For Prince Edward Island, the Board proposed the equalization of freight rates as between its two rate areal, known as the "outer" and "inner" zones. Rates from the outer zone, the brief said, were higher than on hauls from some other Maritime points with the same mileage.

"The compact characteristics of Prince Edward Island lend them- lelvea to the existence of one zone on long-haul traffic." the Board declared. “There is not e substantial difference in the quan- tity of traffic originating in the two zones."

Hard luck seems to be dogging the footsteps of the Aces, however. Frank Arsenault. their third base- man and right fielder, had the misfortune to be struck by l. Pulley in his mill and at last re- Dfirt was in a serious condition. He will be definitely lost to the team for the rest of the season, Frank was one of the best play. ers on the Tignlsh team and his mates are unanimous in attesting to his co-operation and popularity as a member of the team. Every. one will be wishing for Frank a speedy recovery.

There is talk of forming a jun- ior teaim in Summerside (rt-m the Town and airport and though there may be some difficulties that will prove to be insurmountable, we think if the boys- of junior age could be assembled they would give the Charlottetown winners, and even Dieppe a. stiff argument for honors. Just look at this sug- gested line-up and tell us one rea- son why it couldn't. hold its own against the best. Hume and P. Schurmaii, catchers or outfielders; A. Stewart and J.

We'd like to see that line-up play Dleppe. Perhaps it could be arranged even if the boys couldn't all be got together for term reg- istration. There certainly would be difficulties in registering this team. Gordie MacKay. Bennie Grady and Alan Stewart have all made the grade with Curran 8r Briggs. Murphy/Hume and Bar- on are with the R C.A.F. All- Stars but less difficulty might be experienced in signing them up. as the airport has a wealth of mater- ial and these boys seem enthus- iastic about the idea. In any event, why not have them play Dleppe here. It would take a fairly stiff Euirantee but we believe the

If it were not possible to obtain Grady or MacKay a junior team could still he fielded which. though weakened materially, would still be a. team. Bobbie Baron could fill in at second base. Chuck Hume might take over short. and Paul Schurman do the catching chores unaided. The ides. is certainly worth considering.

s. “While adjustments in that con- nection ‘ have been made from time to time," the submission added, "they have been met with such manifested opposition from the railways that it has given rise to the concensus of opinion that the ferry should be operated by a department of the Dominion Government rather than by the railways for Government account. "The transition which has taken place in transportation lends sup- port to this view. A change-over to operation by a Government de- partment could be facilitated by granting the railroad running rights on the ferry.

"Another proposal that might be worthy of consideration is that, instead of a department of the Government operating the ferry and facilities, there be created a Prince Edward Island ferry com- mission bestowed not only with

Mr. Matheson. who began read- ing his long brief on Tuesday. was still under questioning by oom- mission counsel Frank M. Covert, K.C., of Halifax when the Board wound up its Nova Scotia sessions late today. The examination was to be continued by Mr. Covert and other counsel at Ferdericton.

Today also. the commission heard from three witnesses on be- half of the fish and apple indus- tries of Nova Scotia and the Mar- itime lumber trade.

They were questioned particu-

the Maritime Board's there were rate disadvantages in the Marltlmes for the fishing. mining, agriculture, forestry and manufacturing industries.

OJ. Morrow of Lunenburg, N.S.. vice-president and secretary-trea- surer of National Sea. Products. Ltd, biggest fish processing and distributing company in the Do- minion, declared the fishing in- dustry was getting increasing competition.

However, he agreed with Mr. Sinclair that Maritime producers could get their fish into Montreal at lower freight rates than their competitors in British Columbia.

But he would not agree with the lawyers that proposed restrictions on the entry of Canadian fish into the United States was due to cheaper costs in Canada.

It was partly correct, Mr. Morrow said, but the embargo was aimed primarily at the producton of Ice- land and other countries.

While Canadian fish production costs were "somewhat lower" than those of the U.S., Mr. Morrow said. it was not always possible to lay down Canadian fish in the U.S. more cheaply than the American product. because of the transport- ation costs involved.
