OTTAWA (CP)—Awro Aircralt Limited has offered“the govern-

Avro does not quarrel with Prime Minister Diefenbaker’s figure of _$900,000,000 for 100 Ar- rows, with all costs included since the first development con- tract was awarded in 1953. Of this $9,000,000 .per aircraft, $4,- 000,000 has alyeady been spent— or a total of 000.
Avro is understood to have told the government it can produce the Arrow fast cnough to get the plane into squadron service next year instead of 1961. as originally planned. Major remaining de

As the days go by with con- tHinuing fine weather and little if any snow fall,- we began to} realize that this province has en- |
stable weather. While it has been cold since the first of Dec- ember the, snowfall’ has been light and what drifting there has been not too serious. The uniformity of the weather is pro- bably healthful and the extra hours of sunlight more econo- mical than cod liver oil. ~
Already the evenings’ are lengthening to a noticeable de- gree all of which encourages a in rural people that the worst of the winter will soon be behind them. NEW PRESIDENT
Mr. Kenneth MacLean of Cen-| tral Lot 16, who will be Presid- | ent of the Federaion of Agricul-} ture for 1959, is no stranger to | organizations either on the pro-| vincial or national level. Mr. | MacLean is a young farmer who! has gained a wealth of experi-| ence in agricultural matters and! who as director-elect for 1959 to the Board of the C.F.A., will have an opportunity of making a further contribution on the na- tional. level. JUNIOR FARMTRS
Worthy’of note and an encour- aging feature was the fact that of the some forty directors pre- sent at the annual meeting last Monday were four young men who are officers of and active in the Junior Farmers of the province. In faet one of these, George MacDonald, was named a member of the nine-man ex- ecutive. It is highly important in fact absolutely necessary, that the Federation have young
sume the responsibilities of the organization for the future. ANNUAL MEETING NOTES This years annual meeting of the directors was character ized by a greater feeling of op- timism than has been evident for some time in the past. The increase in memerstiip and re- venue for 1958 provided encour- “Agement for directors in their desire to get Federation finan- ces on more stable basis. While the revenue of slightly over $8,- 600.00, almost exactly matched expenses, it is necessary to aim for a higher figure. than this, $10,000.00 would appear to be it the minimum.

of the heavier bills is of course dues to the C.F.A. During the lean years the Island Federation fell in arrears and the squaring
15 per cent of the total income. Certainly one of the most im- portant roles which the Island Federations plays is that of membership in the C.F.A. More and more it is being realized that the C.F.A. on the national level wields very considerable influence in the molding of nat- ional farm policy.
Prince Edward Island as one of the mainly agricultural pro- vinces can certainly not afford to be left out as one of the part- ners in this field. C.F.A. dues for this province for the coming year will be $1,000.00 or approxi- mately 10 cents per farmer — not a high price to pay in sup-| port of an organization which is continually working on the} farmers behalf. MEMBERSHIP MEETING
KR has been explained pre- viously that last Monday’s an-| nual meeting was one attended only by directors and not open to the membership. This ar- rangement is of course one whi enables directors to tran- sact a maximum of business in one day. However, the desirabil- ity and value of having sessions which are open to the member- ship was freely admitted and the provincial board was instructed to attempt to plan the annual meeting to provide for a session or sessions during the anaual meeting which would be open te the members.

TIME FOR CHANGE
Last week in speaking to the Federation annual meeting in N.S. the Minister of Agriculture the Hon. E. D. Haliburton among others presented the fol- lowing thoughts, “If Farmers want to stay in business, then they must recognize the chang- es that are going on about them every day. They must be amen- able to change, they must be ever-ready to introduce factors of readjustment as they become necessary, and they must pro- duce a sufficient volume of agri- cultural product that will enable them to take advantage of the increased market opportunities associated with a projected rise in population and the demand which accompanies such a pop- ulation growth.
“Far too many farmers were not in a position to take adyan- tage of their opportunities be- cause they had not given suffi- cient thought to the readjust- ment of their enterprise in line with changing conditions, and too many had 20t yet appreciat- ed the importance of increasing the volume of farm business, each year.”
AFRICAN LAKE
NHBA spokesmen said the cor- poration would create a new fluidity in funds available for home construction, and, would provide builders with a chance*te* spur their own industry.
The new corporation was pro- posed to the NHBA directors by a subcommittee studying mort- | gage finance problems, and re- ceived the directors’ approval at the NHBA annual convention here Tuesday.
New Transport Commissioner Is Appointed —
