o! the news of the trial was re- layed by telephone to Prague or London. ’ Some correspondents at Buda- pest indicated certain pressure was put on them to report in a manner most favorable to the prosecution, but there was no ev- idence this prcssllrg was success- ful.

Resident correspondents are at the mercy of the Hungarian gov- ernment, which also can screen foreign correspondents working there by withholding visas. Several London newspaper! and news agencies were refused visas on grounds there was insufficient time. A British government offic- fal said of this excuse: "NOB-Sell!!! -vlsas could have been Iffillifid in half an hour if they wanted."

Egg Production is Reported Steady

There has been no appreciable change in the egg and poultry market during the week. Produc- tlon is steady with quality good, re- ports Mr. F. M. Nash, supervising poultry products inspector. There hos been some accumulation of eggs on dealers floors and eggs will in all likelihood be packed for stor- age or driers. The demand for eggs from other Maritime points is slow and apparently production in this area is increased considerably. Three chick hatcherles are in oper- ation at the present time and this has the effect of absorbing eggs which otherwise would go into consumptive channels.

Registered egg grading station operators continue to quoti pro- ducers for ungrnded eggs AL 37, AM 35. AP 28, B 31, C 26.

Wholesalers are quoting for the graded pack loose, fob station. AL 41 1-2, AM 39 1-2, AP 33, B 35, C 30. Some wholesalers have reduced prices to retailers for the graded cnrtoncd pack and are now q ting Grade A Large 46, A Medium 44, B loose 38.

Since prices have been reduced from January, many retailers rc- port increased soles. Eggs are re- tailing to consumers in cartons A Large 53-4, A medium 51-52, B loose 45.

Mr. Nash suggests the following:

New Year's Resolutions

"1. Be it resolved that I will trike advantage of the ten to fifteen cents a dozen more that eggs bring from September to January‘ 15th. over eggs produced from January 31st to Soptember. I would pur- chase my chicks early, not later than March or April and have pul- leis laying by the first of Septem- ber nnd marketable chickens by August or September.

"2. Thnt I will make my flock more efficient through the use of the best possible labor saving methods and management. 1 will cut costs every way 1 can through greater efficiency.

"3. I will adopt a better feeding programme such as a good laying mush before the birds continually, supplemented with plenty of good fresh water, oyster shell and grit."

York said the Hungarian Govern- ment refused to permit it to send one or more American correspond- ents to Budapest for the trial on grounds AP already has a resid- cnt correspondent in Hungary. This correspondent, Ekidre Mar- ton, is an experienced reporter and editor who has represented AP at Budapest since January. 1946. The Hungarians previously expelled an American station in Budapest by AP»

(AP said its executives are cori- fident that Murlon "presented a factual report of what went on in the court-room?)

The Yorkshire Post Tuesday an article by Street Specialist" suggesting the Cardinal's sudden chan8¢ "cm protestation of innocence to ad- mission of guilt was due not.as barbeen suggested. to drugs but to days of continuous queetiolhg which broke down his strength.

A Times editorial today said Cardinal Mindszenty would have been convicted regardless how be had pleaded. It described him as another victim in,tbe continuing struggle between the Chlllfill Ind Communism.

(Correspondents of Hungarian nationality, the same as nationals of other countries in the Soviet sphere, face possible imprison- ment on such charges as espionage if they offend the Communist ro- gime. AP said its correspondent operated under iliose conditions, but he sent the following para- graphs last Monday:

(“While the Communist press strongly denounced the Cardinal as the court weighed its verdict, pro- minent Hungarian Catholics voiced

published "Harley

feeling of disbelief about the whole proceedings. - (“A group of important and fer-

vent Catbolics told this reporter they are simply unwilling to ac- knowledge that Cardinal Mlndsz- enty was anything other than a very strong defender of his faith.

("They said they feel there must have been some sort of trick. They said they did not believe the ‘eon- fessions‘ uttered by the Cardinal in court")

Rtx Hat's Report 1948

Fellow members of the Earl of Hillsborough Chapter of the I.0.D. E

As for the third, oonsecuzive year I come to bring you my report, It is with pleasure I thank you each and every member for your fine support and co-ctperation in the very important. and worth while work which we, with others across our great Dccninion are striving to do for the welfare of mankind.

As the years of the Second World War are passing more and more into vague memory, we all have a tendency to let up and reduce our energies. But as we read and study conditions everywhere and especial- ly in our beloved Mother Country- I am sure you will agree with me that the need for our best efforts are still very necessary and indeed imperative. We have only to think of the thousands of little children cold, hungry and crying for our help to spur us on to greater and great- er efforts to do what little we can to alleviate their sufferings.

Our work in the past year has been up to our usual standard. Lct us in 1949 make it even better.

We have lost several valued mem- bers but have added four new ones bringing our present membership to twenty. one

One fine item of our yearly ef- fort was centered in our work in the Provincial Sanatorium where weekly books are distributed to veterans etc. but our Educational Secretary will speak 0n this in greater detail.

In March we held a rummage sale which netted us the sum of $59 00.

Two large boxes of knitted gar- ments. nightles, alfgans, etc, were sent Overseas in May to the Al- location Centre in England.

iOur annual tag day in October brought in net proceeds of $220.65 In November we assisted the Royal Edward and Lucy Maud Montgom- ery Chapters in sending boxes of used clothing for men to our Over- seas bases.

One of the highlights of our year was ihc annual tea, which was held in Government House, December 8th. Mrs Bernard, our lion president graciously assisted in re- ceiving our guests. As in previous years, childrens knitted articles. aprons and novelties, as well as candy, pickles, jellies were sold $150.00 was realized.

1n December we sent $5.00 to each of the Pastors of the various churches in our city to help fill boxes for Christmas Cheer for the poor Also in December we ‘ ‘" ’ five boxes of food to three families in England.

At the present time we are pre- paring baby layettes to be shipped Overseas in the spring.

In closing let me again thank each member for their fine at- tendance and support in the year that has past.

Our efforts are not great but we do them in the spirit of loyalty and ctr-operation without which our work would be of no avaii.

Another year has passed and now as we enter on a new one may we realize we are privileged to be members of a fine organization. one which is worthy of our active support and loyalty.

This world in not our home-we are here on sufferanee-and our great Master has said that even a cup of water to our fellowmen is not overlooked in His sight

Let us then go forward ever re- membering the golden rule-and love our neighbors as ourselves.

Respectfully submitted.

Barbara 1/1.. Roper.
