increase Shown In Egg lifceipls

Es: receipts have increased and are now considered heavy reports Mr. F. M. Nash, supervising poultry products inspector. In spite of this increase, all graded stocks are mov- ing readily into domestic k ' which include other Maritime points. Montreal and Newfoundland.

Quality up to now has shown very little deterioration but the pre- vailing wsrm weather is bound to have some effect. Mr. Nash adds. With restrictions on trlucks lifted. some dealers are shipping to other Maritime points in this manner.

Two carlois of mixed grades mov- ed to Montreal this week. totalling approximately 1.000 cases.

The warm weather is expected to lessen the percentage of soiled and dirty eggs in receipts and thus givo the producer s higher return for his product providing the gen- eral cars of the flock is maintained and eggs are marketed as soon as possible, preferably twice or three tirnes a week.

As the egg will start to germin- atc at 68 degrees F.. now would be the proper time to start taking pre- cautions to safeguard the product by gathering eggs often, storing in a cool, dry place preferably keep- ing them in a wire basket or con- tainer made so there will be a cir- culation of air at all times and ship- ping soon nfter being put in cases.

In making shipments to register- ed egg grading stations, tho pro- ducers are advised to cover their eggs from the direct rays of the sun with a canvas or tarpaulin. This will protect them and lessen the chance of sweating when re- ceived st grading stations as tem- pcratures there are controlled.

Egg prices at Charlottetown have advanced on top grades. Dealers are paying for ungraded eggs delivered A L39. AM 37. B 30, C. 25 and for the graded pack regular (export pack has been discontinued for the present) fob AL 44, AM 42. B 35. C 30. Wholesale to retail AL in car- tons 48, AM 46, B loose 39. Retail to consumer prices have not YB! been adjusted.

Local Shopping Cenires Crowded

People from all over the Pro- vince flocked to the City yesier- day by train and bus to give Charlottetown merchants their busiest day of the year.

From the small establishments up to the large departmental stores the story was the same, with the managers all describing the trade "exceptionally good."

Late spring sales of the latest styles in men and women's cloth- ing all featuring price cutting val- ues. big discounts on the smaller ltorns and price slashing on furn- iture and grocery lines gave Isl- anders a chance to go on a buy- ing splurge, the like of which hadn't been witnessed since the advent of 1949.

And to add to the success of the event. which continues until Sat- urday. warm, summer weather with brilliant sunshine predomin- ated.

One of the great attractions was the opening oi the new Wool- worth premises on Queen Street in the centre of the business dis- trict. Magnlficentiy constructed and equipped, the buildill! W" the centre of attraction and was crowded by shoppers and spectat- ors throughout the day.

. The plant operates under Mr. Connolly's supervision. with Mr. DJLR. Durber ll plant manager and Hurry Sims ss refrigeration en- gineer.

The herrirw season lasts shout one month and the day and night shifts will be continued until all supplies are handled. Storage specs on the second floor will so- commodste the equivalent of 20 car loads of frosen bait. ‘Illiis sup- ply source will take care of the needs of Inland fishermen st all seasons, and particularly during July and August when bait is al- ways scarce in Islmd waters.

Increased Activities

The new bait plant canvprisrs s. two-storey addition to the Pro- vincial Government's cold storage pllDt which was established under Mb. Connolly's direction following the destruction by fire of the 1's- lsnd Cold Storage Company plant. Prom s. total of 800m0 pounds in 1947-48. the volume of goods offer- ed for storage increased to lip- proxinistely 2.1111000 pounds for the year ending March 31 last. In addition to farm produce. some 70.- 000 pounds of smelts were frozen and stored last year for shipment to the New England market.

Last spring it was found that the space available was not suf- ficient to meet requirements, and it was felt that the fishing industry should receive more attention by establishing a bait freezer of suf- ficient capacity to supply the needs of all the shore fishermen. This plan was launched with the con- currence of the Dominion Depart- ment of Fisheries, which agreed to assist by wsy of subsidy.

The equipment for bait freezing was installed by Mr. T. W. Cope, refrigeration expert with the John Inglis Company. Ltd, Toronto. and is among the most modern in Can-

s.

All three floors of the new plant are 2.’: by S2 feet. the first. floor be- ing divided to form s. freezer room 25 feet wide, 50 feet long. and a roomy corridor. Floors, walls and ceilings are heavily insulated throughout.

The Freezer Boom

The freezer room contains 4 units of shelf-type freezer coils. 2 units on each side of the room. Each unit is supplied with s, centrifugal fan, each fsn delivering 5.000 C.F. M. of air directly over the coils. which are equipped with surge drums and automatic liquid feed control. Also installed at the ceil- ing are four banks of Finplots coils of the direct expansion type. The room will mm a. minimum M80.- 000 pounds of product each 24 hours.

Galvanized metal pans are pro- vided to suit the shelf typo coils for the freezing of round fish. Some types of packaged fish can also be frozen in these pans.

The equipment in the cold stor- age plant machine room consisted of two compressors with a capacity of 10 tons of refrigeration each, 1nd s. 3o ton shelf and tube con- denser with equivalent ammonia receiver. An additional ammonia compressor has been installed with n refrigerating capacity of 42 tons, also a 50 ton evaporative condenser and an additional ammonia re- ceiver. .

In the machine room is s drill well capable of producing 2.700 Bal- ions of water per hour. The well is equipped with a five stage turibine pump which delivers the water to the condensers and co pressors.

The plant's (rombiin equipment will mean the saving of molly thousands of dolled-s to Island fami- ers and fishermen in central stor- age and freezing facilities.

The bloody clashes occurred at the heavily-manned road blocks when strikers outnumbered pol- ioa by as nismy as 80 to 1. Police attempting to have the town were said to have been let through one blockade only to be trapped by mother.

Late tonight, on- my third at- tempt. I Rot into the town of As- beams. Ths town was quiet and there was no sign of pickets. Most of the people were at a midnight mass. 1 I had to pass strong blocksrlos of trucks across the higlway.

At the first there were 1.50 or more grim-faced strikers and 50 to 60 others at each of the next bIOOkBAQQ- The some situation held on all roads leading into the town.

Late today I was turned back and told by men armed with tree branches and chair rungs that no one could get through unless he lived in Asbestos or was a doctor or

clergyman.

My second attempt was no more successful. When I stopped at the first blockade s. car driven by a burly striker came up from behind and gave mry car a solid bump. I was ordered to return to Danville.
