By STUART IINDIJRHILL LONDON. June l0 — (GP) — Britain's Food Ministry has a planning headache to match its ll,4f7l,0tl0,0il0 (05153013110900) Y?!“ iy business responsibilities.

Next year, in collaboration with

the Ministry of Agriculture. 10 must set the minimum prices that farmers are i0 receive for deliver- ies of milk, cattle, sheep,‘pigs and eggs in 19M, Some Whlthnll observers are predicting that the ministries will “talk tough" —- that farm prices which have climbed steadily since i039 twill begin to point down.

But they must also try to retain the good will of the agriculture in- dustry, which is counted on to ex- pand production steadily and help reduce food imports from dollar KRIS.

Actual prices are set following a yearly review with the National Farmers Union, but they cannot fall below the minima set in ad- vance.

Where poultry and livestock pro- ducts are concerned, the Agricul- ture Act of 1M7 provides that the scale must be known four years in advance, in order to help produc- ers plan ahead.

Such lengthy safeguards are not provided in the case of the other agricultural products for which the act orders prices arantees — wheat, barley. oats. e, potatoes and sugar beet.

Of the grain crops, wheat is most tightly controlled by the Food Ministry, which buys from the farms and handles distribution to the millers. It is also the crop most encouraged, even in the sacrifice oi land better suited to livestock.

Other crops are bought onlv when the farmers are unable to find normal outlets at minimum prices.

Meat is another commodity that is rigidly controlled, its purchase and distribution being handled by wholesale meat. associations in which ‘(the Ministry is the majority shareholder.

The supply of blood placed in the Maritime Bank by Prince Ed- ward Islanders during the clinics conducted in Charlottetown and Summer-side last December has now been very much over-drawn, it was 'learned yesterday. Some 1.000 donations were received at these Clinics but a great many more bottles of blood have been used for the treatment of patients in this Province through all the hospitals with excellent results The supply, however, must be maintained.

"The people of our Island have always been noted for their out- standing contributions to worthy causes and their willingness to donate their blood has slresdv been demonstrated by the won- derful response to the clinics which-have already been held," said a local Red Cross official. Preparations are now underway for another visit of the mobile unit from the Maritime Red Cross blood transfusion service at Hali- fax which ‘will hold clinics at Summersicle, Charlottetown, Mon- iague and Souris on June 28. 29 and 30. This time the objective will be 600 donations so that; the Bank will be built up for the next three months when the Unit will come back again.

Announces Plans

Lt. Col. Leo F. Macdonald, pro- vincial chairman of the Red Cross Blood Donor Committee, revealed that it is planned to have donors from the districts surrounding the centres where the clinics are being held report to give their dona- tions at the times advertised.

For example, at Montague it is hoped that donors will go in from Iioxivcr Montague. Georgetown, Cardigan. Rosyneatb. New Perth and Kilmuir. At the last clinic held in Charlottetown during March, several people came from a long distance to donate. At this time of the year it should be possible for people from as far as I-lunier River and Vernon River. from Bonshnw and Tracadie, to re- port at the Charlottetown Clinic.

If this plan is followed in the four centres at which Clinics are being held this time, then the 1's- land will once more retain its re- cord for outstanding contributions. nnd iho Blood Bank will have an adequate supply to meet the needs for transfusion which are increas- ing daily.

QUEBEC, June l0 - (C?) The Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities today concluded its 12th annual conven- tion with election of its officers for next year and the election of Saskatoon as venue oi’ its conven- tion next year.

Mayor George C. MacLean of St. Boniface, Men, was elected president of the Federation by

more than 400 mayors of municip- alities who attended the conven- tion. Two special committees on hous- ing and Dominion-Provincial rela- tions were named t0 prepare a study to be presented at the 1949- 50 convention. Alderman J.O. As- selln. President of the Montreal Metropolitan Commlslon was cho- sen chalrm-an of the special com- mittee on housing. Mayor Edward Wilson of Verdun. Que. heads the Commission of Dominion-Provin- cial Relations. The appointment of these com- m-ittees follows the general trend of the week-long convention dur- ing which various speakers stress- ed need for greater collaboration between Dominion, Provincial and municipal governments. This they felt would help solve many mun- icipal problems which they said were national in character. Among the several problems dis- cussed were housing, civil defence, and unemployment relief. Though mayors are seeking more help from the Federal and Provincial Gov- ernments they did not vi-ant munic- ipalities to become "wards" of the higher governmental authorities. Mayor Macliean succeeds Mayor Lucien Borne of Quebec, retiring president who will sit on the ex- ecutive as honorary president.

Vice-presidents elected include‘ B-E- .Mt1CDonald. Charlottetown; A,T. Mason, Springhill, N.S., and E.W. Patterson, Saint John. Mayor JS. Mills of Saskatoon. was named honorary secretary and Mayor PH. Boivln of Granny. Que, honorary treasurer.

Continues ii Plan fish Drying flan!

MI’. George Wahl has returned to the Island and states from his hotel in Rusiico that he is making further arrangements towards the completion of the artificial fish drying plant at the airport.

It will be recalled that, in the late summer last year, the firm of George Wahl and Associates was organized to set up an artificial fish drying plant on a large scale at. the local airport.

A 300 x 60 foot building was leased from the Provincial Gov- ernment and Mr. Wahl still re- tains the lease on this building.

Fish-drying machinery to be in- stalled was stated to be able to dry salt fish for the Southern market in a couple of hours.

it was proposed last year that. such a plant would be able to pro- cess ali the cod and bake caught in Island waters as well as the catch of the trawling fleets from Caraquet and Shippegan in Nortli- ern New Brunswick.

It was expected that such a plant here would employ some fifty to seventy-five men during the late fall and winisr months.
