Problem To

a federal board controlling the traffic moving between the prov- inces or between a province and the United Slates.

Proposes Conference

". .. I propose to call a con- ference of provincial ministers having jurisdiction over highways

discuss the problems arising herein and to endeavor to find a common ground on the best way to regulate and control high- way transport. whether intrapro- vlncial, interprovincial or inter- national.

"Among 10 provinces. all inter- ested in the control of the traf- fic using their highways. there may be different views expreucd on this subject.

"I am hopeful that s common understanding may be reached to the end that the provinces will be able to regulate and control all motor transport using provin- cial highways."

Under questioning in the House Mr. Chevrier declined to expand on the "carefully-prepared" state- ment, understood to have been drafted by the government as a whole.

Questioned outside the house, he would not say what measure of " on understanding" wouidbe required among the provinces be- fore the Federal Government might turn over its trans-border juris- diction.

Asked lf similar regulations by all provinces would be needed. he replied merely: "Not necessarily."

Regulations Vary

Provincial legislation and regu- latlons on trucking now vary wide- ly, All exercise control over such factors as size and weiehl 01 vehicles and safety regulations. but

some do not control haulage rates

while others do. some control the entry of trucks into the business: others do not.

Of all the provinces. Saskatche- wan is the only one which has stated officially it would be willing to turn over jurisdiction on trans- border trucking to the central gov- ernment.

Now that this jurisdiction has been definitely placed with Ottawa. speculation has arisen as to how the Federal Government might transfer it to the provinces. one legal view is that it could be done by an act of Parliament cons tut- ing provincial highway regulatory board as federal boards for the

purpose.

Meanwhile. the federal sn- uuuncement was welcomed by the Canadian Trucking Association. national organization that speaks for the 670,000,000-e.-your "for hire" trucking industry.

"The minister's statement is wonderful news for the trucking industry and gives hope that con- trol of all trucklngwithinand be- yond provincial borders will con- tinue to be administered by pro- vlncial regulatory boards." John Msgee. executive secretary, said here.

Merk Cameron are pleased to learn that he has socompeiiled his son Bertram Cameron. on a brief vaca- tion ernong relatives and friends. to places of much intorest on the Mainland. Best wishes are landed to Mr. Cameron that this visit shall. as a respite from labors, and s belin to s spirit burdened by the the recent death of his beloved wife. may prove beneficial.

Best wishes for an enjoyable visit are extended to Mr. and Mrs. Boyd MncQuIrrie, Mr. and Mrs. H. 3. Wood, Mr. and Mrs. A. D. In- insn, as they leave by motor on Pebrusry 22. on en extended visit among relatives and friends In Florida.

S'side Constables Will Allend Police School

-Police-Constables Harry Mac- Ksy and Elmer Matheson of the Sums-nerelde Police Department will leave on Friday morning for Halifax to attend a two weeks course at the Maritime Police School from March 1st to 13th.

The course provides instruction on various phases of police work and this will be the first time that officers of the Summer ” Police Department will have at- tended this police instruction school. Constable MacKay has served with the Summerside po- lice for eight years while Con- stable Matheson has been with the force for four years.

The decision to send these of- ficers was made last evening at a special meeting of the police committee and attended by Chief of Police Peter White.-S.

emphasis has been placed on in- dlvidual contacts with farm peo- ple, and individual discussion of farm problems.

"Furthermore, there has been a greater number of meetings and what might be called short coirrses held throughout the Province. It is estimated that this practise has been constructive. and further extension in this direction will be supported.

"The whole subject of livestock rough.-iges. and a greater measure of economy in feeding practises. has also been stressed. and improv- ed pastures and grass land man- agement have been developed.

New developments featured the annual report of the Federal Dairy Products Divlsoin. Market- ing Service, presented by Mr. W. F. Rogerson, Dairy Produce Grad- er. at the annual meeting of the Federal-Provincial Conference of Agriculture officials held yester- day et Birch Court.

The new developments high- lighted included the establish- ment in this city of a plant for the evaporation and drying of milk. the first plant of its kind in the Maritimes. At Summerside a modern combination butter and cheese plant was erected last year. bringing under one roof three former cheese factories and three butter factories.

In Kinkora the original cheese factory was remodeled and con- verted to the manufacture of but.- ter. The various changes are ex-

pected to bring a higher stand- ard of quality to Island dairy pro- ducts. However. the report noted that at the end of last year there were only five cheese factories in operation compared to the eight of the previous year. During the same period the butter factories of the Island dropped from fif- teen to fourteen.

Butter production reached an all-time high last year of 5,a2o.ooo pcundi. an increase over 1952 of 762,000 pounds. At the same time the total graded was 5,384,192 pounds or approximately 95.8 per- cent of the entire make. Of the total 95.4 percent was listed as Canada First Grade.

Cheese production was also up slightly with a total of over half a million pounds. Of this approxi- mately 70.5 per cent was graded.

ed in harmony with the Board. However, he pointed out that 12 or 13 dealers in New Brunswick had work gainst the pools. and had cause considerable trouble.

A few Island potato growers had aggravated the position of the industry by selling to a few deal- ers for a kick-back of five or ten cents a bag, he stated. It was those potatoes which had been shipped on a consignment basis and helped depress the market.

Mr. McI.saac also indicated that something would be done in the turnip industry to help marketing He pointed out that Ontario grow- ers had receivcd twice as much for their turnlos as Island men. Mr. Roland MacDonald of South- port was re-elected President of the Federation at I. special meet- ing of the directors following the main meeting.

The First vice president is Mr. William C. Cairns of Freetown and the second vice president Wilfred MacDonald, Bi-udeneli.

The meeting passed nineteen resolutions submitted by the C-oiiniy Federations. One of the

-resolutions supported the Canadian

Federation Policy of discouraging over-production until more mar- kets are procured.

Another resolution pointed out that support prices are desirable bv the farmers but they should not be set at levels which would stim- ulate increased production. Ef- forts io improve the quality and packaging of Island potatoes were endorsed in another resolution.

The meeting backed a propcsallo remain on standard time through- out the summer months and also recommended that a national plan be developed for the incurably crippled. At the same time they approved the present system of old age and blind pensions.

Another resolution asked that the liquor stores in Charlottetown and Summerside be closed at the same time as other liquor stores on Sat- urday (six o'clock). This resolut- ion was introduced by Louis 0'- Connor for the purpose of cutting out Saturday night accidents and

The matter of artificial insemin- ation will be taken up by the Fed- eration. The chaiiman, Mr, Mac- Donald ststed that the farmers would have to be prepared to put their own money into such an un- dertaking and that he would try and see that such I policy were implemented.

An increase of 31.00 on the bounty of foxes, skunks and rac- coons was asked by the meeting. The Federation suggested that the rural electrification be speeded up as much as possible: that weekly market reports be revived; that school meeting be held on the first Tuesday in June not later than eight o'clock; that the Nat- ional Farm Radio Forum be sup- ported and developed; and that something be done for turnip mar- keting such es the formation of a Growers Association.

PRESIDENT'S IIIPORT

Mr. MacDonald in his report said: "The time has come when

farmers of tibia Province must have is lot to say about the hand- ling and marketing of the products of their labors." said Pruident Itolsnd Mecbonsld at the open- ing session of the meeting yester- "Bearing thin in sceQted the job of Presi-

dent and whether from our efforts or not. the projects which we un- dertook have met with reasonable success." The president expressed his thanks at the co-operation he had received from the Premier and the Provincial Government and said that the ruuits of their dis- cussions with che Government re- garding rurai 'e.lectrifica;tion "would be announced later."

Mr. MacDonald stated that the task of straightening out the Provincial Marketing Act did not meet with the success that he would have wanted, but due to ex- isting legislation which he hoped would be amended, they consented to a license fee being placed on all shippem and growers instead of a levy per hundred pound.s on produce, especially potatoes at the point of shipment. "But we shall continue, for it is the intention of the Board to remedy that situation. so that farmers will have some other way of paying without hav- ing to procure a license."
