she bent to pick up the two largest suitcases. and her face brightened ns Sll'1 mid eagerly.

"rm so glad you brought a lot of

luggage. I hope you're going to stay I. long time! I've always wanted to know you better. isn't It crazy? We're? szsicrs, and we're strangers!"

There was a mist in her eyes that were as blue as Ccliais, and her smile was warm and eager

and appealing. But. Cr-iia's dsi1nti- ness revolted at sigiit of the grease-stainerl oicmlls. the smudged. burned jnckci, the grimy hands.

"Honey-you don't mean you work at this shipyard?" she pro- tested, not realizing how sharp her voice sounded.

Honey straightened. seeming to feel the weight of tiic two large suitcases unimportant. Her eyes were wide with surprise. '

"But of course, Celia! Every able-bodied man. woman and

child in three counties works here --and the yard nccds thousands more." 0 C 0

Honey looked at her for a mo- ment, level-eyed. The color crept into celia's face and she turned her own eyes away. ashamed that she had hurt her sister's feelings. yet resentful that such an occa- sion should have arisen. she saw Rusty Randolph and was grateful for I chance to ease back to more impersonal situation.

"Oh. were you expecting a house guest?" she said swiftly. ”That'. man over there in the gray suit says he is Rusty Randolph and that he's going to visit the Bart- letfsl"

"I sup- pose I left my mark on you. I'm a riveter in the shipyard and I seem always to have grimy paws!" she iipoligizecl lightly.

"lt's an honor, mivam," said 3089?. bowing grandiloquently. Then he tried to relieve Honey of the two suitcases. but she fought him off and Silld sic.-nly. "None of that. buddy! We know you're sup- nosed totakc things easy a bit: until you're well. You can

AMBROSE CORCORAN

-A very highly esteemed re- sident of Piusvllie passed away on December 26th in the person of Mr. Ambrose Corcorari. He was in his seventy-sixth year and settled in Piusvllie with his par- ents. from the United States. about 74 years ago.

Mr. Corcoran was well known throughout the province as a competent Rawleigh salesman and a prospeio s farmer. He was quiet and unassuming by nature and a great friend to all who knew him. He was a kindly father. a good neighbor and a devoted Christian.

His wile and family of fifteen are left to mourn his passing. Eleven of his children were pre- sent for his wake and funeral. Two of his daughters. members of the congregation of St. Martha. Charlottetown. were with their father when he closed his eyes in death. To have them present was a great consolation for their Mother. brothers and sisters in their sad . bereavement.

A large concourse of relatives and friends attended the funeral service at St. Anthony's Church. Bloomfield on Dcccinvber. 3151. The Solemn High mass of Re- quiem was chanted by the Pastor. Rev. M. J. Rooney iissistcd by Rev. L. J. McKenna of Lot 11 as Deacon and Rev. Leonard Mc- Donald of Wellington as sub Dea- con. The Rev. W. E. Monaghan of Albcrton and Rev. J.N. Train- or of Lot '7 assisted in the san- ctuary. The services at the gravc were conducted by Rev. Father”. Rooney.

1952 FARMJEOSPEGTS

Continued from Disc 1 1 possible that hog prices could go down to the floor price of 332.50 for Wilishire sides at seaboard, .a level above which our domestic prices have, to the present time. consistently operated. It is at least quite certain that, with a prospective surplus of hog pro- ducts. prices in 1952 will not nearly reach the peak of the past season.

Bee! Marketing:

Beef marketings in Canada were almost 10 per cent below 1050 from January to October. with 28 per cent being exportedi The United States market, our chief consumer. sets.' to a very great extent. our beef prices. and our prices this year will continue to follow the United States mar- keting pattern. While it is more difficult to foretell beef cattle markctings. and the influence of more generous pork supplies on meat prices, it would appear as if bcef prices in 1952 would fol- low pretty closely the 1951 levels. The high level of industrial cm-1 ploymcnt. and personal income will have some influence in main- taining a strong demand for re- quired meat products.

Prices of lamb and mutton will

probably follow their present

price relationships to the prices

of other meats. ' The price of wool. which has

recovered some of the losses sus- talned during the past season. should advance some in 1952. but not to the levels reached in 1051.

The horse population declined 11 per cent in the year, and will no doubt continue its downward trend. Large numbers of horses have been slaughtered for ex- port. and some have been pro- cessed for domestic consumption. The horse supply of this Prov- incc has now reached old age pension levels. and there could very well, with present trends. be a distant crisis in horse power on farms in the near future.

Dalryy production has been on the downward trend in Canada since 1915. and will decrease in 1952. There were about 500,000 less dairy cows in 1951 than in 1045. and 67,000 less than in 1950. and the high price of meats. and cost and scarcity of qualified labor in dairy farms, has served to swing production over to beef animals. The relationship could be very serious. Dairy pro- duction would appear to offer greater long distance opportunit- ies at the moment. than almost any other farm production pro- ject.

The sale of cheese and con- centrated products in sterling areas may meet with some diffi- culties in 1952. and cheese pro- duction may not vary substantial- ly from 1951, which would leave an exportable surplus on our hands. The domestic and export demand for concentrated products could easily change the cheese position. however. Cheese prices. in all probability. will remain firm.

Butter production in 1952. with lower total rniik production. and competition with the fluid milk trade. will likely leave a. reduced butter supply. and a strong dom- estic market for the product, Pro- duction in Prince Edward Island this year. due to marvellous past- urage. reached in butter the high- est in our history--well over 5 million pounds. while cheese went up 10 per cent over 1950 to 775.- 000 pounds. An average growing season with average pasture con- ditions will reduce our dairy pro- duction very much below these figures in 1952.

Egg And Poultry

Egg and poultry receipts in 1951-52 period will be higher than in the previous period. Canadian chick hatchet-lcs were 24 per cent greater than the previous year. This means more eggs for market. From September 1st, 1951. to Aug- ust 3rd, 1952, it is estimated the supply of eggs will be up 15 per cent The prices in the past year were good and were govenlccl by domestic markets. with an ex- portable surplus in view prices will be dictated by export markets.
