He reminded them that the lack Of Participation by its citizens had resulted in the chaos and horror that forced refugees to flee from Hungary to this country one year ago.
Mr. Sangster told the assembly to use the basic knowledge they were acquiring as students to seek truth, and through truth the real blessings of freedom.

The platform received delegate approval with scarcely a word of dissent. _

A promise of “deficiency pay- ments” -- another word for farm subsidies—was added to past pol- icy of support prices to ensure that farm returns bear a fair re- lationship to production costs._
The new farm policy moved into fields where the former Liberal government refused to go.
Cash advances on farm-stored Prairie‘ grain, rejected by the Lib- erals and implemented by the Pro- gressive Conservatives, would be “improved.” .
Further, the convention pro- posed steps not yet taken by any government: Payment of storage costs to Western farmers holding grain on the farm; cash advances for farm - stored grain produced outside the Prairies, and federal participation in provincial crop insurance plans.

Snow Fighting
(Continued from page 1)
Emergencies are another thing with which the snow fighting force has to contend. Numerous sick calls reach the snow plow dis- patcher during the height of win- ter storms and no effort is spared to reach the ailing person.
Mr. Lord recalls a particular instance when a call was received from the Rustico area at a time when the Malpeque Road was blocked so that a plow could not get'out by way of Milton.
The road from Hunter River to New Glasgow was also blocked so the only alternative was to send a machine by way of the Winsloe Road to Portage Road via Oyster Bed Bridge.
The machine sent on the mercy mission became ditched at the Portage Road and a second plow was sent to pull it out. However the second plow had one of its tires pierced by a piece of iron so that a third machine was dis- patched.
ANOTHER HOLDUP
The third machine was success- ful in getting through to Rustico but on its way back it could not get around the two stalled ma- chines as well as a fourth which had come to the aid but had suf- fered a broken transmission.
The situation was solved only
‘ when a fifth tractor taken on a
float was able to remove the stalled plows and allow the pat- ient to be taken to Charlottetown.
While the Department is only too happy to co-operate in all emerg cies, this one instance shows hat emergencies do take up a great deal of time and in- volve considerable expense to the Department.
IIE—MAN JOB _
Snow fighting o the Island is a he-man job. Ea of the, wing «plows carry two men and when around the clock mission is to be undertaken the off shift man has to snatch a few quick winks in the cab of the plow while his mate carries on.
The Department of Highways has a fairly formidable array of
equipment. This includes 12 truck plows, one snowblower (exclusive), three converted
snowblowers, 12 track laying tractor plows which are used as “dozers” in the summer time; eight rubber tired tractors with plows; one payloader and plow; one grade-all with plow and 30 motor graders.
HUGE FORCE
. Including operators and garage mechanics and other staff it in- volves a working force of 250 men. The garage carries a stock of parts worth several hundred thousand dollars. The machinery is estimated at close to two mil- lion dollars.
Luckily for the Highways De- partment this season, there has been little call for snow fighting but when it does come they are ready for it. '

Makes Strong
" (Continued from page 1)
I do know some of the pro- blems facing the farmers of Prince Edward Island. You can see that the difficulties of the other three Provinces are in- finitely greater. In fairness I should mention that New- foundland has not a large farm- ing area. ’
“In Prince. Edward Island we._ have inaugurated/a policy of assistance to organizations capable of processing and freezing our- farm products. The Province assumed the full re- sponsibility for this program. We endeavoured to get assist- ance from the Federal Govern- meat, but were unsuccessful. To process our products became a vital necessity to ‘the suc- cess of agriculture. We, can grow the crops as well, if not better, than many other parts of our great country.
Weithought it unwise and im- prudent to be growing crops that were shipped great dis- tances for processing and freez-
lng while our con ‘ers were receiving a finished products for their tables frequently
manufactured in Ontario or Quebec and even in the United States. It didn't make sense. Our laborer is as ‘handworking and energetic as anyone in Can- ada. He could do the job at home. We could keep our natur- :11 growth in population ‘and thereby prevent the Dominion Bureau of Statistics from mak- ing the terrible costly mistake (that is to Prince Edward Is- land) which was made in over- estimating our population.
NEED HELP T00 “This is one example of what
we are doing for ourselves. The future is encouraging, but we
‘feel that the Federal Govern-
ment should assume some of the responsibility. -They are doing it for wheat in the West, why
east? This is a great country. Canada has prospered. In order to keep Canada prosperous no ‘part’ thereof must lag behind. We‘ are not beggars in the At- lantic Region. With a little en- couragement we can help our- selves. This help was given to their parts of Canada in days gone by. The provinces so help- ed are now self sustaining. We can do the same thing. What is there for the future? _We should plan for the things that may mean the most to us."
