Another amendment in the Act declares Atlantic Standard Time as the Uniform time. Previously we Act read Standard Time Only.

The Amendment followed a re- soluuon advocating Daylight Sav- in: lime dllring summer months which had been discussed in the llou.-.c by I large number of the Legislators last week. The only re marks expressed in favor of the resolution were from the two Char- lotteluun members: Hon. B. Earle lllacnonald and Mr. Alex A. Mac-

The letter stated that only four. people attended the meeting and did not voice the opinion of any way near the majority in that district. ELECTED BODY

Mr. Mac-Donald pointed out that me City Council is an elected body representing the City of Char- lottetown and by instituting Day- light Time last summer were carry log out the wishes of the citizens. He said he had asked the House to allow Daylight Time for June July and August and felt that if the time were were made uniform throughout the Province it would not work an inconvenience to any one. He said he had I lot of far- mer friends who did not oppose Daylight Time.

The amendment in its original lnrm read. "if any governing au- thority of any city. town or vil-

As 5 result of his remarks. In amend- ment to the amendment was brought in changing the wording to, "if any governing authority of any city, town or village declares any time effective within its limits other than the time enforced und- er this act."

SEVERAL MOTIONS

Several motions and amendments were moved by various members and the original motion was al- most pushed into the background before the question was put. Mr. G. E. Saville (Liberal), Sec- ond Kings said the bill was al- most beyond the comprehcnslon of most of the member. of the House. Quoting Sir Walter Scott he said

"We are still ttops' with New- foundland." said Hon. Dougald Mac- Kinnon speaking in the Budget de hate in the Legislature yesterday. "They woullf sooner deal with us than anyone else."

The Minister of Industry and Natural Resources said the Island could sell six times as much pro- duce as it was doing in Newfound- land it shipping space were avail able.

To show how trade with New- foundland had increased over the years Mr. MacI(innon stated that from 1951 to 1955 the amount of produc e shipped had increased from 6.256.000 lbs.. to 9.135.000 lbs. Referring to the discussion on car- rots which had taken place in the House last week. he said New- foundland would buy all the un- washed carrots the Island could produce.

The Minister. in replying to I question from Mr. R. R. Bell said he thought there was something not just right about the purchasin by mainland firms of Island labs In. "It seems strangg to me that thcy can track wick and process them cheaper than they can in this Province. Rs said if you can't sell I fresh lob- ster. put it in I can."

Mr. Macltlnnon felt that there were possibilltics in quick-freezing live lobsters. He told of an experi- ment that hc had carried out in this direction and found the meat. to be satisfactory. He felt that a little experimentation along these lines might result in another met hod of marketing lobsters.

GOVERNMENT LOANS

In speaking of the industrial de- velopment program being carried out by the Government Mr. Mac- Klnnon said the committee in charge of recommending loans was there not only to make loans but to advise people on the feasibility of starting various projects. "There is no use in a man investing I lot of his own money and using the Government's if that project is not going to pay". be said.

Recently I shipment of eels was sent them by the Department with the idea of keeping them interest ed in the project.

Dr. Dewar: "What is being done about processing Irish moss on the Island?" -

Mr. Maclfinnonz "I think we can develop something along this line."

He said that the processing of Irish moss was Jependent upon I number of things. Quite often the deposit of moss is mixed with cer- tain weeds which made it difficult to process. The Department have
