.

Almost all electric power in

Australia comes from steam gen. erating plants fired by coal. and vast expansion of coal-mining is seen by experts as necessary fo meet the ever-growing demands for electric power.

Australia in former years was a coal-exporting nation. but last year was forced to import heavy supplies on top of the record do-

mestic production of 13,500,000 tons.

To step up production to the estimated demand for 20,000,000

tons of coal yearly by 1960. cap- ital expenditures of at least I50.- 000.000 will be needed. This est- imate was given by Samuel F. Cochran. chairman of the coal board.

Cochran said mine owners have lmd neither the profits. incent- ives or resources to develop their mines themselves. and as a result he forecast huge government spending on mine development. mainly by enlarging existing sna- chlncry pools which hire or sell equipment. to coalmine owners.

Political Problem

Apart from currency and ma- terial difflcultles. main obstacles

reme Allied Headquarters by Brig.- Gen. Charles T. Lanham. chief of Shape's public information divis- ion, Lanham said Eisenhower does not intend to say anything furth- er. He added the General "hopes this statement. will convince our citizens and those of the other Nato (North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganization) countries of the re-

, nsibillt he feels for his present duty."

Eisenhower admitted ,in the statement that he is a Republican. The genersl'a declaration was a douse of cold water to Europeans. "It will certainly be difficult to find another man whose very nama will inspire as much confid- ence as Eisenhower's." said the Evening standard of London. General Alfred M. arusnther. chief of staff at shape. is widely considered the man most likely to succeed to the Job should Eisen-

hower be given the nomination Highlands

to such an expansion so far have been political. The powerful Com- munist-controlled Miners Federa- tion has resisted mechanization at

every step. Man-shift production has increased where machines have been introduced. but ah- sentceism has increased at the

same time.

The present system of payment. for coal. based on cost of produc- tion plus a percentage profit. of- fers no inducement to owners to mechanize their mines or use ma- chinery efflciently. In 1049. when 2 per cent of Australian coal was mechanically landed. production per manshift was 2.91 tons. This was actually 17 per cent less than in 1938. when only 10 per cent of coal was mechanically loaded. Greatest disappointment to those charged with getting more coal at almost any price was the failure in 1951. of the newly-introduced attendance bonus. This bonus gives about an extra day's pay to each mlneworker. time or contract. every fortnight that. he works full time. Mincrs' leaders. who said it was a threat to the wages sys- tem anti a lost union principles. saw it as possible deterrent to Communist-called or Communist- inspired petty strikes. They or- dered weekly one-day stoppages in protest, which lost 400.000 tons of coal in the five weeks the pro- tests lasted. . In spite of the honus. there were 34 per cent more strikes. excluding the anti-bonus strikes themselves. than there were in 1950. Strike losses averaged 42 tons it worker a year compared with 35 tons in 1950.

Ratlone-ti l'ows-r ,

The record production of 13.- 500.000 tons in 1951 was nearly 8.- 000.000 tons short of the demand. This meant rationed electricity. heavy cuts in rail transport and underproduction of iron and steel. Industry in New South Wales. main manufacturing atafe. has for months been working with one powerleas day in five. Coal stocks held by power stations have dwlndled far below normal.

Main reason for last. year's re- cord production was a huge in- crease in open-cut. or above- ground. .mlnIng.

But for many years it will be underground coal which will have to carry Australian industry. It's the best coal. anti unriergrounti resources are estimated to last it

Teachers Urge Equal Cost Of living Bonus

The regular monthly meeting of the City School Board was held yesterday afternoon with Dr. R. G. Lea in the chair, who welcom- ed Colonel Keith M. Johnston as a member of the Board appoint- ed by the City Council in place of Mr. Ian A. Burnett resigned.

A delegation of teachers with Miss Ann Matheson as leader waited on the Board urging an

of the

equal cost of living bonus 3200.00 to all teachers on staffs of the City Schools. It was decided that non-resident pupils who have not paid their tuition fees must leave the schools within 30 days.

The report of the Art Super- visor was read as was also the report of the Truant officer.

Mr. J. A. S. Williams was granted leave to allow him to at- tend a meeting of the Directors of the Canadian Teachers Assoc- lailon in Ottawa.

Mrs. Lantz.and Colonel John- ston were appointed a committee to look into the possibility of securing some one to take over Physical Training in the four City Schools.

Research Council Activities Reviewed

UITAWA. Jan. 7 -(CP)-- Canada's National Research Coun- cil roamed widely through the universe of science in 1951. its ex-

perts reached into fields as varied as analyzing the air of distant planets, producing new atomic materials and developing better

anti-freeze for car engines.

The council. government agency for co-ordlnating scientific studies, summarized its 1951 work in a year-end statement today, and it indicated defence and defenc pro- duction were in the forefront of its activities. But the versatile scien- tists of the council ranged into many other areas.

On the atomic front, the council announced the discovery of two new isotopes-radio-active part- icles useful in industry and med-

it-ine- at the chalk River pile. These were "calcium-41" and "ac-tinlum-929." which have a ra- ritc-amv "half-life" respectively of 120,000 years and 06 minutes. whether practical uses have been found for the new isotopes

was not indicated.

in its defence work. the council concentrated largely on aero- nautical. building and radar re- search. For supersonic aircraft de- velopment, the council put into operation is wind tunnel with air speeds up to five times the speed of sound.

In the field of radar. the council reported progress-without dis- c.0slng details-on its application to artillery fire control and in the detective of aircraft. It said a new design of a medium-range radar used in the Second world War now is going into large-scale pro- duction.

with the defence of the North growing in importance. the coun- cli continued studies on the best means of building in that area. No specific findings were report- cd. but the council said plans are being made for a "permafrost" re- search station in an unnamed lo- cation.

in the field of applied biology, N.R.C. scientists came up with some food discoveries.

One was a new method of mak- ing citric acid from sugar-beet molasses. Another was a. means of improving the flavor-retaining qualitltes of some vegetable oils. though the council noted this was at the expense of some of the nu- trition value.

Railway shippers of food will benefit, from a few other develop- ments. constructlon changes in refrigerator cars' ice bunkers and air-circulation systems will drop their temperature by five degrees. The council said the railways have adopted the innovations.

in its chemistry studies.' the council brought out a raln-repel- lnnt paint for airplane wind- screens that already is ouiseliing available production. It worked on fire-resistant paints, moth- proofing of frabics and the im- provement of anti-freeze.

Probing the heavens in the in- terests of "pure" science. the council's astro-physicists studied. among other things. the atmos- pheres of the far-off planets Ura- nus and Neptune. They found hydrogen is abundant in them. Another continuing study that of the cosmic-ray

bombard-

mistery to the scientists.
