OTTAWA, June 2 — (CP)_ siffl02e are the ways of fate and politics. Come election day-June 27——none of Canada's political leaders can vote for himself.

No leader is a candidate in the Tidings where he is registered as a voter.

Only two of the leaders will be able to vote at all, and the Do- minion Elections Act will prevent them from voting where they are running. In no case will any mem- berof the immediate family of a political leader be able to vote for "Pop."

This turn of events was dis- closed today in a check of leaders‘ ridings and their whereabouts on election day.

Prime Minister St. Laurent. who runs in Quebec East but lives in

Quebec South. will be in the best position as far as votes from his immediate family is concerned. He has three daughters and two sons, all of voting age.

Last June 0, he stated publicly he would support the Liberal can- didate in Quebec South, Hon. C.G. (Chubby) Power. former Air Min- ister. Voting with him at the same poll will be Mrs. St. Laur- ent, two sons, Jean-Paul and Reneault, and Mrs. Mathieu Sam- son.

The Prime Minister's other two daughters, Mrs. Frank Lafferty arid Mrs. Hugh O'Donnell, both live in Montreal St. Antoine- Westmount constituency where the Liberal candidate is Finance Minister Abbott.

George Drew, Progressive Con- servative leader, is in a more confusing position. His two chil- dren. Edward and Sandra. are not of voting age. While his home is in Toronto. Mr. Drew has estab- lished residence in Ottawa.

He lives at the Roxborough Ap- artments. This places him in the constituency of Ottawa West, ad- joining Carleton riding where he is running. He and Mrs. Drew have been enumerated in Ottawa West and will vote at a pcllim; booth on downtown Albert Street.

Progressive Conservative candi- date in Ottawa West is O. F. (Ossie) Howe, who is running against Liberal candidate George Mcliraith and W. B. Mann. C.C.F.

Neither M. J. Coldwell. C. C. F. leader, nor Solon Low, Social Credit leader. can cast a vote.

Mr. Caldwell no longer has a residence in his home riding of Rosetown-Biggnr, and. he will lose his vote in Ottawa East because he wants to be in his own con- stituency on election day.

Mr. Low, listed on the enumer- ator's docket in Russell riding, is in the same boat, He will spend next Monday in Grnnde Prairie. urging electors to return him as member for Peace River. But he can't vote there.

Back home, Mrs. Coldwell nad her daughter. Margaret, are liv- ing nearby at a cottage near Avi- mer, Que. Both will vote in Ot- tawa East. where their home is established. The CCF. candidate is Henri Robert.

Mrs. Low lives iri suburban Ov- erbrook where the Social Credit candidate. in Russell constituency. is A. Papineau. She has a family of seven children, but none has a vote.

Doubles Order For Island Pigs

Clay, senior live stock fieldman, with the Department here.

Apparently lvfr. Fleury. who has been an admirer of the Island swine for some years, could not re- sist the direct appeal on this, his first visit to the Province.

Mr. Pleury demonstrated his en- thusiasm btfore s. Guardian rep- resentative. when he returned time and againto-grcups of gilts to in- spect, appraise, admire and finally buy. In some cases he asked if the litters had been spflcially prepared

for his inspection.

British State-Owned Coal Mines Show Profit

By Alan Harvey

LONDON. June 22 -(CP)-Brit- ain's key coal industry today rs ported a profit on 1948 operations but wamed that "big issues" in- volving wages lie ahead.

The surplus for the coal-mining industry during its second year under public ownership was placed at £1,651,985 ($6,607,860). This com- pared with s. loss of 423,256,586 during 1947—-thc year the mines were nationalized. That loss in- cluded acapitai expenditure of about 219,000,000.

Thus the National Coal Board. which lid-ministers Britain's 1.500 collleries. carries a. deficit of more than $21,600,000 in 1.949.

The collierleg made an operat- ing profit in 1948 of 216,200,000 compared with a lcss of £9,200,000 the previous year.

The figures were made public in a report to Parliament by the Coal Board. Production rose 10,400,000 tons to 200,500,000 tons, manpower increased by 8.000 and absenteeism fell one per cent. to 11 1-2 per cent.

Coal Prices Up

Bub the Board slid increased proceeds to collieries were largely due to price increases to the con- sumer and warned "costs must come down if the industry and those who live by it are not to fail on bad times.”

Colliery proceeds averaged six shillings 11.5 pence a ton higher

S’side Man’s

at. 47s 25d. Of this. morethan 5s a. ton was caused by price in- creases decided upon in 1947.

The average cost of producing a ton of coal rose 4s 30d. to 45s 80d.

"The increase in costs was maln- ly due to wage improvements and the full effect was not felt until 1948," the Board said.

At another point, 1t said future plans will hinge to a great extent on wages policy. "Big issues" were involved in discussions which would be held between the Coal Board and the National Union of Mine- workers.

Must Do Better

lord Hyndiey, chairman of the Coal Board. said in commenting on the report that industry must do better this year.

“This is not the time to be carry- ingi deficits.” he sald.. "Indeed in the next year or so we must aim to do better than merely keep out of the red."

The minimum pay in the mines now is £5 ($20) for a surface work- er and £5 15s. i023) for those 11n- derground. A miner's average weekly pay during the third quart- er of 1948 was 2710s. 7d.

The pit-men are expected to clamor fo-r better pay and working conditions when the N.U.M. holds its annual conference in South Wales early next. month. They will claim among other things that the management of the mines is too

remote and impersonal.

Parachute

Jump Features Air Show

Grant Mollison of Summerside, err-paratrooper of World War No. 2, highlighted the air show at Wocdsides airport, Margate, yes- terday afternoon with a thrilling parachute jump from about a thousand-foot height.

The young paratrooper is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mol- liscn. Summerside, and received his training during the war with the paratroopers. Yesterday's jump was his first no-contact leap into space. Previous jumps had been perormed with the aid of an at- tached cable which opened the chute at the required distance from the plane.

About thirty planes were sched- uled take part in yesterday's air show but due to poor flying

An all-time high in butter pro- duction as well as quality has been reached in Prince Edward island this year, involving considerable marketing problems, reports Mr. Henry J. MacDonald, dairy sniper- intendent with the Provincial De- partment of Agriculture.

Butter production for the week ending June 11 totalled 148,000 pounds. For the first live months of 1940 the increase has been 35 percent over the corres- ponding period last year. This en- ormous increase for the first five months of the year has been well maintained during the past two weeks.

"Unlike last year at this time, however. when the demand was brisk; this year's export sales to oitr former markets in the Maritimes and our new market in Newfound- land, are very slow)‘, Mr. Mac- Donald states. He attributes the decrease to competition of butter substitutes in those areas.

An exception is the surplus pro- duction of one Island creamery which is selling saltiess butter to a, Newfoundland buyer for the manufacture of ice cream.

Local consumption continues l0 take care of some 50,000 lbs. week- ly. This is about 30% of the total weekly production and less "than the increase from last year. About 80,000 lbs. are going int/o storage weekly.

I Sales To D.I'.B.

Creamery managers are selling this surplus to the Dairy Products Board at the support price of 59 cents at Charlottetown for No. 1 solids.

A large carload cf nearly 40;000 lbs, 0r half of one week's surplus at the present time. has already been sold to the Board. Another two carloads with the same quan- tity will he sold within a clay or so.

This butter is being stored on the Island. where suitable storage fac- ilities for over half a million pounds has been recently approved by s representative of the Board.

Mr. MacDonald points out, that this increase in butter production has been achieved in spite of a re- jection of No. 2 cream by the creameries of an estimated 7% of the total production.

Cream is being graded much more strictly since the new regul- ations came into force last May. Mr. MacDonald states that there is a marked improvement in the quality of the butter under the new conditions.

Egg Prices Now liighesi In Years

Egg prices have advanced again and operators of registered egg grading stations are now quoting producers for ungraded eggs Al. 49—50, AM 47-48, B 36, C 25, re- ports Mr. F. M. Nash, supervising poultry products inspector. Prices are the highest in years. In 194T, using as a base Grade A Large, producers were receiving 33c per dozen and in 1948 the price was 38c and 49-50 per dozen in 1949.

Egg production held steady dur- ing the past week however re- ceipts nre lower by 11% thnn for the some period inst year. The mar- ket nt tho present time is strong with supplies scarce but it must be remembered that present prices can break quickly and sharply if Maritime prices heccme favourable to the importation of eggs from Ontario and Western Canada.

Dealers are quoting grading station operators for the graded pack foh station AL 55, AM 53, B 39, C 29 and quoting retailers for the graded cartoned pack AL 01. AM 59, B loose 43.
