"I am strongly in favour of sending I resolution to Ottawa but suggest that we do like the Prov- ince of New Brunswick....send 50 or 100 farm representatives along with it." said Mr. Ramsay.

Mr. Rossiter said he had iust shipped a carload of potatoes to Long Island. New York on which he paid 8765 freight and 8193 duty. He said there would be no need to ship to this market if the Ont- ario and Quebec markets were protected.

Mr. Rossiter said it was not so much the amount of potatoes that were coming from Maine that counted so much as the fact that the gate was open and constituted a continuous threat. "There is no doubt in my mind that ii a 3796 cert tariff were imposed on Am- erican potatoes. our price would go up by that amount over night," he said.

"I note that Mr. Harris has been very concerned about the tax on soft drinks. it is a wonder to me he would not be concerned about potato tariffs" Mr. Rossiter said. Mr. C.C. Baker said the Island was not the only province being af- fected adversely by the tariff ar- sangemeni. He recalled talking with agriculture ministers from all across Canada who had the same complaint. Mr. Baker agreed with Mr. Rosslter that too much effort was made to protect such things as ih soft drink industry while uvcl'I0O ng one of the main Canadian crops.

Mr. Baker felt the protection of the Central Canadian markets was of primary importance to Mari- time potato growers. He expressed the opinion that the only effective resolution to Ottawa should come from the floor of the Provincial Assembly.

POTATO FLOOR PRICE

Harvey Douglas. Liberal Second Kings had strong support from both sides of the House in his sug- gestion that negotiations be started regardins a one dollar floor price per bushel for small potato grow- ers of five acres or less or on the 13351! of 8 1.500 bushel crop.

Mr. Douglas noted that his sug- gestion was not contained in the report of the agriculture committee report. He said the committee was not unanimous on this matter but felt it was important enough to bring before the House I second time.

Mr. Douglas felt that something had to be done to give the Island potato farmer some form of secu- rity. He said when potatoes were I S0001 Price everybody was happy. On the other hand when potatoes were a poor price a large number of farms are seen for sale. "You can't blame people for moving away when they can't make k money to meet expenses." he said.

Mr. Douglas also made an appeal on behalf of the young man be. Shining his career as I farmer. "Practically every other occupai. ion or profession has some idea 03 Whit they Ire going to get for their year's work. but the potato farmer does not know whether he Il ROI!!! to have money in his Pocket or be in debt for his year's labour."

R.R. Bell thought Ml'- Douglui Idea was a very good one. He said if Mr. Douglas cared to bring in an amendment to the agriculture committee report. he would be glad to second it. "It is not an im- mediate demand and I cannot see that it is an unreasonable re- quest. - .1 2-3 cents I pound where can you get food value at that money." he asked. UNFORTUNATE POSITION

Hon. Mr. Cullen said it was un- fortunate that he should find him- self in the position of having to disagree with the committee or agree with them and sign some- thing which he knew would be im- possible to get.

He recalled spending two days in Ottawa with the potato board when it was found that the best they could get in the way of support price was 44 cents per bushel. "I could not put my name to any- thing that would lead people to be- lieve we could get 31.00 I bushel. I do not think the committee made a detailed enough study of the matter to make a recommendation of this kind." said Mr. Cullen.

Mr. Douglas: "Would it be any different to guarantee the farmers 51,500 a year than to guarantee a school teacher a year?"

Mr. Cullen: "Does the member know what it cost to pay 44 cents I bushel to Island growersu. .about two million dollars in regard to western wheat growers there is a misconception that the Federal Government is paying them I lub- sldy. This is not so. The Federal Government has not paid them one : "How would you control this matter of acreage etc.?"

Mr. Douglas: "You have I mar- keting board and the seed inspect- ors would havega record of acre- ages on the Island."

EGG GRADING STATIONS

Hon. Dougald Macxinnon took exception to the recommendation that fewer egg grading stations be established in the Province. He said. "There is no product that is more susceptible to deteriora- tion as an egg. that is until you get it into proper storage."

He said the smaller grading sta- tion played an important role in the community in that It gave people the opportunity of getting their product to market more often and thus eliminate I waiting per- iod to take them to the further away centre.

Mr. Cullen said there some cases where the local egg grad- lng station performed I useful function but pointed out that in such cases it took longer to as- semble I load. He said there was a move to discourage the grading station operated in conjunction with the grocery store. because there was I tendency for the mer- chant to give I higher grade in order to attract business. EVISCERATING PLANT

In regard to the recommenda- tion for In cviscerating plant in the province. Mr. Cullen said he thought such I plant could be erect- ed in connection with I cold stor- age plant for about 825.000 If one had to be ted from scratch. be estimated it would cost about

oo.ooo.

Mr. Culle observed that the trade was mandlng eviscerated products and said every 0301'! would be made to establish I plant before next season.

George Kltaon. Liberal Second Queens. asked the Departmant to kc under consideration the in- spection of meat for the Province. HI said there were I number of small butchers throughout the province who kept I clean place with walk-in refrigeration.

These butchers. he said. were chuxved the hide, heart and liver or e dollars for each animal slaughtered in Charlottetown. He said some butchers killed as nun! us as week which

CATHOLIC WOMEN'S LEAGUE

Stating their opinion that the importance of education is strik- ing home "and people are almost ready to pay the price it demands", the second brief of the morn- ing was piesented before the Committee by the Catholic Wo- men's League and read by Mrs. Basil MacDonald. Tracadie Cross.

The brief noted that the times have changed more rapidly than our educational faculties and the increased opportunities of our day call for more education on the part of people who must earn I living.

Accompanying Mrs. MacDonald

were Mrs. B.J. DesRocbes. presi- dent of the C.W.L.. Mrs. Lorne Noonan. Mrs. Joseph MacDonald. Mrs. Arthur Cain and Mrs. R-L. Burge. "embers of the League delega- tion snid the opinions voiced were not only those ofg the executive but of the membership in general as they had requested recommen- dations from every sub-division.

They felt in agreement that suc- cessful completion of Grade 12 be required as soon as feasible of all who would enter the teaching pro- fession. "C ndldates themselves should be taught to appreciate the dignity of their work”. -

The brief also expressed dissatis- faction with the present system of collecting school taxes and suggested that perhaps some sys- tem of taxation "according to in- come" could be devised by those competent in this field. "We con- tend that the people of our Pro- vince would be willing to pay more towards education if I fair distri- bution of the tax burden could be devised" the brief stated. and assured the Committee that the organization would lend its every resource to the implementation of any program devised to this end.

TRANSITION STAGE

"We are in agreement with those who favor the larger unit of ad- ministration. We dread the transi- tion stage of its implementation. The possibilities for good which this change could bring about are enormous. The friction which its implementation could cause is not to be reckoned lightly. Careful study of the situation in each area. together with I clearly de- fined program of procedure could go I long way to obviate the greatest difficulties."

The brief felt the present system of engaging teachers is haphazard and improper placing of teachers in schools the cause of harm to both teacher and pupils. It suggest- ed that in districts where there are problems of discipline the De- partment should do all in its power to place teachers of experience- thosc who have already "won their spurs."

It concluded by telling the Com- mlttee to "train more teachers than we need, provide the incent- ive for them to remain at their posts. and competition will likely result in our having only the best."

SCHOOL OI-'FICIAIs' BRIEF The third brief of the morning was presented by Mr. Gordon Rice on behalf of the School Superin- tendents and Inspectors. With him were Messrs. DJ. MacArthur. Cornwall. and H.J. Rynea. Mon-

In Ottawa, there were brief com--

ments from spokesmen for major political parties Thursday after I hasty reading of the 200-page com- mission report.

Donald Fleming. Progressive conservative r member for T o r onto Eglinton and his party's specialist on broadcasting. add that "the extent to which the report recommends I departure from the government's policy of local monopoly in TV in adult- lng is to be welcomed."

"It is a complete vindication of the fight that the Progressive Con- servatives have waged for years against this intolerable form of monopoly," he added.

,StanIey Knowles. CCF whip, said his party is glad to note that con- tinued public controi of broadcast- ing has been recommended.

Social Credit Leader Solon Low expressed I measure of satisfac-

slstant or "helping teacher" they could provide greater assistance to the young teacher in the small schools and spend more time aid- ing their work. Besides helping in- experienced teachers this would also relieve supervisors of much of their class room work and per- mit more concentration on prob- lems of administration and the stimulation of professional growth in the teachers.

They concurred with previous delegations in appreciating the value of larger units and pointed to the many advantages such units could offer districts and pupils. They also felt that if the salary differences were greater there would be more incentive to teach- ers to improve their standing. The brief stated inspectors have not- iced that the avcrage work done in the larger schools is far super- ior to that of the one and two room schools.

The belief was also expressed that this was an argument in favor of taking pupils of Grades it and 10 from the small schools and thus

t” the teachers to give younger pupils a more solid Acad- emic foundation. They also thought establishment of n trustees" or- ganization hcre as is done in other provinces would be a great asset.

Final brief of the day was pre- sented on behalf of the St. Dun- Itan'a Alumni Association by Dr. J.A. McMillan and appears else- where In today's Guardian.

HOUSE ADJOURNMENT

On its conclusion Premier Mathe- son asked Dr. McMillan if he felt the Committee could make I re- port in the time left during the life of the present session of the Legislature and on receiving I negative answer told the speaker that he had been drafting an am- endment to the Act which would permit adjournment of the House from the present 30 days to 150 days and intended to present this in the Legislature in the afternoon.

The extra public hearing of the

Committee to be held Monday night In the Legislative Chamber is expected to lie the final one be- fore members begin drafting their report to the Legislature. Because of heavy legislative duties the Committee stated it would not be able to visit the western part of the Province as I group but that individual members would be vis- iting smail schools. It had been ex- pected that they would travel to Tignish today. but Mr. F.A. Large. chairman. said it was found to be impossible.
