Immediate action to provide a new car ferry until a causeway can be constructed between Prince Edward Island and the mainland was asked. last evening in a resolution at the concluding session of the meeting of the Re- tail Merchants Association of P. E. I. in Summerside.
The meeting re-elected J. F. Jenkins of Summerside as its president, and heard an address of taxation by Arnold Rands, of Toronto, Central Manager, Nat- ional Food Division, Retail Mer- chants of Canada. and a report by Leo F. MacDonald of Chiar- lottetown, vice chairman of the P. E. I. Hospital insurance com- mittee, on the progress and act- ivities of this committee.
In addition to president J. F. Jenkins, other officers elected at the meeting were W. M. Ellis, Central Royalty, first vice presi- dent: Sheldon Dixon, North Tryon, second vice president and James Burleigh. Ellel‘slie, secre- tary.
Other members of the executive include: J. R. MacLean, Souris; W.G. Ellis, Springfield West; Athol Cotton, Kensi-ngton; Ralph Burns, Freetown; Antoine Rich- ard, Mount Carmel; W. J. Mac- Lean, Winsloe; William Mac— Ewen, New London and D. S. Ross, Eldon.
PROPOSED LEGISLATION After welcoming remarks to the R.M._A. members by A. H. Hub- ley, president of the Summerside Board of Trade, Alan Holman in- troduced Leo F. MaDonald, of the hospital _ insurance committee, who said that the committee is now Working on proposed legis- lation to present to the provincial government.
He said it appeared that the estimated $2 million cost of the plan would have to come from a premium payment plan, a sales tax plan, a combination of these two, or from provincial govern- ment consolidated revenue.
He told the R.M.A. members that they should not feel that they were being manuvered into a position of being asked to for- mulate government policy regard- ing the possible impontion of a 5 es tax, and said that the pur- pose of the R.M.A. committee on this matter is only to get their vieWS and opinions, and to enable the R.M.S. members to study the broad question of financing the proposed plan.
In his report as president of the R.M.A. for the past year, J. Frank Jenkins recalled the asso- ciations activities during that period, and noted the termination of the initial buying and advent-is- ing program of the R.M.A.
He said this program has been replaced by two well-organized. voluntary buying groups. He said the majority of members have re- cognized the importance of being associated with such a group be- cause the members are then on an equal basis witlizall competi- tion in relation to both purchas- ing and sales programs. Supervision, services and infor— mation are available to members Comparable to that provided by the largest and most modern na- tional organizations of the in- dustry, he. said.
FOOD SHOW
Referring to the R. M. A. of Ontario annual food show. he sug-
briefly. Mll‘. and Mrs. Everett Glover, Norbero, parents of the bride, were introduced and res- ponded graciously.
A social hour followed and a bountiful lunch was served by several'of the ladies. BUR
gested the possibility of a project of this kind could be undertaken successfully in P.E.I. by the R. M. A. and could include certain farm and fishery products.
One of the important matters dealt with during the year. he said, was initial action to co- operated with national offices in the establishment and suiting up of a small business loan fund.
Mr. Jenkins said a “Fair com- petition code" now in effect in Alberta is presently receiving consideration by a national com- mittee. The essence of this code, he said, is the abolition, by pro- vincial legislation, of questionable and unethical retailng methods.
In concluding his report, Mr. Jenkins said, “Modern business is becoming so complicated and competitive that the keynote of efficiency and success seems in- creasingly to be centred around the concept of cutting costs and streamlinging production”. TAXATION TOPIC
With “taxation” as his topic. the guest speaker, Mr. Rands, said the ability to approach tax matters in a realistic and logical manner is very important if re- tailers expect governments to ‘is- ten seriously to them when they make representations dealing with taxation.
Mr. Rand dealt with the gen- eral structure of sales taxation in Canada, imposed by three lev- els of government federal, provincial and municipal.
He said general manufacturers sales tax, passed in 1920, was converted into a single stage tax in 1924. Since then, it was ap— plied only on the price at the factory, regardless of the point at which it was collected. ‘
It applied, he said, to the sale of all good-s except those which are specifically extempted.
In 1945. said Mr. Rands, mach inery and some other things used in the production of goods were expempted from taxation, how- ever. some producers' goods and nearly all goods used in distri- bution are still taxed. This, he said. not only complicates ad- ministration, but creates elements of multiple taxation that are un- dersirable, particularly when the tax is supposed to be single stage in application.
The excise tax, a second federal “sales” tax, must not be confused with excise duties. Excise taxes are applied to specific items at specific rates.
SALES TAX
Provincial- sales taxes, like their federal counterpart, cove: everything that is not specfi ically exempted. These, said Mr. Rands. now operate in five provinces, and on the first day of the new year, NoVa Scotia will also follow suit under its Hosoital Tax Act.
In Newfoundland, New Bruns- wick, and Saskatchewan the tax is three per cent. ard will also be three per cent in Nova Scotia. British Columbia charges five per cent, and while the Quebec rate is two per cent. Quebec can authorize municipal sales taxed to bring the rate up to six per cent, which includes a recent increase of one per cent for municipal purposes.
New Brunswick, he said, has the distinction of being the first province to recognize the evil of taxing producers' goods, and of all the provinces using reta'l sales tax, New Brunswick is the only one that ,allows exemption on producers’ goods, and Nova Scotia intends to do likewise in this respect.
MAY BE JUSTIFIED
Retailers have good reason for their instinctive dislike of sales taxes which reduce the buying
power of the public, and increase
RMA Calls For immediate Action On New Car Ferry
accounting costs for retailers, yet, he said, they may be just- ified and in the public interest.
The time will come, Mr. Rands predicted, when retailers will m. prepared to review the entire sales tax structure, and at such time. retailers should be prepared to consider proposed changcsin the British North America Act affecting sales taxation.
The position of the Retail Mer- chants Asociation is quite clear on this matter. and is opposed to provincial retail taxes because they discourage independent re- tail growth, he said.
“Your provincial government may decide there is no alterna- tive to a sales tax for collecting the funds necessary to maintain its hospital service plan, and if this is the final decision, you should accept the fact, but you also should make sure that the most enlightened plan possible is adopted with all due regard to the essential exemption”, he stated.
Concluding his Rands said. “nevertheless, we consider the provincial retail sales tax to be an unsound me- thod of taxation because it is costly to collect, it does not co".- Sldel‘ the taxpayer’s ability to pay, because it reduces purchas- ing power so that a person’s in- come will buy less goods and services. It is an unjust burden on the retailer. it added. to the cost of distribution, and it weak- ens the competitive position of retailers”.

Visits Island After 25 Years
Among the many visitors to our! lsland Pro-Vince during the past four months was Mrs. Frank Ne- well, the former Miss Ruth Keough, whose birthplace wa 5 Christopher Cross, near Tignish.
Mrs. Nowell was a young girl attending school when her fam- ily decided to dispose of their farm and household goods and journey to Massachusetts to make for themselves a new home. It was in Boston, Mass, that Mrs. Nowell completed school. She was employed for several years in the book-keeping department of one of Boston’s largest and best known business houses be- fore marrying Mr. Frank Newell. They then moved to Millis, Mas- sachusetts, whre they established a. home and where their family were born. Very often Mrs. Ne- well’s thoughts would return to her old home on P.E. Island but it was not until this autumn and twenty-five years after leaving, did she return to make a visit. Although few landmarks or fam- iliar faces could be found, she did find that she, her husband, their son James and daughter, Miss Marion, also Mr. Harold Keou-gh and his daughter Miss Kathleen received a hearty Iwel- come from trends and neighbors, living in her ormer home town. Although their vacation was a short one this year, they receiv- ed many sincere and kind in- vitations to return again next summer and visit longer with relatives who still reside here and with former friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Nowell and their party were all residents of Milli: Massachusetts, and while here were the guests of Mrs. Alonzo Keough and her son Mr. Wal- cott Keough alt Christopher Cross.

MARTIN'S GARAGE
254 Queen Street
By DAVE McINTOSH Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (OP) — Possibility that plans to acquire the Bomarc guided missile for Canadian air defence will eventually be can- celled is being mentioned by some officials here.
The Bomarc is scheduled to come into operation at two Cana- dian bases in 1961 as a defence against manned bombers.
But by that time, some officials say. the manned bonlber will no longer be the main air threat against the North American con- tinent.
These authorities 'say Canada now should place most of its em- phasis in the air delfen-ce field on the countersinissile-atthat is, de- fence against the intercontinental ballistic missile.
TOP PRIORITY
The Defence Research Board has already given top priority to this project. Its scientists soon will employ United States Nike— Cajun rockets to carry nose-cone- fuls of instruments into space as part of their reseanch into the detection and tracking of long- range mism'les.
Next year, board scientists will fire their own instrument-bearing rockets as part of their experi- ments in development of solid- ‘1 propellants for a counter- . iissile.
US. Air Force Secretary James Douglas said recently that Russia will have a small numlber of in- tercontinental ballistic missiles ready for operational use in 1969. The Us. Army announced last month award of a $135,000,000 contract to Western Electric Com- pany for rapid development of

Defence Minister Pearkes last week dropped a possible hint that the Bomanc may never come into operational use in Canada.
He said the manned bomber is becoming obsolete, although it must still beregarded as a threat to this continent.
Mr. Pearkes at the same time left little doubt that the sniper- sonic Arrow interceptor develop- ment program will be cancelled outright by next spring. He said the plane had "outlived its use- fulness before it was fully devel- oped.”
There is a segment of RCIAF opinion which questions this state- ment.
