Dairy Industry

"The dllry industry underwent considerable expansion. Over 5,. 795.000 Douxlds of creamery butter were uced. an increase of "'5/° °‘’°‘' "10 Previous year. Cheese production amounted to 557509 Pounds. almost 5% better l-hln Drevicus production. The oy. ersll estimate of total milk pro- duced was almost 10% over that of last year.

“A great expansion also occiu-_ red in manufacturing facilities. Central creameries made extens- iva additloru Y-O their plant 111 which there is now being manu- factured. in addition to butter and ice cm-m. evaporated milk, whole milk and Kim milk powder. In Prim County six rural dairy con- cerns were amalgamated in-to a new company known as “Amalga. mated Dairies Limited". These two organizations handle the bulk or the dairy products of this Pro- vlnce.

"During 1062. despite an exten- sive educational program, highway fatalities had reached almost al- arming proportions with no less than 24 deaths attributable to the operation of motor vehicles. We thought it advisable to appoint a special examiner whose duties would include the passing of all applicants seeking licenses as well as the training of all new licens- ees. At the same time he was in- structed to carry on a further educational program designed to impress upon all motor vehicle operators the necessity of careful

' driving.

“We thought that such an over- all program continued throughout the years would certainly raise the driving standards and soreduce the number of accidents fatal and otherwise.

"We believe that during the short space oi one year this pro- gram is proving itself, for we have only had six deaths, due to motor vehicles, during that period.

"We hope the trend will contin- us until we can report to this House a succession oi years with- out any iatal accidents.

"The routine work of policing the Province has been carried on by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police with a force augmented from 37 to 40 with the additional personnel specifically intended for highway patrol.

“The work of this force. the number of investigations made, czoalls of serious and other crimes is outlined in the report which was tabled in this House some weeks ago and requires no further

reference here. "The expenditure of this depart-

“During the year 1903-54 provis- ion wa_s made for a uniform high school course to the end of Grade XI and the new program came into operation upon the reopening of “ ' in September. 1063. "The program of rural school improvements continues without any slackening oi interest. The full appropriation of $80,000 to- gether with a supplementary vote of $18.01!) was allocated to the various districts. For the coming year this vote has been increased to $110,000 with the provision that it may be used not only for rural school building and general im- provements but_also for building and equipping rural high schools. "The increase at $5.000 textbook subv enabled tha school Supply Branch to continue to pro- vide textbooks at little or no in- crease in cost. Publishers’ prices of textbooks continue to rise. It is proposed, therefore, to further increase this suhvention by an ad- ditional $6.000. bringing the total of the subventlon to $35,00(l. “With a View to continuing the policy of the Government with re- spect to nlary increases for teach- ers, it is proposed to increase the salaryofali teachers by scam and further to provide for an addit- ional $50.00 payment for record or service. This latter would mean service increunerits at the begin- ning of the third, sixth, ninth, twelfth, and fifteenth year oi ser- vice.

Industry And Natural Resources

"During the present fiscal year this Department will have spent $200,167 on Ordinary Account and some $150,575 by way of advances. loans and items of a capital nat-

re.

Fisheries Division: To date 10 drag-gers have been financed by the Fishermen’: Loan Board, six of which fished the full season and the other four commenced operations later on during the season. The biggest expansion in ofishore fishing took place at Souris where draggers landed more than 5,000,000 lbs. of fish.

“The establishment of a fish processing plant at sourls two years ago provided the facilities to process and package the total landings during the season and exported fillets in excess of $280,- 000 in value. In addition. fish meal was manufactured with a market value of more than $38,000.

“Lobster landings continued to form the backbone of the Island fishing industry. Notwithstanding a decrease of 1.! million pounds in total landing last year. the landed value increased nearly $200,000.

“In order to assist fishermen to recover from the disastrous storm loss last May. a Trap Loss Loan Committee was sat up which to date has imutigatcd more. than five hundred applications. and loans are now being made on ap- plications approved for replace- ment oi traps and gear.

"During the past year, the De- partmcnt..through the I"ishermen's Loan Board, continued its work of assisting the fishermen in the purchase of boats and engines. An additional $lm,000 was advanced to the Board during this present fiscal year. bringing the total to date to $200000.

Forestry Division: The establish- ment of a Tree Nursery at Beach Grove two years ago at which time a large quaritity of seed was planted. is producing an abundant quantity oi seedlings which it is anticipatod will meet the demand in future years.

"Each year more people are be coming interested in planting and particularly in woodlot manage- ment. At the present time the Deputment is preparing a booklet on "Native Trees of Prlncolldward Island" which should be available for distribution early next year and should prove valuable tothose interested in Forestry.

"Transportation: The long argu- ment in connection with Prince Edward Island being one some has been recently settled. We were successful, in co-operation with seven other Provinces, in prevent- ing at least one increase in freight rates. In the actual movement of freight and passengers we have received splendid cooperation from the Canadian National Railways and I believe there is a better understanding and general feelinc of mutual co-operation between the Province and the Canadian National Railways than has exist- ed for some years.

"Improvements are much to be desired at Wood Islands and we

are hopeful that such will take place soon.

"Last summer an early morning

trip of the car ferry at Borden was in eflect £ll‘.(l proved a great convenience to many people and this continued service in 1054 will be a considerable benefit not only from a commercial point oi view but also as an aid to the tourist industry. “Farm Improvement Service: The service rendered by this div- lsion or the Department continues to expand. The equipment was busily engaged from early spring until late fall stumping. clearing. grading and moving buildings.

"Fish and Game Development: The policy of the past few yours in creating additional public ang- ling areas was continued. A new pond was created on the Bruden- ell River. and another on the Souris Line Road on a stream emptying into Big Pond. In addi- tion, Blanchard’s dam at Tig-nish was rebuilt and a fish ladder in- stalled at Jay's dam. Pisquid.

"Assistance was also given in restoring a number of ponds,con- sldered popular and productive areas, which were lost early-in the spring due to heavy ireshets.

"General: In order to furtlicr assist the fishing industry, plans are being prepared for the con- struction of a dragge-r haul-up at Georgetown to provide our dragger fishermen with facilities to dock their boats under water mainten- lnce.

“Last summer a new geological survey began in this Province, as urged in m_v Budget Speech of last spring. This survey is a very thor- ough one and will take three more summers‘ work to complete It is being made by the Department of Mines and Technical Survey at Ottawa, with the full cooperation of the Dcpartinciit of Iniiustiry and Natural Resources.

Public Works And Highways

"Heavy demands for improved highway services continue. result- ing in increased expenditures. both on Oi'di'nai'y Account and Capital Projects. The total eiopendiiture for the year on hlghI\v\'lI)'§, bridges, etc.. alone, exclusive of snow re- moval, amounted to $2,554,700. Maintenance $693,000, Capital $1,- 86l,'IO0I, or only $16,800 less than the estimate of last spring.

"On Maintenance Account-

"54 miles were heavily ditched;

"By the use of tractor-scraper units some 285,000 cubic yards of fill placed:

“Altcr extensive patching some 66.4 miles of seal coating was ap- plied to existing pavements:

“l5.l miles of the usual asphalt and stone chips oi.lig*ht pavement were also completed;

"40 miles of pavement marked with a. white centre line; and 140 miles of road brush Spl'3._\«'8d with a quick in in: preparation.

"On Cap tal Account-—

"Six miles oi standard pa/vemcnt on the A-rnett Road:

"'72 miles of light pzivcmmt;

“Z06 milvs of roads built to standard specifications; and over 84 miles cleared oi trecs. -

"In addition to the above. 4% bridges. including” the Montague bridge. and large culverts were re- built or extensively repaired dur- ing the your. 'I‘wciily-oiie of these were in Prince County, fourteen in Queen's County and the bal- ance of thirteen in King's County.

"At the present time 40 snow plow units are available to combat future snow storms.

“Further to the above, the fol- lowing buildings were either com- pleted or started during the year:

"Boiler room at Falconiwoodz

"Beach Grove barn, and 1 Treat- ment Centre also at Falconwood.

Health And Welfare

"Two or three years ago I re- called the growth and expansion of the services rendered by this Department as well as the corres- ponding incrcascs in cost.

"During the ciirrcnt your the expenditure on Ordinary Account, exclusive of Old Age Assistance. $1,585,699 or about $98,000 more than that spent invthe fiscal year 1962-53. Despite this increase over the last fiscal year the Depart- ment managed to provide all its essential services at ii cost, includ- ing Old Age Assistance, of 51,- 760,609 or $72,305 less than we had appropriated for the purpose.

"The care and treatment of tu- berculosis patients cost the Prov- ince $302,308 of which amount $285,000 was for the operation oi the Provincial Sanatorium. some $305,000 was spent for the treat- ment and care of mental patients. while expenditures for the aged and inilrm at Beach Grove am- ounted to 8120.000 aside from the maintenance cost oi the buildings. namely $23,500.

"Per diem grants to aid the public hospitals involves an ex- penditure oi $150,000.

There Ought To Be A La

"In Welfare $51,200 was went on social aslstanse: 131.000 on the maintenance oi neglected chil- dren; $66,500 on mothers’ allow- ances; $38,000 on blind pensions and some $115,000 on old age as- sistance.

"The opening of a new Health Centre in summon-side and the es- tablish-ment of various clinics has been a great help to the western part of the Province.

Provincial Secretary

“Tourist i Information Branch: During the. year 1053 the usual promotion program such as news- paper advertising, publication stor- ies, and the showing oi films was carried out by the Travel Bureau and reached a potential tmirist audience in most parts of Canada and Eastern Un-lted states. some 300,000 pieces oi literature were distributed.

"The most extensive single pro- motion project undertaken last year was the production of a six- teen minute colour sound travel- ogue showing the tourist attrac- tions of the Province. The film was aimed solely at showing a vis- itor why he should come to Prince Edward Island, what he should see and do when he gets here This film will be used over a per- iod of five to ten years as a. lead- ing promotion piece in advertising the Province. It will be given wide distribution in Canada and the United States.

"The Ragweed elimination cam palgzi was further vigorously car- ried on and I think I am justified in saying that this bane to sui- ierers of hay fever has been prac- tically overcome."

Former School Teacher is Now

A Top Canadian

Stamp Dealer

(By Bruce Hogle) (Canadian Press Staff Writer) WINNIPEG, (GP) A former

Saskatchewan school to ac h e r, whose motto is "even a turtle has to stick out its neck to get any- where," has built his boyhood stamp collection into an enter- prise that makes him one oi Can- ada's top stamp dealers.

Kasimir Bileski. 45, rrcenlly re- turned from Cairo where he bought more than $40,000 worth of stamps from the collection oi former king Farouk.

Mr. Bile-ski, known as "KB" to philatelists. is reluctant to talk about his business but his stock amounts to 100,011,000 stamps. He has a staff of seven to help oper- ate his business which occasion- ally takes him on flights around the world in search of rare items.

Mr. Bilcaki has that one, as well as one of the used stamps.

Mr. Bileski has an autographed picture or Adolph Hitler and sev- eral envelopes addressed to him. They do not relate directly to stamps but it was through a phil- atelist acquaintance that he ac- quired lhc collection. It is not for sale. Mr. Bile-ski said the booty was obtained from a Uiiiteristatns secret service member who para- chuleri near Hitler-‘s chancollory in the Second World War.

Not content in on idle for a minute, Mr. Bileskl now has launched an enterprise that may go on for years - gathering facts about western Canada's earliest, settlers. He has also started col- lecting rare maps and now prizes two maps made in 1775, eastern and Western Canada.
