supply Picture Cloudy

‘ At the afternoon meeting of the ,F'.AD.A., on the opening day Mr. General-Manager, told dealers that the supply pic- ture was cloudy and that there was no expectation of any sub- stantial increase in production for some time. The backlog of unfilled orders was probably the biggest of any in the retail field and the ‘dealer experienced no selling troub-

but rather the reverse.

Mr. Moore did not expect any price reductions for some time to come and did not foresee that prices would go back to where they were. The only thing that could make them go back would be s JIGUCUOB in wages to former levels. And, he added, I don't think we want to see wages, salaries and

i t Effproliis go back to those levels.

The Musical Fcetlvel Annual Meeting

(By a Corrlwndesat)

Those who attended the annual meeting of the Prince Edward Is- land Musical Festival held early this week listened with intense in- terest to the reports of the 1h. ecutive officers and heads of com- mittees but of the hundreds ofcit- izene who attended the sessions, few, including the writer have any conception of the amount of work entailed to bring this educational and entertaining wcek to its very successful conclusion.»

The President, Mr, Barry Bug. den expressed his "appreciation to the committees and heads of com- mittees individually for their ef- forts -on behalf of the Festival re- cently concluded. but I would like to tdke this opportunity of ex- tending my sincerest therike‘ to you all. The great strides ahead. both in number of entries, and quality or work done hy contest- ants, shows that your work has been appreciated, and that it is adding a great deal to the musical education of our Island Province."

Mr. Bugden spoke particularly of the excellent work of the pegge- tary. Mrs. Edwin Cooke of Park- dale, saying that,it is workers of her calibre that will lead us around the rough spots in our Musical Festival work,

Listening to the Secretary's n. port was a reminder that the old Buying is true - if you want s lob dime. so to a busy man. Prom the annual meeting, through to the next Festival, the number of de. tails to be attended to by the secretary is almost unbelieveable and during the Festival week must be on hand at every session to see that everything runs smoothly.

The treasurer, Mrs. V.M. Hud. son reported on the finances of the Festival which showed that the Association is in a healthy condition financially. A11 other committees were heard frcm, and although they cannot be reported separately, it must be said that a great deal of credit for the suc- cess of the Festival was due to the untiring efforts qf these commit. tee members. innumerable allege, such as lack of sufficient music, or music arriving late, or wrong mu- sic were overcome one by one, by their dnsged persistence, with the result that when the actual time oi the Festival arrived, everything was in order and working as smoothly as possible.

The Prince Edward Island Mue- ical Festival has grown, since its inception s. few years ago, in leaps and bfliind-B. and each year the in- terest by the musi loving public has increased with Lines by Sir Walford Davies, quoted by the Secretary at the conclusion of her report, describe in a few words the aims and objects of our Prince Edward Island Musical yrestival Association.
