April 24, 196i FoodCompanyAttitude Sparks Dissatisfaction Dissatisfaction was expressed here yesterday afternoon by a commitee from the provincial Processing Crops Producers’ As- sociation. with the reception ac- corded them by the manage- ment of the PEI. F to s t e d Foods whom they had telephon- ed on Monday to discuss this year's pea contract. The com. mitee named by an association. executive meeting Monday was Smith MacFarlane. chairman, . Sterling MacRac. Brookficld and J.L. Dewar. An arrangement had been made to meet the company on Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Mac- Farlane, said. but later, he ad- ded. the management declined to meet with them as represent- ing the provincial organization.. though they were told the com- pany would be glad to meet with Mr. MacFarlane and Mr. Mac- Rae as a committee of its own growers. Mr. MacF‘ 3 rl a n e explained yesterday they had to decline this invitation “because we have no authority to act in that capa- city." " ur provincial organization was set up to foster and develop this valuable industry for th e province. not to obstruct any plant." said Mr. MacFarlane who is also president of the pro- vincial association. “The committee feels." Mr. MacFarlane and Mr. MacRae stated. “that this year's pea contracts should be considered very, very carefully by th e growers before any of them signs. because the contract is contradictory— it's tougher than last year— and does n at clearly define the responsibility that should be assumed by the company." Seeman Bros. (Canada) Ltd. at New Annan told the commit- tee they would send along cop- ies of the 1963 contracts for the committee's perusal. and added if the committee still wishes to meet the company, that will be arranged. The provincial P r o c e s sing Crops Producers Association was organized last February at a meeting in Charlottetown, fol- lowing reports from a commit- ee named at an early- Dec-em. her meeting to look into the type of contracts issued in other pro- vinces and to report their find- back to a general meeting later. inf": West Prince Trade Bd.
