Following is the report If the commissioner, Mist-Ipbigenie Ar- senault. submitted at the annual meeting last night of the Red cross Society:

Another year of "Service to others" has been completed and is now to be recorded for the annuals of the Prince Edward Island Di- vision of the Canadian Red Cross society. The following pages speak for themselves of the ac- complishments of many hundreds of citizens in this province who are imbued with the same spirit of service as that which prompted Henri Dunant. the founder. to ex- tsbllsh an organization through which all of us can share in ”pro- moting health. lessening suffering and preventing disease”. This great organization. which now com- prises 75 nations of the world Willi millions of members, each year continues 'to add new ae- complishments to its already long list of endeavours.

Although all schools in the Prov- ince were staffed. it did not neces- sarily mean that they were ad- equately staffed. the report said A supply of well trained teachers is still one of the most serious con- cerns.

it is noted that there are 454 schools in the province and that the total number of teachers ia 021. as compared with 449 schools and 7711 teachers in 1955. showing the steady increase in the numbe of teachers required to staff th e schools of the province.

FARMERS AND I'll CABINET Once a year the directors of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture meet the Dominion Cabinet to dis- cuss matters and problems of con- cern to agriculture. these are. of course. the particular matters of national moment and the brief pre- aented represents the distilled thinking of hundreds of organisa-1 tiuns and thoisands of individual farmers who have all made a con- tribution through recommendation and discussion on matters of pol- icy affecting the well-being of ag riculture.

This years brief was presented on February 15 and as previously stated represented matters of nat- innal concern. in addition to deal- log with aationil problems the Fed- eration at th provincial level and at the local level deals with num- erous other matters and with many problems which I r e handled through farm organizations and are not brought to the attentiin of government either provincial or Federal.

This year's brief is quite lengthy and is generally considered by im- partial observers to have been one of the most effective and strongly worded document of this kind ever

"After seeing it in operation for some time the members of the Ca- nadian Federation of Agriculture have arrived at the conclusion that the Support Board's program as it is now carried on does not repres- ent a sufficiently determined ef- fort to achieve the purpose of the Prices Support Act. which is that the Board shall endeavour to se- cure a fair relationship between

tnl cost of the blood used in this province last year was 825,750.00. Most of this cost was borne by the National Headquarters. Our balance on hand of about 1,000 bottles will be just about enough to meet our needs until our next clinics are held the last week in
