onset the largest rograms of harbor Work in vinco for

years is now underway at :iIslg& Harbour and is expeoisd to be completed early next year The iaisssst molest in lrrosms at present is the c of the en- iraneo to Ruatico nay between Robinson's Island and Brackley Point.

The work is being undertaken by the Federal Department of Public Works and follows long discussions by fishermen of the area at fisheries conferences and elsewhere. It is felt by those in the district that with only one entrance to the harbor there will be a greater flow of water.

This heavier movement of water is expected to help cut down the send her at the entrance and also to provide a depth of water be- tween I and 9 feet which it is hoped will permit draggers to op- erate from that area. At present the draggers are practically con- rentrated in the souris and Al- herton sections. In the latter many of them are operating on the Miniinegash shore in scallop fishing.

Tendon Being Called

Tenders are being called for the filling in of the opening of the Bay, but already ordinary labor is being used to prepare the section and further day labor is being employed to fill the low spots on Robinson's Island.

It is believed possible that even- inally the National Parks officials may construct a roadway from Bruckley Point, across Robinson's island and over a bridge across Rustico Harbor entrance.

In addition to these projects a new boat harbor has been com- pleted, excepting for necessary dredging. This is expected to pro- vide far greater protection than

The boat harbor is completely enclosed and to I68 feet wide and 110 feet long. It is inside the bar- bor area and work was started on it last year. It has just been com- pleted and Federal Department of Public Works officials believe that dredging will begin as soon as a new dredge they are expecting in service is ready for use.

Another highly important bit of work to be done there is the con- struction of a retaining wall at North Rustico. The contract for this has been awarded to the J.W. N. J. Anderson Company, New Brunswick. It is being designed to provide much better landing facilities for fishermen at North Rustico.

The wall will be approximately 700 feet long and will be dis feet above the water. It is reported that it will be the best in the Pro- vince and one of the finest in Canada. The preliminary work on it will be all done this year and the wall f-uliy completed next year

nen- -ll

A move by the Provincial Gov- ernment to bring Island truck weight and load limits into line with those of other Provinces, par- ticularly New Brunswick where Island truckmen have operated at a disadvantage because of the noticeable disparity. was announced this week by Premier A. W. Mathe- son following a meeting of the Cabinet.

In effect the proposed changes will permit a gross weight of 24.- 000 pounds for two axle trucks: 33,000 pounds maximum for three axle trucks; 44,000 pounds for semi-trailers and tandem, and for tandem trailer and tractor.

Following the Government an- nouncement Mr. Keith MacKinnon, ;vice-president for P. E. I. of the Maritime Motor Transport Associ-

iation, said his group was greatly

Iplessed with the change and paid

Itribute to officials of the Depart- ment of Public Works and High-

ways for their progressive action in recognizing the advancing needs of road transportation.

Mr. MacKinnon also stated that

ARMY WORM INFESTATION IN P. E. L GRAIN CROPS REPORTED

First reports of army worm in- festiiiion in the grain crops of the Province reached Mr. F. M. Can- non, officer in charge of the En- tomological Section, science ser- vice Laboratory yesterday.

The ailected areas are near Souris and Murray Harbor where it is reported that 20 acres have been ravaged. In commentin on the situation. Mr. Cannon tales that the moths fly at night to lay their eggs and the worms mature 'qulckly and feed voraciousiy.

Mr. Cannon advises farmers to .check their fields immediately since the presence of the worms cannot be noticed unless the grain is closely examined. Anyone find- ing his grain infested with these pests should notify the Entomo- logical Laboratory at once so that advice and assistance may be giv- en.

"The weather during the past few weeks," says Mr. Cannon, "has been very favorable for the propa- gation-of the army worms and mayn fields in Manitoba. Ontario and New Brunswick have been

Mr. O: W.

Duke Speaks Al luncheon

,VANCOU'VER, CC-P. ilk . of Edinburgh reminded dnade Friday that she must not forget other values in the rush to develop resources.

He included the message in a crisp speech at a luncheon tendered by the Men's Canadian Club of Vancouver. He spoke fiveminutes. from notes.

The duke said Canada must re- member that development is only material gain and not an end in itself.

"Unless we think of our children and the future the work will have been in vain and vast resources will have been squandered.

"We should work for a happy. secure and peaceful life for the generations to come after us." MAINTAIN VALUES

A high standard of moral values must be-maintained. There must be a stable pattern of community life without injuring opportunities to pioneer.

The duke started off with a couple of qulps about the British Empire Games. He has been a regular visitor to the athletic ev- ents. '

The games he described as a "family party" and that meant he must be strictly neutral. "I'm e ualiy delighted whoever wina."

hilip said the world had been given ample proof that Canada has her responsibilities as a mature r.ation..He mentioned her member- ship on the Indo-China truce team.

If this task is well done. he said. it will add immensely to -the world's admiration and respect of Canada.

Mrs. Girouard, sitting in one of the rooms of the white funeral home and holding a baby on her knee. said that since the polio attack, Emilie had been afflicted with fainting spells. She said she was not acquainted with the med- ical term for her sister's illness which brought on the three stroke: but believed it was epilepsy.

Emilie's body lay on is table In the funeral home covered by a white sheet. It was brought there about 5 D-m-. (We hours after her death Friday morning at the hostel at Lac Brule. two miles from Ste. Agathe.

ing the evening to complete for-

'ma1itiea including his report which

will give the official cause of death.

"There has been a delay in. the body. We”'cannot say anything else until we re- ceive official information from coroner Tallinn."

REFUSED FOOD

Emilie's death stunned author- ities at the hostel and they do- clined to issue any details about the death. it was learned that early Friday while lying ill, Emilie when offered food said:

"I don't want to eat."

Emille's stay at the hostel was interrupted three weeks ago when her sister Marie left the.Quebec cloister of the Servants. of the Blessed Sacrament.

Religious circles in Quebec said at the time that Marie had given up cloietor life at least temporarily after eight months because she was "confused and homesick."

Emilie travelled the 45-mile dis- tance southeast from Ste. Agathe to Montreal to meet Marie but be- came lost in Montrealle busy

In a telephone conversation with The Canadian Press. Rev. W. H. Lafrance. parish priest at nearby Corheil. who was answering all phone calls at the Dionne res- idence, after consultation with Mr. Dionne quoted him as saying that Emilie suffered a "weak spell" when she was six years old.

"It was never diagnosed."

Emiliels sister. Rose. earlier Friday night said in Ste. Agatha. Que.. that Emilie was a victim of polio at the age of three and that she had been afflicted with fainting spells.

PARIS. (Reuters) -France de- rided Friday to face up to a de- cision on the European Defence Community treaty after stalling for more than two years.

The National Assembly voted 514 to 100 in favor of beginning the EDC debate Aug. 14. Premier Pierre Mendes-France proposed the "date with destiny" in presenting the next two weeks of parliament- ary business.

No French government has dared submit the six-oountry army treaty for ratification since hence. West Germany. Italy. Belgium. The Netherlands and the duchy of Luxembourg agreed on it in May 1052. Italy is the only other coun- try which has not ratified the treaty.
