Mclsaac, secretary of the Prince Edward Island Federation of Ag- ' TICUIJ-lire. in addressing the Can- adian Agricultural Economics So- ciety meeting here on Friday. The subject of Mr. Mclsaac's remarks at the meeting. which was held in . connection with the convention of the Agricultural institute of Can- ada, was "An integrated marketing policy for Maritime agricultural products." T
in analyzing past experiences Mr. Mclsaac noted that many and varied attempts were made in the Maritimes to establish more effic-

clusively, however. that competit- ion alone between private and co- operative business in the field of marketing will not guarantee the farmer his rightful share of the consumers dollar or the market value of his product. Neither will it ensure the consumer of the lin- ished product at actual cost plus legitimate handling charges and expenses. This applies more par- . tlcularly when there is a surplus crop of any particular product. in ii year of scarcity, or of low pro- duction and high demand, mark- eting co-operatives can set the pace or act as such an economic yard- stick in establishing market prices. They can act as such a yardstick

"Producers in the Maritime Pro- vinces never had to worry about surpluses of potatoes and apples when they were able to do busin- ess with world countries on a re- latively, and reasonable, free-trade basis. and without the impediment of artificial currency manipulat- ion." said Mr. F. W. Walsh. Nova Scotia's Deputy Minister of Agri- culture and Marketing, in opening the discussion on problems in con- nection with the marketing of Maritime farm products before the 20th annual meeting of the Can- aian Agricultural Economics Soci- ety in Charlottetown on Friday. "And." continued Mr. Walsh. "Maritime producers would not have to worry about surpluses of these products today, were they able to trade on the same basis with world countries whose food stocks are exhausted. or in short supply, but who. because of man- made regulations, are unable to exchange the funds of their coun- tries for the food stuff; which their people need and desire."
Progress In M.aril.inaea
lions which have been placed upon the free trade of agricult- ural Eroducts, Mr. Walsh pointed out 1. at a great deal of progress had been made by Maritime pro- ducers in recent years. both in the field of production and marketing.
One reason why Maritime pro- ducers do not have embarrassing surpluses in many products-hogs, dressed poultry, eggs and straw- berries, to mention a few-Mr. Walsh pointed out. is because they have so organized the marketing of these products that local do- mestic markets are supplied regu- larly. with graded and inspected products in a volume which they are able to absorb quite readily. Any seasonal surplus is moved either to cold storage, or to a market outlet, either in Canada or in a country in which Canada can trade, and in which the dollar is the medium of exchange.
What has been achieved in Mar- itime production and marketing fields, Mr. Walsh stated. has been accomplished. largely. by produc- ers themselves. Working and co- operating with the Departments of Agriculture. they have endorsed and supported a policy calling for organization of producers. efficient grading and inspection services. and centralized marketing.
Beyond this point, however. it is necessary for government policies to be so designed that the markets of the world will be open to all producers who wish to trade there- in and who are willing to accept the currency of such countries in payment for the produce exported to them.
When this becomm a reality, there should not be embarrassing surpluses of agricultural produc- tion in any country. for the de- mand for food. in food dineient areas of the world, is more than enough to absonb existing and po- tential surpluses.
MARKETING BOARDS
Speaking at the same meeting. Mr. R. J. Leslie. of the Nova Scotia Apple Marketing Board, Kentvllle. maintained that the creation of production and marketing boards offers the best solution to the twin problems of low prices and sur- pluses now facing Canadian agri-

He cited the Maritime potato in- dustry as one which could be ex- pected to benefit greatly from board marketing.
"There is nothing wrong with
the potato industry in the three Maritime Provinces that will not yield to a sensible production and marketing policy,” he said. "Inter and intra provincial competition is a luxury which can no longer be afforded. With the construction of the markets in the United States. shipments to this area should be carefully timed and be handled in such a way as to minimize fric- tion. "A board operation is the only effective way to do thin.

The home is the oldest human institution; it is of Divine origin. It is one of the most hopeful signs of the present time that increas- ing interest is being taken in many places on pla ' g how to make a success iii and happy home. This is shown by the demand to School Boards, Home and School Groups and church Groups for courses in Parent Education and pre-mari- tal instruction. This all shows a fresh recognition of the home as the most vital centre for charac- ter building.
Character is often the result of a contagious inspiration of high ideals of conduct more than of direct instruction. Therefore par- ental example and an established family tradition of total abstin- ence is one of the greatest in- fluences in determining a child's attitude toward wine. if the home is made a place of family fun and a centre of hospitality without alcohol, it is easier for a. young person to seek similar fun and en- tertalnment outside the home.
Present school methods set the child even in the lower grades to seek information for himself. Therefore it is the duty of the parent to see that the home has literature on this and other health subjects suited to the men- tal grasp of the child. our Nation- al Headquarters at 111 Prince Arth- ur Avenue, Toronto 5, can supply suitable and attractive literature for every age from the Gray Bun- ny Stories or The King of the Wonderful City for the tiny tots, to science speaks. or Boys and Girls Learning about Alcohol for those who are studying chemistry. A plentiful supply of attractive material in pamphlet form is not expensive, or a slnrle good well bound book will be found to be a real home asset. ' Much may be learned from mere table talk. Every child sees some results of drinking nowadays, and these common occurrences. such as accidents, etc.. may well point the lesson that Alcohol means waste-waste of material values, health, efficiency and higher achievements. It is well to dis- cuss the family budget with the children and to teach them that some things can't be bought with-
out sacrlflclng other more valu- able assets. No home can really afford to buy alcohol.
Family pride that says within
the home circle, "Our family does not do that sort of thing." as well a practice of social independ- ence in judging standards of con- duct. is a fine thing. There is a certain distinction in being inde- pendent enough not to accept all the customs of the general crowd about such things as betting. cig- arettes. immodest dress or profane speech and late hours. The crowd in time learns to respect. even envy that independence. If a young person is independent in making his own considered choice about other matters than the social glass. it is easier to be independ- ent enough to say: "No, thank you" to wine when it is offered. Children should be trained to have a will of their own in their per- sonal choices. not to conform to
low standards in other matters beside drinking. , Since the aim is a deliberate
choice of a life long attitude to- ward a personal indulgence, It is well to guide a young person to make decisions from convictions that are the result of careful! thought. Therefore free debate in a family forum is a flrie way to educate youthful minds on all controversial questions. This may entail patience and even hard study in order to find answers for questlo that may arise. But this kind of family discussion has per- manent results, and young peo. ple do not like to be talked down to
Just as an illustration. where ino moral issue is at stake, just a case of personal preference and individual habit. A certain family were very proud of their father's name and of his family traditions. After marriage the daughters al- ways signed themselves with their .names followed by their husband's surname. as for example, (though these are assumed names), Mary Paterson Brown and Isabel Pater- sald of them: "Just how do they do it? None of the rest of us retain our maldeenrliames after we are mar- ried." e reply was: "That lam. lly has always done as they them- selves choose to do. and every one rather likes it. for after all they never do ii mean thing to any one."
The children of drinking par- ents often have ii revulsion against the drink habit as a result of what they have seen or suffered. For example. a lad whose drunk- en father often drove him out of the home at night in winter wea- ther is a successful sober busi- ness man and a fine Sunday School superintendent. Also a high award in the Sunday b ' Temperance study course was won by a child whose father al- ways had an open bottle of liquor in the home. ,
However. it has been shown that of over 4.000 alcoholics in- vestigated the majority had at least one parent who drank. mi- ample. or home neglect of the 'chiid who failed to find in the home high ideals of conduct, re- sulted in a life ruined by the drink habit.
A child's life should be full of wide interests. helpful hobbies. and happy expectancy of a pit- posofui life. Home atmosph c is so stimulating it kept mom and
