i How lovely of you to send me the phi-eel with the tins and all the other rations. I was surprised and ii was like the Dutch old IQSI/Wfl-I of St. Nicholas. Mnny of the tins I gave in the Guides who need them. We had a terrible time dur- ing the war and especially the last winter 1944, but we fought in sil- ence. and tn- lhe resistance move- ment ngninst the enemy. Many of on; Guides were couriers and our companies were still going on. I worked in n hospital for llIlYslcfll Imedlcinc, but every night three or five babies were dying from hun- ger. In tho hospital we had no light, a very little bit of food and Imcdlclnes and many patients. But lwe knew that your soldiers we're

ggoming to liberate us. They did and lzrive their lives for our liberation- [we oi-o filled wlthb great thank- fulnoss to tl-ie trove. very brave soldiers of your country, our liber- iitors. They gave their lives at Wzilcherc-n itnd on other places of |our country. God will remember ‘them andfvve, too. y Our movement started after the war will: 30.000 Guides tibefoi-e the vwnr 7,0001. It ls very difficult. Y0K‘ we have no materials, no cluiroonls etc. We have no tents for canin- iing and no pulls etc. But we have ‘_ihe spirit to work hand for our gldonls and for the future. In this ‘letter you will find the picture of ‘Lady B-P during her visit to Am- ISBFIKIMYI 1046, and a picture of U10 ‘Dutch Cluldc. '

I hope to meet yOII nnywhc-re and please glvc my greetings to all your Guides.

Yours sincerely, Mien do Cvnoljer.

Dependent on Consumers

“As a falimcr I never forget the consumer. If there are fewer con- sumers or if the consumers buy less, the farmer selling butter and eggs is the one who suffers. Our problem is to market our dairy products in such a way as to givc the farmer a fair icwaitifo: his labor and at the same time not to overcharge the consumer. It's by n0 means a simple task but I feel that some reasonable and fair ar- rangement can be made."

In the Parliament buildings to-, day, Mr. Myers met and chatted with W. Chester S. lvlcLua-e, Pro-I gressiva Conservative member for, Queen's and his former running mate in that constituency, and re- newed acquaintance with a number, of.’ senior member; on the Opposi- tion side with whom he had sat in the 1930-35 Parliament. Asked by The Guardian how the present‘ Parliament tompared with that of] l5 years ago. the Prince Edumrd Is- land dalryman lvas reticent. 'i

“This is a good Parliament from. what I've seen and from reports which I've read." he conceded. .

"But there wezre sortie very, fine fellows in the Parliament of 1980-35. I often think of how they blamed RB. Bcilneti for every eco- nomic lli to which the country fell heir tn those depression years." _.

In common with his fellow-dir- ectors from the other provinces o! Canada, Mr. Myers is hopeful for on upward revision olf butter, cheese and concentrated milk prod- ucts.

Government knew that this Prov- ince like many other provinces ‘n thc Dominion. was a suppllant and in no financial condition to refuse whatever Ottawa saw iii to give it. Even the Premier, he said, ad-mitied he expected to get atmllllon dollars more than he go.

Dr. MacMillan scored the Pro- vincial Government for the man- ner in which it had treated the teachers ln the superannuation fund. An expert. sent down flom Ontario to look into the matter had found the fund was behind several hundred thousand dollars. But Premier Jones then called lli his “financial wizard“, the Hon. W. M. Hughes, who amalgamated the civil service fund with the teachers’ superannuation fund and thereupon pronounced everything "in fine shape." _

Premier Jones had made “sh awful mess" of the educational system, Dr. Mat-Mlllan charged. He had abolished 1min fronl the one-room schools and had his Director of Education issue reg- ulations allowing the schools of Charlottetown and Sunlmcrsldo to pass pupils into Prince of Wales College without their taking the entrance examinations. A few days later, because of pressure from the fillPBI member; in the House, the Government cancelled these regulations, thus leaving matters in a worse condition than before.
