Follow“): the President's report of the‘ year's activities. Mrs. Mo. Callum gave a short talk on Jun. for Rod Cross work, she-wing the advantages accru ng from it; act- ivitles.

The Director of Education, M1‘. L-w- 901W, spoke on "Profession- al Leadership".

"As a learned profession "Mr. Shaw said, "we lack leadership. We have in this province, apart from [1 19W 6601165, a very immature teaching body. Is it not possible to have the larger centres like ch“- lottetvwn and Suuimerslde give more constructive leadership to the Province? To a certain extent we have had better results in serurlng teachers for the Province. Last year, 25 schools had no teachers; this, only 12. Last year, 120 per- mits were issued to teachers; this year. only 53.”

Mr. Shaw referred to the mat- ter of salary, shovring that the in- 6118-56 had not held many more teachers, nor has it brougiht many into the profession. There is still a revulsion by young people against the profession.

Some reasons other than that of salary were suggested by the speak- er. The Department can give load- ership. but wiiihin the ranks of the teaching profession itself, load- enhip can be more effective. In this connection, the Dreeior re- ferred to the Educational Fbruzn. conducted through the co-opera- tive efforts of Department, Feder- ation, and parents. Results are much to be commended. “By increas- ed professional training at college, and in service training we" Mr. Show laid, “are hoping to improve the prestige of theprofeeslon. 1n July and Augusta-100. a. school war coud _ forgive iweelu. with‘ .

Yield 0S Late - Sown

Crops Reported Down

(By The Canadian Press)

OTTAWA. Oct. 10—-Poor grow- ing weather has cut most late- aown crops. roots and potatoes. the Dominion Bureau of Statistics reported today in its second esti- mate of production of these crops.

Canada's potato crop this year will amount to 48,000,900 hundred- weight-ii) per cent lower than the 40,000,000 liundredweight pro- duced lest year But with acreage and yield per acre both below last year‘: record illures. the I047 crop will still be the fourth largest lines 14.

bower yields in the Maritimes are partly compensated for by increased production in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. wbiis produc- tion in Ontario and Quebec has declined almost 1,0Q,000 hundred- weigbt. British fumble‘: decline is lea than 000. hundrldwlllht.

1940 production of 783,500 tons. with acreage and yield both re. duced, the latter by unfavorable seeding conditions.

Production of shelled corn has suflered a sharp decline with an output of only 0.700.000 bushel: in prospect lninlt last year’: figure of 10,700,000 bushels.

1W9, gr.r>f..é&r.. e"yesr"l 7 was winter period was particularly free fromunowand farm lands were either-bars or coveredi with ice for the greater portion of this period. The cropping season opened at a fairly early period with fine wea- ther prevaillng, during which quan- tities of grain were sowed in the dryer sections of the country. This was followed, however. by ex- ceptionally heavy rainfall which continued throughout May and June.

As a result, seeding operations were seriously impeded and grains and potatoes in many Instances were planted much later than is usually the practice. The main part of the summer was character- ized by extremely dry weather. The most serious“ results from these conditions were experienced in the hay and pasture crops.

The dry summer of 1946 and the adverse winter of 1047 followed by lack of rainfall in the current sea- son played havoc with hay produc- tion. and particularly that of clo- ver. As a result the volume of hay harvested is possibly the lowest for the last twenty year period, while the production of valuable clover forage may be as 10w as any year in our history.

Pastures were retained at a reasonably good level during July but gradually dried out and pro- vided grazing for the balance of the season of an extremely inferior character.

Grain: which felt th: impact l! drouth condition: ripened up I many instances very rapidly and it was anticipated that the yield of grains would be much below that of : normal season. Reports however, indicate that yields of oats :nd mixed feeds are remark- ably high.

TEURD, N.B.. Oct. 10 — H3. McOurdy of Sydney. N.S., Maritime Synod commissioner of the Pres- byterian Church in Canada, said here today "legal action through the civil courts for libel l: under consideration against Rev.

Mr. MoCurdY. returning to his home from a Synod annual meet- ing in Charlottetown. said the ac- tion was considered ".11 view of the action of the Synod in refusing to read the minutes of the Rcck- wood church trial."

Infant Is Located

(By The Camdius Prell)

The move to re-operi in Quebec Province the plants hit by the month-long strike of packinghouse workers was reported “gathering steam" as supplies such u canned goods and shortening left Mont- real plants, customer-bound, to- day.

These supplies had been kept in the plants until yesterday when. heading a court injunction, strik- ers failed to form their picket lines. The inJunction forbade plcketing. '

How many workers entered the plants in Montreal was obscure but last night company spokesmen of Canada Packers, Ltd.. and Wil- sii, Ltd, declared the picture was “much brighter" and a Canada Packers official said his firm now was “gathering steam." 9

Yesterday was the second day of resumed operations in Montreal plants. During Thursday the num- ber of workers going through picket lines-under the eye of watchful police—was said to be small but Modern Packers, Ltd., said the number increased during the second day.

At Ottawa, the case of the live stock producer in the strike was pleaded before Federal Agricult- ural officials yesterday by Premier Garson of Manitoba, who said the farmers would lose -heavily be- cause of the dispute in which they had no part.

The live stock marketing situ- ation in Western Canada, the Premier said, was becoming more serious daily and an unfavorable break in the weather would make it critical.

Despite the fact that live stock producers were not to blame for

. ‘Ills; ity, developing into a probmlty." that of all persona affected by the ‘strike. the live stock producers would lose the most. '

The Government had on obliga- tion to keep their losses to a min- imum.

Toronto

tablished that Mrs. Curry visited a public school here yesterday and Pwildly showed s. boby to her for- mer teachers.

"It seems to me to be a cue of the impelling urge of mother love which caused Mrs. Ourry to take the chdd." said Gite! Constable Louis Rndrigue of Havelock, who arrested the woman. He quoted her as saying she travelled to Toronto and visited the Y.W.O.A. and the Children's Aid Society for punis- slon to adopt a child. At both places she raid. she was refused.
