llotary Luncheon

Mr. William Hayward. manager of the Summerside branch of the Bank of Nova Bcotia. was guest speaker at the Rotary luncneon meeting held at Howard's Restaur- ant. Mr. Hayward, who is a direc- tor of the Summerside Board of Trade. told the Rotary gathering of the magnitude of the work per- formed by the Board of Trade and stated that it doesn't receive the support it did a few years ago and so readily deserves. He said that the parent body. the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. which comprises 700 boards of trade across the nation. represents all businesses, large and small, and looks out for the businessdnter-tsts of all its members. He stated that the Chamber of Commerce is com- paratively new. having celebrated its 35th anniversary in October, but he said it is an organisation formed to co-ordinate the thoughts of its member boards. The guest speaker pointed out that free en- terprlse is built on small businesses and that these same small busi- nesses are the backbone of Canada. He also mentioned that small busi- nesses are getting an increased volume of the general business i.n Canada. In describing Canada as an exporting country, Mr. Hayward said we ship 60 per cent of our exports to the United States and that '15 per cent of our imports come from our neighbor to the south. which is only 20 per cent of its total export trade.

He said that trade relations be- tween the two countries are not always satisfactory and mentioned the tariffs on potatoes going into the United States from Canada but said there are no tariffs on pc- tatoes coming into Canada from the United States. He also told of the variance in valuations set by officials at points of entry.

Mr. Hayward said the United states will take our raw materials, but as soon as we start manu- facturing these same raw materials, and sell in the United States in competition with them, they start looking for tariff protection. He stressed that Canada is the United States' best customer and as so, should be looked after accordingly. The guest speaker said that a large number of big businessmen in the United States are now realizing this fact and that 3, board set up under President Eisenhower's direc-

other group. in this connection. Mr. MacDonald, who is a past. pre- sident of the milk producer's board, gave an illustration of the benefits gained by proper organ- Italian in that group.

The Federation President in making reference to rural assess- ment said that it was a "sore spot" to the farmer living in the suburban areas. He pointed out that there has been a conslde, able exodus of city residents to the rural areas adjacent to the city. but went on to state that the heaviest burden of taxation came upon the land owner. "There shoud be an adjustment of tax- ation on the basis of the person's ability to pay," said Mr. MacDon- ald, "There is little fairness in the fact that a man with pro- perty has to pay 5100 taxes while his neighbor who perhaps has a much higher income but because he lives in a rented house. pays only S5.

BUTTER PRICE!

Mr. MacDonald had something to say about butter price. He was in sympathy with the consumer who wanted the price of butter reduced but he expressed strong opposition to the latest move of the National Dairy Council of Canada who have made a pro- posal that the floor price on but-

ter be removed as a means of' getting rid of Canada's butter surplus. "The National D a l r y

Council wants to lower the price of butter to the consumer but they want the farmer to take the loss," he said. "If you take away the 58c floor price, you won't be long with a surplus on your hands because there won't be en- ough farmers In the business to produce a surplus," he concluded.

RESOLUTIONS

A resolution dealing with "The Uniformity Of Time" act urged the Government to clarify its posi- tion in regard to this matter. The discussion which followed the in- troductlon of this resolution reveal- ed that although daylight time was not generally favored among the farmers it would be the lesser of two evils, namely having one time in the urban areas and another in the country.

A resolution urging the Govern- ment to place legislation on the statute books governing the move- ment of cattle on the hoof over the highway was posed. It was pointed

tion last year voted 14-3 to adjust ce:tain tariffs and lI1CIB8SE import quotas from other countries

Mr. Hayward also told the R0 tary gathering of his attendance at a joint meeting in Washington of the directors of the Canadian and United States Chambers of Commerce and of the great im- portance of the business discussed at the meetings. matters of mutual interest and importance 'to both countries. He said the directors also met briefly with President Eisen- hower and enjoyed a. tour of Washington, D.C. The first meet- ing of the two chambers was held last year in Montreal. -

Mr. John Mungall. also on the directorate of the Provincial Board of Trade, was a. guest of Rotary, presided over by the president, J.

A.Y.P.A. Meeting At Summerside

-The regular weekly meeting of the St. Mary's Anglican Young People's Association was held in the church hall on Monday evening.

The president opened the meet- mg with a hymn and the Associ- ation prayers. The business meet- lng which followed the minutes and roll call made final plans for the dressing of the church for the Christmas season.

Michael Bouley and Peter God- dard offered to build a frame to put up in front of the church on which fir boughs will be placed as a dressing for the church on Christmas. Members were reminded that the boughs will be tied to- gether at next week's meeting and will be put up in the church dur- ing the week of Decembe 19-24.

Lunch was served by,Marguerlte Lsnnox and Betty Lou Tredenick,

unanimous endorsement of the meeting. It was felt that the en- acting of such legislation would have a definite tenderioy to remove from the highway persons who were not financially responsible ior the operation of a motor vehicle.

In another resolution it was pro- posed that with the ever increas- ing raccoon population on the is- land and in view of the depra.rlat- ions caused by these animals, the

Farm implement service came in for some heated criticism. The dis- cussion which followed revealed that farmers were not getting the type of service to which they were entitled on new farm machinery and a resolution calling for an im- provement in this direction was directed to the various dealers throughout the province who were also asked to remain open on Wed- nesday afternoons and on satur-
