Mr. E. 3. Bell. maintenance en- gineer. Charlottetown, formerly with the Maritime Electric. was me only witness called. but Mr. J. R, Kaye. President of Engineering Service. Halifax. was on hand in

0 give the results of tin appraisal of the company's use .

Judge C. St. Clair Trainor acted as chairman. assisted by Seem- tary L. B. Macmillan. and -W. 11. Brennan. Mr. J. 0. C. Campbell. K.C., represented the Province, and Messrs. K. M. Martin, W. A. Morell. and C. W. Manning, the City of Charlottetown.

Mr. Kaye. employed by the Commission to make an apipaisal of the assets of the Company, 51.31. ed that they totalled 32,190,000 at the end of June. 1049.

The first battle of wits ensued when Mr. MacPhee cross examin- ed Mr. Kaye as to the method used in arriving at the depreciation figures on the Company's pm. perlies. Mr. Kaye explaiined that whenever possible. it was deter. mined when the article was pur- chased. and depreciation was given over lls service life years. He ex- plained that this system could not be used. however. in regard to such items as'pole.s, sis each one was not dated.

The representatives of the Mari- time Electric were adted by the Commission to bring in a com- plete breakdown of expenses for today's hearing.

Mr. Martin opened the afte;-. noon session when he questioned Mr. Kaye on the efficiency of the four turbines at present in use by the Maritime Electric. Mr. 'Camp- ball then asked him what method was used in determining the ser. vice life years of the various ma- chines. Mr. Kaye stated that whenever possible the date of purchase was looked up. and a physical examination of the item under consideration usually gave a pretty accurate answer.

Mr. Martin then called Mr. Bell as a witness. and he stated that he had been employed by the Mari- time Electric from 1931 to 1043. He told of the kistalllng of a jet condenser in IN7 which he thought was detrimental to the efficiency of the plant. He also stated that it affected the boilers due to'the enormous amount of wate Asked by Mn Martin lxl'):lt.ltustelliG. causes of mo blackouts experi- enced durlm the past couple or .V03l5.

,, Trade Between

Canadafrance

OTTAWA. out. 11 -. (op) - closa working relations have been established between Canada and Franco in a joint effort to bolster trade between the two countries.

The key to the problem. officials sold today; is r-ransom difficulty in earning sufficient douara to pay for tho imports she wants from can- ada. and other dollar countries.

As a result, Cansda's exports to France dropped to 00,700,000 dur- ing the first half of 1&0. wmpared with 022300.000 during the first half of 1949. .

Imports from France have shrunk. too. but not to the same extent. Canada's pus ” totalled 5.300.000 during the first six months of 1050, down slightly from 06.500000 during the correspond- ing period in 1040.

In an effort to help France solve some of its dollar problems, can- ada dispatched bop-notch trade od- viaers to Paris. first in I040 and again this year.

Informal in character. the two- day meeting here reviewed all the stops France has taken in recent months to earn more dollars in Canada and other dollar count- rles.

Generally. Canada indicated will- ingness to buy more from France. if France could meet competitive prices of other suppliers. Nine of the suggestions made by Canada was for France to increase advert- ising of French products through Canadian newspapers and period- icals. radio and other means.

The talks will resume in Ottawa next spring.

Fear Flooding Of lied River Nexi Spring

WINNIPEG. Oct. 11 - (cl?) - Red River valley residents are wor- ried. There is growing concern that the disastrous flocds of 1050 may bc repeated next spring.

The high level of the Red and its tricky tributary. the Assinlboinc: above-normal rainfall'during the autumn; soil that is so waterlog- ged it can't absorb more moisture - these are the worrying factors.

Last May the Red caused the worst flood in the valley in B cell- turv. A dozen towns were under water and practically deserted.

The Winnipeg business district escaped with only basement flood- ing but one-sixth of the city and parts of neighboring St. Boniface were inundated, An estimated 100.- 000 persons were temporarily home- less. Damage was set atmcre than 026300.000.

The Red and Assiniboine Rivers haven't yet fallen to--normal--level. In September. the Red. which rises in Minnesota and North Dak- ota. was carrying almost 50 per cent more water thln last year at the point where it crosses the In- ternational boundary at Emerson Man. 'l'he Asslniboine in Manitoba and Saskatchewan was carryirg almost three times its normal flow.

Engineering authorities here say they are worried by conditions in the whole Red River watersh " south of Manitoba as freeze-up ap- proaches.

The situation almost duplicates the autumn of 1049. except that then the rivers were lower. Ex- ceptional cold and heavy snowfall during the winter. coupled with a fast break-up in the spring. oould duplicate the i060 flcod conditions.

Conversely. they said. a compar- atively dry winter. below-normal precipitation in the spring. and a gradual break-up could remove the flood danger.

In greater Winnipeg work on 33

miles of t9I'I'tD0l'nay dikes is pro- an around-the-clock basis. ' "By spring the city will be in a position to ride out a lots flood and put up a good fight against one like last year's." said Victor Mlchie Federal member of the Greater Winnipeg Diking Board.

In 1948. the Md River's flood crest was logged at 23.4 feet in Winnipeg. This year it reached 50.3 feet. 0

0on'l Spank. ls Advice from Psychologist

DWINNIZPEG. Oct. 11- (cm ont spank a mischievous child. MY! Plychologiat Joyce Burn. 01 the University of Manitoba. The effects won't last.

Whipping a naughty child just arouses resentment against the parent. she said in an interview. it puts the parent in the role 0;

ully.

Here's the right way to unish, says Miss Burns. P

For younger children. isolation from companionship and . normal activities and pastimes. Sending an unruly child from a classroom is an example.

For older children, deprivation of a particular goal. But first make sure the child knows why the punishment is administered.

Punishment wrongly handled can cause a child to feel rejected, Miss Burns added. Parents must make it plain they disapprove of the child's act. and not of the child itself. .

"Otherwise the child will feel it has lost its pail-ant.s' affection."

Mlsa Burns listed two major problems in child development: One. a tendency by parents to dis- cipline children too early. "when they should shelter them" and two. over-protection of children during school years "when they should experience successes and failures on their own."

The psychologist is giving a series of lectures on child study. sponsored by the Manitoba Federa- tion of Home and School and the Winnipeg School Board.

For Hunter

By ORLANDO B. POTTER

SARANAC LANE. Oct. 6 - There have been a lot of good moose stories circulating around this part of the country for the past few weeks. but Dr. Walter in, Taylor local dentist, and formerly a rest- dent of Malpoqua. P. E. I.. recently returned from a vacation in Can- ada. that tops them :11. . '

Dr. Taylor claims that he caught a moose, temporarily. with his own bare hands.

The whole thing took place early last Monday morning when Dr. and Mrs. Taylor were preparing to leave the camp owned by Senator Aaron Daigle at St. Anne dubac. Que about 930 miles north of Montreal. where they had been vacationing The camp is situated on the shores of a remote body of water known as Silver Lake, in the middle of which . Taylor spied a large floating o ject as he took a part- ing glance at the scenery.

Closer examination with binoc- ulars revealed that the floating ob- ject was a bull moose. who was either taking a short cut across the lake for breakfast or just in for an early morning dip. At any rate the moose was in the water minding his own business.

The Taylors. however. were in- quisitive. Together with Col. Brad- ley Davidson of Codvcrstnwn and a Canadian g-uide. they boarded a small boat and headed for the moose. And as they drew near. the animal begin to assume consider- able proportions. He had on antler rack of 18 points.

At first the onlookers were con- tantto circle around the swimming onirnal, taking photographs. The picturaa haven't been processed yet. but Dr. Taylor hopes he may have aoma excellent shots.

Rowing in circles around a moose can begin to get uninteresting how- ever, and it soon occurred to some- cne in the boat that they should direct the moose back up the lake to the camp. so that the rest of the partv could see it. Accordinglv. they used a pair of. cars as blinkcra causing the animal": had to move from side to side. and thus direct- ed his course.

The moon named to be rnrfeci. ly unstable to all this attention and headed towards the camp. It was Icon apparent. howcvwr. that it would be difficult to keep In it was pretty earlv in the morning for so much rowing. so. casting all cau- tion aside. Dr. Taylor reached out and grabbed the moose by the nape of the neck.

After a few lnvestlgatory glances over the shoulder. the moose coll- tinuad hta paddling. and obiiglngly towed the boat for a half mile down

May Move A Famous 0ld . London Market

By ALAN HARVEY LONDON. Oct. 11 - (OP) -

under way to transplant Britain's busiest market.

Agpanol of experts, intent on solving traffic tie-ups. nomenc- ed today that famed old Covent Garden should be shifted from its present carmpsd quarters off the Strand to a new site near King's Cross Station.

That's less than two miles away. but the picturesque, basket-carrying porters who haul London's fruit and vaget-ablca,lnto Covent Garden won't take kindly to the switch.

They prefer the crowded. hust- ling atmosphere of the narrow streets off Holborn. where the pubs are open only in the morn- ings and nearly everybody is fluent in rhyming cockncy slang.

So they're not paying much at- tention to a report submitted to- day to Westminster City Council by a special committee. which says in part:

removed. say. to King's cross. the market could be plan- ned on much more efficient and economical lines . . . , a. great deal of traffic would be removed from the streets in the centre of un- don,-and there would be the fullest opportunity to replan and redevel- op the area now soadvcrsely af- lected by the sprawl of the mar- kct."

Plans for reorganizing the mar- keting of foodstuffs by a. network of new markets. linked with cold storage and processing plants. have been under consideration by Gov.- emment leaders for some time These proposals were expected to be included in the Speech from the Throne at the opening of the new Parliament. but it is understood they may be delayed by financial considerations.

Covent: Garden is not the only London market whose functions may be dispersed. In a parliament- ary reply last July. the Govern- ment said it -was studying the poss- ibility of closing Smithfield meat market,
