First let me deal with the ques- tion of membership. For a number of years during the twenties I was a director of the Association and we all paid in an annual fee of $2.00. The late Mr. Alfred Dewar who was at that time the respected president of the Association used to insist that that fee be refund- cd to the growers at the end of each shipping season. In my opinion that was always a mistake and I used to urge that that money siiould have been placed in a special reserve fund to provide for Just such is con- RIDUCVIONS Attoweo av FEDERAL clullrs tax will be as great a benetacmr to the human race as sir Jaiiirs 3llnPlon.

It is reported that there is some dissatisfaction over the fact that some of the directors act as agents or ‘buyers and receive ii commis- sion for their work from the As- sociation. \Vcll. I have no objec- tion to a director acting as an agent or buyer: if he did not re- ceive a commission from the As- socinilon he could easily resign as A director and transfer his busi- m-ss to an outside dealer from whom he would receive the usual commission and in which case he would become an enemy rather than a friend of the Association. It is further stated that it is charged that certain agents osten- sibiy buy for the Association but deliver the potatoes to another dealer. I also would object to that prac- ilcc. but the grower has it in his power, when a truck load of po- tatoes leaves his premises to in- sist that he he paid for it by 8 check from the Potato Growers‘ Association. Now. in conclusion, let me say that if the question of member- ship can be settled in a satis- factory manner. I can see no good reason why any change In the pre- sent set-up of the Association should be made. I am. Sir, etc. JOHN H. MYERS. Hampton.

From the beginning 1 can seal that Mr.. Smith is a Conservative in politics. Now. he says I am] neither a farmer nor an admirer of hockey. Yea. I am both. 1 am. perhaps. as good a iltrmelr as Mi-.. anlih and I'll guarantee that if I don't know as much about, or take as great an interest in hockey as he does. then I shall be only too pleased to treat him to a good dinner at the “R.endesvous". (By the way. don't think for a moment that Premier Joints doesn't like h00k€y——I saw him at many a game!) He goes on to "beef." about hard times. Things don't look so gloomy down in this end of the Island. How about moViig down‘! Eggs took a nose—dive but they're near- ly back to normal again. Pork is only slightly below normal. If he is not clearlm enough on a pig. let him grow more grain and feed his own feed instead of supporting those In-called “mbberI." Beef is higher than it ever was. isn't it‘! Turnipe are an excellent price. read is high. but let him grow ni- owsi. Potatoes are quite flat but we don't have to depend on potatoes alorn here on P. E. I.

If I mistake not, fertilizer is two dol- lars per ton cheaper this year than last. Ray is also plentiful, so mhat's wrong? So the taking over of tilie meat .plant in the fall of 1947 was an election dodge was it? i bet Mr I smith was happy to hear that he could ship his pigs. Even so. election action is better than an election promise any day. speaking about promises. George Drew was one of those gl-mt. promlaers. but how many supported him’! Less] than one in four. Your corlespondent also has a contradiction. lie says that Prem- ier Jones put Prince Edward Is- land in debt in one breath and in the next breath says that the roads are a. disgrace and May aren't they fixed‘! Well. if the Is- land is in debt what will it be if all the roads that people ask to be fixed are fixed? It'll be deeper in the red. won't it?
