Down Ten Cenis

The reaction oi the average per- son on learning that the Wheat Board has reduced Prices bl’ Rn .-ants a bushel will not likely be one oi concern. There will be those vim feel that the western iar- mer has had it pretty good ior a long time and will not suiier to any great extent.

However, ten cents less on every bushel or western wheat will mean lll total a very substantial decline on western purchasing power. This loos, or purchasing power will be leit in every comer oi the coun- try and by practically every work-

01.

Western wheat is the balance wheel or the whole Canadian econ- omy and if it is iorced to run on a list Lire then the whole machine u.I1 very soon be shot through with serious vibrations. Ii this reduc- lion should prove to be the lore- runner oi a general and greater <irCl'.lli'. in grain prices than we ior- see some real troublp ahead ior Cnnadian Citizens in general.

Beei from the top grades oi cat- tie is usually tastier tenderer‘and more attractive in appearance; yet nevertheless no more nourishing lllan the cuts which comes irom the lower grades oi’ animals. These rheaper cuts are good value for thriity housewives who have the know-how to prepare them proper- i_v. There is I. big iield here for mini-mative advertising and top lllght recipes ior pot roasts. stews, meal pies etc. which can be used

to get these cheaper cuts into play. None oi this need detract irom placing beiore the consumer the joys of eating a tasty well Ila- vored steak or roast that can never be at its best unless season- ed by the covering oi lat by a well-iinished bee! animal.

Dairy sroapects

The present season has ever)’ prospect for heavy production oi milk in this Province. Many iar- mers have an extra cow or two and pastures are excellent. All dairy plants are working to capacity and butter production has since the ilrst oi January been running well ahead oi last year's Iigures, a year which was a record.

The action oi the Price Support Board in oiiering its butter ior 55‘,~ic a. lb. has had the eiiect oi lowering the price for the current make above one month earlier than in previous years. This is the explanation ior the lower prices ior butter-iat in May. this year as compared with a year ago.

Without a. iloor price on butter, cream producers would in all like- lihood be receiving very much low- er prices, it met which most dairy Farmers can give some credit ior to their iarm organization.

There are signs to indicate that agriculture is approaching a. period of generally declining income. a decline which will be more serious unless the iarmer maintains and supports his organizations to a point where they can do eiiective work on his behali.

Cropping Operations

Although the weather in the early part oi May was cold, tilage opera- tions were unhampered by rain- iall and good progress was made in seeding. The past two weeks of broken weather has hampered pro- gram and there is still a large acreage oi grain to be sown and potatoes to be planted, Early grain is making excellent growth hay prospects are good and pasture much better than a year ago. In general prospects are excellent ior good crops oi iodder. It is too early to make predictions with respect to potatoes and roots.

Potato Board

The potato m‘arketing scheme makes provision ior insuring that there will be periodic changes in the personnel oi the potato board. Members are elected for a three- year period at the end oi that time they stand ior re-election or may be replaced with a new mem- ber. The death of Mr. Chester Shaw leaves a vacancy on the Board and beiore the end oi June. an election will be held in Kings County ior two producer members and in Prince County ior one deal- er member.

8 tatistics

Many iarmers have received a iorm upon which to report to the Bureau of Statistics intended plantings oi crops and livestock holdings. We suspect that a rather high percentage oi these iorms iind their way into the woodbox or repose‘ upon the kitchen shelf ior indeiinite periods. Statistics, 1! ac- curate are to deilnite value to Agriculture and the more iarmers reporting the greater the accur- acy. It does not require much time to complete“the iorms, a twofold purpose is served. Accurate infor- mation is made available and the

accumulation oi paper reduced in the iarm home.

Lovlngly Remembeui by Father. Mother. Brothers and sister.

The iollowlng article is the third in a series on the history oi St. Dunstan's Roman Catholic Parish:

Father Fitzgerald was succeeded by Father Bernard Donald Mac- Donald who built an extension to the c'nurch_ had it plastered, iin- ished it and furnished it with pews. At that time St. Dur.stan'a church occupied part oi the site now iilled by the Cathedral, but ironied on Great George Street. The trustees had purchased land irom a Mr. I-iurtell adjoining that on which the tiny chapel was built, and the chapel was moved from its original position and turned round so that it stood about on the site oi the sanctuary and sac- ristles oi the old wooden Cather- ral. The trustees oi the church during the pastorate oi Father Mc-

' Donald were Mr. John Galnsiord,

Mr. Dennle Reddin. Mr. James Kelly. Mr. Doyle, Mr. John Breen and Mr. Garrett Toole.

In 1835 the venerable Bishop Mc- Eachern died. esteemed and regret- ted by all dwellers in the colony. The iollowing year brought news

Morris, who was pastor oi St_ Dun- stan's irom the 20th oi June 1836 to the 20th 01' May 1038 when he leit Prince Edward Island. Fath- er Morris was succeeded by the Rev. Charles McDonnell. an Irish priest. shortly aiter Father Mc- Donnell‘s induction, he died sud. denly. and was replaced by his cousin. the Rev. Malachy Reynolds who had come out from Ireland to visit him. During Father Ray- nold’s pastorate measures were taken towards the erection oi a cathedral. The committee or trus- tees was reorganized and the ici- lowing members oi the congrega- tion were appointed as a committee to superintend the erection oi the new church, namely; Hon. Daniel Brenan, Mr. Dennis Reddin. Mr. Patrick Gaiiney, Mr. John Gains- iord, Mr. Edward Kickham, Mr. James Kelly.

Mr. Gainsiord. an English gent- leman with a natural talent ior architecture which study and iorelgn travel had greatly developed, was to draw the plans and sup- erintend the building oi the pro- jected Cathedral. In 1843 the lit- tle chapel oi St. Dunstan was moved back and the building oi the Cathedral was begun. The ioundation stone was laid by Bis- hop McDonald with all dtie cere- mony. the papers and coins oi’ the colony being duly deposited accord- ing to custom_ The Lieutenant Governor Sir Henry Vere Huntly and his wife were present. accom- panied by some or the chief dig- nitaries oi the city.

The building oi the Cathedral went steadily on. Mr. Roper oi Charlottetown was the iramer and Mr. Daniel Carroll the master car- penter. While it was in course oi erection, Father Reynolds retired irom Charlottetown and his place was iilled by the Rev. Thomas Phelan. In January 1848. Mass was oiiered ior the ilrat time in St. Duristan'a Cathedral. A gentle- man who was present on that oc- casion relates that the cold was ' ‘ . the church being neither lathed nor plastered.

It wu not iinished lnterlorly until some years later. The spire was built inside the tower. and raised with ropes. some persons who attended the iuneral oi Lieut- enant Govornor flir Donald Camp- bell in October 1030. tell that as they leit st. Paul's church in the vault of which the deceased gover- nor was burlsd. they saw the slen- der aplre slowly emerging irom the tall tower oi St. Dunstan‘s church. In 11.50 a subscription was taken up ior the purchase oi a clock which was placed in the tower oi st. Dunstan‘: and which ior many years was the only city clock pos- sessed by Charlottetown

Before the interior oi the church was completed a dliierence oi opin- ion arose between some members oi the committee oi trustees and

"The plan proposes to make the ceiling over the gallery sloping to the nave, tin the same manner as the ceiling oi the galleries must oi necessity be.» thereby cutting oli the intersecting arches over the galleries; making the iront part, next the nave, have a straight line, leiigthwise of it. This line would necessarily be at the base oi the braces on the pillars. sloping thence upwards to the wall plate and re- ducing the height in iront oi the galler_v_ eleven or twelve feet low- er than the original plan."
