The annual meeting of the Prince Edward Island Marketirg; Board was held in the Board of- fice yesterday with a full attend- ance of Board members. Mr. Don- ald A. M9.cDonald,- was re-elected chairman and manager for the coming 'year. 5. G. Peppln was re-elected technical adviser to the Board, and Miss Margaret Mac- Millan was re-elected secretary.

Mr. MacDonald advised The Guardian last evening that the future programme of the Board was fully discussed by the Board in the light of the recent decision by the Supreme Court of Canada. which in effect fully confirmed the legislation under which the lgoard operates. and it's authority over potato marketing policies.

It was agreed that the Potato Board will carry on it's present promotional and marketing pol- icy." nuances therefor to be derive from a. system of licens- ing dealers, assemblers. export truckers and growers, in several group classifications. details of which will be announced later.

Brlgh ter Marketing Prospects

MrHMacDonald said that some quantities oi new potatoes have already been exported from this Province. for which growers re- ceived from 33.50 to 34 per 75-lb. bag. He also stated that market prospects are much brighter than they were 12 months ago. Price, levels in both this country and the United States are over twice as high as they were a. year ago.

All available potatoes are being absorbed as soon as they are har- vested, and this condition should continue for some weeks, as there is no evidence of market weakness anywhere. "It would seem. there- fore." Mr. MacDonald said, "that Island producers should be very careful about making sales com- mitments in advance. unless prices offered are in accord with present market possibilities."

Officials-iiieny H-Bomb Aciuaiiy, Touched Off

ROME. July 28 -(AIPl- The Defence Ministry announced to- night that an explosion had been touched off in Italy in an attempt to transform "a. very small amount of hydrogen into helium."

While the Ministry did not em- phasize the point, this is the some reaction which,scientlat.s and mil- itary researchers in various parts of the world have been trying to build up to the proportions of the hydrogen bomb.

First reports on the Italian ex- permient, appearing in the news- paper Il Glornale d'ltalls. earlier today, said an Italian scientist had actually exploded an-1-I-bomb.

This was catergorlcally denied by Defence Minister Raridolio Pac- ciardi. who said such reports "were completely without funda- tlon." Actually Pacciardi added. it was an experiment "regarding the possibility oi transforming a very small amount oi hydrogen into he- Hum... .

The value of the experiment will not be known until a detailed scientific examination has been made, the Minister said.

OTTAWA, July 28 -(OP)- The Canadian housewife may soon be able to buy canned pork at bargain prices at local grocery stores, but this consumer bonanza may cost taxpayers between 88,000,000 and 310,000,000.

Burgla-r, Suspect Kills Girl .Friend,'

Suicides -

then committed suicide as police closed in.

Stacie died in the word of the Vancouver General Hospital. In the next cot, lay lfnrry Weber, 52, the girl's' ia- ther. shot in the log by Steele an hour bdforc.

Only a thin curtain drawn be- tween the twp cots separated the two. Weber, released after treat- ment. kncw Steele was in the cot beside him. But he did not know at that time Steele had killed his daughter.

Police said they found a drug adict's paraphernalia in the apart- ment. A detective said he believed Steele took a shot of heroin to bolster his courage as a police cordon closed in on him.

Steele, Miss Weber and three other persons had been scheduled to appear in court today to face trial on charges of stealing 52,800 worth oi clothes from a sports- wear factor. Steele was out on 53,000 ball, the girl on bl,000.

Police said Steels believed his former girl friend might testify against him. They said they found a pair of handcuffs, two padlock: and a chain in the apartment. rented by Steele only yesterday. This indicated Steele intended to keep the girl prisoner until the heat was off and he could take her out of the city, police said.

About an hour before court opened, Steele eptered the Web- er's second-storey apartment by ll ladder.

Police chased Steele's car but lost sight of it. Later, they re- csived a tip on Steele's hideout.

Police had reached a bedroom in the apartment house next door to Steele's apartment when they heard two muffled shots.

for it.

The pork accumulation caused by the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Canada. went on the market at about 40 cents a. pound. delivered to grocery stores in On- tario and Quebec, with fluctuating lower prices at other centres across the country.

Officials said the cut-rate price will allow grocery men to reduce the retail price of canned pork to between 36 and 42 cents from a- bout 50 or 55 cents.

That price reduction may stir up bigger sales. but on every pound sold, the Federal Treasury will stand to lose between 17 and 23.8 cents. on 40,000,000 pounds the loss may run to almost tl0.000,000.

The pork surplus became serious in Canada when the ioot-and- mouth outbreak resulted in the United States embargo on Cana- dian meais and livestock.

In a drive tostablllze meat-mar- ket disruptions caused by the dis- ease. the government, through the Agricultural Prices Support Board. originally offered to buy surplus

pork for canning at 63.8 cents a pound. some pork was purchased at

this price which later was reduced to 6128 cents and still later to 57 cents. The board still is offering to buy surplus pork for canning at the latter figure.

Normally. Canada is not a great pork-ca.nnl.ng country, preferring to sell her pigs in the natural state or in various cuts and cures to home and foreign markets.

The government resorted to can- ning to get under ihe Aniericani embargo which does not cover can-i, ned meats. However. agricultural officials have found they can get no better price for the product in the U. S. than in Canada and have decided to let the Canadian house- wife have the cheap product first.
