Found Highways Poor In iianada

The poor condition of highways all across Canada, as compared it'll" those in the United States girls commented upon to a Guar- Mgll representative yesterday by N - H- J- WYBi-t. of St. John's,

ewfoundland, formerly of this Province and a cousin of the late Judge Wyatt of Summerside.

Mr. Wyatt has travelled 13.558 mUB-S in his own car since leaving st" J°hn'5 ‘m MB)’ 1 108i. when lie drove to California to attend the Emily International convention at San Francisco last June. On rs. turn he drove to British Columbia 8nd Alberta, with the intention of Cflmplcting his trip home by way of Canada. He found however, that the roads in Canada made travelling very uncomfortable, and be was even advised at the travel bureau at Calgary to return hv way of United States. This he did, CFOSSIHI! into Montana and travei- ling through North Dakota, Min- nesota, Wisconsin and Idaho, fol- lowing the highway roughly >131‘- allel with the Canadian border until crossing into Ontario.

“There is no doubt." Mr. Wyatt said, "that the Canadian Provin- ces are losing millions oi dollars every ycar as a result of poor high- way maintenance."

He found cabin facilities are improving in Canada. though stll‘. not up to the average AmerL-an standard.

Mr. Wyatt. who is a prominent business man in St. John's, said he was out of touch with the iat- est developments in Newfoundland but expressed his personal view in favor of the need of Continuing Commission government, at least so far as the financial manage- ment of the country is concerned.

Mr. Wyatt. attended Olri Home Week here last year_ and is plan- ning to remain for the openli-g of the Exhibition programme next week.

DETAILS. 0F BENNETT

(Continue: from Pale 1)

If either nephew dies, their children will divide the father's share of the estate equally with the capital held in trust tiil each reaches the age of 30. I! there is no lawful issue the 'nepiiews nephews will become the heirs.

The greatest part oi the Ben- nett estate was invested in ‘the United Kingdom, a spokesman for Barclays Bank, executors for isord Bennett, said‘ while the spokes- man declined details, he revealed lhe late peer held some Canadian shares.

Investments referred to in the will were 10000 shares of capital stock of the Royal Bfllk of Can- ada and 2,000 shares of the Can- adian Cement. Company whzch the Viscount instructed bc sharcd equally by Cnates and l-Icrridge when the estate is allocated to them. -

Lord Bennett. who died at. the age of 76, left many cash legacies to close friends, charities and in- stitutiorrs.

His secretary, Alice Miller, was willed a cash legacy of £1,000 and will occupy Lord Bennett's estate fllhltllllpEl‘ Hill, Surrey. for three months after his death. H. A. Turner of Vancouver, B, (1., and his daughter Phyllis and son Don- ald were left legacies of £1,000 each. ,

Pecuniary legacies include a gfft of £2,500 to the Royal Empire Society, to be doubled if the So- ciety obtains an additional £5,000 within a year.

The New Brunswick Provincial Museum at Saint John is to re- ceive 27 articles. The museum also gets various other pieces presented Lord Bennett. by Canadian groups including the defaced great seal used at confederation. a centuries- cld chaidean vase given Viscount Bennett by Sir Leonard Waoley. and a dispatch holder and a bronze bell iilade from the metal of the great bell of Sevastopol. It was formerly owned by Queen Vlc_- toria. '

TOW foods that were required for a minimum standard of living. Brit- ain had already taken some steps to reduce certain food purchases IZQIB but he could not visualize

what additional steps might be_

taken.

For instance. some l0 days BIO Britain put a ban on poultry pur- chases in Canada. Apple purchas- es, which totalled $2,727,590 in the first five months of this year, would not be repeated next year.

British ships touching Canadian ports were bringing suflicient sup- plies with them from the United Kingdom to make the purchase of new stores rn Canada unneces- sary.

The United Kingdom. had also decided against increasing the to token import shipments of luxury and non- essential goods.

All these steps were affecting purchases in Canada, but to a smell degree when the over-ell trade picture was taken into con- sideration.

The lumber industry might be most heavily affected by the Brit- ish austerity program.

Bar Fatality Inquest Tonight

An enquiry into the death of Shirley Bggar, 10, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stanford Biller, Charlottetown. will be' held at 7.30 this evening at the Cutcllife Iliu- nerai Home. The late Miss Big-

gar was one of four in s. csrwhiclr

overturned about 7.30 Tuesday ev- ening near the juncture of the raisin highway and s road leading to the Beach Grove Inn.

All four were immediately rush- ed to the Prince Edward Island Hospital where it was found that Miss Biggar was suffering from severe head Injuries which includ- cd multiple lacerations. She re- mained in an unconscious condit- ion and died at 5,30 yesterday morning.

The two young men, George Green, l8, of Kingston, who was the driver of the car, and James Buchanan, 20, 58 Bayfield BtreQO, Charlottetown, were released from the hospital yesterday but. Miss Jieona Dcucett-e, 1a, Charlottetown, is still under hospital treatment. At. 11 o'clock yesterday morning a coroners iury under the direc- tion of Dr. I. J. Yeo viewed the body of the late Miss Bigger at the Cutcllffe Funeral Home. The ‘(u-y comprises Messrs. Merritt Por- sythd, Hnwley Crockett, William ,Flynn. Harry Hardy. William Hughes.

was required" by last. July 15 to make her overseas sterling debt-s freely convertible into any cur- rency.

A high British source said that

top Civil Service experts from the y Treasury. Board of Trade and Por- cign Office will take part in loan ,term revision talks soon—prob- ably next week in either Wash- lllgton or London. I Attiee informed the House that itrie santio. .000 loan will be ex- ;hausted ths year, although orig- ;inally it had been hoped it would last until i049 or 1950. He said there remained £250,000.000 (81,000.- i000,000) of the American loan and |£I25,000.900 ($500,000.000) 0f the .Canadian $250,000,000 loan.

It is understood that details of ‘ithe restrictions the Prime Minister ,listed will be announced during

the next few days. However, Att- lee did specify that "our bulk ‘long-term contracts for staple lfoodstuffs from these (hard cur- rency) areas (which embrace Can- ada and the United States) will not. of course, be interfered with."

He said that for the present we must largely confine ourselves to such purchases as far as herd cur- rency sources are concerned."

Canada is in the dollar area and is a big supplier of both food and timber. Pood imports from the dollar area will be cut 512,000,000 imonthiy, Attica declared. It wis learned reliably outside the I-Iouee of Commons that long-term con-

i-racts would not be effected.

This .would leavelntact the long- term wheat agreement negotiated last year under which Canada has undertaken to provide Britain with 630,000,000 bushels of wheat dur- ing a four-year period.

absence of any indication what is to happen to the Government's nationalization program . . . "

News Chronicle (Liberal): "Att- lee has prescribed the stiflest dose we have yet had to swallow. It is

"austerity with a vengeance."

l Daily Herald (Labor); "The Prime Minister appealed with confidence to the workers of Brit- ain to uo-operate to the utmost in the program which he an-

riounced. His confidence is not misplaced." Daily Express: "Attlee's' mom-

entous speech marks the failure of s policy. 1t was a policy based on ithe twin riopes that by the use of borrowed dollars abroad and by the indiscriminate pursuit of conflicting projects and pur- poses at home Britain, dragging the world behind her would some- how scrambn- through to recov- cry.

“We must increase our output so as to stand on our own ‘legs as soon as possible and we ,will press on with plans to expand

, “Our (export) target will be 140 Der cent of 103B by the end of the first half (of 1948) and 160 per ,cent by the end of the year. I do not disguise from the House that these are going to he very diffi- cult targets to reach."
