United States. .

In his outlook for the year 1953 he stated the prospects are for less production in agricultural products, lower prices of farm pro- ducts, equally as high costs of operation, higher interest, tax and transportaabion rates, and a greater scarcity of farm labour at a high- er cost.

Touching on the dairy industry he emphasized the tremendous value of the industry to Canada, which he estimated at over 100 million dollars annually to the farmer and to all those encouraged in processing. Two million Can- adians are dependent on this in- dustry which is the keystone of agricultural stability slid farnl conservation.

Mr. G. E. Hartlen, local man- ager for Canada Packers. in com- menting on the pork situation yes- terday pointed out that deliveries to the local plant last week were just about double the normal. which left them with considerable above the average on hand. "Far- mers have been wise," Mr. Hartlen said, "in getting their hogs to the plant before the support price was reduced." He also pointed out that the same situation obtains throughout Canada, particularly in Toronto and the West.

The three men were in unanimous agreement that I serious juvenile problem existed in Summereide; that juveniles should be segregated from older prisoners, but agreed that facilities in the Prince County jail did not permit this to be done: and that the establishment of an industrial farm on the Island would provide healthy, useful, ' and re- forming environment for many youths who had personalities that would permit them, with proper guidance, to develop into citizens who would lead good constructive lives.

Johnstone said that the Council recognized the need for additional school accom- modation and further recognized that the provislonvfor such was the sole responsibility of the Board of School Trustees. He urged that the Board keep in mind the need for strict economy and it was further resolved that the Board be request- ed to consult with the Minister of Education as to the possibility of securing assistance in respect to additional accommodation from the Provincial Treasurer.

Coun. Storey made the suggestion as an alternative to erecting I High School and noted that the Provincial Government mlgilt be prevailed upon to proceed with their proposed plan for Rellonll High Schools within the next yeI.r or so.

A new and more compact Prince of wales College could be erected for the instruction of those inter- ested in sbecisllzed or higher learn- ing. Such I building could also house an archives. which 18 Kreltly needed. and a research department. It would be a far more Idequete
