Speaks on Need Of , church Facilities

"in a single decade Canada's population has increased by 21.5 per cent, while the United Church of Canada has advanced in num- bers by 30 per cent." said Rev Malcolm C. Macdonald in addres- sing a large representation from the city and pastoral charges near Charlottetown, in Heartz Hall on Saturday afternoon.

The speaker, who is secretary of the Board of Home Missions and chairman of the National Commit- toe on Church Extension for the United Church in Canada dealt with the problem of adequate church facilities. "According to the Canadian census, upwards of an additional 900.000 persons were re- ported ss belonging to the United Church. but they are not on the church records," he said. "A major portion of these live in the new housing areas and suburban com- munities where thsre are no churches and where great num- ber! are out of touch with church llf '

e.

In addition to 200 new churches required in these new areas. pm- vislon will have to be made for so or 70 msnses. according to the speaker, who added that in or 20 new churches and in or more

Msnses were required in the Mari-

times. In conclusion Mr. Mscdonald

said: "we have here a challenge .1:

and an opportunity. Our plan calls for 0.300.000 to be raised and ex- pended on this work during the next five years. to which Trinity United Church here has already promised ten thousand dollars" no men of Trinity organised on Saturday to go forward with the work of pledging the congress- tion in support of this church ex- tension movement. g

i The GUARDIAN. caaacorrarowu

Need for s. reconslde ation of the trade arrangements on potatou between Canada and the United states was emphasized in the an- nuai brief presented last. week by the Canadian Federation of Agri- culture to the Prime Minister of Canada. The recommendation on this subject suggests that the mat- ter be taken up "when trade ar- rangements are again being dis- cussed."

Another item of importance to all farmers of Canada is the mat- ter desiing with income tax. The brief suggested that a bona fzie transfer of a farm'or farm equip- ment to a son or daughter of the farmer should be treated the same as I. transfer to any other buyer with respect to depreciation for income tax purposes. -

The brief states it is the belief of farmers that the costs of clear- ing and breaking bush and forest land for agricultural purposes is just as much a cost of devlloping natural resources as the costs in- volved in exploration for gas, oil and minerals. Because of this the Federation asks that such clearing and breaking be considered a de- ductible farm exipense.

Agriculture Insecure

Many other matters pertaining to agriculture were brought out in the presentation and they ranged through the entire field of the in- duetry. It was stated that agri- culture does not. feel secure in its economic position and because of this there is a need for the devel- opment of a more complete and long-term program for the indus- try designed to provide the returns and stability ecessary to main- tain a balanced position in the national economy.

While it is noted that there still is a considerable amount of free competition within agriculture there is less free and equal com- petition between economic groups. For this reason the Federation suggests that many of the weak- nesses cannot be blamed on the industry itself but. should be con- sidered as a part of the whale economic picture of the country.

In this respect it is noted that farming recognizes the right of workers to organize or withhold their labor. and that of manage- ment to cease operations, but asks for the development .of a new tech- nique for settling disputes between the two without any stoppages that disrupt public services and halt the economic machinery of the country.

Farm Exports.

The brief points out to the Government that a much smaller percentage of total farm produc- tion is being exported than in for- mer years and states that in 1951 there was a decrease of 12 percent in farm income while farm costs

The Hall of Columns and the entire House of Union: was choked with flowers, ranging from a wreath from Mao Tze-tung. the chines leader, to a single geran- ium dropped by a three-year-old boy who broke away from his fath- er in the endless line.

Poems and Euiogles

The country's press was filled with poems and eulogies.

"You will always be with wrote Mikhail Sholokhov, of "Quiet. Flows the Don."

"He was our sun. a long and shoreiess ocean," declared the Ge rglsn, Joseph Grlshsshviil.

svda. the newspaper of the central committee of the Commun- ist. party. published an important photograph. it showed two men. One was Georgi Mslenkov, new prime minister. addressing the 19th All-Union Congress of the party last October., The other was Stalin listening attentively.

This picture, meant to illustrate the close association E. ,... Stalin and his successor, likely will take its place with another historic photograph which was reproduced over the yurs in statuary. paint- ing and other forms of graphic art. That well-known photo was of Stalin and Lenin together on a bench at Lenin's home and was used as evidence that stalln was a close and faithful comrade-in-arms with Lenin. f

Another photograph printed by Pravda was hardly less important. It showed the leaders of the new soviet government. at the bier. In the picture were Maienkov. inter- ior minister L. P. Berta, N. S.

The seriousness with which the threat of replacement of butterfat with oils is considered is notice-g abie in the opinion expressed in the brief that if it is allowed to continue the possibilities of fraud on the consuming public would be tremendous. It is also stated that many Canadian dairy farmers will be forced out of production. Pro- hibition of such subetilrutss in all Provinces is urged. At the same time it is recommended that a

of establishing a standard. colour for butter. To this effect it is sug- gested in the brief that s confer- ence of Provincial Deputy Minis- ters of Agriculture. representatives of the dairy farmers and the Na-. tlonai Dairy Council be called to study the subject. i

Butter Prices

An increase to 03 cents per pound for butter is also asked as the brief maintains that the cost of produc- tion of cream has risen 15 percent since the present floor price of 58 cents was established.
