"it is clear that many lanes in Ihe coming session will siifect our Province directly. Take na- tioiial defence for instance. De- termination of the Government to strengthen defence forces indi- cates further growth and develop- ment of the air station at Sum- mersidc. This is a key station in North Atlantic defence and one of the few in all Canada where expert instruction in long-range and Arctic air navigation is taught.

Announcement that the Gov- crnment would implement and amend the Agricultural Prices Support Act and the Fisheries Prices Support Act this session ivas of first importance to P.E.i.. Mr. MaeNaught continued. Most recent price index issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics showed that Prince Edward Is- land farmers suffered heavier proportionate losses than those of other Provinces in falling agri-

cultural prices, he noted. It was welcome reassurance that the Government would step in.

Outlook Good

Dealing with domestic problems, the Speech said that "employ. ment and prosperity remain at s high level iii Canada."

"The prospects are good for continued private investment in construction and capital develop- ment throughout the present year The demand for consumer goods of all kinds continues to be strong.

“However, seasonal and local factors have given rise to a sig- nificant amount of temporary regional unemployment during the past few months and the secur- ity provisions established under unemployment insurance legisla- tion have been called upon meet the first important test since they were brought into effect.

"Although a high proportion of persons temporarily unemployed are actually in receipt of unem- ployment insurance benefits, you will be asked to give considera- tion to a bill to widen the scope and extend the benefits of unem- ployment insurance."

Among the categories not now covered by the act are the lum- bering industry in provinces otli- er than British Columbia; hunt- ing; trapping; fishing; agriculture; domestic service; hospital staffs: professional nurses; teachers, snd members of the various police forces.

Benefits paid under the net de- pend on the amount of the cou- tribution paid by the worker while he is employed.

The Speech said negotiations are proceeding with the Provinces on housing. the Trans-Canada Highway and forest conservation. Progress is being made in co-op- eration with the Provinces on the development of more ade- quate heslth facilities and set- vicea. ~

Stresses Value S’ OI X-Ray Survey

New cases 0f tuberculosis have been brought tn light in the pre- sent survey by the P. E. I. Tuber- culosis League iii Cliarlottetoivn. Major Hodson of the T. B. League at 84 Kent Street slates that the number of people having the X- rays dune this year has fallen off considerably from previous years, and reminds the people of Char- lottetown that an x-ray should he

taken bi-aniiuallv at. least.

"Ii IS only In IIIIS wav," he states. “that. we can arrest the development of this (Iisease in Prince, Edward Island." Some of

the cases which have been found positive this month ivere nega- tive two years ago, but because the disease has been discovered in its earliest stages this time it is possible to arrest its development.

In addition to possible TB the

x-ray has detected many other chest troubles, pleurisy, cardiac diseases, bronchial trouble and

even cancer. In the i949 survey the League's mobile x-ray unit found 30 new active cases of TB and 534 other chcst abnormal- ties. "People should be x-rayed not with the idca of TB alone in mind,“ lie said, "but as a general physical check-up."

Major Hodson states that TB is a serious menace in P. E. I. and costs the public more than any other disease, The surest and cheapest way of detecting it in its early stages. before outward symp- toms appear, is by x-ray.

The x-ray clinic at 84 Kent Street. opposite CFCY is open from 10 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 5 p.m. daily from iliondagy to Friday, and in addition from 7 to 8 pm. on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings. It is antici- pated that the clinic ivill con- tinue in its present location uiilil mid-March. An appointment is not needed.

Seek To Improve Cooking Quality 0f Canadian Potatoes

O'l'1'AW:\.I"cb. Iti till") Scientists are going in he asked to find out what makes some po-

tatoes tiirii dark afti they are cooked.

The Cilillldlllil Horticultural Council yesterday adopted a res- olution to get scientific research workers in (lovcrnniciit experi-

mental stations, schools and coi- leges across the country ivorking on the problem.

Potato growers, seeking adopt- ion of the resolution, said a great deal of research was needed to lmiprove the cooking quality of the Canadian potato.

Cells of some potatoes appear- ed too tender for the cooking pot, breaking clown nnd causing the potato 1'0 change to a brownish color. I,

The research workers will be asked to study the effects of soil on growth and the amounts of fertilizers, such as potash and phosphate. which should be used to bring forth s better potato.

fire Hazards Emphasized In Trade Bil_._l_.ellei

The need for stricter fire haz- ard regulations is emphasized in the following letter flrom the sec- rotary of the Charlottetown Board c! Trade to the City Council, dated January l4 last:

"The City Clerk,

"City Hall,

"Dear Sin-

"At the Council meeting of this Board held on Jan. 10th past the matter of fire hazards in places of public assembly in this City was fully discussed.

“Lt was accordingly recommend- ed that we write the City Council suggesting that the appropriate City by-Law be amended giving the Building Inspector authority to invoke the National Exit Code for this City or as an alternative to have regulations drawn up under same for this City as ap- proved by the Council and give the Building Inspector authority to enforce same in this regard.

"It would sppesr that there sre no regulations in this City at the praent time on this import- ant matter and this Board feels that there surely should be.

“Would you kindly therefore place this matter on an early agenda of the Council for their earnest consideration in the in-

terests of better fire prevention in our City. “Yours very truly, "A. Walthen Gaudci. "Secretary."

“There is no doubt that the campaign will go over the top by Monday night," said Mr. Roy Cudimore, president of the Y. M. C. A. at the banquet fur the "Y” campaigners last night.

He stated that one third of the campaign cards is still out and that only $800 are needed to reach the objective of $14,500. Of great help in bringing up the total received t0 date ivere the new donations received bv the special names committee as fol- lows:

Mr. Sam Clark of Napinee iron Works, $100; Bufllain Bell Co, $100; J. P. Simmonds, $100; Wool- wortlfs Ltd. $100; Milton's Old Spain, $100; MacDonald and Rowe, $100.

Of the six divisions competing, the top place last evening was held by the 1st Division tinder O. K. Presby with a percentage of 67.8. Individual high team score was held by J. A. Lawson,

captain of team No. l of 1st Division with a percentage of 115.

The banquet got under way with the largest attendance in

years, and much speculation was in evidence as to whether the campaign would reach its object- ive this year.

After a sing-song with O. K. Presby at the piano. and led by Lorne McLeIlan, chairman Cud- more expressed the appreciation of everyone present to Mrs. How- att and the Ladies’ Auxiliary, and to the other groups which have all co-operated during the past three days to make the campaign such a success.

Mr. A. Dewar, President of the

Y's Men's Club. introduced an old memrber Col. Fred Andrews who was being reinstated, Rev. J. D. Davidson offered a short prayer on behalf of Mr. Harry Cudmore who. due to illnes. was absent.

Mr. Cudmore then announced

that because of the large amount of cards still not turned in. that Ihe final counting would be made on Monday; February 20th. st '7 pm, A few words were also heard from Dr. J. A. Clarke, Rev. H. E. D. Ashford and Mr. F. Gamble.

Words of appreciation were ex- pressed by president Ctudmore ‘.0 the press and to the radio station for their co-operation, and also to the clergy for the announcements made from their various pulpils with regard in the Maintenance Drive.

Deep, heartfelt thanks was tend- ered by the Board of Directors in the individuals and organizations who have contributed so gene‘:- ously this year.

Island Odds And Ends

When C£1llEld8.'S own Barbara Anti Scott, Olympic champion figure skater, performs at the Charlotte- town Forum in early March, the onlookers will have vivid memor- ies of her great triumphs. They wlil he doing tribute as Canadians to her world victories, her skill, charm and great competitive spir- it.

There will be one spectator how- ever. a young Czech youth of twenty, for whom memory will trace a different pattern. He will be unable to forget that in hap- pier diiys his uncle, Josef‘ Silva, was European figure skating chain- pion for seven successive years and World's champion on two oc- casions.

The young Czech is a student at St. Dunstan’.- Unhersily. He will probably recall ton that his U\\'ll father. Alois Sliia, was a prize winnci" at. many international meets, when the entry lists car- ried the names of all the great skaters of Europe and America.

s s o

looking backwards to very youth- ful days, "L01" Silva can just re- member having his picture taken iviih the famous Sonia Henjc. Sonia was being specially cuaclicil by the Silva Brothers for I161‘ first Olympic‘ title, ivhich eventually leil to ivurld prominence and SLJY- (loin on stage and screen. "L31", only 0X0 or three years old at that time, blundered into the picture with the glamorous Sonia as she posed during triiiiiing. He iodtlled towards her child-like just in time to iie “snappctP, but looking the wrong way. This picture is pre- served as a memento.

“Lot” Sliva is at St. Dunstanls University thanks to the generos- ity of that institution, which was one of a number of Canadian co‘.- Ieges which last September ad- opted promising scholars left des- titute in Europe. It was only in May, 1943, that he made a haz- ardous escape from a Communist concentration camp in Czecho- Slovakiit. He made his way to Germany in thi- Allied zone, with the help of the underground, uii- aivare that the rest of his family had escaped earlier. .
