Lack Of Marketing Policy 'Scor ed By Mr. Rossi

Appointing a farm economist at this time was “putting the cart before the horse’, the Kings Conservative member declared. “Let us have markets first, and economists after,” he said.

Traditional Island markets in Eastern Canada and the United States were shrinking every year, the Morell merchant asserted. In Newfoundland, Island ship- pers were encountering strong

The member from Second Kings expressed the hope that the Minister of Agriculture

on the operation of the Sherwood frosted food plant.

Rossiter’s opinion the re was entitled to a full activities of the

of public funds used in the ven- ture. | FOUR COMPANIES

In this connection, he recalled that the Premier said during the 1955 election campaign that four companies had offered to spon- sor the frozen food experiment

ed that “it wouldn't cost the Province a cent.”

In spite of this latter offer, the Province had found it necessary to sink $500,000 in the project, Mr. Rossiter remarked.

Information from Ontarie sources indicated that the same company were paying for peas im that Province last year a maximum of $150 per ton, and a minimum of $79 per ton, while paying Island growers a maxi- mum of $100 per ton and a mini- mum of $55.

Most Islghd-grown pea’ grad- ed fancy or choice, so quality could not account for this differ- ence in price, he observed. SOMETHING WRONG

There was something wrong somewhere when the same com- pany could pay the above prices in Ontario, ‘process and package the peas, ship them down here, and sell them at prices enabling to retail them at

Rossitor stated.

The Kings member wondered why the Minister of Agriculture had not seen fit to reply to ques- tions asked recently by a pea- growers’ delegation.

Mr. Rossiter asserted that such plants were to the produc- ers of the Province but said he eould see no reason why Island farmers should be asked to sub- sidize a firm such as this.

MONTAGUE — The Montague branch of the Association for Retarded Children ~ +welcomed two new members to their grow- ing ranks at the monthly meet- ing held on Monday evening. After reading the minutes, the treasurer, Mrs. Vic. Pepler, pre- sented a most satisfactory fin- ancial report.

Appreciation was expressed by

all for the support of the people of Montague and surrounding districts. The success of the ice carnival was attributed to the support and help freely given for this worthwhile cause. Mrs. Pepler announced the re- ceipt of donations from the W. A. United Church and the Mas- ons and it was decided that the collection cans placed in the local stores should be brought in.

Mrs. George Clow moved that all bills be paid and this motion was seconded by Mrs. Claude Dewar.
