The Co-operative plant has about the same number on its payroll with Mr. Alphonse Mac- Kenzle as top man: Weather has interfered with hauling traps in this district as elsewhere. never- theless catches have been heavy,

Totailed up, the factory staffs of the three lobster canricrlee in the immediate vicinity of Morell. reach about 70 hands.

In Moreii itself the Coopera- tive Store manager. llr. !'rank Dunn. was cautiously satisfied with the spring prospects. His store is well patronized and the fine modern cannery conducted by the Co-op. is doing business as usual. Mr. Dunn is always mind- ful of the fact that an enterprise as ambitious as the one he con- trols has its problems, even when business is brisk as it is at present. 0ne.of the busiest men in Mo- rell in rhcent days has been Mr. Rossitcr of the Dingweil and Rossiter C any, one of the count.ry.side's well-known general stores. This firm exports consid- era-ble produce. and last week was rounding up and loading a varied cargo for Cornerbrcok, Newfound- land. The diesel-driven vessel "Samuel B" was taking on this freight at Souris. with a younger member of the firm, Mr. Jack Ros- siter, .uyc.iutend.ing the loading. Included in the cargo was 5000 bags oi potatoes, one hundred casu of eggs. 3 pairs of young pigs and large quantities of car- rots and cabbage. The potato order was particularly pleasing since the importing cornpariy in Newfoundland was willing to ac- cept '15. B0 or l00 lbs. bags of any good variety. This leaway in the size of bags in particular. greatly eased Dingweli and Rossiter's work in filling the order. It was not a large order but many such small cargoes of mixed freight leaving this Province regularly would guarantee prosperity to many communities such as Mo- rell. O O O
The village has one sore spot which it hopes will soon be salved. The highway at the very entrance to the village has been one of the roughest pieces of a.HUIlb1Gd and rutted pavement east of Char- ioitetown for four or five years. Make-shift repairs have been of no avail and every motorist and truck-driver has muttered a re- verse blessing on this stretch of road, and marvelled that nothing has been done to fix it.
But now, Hon. H. H. Cox. whom the district has elected to the local Legislature for many years" is Min- ister of Public Works, and he can hardly close his eyes to the neces- sity of taking action to mend the road. The broken pavement in only a few yards from his own doorstep. and he is well-aware. no doubt. of what the travelling pub- lic has been saying about the poor state of this western approach lo Morell. Obviously, only a re- constructed and well drained road bed will put matters right.

Mr. Roland Macnougall of the Canadian Immigration Department, formerly of Bangor and Morell. will be located in his home Prov- ince for the next few months ar- ranging the settlement of Dutch farmers and settlers. Former Captain in the Canadian forces overseas he lost an eye in action. but remained in the service until the war's end. His father Peter MacDougall was severely wounded in world War I and now lives in retirement at Morell. Captain MacDougall has a brother at St. Peter's, who has established a modern saw mill and lumber yard there within the past few! years. Henry Macbougail. owner of the lumber mill. also served with the Canadian forces during the war.
Although Captain MacDougall will make his headquarters in Charlottetown. his work will take him all over the Province.
Many Dutch fann workers have been arranged for by Island farm- ers. and these will be arriving in small groups throughout the sum- mer. The first group sailed from Holland on May 17th and are due
