closer co-operation between the teacher and the rate-payers. es- pecially the parent rate~payer3 in the district; Mr. Lloyd Henderson. who gave a paper on "question- ins": and Mr. H. H. Shaw, chief superintendent of education, who answ ad questions asked by the teachers. Choral singing by pupils of Prince Street School, under the direction or Miss Lillian Mac- Kenaie. was also a feature of the morning morram.

Adult Eduoauon

The economic position of Prince Edward Island teachers was decidedly weak and they were In need of a teachers’ credit union to help solve their financial prob- lems. Dr. J. T. Croteau told the teachers last night. He was speak- ins on credit union; as one of the phases of adult education.

Dr. Croteau declared he did not claim a credit union would solve all the economic difficulties of the ‘ " s. "It is no panacea." he said. “But it will at least offer some help."

A credit union would provide the teachers of the province with the machinery to "save together, pool their savings with ~ proper gage. zllarcb and use the money to their own advantage." The Professor suggested the teachers take up the study of credit unions in their study clubs. "If it were possible to do so with the adult education movement, so much the better." he said.

Teachers should study system

The teachers should study and learn whether the credit union system held anything for them. They should decide whether there was a possibility of forming one large, or several small credit un- ions members of the pro- fesslon.

"Do teachers need a credit un- ion7—Decidedly, Yes!" said Pro- fessor Oroteau.

Adult Education Movement

He reviewed for the 500 assem- bled teachers. the growth of the adult education movement from the start made just after the world war. The United States had decided to give soldiers intelli- gence tests, but it was found the

Anniversary Of Storming‘ Of Ridge Has Special Signiyf,-‘ icance This Year.

(By W. W. Murray Canadian Pres sum Writer)

UITAWA, April 8—'I'he 19th anniversary of the storming of Vimy Ridge by the Canadian corps on April 9, 1911, has this year a aaecial significance. It synchron- izes with the preparations now ap- proaching completion for the larg- est peace-tlme movement across the Atlantic ever undertaken by Canadian.=—the pilgrimage to Vimy.

On July 26 Canada's national war memorial, acclaimed by auth- orities as the most magnificent structure adorning the battlefields of the Great War, will be unveil- ed on Vimy Ridge. Hopes are strongly entertained that King Ed- ward VIII may be able to perform that rite.

His Majesty has been approach-' ed on the matter, but royal par- ticipation in the ceremony is hedged about by the inhibitions of court mouming.

8000 Plan Crossing

six thousand Canadians will cross the Atlantic in a. solemn pil- grimage, not only to the scene of Canada's triumph un~Vimy but" also to the cemeteries which dot the ancient battlefront from the North Sea to Amlens. From Lon- don word has been received that at least an equal number of Can- adians and old countrymen, who served i.n the Canadian forces but who settled in the United King-

Fear iiova Sootia Youth Drowned

(C. I’. By Guardian’: Special Wire) BREDGEWATER. N. 8., April 8 —Swift-running tides of the storm- tossed Lahave River were believed tonight to have claimed the life of 18-year old Robert Cleversey of Conquerall Bank, five miles from here.

He rowed off on the Lahave Riv- er Tuesday morning in a, small dory without telling his family where he was going and has not been seen since. Search parties led by Royal Canadian Mounted Police have scanned the river and its banks since last night without finding trace of him.

,Heavy storms this week—-which have already caused six drownings in Nova Scotia waters—have willp- ped the river into a fury and there was little possibility Cleverseys dory could have remained afloat. Cleversey is one of 4 family of 12 children.

OTTAWA, April 8 — Parliament started a 12 day Easter recess to- day after Chief Justice Duff gave Royal assent to the accumulated legislation passed through both Houses.

In a last-minute spurt, the gov- ernment bill to establish a national employment commission was nlshed through the House and senate, giv- mg the administration free scope during the adjournment to make necessary appointments and start it going.

Unfinished Business

Left among unlinlsh ” " was the government's relief bill which, among other provisions, would enable the Dominion to 51:11 direct relief agreements with ‘the provinces. The agreements lapsed March 31, the énd of the fiscal year and payments which were increas- ed '15 per cent for the winter months were cut 15 per cent in April. In the meantime, it is as- sumed payments will continue from mouth to month until new agree- ments are negotiated but the rates have not been disclosed.

The other two are Miss Nellie Granger, heroine hostess of the ill fated plane, and C. C. Challinor of Cleveland and New York.

It was Miss Granger who stumb- led through miles of brush and over a mountain trail to bring aid to the injured.

Jack Frye, President of TWA, said in New York he was unable to say whether a break in the radio direction beam was a contributory cause of the disaster.

Protest Proposed. Tax on Fuel

HALIFAX, April B.—-Opposition to the government's proposal to impose a tax of one cent a gallon on fuel oil was voiced at a public hearinz today before the Legislature's law amend- ments committee.

Refining, mining and other ill- dustries as well as port business and a. number of small public utilities would be seriously affected by the tax, speakers told the committee. An Act already on the statute books but not proclaimed provides for the levy in some instances and the new bill would extend it to cover all fuel oil consumed in the pro- vince. Hon. A. S. MacMl1lan, who introduced the measure in the House, intimated at the time it would be proclaimed soon.

Objects To Time Limit I

The French Foreign Minister, Pi- erre-Etlenne Flandin, did not like Mr: Eden's suggested time limit.‘ He agreed as to the need for an early end to hostilities, but thought

April 14 early enough to consider the replies from Italy and Ethi- opia. The British Foreign Secretary significantly added that if Senor de Madariaga. failed to secure peace, then he must reserve the at- tltude of the British government as to future steps which they might have to take. Denmark and Portugal agreed. ‘

Mr. Eden ‘further submitted to the committee a report on concrete cases of the use of mustard gas by the Italians.

The 1925 convention, which both Italy and Ethiopia signed, the Foreign Secretary asserted, was absolute in its prohibitions, nor was there any doubt that mustard gas came within those prohibltlolls.

Questions Authority

M. Flandin, who earlier had urg- ed that alleged Ethiopian atrccltzcs should also be illvestigatecl, ques- tioned whether the committee of 13 had authority to llivestlgnte. Eventually El. subcommittee of Jur- Lsts was appoined, which will re- port tomorrow on the committees competence to investigate. _ Parallel with the-committee med‘ I lug, Mr. Eden, with M. Flandin and Joseph Poul-Boncour, French Min- ister of state. discussed Chancellor Hitler's proposals. the French plan for 3 European system of mutual guarantees, and Germa.ny‘s watch, on the Rhine. -
