Milk ProducersWSeek One Cent Per Quart Increase

That the price oi milk paid to the producer be increased im- rnedistely by one cent per quart was strongly urged at a special meeting of the Prince Edward Island Milk Producers and Ven- dors Aasociation held last night in Charlottetown. In addition to I large representation of producers from the Charlottetown area. there were at least 15 producers in attendance from Summerside and vicinity. Mr. AB. MacRae presided.

In outlining the purpose of the meeting Mr. MncRne recalled that is November a committee from the Association met with the Milk Board to ask for an increase in the price of fluid milk. Producers are now receiving 31.10 per pound butterfat for milk The request was for 11.30.

The Board after taking the mat- ter under advisement recommend- ed 81.30 which will give the pro ducor 13 cents a quart instead of 11 cents. The Board has also rec- ommended no increase to the pro- censor of one cent a quart so that the consumer will be required to pay 10 cents a quart for milk If the Board's recommendation is ratified by the Executive Council.

RISING FARM COSTS

Mr. Mncllse said increased farm costs were the reason for asking for an increase in price. He also stated that producers is Prince Edward Island were re-

celving the lowest price between Mexico and the North Pole.

He expressed disappointment that there had been such a long delay in putting the Boards rec- ommendation into effect stating that farmers were losing money daily as a result of the delay.

Mr. Smith MacFarlane who pre- pared the original brief presented to the Milk Board also expressed dissatisfaction in the delay in implementing the increase in price to the consumer. He pointed out that recommendations from the Public Utilities Board were not questioned by the Executive Coun- cil and could not see why an ex- ception had been made in th is case.

Mr. Roland MacDonald, who is a producer member of the Milk Control Board. felt that the mat- ter would be -t-aightened out to the satisfaction of the producers within a week. He based his opin- ion on information he had re- ceived from a membe of the Government, he said-

COMMENDS MILK BOARD

The meeting was unanimous in its endorsation of the co-operation received from the Milk Board. Mr. Major MacRne said the Board has done a great deal for the pro- ducers. He suggested that if it were not functioning a large or- gsnlzatl could move in and make a monopoly out of the milk business.

In a general discussion which followed the main part of the meeting, Mr. Ken Walker from Summerslde suggested that an in-

Standard Oil Of New Jersey Plans Vast Oil Search

NEW YORK AP - Standard Oil Company of New Jersey an- nounced Thursday it will spend 31.250.000.000 t proving its world- wide facilitie and searching for oil and natural gas next year.

About 80 per cent bf the outlay will be spent in the western hem- isphere, Eugene I'o1man. chair- man of the board said. The United States. Canada and Venezuela will get the lion's share of the 31.000.000.000 budgetted.

The spending program will be the largest the company ever has undertaken. It's 1) per cent more than Jersey Standard spent this year.

Holman said the decision to go ahead with the huge capital out- lay was taken in the belief that world d r' for oil would con- tinue to rise despite "current un- certainties" in the Middle East.

He said the company feels that not only will 1957 be a better bus- iness year than 1956 but that the

world stands on the threshold of tending

an "era of oil energy" many years into the future.

While blockage of the Suez Canal and destruction of Middle East pipelines had a serious effect on the Company. Holman said. this effect was lessened considerably by the worldwide divas-strut -the company's interests. He said pro- and purchases are being increased in other parts of the

du ”

world to make up for the Middle East loss as far as possible.

TRADE MINISTER HOWE GIVES VIEWS

Sees Continued Prosperity

OTTAWA (CP)- Trade Minister Howe Thursday forecast another

round of prosperity for Canadians in 1067, though be anticipated there would be a "significant" drop in house building and some problems in export markets.

"Shifts in market demands will continue to cause ups and downs in some industries," he said in his annual review, "but these are not likely to affect the underlying surge toward eve.-widening econ- omic horiwns."

On the broad economic front. b

predicted earnings. sales and pro- duction will sweep is new peak!

and that heavier spending on can- sumer and industrial goods wul shatter all records.

"By and lust. the conditions which have necessitated a close rein on the over-all expansion of credit are still present." he said.

The strain of this demand for available goods and labor would continue for at least part of the year. Scarcitles in structural steel and plate might cause further do lays In some commercial build ings.

The 1957 situation was not en pectcd to bring any general slow- dovin to the boom.

"The current economic upswing though now in its third year. gives no indication of general vulnera- bility." said Mr. Howe. "Inventor- ies have increased but not out of line with final dcmsnda. Specula- tive tendencies have been re strained and prices have increased but moderately."

In the year just ending, capital investment-the building of new plants and machines. hospitals. schools and other fsciIitics- had climbed by some n per cent to a record of more than s7.5oo,noo.ooo I little short of the I.W0,0fD.fll anticipated. Mr. Howe said there likely would be a further rise in 1957.

HOUSING MAY DECLINE

"Of all the major investmeli .-sectors. residential building is the lonly one likely to show a signifi- cant decline." he said.

On this point, trade officials esti- mated that Cnnadn this year will turn out a high of between I85.- fllfl and ldthw new houses. In from moon in 1955. Next year the number may drop to about IIO.fIIi.
