A motion re: mmendlng al schcnie of ll'.JllI.hly payments, made by farm laborers for the purpose of accumulating a pension fund re- ceived the endorsement of the meeting. The resolution. sponsoredl by Prince County, brought to light the fact that by such legislation a. farm laborer could look ioiward to his old age with some security whereas he now has none. A mot- ion urging the Federation to look into the possibility of having farml laborers come under the benefits of unemployment on a basis similar to that enjoyed by other employees was passed.

That a system of grading com- mercial clothing and footwear be instituted, was contained in a mo- tion which met with unanimous approval while one referring to financial responsibility of potato dealers was tabled. While it had been revealed that there are deal- ers operating in this Province who are not operating on a. sound fin- ancial basis and who have been is- suing checks for which there is not sufficient funds, Mr. D.A.

Resolutions calling for the dis- approval of the Government's im- portation of New zealand cheese and for the revision of the present trade agreement with every effort made to institute a reciprocal tar- iff rate on potatoes, without quotas btween Canada and the United States received the full support of the meeting. They also agreed un- animously on a motion asking that the Board of directors look into the possibility of obtaining cheaper power rates for the promotion and encouragement of small industries within the province.

Unanimous support was given to a resolution voicing objection to the importation of oleo-margarine or vegetable oils as a substitute for dairy products. other resolutions included those to the press and radio for publicity and courtesies extended to the Federation during the year.

POTATO BOARD FUTURE

Mr. Donald A. MacDonald said that at the present time. about half the Island crop has been mar- keted. "Market conditlons have given fair returns." he said. "per- haps not as high as expected but above average." He pointed out that there were several important factors that will decide the price the producer will receive between now and June. "On January 19. stocks on hand in the United States will be announced and this will largely determine the returns that can be expected.

MARKET PROSPECTS

Mr. MacDonald recalled that two yeare ago the amount of potatoes on hand in the United States was

113,000,000 bushels and at which time potatoes reached a record breaking price. "If th. quote shows an amount fan then this. we can expect the market to improve", he said. "if it is below the 113 million it will not be too encouraging", he added.

The Board chairman also noted that the Canadian stock is only-

ao.ooo.ooo bushels . . . a substan- tlal reduction . end in Maine where the Island encounters the etiffaet competitl s shrinkage

of nearly 40-NW5 is expected.

Mr. MacDonald noted that the quality of Island potatme is good and for this reason groves; can expect a premium price right down the line. sneaking on the Tariff situation between the United States and Canada. he said "this is very important and if some thing is not done to alleviate this situation within the next few months. conditions will not change for the next two years. and that is too long to wait." He noted that N years ago with the pram- tum on American money the eit- uatlon was not nearly so serious since the exchange pretty well looked after the duty on Canadian potatoes" but now the situation is reversed" he said.

He felt that through produce control. the producer would be able to receive a fall” return for his product. "This Province does not take, to new ideas" said the speaker who observed that in other provinces the scheme of cu- operatlve marketing was an ac- ceptcti principle, "so it SHALL be here" he said.

AFTERNOON SESSION

The afternoon session was giv- en to the reports of member com- mitleos which included that of the Fluid Milk Producers by Mr. Wallace Andrew of East Royalty; Women's Institutes by Mrs. Neil A.

Mr. Yeo. who is a past presi- dent of the Federation. express- ed eoncern over the decreasing membership in the organization. He explained the function of the County Federation which he said was a unit for assembling farm- ers for the discussion of their problems. At first it was thought that the school district unit was ideal but in practice it proved to be ineffective. Mr. Yeo said that there are always a number of peo- ple who are anxious to tear down

Pope Receives Mendes-France

VATICAN CITY. (AP) - Pope Pius received French Premier Mendes-France today in the first audience granted by the 78-year- old head of the Roman Catholic Church since his grave collapse last month.

The pontiff'a reception of the French premier. who is making a three-day state visit to Italy, was viewed as a heartening sign that the Pope is continuing to gain strength,

The Pope. still pale and showing signs of his physical trial received . the black-clad French premier for 20 minutes in his private library.

Mendes-France, who is not a Roman Catholic. bowed once as hev entered the room. Normal protocol calls for Roman Catholic visitors to kneel three times-once upon entering, once half way across the room and a third time to kiss the Pope's ring.

the, structure of the organization rather than devote their efforts to building it up. He stressed othe need for co-ordination of effort if success were to be achieved.

"We need a lyltem whereby farmers will want to become mem- bers of the Federation rather than one which requires coaxing to get memberahlp," said Mr. Yeo. He was never in favour of direct help from the government. but could see no harm in the government i-enumerating the Fed- erationo for any worthwhile pro- ject they might undertake.

Mr. Yea made reference to the persistent rumour that the Depart- ment of Agriculture was giving consideration to the placing of a representative in both Kings and Prince Counties. "If this is true." he said, "why would it not be possible for the Federation ito have a County agent who could work hand In hand with the De- partment official and look after the office while the representa- tive was away?"

Mr. Yeo urged the need, for more informative meetings where the feeling is good. "Such meet- ings,” he said. "would greatly in- crease the prestige of the Federa- tion among non-members." He felt that nothing could ever be accom- plished where, the ntmoephe - was one of contention.
