MR. POPE NOY

In the early morning of October 24th, 1948, a familiar figure of llazelbrook, Pope Noy, passed quiet- ly sway 1n his 66th year.

He was the only son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Noy and had lived all his life on the old home- stead at 1iazelbrook.

_The funeral was held from his late residence on Tuesday, October 26th at 2 o'clock. Service was con- ducted by Mr. Charles Stewartnof Halifax, s representative of the Watchtower society. frhe funeral discourse bssed on the Holy Dlhls, ciesrly showed the purpose of Jehovah, the Creator, in the estab- lishing of His long promised King- dom for the blessing of all obedient hisrnsn kind, and expressed the hope of the deceased in the prom- lle of s resurrection to s New World of Righteousness, wherein all men of goodwill will enjoy everlasting blessings on a Paradise earth with no sorrow, sickness or even death. Thus fulfilling sll sincere prayers. “Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth. as it is in heaven." A very large attendance showed the esteem in which he was held. Pallbearers were six cousins: Percy Noy, Bnrce Noy, Esrle Inge. Wil- lisn Ings. Samuel Drake and Albert Drake. Interment was in the fern- lly plot in Pownsl Cemetery.

Freight Traffic“ 0n Bar Ferry

1,575 carlosds of freight were ferried from ‘Ibrmeutlue to Borden last month as compared to 1,534 in November, 1947, a statement re- leased from the offices of the Sup- erintendent, Island Division, Can- adian National Railways, disclosed

yesterday. 0n the other hand. exports of loaded freight. cars leaving the

Province were 460 cars less. The figures are. 1,847 cars for Novem- ber, 1948 and 2.307 cars for Nov- ember, 1947.

Imports of coal took a. pronounc- ed jump, since 342 cars were brought over last month to 201 cars during Novccnber of lastycar. Fertilizer, sugar, and flour and feed all showed a decrease: Fertil- lzer, 29 cars last month compared to 81 for November, 1948; sugar, 1'1 to 19; and flour and feed, 128 to 173.

One odd figure ls that which shows, despite the fact. that 1948 probably produced the Island's greatest hey crop. that four cars of hay were imported for distribution west of Charlottetown. In Novem- ber, 1947, 15 cars of hay were 1m- ported.

Imports of cement showed s 100- pcr-ecnt increase, there being 14 cars brought over last month as girraared to seven for November of

The work on the Borden pier has resulted in the importation of 186 cars of foundation material consist- ing of stone, sand. and gravel last month. None of this material was brought over during November of last year.

The quantity of potatoes export,- ed in carioad lots last. month was Surprisingly high in view of the fears expressed that there would be s great shortage of cars and in View also of the fact that‘. potato digging was from two so three weeks later this season than for the fall of 1947. 1,329 cars of potatoes left. the Province on the car ferry last month as compared to 1,514 cars in November, 1947, o decrease 0f 185 cars for the month.

Turnips were down 47 cars-156 l0 203.

Eight cars of hay and straw and one car of oats left the Province last. month. No quantity of either of those commodities was exported in November, 1947.

Shipments of starch showed s. 50. per-cent, increase as six cars were exported last month compared to four in November of last year. Two cars of butter and cheese were ex- ported last month; them were no shipments for November of 1947. City buyers of Christmas trees must have secured their needs for this season nearer hcme since none were exported last month though nine cars were shipped tothemaln. land in November, 1947.

doubt, be wondering as to what plans are in the making regarding activities to be undertaken for our next Scout ‘- Guide Week.

At a meeting of the joint Pro- vincial Scout-Guide Committeeheld rgpensiy, a suggested program for the week was drawn up. ‘There is nothing definite or settled about the program as yet, and if any reader of this column has a. further or better suggestion to offer than those about to be outlined. the Committee would be pleased l0 hear from same.

As the Scout. Committee had met some time s50. and formulated most of their plans. we have tried to fall in line with their ideas. However, it is hoped that. before another Scout-Guide week rolls around the matter of holding Provincial Guid- er-Scouter get-togethers will be planned for early fall rather than in February when ihtrtrovelling ls not to be relied upon.

The program is tentative only. and Districts may make their own plans, but, it is hoped, will follow as much as possible the suggested one. which is:

Sunday - February 20th, All Scouts, Guides, Cubs and Brons- loe to attend service tn their ro-

spective churches.

Monday - February 21st, Troops and Companies to entertain parents and friends si. regular meetings.

Tuesday —- February 22nd, Found- er's Day, Scouts and Guides to have "rallies. Guide Rally will probably be in the form of sn In- ternational one and food parcels may be presented to be forwarded later to needy Guides Overseas.

Wedgiesdsy — February 23rd. Radio broadcast.

Thursday -- February 24th, Lone Scouts and Guides to tske over sctivltles for day, including radio broadcast.

Friday - February 25th. if s skate cannot be arranged for tho Cubs and Brownies on Tuesday. the 22nd, it will probably be held 0n Friday, after which refresh- ments will be served. It possible, a Scout and Guide Patrol Leaders‘ Banquet will be held in the aven-

ing.

Annual Meeting Johnston's River Junior Farmers

A review of projects started and Drones: made during the post six weeks was given Wednesday night by retiring president Jos- eph Beagan, at the annual mett- ing of the recently orsunised Jun- tor Farmer's Federation group in Johnston's River. Guest speaker at the meeting was Athol Mac- @na.ld-, Mermaid. who gave an enlishwblus address on methods of organization 1n other centres. The following officers were elected: President, Alvin Beegen; vice-president, Lloyd Horton; the secretary Catherine NlhliDoniuld woe re-elected. In addition to these; John D. MacDonald and Walter White were elected as dir- ectors.

Reviews Progress

In reviewing the progress made by the group, Mr. Beegan, the past-president. pointed out that although organized at an inoppor- tune time of yesr, the sbcadily growing membership list has reached twenty-six, and much hes been dons toward the building of a large, modern community cen- tre, which would include bowling alieys, and facilities .for playing basketball as well as other fomss of recreation.

Mr. MacDonald remarked that many of the problems facing this new branch, were similar to those which had previously plagued his fellow members of the Hillsboro group. He gave an interesting talk on methods used by his group to solve their problems. ss well as much appreciated edvilce on haw to organize and attract new mem- bers.

with an eye to the future. Ad- rian Van Doom suggested that the group practice a play for next surrmer, and that a little enter- tainment. be provided at each meeting, which might tend to re- lieve the shortage of lady mem- bers.

Confidence in the leadership of their new president for whbm ev- ery member voted, by secret bal- lot, was expressed by the entire group.

Marshfieiti W. I. Celebrates Anniversary

Members of the Marshfleld Women's Institute observed the 35th anniversary of their founding when they enjoyed an informal dinner Thursday night tn the Queen Hotel. Present as guests were the husbands of the Institute members, a number of charter members of the organization who have since moved to other parts of the prov- ince, and several other invited guests.

The occasion had on added significance in that the Marsh- field Institute was the first. in the province to be organized under the Departzneni. of Agriculture- An- other Institute in York hs_d funct- ioned previously but, did not come under the Department cf Agricult- ure until later, ll; was explained at Use anniversary dinner.

The dinner meeting was presided over by the president. Mrs. W. R.

Godfrey, and it was pleasing to have also at the head table the first President of the Institute,

Mrs. L.H.D. Foster. Other charter members of the Institute seated at the head table included Mrs. John Mums, Sr., and Mrs. JJ-I. Crosby.

Mrs. Crosby presented a short history of the Institute. She recall- ed that it had been organized on Aipfll 1, 1013 and that their first major project had been working for the boys who had gone to fight in the First World War. Knitting ii-lld sewing had been done with qnaterlal purchased from the prd- ceetls of teas, suppers, etc.. and they felt that they had a share in the victory because of the work they had been able to do.

In 1921 they were instrumensal 1n having medical inspection in the school. They observed their thir- teenth birthday in 192G and in 1927 they officially observed an- other anniversary with a sell up the West River.

War came again 1n 1939. s longer and more severe war than the first recalled the historian who observed that although we have not yet won the peace we still hope for s better understanding among nations and for sn end to the jealousy and greed that causes un- rest and strife.

She was proud to report that the Institute today has the biggest membership in its history and that it has embraced hundreds of local institutes tl-lroughout the province.

currency difficulties."

He said one of the difficulties in Anglo-Canadian dealings was that the Economic Recovery Program regulations prevented Canadian surpluses, such as bee-us and fish, being sold to Britain.

Another difficulty he cited was absence of o plan for exohsnge of British cars or steel products for Canadians food although Britain gives Russia tinplatte for fish.

Gardiner said if the dollar situ- stlon had not intervened, Canada would have been sble to send Brit- ain in 1949 more than 300000.000 pounds of bscon,,nesriy 200,000,000 poupds of beef. 80.000900 dozen eggs, scversl hundred thousand barrels of apples, thousands of bushels of beans and ss much ism as Britain could have afforded.

M1‘. James Power and s. group of entertainers from Charlotte- town paid an annual vlslt to the St. Vincent Orphanage last night, bringing entertainment and a treat of candy and fruit to the children. The previous night part of the group went to the Protestant Orphanage at Mt. Herbert with entertainment and a treat.

Included in the performers at St. Vincent's last night were. Miss Maureen Brown, Charlie Chamber- lain, Miss May Howatt, I-Iughlc Trainer. Miss Joan McCallum, Leith Sweeney, Andrew Gallant, Mrs. Doyle, Miss E. Roberts and Jimmy Power. the latter acting as master of ceremonies, in sd-' ditlon to singing. Albert Blanchard was the accompanist.

At the Mt. Herbert Orphanage the group included Charlie Chamb- erlain, Leith Sweeney. Hughie Trainer and Mrs. Doyle, headed by Mr. Power.

The treats were supplied through the kindness of S. 'I‘. Green, J. C. Montgomery, Michael Bros and Jimmy Power.

At both orphanages the staff ex- pressed warm thanks to the group for both the entertainment and the treat.

FARM MARKET

(Continued from Page f)

made on outstanding job of poul- try production in the past. few years, to maintain their produc- tion to a reasonable extent ir. conformity with present levels. making such adjustments in their economy and production, as con- ditions would seem to dictate, and further to not swing too decisive- ly one way or the other with re- ference to egg and poultry meat production,“ Mr. Shaw states. “With our production involved in ordinary sized farm flocks, we cannot go far astray by adhering to present maintainance levels."

Agricultural Prices

A general picture on all agricul- tural prices would seem to indic- ate that. they will remain for the next year at the 1948 level and perhaps decline slightly toward the end of the year. Prices paid by farmers will possibly increase over the 1948 level. During the first half of the year hog prices are expected to be firm with prices of other livestock as good if not better than last year. Marketlngs are expected to be slightly less and declines in all classes of meat animals are anticipated. The gen- eral livestock position, however, is good. Domestic demand for dairy products is likely to remain high with milk production approximat- ing the 1948 estimate of 16".» billion pounds. Egg production is expected to decline somewhat.

Livestock

Returning now to me more im- medlate problem of markets in -our own Province, livestock prices seem to have strengthened.

Montreal prices on cattle are somewhat lower Wllh medium steers 18-210; heifers 18-20c; cows medium 13-1550, with tops rang- ing up to 18'. bulls 17-19; vea‘. calves steady at 14c; good ewe lambs 25c; sheep 5-10. Hogs. grade “A" 31.50.

Maritime markets show hogs aip at both Moncton and Charlotte- town 25 with all other livestock prices steady with last week.

Monoton-Grade "A's" 31.25; "B's" 30.85; N0. 1 sows 25; No. 2b 24, hot dressed weight. delivered.

Charlottetown Grade “A's" 30.25; “B‘s" 29.85. No. 1 sows 23.80; No. 2's 22.80 f.o.b. country points.

Choice steers and heifers brought $18 with good and medium rang- ing down to i8. Plain and com- mon datry steers down to 10c. Best cows brought l4 ranging down to 12 for common and 11 for can- ners. Bulls 12-14: choice veal 18: lambs dressed 43 delivered. The tendency seems to be strong and indicates the favourable position of livestock right across the coun- try.

llggs and Poultry

Poultry prices are at a. favour- able level. Dealers and retallers 100k for lower sales beyond the Christmas season. However, the market at present is keen and materials are being readily ob- sorbed. It is reported that. retali- ers are asking 75c per pound for undrawn turkeys. Dealers are of- fering for dressed turkeys under 18 pounds grade "A" 58-60. Tur- keys, however, are being purch- ased for 62-68 with a. good many at 65c. Grade "B's" are 56; over 18 lbs. grade "A" range from 56- 58; "B's" 54; old hen turkeys grade "A" 50; “B's" 48; old toms 4c under. Ducks are selling for grade "A" 38; "B's" 38. Gee . all weights, "A's" 42; “B‘s" These prices on geese, however, are hardly consistent with the market. situation. Geese ore ex- ceedingly scarce and higher prices than these quoted have been of- fered the producer. Chicks 5 lbs. and over, special 50c; milkfed “A" 49; "B's" 46-; "C's" 25; under 5 lbs. 2-3c less per pound. Cspons 8 lbs. and up 4c above chicken prices. Fbwl over 5 lbs.. "Special" 39; "A's" 84; "B's" 32. Dealers are quoting for live poultry chick- en over ti ibe. "A" 38; 5-6 lbs. 372 fowl 514 lbs. and up grade "A“ 2ft. shipments, however. which left yesterday for American points brought for capons live a top price of 43c for 8 lbs. and over, a top price for chickens of 40c and for fowl 30c. These are excellent figures for poultry and indicate the keonness of the market. Egg production has held steady during the pest week but receipts are lower by 5% than for the same period last. year. The market ap-
