IALKAN LAND

The historic republic of Albania on the Adriatic sea is exclusively

, an sgrioultunrind livestock stats.

Nearly three million pounds of merchandise has been stored In the Government cold storage plant on Eaher Street since the fiscal year began on April 1. it was stated last night by Hon. Eugene Cullen. Min- ister of Industry and Natural Re- sources. Mr. Cullen also noted that the plant was operating at s progt this year.

The upsurge in poultry produc- tion in 1051 is thoroughly reflected in the amount which has been held in storage at the Government plant. In the seven months since the start of the fiscal year there has been a total of 778,000 pounds of poultry kept at the plant. This figure, as with other commodities. does not indicate the amount on hand at present. only the total which has gone into the plant dur- in: the period under review.

Next largest amount to be kept in cold storage is the 751,995 pounds of cheese. This is approximately 9.100 boxes. Also high on the list is fish with the Government plant

handling 483,000 pounds. Most of this was herring (for bait) with 271.000 pounds. .

The extent of the storage of flan might come as a surprise to many Islanders when it is revealed that during the seven month period just. ended there was a total of l00.000 pounds of quahuugs placed in the plant. In addition there were 39,000 pounds of smelts.

Butter. also, has shown how Ehc Province has been producing as witnessed by the -215.00!) pounds which has found its way to cold storage.

Oother items which have taken up a vast amount of space in the Government plant were blueber- ries. 110,000 pounds; strawberries. 50.000 pounds; and eggs. 31,000 pounds. -

The total weight of the various foods-listed above is 2,950,022 pounds and indicates that food handlers of the Province are taking full ad- vantage of the facilities afforded them by the Government.

Golds Prevalent But 'Not Epidemic

While health officials report that there are no signs of an, epidemic. is. considerable number of citizens have been sufferinl from a lingering. persistent cold which seems to defie practically all remedial efforts.

Several doctors in the city re- port that a greater number than is normally the case have been seeking alleviation. and blame the recently extremely changeable weather. In some instances where people suffering from the cold have been further exposed. virus pneumonia has resulted.

School attendance has been affected to a minor degree in the past few weeks in the City due to colds. mumps. and more re- cently. measles.

Air Battles Continue Over North Korea

6l0OUL.. Korea. Dec. 4 -('rues- day)- (AP)- Air fighting ranged for the eighth straight day over Northwest Korea Monday with two Communist jet fighters claim- ed damaged. On the ground both sides officially conceded there was a continued lull.

The Eighth Army communique. covering up to noon Monday. said "No signigicant action reported f- om the eastern and western fronts. only light enemy contacts developed. ,. .along the central front." ,

I-Ioweverf the North Koreans took the wraps off a Chinese sm- phlbious operation last. week-end near the mouth of the Yalu River in extreme Northwest Korea and claimed the recapture of three strategic islands.

All of them were deep behind Communist line near the border of Red Manchurla.

Allied possession of the islands never had been announced.

In Washington. the navy de- partment confirmed that. Taewhs Island was lost last Friday. It said that 300 to 400 south Korean guerrillas were evacuated by sea from the one-time Allied raiding base under Red gunfire. Tawwha is some as miles southeast ' of the mouth of the Yslu River.

Would Tackle Iluoddy As Private froiect

QUINCY. Mass. Dec. 3-iAP)- Sidney Grossrnari. building-mv terisls firm executive. said today he is prepared to raise 310000.000 to develop the Passamaquoddy project as a private venture.

Grossrnsn said he is waiting for approval from the U. S. Govern- ment to get. under way. His firm bought Quoddy village from the Government several years ago.

He declined to name his associ- ates but said some are Canadians.

Gvrodoman owns 16 lumber and building-material yards in New England.

He says he likes to "bring back industry to deserted towns." that he restored do per cent of Limer- ick. Me.. industry in three years.

The "Quoddy" tidal-power pro- ject would generate electrical power by harnessing the extreme tides of the international waters of Psssamaquoddy Bay. between Maine and New Brunswick.

The start of the project. wholly on the part. of the United States. was made and abandoned during the first administration of the late President Roosevelt.

Commission engineers have esti- mated that the survey necessary for the project would cost 33,900.- 000.

Fine ConcertAt P.W.C. Auditorium

A large and enthusiastic audi- ence greeted the young French Canadian singer. Pierre Boutet. as he appeared on the stage of the Prince of Wales College aud- itorium last evening as the sec- ond artist in the P.W.C. Concert Series.

Mr. Boutet won the. major Can- adian National Exhibition singing award in 1948. was an award win- ner in the 1960 "Singing Stars of Tomorrow." and First Male Award Winner in the 1951 "Singing Stars of Tomorrow"

contest. His lyric tenor voice is rich and resonant. and last evening

he thrilled his audience. by the use of extremely beautiful softer notes in the higher register. In many of his numbers he demon- strated Ihe technique of singing full voice and softening to a whisper. to perfection.

Mr. Boutet's programme was a difficult one. and: unfortunately. unfamiliar for the most part to his audience. A few more popu- la-r pieces as encore numbers would doubtless have made a more general appeal. Lovers of classical music. however. enjoyed

a. rare treat. His selections in, this category. all beautl fully rendered. included songs from

the works of Caldnra. Scarlaiti. Handcl, Mozart. Schubert, Mon- delssohn and Giuck.

Accompanist for the prograiniiie was Mr. Allison Patterson. of Mount Allison University

Wars Against Conlinuancetof inflation Danger

MONTREAL, Der. 3 -- While forecasting is "brilliant long-range future" for Canada. B. C. Gard- ner. presldent of the Bank of Montreal. sees a continuance of difficult economic problems fuc- ing the nation and emphasizes .that "it would he. very dangerous to conclude that the battle against inflation has been won."

Speaking to B. of M. sharehold- ers at their 134th annual meet- ing here yesterday. Mr. Gardner found encouragement in Canada's current monetary policies which .were resulting in a "healthier and .more realistic interest-rate struc- ture. with fhe price of money once again beginning to exercise its traditional stabilizing function as a stimulus to saving and p brake on excessive expansion."

Warning that the possibility of further inflation was still "very real." the president traced both the short and long-term factors which threaten Canada's mone- tary stability.

Inflationary Factors

Mr. Gardner saw an immediate inflationary threat in the neces- sity of putting an increasing pro- portion of Canada's national oili- put into defence and industrial expansion with R consequent. de- crease of production for civilian consumption. A widening of the disparity between spending power and available consumer goods might result.

The long-term forces lending to undermine the value of the dol- lar were more deeply rootcd, he stated. Among them he included: the political unpopularlty of anil- inflationary policies; severe tax- rition which might encourage the wage-prire spiral: and shorter working-hours at a time of heavy demand on the collective efforts of the population.

Looking at the positive side. Mr. Gardner stressed the need of n "greiit re-emphasis" on the value of saving as A stabilizing force. If savings failed to keep abreast of output going into mp- lial production. Inflationary pres- sures hAIl to result. What was needed was to make saving ll'fIIli- while. to pay caplidl a "living wage."

iiiiiai Touch ii Rotary luncheon

Rotarians had a bit of naval lore and atmosphere at. their luncheon in the Charlottetown Hotel yesterday. The shrill notes of the bossuns pipe sounded by Chief Petty Officer Costello sum- moned them to dinner with the call "Hands to Moss." '

The address was given by Com- modore G. M. I-Iibbard. R.C.N. (re- tired) who forty years ago yes- terday had received word that he had been accepted as a naval recruit.
