Dealing with the farm situat- ion the speaker compared the income of the Maritime farmer in 1961 of $1.094 with that of the western farmer at $3,412 and said eastern producers should receive the same consideration from government in sales aids.

Mr. Lewis stated the Liberals. if elected. proposed to have es: tablished a position of Associate Minister of Agriculture with the office holder to be from Eastern Canada. This, he said. would

Touching on the matter of con- tributory pensions he felt the farmer would be in an excellent position under the scheme as being self-employed people they only had to contribute once. When the plan was made 0 ra- tive. he stated. the present old age pension would be increased to $75 per month.

Mr. Gillis, who was introduc- ed by Mrs. Dixon, laughed at Conservative claims of obstruc- tion. but observed if only 50 Lib- erals could obstruct 200 Conser- vatives the ratio was about right.

In talking of the unemploy- ment situation he told his listen- ers if city men were out of wor 't meant they could not afford to buy what the farmer produc- ed and then prices dropped with the result that times were bad in the country as well.

Mr. Giillis felt the Liberals would bring an end to the semi- ous unemployment situation as “with Pearson you have pres- tige; with Pearson you have prosperity".

Both speakers remarked on the changed atmosphere noted Charlottetown and said it dicated a Liberal election win.

The scholarship, to be award- ed to students specializing in bi- ology at Prince of Wales Col- lege. .is being set up by the P.E.I. Fish and Game Associa- tion in memory of the late Har- vey Moore, founder of a bird sanctuary near Montague.

Mr. Bartlett, speaking on the black duck situation on the Is- and. said recent studies car- ried out by the Canadian Wild-

“Wintering and migrant black ducks are under considerably less hunting pressure than are our breeding birds, and steps should be taken soon to divert some of this pressure from 10- cally raised birds to our migrant and wintering populations.”

Studies suggest that the num- ber of waterfowl breeding on the Island can and must be increas- ed if high-quality hunting is to prevail. he stated.

“ARDA represents a major breakthrough in the thinking that has surrounded many land- use programs in the past. Many such programs were single in purpose. representing only one or two in a j o r forms of land use “

He stated ARDA recognized that man and land must be in constant harmony. and on P.E.I. recreational and agricultural uses of the land must harmon- ize “if Islanders are to reap the rewards nature has so generous< ly provided."

Prince 'beral candidate J. Watson MacNaught, Mr. Pick- ersgill said the Liberal program offered the people of Canada work and income, security and peace. equality and unity.
