Gunners Hold Annual Dinner Al Queen Ilolel

Major D. F. Forbes. DSO, En, GSO 1, Headquarters Eastern Com. mB-fld. Halifax, last night comment- ed on the splendid relationship ex- lltlll-I between Anmy units and the general pufblic in this Province. He was speaking on behalf of Major- Generai H. W. Foster, C.B.E., D.S.O.. General Officer Ccmmanding, at the joint annual dinner of the 28 LAA Regiment. 12.0.5. and mem- bers of the Prince Edward Island Canadian Artillery Officers Associ- ation. The function was held at the Queen Hotel.

Col. Forbes saw two major prob- lems facing the reserve force today. The successful training of bfflcers and non-commissioned officers and the maintenance of that goodwill and respect the public held for the Army. l-Ie felt that the Artillery As- sociation was of the utmost bene- fit in respect to the latter prob- lerm.

Col. Forbes spoke of the major units in the Province and the sup- port they received. which. in com- parison, was much greater than units established in some larger centres.

The dinner was presided over by Lit-Col. G.G.K. Peake, D.S.O., E.D., 0,C. 28 LAA. Regiment. Following a, short address of wel- come by Col. Peake, the Hon. A. W. Matheson presented a silver piece to Lt-col. aw. MztcNevin, D.C.M., E.D., who was a. principal in s. re- cent happy event. Col. MacNevixi. President of the P.E.I. Artillery As- sociation, expressed his thanks in a few well chosen words.

Col. MacNcvln referred to the

death in the past year of Capt. W. A. Johnston, 80, Montague, who was a. keen "gunner" and as an officer greatly interested in the work of the Artillery Association. Mr. Harry A. MacDougali, speak- ing on behalf of tho veteran mem- bers of the Artillery Association, paid tribute to the late Major "Ham" Bethune.

Mr. MacDougail referred to his service under Major Bethune, then a. Lieutenant. in the 2nd Heavy Bat- tery, 1914. lie was loved and re- spected by all who served under him and was noted for his sports- manship and fair play. In civilian life he was a druggist known not only to the citizens of Charlotte- town but to the people throughout the Province. He was an excellent soldier and an exemplary citizen, Mr. MacDougall concluded.

Guests at the dinner included Brigadier W.\V, Reid, D.S.O., E.D., Capt. J. J. Connolly, V.D., R.C.N. (R) and the commanding officers and seconds-in-command of the various reserve units.

Grace was said by I-I-Cplpt. JR. Miller, Canadian Chaplain Corps. - Music during the dinner was fum- lshed by Messrs. A1 Blanchard and Alf McKcarney.

Messages were read by Col. Peake from Brig. REG. Roome. C.B.E.. C.R.A., Halifax, LIL-Col. D. A. Mac- Klnnon, l'>.S.O., and Major Frank Tierney and Elmer Ritchie who were unable to be present at the function.

3,000,000 Bu

Shipments of Prince Edward Island potatoes to date this year approximate four thousand earl. an amount slightly in excess of three million bushels, reports Lt. Col. C. C. Th_ , manager of the Potato Promotion Committee. Of this quantity approximately half were moved by water and half by rail. The Island seed quota in tho U. S, market of 2,- 500.00 bushels was reported as be- ing filled on November 28.

Information received yesterday indicated that one firm is arrang- ing for a larga cargo of seed to be shipped from Sourla, and that another boat will bo loaded at Charlottetown before navigation closes.

At present the market is slow, both in Canada and the United States, with Island shipments averaging from 40 to 60 oar; of potatoes daily, and from flva to ten curs of turnips. The outlook for any improvement until some. time early in January l; slim, This fall both Ontario and Que- bec have enjoyed an open season, which means that their large con- aumer centres such as Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton, Windsor, atc., are daily receiving largo auppll“ of local potatoes and consequent- ly are not looking to the Marl- times for supply. This situation will continue until road conditions make trucking difficult.

Supply of refrigerator cars is re. ported as satisfactory.

Turnip Shipments

Last year 1.100 can of turnips were shipped during the entire season. To date from this year's crop, considerably In excels of this number of ,cara have al- ready Ieft the Province, with several months remaining in which turnips may bs shipped. The market Is unchanged from last week's report.

While the turnip acreage this your is stated to be approxi- mfllflly the same as last, farmers are evidently diverting a larger percentage from stock feed to the market on account of the sat- Isfactory prices prevailing to date. A fair estimate of the turnips left for shipping would be In the vl- cinity of six or seven hundred cars.

On account of the serious In. featatlon of maggots this year, inspection must of necessity be severe. Growers are reminded that while there Is n tolerance on po- tatoes regarding disease, there is none on turnips. Every single bag in a car lot mun stand "on lta

Floor Price Proposed Col. Thompson referred to a press despntch in Thursday's Guardian, stating that in New Brunswick there is a strong agi- tation to approach Ottawa with the request that n potato floor price be instituted nt once. He said he was not prepared to lay what the feeling in this Province was without further information. "Lust year,“ he recalled, "mt- withstandlng that we had n quota arrangement with United States on both seed and table stock, over night we were de- prived of the privilege of ship- ping tnbie stock against this quota and in so far as seed was concerned. We were given certain specific dates telling us very de- finitely he what times we were permitted to ship certified seed lo various Stntes. "In addition, the

This worked fairly sutis- factorily but due to the shortage of refrigerated cars fewer potn- toes were shipped than would have been the ,cnsc had a plenti- ful supply of cars hcen available. For this year the car situation la much improved. We were not deprived from shipping table stock before the quota was filled and up to the present time no restrictions have been placed up- on us regarding the time that we must ship to seed consuming states nor are we requested to furnish proof that auch seed la to be used exclusively for accd purposes,

"Although a few years younger than ex-Chief Birtwistle, md not- withstanding the fact that he was the Chief of Police when I was ln my teens, nevertheless I feel from the many conversations I have had with him that I can speak with authority and say that 11c enjoyed his experience in Police work from the time he was a mere recruit: in the Cheshire constab- ulary in Chester, England, until his retirement from the R.
