rangemcnts were made to form a committee for civil defence in the Rustico area and a resolution was passed which endorsed the program being carried out by the minister In charge of civil defence. Hon. J. W. Arsenault.

In his talk on civil defence, Pate gave a short preview of the world situation as he saw it. He was es- pecially critical of Americans in high positions who attack their government and espouse the cause of isolationism.

Rev. Eric Robin was chairman of the meeting and introduced Pate to the audience of veterans present. He also spoke briefly and stressed the need for cooperation and coord- ination on the part of various org- anizaticns in any effective civil de- fence program.

Appointed Supervisor at Budgets For Gilli

MONTREAL, Dec. 22 - The up- pointment of John W. Grant al supervisor of budgets. Canadian National Railways, with head- quarters at Montreal. was announ- ced here today by T. H. Cooper. vice-president of the ayalem. Ho succeeds W. J. Mansfield who has retired under the pension rules of the company. ,

Mr. Grant was born at Glasgow. Scotland. on- June 10, 1893. and entered the service of the Grand Trunk Railways as an instrument- man in the engineering depart- ment at Belleviile in February. I913. From November 1914 to November lBlB he served with the Royal Field Artillery in France and Belgium. On his return to Canada he became assistant on- gineer in the valuation department at Montreal. The following year -he moved to Portland as coat ac- countant in the transportation de- partment. and in July 1923 he want to the engineering dipartmem, of the Canadian National Railways. at Toronto. as Iaalatant engineer. In July 1929. he transferred to the accounting department there as engineei-mg accountant. and k: Oc-

tober IMB was made aocuuntant..

Potato Price

special emphasis is placed in his weekly market review by Mr. W. R. shew, Deputy Minister of Agricul- ture, on the important announce- ment during the week by the Po- tato Marketing Boards of New Brunawick and Prince Edward Is- land, to the effect that a minimum price has been set as of Tuesday under potatoes. The annoimcement by the Boards sets the price of Irish Gobblzr or sebago certified seed in Prince Ed- ward Island at 45 cts. per bushel. Mountains and Katabdlne at so eta. per bushel. and tabler ' at 45 cts. per 75 lb. bag or as cta. per bushe" all such prices to be paid and quot- ed to producers in respect to bulk graded stock ddiivered by the pm- ducers at Prince Edward Island shit i ints.

PD 118 D0 by the

A further order issued Board prohibits the consignlng of potatoes with or from Prince Ed- ward blind.

"No doubt a few minor difficult- ies will be experienced at first with this order," states Mir. Shaw; "but it is not antlcipetod that there will be any pariouiar disability as is re- sult. As a matter of fact the order. we believe. is in conformity with the expressed 'ntentions of the Boards and of the great majority of dealers.

should Help Stability

"men prices should have the effect of providing a measure of strength and stability to the market and a confidence in all branches of the industry. It is true that in or- der to finish loadings now going on. certain commitments may have been made for the purchase of potatoes to fill definite order: and there may be a period of adjustment dur- ing which the market may have to build. up from commitment levels to the minimum price declared.

"While the orders of the Board in this connection are very defin- ite there will no doubt be I: tend- ency to recognize realities in the situation. and during at least a short transition period necessary establishment between the market and the minimum price will un- doubtediy receive every considera- tion. During this short period grow- ers may not immediately secure these new prices and I would very strongly urge that supplies be mov- ed steadily to market at previously committed levels until the situa- tion normaily adjusts itself under the influence of a. completely legal. y. and required directive.

"During the past week confer- encq have been held between rep- resentatives of the New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island Boards and Departmental authorities. The whole potato situation was again thoroughly canvassed and furthe- representations have been made to Ottawa authorities on matters as- sociated with industry support. There was an expressed desire to negotiate further in this connec- tion and it is anticipated that dis- cussions will be conducted in rela- tion to plans for improvement.

At present, Mr. Shaw notes. the potato market is in the holiday doldrums and potato life. which was more or less aenemic during the whole fall, is now in a rather weakened condition. Owing to the condition of telephicuics and tele- graphic services, and the busy Christmas season, it has been im- possible to secure quotations from outlying points. It would look, however. as though a slow domestic
