Trucks and crews from a Mon- treal chain store organization were on hand to unload the curses. with the cargo of the first plane being practically discharged when tho second plane roiled to a stop. A photographer and press man from the Montreal Gazette were on hand to witness ihe unloading.

The berries had all been unload- ed and on their way to the City stores by 7.30. By 0 o'clock many of the berries which were In Island fields only ld hours earlier would be- on display in Montreal.

Dealing with flshermenh cooper- atlves he said: "Due to the lower- ing price of lobsters and the scar- city of them during the past three years. the fishermen have been having it exceptionally hard. Then too with no markets for other canned fish and the price of salt fish down, It is hard for the fish- erman to make ends meet.

In districts where they have operated efficiently for a number of years and built up reserves they are somewhat better off. but where new cooperatives have start- ed with little share capital, con- ditipns are not at all good. If conditions do not change for the better the industry is going to be so unprofitable that many of our fishermen will be seeking other means of making a living.”

In his concluding remarks he said that the cooperative move- ment in this Province. having passed through one of its most important years, is now entering a year of development and ex- pansion and care must be taken in this expansion.

Three retiring directors werera- elected for another three year term: Jerome O'Brien, Consumers; Louis O'Connor. Producers; Joseph Gslldin, P. E. I. Fishermen! Co- operative Ass‘n. Ltd. Mr. J. G. Dennis was appointed a delegate to the Cooperative Union of Canada.

With The lilds 0n The Playgrounds

Come to me, O ya children! For 1 hear you at your play. And the questions that perplexed

ms Have vanished quits away. _-i‘.ongfellow.

Last week the debated question, "Lord Byron was a. playground supervisor?" was decided in favor of the negative. 'I'his week the de- cision concerning the lsame ques- tion, starring Longfellow, will have to be unanimously given to the sf- firmstive, judging by the above verse. If the great poet had listen- ed to the children's endless gossip and queries all day, and. had the courage to csll them back the next day. he would be worthy of the highest position in the playground hall of fame. I-Iere are some of the numerous questions heard every day on the playground. “Why is the sky bluei’, Why doesn't grass grow on the streets? The only question they never seem to ask is "Why do supervisors usually keep the job for only one summer"

Horseshoe boxes and volleyball posts and nets were placed on Connaught Square last week. and teams will be organized the latter part of this week for inter-square competition.

Miss Frances Johnson, from the Arts and Crafts Guild made her first visit to King Square on Mon- day of this week when she dem- onstrated the use of colored chalks to approximately forty wide-eyed Yaimssters. On Wednesday morn- ing Miss Johnson made a similar visit to I-Illlsborough Square, where thirty boys and girls came for their initial test or tc gain a further knowledge in the use of chslks. Miss Johnson was very pleased with the attendance and with the interest taken in her work by the children attending, and expects an even greater attendance at the class on Connaught Square on Friday morning and at all the classes next week, when the fea- ture attrsction will be a demon. stration of colored crayons and paints. The above classes are free, so come one. come all. and really enjoy yourselves at the next meet- l-ili’ o! the Arts classes on your square.

Thirty boys from the three squares were given the thrill of their life on Tuesday, by partaking of a. free boat trip to Rocky Point. through the courtesy of the De- Iiisrtment of Public Works. A ball some, played after lunch. was fol. lowed by swimming and games and everyone, except the super- visor. had s wonderful time. The boys are not the only ones getting in on the fun. however, for the boys had scarcely arrived home on Tuesday, when about twenty-five girls from King Square had com- pleted their plan-s for a similar venture on Wednesday. under the Buldance of their supervisor, Mrs. Donald MscBeth, and from all re. ports s boat trip and hike holds as much lure for girls as It does for boys.

901111111310 Square girls, due to their proximity to the water will have no boat when they g0 on n Picnic. with their supervisor, Miss Leah McMahon, to Dickersons shore on Tuesday of next week. This sounds like a pretty interest- llls day so all girls interested in 111K108 make it a date to be at the square at 10 o'clock on Tuesday next.

Insufficient information makes it imllosslhle to give s. full writeup on the history of the playgrounds, as Intended for this week, but this much may be said. The play. grounds are now operated by a group known so the Charlottetown Pllyiround Commission. which is mliio i-IP of representatives from almost all the various (organiza- tions and clubs in the city. The City Council makes a liberal grant of $1.000 annually, and all the various clubs slso contribute generously. Any other financial needs must be mot throusii IPPEaIs from time to "mt i0 the general Public. There is no craft. if the term may s. used. by the Playground Commis. si0n..All members work voluntar- ily. and the only recipients of monetary Pay are the playground supervisors, who are paid in cash to help meet the incidental ex- penses for nerve tonic.

Au Revoir ancl good playing.
