POTATO DEALERS Oontinued firom page 1 people who have been in the po- tato business for years, not those who are interested in it as a side- line." some of the men appointed were in the dairy business. "The potato business is a ten million dollar business each year and it is very easily upset," he said. "I might ask if the Provin- cial Government will reimburse the growers next spring for the potatoes they have to dump." He pointed out that there are some 100'-odd produce dealers in the Province who obtain licenses River. Boston , from the Dominion Government, and they are the only ones allow- ed to export. Before being asked to approve a marketing board, the details of the scheme should be made known. ,M.r. Lester Simmons, Summer- sidci felt that the scheme origin- ated with the Federation of Agri- culture. "Let them build a co-op- erative association as big as they like but not include the independ- ent grower because the scheme is ridiculous." Mr. Lincoln Dewar. a member of the Government appointed board stated that it was the pro- ducers that voted for the scheme. Mr. Simmons retorted that the ,.. " did not know what they or e voting for and that the Federation sent out the ballots. Mr. Dewar: "rhe Federation was the facility through which the producers voted." Mr. Frank 8. Clarke thought that there were too many people ln the Provincial and Federal De- partments of Agriculture who had experience in the marketing of potatoes. "Last fall we heard there was going to be a shortage of potatoes and later in the season we heard the. officials change their gggucg," he said. "It seems that the bullet! are all ilrod by the Provincial or federal Departments of Agriculture. I feel that the otion of sales is being neg- sad the red tape and prop- ads overdone." . Iiinmobs chimed there were mega man rap:-gseatatlon. The opening day for rural h ' which have taken Fall holidays has been sat for August 14. while the other schools of the Province will open on August 3. These dates have been fixed so as to make possible the required 200 authorized teaching days before June 30 next - An appeal to parents. trustees and teachers is made by Dr. L. W. Shaw. Deputy Minister of Education, to co-oper- ate in starting the new school term off successfully. Since the schools closed in June. Dr. Shaw says he had stop- ped at nearly 100 school build- ings to look over the properties. It was a pleasure to note the way in which many districts have improved, renovated and cleaned the classroom; and, school prem- ises generally in preparation for the coming of the children and teacher on the opening day. On "the other hand. he noted a num- ber of schools which showed lack of such attention. Chances of a happy. successful year's school work depend on mak- ing a good beginning on the open- ing morning in clean. bright at- tractive surroundings, Dr. Shaw emphasizes. In urging "home and school partnership" he also stresses the importance of the relationship be- tween teuchers and parents. and lhe parents' responsibility of pro- viding suitable living accommoda- school being A resolution indorsing the pro- posed potato marketing plan in this Province, and urging "that an orderly plan of marketing that will curtail speculation and price cutting be also implemented in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia," was passed at the first annual meeting here yesterday of the Is- iand Co-op Services Cooperative Association, Ltd. Also passed was a motion stress- ing the value of dealing in qual- ity products and recommending "that quality in all our products be the aim of all co-operative dealers operating in conjunction with the I. C. S." The following directors for the ensuing year were elected: Messrs. Rod MacNevin, Alberton (re-elect- ed); Malcolm Reeves, South-port; and G. L. Monkley. Kensington. Retiring directors are Messrs. Wil- liam Delaney,- Kcnsington, and John Rodd, Milton. In submitting the financial re- port showing total 31,110,500 for the eleven period to July 31 last, and opted unanimously. The recommendation of the di- rectors was that 5 percent be the 2 percent dividends be paid on sales. It was moved that dividends remain in the I.C.S. as share cap- its-1. The credentials committee, com- prising Messrs. Leo Corcoran, Ger- ald Clark, and Joseph Gaudln, re- ported lil Co-operatives represent- delegates. porting were: Resolutions, Hudson Pridham, Gerald Handra-han, J.G. Dennis; nominations, Guy Rodd. Bernard Shea. Lavis McGuire: prcss, Jerome O'Brien, J. G. Den- fill. Representatives to attend the Maritime Co-operatives meeting at Moncton today were appointed in the persons of Mr. Annear and Mr. Horton. Congratulates Association The island Co-op Services Co- operative Association was told they had accomplished in one year what the Georgetown N. Y. Association had taken 37 years to accomplish. at the evening session of the annual meeting yesterday. Mr. ll. J. Evans, manager of the New York Co-operative Seed Po- tato Assn. Inc., Georgetown, N. Y., congratulated the P. E. I. Assn., very highly on reaching over a million dollars' worth of business in their ilrst year. and stated that it took his organization 37 years to achieve this mark. The evening session began with a dve-course dinner at the new Windmill Lodge at Dunstaffnage. Chief Of Clan Macleaiigreeled SYDNEY. N. B. Aug. a-(or)- Sir Charles Hector l'itl'oy Maeum.

Parents are advised --that new books are sometimes bought un- necessarily. "Don't worry about .....chaIlrIg new books until the pupils areg so instructed by the teacher," Dr. Shaw says. "If'your children arrive at school the first day with the books they already have and a pencil and some blank paper, they will have all they re- quire for a good full first day's work." ' - Teachers are admonished that "everything you say and do and teach while you are with your pupils during these coming days and weeks and months will form part of their characters and in- deed thelr. lives. Your attitudes. your habits of neatness and accur- acy. your use of your mother ton- gue. your cheerfulness or other- wise. all become part of those you teach." , ' The teacher who arrives in his district at 9 am. on the opening day of school "is already away to a bad start," says Dr. Shaw. Be- fore opening day teachers should familiarize themselves with their duties and surroundings, and should prepare thoroughly the work they are to do with their pupils on the first day. The first ten minutes of the first day may determine to a large extent their success or failure in that school. "Don't require pupils to pur- chase books unnecessarily," Dr. Shaw emphasises. "if in doubt. consult your supervisor." I.C.S. Meeting Indorses Potato Marketing Plan served on tables on the lawn with. about sixty members and guests present.

These were tested and found to be 100 percent, and a purchasing agent was immediately sent to this Bro- vince to buy all the seed potatoes available. He stated that the main market for Island seed at present is the United States, especially a- long the Atlantic coast. He warned growers on bringing stock into the Province without having it thoroughly checked first, and told them that no matter which type of potato they choose to grow. quality was the factor which they should always keep in mind.

Klngismere For Park To the Government. too, goes the 500-acre estate which Mr. King acquired piecemeal during a half century at Klngsmere. in the roll- ing Gstlneau Hills on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River 10 miles from here. Mr. King asked that it be preserved as a park. and that part of it be sersslda as a coun- try home for -prime ministers. The gift of Lnurier House. critt- lnally left to Mr. King by Sir Wil- frid's widow, was accompanied by most of the valuable furnishings of the home plus 5225.000 which friends had given Mr. King for its upkeep and which he had preserv- cd intact, Shortly after a summary of the will was made public today. Prime Minister St. Laurent announced that the Cabinet had recorded its acceptance of the gifts with" HD- preciation. The scholarships provided by the former Prime Minister will be set up with the income from securities valued at about 5100.- 000, given Mr. King on his 74th birthday by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and from the residue of the estate left after specific bequests. A statement from the executors said this residue would run to "several" hundred 'thousand dol- lars. Out of the revenue from the 8100.000, scholarships worth 51.500 each will be awarded to graduates of Canadian universities for study of international relations or indus- trial relatlona in United States and -United Kingdom universities. They will be known as "Mackenzie King Travelling Scholarships." The scholarships from the resi- due of the estate will be worth not more than.S1.000 apiece and will be granted to "worthy" uni- versity graduates for post-graduate studies. They will be known as "Mackenzie King Scholarships.” One of the second group is to be awarded yearly -to a graduate of Harvard University. where Mr. Kliv was a student. , Dlspoaes of Papers A major section of the former Prime Minister's will disposes of tons of his records. correspondence and other papers, placing them in :he hands of four literary execu- ors. MB Killl ordered the destruction of most of the personal diaries he kept for more than half a century. but apart from these intimate ro- corda the remainder will be avail- able for his blegrapliers and other students of what may be known In the future as the Mackenzie Kin era of Canada.

Lauriar eusa-which Mr. Kins asked be usogiiatect with the Archives-er - Popular New Naw and improved facilities for t ' enjoyment, well serviced and supervised picnic grounds and beaches are proving big attrac- tions at the National Park on the Island's norih shore. With the summer season past the half-way mark, indications are that tourist traffic in the Park will hit an all timer high this year. Visitors with camping out- fits are enjoying the many beauty spots, and much comment is heard on the new facilities which the Park has available this year. For these campers. and also for those local inhabitants who wish to take their families out for a day at the beach. the kftchen shelters and playgrounds are proving very popular. A supervised kitchen shelter in- cludes running water and wood. and these are stationed at all beaches along the Park. Dalvay has one, Stanhope four, Covehead one. Brackley one, Shore Lane one, Cavendish two. and west of Cavendish is another. In almost all sections where one finds a shelter. there is also a playground for the. children, complete with swings and teeters. information booths and refresh- ment stands have been established at Dalvay, Sianhope Beach, Brack- ley Beach and Cavendish as well as at the Club House at Green Gables. Guards Well Equipped One of the features of the beaches is the supervised swim- ming arca with lifeguards in at- tendance. Four guards are on him, one at each beach, at all hours,. and are fully equipped to meet any emergency. They have rockets and rocket suns. special boats with air chambers for use in rough weather, surf boards and resusitators. Each guard has been trained in water safety and in first .aid through the oo-operation of the Red Cross. The ifuards this year are Wilfred MacDonald. Ralph Jenkins, Jerry MacQuald and James Mair. Mr. Jenkins. the lifeguard at Brackley, was able to put his knowledge and equipment to ilood use last week when he was called to the Lodge to see if he could do anything for a four year old girl who had suffocated in her bed. He found that the child .had suffocat- ed due to vomited food. and sent for his resusitator while he ap- plied artificial respiration. Fifteen minutes after he started working on her. the child was breathing again and survived with no ill effects. The rockets and guns in their equipment enable the guards to shoot, a rope 150 yards to anyone who should be caught in the undertow. All beaches have public bath house: and convenience sta- tions, and new buildings for these purposes are being constructed along the entire shore. Public Bowling Green One of the fcniures of Dalvay is the bowling green which is available to the general public at all times. Two tennis courts are also kept in excellent condition for those who enjoy a more strenuous form of recreation. Long Pond, Dalvay, is well stocked with -perch and trout, and a boat is provided for fishermen who wish to try their luck. At the Sianhope Lane section a new softball diamond has been prepar- ed and a bandstand is under con- struction and nearing completion. Tables and benches will be instal- led .in this for the use of visitors in inclement weather. Tennis courts are being con. structed at Stanhope which is said to be the most popular of all the beaches. Brackley Beach also has new tennis courts which are much in demand by visitors. Construction of the new recrea- tion centre has been started at Cavendish. and a large marquee has been. erected for temporary use. Sports director George An- drews, working in co-operation wiihhthe Travel 'Bureau provides a daily program of events. This innovation is proving popular and provides for tennis, golf. deep sea ilshing, hiking and outings such as hay rides and welner roasts. At Green Gables Visitors to Green Gables num- bered approximately 6,800 during the month of July. and as many as 500 signed the register in one day. The home of the beloved character of Anne, created by Lucy Maud Montgomery. has been re- decorated, and the rooms used by Anne, Marilla and Thomas have been restored and attract many thousands of visitors. Each room has personal 'touci'ies such as might have been left behind by the characters in the well known books. These include hat-pins and mauve wool scarf in Marilla's, straight razor and shaving mug in Thomas'. and a freshly picked rose in ,Anne's. The annual memorial service in honor of Miss Montgomery will be held on the last Sunday of this month, with Chief Justice Thane A. Campbell as guest speaker. Ser- vices are held in the openfand the singing of the Island Hymn is one of the features. The original copy of this hymn, written by Miss Montgomery, is kindly loan- ed by Mrs. R. R. Bell, Charlotte- town, and is on display in Green Gables. where Miss Vivien Wood- side, Kensington, is hostess. to individuals, institutions or pub- lic bodies. The will gave no breakdown of the make-up of Mr. King's estate. However. the executors said it in- cluded the former Prime Minis- ter”: personal savings. investments and insurance funds. and various legacies. gifts and personal trust funds which came to him for his personal use but which he always segregated and treated as though they were public trusts. They said it was believed the cslale would National Park This Season Fiiciiities Green Gables Bungalow Courts, which includes some fourteen modernly-equipped cabins, was re- cently put into operation. The coucessionaire is Mr. R. Humph- rey, Kensington, who reports an excellent season with bookings as far ahead as 1052. Plans provide for ten more cabins to be erected as soon as possible in the Court overlooking the Iaka of Shining Waters. Roads throughout the National Park are kept oiled and are prac- ticsily dust free. Plans for the future include a shore road run- ning as close to the sea as pos- sible along the entire length of the Park. This new route includes a bridge across Covehesd Har- bour, and another which will run from Brackley Point to Rusiico, with Rusiico Island in the centre. Seed Potato Men Visit Here from New York The visiting seed potato men from Georgetown, New York. Mes- srs. H. J. Evans, Manager of the New York Seed Potato Association and directors "skip" Robel and Bruce Cottrell have certainly been impressed with the Island scenery and hospitality. The men flew down from Nor- wich. New York Monday morning to attend yesterday's meeting of the Island Co-operative Services Lim- ited. Their plane is piloted by lfr. Emggard, who has piloted the priv- ate planes of Presidents Roosevelt and 'Iiruman of the U. S. A. Their first interest in the land- scape here was to view the potato fields. They hope to import. large quantities of Island potatoes this coming season as they were greatly impressed with the spuds they re- ceived from the Island co-operative Services Limited last year. Mr. cottrell produces about 100 acres of potatoes annually and holds the distinction of being the first seed potato grower in the state of New York. Today the visitors will try some deep sea fishing and afterwards tour the western section of the province to view potatoes. They will return to their homes Thursday. Sasli.
