In a brief to the royal commis- sion on transportation, the asso- ciation advocated a new study by Canada's railways and govern- ments to find out what is wrong and what can be done about rail passenger losses. The association pointed to an investigation of passenger prob- lems undertaken by the Inter state Commerce Commission in the United States. The ICC con- cluded that the financial loss om passenger services is real, large and growing and is endangering the future welfare of the U.S, railway industry. SEEK REMEDY If Canada's railways are losing money on passenger trains, said the associati brief, then "it would appear important that this matter of passenger deficits should receive parallel consider- ation and study by the railways and government at various levels in 'his country, with a view to secking a remedy." The brief, submitted by George Paul, Toronto, head of the asso- ciation's transportation commit- tee, asked the royal commission te recommend that the board of (transport commissioners pre- ASSOCIATED PRESS WIREPHOTO MACHINE INTERESTS VISITORS VISITORS LINE UP TO S HOW PAGES ARE MADE UP pe AUTO MATIC TYPE SETTING MACHINE 'New O'Keele Art Centre 8 Dedicate TORONTO (CP)----A marri of industry and culture was Isolemnized at a luncheon here Tuesday with the dedic [the new O'Keefe Cent | Performing Arts The $12,000,000 non-profit multi- {purpose ente |result of way tryout of the duction Camelot, by Lowe and Alan Jan Lerner the ) s foremost t cal personal told the ering the "astounding facilitie m to ensure {the success of the venture.

John J.

Instead, the lake fleets were veloped, but with the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway this industry too was faced with com- oi Parliament and the public to survive and grow.

(AP)--Some 10,000 Vermont farmers milk nearly 300,000 cows, but farmer Gerard Caron is different. He milks maple trees. Caron is one person who has finally dome something about the weather; he outsmarted it. Tired of waiting for warm spring temperatures to make the sap flow naturally, Caron hitched up two milking ma- chines and over four miles of plastic hose to his 1,500 maple trees. Now thermostats control the | i | pumps so that they go into | action when the temperature starts to get above freezing. The pumps enable Caron to draw sap from the trees in colder weather than is normally ssible. Most farmers this sea- | son haven't yet bothered to shovel the snow away from the | door of the sap house. | Asked how he got the idea to nudge nature into action, Caron says: "I guess I'm just lazy. It seemed too much work mak- | i up the old - fashioned idea of hitching up a | milking machine to his 'sugar | bush" evolved over several vears. Caron was forced to give up a profitable dairy herd when he developed back trouble and was unable to do heavy work. & He liad always tapped his maple trees, but with his back uble he wasn't able to tramp through the woods emptying heavy sap buckets. Caron's first step was to link up his maple trees with $1,800 worth of plas- tic hose. Hose s been tried by many in recent ars. How- has one drawback. The cold nights that are ideal to snap the maple trees into sap production also cause the sap in the hoses to freeze. hours of production are #1 the h~ce lines thaw d that by hitching 1 milking machine he could force the sap through the hose lines, break up the frozen "plugs" and pull more sap from the trees. .
