' co—o-peratlvs msrlnctlng and pur- Zahgslng of farm products was the :,,,b_1ect of a. well attended meeting ‘in New Perth Hall on last Friday ';'night. M. W. L. Brenton, Dairy Iauperintendant, Mr. Leo McDonald, Kmarrager of the ME IN POI!-W7 Association and Mr. John Gulls, :secretary of the Live Stool: Market- ’1ng Board took a leading port in the discussion. Mr. Wm. Craig was - 1,, me chair and after pointing out -the purpose of the meetii18 called on Ml‘. Brenton.

Mr. Brenton in his remarks re- .'.ferred to the K19“ importance oi’ ‘the dairy industry and deplored the fact that so many of our crearneries _were in a struggling condition ow- ‘ing to small supplies of cream and competition between the different facioriw in selling the product.

He urged the necessity cf co-op- eratlon in marketing butter and stated that as long as co-operation was limited to small groups there would be little progress.

Mr. Alec. Hamilton asked about the committee that had been formed a few years ago for the pur- pose of drafting a scheme for co- oporfltive marketing of dairy prod- ucts and what had come of it. 111- formation, to the effect that the w- had been shell.-d by would-

be ., ..cfr.cto1's, was derived.

Mr. Leo McDonald in his opening l‘i3m:ll'ks paid ‘a tribute to the “little old hen." He said that the poultry industry was having a very sue- cessiul year. There was some scur- (qty (1 feed but he thought that it could be met in a. profitable man- ner if the people would codopei-ate on purchasing feed in large lotsand by culling their flocks at the pre- sent time when an expert cullerwus at iilfil‘ service free of charge. He ,rurd poultry prices might be lower ibis fall and advised the people to market their fcwl early-

Mr. Gillis expressed regret that such an irnportant industry as dnirving should have such poor m‘~‘.‘lf)CL< of marketing. .He men- tioned having made some efforts mm pit‘ to form a marketing board for dairy products but these were .1lw.'l,\‘s met with oppzsition. He told of the growth of the shipping clubs and the benefits derived by the farmers from standing together and selling collectively when they were in a much better situation to dictate a price for their products. We must have better organized sell- ing agencies both in our own prov- ince and in the countries to which our product goes.

In conclusion Mr. Gillie referred to the annual m ting oi the Live- stock Marketing §oard on Wednes- day and hoped that the younger people would show an interest in in make.

Mr. J. A. Down: criticized the practice of buying very much of concentrated feed instead of prod- ucing more at home. He also stated he considered grading on the roll was in the interest of the packers and was not a fair and just basis on which to pay the runner for his pork.

Before the meeting closed a. dis- cussion fork place on feed T114095 and better marketing possibilities and the general interest evinced bears testimony to the fact ihatthc pco;il{,- of New Perth and vicinity arc awake to the benefits of co-(rp- Cl'i'i‘.lOl'l and are determined to bet- ter he lot of agriculture asawhole. Mcssrs Lincoln Dewar, F‘. A. Gordsn Sn-llth MaoPharlane. and James

din took part in the discussion.

A vote of thanks m0‘v'<’ri by Mr- J. A. Dewar and seconded by Mr. Do 125 McI..arcn was tendered un- anzmcusly to Mr. Brenton, Mr. Mc- Donald nnd Mr. Gillls.

Withdrawal or Flat Unit: mm llot Affect Guarantee

(0. P. by Guardian’: special Wire)

IDNDON, July Io-—'I'hA with- drawal of certain units of the British neat from the Mediterran- ean dos not affect Britain's guar- antee of support in the event of attack given to cennln Medit- erranean powers. I"o..;;.-.1 2:31.- tsry Anthony Eden war the House of Commons tonight.

Eden referred to the "mutual amistance" agreements entered in- to by Great Brltair. France, Yugo- slavia and Gree:e when sanctions were being enforced against Italy and an Italian attack on the Brit- ish fleet seemed possible.

The Foreign secretary’: state- ment was made in reply to a ques- tion by Geoffrey Mander. Liberal. who asked whether the withdrawal of fleet units affected the “staff plans” between the four countries for mutual support in the event of attack.

Eden replied that it had no con- nectlon with the “unilateral pro- visional asurances of support" given to certain Mediterranean powers to which he referred in the

debate of June 18.

On June 19, the day after the House had passed a vote of con fidence in the government's policy of removal of sanctions, Eden told members that the Mediterranean defensive pacts would be continued "to cover the period of uncer- tainty" following the lifting of sanctions.

The French Government, Eden said, regarded the mutual assur- ances exchanges between Britain and France as cancelled on the withdrawal of sanctions.

_Ma.nd3r asked whether the other assurances remained in full force. Eden repllsd that, as regards the British assurances, .’.:e position re- mained ns outlined in his speech.

One of the first questions shot at him concerned British interests in the Lake Tsana region of Eth- iopia. Hhe replied the Italian government had on several occas- ions promised British interests would be respected.

Novel Salute to Mark Railway Centenary July 21

(Special to the Guardian)

MONCTON, N. B., July 15-851- utes marking some great occasion have taken various forms but pos- sibly thero has never been a. salute such as will mark Canada's rail- way centenary at noon, Tuesday, July 21st. next. when thousands of locomotives on Canadian National lines from coast to coast, including some 225 in the Maritime Prov- inces, whether hauling trains or at work in yards, along with shops and round houses will give voice to their part in the affair by a one minute blast from their steam whistles. Thus, the latest giant of the rail, the "6400" streamliner, the largest streamlined locomotive in the world and capable of speeds of 100 miles an hour which was re- cently delivered by her builders in Canada to the Canadian National system will salute her pl ‘eccssor, the Dorchester, the first engine in Canada, which started from La- pralrie for St. Johns Que., haul- ing the first passenger train over the Champlain and St. Lawrence Railway at noon on July 21st, 1836, ushering in the railway era in Canada and forming the first link in the chain of railways now part of the Canadian Nrtional System.

In the Maritirrl lrovlnces the first steam locomotive. the "sam- som" was in operation in 1839 on a coal railway in Nova Scotia from Sfaeliarton to the "loading ground" on Pictou harbor, three years after Canada's first locomotive was put into operation hauling a train. Previous to this horsm were used. this coal railway being first laid down in 1827. The locomotive “Sarnson" is still in existence, be- ing housed in the Canadian Na- tional Railways station in Halifax. The first steam locomotive in op- eration in New Brunswick was the "Hercules." in 1854 between Mono- ton and Point du Cherie, the first section of European and North American Railway which ran from saint John to Point du Chene, on the strait of Northumberland, and now part of the National system to be operated for traffic. A rail- way company was formed in New Brunswick in 1835 in the con- structlon of a steam r-.ilway from St. Andrew: to Quebec to be known as the st. Andrews and Quebec Railway but the scheme fell through after surveys had been made. due principally to the Ash- burton Treaty of 1842 which ceded to the United states a part of the province through whlch the rail- way line was to be constructed. The date of the first steam loco- motive to be operated on Prince Edward Island was around 1873.
