Mr. Parks is in charge of potato investigations for the Experimental Farm System. while Mr. Young is responsible for all potato breeding work.

Many of the blight and scab re- sistant varieties originated by Mr. Young at Fredericton are now being tested at Charlottetown. A number of these selections show high resistance to scab and blight. as well as excellent market and yield quality.

While at the station the visit- ors attended a joint meeting of the Science service and the Ex- perimental Station staffs where all aspects of potato work were thor- oughly discussed.

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Sept. 20 — (OP) — Britain's solemn _ announcement that she would abandon her Palestine mandate shortly and withdraw forces and administration from the Holy Land, stood out today as a gleam of sanity In what was otherwhe an orgy of Soviet bit- terness and beliigerency unpre- cedented in the councils of the United Nations.

Colonial Secretary Arthur Creech Jones provided the high point in the day's proceedings when he told the Palestine Committee his country would not undertake administration by force of a settlement repug- nant to Jews and Arabs - that it would have to he handled hy "some alternative authority."

The low point was a press eun- ferenoe called by Russia's An- lirfil Viflllifllliy. who indulged in a repetition of his “war-monger- ing" speech of last week with embellishments and additions.

'Gcv’t Considers Aid

UITAWA, Sept. 26 — (OP) — The Federal Government is giv- ing renewed consideration to means of assisting Canada's gold mining industry. which has been seeking relief since the revalua- tion of the dollar last year reduced the value of its product and made a severe dent in operating profits.

The problem has been placed in the hands of Resources Minister Glen. and he is understood to have asked the industry for suggested remedies. The Mines Branch of the Government comes under his Department.

However. as Mr. Glen has ex- pressed the view that a devalua- tion of the dollar to its former status is out for the present at least, thus the main proposal of the mining companies is turned down.

In the past big gold mining companies have opposed subsidies on the ground it would give the impression the industry could not stand on its own feet. They claim the real trouble is that they are» fair price for
