A mighty uproar. Imagine. the old hands around here declared. charging I man to go to I war. dTho order was quickly rescind- e . Then there is money trouble. For transactions with the Japanese you use , ..-exchanged at 358 yen to the American dollar. But in addition there is American and British occupation ........,-a form of script that is used in military establishments. I never did find out what kind of currency was used in Korea. Everything looked so squalid that one was afraid to buy fruit or other food. lush as It might appear.

At the front itself. the Ameri- cans ran a very good press camp --rough and ready but full of good humor and release from the ten- slons that even reporters feel in a place like this. I've probably known more press camps in children's schoolhouse: than any- where eise. Somehow. public rela- tions) people seemed to gravitate to them. And particularly to these children's schools where all the chairs and tables are built for six- year-olds. They did in again in Korea and we would hunch over typewriters at night sitting at these tiny bits of furniture.

This is a war in which corres- pondents had no standard uniforms and everything from civilian cloth- es to bits and pieces of last war equipment were worn by reporters. Many of us did not even have tin hats. We wore no identification discs. Nobody knew our blood type if we were hit.

BedmKKl2(l Crowd

The press corps was a more be- draggled looking crowd than ever on this show and nobody cared or needed to.

This Korean affair will prob- ably go down in newspaper his- tory as one of the most costly in reporters. At time of writing. there have been ten killed or missing. With the front so open as it was for the first month. danger In- volved in moving to and from units was compounded. .

Communications from Korea to Tokyo lvcrc appalling much of the time.

Sometimes you would telephone 10 T0k)'0--get three minutes on the line at a time. At other times you would use a teleprinter ser- vice run by the army which was fairly good but would frequently send the tail end of a story first and sometimes drop A couple or "takes" out of the centre. The con- fusion this must have caused at the I'ECPlVlni.' end is something I don't. like to contemplate.

Transport. was very scarce for us at the from even after the first month and when a jeep could not he wrangled-whieli was frequent- ly-you simply hoofed it or hitch. hiked up and down the area.

Many Discomfort:

. The filth and dirt of the cam- paign seemed to be worse than others. Mosquito: and fleas kept us busy with DDT powder and re- pelliinis and the sweltering heat turned clothing into soggy masses of sweat.

This war brought a lot of vet- eran war correspondents out of the molhballs and inevitably led to endless reminiscences of other campaigns where some of us had been together. It made 3 log of us feel very ancient. too, when American Gl's who might be sit- ting around listening in would Rive us the most patronizing of looks that said: what are you "old" gooks talking about; why we're veterans of the new war al- ready.

This led Hal Boyle of the As- sociated Press and Bill Lawrence of the New York Times to coin ii standard introduction in past war talk: "Now if you don't mind listening to the reminiscences of an old man. etc. etc."

After a stretch at the front. reporters look back on Tokyo with the fond affection we used to have for Brussels and Paris. lihe comparison is not particularly apt in practice for Tokyo isn't the leave spot the others were.

Still it was I place for hot showershcool fans. clean clothes and cool drinks and good food ug the Tokyo correspondents club. an institution here for the reporters who work here all the time but which opened its door; to the horde of newsmen from around the globe.

i& last annual meeting on March 2nd. 1 50. Tefluestlng that the directors

ocecd to register the Prince Ed- ward Island Potato Growers' As- sociation under the Co-operative Associations Act and amendments thereto. When the directors made an attempt to carry out the inten- tion of this resolution, their right to do so was challenged. 011 whose authority were the direct. ors making this request to the Legislature? - "When informed that I,resolui- ion was passed It the annual meeting of our Association auth- orizing the directors to do so, your directors were asked to give a guarantee that this resolution was passed by a majority of the mem- bers atiendlng this Association meeting. This, the directors were unable to do, because there was no means of ascertaining whether or not this resolution was sup- ported by nibmbers or non-mem- bers."

In order to clarify the situation, Mr. Wright submitted the follow- lug facts: .

"The P.E.I. Potato Gi'owers' Association was incorporated in 1921; by the Statute (Chapter 23”: the Asocialion was to have all the powers incident to a corpora- tion under the Act relating to corporate bodies. The Association was given power to carry on the business of wholesale and retail merchants in all kinds of goods. wares and merchandise and to carry on the business of ware- housemen.

..”By Section 6 at the annual general meeting or a special meeting the members of the Association could make by- laws for proper management of the affairs of the Association and these by-laws might provide the terms upon which members are to be admitted to the Association. By Section 7 the directors could repeal. amend or re-enact the by- laws but every appeal. amend- ment or re-enactment would only have effect until the next annual meeting and if not confirmed then or by a special general ineeiinr; ceased to have effect."

Quotes By-Laws

"We have a printed copy of by- laws dated July Ill, 1031. We can- not find the minutes of the annual meeting passing these by-laws but the printed by-laws were distri- buted among the membens and have always been regarded as the- by-laws of the Association. We may say in explanation that the Association suffered 3. fire in its promises in the Tweel Building and this explains the fact that the minutes are not available We would point out the following by- laws relating to membership:

After quoting the by-laws :clat- ing to membership Mr. Wright coli- tinued:

"Up to and including the year 1965: the members of the Associa- tion were those who had signed the approved contract and paid their fees and notices of the an- nual meeting were sent to the members. Everything appears to have been perfectly in order up to this time. In this year the - As- sociation was III financial difficul- ties and the Provincial Govern- ment guarantoed loans at the Bank of Nova scotia up to 3100.- 000 on the understanding that all Association profits be credited against the deficit and no rehatc

be paid to members until the guarantee was satisfied. To give effect to this agree-

ment iha directors in September 1935 passed the following bv-laws;

Mr. Wright went on to cite the by-laws by the'diiecf.ors in Sep- tember. 1935. giving effect to this agreement. They provided that in order to add to the membership under contract, no membership fees be henceforth collected; to provide that all farmers marketing farm products through the Association be considered full members without signing the contract formerly re- quired. and that all profits he cre- dited against the deficit and '10 rc- bates be paid to members until the Government guarantee was fully satisfied.

"At the next annual meeting in July." Mr. wright added. "these by-laws were not confirmed as far as we can learn. We do not have I copy of the minutes of the 1936 annual meeting but I full report is contained in the newspapers of the day following and this contains no reference to I confirmation so we must assume clauses 21!. Ti. and 24 ceased to have Iny effect on the day following the annual meeting

"The directors however carried on the affairs of the Association on the assumption that these by-laws were in effect as passed by the directors and the wording of the statute was not brought to their attention. Non-payment of dues

however does not have the effect of cancelling the inembereblp - 0

First Annual Picnic For Blind

Many of the blind of Charlotte- town and viciirlty left the city yesterday afternoon to attend the first annual picnic to be organ- ized by the Charlottetown Wo- men's Auxiliary of tip Canadian National Institute for the Blind.

The picnic was held under smil- ing skies at Stanhope Beach and approximately forty-five guests were on hand to enjoy the treats of ice cream. candy and fruit.

The winner of the "candy on-a- strlng" contest was George ifaines, operator of the C. N. I. B. can- teen at the Charlottetown Hospital and second prize went to eleven- ycar-old John Pippy of the P. E. I Protestant. Orphanage. Many chuckles passed through the group of picnicers during the "balloon- blowing" contest. After much puff- lng Mrs. Caroline Gillis of Grafton Street successfully burst her bal- loon. and Miss Lucille Gauthier of Upper Queen Street claimed the second lady's prize. First men's balloon--blowing prize was taken by Master John Pippy. while Wolaston "Billy" Maclilachem of North Riv- er came second.
