He exprmsed the opinion that, fox furs would again become pop- ular through the use of modern- ized names that are being intro- duced into the trade in describing the various type of fur. He show- ed color photos of fur coats and capes which highlighted the re-I cent fur show held in New York City. Guests at the meeting included.

Nor does it mean the .We:tem powers will agree to any move to make agreement on one item a condition to moving on to the next. Dulles said Molotov'a statement MONGY was a matter of "profound d.:appoin.tment." The United stat- es 18 willing to deal with "and dis- pose of" the China talks point, Dulles said, but he gave this warn. ing: "The United Btatu rejects the soviet concept that any of thesa- cailed five great powers has a right to rule the world and to (i..:.m..:e the destinies of other nations." He continued: "Mr Molotov has proposed an agenda It is not the agenda that we would propose but it is an agenda which we will take lfor the sake of getting down to work. Important Thing "The important thing is that we ,quickly show a capacity to dis- charge our respon.L'bilities towards 'others and not waste our time in recriminations amongst ourselves." Dulles said it was ”saddening" that Molotov had seized on the opening of the new conference to accumulate and repeat the old false chargesiand recrimlnations so often heard from Soviet rulers. "The future will never be a fut- ure of peace iniless it reflects new ideas and new vision," Dulles said. Molotov professed to fear that the European Defence Community would be dominated by German militarism. but this was precisely what it was designed to prevent, Dulles contended. It was a program accepted wil- lingly by the Germans themselves. "The German people are eager, as are the people of France. to find a way to end for ever the hideous spectacle of the European nations fighting each other.'' Dulles said. No Substitute Russia had proposed no substit- . uta for EDC except a return to the obsolete, bankrupt system of Ver-. sailles and other so-called "peace" treaties which had bred only var. Dulles said "Surely Btatesmanahlp can do better than to recreate me world's worst fire huerd . . . " r on ' a plea to accept Communist Chine as one of the Big Five, Dirllea said this "offspring of soviet ommunism' was condemned by title United Na- tlons for flagrant , agression in Korea and was "actively promot- ing agression" against French Indo-China: Though six months had passed since Communist China had agreed is: hold a Korean political confer- ence. it had "constantly found ex- cuses and placed obstructions in the way." he added. The sooner the four ministers could get to the German quemlon the better. Dulles said. "Germany is a matter which primarily con- cerns us here." The Austrian treaty problem. he said. mould be Qulckli disposed od'. although "we would have preferred to d-al wiiih it enri- ler.” . Dulles concluded his N-minute address with"ihis plea: "Let us get on with our work. Let as truly discharge that reqicnaibiltty on which the hopes of millions centre." Bath Eden and Bldault backed Duliw stand in brief following re- strened that the Molotov d was not what they wanted but that they would accept it in order to set the conference moving. g - Molotov made no comment on the West's surprise acceptance of his talks. He denied Duliee' merges that Russia is atteuiptiiu to provoke Franco-German discord.

Before submitting his report on the year's activities, Mr. Alan Hol- man recalled that during the year the Board of Trade had lost by death a prominent citizen and active member in the person of Donald Baker. Mr. Holman said that in the loss of Mr. Baker the Board had lost one of the most active members and the town one of its most influential citizens. However, he would be missed most by his family. Reviews Aims MY. A. T. Parkes. the guest speaker, who is Maritime manager of the Canadian Chamber of Com- merce and executive secretary of the Maritime Provinces Board of Trade. in his address dealt with the work and aims of the Mari- time Bcard of Trade. particularly in reference to assisting local Boards of Trade to establish and foster industries in their own pro-' es. He spoke! of the four-province meeting held in September at Monctmi at which three Maritime Premiers and a Newfoundland cabinet minister had met to dis- cuss co-operation on mutual prob- lems. At this meeting, he said, a vari- ety of subjects ranging from uni- form standards of traffic regula- tions, improved stvinclards of edu- cation and joint tourist program had been under discussion, out of which had come a la-man com- mission to investigate the econ- cmic position of the four provin- ces. i... Parkes reviewed the industrial activity in the Maritime Provinces. In New Brunswick he said. there is at. present a great boom due to the finding of iron ore deposits near Bathurst. and there was nlra ,, record housing boom in Mnnc-ton. He spoke of big industrial carpin- slon in the province of Newfound- land and of the industries which have been financed by "10 8Ws ernment there. He told of the nretihods used by the MODCWH Board to induce ln(tustries' to locate til-iere. Booklets hari been printed, he said, containing the auditors. . Annual Meeting Last Night ..a.. r... i sin .. , .. .... (Photo by sears) iesults of an industrial survey, and these had been sent to other boards of trade througout Canada and the U.s.A. When it became known that any large industrial firm was contemplating industrial expansion this booklet, along with a direct invitation, had been sent to these fimis inviting them to investigate the advisability of locating in Moncizon. As a result of such a. program he cited the fact that many large corporations now are operating there, firms such as General Motors. Chrysler Corpor- ation, Massey Harris, John Deere 00., and others. He concluded by saying, however. that it was not important that while using best efforts to induce industries to settle in a locality it is in the best interests of the community to first look after the local industries the town already has for such industries have been the backbone of the town and the community. In taking over his office as pre- sident, Mr. Hayward expressed his ithanks to the past president for the work accomplished during the -past year. He said that he felt 'the Board was faced with a busy year in 1954 and asked for the full support of all the members and for larger l1l5l:9I1d'Cil'lCE at the regu- lar monthly meetings. i, The full co-operation of all is needed, he said, to have a suc- cessful Board of Trade, and issue- .c-essful Board can he of great ser- 'vice to the community.

For Mayor Wedge, who returned from hospital in Charlottetown last evening where he had been a patient since an accident in which he suffered severe facial inluries on January 10th, it will be the beginning of his i'1th year in civic office, having served 12 years (4 elections and 2 acclamations) as a councillor, before winning an elec- tion to the office of mayor which he retained unopposed two years ago, and again yesterday. During his past four years as mayor, great progress has been accomplished in civic improvement and expansion. Among the more notable c iv 1 c accomplishments with which Mayor Wedge has been associated during that time. iri- clude the building of the beautiful Queen Elizabeth Park; providing financial assistance to the direct- ors to encourage the construction of the new Sumnnerside Raceway Stadium; construction of 4 miles of concrete pavf-men-t on Duke, ii-otre Dame, Schurmait.

Alan Holman at the annual banquet meeting last night of the Summerslde Board of Trade: "Once again we come to the end of another year's activities of the Bummersld Board of Trade, and OM30 Basin it becomes the job of the Outgoing president to review, briefly we all hope, the activities of the past year, to give praise to those cormnittees that have pro- greased well. to mention all the additions and improvements which have taken place in the Town of 3011111913149. and Prince County. most of wihlch were done with no assistance from our Board, but to vfhioh we can point with pride, to moum our losses and welcome our new-comers, "During the last year Bummer- side has lost through deatfh, many outstanding citizens. including Mr D0nBld Baker. a former president of this Board and an outstanding community worker. His death has been a great loss to this Board, this comlmtrnity and to his family and fellow workers. We have wel- comed to summereide many new citizens, some temporary, wmlg in HEY M&Jeslry'a Services, and cer- tainly some who, we hope, will make our community their per. mancn-t home. To these we say welcome, and I know that, I speak for all of our members, when I say that we all offer you every assist- ance possible in making your stay here. whether penmanent or tem- porary, as pleasant as possible. Change In Method "Our Board, tihisilast year. start- ed out with a changed method of operation. It had been planned to have the Council of the Board take a. more active part in the activities of the Board by having regular meetings and doing most of the manning and action on behalf of the Board as a whole, with the lvprovai of the Board at the regular meetings. It was also Dlanned to hold a supper meeting every three months, to report to the Board on the activities, and to invite to the meetings, some in- terestlng speaker to help keep up the interest of our citizens in the work. I regret to day that, al.- thoush this program started out with a bang at the first of Vhe yea", interest rapidly dwindled, and the program was not a suc- cess. We had one supper meeting in the spring, addressed by Mr. Watson Jarner. Chairman of the Traffic Safety Committee of the Maritime Board of Trade, which was rather disappointing in at. tendtiricc. I do not recall any other. "We started out with regular Council meetings in the spring, but, during the Summer. these dwindled out, and this Fall. to mv knowledge, only one was held. Now. Gentlemen, this is due to a number of different circumstances, the absence of our secretary, dur- ing the summer months had some bearing on it, but it is primarily due to the fact that your President did ,aot mive Board of Trade mat- ters in birth enough priority in his list of activities. I certainlv should and will shoulder the most of the blame Active Committees "Because our Board. as a whole was dormant, does not mean that we were entirely inactive. Luckily for us, we had I number of Com- mltte chairmen, who were egres- sive. not aafraid of work and who had the good of the Community in their minds and in their activities. The Tourist Committee was, as always very active, Under the chairmanship of Mr. Ross Mac- Kennle. a drive was made very early in the year to get the roads properly repaired before. not after. tlhe tourist season started. They met with, at least some success. The Tburist Bureau was again operated, and. although we lost the operator who had run this Bureau since its first opening a most suc- cessful years service to the travel- purbiic was given. "A keen interest was taken in the Trans-Canada and Borden Highways, and numerous repre- aentatians were made to the De- partment of Public Works about the different locations, and turns on these roads. If l0O7o.success was not nttained, it was not through any luck of egg:-emlve in- terested action by this Committee To Mr. Macixemiie and the mem- ber: of this committee, 1 voice the thanks of our Board "Another active committee this past year was the Civic Affairs committee chalivnaned, very ably, by Mr. Jack Mungall. Again it wuamatterofagrut dealof labour, and a great deal of time used by individual members of this committee on a project for the good ad the town, and again, al- thomh we still cannot see any concrete action, the groundwork has been laid for action on the put of the Town Council. I speak of the parking problem that is confronting this town. Mr. Mungaii and Mr. Hayward worked tlreleuly on this project. which will eventually bring forth action These two cornmttteos were the moat scttve iii the Board for two reasons, first. because of the pro- blems that confronted mean. and second. because of the chairman- ship and menbershl, of the com- mittees themselves. Changes At Airport "Buiranerslde has had manv changes in the past. year. The changes at the Airport have been daout the grestat, and one which our citizens have watched with much interest, We regret seeing the Navigational school leave.

This year summerside sporting all the citizens of the town and Prince County have received a double benefit in The Summerside R.a.ceIways and the Raceways Stadium. Both of these units were erected through the private initia- tive and far-sightedness of five outstanding men: - Mr. Harold Gaudet, Mr. J. K. Curran, Mr. Slam Hewitt, Mr. Andrew Perry and Mr, Gerald sheen. These men are not afraid to risk capital in Summerslde and they deserve all the support that we, as a Board, can give them. our pier is gradu- ally taking shape. "It is regrettable Mint 3 could not have been used this Fall for shipping produce, but It is boner to have the work done on this pier now. so that. in the future, we will have a shipping point that will be permanent. and one which will not be a source of worry and a bottle neck for traffic. I have aaw tpiwaised' ose that deserve praise. have 'poi with prldef at our accomplishments, and it in now time to iviv-aw with alarm' those conditions which to my mind ave elm-rnirr-. . Produce Prices "The drrvp in produce prices should be a very grave concern to all the members of this Board. Re- duced farm income will a,dversel.v affect practically every member of this Board. as the econmny of this province depend: on flhn farmer. When we consider that in many areas of lhe world. there is a severe shortage of food. which in some places amount to famine con- ditions, while in our country there is an over abundance. one wond- rrs whv our food cannot be tran- rncrtcd in those countries. "I would. surree-wt that this Board work on this problem by unzlnvz our Provincial and Federal Govern- nients to study more fully lhe dis- tritwvon and mrchanon direction with the idea of hwlri" this condi- tion corrected. While mocking about produce price: and the farmer, I would also like to say that I believe that this Board can continue to do a lot to foster is better feeling betlween the Town and the Farm. It certainly can- not do so hv talking a.bout Day- light Saving.” It can do so by help- ing to make Sumrneralde a better place for the farmer to visit, by trying to understand 'his pro- blems, as well as 'the Town' pro- blems, and by more actively work- ing to help him dispose M what he produces at a reasonable profit to himself I say that with the film conviction that the future pros- perity of this community dqsenda on the Farmer. "I look with alarm on the dis- continuance of the regular bus ser- vice between the Airport and Summerside. By the time that this speech is given, this condition might have been rectified, but, 11 ii is not. this Board should take immediate steps to try and have some type of service re-lnstated. Why? Because. as a trading centre. it is of vital importance to this town to have good cornxnunicatiumn with a centre. such as Blemon Park where no regular stores are available for the convevnie-nce of the residents Importance of Trade "At this time, it should be pclnia ed out tlhat Sumsnerside is a tr:'.d- ing centre. There are no industries in the town, of sufficient doe. to support the community as a. whole. and. without our trade, this com- munity would quickly ahrlvel and die. As a retailer, I believe that some effort should be made by the govemlng body of the town to make this 'cornmunit.y a better place for our 'out of town' shop- pen, and. when I mean a. better place, I mean a more convenient place, with better traffic facilities. parking facilities and better police supervision. "some or the larger stores have been in the fortunate position of being able to supply parking facil- ities, but these are badly over- crowded. our front street isnarraw and congested. We do have bad traffic jams. and in busy time: motorists do have to park at con- siderable distance from our shop- ping area.
