The Federal Government has made its first step towards grant- ing Pl'll'.';'C Iidward Island and New Brunswick potato growers financial assistance with a plan to aid in the export of spuds to un- usual or large markets. it was learned here over the week end by officials of the Potato Marketing Board.

Tire proposed plan to aid Mar- itime potato growers was decided at a cabinet meeting last week. This aid will include financial as- alstarice in t.he event the Spanish order of 700.000 bushels of potatoes or other similar order be secured.

An estimate of the amount of aid the Government will pro- vide has been received here. This assistance. it was learned from marketing board officials. will aid in obtaining the markets and will bring the grower about 40 cents a bushel for his potatoes.

Members of the Provincial Potato Marketing Board will meet in Chaixlottetown this afternoon and discuss the offered assistance. To- morrow the co-brdinaiing commit- tees of the P. E. I. and N. B. mar- keting Boards will meet in Mono- ion.

"Nearly all of the services will restored in about a week", he stated. "but the work of strength-I ening the lines so that they may function similar to the manner in which they carried messages be- fore the storm will require another week." i

'Connections had been made to every part of the Island by Christ- mas but many individual lines were out of order. In all well over 100 poles had been broken.
