Fines, to- day said the eatimated loss in op- eration of the Saskatchewan Gov- ernment's compulsory automobile insurance plan for the 1950-51 lic- ence year is approximately 02(1).- 000 Mr. Fines said future policy for operation of the insurance plan will be presented at the coming session of the Legislature. It had already been decided there will be no increases in premiums during the coming year. "As a matter of fact." he added. "the Government is so confident in the success of its plan that Saskatchewan motorists will find further improvements in their cov- crage effective April 1, 1951." A representative of the New York State insurance Department. who examined the Saskatchewan scheme. reported Jan. 20 that the plant makes a sizable profit on ccmimercial. vehicles but loses money largely because of heaivy losses on private cars. ilanaiiian Officers Timttend us Schools OTTAWA,-Jan. at - (CP) Gan. Mark Clark told a press con- ference today he has worked out arrangements for Canadian of- ficers to go the United States to attend schools and take advan- tage of other facilities to aid in the Canadian Army's transition from British to American arms. The Chief of the U. S. Army field forces said the Canadian Army probably will come to have "all kinds" of American weapons including tan-ks, Glurand rifles, machine guns, mortars and art- lliery. At present. the tanks available were modern Sherman.-. and a new light tank. These would be avail- able until other types start roll- ing off production lines. As these new types became available. they also would be available to Canada. Gen. Clark. who held confer- ences here today and yesterday with Canadian officials. said the American army would be posting more troops to Fort Lewis, Wash, but there still would be lots of room for Canada's Special Force. IILOSING ARGUMENT Continued from page 1 second application for a rate boost of an indeterminate amount to cover the cost of a short work week going into effect June 1 next. The railways have not yet es- timated the cost of this move. View Of Provinces The Provinces opposing the rate increase-all except Ontario. Que- bec and British Coluimbl intro- duced no testimony. Instead. they attacked the railway submission by argument only. hammering chiefly at the fact that the rail- ways did not produce a forecast of 1951 revenues. Their contention was that the expanding! defence preparedness program would give the railways so much additional traffic that the need for any rate increase should be obviated. In any case, they argued. the railways had failed to prove any necessity for an increase. since the C.P.R. figures indicated a :7. 000.000 surplus for 1950 and the C. N. It had the best Canadian-line showing in four years. Israel Seeks 4 More Doctors Y LONDON. Jan. 24 -(R.eutcrs)- Any doctor who emlgrates to Israel is sure of a job. A thriving Dract ce is certain if he is willing to ride to his patients on horse- back over deeert paths. he two-year-old statefs search for professional vv has led its government to focus a full-scale "recruiting" campaign among Bri- ia.in's 400.000 Jews. So great is the shortage that Israel has established 1 special of- fice in London in an effort to per- Suiade hisihly-tralllod British Jews to emigrate. Other "recruiting" centres have been opened in Que- bec. New York, Los Angeles, Jo- hannesburg. Paris. Brussels, Bom- bay. Sydney and Buenos Alres. Doctors are in great demand, particularly if they are prepared to "rough it" in the outlying col- leciive settlements on which Israel's agriculture is based. Though the number of emig- rants from Britain has been com- paratively small. Israel's main ilpes for skilled key men are cen- tered on the Jewish communities in London, Manchester and Leeds. which produced many administra- tors and technicians for Palestine when that country was under British mandate. The bulk of Israel's immigrants now comes from the lem-develop- ed countries of the Middle East. Since the London office was opened last Summer, 54 profes- sional workers have been sent to, Israel. IN MEMORIAMV MRS. ALBERT E. STEWART On December 30, 1950, at the Prince Edward Island Hospital, after a short illness. the spirit of Mrs. Albert Stewart. Mount Ai- bion. passed from this earthly realm of pain and woe to her Heavenly home above. Her pass- ing at such an early age left an aching void in the hearts of her loved ones left behind and a vac- a-nt piece in the community in which she lived. and was loved, that will never be filled. Bessie. as she was called, was quiet and u.nassumin.g'in manner with a smile and ready wit that made the illumdrum tasks of life easier to perform. She was a faithful worker in her -home, the church and community and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She knew that medical sci- ence flad done all that was possible for her. and that she was fast ap- proaching the end of hey cal-thiy road, and yet faced the great un- known with .a quiet serenity and courage that made all who were with user through her sicknes marvel. No soldier on the battle field ever faced death with more bravery. At the end she quietly fell asleep in the arms of her sis- ter a-nd awoke in the arms of Jesus whom she also loved. After all death for one of God's children is no more than falling asleep and awaking in a better land. Mm. Stewart was the daughter of Mr. A. C. Foster and the late Mrs. -Faster, Dunstaffllage. She leaves to mourn her devoted hus- band, two daughters, Beth and Jean. her -father. also the follow- ing slsier and brothers: Mrs. J. Spurgeon Jenkins, Chsrlottotown, Ernest. Marsh-field and Stanley, Dunstaffnage. After a short service at the Cut- cliffe Funeral Home the remains were forwarded to Pownal United Church. Pownal. where the fun- eral serviloe was conducted by her pastor Rev. A. S. Weir. Povrnal. assisted by Rev. J. Douglas of York United Church. During the service a solo was beautifully ren- dered by Mrs. A. S. Weir "No Night There." The church was filled to over flowinvg with sym- pathetic friends frolri all walks of life and of different faiths. Many and beautiful floral offerings were received. She was laid to rest on New Year's Day. A clean. white countryside and bright sunshine was Nature's fitting tribute to the life she lived. The pallbearers were: Messrs. J B. Stewart. John Thom-psoti, Wal- ren Myers. Earl Buell. Harry Hor- ton and Ralph Horton. To the beresved loved ones w-. wc-uld say: I cannot say. and I will not say That she is dead-She is just away With a cheery smile. and a wave ' of the hand Stile has wandered into an unknown land. , And left us dreaming how very fair it needs must be since she lingers there. So think of her faring on. as dear In the love of there as the love of here; Think of her still as the serrle, I say; She is not dead-she is Just away. OF WINT ONLY. . . . THERE ARE SMART , 'G.B.M.'

Mackenzie. told the annual meeting of the. Nova Scott: Fish and Garne Association today. The educational pl-ognam cf the Department, he said. was paying off in fewer violations of gall-ne laws. "The work done in the schools . is continuing through the higher schcol grades and making better sportsmen of our young hunters." he said. Dr. F.R.. Hayes, professor of biol- ogy at Dalhousie University, spoke on trout conservation. Discussing the addition of nut- rients to the water. he said he knew of no case where this has resulted in an improvement in the supply of trout. James Catt. superintendent of fish culture for the Maritime Provin- ces. said black bass would be in- troduced into the Province this year. Rainbow and brown trout were already being introduced. The Association today decided to urge that the deer-tagging system be extended to resident hunters as well as non-residents. This system. the Association said. would be I. proper check on the number of deer shot and on per- sons guiity of infringing game laws. Biggest Snow Storm Of Season in Quebec QUEBEC.

Jan. 74 -(CP) -The Canadian National R.ailways' today reported its lseo finances were the best in several years. Presenting evidence in the rail- ways' application for a general five-per-cent increase in freight rates. it told the Board of Trans- port Commissioners it had net railway operating income of s32,- 138,000 on Canadian lines. This was about 529500.000 bet- ter than 1949 and the largest since 1946. (Railway sources said the com- pany is expected to Just about break even for 1960 on it! OVEY-I11 finances. Revenue from United States lines and other operations will pull the income to approxim- ately the S46.000.D00 needed to meet the fixed interest charges of the C. N. R. debt.) The Canadian Pacific Railway already has reported to the Board its neg railway earnings for 1960 are estimated at 938.000.0110. Testifying for the C. N. R. to- day, comptroller T. J. Grscey re- ported gross 1950 rail revenues of s478.8'I2.000 on Canadian lines - an alltime high mark. Operating expenses were 5415.- 022000. Tax accruals of S7.(-359.000 and some smaller deductions left a net of &':i2.138.(ll). Had year-end freight rates and ! labor and matorial costs been in effect for the full year. Mr. Gracey said, that figure would have been cut down by another 38,000,000. Basis of the freight-rate ap- plication is the additional cost 01 3, seven-cents-an-hour wage in- crease obtained last year by the 1-ailwsys' nOn-operating employees -those who do not actually run the trains. The C. N. R. told the Board it exlpects to get about 313,000,000 a year from the proposed rate in- crease. The C.P.R.'s estimate for its yield is about 510,030,010 a year. Mr. Gracey said the 1950 cost of the wage increase to the Canad- ian Natiorlal was 57,400,000. It went into effect Sept. 1. The C. N. R. witness also said his company's wage bill in 1950 was Sl04.000.000 more than in l940. In that lo-year period, he said. average labor rates in the C. N. R. had gone up from 65 cents to 81.10 an hour. The company's costs for mater- ials had gone up about 36.000000 in 1950. Mr. Gracey said. Discuss. Federal Aid For Education orrawa.

The case con- cluded late yesterday afternoon in the Supreme Court before Just- ice .George J. Tweedy. The jury returned to the court- room after being out for approxim- ately a half an hour to ask the cdurt if Mr. MscKsy would re- celve the money from the Autom- obile Fund if more was imposed on the son than on the fhther. Jua- tice Tweedy asked the counsels for their opinions on this matter and then recalled the jury and in- structed them they must bring in a verdict of one Iirnolmt against the son or against both defendants. Included in the verdict was the tatement that father and son were both responsible for the oc- cident and damages were against both. In his charge to the jury, Jus- tice Tweedy advised them as to their responsibilities, and of the importance of their duties aaiJury- men. He told them they were the judges of the facts. and he was the Judge of the law. "I must take the facts from you." he said. "You must take the law from me." He advised the Jury they had two questions to consider: 1. Was Cec- il Lcster Roberts living .with and as B. member of the family of Hubert Roberts at the time of the accident. 2. The amount of dam- ages against one or both of the defendants. Reviewed Evidence Reviewing the evidence given during the three day trltl. Justice Tweedy pointed out testimony by an R. C. M. P. offices which stat- ed the boy had been known to live at zts Richmond, the home in: Hubert Roberts. He also reviewed testimony of Frank Hughes who hed stated he had spoken to Cecil Lester Roberts before July 16 1949, and the defendant was at that time driving the truck. The witness had testified he had, at that time, asked the defendant to drive slower on his street as he had a. young child. Justice Tweedy continued by re- ferring to Hubert Robel-ta' testi- mony in which he had said his son Cecil had never been known to drive previous to the accident. R. E). Bell. K. C., counsel for the defence. and W. E. Bentley, K. C., representing the plaintiffs, each gave addresses to the jury beforf they retired. Other counsel were J. P. Nicholson for the plaintiffs and G. R. Foster for the defend- ants. g Witnesses heard during the day were the two defendants, Hubert and Cecil Lester Roberts. ,Members of the jury included Wesley MacQuc.rrie (Foreman).
