Claiming that it was necessary on Prince Edward Island to work harder for a living than elsewhere. the Premier said that on his farm they worked from 5.30 ii.m. until 9 p.m. every day. "And the De- partment of Labour wants Ius to have the same rate of wages in the Maritime: as in the rest of Canada. Our farmers get only s4 cents where the Ontario farmer gets $1.11 for potatoes. The laiv of supply and demand should be allowed free play in these Provin- ces." he declared.

"We have forgotlfen how to work. If the farmers go foolish like the i people in the towns it will be just too bad for Prince Edward island."

Reviewing the historical back- ground Premier Jones cited the advances of Prince Edward Island until Confederation “when the people of these Provinces lost i their courage."

Staff Party

On Wednesday evening in the

Olympia banquet hall the staff or- ganization of R31‘. Holman Ltd.,

Bummerside, held the season's first of their regular staff parties, with a large number of employees and their friends attending.

Mr. Donald Baker entertained those present with an inimitable performance u "Jeanie" a Scotch lassie. “Jeanie” sang e. Scotch bal- lad in company with Mr. Bud Mountain, and later danced the highland fling and played a mouth organ solo.

Other specialties included sc- cordlon numbers by the popular Juvenile performer, Douglas Pin- eau; piano solos by Andrew Star- tin. Miscouche; a vocal solo by Marcella Martin, Miscouche; a vocal solo by Margaret Shaw, Summerside; and step-dancing by Messrs Felix Gallant and "Bebe" Bemerd; between specialities Mrs. Irene Peters entertained the sud- ience with piano numbers.

Mr. Wally Coulson, president of the staff organization, acted as master of ceremonies during the evening and introduced the vari- ous performers.

The greater part of the evening was spent in modern and old time dancing to the music of Iaoweii Huestis and his orchestra. A buf- fet lunch was served. _ S

ferred to and the hope expressed that an early report would bring news of implementation of the re- commendatioiis made.

Mr. E. A, Saunders, secretary, presented his report and express- ed doubts regarding the per cap- ita tax method of contributions from affiliated members, noting the poor response. His financial statement showed the healthy state of the organization.

Included in the secretary's re- port was a reference to the Guys- borough Railway on which s great deal of work was done before it was discontinued. Had it been finished it would have justified its entire cost during the Second World War. the report said.

Considerable attention was dir- ected to electrical development in the Maritime Provinces, the Bos- ton-Yarmouth steamship service, now discontinued, and a Canadian coast guard service.

The secretary's report noted that despite "somewhat hectic" conditions in a business way, the lzist report of the Dominion Bur- eau of Statistics shows an iii- crease in volume of business donc by departmental and other large stores in the Maritimes.

Considerable difficulty and un- certainty was caused by a num- ber of factors, These included the loss of the British apple market. reduced lumber purchases by Bri- tain—-onl_v one-third of the vol- ume In HMS-the dollar situation which affected fish consuming markets in the West Indies and elsewhere and unsettled conditions in Europe and far-eastern coun- tries.

But, despite all these. the busi- ness outlook was satisfactory.
