Purpose of the Ballot

Following is the outline of the issue which was forwarded to the farmers in each school district and read and discussed at the local meetings, most of which were held on February 28th.

"The purpose of this ballot vote is to find out whether or not the producers of potatoes, poultry and eggs in Prince Edward Island are in favor of establishing market- ing boards based on existing Do- minion and Provincial legislation.

“The personnel of the proposed boards would be: three bone fide producers appointed by the farm- ers. one representative from the private dealers and one represen- tative from the co—operItives.

“Such Boards would have ‘lo be approved by the Government and I ‘special plan or scheme’ drawn up to regulate the marketing of the product concerned.

“The general principle: of the plan or scheme would give such Boards Iuthority to: (I) Issue Ind cancel licenses to dealers. (b) Fix minimum or in some cases maxi- mum prices. (c) Regulate ship- ments for certain markets to pre- vent flooding. etc. (d) Keep deal- ers and producers informed of prices and market trends. (e) Al- lot. marketing quotas to dealers or growers. if necessary. (0 Act Is I central marketing agency in emergencies for disposing of sur- pluses and thus comply with the objectives of the Federal Prices Support Act. (g) Hainiain uni- form price levels Ind Is for Is possible eliminate price-cutting and excess speculation by co-op- erating with similar boards which

will be set up in other Provinces.“

One of the largest crowds of the season gathered at the P. W. C.

auditorium on Wednesday night where they witnessed I smart juvenile hoop clash between the Y.M.C.A. Capitals of Ottawa and an All Star Y team from the City in an exhibition contest. The vis- iting team took the game by I liberal 84-592 count, but not with- out I tough struggle that saw the locals turn in I smart srfor:n- ance in the first half of the game, although trailing by a 43-32 count at the end cf that time. after holding a slight point edge at the quarter mark. It was the final ha-if that was the big deciding factor, when the Ottawa cagemen came up with I very impressive performance to outpoint the local Y boys by a 41-20 count. 0 O I 0

It was strictly a battle of two different styles of play, the locals uszng a short-passing, dribbling game as compared to I wide-cpen. long-passing mode of play used effectively by the visitors. which proved to their advantage ln,the end. Although the All Stars play- ed I close checking game, the long, looping passes of the opposit- ion caught them fiatfooted on many occasions that netted them

easy baskets. 0

Led by fast. tricky dribbling by Howard Glover, the locals worked their way into the opposing de- fensive zone time and time again, only to have the opposition pull some smart defensive tactics to re- gain possession of the ball. Ind with floor-lcngth passing. break free for fast scoring attacks that never gave the opposition I. chance to get back in time to protect their own basket. .

Despite the fact that the local if lost out by I 32-point, margin, they held their share of the territory play, and in the second half in particular. it was B. combination of tough luck, erratic shooting and smart defensive play on the part of the opposition, that failed many good scoring opportunities close in on the Ottawa basket.

One of the outstanding features of the game, was the sportsman- like way that both teams. par- ticularly the. visitors, took the de- cisions handed c-ut by the referees without I murmur or complaint

Not that either team had much to complain about, Is the two presiding officials, Earl Nicholson and Jack MacAndrevI. made an ex- cellent and efficient job of handling the same and were the receivers of many complimentary remarks from the members and management of the visiting team for their fair and capable officiat- lng.

Looking at the boys‘ Iveraiges for the season, we note some interest- ing things. The slickers bowled 4174. Their yearly averages tell us they should have bowled 4028. Thus they were slightly above form. The West Enders bowled 3936. Statis- tics maintain they should have bowled 4048. They were somewhat below form. If you put I bowier's playdown bowling over his yearly bowling you get what might be called his "pressure quotient." You get In ides whether he is I clutch bowler or not, whether he bowls better or worse when the chips are down. of course. taking only one play-off night's results wouldn't be very accurate, but if you took I player's results over I stretch of years in playdowns, and in regu- lar season play. it is just possible you might arrive at I fairly accur- ate picture of how the player bowls when the pressure is on. and he is more or less tense with the excitement of the big moment. Keith champion of the slicker: iezl in this department Wednesday night getting 134 pins more than he could be expected to get according to his average. The Curran and Briggs team, if they use their flvo highest bowlers have In expect- ancy aggregate of $092. So unless these bowlers get I lot of butter. flies in their tummles when the stakes are high, they should win the title. , 0 Of course there are otiier things to be considered. we confess. Tnkc us, for example. we bowl I beau- tiful ball right dorm the centre of the alley. What happens? We get the fore pin. Then what happens? We bowl another beautiful ball right down the centre of the alley. Then we look around to see if there are any ladies present. There Irc. so we cuss under our breath. and try I curve.

Then. without apparent bitter- ness. Kenny packed his bags and headed for his home in Milwaukee. wondering what he'll do now. He‘: never been anything but I bail player.

Keltner got his unconditional re- lease from manager Lou Boudreau. his pal Incl team-mate for 11 of those years. Lou. announcing that rookie Al Rosen will take over for Ken on opening day, called springing the news to Keltner “one of the toughest Jobs I ever he ." Almost to the end. Boudreau was loyally insisting that the 83- ycar-old Keltner was his No. 1 third baseman. Today he admitted he was playing regularly in the hope that general manager Greenberg would be convinced. This didn't work. After yester- day‘: game against the Giants in Wichita. Greenberg and Boudreau huddled. Keltner, they decided. must go.

"His legs are gone, his wrist: seem to have lost their snap, too." Idimitted Lou. "He hasn't. been able to get any extra-‘base hits this spring. Rosen has youth and we have Bob Kennedy ready to step in should Rosen fail to find his batting power."

Keltner came to the Indians in 1937 from Milwaukee Brewers. In his first full season, ,l938. he swa d .276 and 28 home runs. The to owing year he hit .35. But. his biggest year from the standpoint of value came in will when he clouted 31 homer: and batted .297. supplying I big portion of the punch that won the Indians the pennant and the world series. Then last season he‘ dropped to .32.

Right wing Gerry Couture whipped a shot just in. side the post from 12-foot rlngo after I rink wide pass from Marty Psvelich put him in the clear. Pavelich got his pass out from the boards where he was jammed by several Rangers.

Burly Pat Egan got back the second period goal in I power play which started when Detroit’: Sid Abel was off for hooking Don Raleigh. Abel was back on the ice for only 11 second: when Egan let loose with I screaming- screened shot from I foot. inside the blue line and along the boards.

Laprsde got his first goal early in the third period. Allen Stanley fired I fast one from the blue line which barely left the ice and LI- prade steared it into the corner past an astonished Harry Lumloy who appeared to have it. covered.
