DAYLIGHT TIME Fast And Slow: Across Country Shipbuilding Tough Industry In Canada LAUZON, Que. (CP)--'Ship-| "We are not too happy about since it takes considerable time By THE CANADIAN PRESS Daylight time--annoyance to the farmer; joy for the late- afternoon golfer -- returns to most of Canada Sunday, April 30 But although we've had fast time off and on for more than #0 years, we remain Tar from unanimous in our adoption of the idea. A Cross-Canada Survey by The Canadian Press shows, in fact, that only two provinces-- Newfoundland and British Co- lumbia -- make daylight time mandatory. | Alberta and Prince Edward )sland remain on standard time SRV the April 30-Oct. 29 switch the year round. Practically all major centres, in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, | prohibiting daylight time except in certain cases, last year had some demands for consideration changes in the law. But the legislature hasn't taken up the question. DAYLIGHT PERIODS VARY While both Newfoundland and British Columbia have statutes requiring daylight time to start April 30, they differ on the dates for return to sun time. New- foundland reverts to standard time Oct. 29. B.C. goes back building is a tough industry to be in right now in Canada." That laconic statement by a young executive of Davie Ship- building Ltd. sums up the com- pany's feelings and those of Canada's shipbuilding industry struggling to make a go of it while faced with a worldwide f depression. Davie, one of Canada's larg- est and best-equipped firms, is casting about for contracts to keep the yards going. But no new work is expected to start this year. Sept. 24, a week later than last yea Most Nova Scotia centres ob- ut a few places in the An- napolis Valley were undecided on their dates.

"Lauzon depends on "No yard in Canada is in an exceptionally good position All told, 10 commercial ships jare on order or under construc- in Canada's yards. This contrasts with last year when 50 such ships with a record ton- nage of 157,419 were built in 16 while more than welcome, do not of- from the decision of any owner to build a vessel until the first steel is rolled." Every shipping and -shipbuild- ing nation in the world, the in- dustry says, receives some form of government help except in Canada. That, combined with lower wages abroad, has meant a spasmodic flow of orders for Canadian yards. The industry feels shipping more work for Canadian yards. In the United States, with | | provides work for builders of coastal vessels too, Canada's coastal waters are open to any vessel flying a Commonwealth flag, says Mr. Lowery, giving some foreign vessels "a preferred position" to carry goods from one Cana- dian port to another. When Canada's deepsea fleet dwindled after the Second World War, the backbone of the build- ing industry became Great Lakes vessels. Ironically the St. Lawrence Seaway, with its great economic promise, has created problems for the build- ing industry, says Mr. Lowery.

ENDS OCT. 29 With a few exceptions, folks who lose an hour's sleep April 30 will get it back Oct. 29. While daylight time provides that extra hour of sun so ap- preciated by city-dwellers in search of late-afternoon recre- ation outdoors, it's a bother to many farmers. They have never quite succeeded in switching old Bossie to the daylight-time habit. Their resistance has kept fast time widely adopted.

GREGORY Illegal Weapons Police Problem MONTREAL (CP) -- are becoming increasingly con- cerned about the number of un- registered revolvers in Mont- real, a city that had more than 500 armed robberies last year. There are 20,000 registered revolvers in the city along with t of smuggled, stolen and war-souvenir weapons that have never been ri ered. Authorities sometifhes get the uneasy feeling that they are try-| ing to maintain order in a vast| armed camp. "With a bit of training and choice of weapons, Montreal could take on the army and all the police forces in Canada,"| said one police official. In 1960 there were nearly 25,- 000 small arms registered in the half of Quebec under jurisdic tion of the Montreal division of the provincial police, crease of 2,085 over 1050. There were 4,000 individual permits issued to carry -a weapon, besides 1,982 covering one or several persons issued to banks, security and protec- tive services. But it is the unregistered arms that are the big worry. Police know that just about anyone can make a deal for a revolver along the Lower Main (St. Lawrence Boulevard). They call it a "disgrace." WANT PRISON SENTENCE Police want mandatory prison sentences for any ex - convict caught with a revolver. At present, says Assistant Police Director Romeo Longpre, any such person can hope to beat a concealed-weapon charge with a $50 fine. Last year Montreal had 527) armed robberies and 108 at- tempted robberies. Real weap-| ons were used in 540 cases and the loot was more than $875, 000 Police are also alarmed by the fast-spreading notion among honest citizens and teen-agers that it has become fashionable to have a gun or something that looks like. one. Joseph Brunet, provincial po-| lice director, says he is shocked by his opposition to have the] number of permits issued re-| duced by nearly half.
