Mr. 3/LeKim said be was surpris-
ed to, find that the, natives there
had no taste for fruit and vege-
tables, mainly because there was
only a small farming area. Milk
cost 32 cents a quart when he
was there.
Newfoundland customs are more
affected by Eaigland and Europe
than by Canada, St. John's is
closer to England than to Toronto.
The speaker had great Praise for
Premier Joseph Smallwood, who
he claimed is doing an excellent
re -building job in Newfoundland.
• Mr. McKim said he left St.
John's with mixed feelings; and
said "Anyone who has lived there,
as I and may family have for five
years, is bound to piek up and
hold some of the customs of the
people there."
Bert Gray introduced the speak-
