Pope To Be Buried Monday In Grotto Beneath St. Peter’s
VATICAN CITY (AIM—Vatican officials said early Friday Pope Pius XII will be buried Monday in the grottos beneath St. Peter’s.
Earlier announcements had said the burial was fixed tentatively for Monday.
An empty symbolic catafalque will remain in the Basilica for the remainder of the ofificial mourning period, which will be concluded with three special requiems next Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Tens of thousands, murmuring prayers, will have filed by his body lying in state in St. Peter's, before the funeral.
Then, the final rites will com- mence in the presence of nem~ bers‘of the Sacred College and other leading church dignitaries.
the peaceful face of the pontiff before the body, still in the pontif- ical vestments, is wrapped in a shroud of red silk and placed in the traditional triple coffin.

A commission of cardinals, yet to be named, will then sign the official certificate of burial and permit the closing of the coffin.
A requiem will precede the low- ering of the coffin into the grotto, where it will be placed in a marble sarcophagus.
Pope Pius X111 chose a place under the altar of confession s his tomb.
ders and informed members of the Vatican and Italian states walked behind the glass - walled hearse bearing the red - drapped coffin.
Darkness was falling as the col- fin was taken from the hearse and carried slowly into the cath- edral.

Island Fish
landings
Show Slight Decrease
The total of all fish landed on the Island from January to July 1958 wzls slightly less than that taken by Island fishermen during the same period of 1957. This was reported yesterday by Hon. Dougald MacKinnon, Minister of Fisheries.
The 1957 catch produced 17; 806,000 lbs compared to 17,763,009 lbs. for the pert, iod last». year. Correspondineg the value showed a drop from $2,212,000 to $2,187,000.—only $25,- 000 less.
LOBSTERS CATCH
The biggest contributing factor in the fall of fish landings occurr- ed in lobsters where it is seen thr-t this year's catch is almost a half million pounds less. The figures for last year are 6,515,000 compared to 6,044,000 for this year. There was not such a mark- ed difference in income from lobsters, however. The $1,878,000 which Island lobster fishermen received was only $20,000 less than what they received the year
Landing of codfish increased from 2,900,000 lbs. to 3,500,000 lbs. and the income from this source showed a corresponding jump from $63,000 to $85,000.
HADDOCK
Haddock landings also showed
a jump from 390,00 lbs. to 540,- 000 lbs. The income from had- dock increased“ fitdiififlim 1957 to $22,000 in 1958. Herring production went from 2.6 million last year to 3.8 million this year. They accounted for $46,000 of the fisheries income. g Exepriments in mechanical shellfish digging have been car- ried out during the summer and the Department will follow clos- ely further experiments that they may be carried out in Island waters. _
Market forecasts for fish pro- ducts seem quite favorable. This is seen in the fact that storage stocks are down from 80 million lbs. to 65 million. This, in spite of the fact that freezings are up
before.

“Excellent crops and good har- vest weather during 1958 have given much to be thankful for," said Agriculture Minister Hon. Eugene Cullen on the eve of Thanksgiving day.
Potato acreage this year is al- most the same as during the 1957 season with 46,000 in 1958 compared to 46,357 in last year. Last year however was an ex- ceptional growing year for po- tatoes and the production is ex- pected to be 152 cwt per acre this year compared to the record 195 cwt per acre record of 1957.
This would then leave the Is- land with a crop potential this season of 7,053,000 cwt. The pro- duction last season was 9,028,~ 000 cwt.
SEBAGOS FOR SEED
Of the total Island crop 31v 428 acres have been entered for seed inspection. This represents about 500 more than last year. The Sebago continues to prove the most popular for seed with about 28,000 acres planted. Next are Irish Cobblers with 2,100. Kennebec ranks third in seed planted.
The hay crop during the sum- mer of 1958 was excellent ac- cording to the Minister’s report. He notes that hay was never harvested in beter condition than it was this year—This in spite of the fact that there was ample moisture for all crops.
The cattle population on the Island showed a slight decline during the past year due to the lack of hay during the winter months. Artificial breeding con-

lilONCI‘ON,- No Change is con. templated in .the frequency of sailings and the movement of freight and passengers between Prince Edward Island and New
Brunswick. Douglas V. Gonder, vice-president and. general man- ager of the Atlantic Region of the Canadian National Railways, said here Friday.
Similarly, he said, there were no adjustments planned in the frequency of passenger train ser- vices between the Island and the mainland. '
“We are losing more than $15,- 000 annually on the operation of the sleeping car between Moncton and Charlottetown,” said Mr. Gonder. “The sleeper, which has accommodation for 32 pas- sengers, has been carrying only three persons per trip. Due to this lack of patronage, we can- not justify continued operation of the sleeping car and will discon- tinue it later this month.”
Mr. Gonder stated that the Prince Edward Island sleeper would still be operated between Moncton and Montreal as in the past. Reservations and purchase of sleeping car space would re- main available as formerly in all Island ticket offices.

With the same regularity of on- eration as in former years,” he said. “‘We have bent all our ef- forts to provide the best possible service for freight and passengers moving between the Island and the mainland. In fact, this last year’s operation has evoked praise for the way traffic had been handled.”
“‘It has been necesary for the various ships to be drydocked annually”, said Mr. Gonder, “and it is at such times that any mod- ifications or repairs to the ves- sels are carried out which can- not be handled while they are in regulan service."

The purchase of 15 unused Is- landfarmstobeusedinthe growing of blueberries was an- nounced yesterday by William B. Wells of Amherst, Nova Scotia. Mr. Wells, whose part time oc- cupation is a real estate dealer, has been in the blueberry busi- nes for 35 years.
Mr. Wells said his purchase will comprise some 14 hundred acres of land, all of which has been out of use for some years. He said he did not expect to get into production until about 1961 due to a development pro- gram which he intends to carry out.
WIDE INTERESTS
The Nova Scotian businessman has blueberry growing ' different part of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. He believes there is a great potential for blueberry growing in Prince Ed- ward Island. He said the average yield from an acre of blueberries

is about one thousand pounds.
The farms purchased by the mainland blueberry producer are in the Mount Stewart, Morell and Sourls area. Mr. Wells said. He explained that land that has not been cultivated for a number of year is best suited to the grow- ing of the crop.‘ Systematic burn- ing of the vines is a necesary and important factor in the de- velopment of the berries. CLEANED IN FIELD
Mr. Wells said his berries are given a preliminary machine cleaning in the field and would be given a second and final cleam- ing at the ,cold storage plant wherever it might be. The berries would be done up in 22 lbs. pails.
Asked what he thought of the future‘ market potential, Mr. welt: said the \marhstrlnnW berries, especially in the U.S.A. has Men exceptiomuy good dur- ing these past years. But, he add- ed, “there is always the possib- ility that too many can get into it and spoil it.”

UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. (GP) A Soviet-American clash in the United Nations Friday reduced to some extent optimism over the prospect of an early worldwide ban on nuclear test-s.
The United States, through Am- bassador Henry Cabot Lodge, warned in the UN Assembly’s political committee that any Rus- sian tests after the opening of the big three Geneva disarmament conference Oct. 31 would result in the. withdrawal of President Eisenhower’s earlier offer for a one-year suspension pending fur- ther agreement.
Soviet Delegate Valerian Zorln reacted sharply. accusing the U.S. of using the test ban as a lever to win other disarmament concessions that Russia might not be will-ing to accept at his ime.
ThA two ommnittee speeches were in conrast to the feeling on the eve of the disam'r ament de- bate here that the UN would tac- itly agree to putting on record its support of the Geneva talks and avoiding a conroversial voting showdown particularly on the vital weapons test issue.
AROUSES OPTIMISM
Lodge had aroused even greater optimism by the unusual gesture of showing the Soviet delegate Thursday night a preliminary draft of the American-led resolu- tion that would put the UN for- mally behind the disarmament talks by Britain, the U.S. and

If this suggestion was accepted by the provinces, the federal gov- ernment would find its already- crowded penitentiaries taxed for space. One possible solution that may be looked into involves the taking over of some provincial prisons.
The federal government already has taken the lead in implement- ing some of the recommendations that fall wholly within its juris- diction.
Mm‘e than a year ago, auto- matic review of a prisoner’s sen- tence—for parole purposes—was initiated. This practice is to be carried forward under a five-man parole board to be set up under legislation passed by Parliament

The dugong is vegetarian in its eating habits. They vary in size up to 15 feet.

He said: “Dugongs are ex- tremely rare. It is a 'mam- mal,and presumably the mer- __ maid legend sprang from it because they suckie their young while sitting on their tails."
At one time, dugongs were believed to be extinct. But they have been seen in re- cent years in the Indian Doom and the Red Sea.

in lining up a wide - ranging geographical group of co-sponson to indicate general solidarity be- hind the proposals.
It was learned durng the after- noon that while Canada was still willing to go along with the U.S.. another key middle power—Japan —was withdrawing from the orig- inal lineup of co—sponsors. The ap— parent reason as the lack of unanimity in the committee ex- pressed in the two speeches Fri- day by Lodge and Zorin.
CONDITIONS OF OFFER
Lodge asserted that the U.S. of- fer to suspend tests for a year was not conditional on a full disv armament settlement. but only on Russian agreement on the imme- diae test issue.
“And we are ready to extend our suspension indefinitely each year as long as We know that an inspection system is working and we are making reasonable pror gross on other aspects of disc armament," he added. ’
Zorin refused to accept this American assurance, declaring to the committee that the U.S. was holding out on a nuclear test set- tlement to make it “a In step" in disarmamen agreement.
The paradox of both East and West expressing agreement in principle on the ending of nuclear tests but failing to bring this about is explained by. the prevail. ing mutual distrust. Neither side has yet been able to agree on a system of inspection which could guarantee to the other’s satisfac. tion that the ban would be truly observed.
