Annual Meeting Of Osnaiilan Press

TORONTO, April 19 - (CP) - Herve Major, news editor of Mon- treal La Presae. today was elected president of the Canadian Press. Canadsa Co-operative News Sor- vice. He succeeds victor Sifton. publisher of the Winnipeg Free Press. president for the last two years.

Frederick L Ker, publisher of the Hamilton Spectator and pres- ident of CP in i946-48. wls elected honorary president succeeding Senator W. A. Buchanan of the Letbrbridge Herald.

ROY Thomson. of the Thom- son Daliies, was elected first vice- president: and R. J. Rankin. mm. -3310! editor of the Halifax Mail- Star. second vice-president.

The new president of the CP has been an active newspaper than for 30 years. After graduat- ing in 1918 from the College de Montreal. he worked for a year as a reporter with Le Devoir. served four years with Le Canada, and Joined La Presse in 1923 as 5 COPY-reader and rewrite man. He was appointed assistant news edi- tor of La Press in 1926 and two years later becam news editor. He has been a member of the Canadian Press since 1939 and a director since 1943. He was elect- ed second vice-president in 1946 and first vice-president in 1948.

Officers of the Association were chosen by the Board of Directors after the annual general meeting of members. at which Mr. Sit. ton reported on the co-operatlveis operating position, and Gillie Pur- cell. general manager. on details of the news service.

The meeting re-affirmed the basic principle of CP, an organ. ization which for 30 years has ex- changed news between the vari- ous sress of Canada. as "the ac. curate and prompt provision of the news of all members' districts for the benefit of members gen- eraliy."

Five transfers of membership were reported to the meeting. They were: St. John's Daily News from J. S. Currie to L. Chancey Currie: Sydney Post-Record from H. P. Duchemin to Roy D. Duche- min; Woodstock Sentinel-Review from C. O. Taiham to C. G. Kin- sey; Chatham News from E. C. Young to Joseph Emmott; Nelson News from the late F. F. Payne to C. W. Rsnisden.

Under a revision of by-laws. the annual meeting reduced the CP's Board of Directors from 21 to 19 members. For the first time d.i- rectors were elected by secret ballot. Those chosen were:

British Columbia - P. C. Gal- brdiih. Vancouver Province; H. P. ” r'., . Victoria Times.

and gazetting of such an order-in- ccuncii usually takes 30. "days Hence the change of date as re- quested would not be feasible for 1950. ' ' - ' Fisheries Department officials also pointed out that no siiniar request for change of date of the lobster season had been received from lobster fishermen in Nova Scctis. and New Brunswick.

Commenting on the official de- cision of the minister, Mr. Mc- Lure said he felt the request of '..'!e P. E. I. Fisheries Federation had been a most reasonable one. when opening of a fishing season coin- cided with s. week-end, he said. no little inconvenience was caused. no pointed out that lobstermen seek- ing the change showed their good faith in suggesting that the sea- son closa two days earlier to com- pensate fcr an earlier opening.

The Queen's member said it was a bad commentary on government procedure when it took a month to get through a very simple mat- ter such as a two-day shift in the date of opening of a fishing sea- son. It was just such departme.u.- al and administrative delays that are under fire by the leader of the opposition at the present time "This is simply another example of the costly and cumbersome ine- thods used by the present govern- ment", Mr. McLure said. "It is high time that the cabinet pulled itself out of the horse and buggy 586.. I

He declined to comment on the suggestion that the lobster season he opened the same day each week in future years. This is a technical matter, he said. which no doubt will be uiscussed by the P.E.I. Fisheries Federation and its mem- bers. ,
