POPE NOY In the early morning of October 24th, 1948, a familiar figure of llazelbrook, Pope Noy, passed quiet- ly sway 1n his 66th year. He was the only son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Noy and had lived all his life on the old home- stead at 1iazelbrook. lie ls survived by his wife and a very large circle of friends and relatives by sll of whom he will be very much missed. _The funeral was held from his late residence on Tuesday, October 26th at 2 o'clock. Service was con- ducted by Mr. Charles Stewartnof Halifax, s representative of the Watchtower society. frhe funeral discourse bssed on the Holy Dlhls, ciesrly showed the purpose of Jehovah, the Creator, in the estab- lishing of His long promised King- dom for the blessing of all obedient hisrnsn kind, and expressed the hope of the deceased in the prom- lle of s resurrection to s New World of Righteousness, wherein all men of goodwill will enjoy everlasting blessings on a Paradise earth with no sorrow, sickness or even death. Thus fulfilling sll sincere prayers. “Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth. as it is in heaven." A very large attendance showed the esteem in which he was held. Pallbearers were six cousins: Percy Noy, Bnrce Noy, Esrle Inge. Wil- lisn Ings. Samuel Drake and Albert Drake. Interment was in the fern- lly plot in Pownsl Cemetery.

ITIIT DUTCH NIWSPAPER The first newspaper in the Netherlands, De I-laariemmc: Freight Traffic“ 0n Bar Ferry 1,575 carlosds of freight were ferried from ‘Ibrmeutlue to Borden last month as compared to 1,534 in November, 1947, a statement re- leased from the offices of the Sup- erintendent, Island Division, Can- adian National Railways, disclosed yesterday. 0n the other hand. exports of loaded freight. cars leaving the Province were 460 cars less. The figures are. 1,847 cars for Novem- ber, 1948 and 2.307 cars for Nov- ember, 1947. Imports of coal took a. pronounc- ed jump, since 342 cars were brought over last month to 201 cars during Novccnber of lastycar. Fertilizer, sugar, and flour and feed all showed a decrease: Fertil- lzer, 29 cars last month compared to 81 for November, 1948; sugar, 1'1 to 19; and flour and feed, 128 to 173. One odd figure ls that which shows, despite the fact. that 1948 probably produced the Island's greatest hey crop. that four cars of hay were imported for distribution west of Charlottetown. In Novem- ber, 1947, 15 cars of hay were 1m- ported. Imports of cement showed s 100- pcr-ecnt increase, there being 14 cars brought over last month as girraared to seven for November of The work on the Borden pier has resulted in the importation of 186 cars of foundation material consist- ing of stone, sand. and gravel last month. None of this material was brought over during November of last year. The quantity of potatoes export,- ed in carioad lots last. month was Surprisingly high in view of the fears expressed that there would be s great shortage of cars and in View also of the fact that‘. potato digging was from two so three weeks later this season than for the fall of 1947. 1,329 cars of potatoes left. the Province on the car ferry last month as compared to 1,514 cars in November, 1947, o decrease 0f 185 cars for the month. Turnips were down 47 cars-156 l0 203. Eight cars of hay and straw and one car of oats left the Province last. month. No quantity of either of those commodities was exported in November, 1947. Shipments of starch showed s. 50. per-cent, increase as six cars were exported last month compared to four in November of last year. Two cars of butter and cheese were ex- ported last month; them were no shipments for November of 1947. City buyers of Christmas trees must have secured their needs for this season nearer hcme since none were exported last month though nine cars were shipped tothemaln. land in November, 1947. Scout - Guide Week 1948 All interested in Guiding Will. X10 doubt, be wondering as to what plans are in the making regarding activities to be undertaken for our next Scout ‘- Guide Week. At a meeting of the joint Pro- vincial Scout-Guide Committeeheld rgpensiy, a suggested program for the week was drawn up. ‘There is nothing definite or settled about the program as yet, and if any reader of this column has a. further or better suggestion to offer than those about to be outlined. the Committee would be pleased l0 hear from same. As the Scout. Committee had met some time s50. and formulated most of their plans. we have tried to fall in line with their ideas. However, it is hoped that. before another Scout-Guide week rolls around the matter of holding Provincial Guid- er-Scouter get-togethers will be planned for early fall rather than in February when ihtrtrovelling ls not to be relied upon. The program is tentative only. and Districts may make their own plans, but, it is hoped, will follow as much as possible the suggested one. which is: Sunday - February 20th, All Scouts, Guides, Cubs and Brons- loe to attend service tn their ro- spective churches. Monday - February 21st, Troops and Companies to entertain parents and friends si. regular meetings. Tuesday —- February 22nd, Found- er's Day, Scouts and Guides to have "rallies. Guide Rally will probably be in the form of sn In- ternational one and food parcels may be presented to be forwarded later to needy Guides Overseas. Wedgiesdsy — February 23rd. Radio broadcast. Thursday -- February 24th, Lone Scouts and Guides to tske over sctivltles for day, including radio broadcast. Friday - February 25th. if s skate cannot be arranged for tho Cubs and Brownies on Tuesday. the 22nd, it will probably be held 0n Friday, after which refresh- ments will be served. It possible, a Scout and Guide Patrol Leaders‘ Banquet will be held in the aven- ing. Saturday-February 28th, Scout- er-Gulder Buffet. Dance sf the Charlottetown Hotel st 8.90 pm.

Mrs. Fred Annual Meeting Johnston's River Junior Farmers A review of projects started and Drones: made during the post six weeks was given Wednesday night by retiring president Jos- eph Beagan, at the annual mett- ing of the recently orsunised Jun- tor Farmer's Federation group in Johnston's River. Guest speaker at the meeting was Athol Mac- @na.ld-, Mermaid. who gave an enlishwblus address on methods of organization 1n other centres. The following officers were elected: President, Alvin Beegen; vice-president, Lloyd Horton; the secretary Catherine NlhliDoniuld woe re-elected. In addition to these; John D. MacDonald and Walter White were elected as dir- ectors. Reviews Progress In reviewing the progress made by the group, Mr. Beegan, the past-president. pointed out that although organized at an inoppor- tune time of yesr, the sbcadily growing membership list has reached twenty-six, and much hes been dons toward the building of a large, modern community cen- tre, which would include bowling alieys, and facilities .for playing basketball as well as other fomss of recreation. Mr. MacDonald remarked that many of the problems facing this new branch, were similar to those which had previously plagued his fellow members of the Hillsboro group. He gave an interesting talk on methods used by his group to solve their problems. ss well as much appreciated edvilce on haw to organize and attract new mem- bers. with an eye to the future. Ad- rian Van Doom suggested that the group practice a play for next surrmer, and that a little enter- tainment. be provided at each meeting, which might tend to re- lieve the shortage of lady mem- bers. Confidence in the leadership of their new president for whbm ev- ery member voted, by secret bal- lot, was expressed by the entire group. Marshfieiti W. I. Celebrates Anniversary Members of the Marshfleld Women's Institute observed the 35th anniversary of their founding when they enjoyed an informal dinner Thursday night tn the Queen Hotel. Present as guests were the husbands of the Institute members, a number of charter members of the organization who have since moved to other parts of the prov- ince, and several other invited guests. The occasion had on added significance in that the Marsh- field Institute was the first. in the province to be organized under the Departzneni. of Agriculture- An- other Institute in York hs_d funct- ioned previously but, did not come under the Department cf Agricult- ure until later, ll; was explained at Use anniversary dinner. The dinner meeting was presided over by the president. Mrs. W. R. Godfrey, and it was pleasing to have also at the head table the first President of the Institute, Mrs. L.H.D. Foster. Other charter members of the Institute seated at the head table included Mrs. John Mums, Sr., and Mrs. JJ-I. Crosby. Mrs. Crosby presented a short history of the Institute. She recall- ed that it had been organized on Aipfll 1, 1013 and that their first major project had been working for the boys who had gone to fight in the First World War. Knitting ii-lld sewing had been done with qnaterlal purchased from the prd- ceetls of teas, suppers, etc.. and they felt that they had a share in the victory because of the work they had been able to do. In 1921 they were instrumensal 1n having medical inspection in the school. They observed their thir- teenth birthday in 192G and in 1927 they officially observed an- other anniversary with a sell up the West River. War came again 1n 1939. s longer and more severe war than the first recalled the historian who observed that although we have not yet won the peace we still hope for s better understanding among nations and for sn end to the jealousy and greed that causes un- rest and strife. She was proud to report that the Institute today has the biggest membership in its history and that it has embraced hundreds of local institutes tl-lroughout the province. rnrssurlsvsriu (Continued from Page 1) currency difficulties." He said one of the difficulties in Anglo-Canadian dealings was that the Economic Recovery Program regulations prevented Canadian surpluses, such as bee-us and fish, being sold to Britain. Another difficulty he cited was absence of o plan for exohsnge of British cars or steel products for Canadians food although Britain gives Russia tinplatte for fish. Gardiner said if the dollar situ- stlon had not intervened, Canada would have been sble to send Brit- ain in 1949 more than 300000.000 pounds of bscon,,nesriy 200,000,000 poupds of beef. 80.000900 dozen eggs, scversl hundred thousand barrels of apples, thousands of bushels of beans and ss much ism as Britain could have afforded. “llélfl-QTTMPPIQYYN Entertainment Anti Treat For Urphans M1‘. James Power and s. group of entertainers from Charlotte- town paid an annual vlslt to the St. Vincent Orphanage last night, bringing entertainment and a treat of candy and fruit to the children. The previous night part of the group went to the Protestant Orphanage at Mt. Herbert with entertainment and a treat. Included in the performers at St. Vincent's last night were. Miss Maureen Brown, Charlie Chamber- lain, Miss May Howatt, I-Iughlc Trainer. Miss Joan McCallum, Leith Sweeney, Andrew Gallant, Mrs. Doyle, Miss E. Roberts and Jimmy Power. the latter acting as master of ceremonies, in sd-' ditlon to singing. Albert Blanchard was the accompanist. At the Mt. Herbert Orphanage the group included Charlie Chamb- erlain, Leith Sweeney. Hughie Trainer and Mrs. Doyle, headed by Mr. Power. The treats were supplied through the kindness of S. 'I‘. Green, J. C. Montgomery, Michael Bros and Jimmy Power. At both orphanages the staff ex- pressed warm thanks to the group for both the entertainment and the treat. FARM MARKET (Continued from Page f) made on outstanding job of poul- try production in the past. few years, to maintain their produc- tion to a reasonable extent ir. conformity with present levels. making such adjustments in their economy and production, as con- ditions would seem to dictate, and further to not swing too decisive- ly one way or the other with re- ference to egg and poultry meat production,“ Mr. Shaw states. “With our production involved in ordinary sized farm flocks, we cannot go far astray by adhering to present maintainance levels." Agricultural Prices A general picture on all agricul- tural prices would seem to indic- ate that. they will remain for the next year at the 1948 level and perhaps decline slightly toward the end of the year. Prices paid by farmers will possibly increase over the 1948 level. During the first half of the year hog prices are expected to be firm with prices of other livestock as good if not better than last year. Marketlngs are expected to be slightly less and declines in all classes of meat animals are anticipated. The gen- eral livestock position, however, is good. Domestic demand for dairy products is likely to remain high with milk production approximat- ing the 1948 estimate of 16".» billion pounds. Egg production is expected to decline somewhat. Livestock Returning now to me more im- medlate problem of markets in -our own Province, livestock prices seem to have strengthened. Montreal prices on cattle are somewhat lower Wllh medium steers 18-210; heifers 18-20c; cows medium 13-1550, with tops rang- ing up to 18'. bulls 17-19; vea‘. calves steady at 14c; good ewe lambs 25c; sheep 5-10. Hogs. grade “A" 31.50. Maritime markets show hogs aip at both Moncton and Charlotte- town 25 with all other livestock prices steady with last week. Monoton-Grade "A's" 31.25; "B's" 30.85; N0. 1 sows 25; No. 2b 24, hot dressed weight. delivered. Charlottetown Grade “A's" 30.25; “B‘s" 29.85. No. 1 sows 23.80; No. 2's 22.80 f.o.b. country points. Choice steers and heifers brought $18 with good and medium rang- ing down to i8. Plain and com- mon datry steers down to 10c. Best cows brought l4 ranging down to 12 for common and 11 for can- ners. Bulls 12-14: choice veal 18: lambs dressed 43 delivered. The tendency seems to be strong and indicates the favourable position of livestock right across the coun- try. llggs and Poultry Poultry prices are at a. favour- able level. Dealers and retallers 100k for lower sales beyond the Christmas season. However, the market at present is keen and materials are being readily ob- sorbed. It is reported that. retali- ers are asking 75c per pound for undrawn turkeys. Dealers are of- fering for dressed turkeys under 18 pounds grade "A" 58-60. Tur- keys, however, are being purch- ased for 62-68 with a. good many at 65c. Grade "B's" are 56; over 18 lbs. grade "A" range from 56- 58; "B's" 54; old hen turkeys grade "A" 50; “B's" 48; old toms 4c under. Ducks are selling for grade "A" 38; "B's" 38. Gee . all weights, "A's" 42; “B‘s" These prices on geese, however, are hardly consistent with the market. situation. Geese ore ex- ceedingly scarce and higher prices than these quoted have been of- fered the producer. Chicks 5 lbs. and over, special 50c; milkfed “A" 49; "B's" 46-; "C's" 25; under 5 lbs. 2-3c less per pound. Cspons 8 lbs. and up 4c above chicken prices. Fbwl over 5 lbs.. "Special" 39; "A's" 84; "B's" 32. Dealers are quoting for live poultry chick- en over ti ibe. "A" 38; 5-6 lbs. 372 fowl 514 lbs. and up grade "A“ 2ft. shipments, however. which left yesterday for American points brought for capons live a top price of 43c for 8 lbs. and over, a top price for chickens of 40c and for fowl 30c. These are excellent figures for poultry and indicate the keonness of the market. Egg production has held steady during the pest week but receipts are lower by 5% than for the same period last. year. The market ap- peared to weaken through the rl;..i.;;.;;i In Bar Accident Three persons — Mr. and Mrs. John Jay of Borden, and Miss Irma Tait, public health nurse of Charlottetown are in the P. E. Island Hospital as the result of a motor-car accident which oc- curred about 11 o'clock yesterday morning on the highway a mile west of Hunter River. , Mrs. Jay is suffering from a broken leg and other injuries; Miss Tait. has a broken rib; and Mr. John Jay sustained bruises and a severe cut. ln the scalp as well as other minor cuts about the face. Mr. Jay's father, Mr. Albert Jay, who was also in the Jay car. received a. shaking up but required no hospital treatment. The Jay car was proceeding to- ward Charlottetown and went into a skid when the driver, Mr. John Jay, attempted to pull its wheels out of the lcy ruts 1n order to give an approaching car. driven by Miss Tait, on opportunity to pass. The Jay car was practically de- molished in the accident, while the one driven by Miss Tait had its whole front driven in. Dr. J. R. Murchison of Hunter River was summoned and rendered first old to the injured before they were taken in e panel truck to Charlottetown. Two IlMJl‘. buses. one driven by Mr. Stewart. Berry, end the other by Mr. Lawrence Doyle, followed behind the truck all the \"ay to the City in case of any further accident. Both bus drivers had assisted in placing the injured aboard the truck. week. As s matter of fact on Pri- dsy lsst it weakened to the ex- tent of 2c per dozen. Yesterday's price was increased 2c. We are rather curious to know why the drop. Our Market Service would be pleased to receive art explan- ation from the trade. In our present state of intelligence we just cannot see the reason but we are open to conviction. We fur- thermore would like to know the reason for this sudden drop in prices to our fsnn producers. Op- ertaors at- gradbig stations are now quoting producers for un- graded eggs: AL 4-6-47; AM 44-45; A? 4o; Grade “B" 44; "C's" as. Eggs are retailing at. Charlotte- town bo consumers in cartons: AL ss-sa; AM 63-65. Potatoes The potato market still appears to be spotty with rather a wide variation 1n prices. The following l5 submitted: Charlottetown, tablestock 70c per '15 lbs. Market slow and fallinS eff this week. Seed ls 70c P" bushel delivered; 50c for Nu 72's. One boar. loading at present fur-c for Saint John and Halifax for export. Potatoes are showing some dry rot ill storage and additional core should be exercised in grad- ill . gummerslde, tablestock 65-700, per 75 lbs. delivered. Market. slow. Seed: Sebagoes 75c per bushel de- livered. I-‘ew moving. Foundation 80c. Cobblers and Mountains at. a standstill. Katahdirls 75c. A boat- was loaded last. week for Halifax. Same potatoes are coming into warehouses, including Souris and Georgetown. At Montague there is nothing moving at present. with considerable quantities in ware- houses. Eimiriuseed 70c per bushel. "Foundation A" at car. No table- slock moving, but considerable seed. St. Peters and Morell, Kat.- shdins 70c per bushel. Very few proving. lsittle demand. Table- stock 55-58 to farmer. Vernon River, seed 83-65; tarblestock 70c per bag at farm. 0‘Leary, table- stock 60c per bushel to farmer. Market easy. Seed 70c per bushel tn fame. Borden Line, 80-850 fur 1a lbs. seed‘ at barn. Toblestock 70-75c per bag. It will be observed from these figures that there 1s some variat- ion in the prices. We will leave it to the farm producer to decide whether 55c at his form after po- tatoes are graded and bagged is sufficiently high to justify his selling at the present moment when the support price subsequent to April 1st is 09c per bushel at his farm ungra-ded and in his bins; or if costs of handling and grading are taken into consider- ation these potatoes after April should oe worth 80c minus bag delivered at the car. It. would seem to us that there L; too wide a range between pre- sent prices and the value of the commodity 1n slightly over three months time. Each producer must work this problem out for him- self. The quality and keeping pos- sibilities in his storage would have to be taken info consideration and the farm owner of potatoes is eftcr all in the best position to decide what price he could sell his potatoes for at the present time in the light of a 89c a bushel product upgraded and untouched ai- April 1st, plus feed value for his livestock. i The turnip market at Char- lottetown is around 25-27c at the car. Market slow. It is not antic- ipated that there will be much life to the turnip trade until mar- kets straighten out into the Nev." Year. Newfoundland Market Newfoundland trade is cleaning up pretty well and there is no‘. any assurance of more boats to Charlottetown this Fall. Some nay and potatoes are moving by North Sydney.

Margarine Question An important decision has been handed down by the Supreme, Court of Canada which will un-; doubtedly have an outstanding in-l fluence zapon dairy production in this counwy. That decision‘ has, reference to the manufacture‘ within Canada of margarine. It is too early yet to fully assess the implications of this decision. The tree manufacture and distribution of margarine in fills country where we have been depending so much upon butler which works out sf. almost 30 lbs. per capital use cannot. be other than cletrl-l mental to the dairy industry. t I look with very grave concern to the future of dalrylng in this; Province as a result of this deals-i ion, and feel that e. very serious‘ blow has been directed at the very foundation of our agricultural ec-. onomyz No phase of production. occupies such an important place in the upkeep of farm economy!‘ farm fertility, soil conservation’ and general employment as does? this, the dairy industry. If thlst industry is weakened the whole’ fabric of agricultural production loses its strength and pattern. Consumers may for u time ex- perience the value of a lmver price spread but there are many com- plications in a situation of this kind which may ultimately work to the distinct disadvantage of all classes of people in the country.
