l-'armers' committee continued from page 1

"the farmers were minding their own business." He spoke briefly on the matter of Government sub- sldics and stated that there was I. definite misunderstanding here by the public.

To prove his point Mr. Grant stated that recently I. headline in aiNcw Brunswick pape; said that the Government has paid 810 ,mil- lion in meat subsidies which he said intimated that the consuming public was really paying heavily for the meat it bought. How- ever. he said. that amount of money had been spent by the Government over a period of sev- eral years while in the same time there had been subsidies many times that amount paid annually to the gold mining industry.

Mr. Grant said that the true picture of subsidies should be pre- sented in the Press from both the consumers and producers point of view.

He said in New Brunswick they were impressed by the work being done by the local Federation and had frequently been helped by Mr. Charles Yeo, president. anu Mr. Lincoln Dewar, secretary. What is being done here, he main- tained, illustrates the necessity of having a full-time man on the Job to watch things for the farmers. He stated that. here we have a strong county organization. a,strong Provincial organization, and if the same status could be established all over Canada the farmers could have an equally strong National organization.

I Marketing Situation

Mr. Donald A. MacDonald stated that so far the marketing situa- tion has been very good and that the early crop marketed in August had brought excellent returns. He was questioned as to the floor price placed on seed potatoes and said that the great majority of the Katahdin variety was grown in King's County and had not been included.

He stated that some people

been shipped and that by the end of this month almost one third of the Island crop will have been sent to mu-ket. "Nova: before have we been so far along in our shipping at this stage."

He reminded the farmers that last week there had been I. weak- ening in the price of tublutock potatoes. but attributed it to the fact that heavy shipments have now been made to "every town and hamlet in Ontario and Quebec."

He suggested feeding the mar- ket: gradually over the next. three or four months and added that since August about ts,ooo,ooo ind been bro ht here by the crop and that his clearly indicated the impact potatoes had on the scan- omy of the Province. And while this amount had already come in we still had- approximately two- thlrds of the crop to move.

Tablutock Price

A delegate nixed mm why no floor price was set on tcblutock as many farmers grow only that and did not enter into the seed field. Mr. MacDonald stated that it had been felt by i the Potato Marketing Board that the danger from heavy frost had to be con- sidered in the matter of table- stock as there were many grow- ers with no frost protection. If they had not been able to market their potatoes the crop might have been spoiled.

The speaker, as chairman of the Board, said that he had heard that some Island potatoes had been sold in the Southern Unltnd stem at lower prices than from any other producing area. He said the practice could not be permitted as the Board price must be main- tained. Dealers who cold potatoes at 30 or 40 cents lower put other dealers in a poor position. '

He.asked specifically that all farmers knowing of dealers offer- ing less than Board minimum prices notify the Board which would take prompt action.

Killing Plant Discussed

What might have developed into a free-for-all was the question of the establishment by the farmers

thought the seed price had been established at too high a level but that the marketing situation had justified the action of the Board. Mr. MacDonald told the group that so far approximately 3,000 car- loads of potatoes have already

EDITH cum MacKINN'0N

'A very large funeral was held on November 10th and a large funeral cortege of her many neigh- bours, acquaintances and friends followed the remains of their young friend. Edith Clair Macxlnnon. whose death in a tragic accident on the highway in New Perth on November 8th, shocked the community for miles around.

The funeral was held from the home of her father. Herman Mac- Kinnon.- Milltown Cross. on Nov- ember 10th at 1.30 P. M. and from

there to the Sturgeon Baptist Church where the funeral service was conducted by her pastor,

Rev. W. A. Paterson.

She had attended the Communic- ant class held in the church at Milltown Cross, prior to her taking employment in the Kings County Memorial Hospital. She was loved for her cheerful spirit and friciid- lines, and many many communi- ties were shocked at' the death of this young girl at. the age of 17.

She is survived by her father, Herman Macxinnon, and sisters,

Mrs. Edward Butler (Betty): Mr's'. Alexander Whiteway (Lillian): Jean and Barbara at home: also

brothers George, Neil and Earl at home. She was predeceased by her mother on February 10th. 1960; also by a sister. Sadie. on July 12th. 1939.

Hymns used in the funeral ser- vice were "The Lord's Is My Shep- herd" and "By Cool Siloamu Shady Hill". The pallbearers were Chester Moore. Elbert. Godsoc. Seymour O'Connor, Neil Bruce. Duncan Bruce and Claud Mathe-

son.

themselves of a killing plant. When the matter flrsi; arose Mr. Woodrow Wheatlcy. main propon- ent of the plan. asked only that the subject of Island trade be placed on the agenda of the an- nual meeting to be held in Jan- uary. This was agreed to and the discussion temporarily dropped. Later in the afternoon. however. it came to the fore again and heated arguments on the subject were held.

When it arose the second time Mr. Wheatley stated he felt that Canada Packers plant here could not kill animals for the general public. Later a resolution deal- ing wlth the rail grading of cat- tle was introduced and Mr. Wheat- ley aske if the resolutions were passed w ere the killing of the animals would be done. Another speaker from the floor suggested that the resolution would mean that all the busness of the farm- ers was being placed in the hands of the local packing firm. Taking part briefly in the argument were Mr. Frank Myers, M.L.A., and Mr. Rollie MacDonald.

Rural Eledtriflcauon

Late in the afternoon Mrs. Al- lison MacMillan. Fairview, arose: to state that in her opinion rural electrification was or could be the most important thing in keep- ing the Island young people in the Province.

Her statement touched off a long discussion and many arguments as to the advisability of sending deio- gatlons to Ottawa, to the Prov- incial Governmcnt. or to the Marx- timc Electric Company.

Mr. Rollie MacDonald said he firmly believed that the only solu- tion was to present to the Gov- ernment a petition signed by so many farmers. and backed by each with a contribution in cash, that the Government nor the company could ignore it. The contribution whether it would be 50 cents or 4 dollar would show thst the farm- ers meant. business. He also sug- gested thai: all Federal candidates be asked to pledge their support to the campaign for rural elec- trification.

The reuon for this. he stated. was thst he believed in the next Federal election no party whether they be C.C.F.. Liberal or Con- servative would have n. big cnou h majority and would need all t e support it. could' get. For that reason it might be possible that

the support of even the four mem- bers of this Province could be an important consideration.

Speaking briefly on the matter of the farm radio forum, Mr. Dewar said that there were twice as many

Levy On Potato Baum

Another nastier arising ms: in the proceedings and causing many present to enter the argument was the matter of potato dealers hov- lng collected the one cent levy from farmers and not turning it over to the Mn eting Board. in was stated that llowing the de- cision of the Supreme Court as- clarlng the levy illegal some deal- ers bad discontinued collecting it from the growers. '

Many of the farmers present asked if there was any way they could learn the names of the decl- ors who had collected the money and not turned it in. and if there were any way in which they could recover what they had paid.

Mr. Donald A. MacDonald, man- ager of the Potato Marketing Baud. stated flatly that if the sting wanted to make a formal motion to this effect the Board would publish the names of any dealer: who had not paid to the

He told the gathering of the Federation plan to provide its ” n with accident insurance and how the company of his plan- ned to do it. He said that to be operative it would have to be has- ed on an assumed support of 3,000 Federation members. However, it was later brought out that the wives of Federation members would also be eligible for the in- aurancc on. the payment of the premium which would be set at nly 65.00 per year for 81,000 of urance. To make the low, prem- ium possible the Federation would have to accept the responsibility of collecting the annual premium from its members.

Other members of the farmer's family would not be eligible un- less they were over is years of age and members of the Feder- atlon.

Resolutions

A number of resolutions were brought before the meeting and all were adopted unanimously de- spite the fact there was some crit- icism and discussion regarding a few.

The first recommended that Federation district secretaries and chairmen should work with mem- bers to form farm radio forum groups.
