close-knit community “~*~

The village of Morell with a population of 385 and 90 homes continues to be one of the more aggressive communities in Prince Edward Island. The peo- ple of the village and surround- ing area work closely together to achieve their aims. Their schools, hockey rink and other projects are proof of this

In the past year several new industries have started in or near the village. The Morell Co-op Creamery has beer re- built following a fire; the Morell Packing Co. has ovened for business. the Morell Fur Farms have been reopened: a new fire hall is under construction; Su- therland Bros. machinery and woodworking plant is in full op- | eration: the new hockey rink: | United Church: a new sub-divi- |sion and other activities have all contributed to progress in 1964 and are considered to be very important to the economic | life of the community for the future

The new creamery is current- ly handling 150 milk shippers, 600 cream shinvers, has storage space for 110.000 pounds of cheese as well as for four car- loads of butter with room for anticivated expansion in the near future

Ten fulltime employees with 17 at peak periods received $34- 680.00 in wages in 1964. For com-

parison in 1963 this creamery produced 517,000 pounds of but- ter with 750,000 being produced in 1964. 139,000 pounds of cheese was produced in 1963 with 490,- 000 being produced in 1964. The creamery creates employ ment
