st. _l'auI’s ' LayIan'a Association Meeting

The regular monthly meeting’ ot

St. Paul’: Laymen's A was held Tuesday evening in the Parish Hall with the president, Mr. T. D. DeBlois in the chair. Then was a lsirly large attend— snce. The Laymen of St. Mark‘: Anglican Church. Kensington. had been invited as guests, but due to road conditions were unable to make the trip. ‘ Guests at the meeting were Con- stables J. T. Davis and W. F. Johnston of the R.C.M.P. and Mr. Norman Tregunso of the Hall- lax Seed Co. ' A saxophone solo was given by Mr. Jack MacAndrew with Mr. Royston Muglord at the piano. A lively sing-song followed, led by Corporal Alex Green. accompanied by Roy Mugtord at the piano, Jack MacAndrew and his saxophone. and George Wood and his trum-

pet.

The Ladies of the Parish Guild, under their convenor. Mrs. George lves. were thanked by the pres- ident, for the very excellent meal they served.

The guest speaker, Mr. Walter R. Shaw, Deputy Minister oi! Agri- culture. was introduced by the chairman. who remarked on Mr. Shaw's great capabilities and wide knowledge in the field of agricul- ture. Mr. DeBlois also mention- ed the great honor Mr. Shaw had brought to Prince Edward Island in being selected to represent Canada in Agriculture at a Food Conference of thirty nations of the world at Sweden in June of this year.

Mr. Shaw gave a most informa- tive address on Agricultural Econ- omics in Canada, and dealt speci- fically with problems here on Prince Edward Island. He stated that sixty per cent of the people 0! Canada depended on Agricul- ture. and that it we did not have a healthy economic picture in the agricultural field, the whole ecoli- omics of the country would be badly effected. He went on to point out that during the years 1944-1949 there was a perlect bal- ance ol trade between agriculture and industry — the farmers were receiving good prices for their products and in turn were big purchaser: or customers of indus- try. However, said Mr. Shaw, that is not the case today, the boom is still on in industry. and the farmer on the other hand is receiving gradual lower prices for his products. Commercial feed prices are increasing, farm ma- chinery is it anything higher than last year. yet the farmer must market his pork products at a lower price than last year. like- wise eggs and poultry. and also all dairy products. if export mar- kets and contracts continue as they arc, Mr. Shaw went on. then the farmers of P.E.I. will have hundreds of thousands of dollars less revenue than last year from

pork and dairy products. and this will certainly be felt in every business and profession on this Island, because the farmer is the best spender of money that there

is.

Col. F. 1. Andrew thanked the speaker on behalf of all those present, and extended an invita- tion to him to come back and speak to us again after he returns from Europe.

The president announced that a Corporate Communion for all Lay- men would be held in St. Paul‘s Church, Sunday. April 16th, at 8.30 a.m. and urged all the Laymen lo make a special effort to attend.

Mr. Dcfllois gave notice that the next meeting, on May 2nd; would be the annual meeting of the As- sociation. He appointed a nom- inating committee of Messrs. H. E. Miller, chairman. G.‘ E. lves, and G. E. Procter, to bring in a slate of officers for the 1950-51 season at the next meeting.

The meeting closed with Bene- diction by the Rector. Rev. J. T. lbbolt.
