Fishery Advertldii;

Mr. Suvillc suggested that. a good way to boost-the fishery in- dustry would be by a. ca-mpahn of advertising in use press. l-le point- ed out that only 4v.» pounds of fish pcr caplta is being ccneum

ed in Canada. "I could eat that much fish in a day when I am working hard. and I don't think it would do me anything but good." he added.

He recalled that during the War the Dominion Goverrinent expend- ed a. lot of money in advertising ilhe lobster industry, and this created a pmfltable market in Canada. for canned lobster. He be- lieved that a similar crlznrpalgn would have similar results if ap- plied to the marketing of other fish.

Emphasis should also be placed on the proper cooking and serving of fish. Tourists have frequently complained that in Island board- ing homes and hostels the fish meals are not prepared for the table properly.

Picking Strike

"A great deal iusbeen said about the packing plant strike," Mr. Seville noted. "The Premier had to do something about it. Ho call- ed a caucus of the Isiiberll Party and it was not a question of what was exactly lawful from the tech- nical standpoint: but smoothing had to be done. The fan-mere were confronted with a condition that threatened their whole livestock industry. and ‘if there was not a precedent ft was a case of mating a a precedent. That is how irreco- denu occur. because strong men under oertuin conditions do riot hesitate lo go ahead: and that is what the Premier did.

that. iiho strike was ill-advised in a. ploce like this Island. . "Supposing that plruit had cloa- ed down forever and there was no packing plant more at all? Where would these men get_ cmiployment then? It is an iiniiportant thing to, the people of Charlottetown that that plant should bc kept opeoi. I have no doubt ivijhntcvcr that the action of the Government with re- gard to that plant had a greet deal to do with the return of the Government in the last election with an increased majority."

Mr. Seville referred to the work of the Fislicrmens Loan Board. which had put up a splendid new fill house at Rustdoo. He wok ex- ception to Mr. Phillip Matheson‘: criticisms with regard to Govern- ment neglect. of North ftustlco fishing interests, and of the roads in Second Queen's. uihich had re- ceived last year more gravel‘ than his own (MI. Saville'sl had ob- tained.

Relief Payment;

The question of relief payments to the poor in the municipalities is a serious mattmr. he continued. It is said that the responsibility is mainly oii the municipalities. and the Provincial Government only gives fissistfllico when the towns contribute an equal amount. “While the governments are mak- ing up their minds.“ he said. "what are the poor people to do? Per- haps the Premier will snake an- other precedent iii this case and go ahead. whether the people in Charlottetown and the other towns do anything or not. There should not be suclh a thin: as a. family in real need in this Province."

I-le ccmmt-ndcd tho ftellcf Com- mittee for conscientious efforts in dealing with the cases brought. be- fore tliozn. t lie went on to discuss the. pros- pects of growing more livestock feed on the Island. Too many potatoes are bcinz grown on small farms. he believed; the rotation is loo short. causing deterioration of the soil. Despite the use of tons of lime the liny crop is decreasing. Farmers are not keeping enough live stock and putting enough sub- stance back into tihe ia-nd.

Too mamy pcoplc, Mr. Sriville maintained. PERU-Pd the fisheries industry a5 of less importance than it actually is. Oii the other hand. counting tho cost of predile- tioii. fnirn products are iioi. nearly as profitable us is generally sup- posed. The fisl-icnmicn. oven when he buys bait. is hel/ptng s:r.iiic other fisherman out. ‘filter-e is no fer- tiliur to be used in this industry. and every year the fish come back to br- harvested. The total amount oi wealth ilcriv-cd from iihc lob- ster packing industry olonc has run into millions of dollars.

Fisherman's Loans

During the past year. Mr. Savllle said, over $60000 ivas loaned through the Fisherman's Loan Board. This is a comparatively small ita-n in the provincial bud- get. but it has meant a great deal. The loans are Pl“! back (or the most part. but indirectly the Pro- vince would benefit even i! this were no‘. the one.

Mr. Seville was concerned about the prospects with regard to the cod and hakc fishing industries. What is lenown as putty-fish oc- curs iri processing fish in over- heated buildings. This trouble has been trwed to a bacterial origin. and the remedy is to how! Well sired finh houses. with better bro- vision for sailing. etc. Such ,a building has been erected at Beach Point. in which there is a continu- (7115 supply of fresh air.

Mr. saville indorsed the Pre- mier's suggestion for the develop- ment of small farm holdings for the growing of ‘fruits and vege- tnbles. "If we could get average farms of about 25 acres we would have a. great many more people here. and there is no doubt that profitable crops could be grown," he said.

He also believed that further improvement was needed i trans- portstion. People want to iLve in places vshere there are good paved roads. He contmended the work done iii the Georgetown district last year. but said that there was much yet to be accomplished. par- ticularly on the roads from For- tune Bridge to Rollo Bey. and the Seven Milo Road. which wit‘. have to be attended to next sum- mer. He agreed with a previous speaker that the road into George- town from Poole's Corner should b: given first consideration.

On Long's Peak in Col- orado lies the ruin of a gigantic tree. 1 am told that during the course of its long life it was struck by lightning foul-tun times. and the avalanches and storms of four centuries thundered put it but it was too much for them ail. In the end it was an army of beetles that destroyed it. It could withstand the storm but it could not withstand those insignifiosnc beetles. And there are many peo- ple who allow the small. insigni- ficant things of iife to destroy them just like that. They allow in- significant things to break their lives. Think of the hard feelings that have risen among people be- cause of small things that probably should not have been noticed; lasting fflendships broken because some one made much ado about nothing. There is e. backyard argu- ment about the pranks or habits of a child or something equally trifling and vicious words and acts follow. Or think of the minor dis- agreements which sooner or later seem to plague families. They are able to withstand the attack o! hardship and death only to break down under the strain of trivial misunders ndlngs or insignificant quarrels. re there not times when peo le tell you their trouh les that you feel like saying. "Why don't you grow up? Why are ysu making so much ado about noth-\ ing?" Believe me, there are many things the Christian cannot afford. He cannot afford to allow himself to be disturbed by petty criticism. he cannot afford to go,into a fit of temper simply because some- one said the wrong word out of turn. He cannot afford to let min- or clashes develop into malor battles. He cannot afford it be- cause in the first place it ‘does something to his soul, and in the second place. he is following a Master who could never tolareio the petty in people. Our Ilordmust be desperately disappointed in His people to see how much they make out of nothing when there a'e such big things to take up. our thought and time. No. we have to _ learn to putthe small things of

Constitution 0i" P..E.I.F.A. Revised

The Prince Edward Island led- aration of Agriculture, which con. eluded its annual meeting at the on Hell yesterday, will now hsvo s practically new Constitu. tion as the result of several

changes or additions made in many

of the articles.

Art-idle 3 has had the following words inserted: “nor shall any Ptrlon b9 perniitied to hold a Position on the Board of Directors Ofgthe Federation who is a mem be! of the Federal or Provincial Parliaments. a political candidate for any party, or any person who 51181868 in political activity." Another important change is that hereafter only one mambo;- of a Provincial member organiza- tion shall be allowed on the Board of Directors of the Federation. Formerly, the president of a mem- ber organization was automati- fillly l. director of the Federation. The new Constitution also pro- vides for the inclusion on the Directorate of two directors-at- lflfte from each County.

WOMAN FARM OFFICIAL HAS NOTABLE RECORD

WINNIPBG, Febjzs - (gm ._ Edna McConnell of Dauphin. Man. only non-male agricultural repre- sentative in the province, frowns on the idea of women following he: lead even though she has created an impressive record in her fic.d. "I don't think women can i) the work of an agricultural repre- sentative." bald Miss McConnell. "I_ got into it only because of the war."

But Dauphin district residents will have no part of Miss McCon- hell's modest contention. They think of the comely. 34-year-old miss as responsible for making their area "tops" in the province where boys and girls farm clues are concerned.

Miss McConnell became the first and only female agricultural rep- resentative in Manitoba in I94‘. when John Conner. who held the Dauphin post. joined the air force. Previously she had been at Dau- phin with the extension scrvice of the department of agriculture. Miss McConnell. who "grew up in agriculture" from her birth a". her parents’ farm at Petersfield. school aining at. Saskatoon. then her degree of bachelor of science in agriculture. Returning to Manitoba. she joined tho Dominion-Provincial

instructor until she went to Dail- phin in i939 for the extension ser- vice. When she succeeded Conner

prosentstlve but the province gave her the full title in May. i946.
