Gcv't Chartered Plan-e Leaves For Royal Winter Fair

The first Government chartered plane to take a full passenger load of farmers and their wives from this Province to the Royal Winter Fair at Toronto left the Charlottetown airport at 5 o'clock this morning.

The Passellzers are scheduled to arrive in Toronto at noon today and after spending a day and a half there. will leave at midnight Thursday on .their return flight home.

Maritime Central Airways, from whom the plane was chartered by the Provincial Government. did not have the list of passengers completed last night but the following had announced their lu- tcntions of making the trip:

Messrs E. Bullman. Rustico; M. F. Reeves. Southport; J. Yeo. Seuthrwrl: R. Hamilton, Montague:

nicrside; T. Sanderson. North River: John DuPasquler, Forest Hills; M. Geurgis. Summerside; Alfred Mc- Neill. Southport: Mr. and Mrs. Harry Newman and Miss M. New- man. Union R/oad; Mr. and Mrs. George Johnson. Charlottetown: Mr. and Mrs. W. Prowse, Brackley. It. was learned last night that Premier Jones is especially inter- csied in the experiment of the Government chartering the plane.

and farmers have an opportunity to see at close hand the quality and types of live stock on exhibit at the Royal Winter Fair. the ex- perience may result. in a greater interest being taken in this Pro- vince in the improvement of the high quality pure bred stock which Island farmers already possess.

Hope in the future of the m1 industry was the keynote oi speeches at the annual banquet of the Prince Edward Island Fur Breed- ers’ Association held at The Char- lottetown last evening. All the speakers at the informal gather- ing expressed the belief that a few years will see an improvement in markets and a return of some measure of prosperity to those who carried on through the lean years.

President of the Association, Mr. J. H. MacPhail, New Haven. noted the introduction of mink this year, welcomed the visitors and thanked the breeders for making the ‘show a success beyond ex- pectations.

He introduced Premier J. Walter Jones who recalled his association with foxmen since 1012. Referring to the present slump in the fox business, the Premier stated that "only the stubborn breeders. or those who were rich enough to take the losses, or those who did not. charge for their time had stayed with the industry."
