Questions

Considered At S’side Trade Board Meeting

At the regular monthly meeting of the Summerside B of Trade h0;Id On Thursday night in the Town Hall. Mr. T. Earle Hickey, C. A.. chairman of the publicity and tourist committee submitted p report on s mee of his com- mittee which was had on Moods last to which invitations had been extended to thost interested in the tourist ‘trade. Representatives from four tourist homes. one from the cabins and three from the local restaurants were present.

Mr. Hickey said that the meeting had been called in order to take Steps to iron out certain difficult- ies and grobiems which had arisen during t e past season in the op- eration of the Tourist Bureau at lt.ead‘s Corner. The committee was aware of certain complaints which had been brought to the attention of the board and it was the ob- ject of this joint meeting to dis- miss these problems and receive suggestions from the represent- atives present. ‘

_Very strong criticism of the manner in which the Bureau was Obetsted was voicvlby Mrs. J. R. Cunningham. She said that out of some 4,000 people who register- ed at the Bureau she had received only six or se- en. she blamed the Bureau for a loss of revenue of $500.00. In her opinion the person in charge should not give any directions as to accommodation. Anyone rffering acoominodatioii should place their cards at the Bureau which would be available for the tourists to pick up if they so desired. «

only one other complaint was voiced, that by Mr-. Chester Gaudet, manager of the Olympia Restaurant, but he admitted that. his ccmpiaint applied only to the first few weeks of the Bureau op- eration and that after complaining to the committee it had './.en ad- justed to his entire set'.sfaot.Va1. '

Mrs. Cunningham made sever- al suggestion: for imprwenients. such as: that all tourist homes should put out signs for the con- venience of tourists often, arriv- ing in the night; inspection of tourist homes and cabins to in- sure clesniixiess and protect tour- ists from excessive charges.

In connection with the resolut- ion submitted to the authorities ‘asking that the driveway leading to the Marine Wharf be tram- ferred from the C. N. R. to the Department of Public Works, a letter was read from J. Watson Macllaught, M.P., who acknow- ledged receipt of the resolution and said that he would write to the Minister of Public Works concerning its contents.

The president R. 5.. Hinton and past presiden T. E. Hickey were Ivllbointed as I committee to bring in nomfnatio - for the odfice Pro. vinpial vice-president. of the Can- adian Chamber‘ of Cosnsneice and also for two directors‘ for ms, to

be submitted at the snnug meet. ing of the chamber. to. Man Holman of the town

improvement committee spoke on the importance of taking some im- mediatevaction in the matter of supervising trsitic at the school some in Summerside. He pointed out the grave danger existing at these points. even where the most careful of drivers are concerned, espepciaily during those hours when the children are going to or from school.

“Do we have to have some child killed before there is proper super- vision of traffic at these points." he asked. “The proper supervision is given in other centres, why not

ere?" Mr. Holman contended at police should be stationed there at the necasary hours to

direct traffic and furthermore that great assistance could be rendered by-the forms.t.ion of a junior poi- ice recruited from the older boys at the school.

It was decided that the matter he placed‘ in the hands of the town improvement committee for action.

Mr. Lester Jenkins suggested that some action be taken to pro- tect the smelts going up stream to spawn in the spring. He paint- ed out that part time guardians are appointed by the Fisheries De- partmentfor this purpose and that in some years they do not get. on the job soon enough. There is no special time for spawning, he explained. It varies each year by as much as two or three weeks. If not closely watched these guardians may miss the spawning by a week or so’ and as a result great damage is done to the in- dustry by illegal fishing in the streams.

The meeting decided that this matter be brought to the immedi- ate attention of Mr. L. J. Mur- phy, local fisheries inspector.

Mr. Edgar Cannon spoke of the annoyance caused to the residents of the Town living in the vicinity of the Government garage, where during the winter months, motors are left i-unr.v‘i1g all night in order to be in readiness for next morn- ing He also pointed out that an accumulation of garbage. et:.. was an eyesore to the residents in this vicinity.

This matter was also handed to the town improvement committee for con-:tdera.tioii.—S.

forecasts Canada's Population 50 Years Froin Now

By FORBES RHUDE (Canadian Press Business Editor) TORONTO. April 7 -—’(CP) "~'—-

want to know what the population of Canada will be 50 or 100 years ~from now?

Well. get out your geography books. Not those you discarded at about 14 years of age. but boost: which will tell you the make-up of your country in terms of supporting people.

mar, as Dr. Griffith Taylor. pro- fessor of geography at the Univer- sity of Toronto. puts it:

"Geography is a liaison subject in which the significant facts of geology, physics and so on are in- corporated in the study of environ- ment. It is» not to be thought of ‘simply as the memorizing of facts and localities, but rather as a ser- ies of exercises in deduction."

If you follow Dr. Taylor's rea- sonings you might deduce as fol- lows:

Canada. a country of 3.500.003 square miles. roughly the size oi Ehirope or the United states. is not so favorable to large population as. either.

Europe now has about 600000.000 people. If that is regarded as "sat- uration'." then .Canada on the same basis may some day have 100.000.- 000 people. However, from the standpoint of a higher standard of living, 4o.ooo.ooo or so.000.00o would be better.

Dr. Taylor bases his views on the belief that nature- has largely dc- cided the‘f~uture of a country be- fore man occupies it; that man is able to accelerate. slow or stop a country's progress; but he should not. if he is wise. depart from this directions indicated by natural en- vtroninent.

What are these "directions indic- ated by natural environment" in Oanadal

In the first place, Dr. Taylor states, agriculture (apart from ox- tcnsive coal fields) is the maifii‘ fsctcr in producing a stable close settlement: mines help greatly to open up a pioneer region but (eit- cept for coal mines) do not in gen- "51 produce pumanent. settle- ments.

In agriculture the big govern- ing factor is the July temperature, and an~avei-age July i-°mP¢|'Ii-life of of degrees may be liken it marking the northern boundary.

Find Death Of Carleton Siding Man Accgenial ‘

HAMPTON, N.B.. April 7—(CP) —The death of Thomas Lloyd Mc- Bride. of Carleton Siding. P.E.i.,' was accidental. a coroner's jury decided last night. He died of in- juries suffered in a highway ac- cident near Penobsquis March 23. when a truck driven by Donald Jenkins left the road and over- turned. _

Witnesses include Jacob A. Mc- Bride, Carleton Siding. and W. D. "Stevenson. North Winslow. P.E.l. a friend of the victim. Both had identified the body.

According to evidence. young McBride and two other ssen- gers were in the truck ca with the driver when the accident oc- curred. They had bought three quarts of liquor in Sussex and more liquor and beer in Moncton. Jenkins said he had not been drinking.~

The jury's verdict attributed the accident to poor visibility. high- way conditions and the presence of three other‘ persons in ‘the cab with the driver.

the Maritime provinces), across northern Quebec and Ontario, skirts James Bay, and th swoops northwest across northern Mani- toba and saskatch .i-n and up the Macxcnzie River basin to the Arctic circle..

In that belt, of course, there is much inad unsuitable for agricui ture, regardless of the tempera- ture.

Coal in Nova Scotia. and Alberta should assist population growth in those provinces.

"In Alberta the abundant coal cannot be ignored much longer as in source of power on a large scale. There are so few little-used coal- fields left that our great heritage will soon be fully ,loited.'' ‘

Oil in Alberta and ooal in LII}- rador are recent factors, and Dr. Taylor seems to asses their long- term population effects largely in terms of the development they bring to areas with solid agricul- tural possibilities.

I-le approves the "wisdom" of Canadian authorities in encourag- ing peopie to settle first on lands available to community facilities,’ rather than striking too far away from general development.

As to what Canada's population will be in the year 2,000 —- well. ac years is a short time in the life of a country and many things may oc- cur to accelerate or slow down possible developments; and he pre- fers to suakehis forecast. of 40.- 000.W0 or 80.000300 (or 100.000.- we on a "saturation" basis) in terms of 100 years or more. ‘

very satisfactory to the producer under the floor support prices which have kept the market at a level throughout the season. re- ports Mr. W. Russel Rogers of Coleman, P. E. 1.. who with Mrs. Rogers is spending the winter in the Southern states.

Prices the latter part of March on the New Orleans demand for old stock was steady. Colorado round whites moved at 3.40 to 3.76; McLure.s 3.25 to 3.50; New Braska Triumph 3.60 to 3 05; U,, S. No. 2 3.15 to 3.25: Idaho potatoes U. S. No. 1 3.75: Idaho ltuasets 3.50 to 3.76: Oregon Gems 3.50 to 3.75; Maine potatoes round

whites 3.25: Minnesota. 35 per cent U. S. No. 1 3 00; and Can- adian large long whites 3 75. all

per 100 lb‘ bag.

The market on new stock po- tatoes was steady with Florida 00 iii). sacks U. S. No. 1 triumph size A or B selling st- 2.40. These quotations for the latter part of March apply also to the following centers: Oincinnati,St.1m.iis, Pitts- burgh and Detroit.

The retail stores for the above mentioned potatoes are retailing same on an average of sputum- ately 3.95 per 100 lbs. and a 10 lb mesh bag retails at .58. This ap- plies to many retail stores visited by ‘Mr. Rogers and the steady price lhmuzhout the season is attributed to the support price that was giv- en the farmers.

lluse Maine Production

Sixteen percent of the country’: potato crop is harvested in Maine, mostly in Aroostoois County. It has 5,300 potato rai-ms, owned and op- erated by 4,500 families and com- panies These growers get $67,000,- 000 out of the more than $200,000,- 000 thcir government spent last year to support potato prices. Thirty-one farmers got cheques ranging from $100,000 to better than $450,000 each. 146 were paid $50,000 to $100,000, 4613 got $5,- 000 to 350.000. and 1.200 got $15,000 to $25,000.

The senators representing the different States are at a loss to know what to do about setting a floor price for another season, however. owing to the huge sur- plus of potatoes the government bought and had to destroy or give away. The surplus was not so- cumulated by the bona fide farm- er. but by the speculator who had grown potatoes by the hundreds of acres. “Ii: is rumored," states Mr. Rogers, “t‘hi1t some received cheques for as much as $500,000, and the powers-that-be are at a loss to know what to do under thcse conditions. whether to es- tablish a filler price for 1950, or cut the acreage " It is understood that finally thry have decided to modify .the potato support. price for 1950. .

Notes improvement

since his previous trip in 1941 tiirough the different States. Mr. Rogers noted a-remarkable improve- ment in acreage and still greater lmpiovcment in quality of potatoes grown. It was hard at that time to buy a potato on the market for grade or quality that would taste anytiiing like an island potato. Not so today. nearly every potato one purchases grown in any of these centres. is very satisfactory for home consumption.

“At the rate potatoes are grown through the U. S. it does not look too bright for our Province," Mr. Rogers states. "We will haye to find other markets as well as the

As a farmer and grower of seed potatoes he considers it will not pay to put. our eggs all in the one basket. it is too risky for the small farmer, unless our Govern- ment can see fit to give us a support price for the coming year. A suggestion is that they bonus the farmer on ten acres, so he would have a, guarantee of costs of production. to take care of his fertilizer and expences. it ocuid be woitred cut with very little ex- tra cost to the Department, as the Inspectors will know the ex- act acreage for each farmer and also the yield of same. The potatoes grown on these acres would be all the Government would be respon- sible" for, and if anyone wishes to plant over and above the amount allotted it would be up to the in- dividual to gamble on same.
