Nova
Scotia's
Position
;
PREMIER
ANGUS
Macdonald
is
njt
satisfied
en-tirely
with
the
deal
he
is
getting
for
his
province
i
of-Nova
Scotia
from
the
federal
government
but
us
ready
to
sign
up
a
conditional
agreement
and
fight
Jon
for
better
terms.
He,
at
least,
shows
his
desire
'.and
willingness
to
deal
along
reasonable
lines.
While
holding
out
fully
for
the
rights
and
the
best
he
can
!get
for
his
province
along
lines
which
he
considers
:fair,,
he
is
acting
reasonably
and
tractably.
And
this
leaves
big
and
selfish
Ontario
and
Que-Ibec
the
only
provinces
which,
strong
and
powerful
as
they
are,
do
not
seem
to
have
any
wish
or
inten-j
tion
of
trying
to
get
along
with
the
rest
of
Canada.
tIf
Drew
and
.Duplessis
would
take
a
leaf
out
of
the
Macdonald
book,
they
would
command
more
atlmira-'tion
md
respect.
'.WATCHING
EXPENDITURES
i
IT
MAY
BE
A
LITTLE
late
to
start
talking
about
I'-'itjMio'w
"-Daily
but
the
feeling
has
been
expressed
to
the
News
that
the
city
council
went
a
little
strong
in
deciding
to
spend
as
substantial

as
$34,000
Ion

Co-operative
fish
plant
and
the

at

Suggestion
is
that
a

might
have

there

be

merit
in
such
criticism
as
this
is,
of

a
matter
of
opinion.
Another
view
is
that,
,
if
work
is
to
be
done
at

it
should
be
done
well
and
madf

CITY
BEAUTIFICATION
WHILE
COMMUNITY
beautification
appeals
to
our
civic
pride,
it
also
means
a
stimulus
business
activity.
Money'
is
spent
on
painting,
mod-eriizing-and
renovating
of
propertieshome
ingP,
and
all
the
other
kindred
items
that
mean
dollars
and
cents
to
businessmen.
Cleaner
buildings,
homes
and
streets
also
bring
benefits
to
our
citizens
by
increased
efficiency,
health
ajicl
morale.
This
is
to
the
good
in
every
way.
They
also
create
a
more
favorable
impression
on
tourists
-
.
.
,
ag
reflections
of
our
character
and
induce
longer
visits-vspent
among
more
;conpenial
surroundings.
We
all
stand
to
gain
by
this
beautification
campaign,
so
every
citizen
should
jojn
in
the
efforts
of

make

HALIBUT
market
i
A
NNOUNGEMENT
BY
THE
Wartime
Prices
and
J
Trade
Board
that
buyers
of
fresh
halibut
will
no
t
longer
have
to
freeze
half
of
the
fish
.of
this
species
they
purchase
has
come
as
good
news
to
most,
Ithoueh
there
is
some
little
speculation
as
to
just
what
tthe
effect
may
be,
says
the
Fisherman.
1
-Since
ther
e
are
no
longer
ceilings
on
halibut
in
i
either
Canada
o.r
the
United
States,
and
since
there
is"
now
no
longer
any
restriction
on
export
of
frozen
.or
fresh
halibut,
the
general
effect
should
be
to
bring
'
Canadian
dealers
fairly
good
returns.
During
the
war,
iresh
halibut
could
be
exported,
;
but
owing
to
the
ceiling
prices,
in
some
cases
prices
received
were
less
than
enough
to
.cover
costs.
The
margin
between
Canadian
produced
ceilings
and
U.S,
wholesale
ceuings
was
too
small.
The
50
per
cent
frozen
was
saleable
,onJy
in
Canada.
!
However,
(there
is
some
speculation
on
how
,the
.market
for
halibut
will
"hold
uu
in
the
face
of
what
:
happened
with
cod
and
other
bottom
fish.
If
some
'processors
were
to
place
large
quantities
on
the
market
fi-esh
at
the
pr.es.ent
lime,
without
discretion-then
of
course
prices
would
tend
to
decline.
But
ah
;
in
all,
the
picture
looks
bright
or
halibut
even
though
earlV
'bids
on
the
Prince
Rupert
Exchange
lnip-ht
tend
to
indicate
.that
prices
to
fishermen
would
fall
below
last
year's
ceilings.
