flln submitting the annual re- .port of the Summerside Board of Trade at the annual meeting held last night at Summerside Res- taurant _oresidr:nt C. R. Mac- Laggan said that one of the duties of the president was to review the activities of the board at the end of the year and that while these activities are cover- ed in more detail in the indi- vidual reports iurnfslied by the various chairmen he felt that a brief review of the many pro- jects carried on would be of in- terest to the members.
Mr. MacLaggan said "the board in order to be a real asset and render efficient service to the community must have the support of all the citizens and business firms and in this con- nection our membership com- mittee has endeavored to main- tain and increase membership in the Board of Trade.” COMPLETE SURVEY
The industrial committee, he said, have again been active throughout the year. They have provided an industrial survey for the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council, this work having been recently completed.
At the same time a project was undertaken to provide a booklet containing up to date information on the Town of Summerside and outlying districts. Thiswork is stil lin progress and it is antici- pated that it will be ready for printing at an early date.

An important development in the industrial life of the ‘town was the building of a plant to eviscerate Island poultry which will mean much to Island poultry farmers. This.was found neces- sary due to the lack of demand for poultry not treated in this way and competition from the United States.

Trade, Economic Conference
LONDON (Reuters)—Common- wealth officials and experts will meet here next month to prepare for a full—scale trade and eco- nomic conference, informed sources said Wednesday.
The sources expect th confer- ence. at the level of finan e min- isters or other government rep- resentatives, to be held later this year, possibly in the fall.
But the dates and place of the talks have not yet been fixed, the sources added.
The Commonwealth finance ministers at their meeting at Mont Tremblant, Que., last Sep- tember and October decided to convene such a conference. CONVENIENT TIME
The finance ministers said the conference should be held at a “convenient: place and time” in 1958. .
They then agreed that the de- tailed preparatory work for the conference, including the drawing up of its agenda and other pro- cedural, matters, should be en- triisted to a committee of offic- la 5. '
The sources said that _some questions concerning the pro-- jected economic conference might come up for discussion with Prime Minister Macmillan during his current five-week Common- wealth tour.
The last Commonwealth prime ministers’ conference was held in London last July.

Mayor W. A. Currie, one of the head table guests congratulated the president on his fine leader- ship of the board during the past year and also expressed his con- gratulations to the board on its support of the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council. rie said that through the efforts of A. P. E. C. the time is coming when the four Atlantic Provinces can stand beside the other six provinces on an equal basis.
Mr. MacLaggan submitted his report of the year’s activities.
Mr. John S. Wright, past presi- dent of the board, in seconding the acceptance of the report said that the Summerside Board was most fortunate in having for its president during the past year a man with such vast experience in Board of Trade work and that it was pleasing to know that the board will have his services‘for another year.
GUEST SPEAKER
Guest speakers at the annual meeting were Dr. Frank Mac- Kinnon and Mr. J . Lincoln Dewar of Charlottetown both of whom spoke on the Atlantic Provinces ieconomic Council.
Dr. MacKinnon in his address said that A. P. E. C. is only a young institution but , already it has made an impact on the econo- mic life of the Atlantic Provinces. Referring to the need for such a body, Dr. MacKinnon said that the time has come to look upon the Maritime Provinces with a positive -attitude-as a place where it is a pleasure to live—with traditions to be cherished and to be proud of. j
Speaking on the advantages of life in these Maritimes he said that there are economic oppor- tunitles here if Maritime people grasp can result in great advan- tages for them. He outlined the steps which had been taken in the formation of A. P. E. C. which he pointed out is not a govern- mental body. It must, he said, stand on its own feet and be a force of its own. He pointed out, however, that although it was not a government body that it has the sympathetic upport of all four governments in the Maritime Pro- vinces.
Enumsrating the things that the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council has accomplished since it was founded, Dr. MacKinnon
Mayor Cur-
C. R. MacLaggan Re-elected S’Side Trade Board President
said that it has brought together people with common interests; it has brought together people with practical connections; it has encouraged an exchange of infor- mation Between the four provin- ces; it has initiated research in various projects of benefit to the Maritimes; it has brought to- gether the representatives of the four governments of the Atlantic Provinces where their ideas and opinions are exchanged; it has ben instrumental, for the ‘first time in history, in having a con- ference between the premiers of the Atlantic Provinces and re- presentatives from the New Eng- land States where matters of common interest were discussed.
“The Atlantic Provinces Econ- omic Council hopes,” he said,
“to bring all the four Provinces '
together and thus be able to do together the things that it would be impossible to do in- dividually.”
Mr. Lincoln Dewar also spoke on matters - concerning APEC, in particular its relations to agricultural matters. I-Ie stres- sed the great need for increas- éd membership in this body and pointed out that the greater the membership the greater will be the support it will re- ceive when it has occasion ‘to bring matters to the attention of the government.
The speakers were extended a vote of thanks by Mr. J. Frank Arnett, a past president of the board.
