Ayrshire Club llears Annual Report 0f Work

As Ayrshire breeders I feel we have every reason to be encour- aged by the progress which we have made. Ollr breed is definitely‘ showing increased signs of popu- larity" Mr. Keith Boswell of Vic- toria. president of the Prince Ed- ward Island Ayrshire's Breeders Club declared yesterday. He was presenting the sevententh annual report of the Club. "Sales have been good. ptrlccs much improved and I am convinced of the steady demand and general improvement in the individual herds" the presi- dent continucd_ "Two shipments of choice Ayrshire females left the Province in March." “The popularity of the Ayrshire breed is further evidenced by the unusual attendance at the ring- side dttring judging as well as for the demand for herd sires." Of twelve bull associations or- ganlzed in the Province last year eight were Ayrshires. "We congratulate our successhil shoivmen. I would like to refer particularly to the herd of Andrew MacRAe and Sons which did so well at our local shows last year and upheld the Island's honors at the Maritime Wlntor Fair’ Mr. Bosyvcfll continued. "It was en- couraglng to note that Ayrshires predominated in the Calf Club showing at Amherst last fall and won the two cups donated by the late G. M_ Barker for champion- ship calves. ‘We also have a reason to feel proud of the fact that the champion ctip for calves was won by Leslie Douglas 0i Hlhsborough. P. E.

Strong indorsation of the policies and records of the Bennett and MacMfllan administrations, coupled with denunciation of the manifold broken promises of the existmg Liberal governments in this prov- ince and at Ottawa, was voiced un- animously at a large and represen- tative aunual meeting of the Queens County Conservative Asso- ciation last. night.

Extremely sultry weather and bad roads failed to deter ‘the dele- gates from gathering in surprisingly large numbers at the Strand '.l.‘hc- atre, where the convention opened after preliminary meetings of the district delegates.

President Samuel Kennedy, Charlottetown, who presided, was subsequently ire-elected at an exec- utive meeting. Mr. George M: Mac- Kay. lilmerald, being elected vice- president. Mr. R. R. Bell, Chariotte- town was re-elected Secretary.

So enthusiastic was the meeting in favour of making the forthcom- ing Provincial Convention a strik- ing demonstration of Conservative unity and democracy, that it was decided, after lengthy discussion as to the best ways and means of achieving this result, to appoint

five delegates from each poll to attend the Convention. This motion moved by Mr. John l-l. Colwill, New Haven, seconded by Mr. J. P. Car- ragher, Lot. 30, was adopted in preference to the suggestion of ap- pointing five delegates from each district.

Following a brief opening ad- dress by the chairman, the adop- tion. with an amendment, of the secretary's report. and the dlSPO-i- at of routine business, the meeting heard an eloquent address by the Hon. Dr. W. J. P. MacMil- lan. which was received with pro- longed applause.

Others on the platform included Messrs. W. Chester S. MCI-life fllld John H. Myers, former Federal rc- presentatives, who, owlng_ to the lateness of the hour. refrained from speaking. ‘If: Were Very Warmly greeted.

FEDERAL RESOLUTIONS

Whereas the Liberal Government led by the Hon. Mackenzie King. by takmg advantage of the world- ivicle depression and exploiting thO hardships of unemployment s0 common to every country and pledging to restore industry and employment. but without any desig" nated constructive policy, secured a mandate to govern,

And whereas, although industrial activity has revived in every coun- try. international trade increased. and the severity of the depression has passed, unemployment has not decreased in Canada to any extent in proportion to the expansion of trade and no apparent effort has

those bcttcr conditions for the bciicfit of labor or to give assist- ance to the agricultural and indus- trial classcs of our people, '

Resolved that this convention of Liberal-Conservatives of Queen's County with deep regret deplore‘ the inaction of the Federal Govern- ment in adopting legislation and instituting measures to assist Can- ada. to keep pace with other co\ln- trles or in adapting trade and la- bor conditions to the standards adopted by more progressive gov- ernments.

And whereas our able and dis- tinguished leader Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett after consulting eminent specialists, has announced his res- toraton to health. and has com- plied with the unanimous wishes of his party to continue as leader; and further that an active and systematic plan for the organiza- tion of the Liberal-Conservative forces in every riding and district in Canada. is to be immed'ately undertaken,

And whereas the legislation and policies of the Bennett administra- tion, in as far as they have not been mittilaied by the Maokei lc King Government, have contribut- ed enormously to the recovery of Canada's trade and producing in- riusirics and are for the most part responsible for our greatly improv- cd condtlons.

Therefore be it resolved that this convention take this earliest op-

portunity of congratulating the Rt.
