OTTAWA, Dec. flD-(CD-Un- ltcd States scientists reported tfF day to an international gathering of geologists that no apparent sub-surface effects have been found of the atomic bomb blasts touched off on the Bikini Atoll in the south Sea islands more than a year ago.

They told the first joint annual misting of the Geological Assoc- ‘iation of Canada and the Geo- logical Society of America that five holes were drilled on Bikini Island to a combined depth of 4.- 510 feet last summer but only nor- msl sediments were found.

Salary Increases 0i Civil Servants

Charlottetown employees of the Dominion Government affected by recently announced wages increase point out that the phrasing of the annual cement, recently made by the Government, was confusing to the general public. They call at- tention to that part of the an- nouncement which gave the im- pression that Grade Two clerks were to receive a $40 a month raise and Grade One clerks $30.

These figures were arrived at by totalling various increases since 1939. The latest increase amounts to from $9.00 to $15.00, In the case of Grade One clerks and from $13.00 to $18.00 in the case of Grade Two clerks, depending or. length of service. The new rates brings the present salary range of Grade One clerks to $1,880 pr annum, replacing the old figure of $1,272. In the case of Grade Two clerks, thc present salzfy range is now raised to $1,860 as compared to the old salary of $1,704. Figures quoted are in re- ference to clerks who have reach- ed the top of their salary range.

Thssc increases resulted from a brief presented by the Civil Ser- vice Federation of Canada to the Government, in August of this year, asking that a 25 per cent increase over 1939 salaries, with- out prejudice to cost of living bonus, etc., be granted. .

An analysis of the figures quot- ed above show that the increase granted was approximately 50 per cent of what was requested. Be- cause of thc general disappoint- melrt expressed hy Government employees, filrther representations are being made by the various or- ganized groups of civil servants, to have the wage rates reconsider- ed once more.

Civil servants emphasize, that the recent salary increase ranged from, $9.00 to $18.00 per month. not $30.00 to $40.00 as unwittingly- suggested. '

Departmental experts made it. clear that any and all items in which there have been direct ne- gotiations between Canada and the United states will enter at the new concession rate on and after January l. While sccd potatoes arc not affected, concessions are to be delayed on dried white or Irish potatoes exported from Canada to the United States.

In Qflawg rho Fisheries Coun- cil of Canada is making a study of thc situation to determine to what extent the Atlantic Fisheries will be affected by the decision. Although the 1948 rates will re- main on ihe same level as those of 1947. it is felt there may be cer- tain losses arising from chanfle! of export marketing plans.

It was announced here on NOV- ember‘ 11 that the U.S. iarlfy con- cessions on Canadian fish and fish products would come into effect on January 1. Fish exporters and pocessors who planned In accord- anco with this announcement made by experts of the Dominion Gov- ernment on their return from Geneva, may be forced to make

drastic ehanGes in their current shipping programs Despite many assurances from

top experts of the Department of External Affairs, National Revenue and Trade and Commerce that the deferment: were "not. of a serious nature“. the list shows some 100 tariff itbnis affected, and in many cases, several products come un- der n single tariff item.

The new concessions will come into effect as soon as s number of countries who as yet have not signed the agreement. formally fix their signatures to it.

An Artificial Insemination Unit was established during the summer under the prcmotion of the follow- ing Breed Associations: Holstein. Ayrshire, Jersey. Guernsey and Short-hem. Owing to housing dif- ficulties the Unit was first con- ducted st Falconiwood Farm from which point it was transferred to the Experimental Farm where it is now opera .

It is felt that the Unit has made a good start and it l-s expected, that its influence will extend over a wider field. The Department of Agriculture rendered a silbstantial, financial assistance in launching and carrying on this project.

The policy indicated has con- stituted a great forivard step in the enhancement oi’ the fine potato reputation wihich this Province enjoys.

Potato markets have been quite satisfactory. A serious difficulty hOWBl/ei‘. has been experienced in the shortage of refrigerator and difficulties have been countered in making deliveries of seed to the southern United States. It is expected however, that orders will be ultimately filled and that cancellations will not be experi- enced.
