In proclaiming the ban on ssh and manufacture of margarine un- der the Provincial Dairy Industry Act, the Government acted on the principle that "an ounce of pre- vention is worth a pound of cure." Premier J. Walter Jones stated last evening. This was the only course available at the moment. he said. since the Legislature does not meet until t-he latter part of February. “It is entirely possible," the Premier added. "that lLmlght be considered to be in our best into.’- ests to permit a controlled sale of margarine in the Province, provided our people were not deceived as to what they are bilylng. Irl thirty of the states of tile United States yel- low margarine is permitted to be sold, while in the other. eighteen states, including New York, yellow margarine is not permitted. 1t is questionable whether or not mar- garine resembling butter should be permitted.

"The strongest complaint against

a hompson.

margarine would seem to be against its masquerading as butter. There- fore, until a decision can be arr-iv- ed at on this important question- and appropriate legislation enacted with respect thereto, it was deem-

Prince Edward Island will loin ‘with the other Maritime Provinces in urging matters of common

while the special claims of this Province will be separately pre- sentcd.

Dealing with representations of the seven Provinces objecting to railway freight rate increases, he said the arguments are still pro- ceeding at joint expense, but al- rcaciy- shippers have been saved "spores of millions of dollars" by iirtuc of this action.

Wltil regard to the liquor legis- lation. the Premier said the elimin- ation of doctors’ scripts had given “great satisfaction" and he IHW no indication that any other party would adopt this issue in their next platform.

Aout 890.000 has been spent on rural district schools by the Gov- ernment in the past two years to bonus school building unprove- nlents. the Premier said. Only elaht- lchools are now without teachers. The new wing to the vocational school is nearing completion at a cost to be home partly by the Fed- eral Government. About 170 students are now in attendance at day and

rooms at the Experimental Farm will also be used in arricilliursl classes. and it is expected that these courses will go on day

night when an adequate staff is available. Noting progress in geological

The Premier noted that in 1948 passenger traffic at Wood Islands amounted to 64,960. automobile traffic to 14.804 and truck traffic 5.624. while at Borden there were 158,000 passengers. 45,008 auto- mobiles and between 4.000 and 5.- 000 trucks. He noted also that there are 8.288 automobiles and 2.- 583 trucks: registered in Prince Edward Island. and that twenty miles of dust-free realist-ere added sst year to the 200 miles previous- ly done. It. is expected that, more roads will be dust-profiled in 1949, including a main road to Borden.

Health Plan

Referring briefly to the Federal Health Plan, he said Prince Ed- ward Isiand continues to lead all Canadian Provinces in progress under the_pian and that expendi- tures in the Health Department now exceed those of any other de- partment. with the Federal Gov- ernment bearing a. very consider- able share of the cost.

Dealing with finances, he said

revenues of more than five million and had spent them economically, that last year the operating surplus was “'by far the largest in our history" and that interest on the Province‘: funded debt had been lowered.
