Winter Relaxes Grip On Canal System Slightly

MONTREAL (CPl - Winter's tightening grip relaxed slightly Thursday along this port's up- stream canal system-good news for ships driving to escape frees- ing waters.

Miider temperatures helped a slow-paced parade of ships through the Lachlne canal. threatened by gassing temperatures since Nov.

He named the ocean vessels as the Cleopatra. Prins Willem. Grif- fon. Ascot. Ansell. lla and Asknpot.'

An average of 12 to if) ships in day have been entering the harbor from the canal and if the pace is continued all vessels will be cleared by Saturday midnight with time to spare.

'rRat-Poison Sandwich Is Fatal To Mother Of Four

TORONTO (CF) - A 35-year-old mother of four children died Wed- nesday night from eating a rat- poison sandwich.

Doctors said Mrs. Ruth Washing- ton of suburban North York town- Ihip realized too late she'd eaten the sandwich. They said there was nothing they could do for her since there is no antidote for the poison after four or five hours.

Mrs. Washington told doctors at Mount Sinai hospital that on Mon- dell she prepared two sand- wiches-one of peanut butter for herself and one of the phosphorous Poison for feeding to rats outside her home Rats have infested the Iellzliborhood for some time.

MARKHAM. Onl (CF) - Markham's oldest physician. Dr. Arthur L. Hnre. has

switched to a bicycle since his licence to drive a car was cancelled two months ago.

Dr. liore, 81. said he may be too old to drive a car but he can ride a bicycle as well as any high school boy.

He pedals about four miles a day to make his rounds in this village on the northeastern outskirts of Toronto. He started his practice here in 1910.

The statements of the two Rus- sian leaders displayed an ignor- ance not only of tthe sensibilities of. their audiences but also of what. is going on in the Western world.- Thcir statements were "almost in- sulting to the intelligence" of their audiences-

Mr. Gardiner Urges Caution

OTTAWA, (CF)-Agriculture Minister Gardiner praised Thursday the efforts of the United States to rid itself of food surpluses and cautioned against calling for higher tariffs on imports of American potatoes

U. S. Agriculture Secretary Benson is doing a ”fair- ly good job" in getting rid of his surpluses and he will do a better job as he goes along. Mr. Gardiner told the closing session of the four-day federal-provincial agri- cultural conference.

He noted that the Maritimes have demanded tariff protection against U. 5. potatoes entering Canada and observed that 90 per cent of the seed potatoes used in North Carolina are produced in Prince Edward island. The slate of Maine grew more potatoes than all Canadian growers.

”You've got to use a little judg- ment in handling these things." he said. adding that by calling for tariff protection, Maritime growers. may be killing off a good marketl to retain a poor one.

COVERS MUCH GROUND

In his closing remarks. Mr. Gardiner ranged over the whole ifield of agriculture.

He predicted the government will give "more favorable" considera- tion this year to maintenance of existing support prices on butter, eggs and subsidies on western feed grains than in any previous year.

He said also that the government likely would be willing to extend assistance to apple growers if all the major apple provinces got to- gether to co-operate in produc- tion handling and marketing ar- rangcments.

OTTAWA (CF)-Eugene Cullen. Prince Edward Island agriculture minister. suggested Thursday that the federal government establish "some kind" of support price for potatoes.

In fact. he told the federal-pro- vincial agricultural conference's closing session. he was going to see Agriculture Minister Gardiner "to see if we can make a deal on potatoes."

An official in Mr. Gardincr's office said later that Mr. Cullen had met with Mr. Gardiner but that there probably would be '"no story" coming out of the meeting. He said other P. E. I. officials will be Jiscussing the problem of

Touching on tthe grain problem. he suggested one of the best ways of ridding the prairies of its sur- pluses is to have more western grain shipped to the central prov- inces as livestock feed. He said a lot of Ontario feed bins are not full. Ontario could buy a lot more feed from the west.

The method of shipping more feed grain east would be cheaper, he said. than having the Canadian wheat board continue paying stor- age charges for grain carried in elevators. The charges were high. amounting to about 13 cents a bushel a year. It was the most expensive way of carrying grain. he maintained.

He said P. E. I. producers can ship their products to Montreal more cheaply than to Newfound- land and Labrador and suggested some sort of freight assistance an shipments to those points.

Until some better method can be worked out. he said. the federal agriculture price supports for but- ter. eggs and shipments of f grains should be continued at their present levels.
