Weather Favors Early Seeding

With continuation of good weather, preparations for seeding in the Province should be complet- eti within the next few days, re- pflrlg Mr. W.R. Bhsw, Deputy Mtnisier of Agriculture, Dairy pro- duction is well ahead in volume compared to last year and fst cat- tie are bringing good prices.

The demand for swine has been exceptionally strong. An order for a carload of swine, 70 animals, will g0 through in a. few days to Mr. w D. Black, I-launilton, Ont, A ciirloed recently went through to Prinoo Albert, Ssala, and received favorable comment. The Rrovince of Quebec wants thirty Island registcrfd boars and the demand from other parts of Canada and United. States is greater than can be supplied.

To date Island chick hl-tcheries have distributed 550,000 chicks sis compared to last year's total oi

686.000. Chick distribution will vontlnue for another month. Only one reactor was found in

the bovine tuberculosis tests in Queen's County, out of approxim- ately 7'00 herds comprising 10,000 cattle, Mr. Shaw reports.

To date about $50,000 hss been paid out by the Dominion Prices Support Board for potatoes in Prince Edward Island. This amount is less than was anticipat- ed owing to the strengthening of the market. At. present table pota- toes die bringing $1.00 for 75 lbs. on the farm, and a small amount of scPd going to Canadian markets is bringing around 80 to 85 cents a bushel. Movement oi potatoes by boat is greater than last season. Altogether some 4.150.000 bushels of seed potatoes and about 2.800.000 bushels oi table stock have been shipped fi-oon the Province this season.

Conservative Meeting At Afton Hail

An interested and attentive sudi. ence at Afton Hall last night heard Mk. W.C.S. McLure and Wing Omdr, Angus MacLean, the Progressive Conservative candidates for Queen's in the forthcoming Federal election discuss the cur- rent political questions.

This meeting was one in a series now being held throughout the county. Meetings attended by con- siderable numbers of interested electors have already hem held at Eldon, French River. Hope River. Brsdslbarie, Kelly's Cross and ‘Mount Stewart. Further meetings will be held elsewhere.

MI. FEA. Currie, the chairman, called on Mr. RR. Bell, M.L.A. to introduce the candidates. This Mr. Bell did in his usual pleasing manner, pointing out Mr. McLure had proven his worth as the repre- sentatlve of this county in the last parliament. He was always ready and able to protect and ior- ward the interests oi P.E.I. at s.ll times in the House of Commons. "in the case of Mr. MMLQIII.” said Mr. Bell, "while he massed being elected in 1945 by 40 votee. he nevertheless had all inb qualifi- cations necessary for an excellent representative for Queen's County in parliament. Hig record of ser- vice in the R..C.A.1". was also out- standing."

Mr. MacLean. the first. speaker. reminded his audience of the in- creasing tendency for a greater and greater part oi our daily lives to be directly influenced by government. and the increasing importance of intelligent voting on election day. The electors had two choices. said Mr. Mac-Lean. They could on one hand re-olect the present gov- ernment, thereby giving them a stamp of approval. and the loss of private and political freedom, or on the other hand they could elect to power the Progressive Conservative Party under the leadership of George Drew, thereby giving it an opportunity to bring into practice its policy of freedom. opportunity and security. Mr. MeLure exposed the govern-i-nenfs high-handed tactics by its excessive use of ord- ers-in-councii, and the arbitrary assessment for income taxes which have been made against fsmiers. Mr MlcLure pointed out that the Progressive Conservative Party is pledged to tax relief, the continued payment of family allowances and the payment of old age pensions at the age of 65 without a. means test. After a. vote of thanks was tend- ered the chairman for the capable manner in which he carried out his duties. the meeting closed with the National Anthem.

Ch'Tovm Art Centre

In November of 1m the Char-i lotteiown (Prince Edward Island) Arts and Crafts Society liacl laid plan: for, and was about to organ- ize, the ariottetown Art Centre. With a limited amount of money and with two rooms in the town's market building as a location, there was some doubt that the project would take root.

Now, less than two years later, the Charlottetown Art Centre — first of its kind in Prince Edward Island — is providing a rapidly expanding program of art activities toi- both children and adults that could well serve as a model‘ for other and larger communities across the Dominion.

The enthusiasm it has stimulated and the reception it has received in this small city of 15,500 persons should prove beyond all doubt the need and value of such art centres to all those who are inclined to doubt the practicability of like ven- ,

urea.

Miss Johnston's Work

To Frances Johnston, formerly Hifiiiiflnt to Clare Blce at the Lon- don Art Museum, who was chosen to organize and direct the centre, goes much of the credit for its a1- most phenomenal success. There is little doubt that, under her en- thusiastic guidance, it will con- tinue to grow by leaps and bounds.

Operating on a budget of 53m ($2,500 from the Charlottetown Kinsmen! Club end $1,000 from City Council), which amount in-

er, lecturer, clerk and (sometimes) janitor as well as director.

The first year's program was de- voted mainly to children's activi- ties, and regular weekly classes were held after school for boys and girls from grades one to eight. In addition a Thursday morning class for pre-school children from three to six years was provided. Other activities included lectures to visiting school classes and a Sat- urday Open House for all those un- able to register in the regular classes. Here the children are allowed to take part in any activ- ity they choose, ranging from drawing to playing records and singing.

Mr. J1". Connolly, general man- ager of the Industrial Corporation under which the plant operates. has no doubt as to the demand for the 513,000 pounds of bait still in storage. It sells st about four cents a pound to the fishermen - one- half the price it cost them to ob- tain it in other years.

In July the plant will be busy handling strawberries and domes- tic meat in quantity. Last year they handled 100,000 lbs. of straw- berrias. This year, with a new com- pany handllng most of the berries in place of the Matthews-Walls Company, it is expected that the plant facilities will be utilized to at least the same extent.

In August blueberries are the big crop at the plant, where they are frozen and stored. Last year 125,- 000 pounds were handled. and if the berries do not get msggoty in the fields. it is expected to handle twice as many this year.

In October and November smcits are processed and frozen.

Marked Progress -

spoke with justifiable pride of the progress made to date.

"Our total tonnage last year." he explained. "was approximately 2,000,000 pounds, as against 800,- 000 pounds the year before. This year. I shouldn't be surprised if we handle around 4,000,000 pounds."

There is accommodation in the plant for storing sixty carloads of Goods. but no "locker space" is provided. It is for bulk storage only.

Last year nearly half s million pounds oi cheese was handled, but the business this year may be con- siderably greater. A new and more satisfactory cheese room is being provided in the basement, the in- stallation of which is now under

One novel idea that Miss John-, ston has carried out, and that so, far has been received erithusiasiicq ally. is the "Radio Art Class." In re- | sponse to a number of requests to provide children in rural districts with a program such as is carried; on at the art centre, arrangements were made with the local station to present a Saturday morning pro- gram.

This takes the form of art stor- lea and instructions in drawing and painting. Each child who joins the class receives a mem- bership card and a reproduction oft

for over three weeks during the herring season.

Some cheese has already come in for storage, and both cheese and butter will be handled in large quantities within s few days.

When the Government's New- foundland bost service goes into operation next week, shipments in storage at the plant can be taken dlrfictiy aboard. where there is re- frigeration space to the extent of 12.000 cubic feet.

MONTREAL, June 2 - Dona- tions by lndivduals pay over threa- qusrters oi Canada's nstonal chsr- lty bill. Corporations pay l3 per cent, estates 10 per cent. Total donations run to over $80,000,000 a year.

The national individual donation rate is 1.3 per cent of taxable in- come. In Ontario and the eastern provinces the rate is 1 per cent, rising to 2.21 per cent in Prince Edward Island. It falls west of Ontario, being lowest —— about half of one percent — in British Co- lumbia. ,

These figures highlight a report on "charitable donations in Canada presented this morning at the annual meeting of the Canadian Welfare Council by Stuart M. Phllpoti, chairman of the Coun- cil's Community Chests and Coun- cils Division. - The study was made for the council by Gordon and Svanhuit. Josie of Ottawa and is based on government reports of income tax and succession duty exemption claims.

Under the Income War Tax Act. charitable donations are broadly interpreted as being for “the bene- fit of the community" and under this definition donations to wel- fare, religious, and educational organizations are included in the Josie report.

“It. looks as if the little fellow pays the bill," Mr. Rhilpoti: com- mented as he revealed that in- dividuals with taxable zncomcs of less than $3.000 contribute almost 60 par cent of all individual dona- tlons—~over 45 per cent of the national charity bill;
