And particularly to these children's schools where all the chairs and tables are built for six- year-olds. They did in again in Korea and we would hunch over typewriters at night sitting at these tiny bits of furniture. This is a war in which corres- pondents had no standard uniforms and everything from civilian cloth- es to bits and pieces of last war equipment were worn by reporters. Many of us did not even have tin hats. We wore no identification discs. Nobody knew our blood type if we were hit.

Eli-(ii'Tssus (Continued from page 1) i& last annual meeting on March 2nd. 1 50. Tefluestlng that the directors ocecd to register the Prince Ed- ward Island Potato Growers' As- sociation under the Co-operative Associations Act and amendments thereto. When the directors made an attempt to carry out the inten- tion of this resolution, their right to do so was challenged. 011 whose authority were the direct. ors making this request to the Legislature? - "When informed that I,resolui- ion was passed It the annual meeting of our Association auth- orizing the directors to do so, your directors were asked to give a guarantee that this resolution was passed by a majority of the mem- bers atiendlng this Association meeting. This, the directors were unable to do, because there was no means of ascertaining whether or not this resolution was sup- ported by nibmbers or non-mem- bers." In order to clarify the situation, Mr. Wright submitted the follow- lug facts: . "The P.E.I. Potato Gi'owers' Association was incorporated in 1921; by the Statute (Chapter 23”: the Asocialion was to have all the powers incident to a corpora- tion under the Act relating to corporate bodies. The Association was given power to carry on the business of wholesale and retail merchants in all kinds of goods. wares and merchandise and to carry on the business of ware- housemen. ..”By Section 6 at the annual general meeting or a special meeting the members of the Association could make by- laws for proper management of the affairs of the Association and these by-laws might provide the terms upon which members are to be admitted to the Association. By Section 7 the directors could repeal. amend or re-enact the by- laws but every appeal. amend- ment or re-enactment would only have effect until the next annual meeting and if not confirmed then or by a special general ineeiinr; ceased to have effect." Quotes By-Laws "We have a printed copy of by- laws dated July Ill, 1031. We can- not find the minutes of the annual meeting passing these by-laws but the printed by-laws were distri- buted among the membens and have always been regarded as the- by-laws of the Association. We may say in explanation that the Association suffered 3. fire in its promises in the Tweel Building and this explains the fact that the minutes are not available We would point out the following by- laws relating to membership: After quoting the by-laws :clat- ing to membership Mr. Wright coli- tinued: "Up to and including the year 1965: the members of the Associa- tion were those who had signed the approved contract and paid their fees and notices of the an- nual meeting were sent to the members. Everything appears to have been perfectly in order up to this time. In this year the - As- sociation was III financial difficul- ties and the Provincial Govern- ment guarantoed loans at the Bank of Nova scotia up to 3100.- 000 on the understanding that all Association profits be credited against the deficit and no rehatc be paid to members until the guarantee was satisfied. To give effect to this agree- ment iha directors in September 1935 passed the following bv-laws; Mr. Wright went on to cite the by-laws by the'diiecf.ors in Sep- tember. 1935. giving effect to this agreement. They provided that in order to add to the membership under contract, no membership fees be henceforth collected; to provide that all farmers marketing farm products through the Association be considered full members without signing the contract formerly re- quired. and that all profits he cre- dited against the deficit and '10 rc- bates be paid to members until the Government guarantee was fully satisfied. "At the next annual meeting in July." Mr. wright added. "these by-laws were not confirmed as far as we can learn. We do not have I copy of the minutes of the 1936 annual meeting but I full report is contained in the newspapers of the day following and this contains no reference to I confirmation so we must assume clauses 21!. Ti. and 24 ceased to have Iny effect on the day following the annual meeting "The directors however carried on the affairs of the Association on the assumption that these by-laws were in effect as passed by the directors and the wording of the statute was not brought to their attention.

The picnic was held under smil- ing skies at Stanhope Beach and approximately forty-five guests were on hand to enjoy the treats of ice cream. candy and fruit. The winner of the "candy on-a- strlng" contest was George ifaines, operator of the C. N. I. B. can- teen at the Charlottetown Hospital and second prize went to eleven- ycar-old John Pippy of the P. E. I Protestant. Orphanage. Many chuckles passed through the group of picnicers during the "balloon- blowing" contest. After much puff- lng Mrs. Caroline Gillis of Grafton Street successfully burst her bal- loon. and Miss Lucille Gauthier of Upper Queen Street claimed the second lady's prize. First men's balloon--blowing prize was taken by Master John Pippy. while Wolaston "Billy" Maclilachem of North Riv- er came second. Gifts, including cigarettes. cigars, tobacco. and toiletries. were given by the Women's Auxiliary to the blind picnlce . and an excellent lunch of san wiches, home-made cookies and cakes. was served with tea to all present. Special guests at the outing iti- cluded W. Chester s. McLurv-, MP. Miss Lena McLure and Mrs. I-lines of Vancouver. B. C. At the conclu- sion of the afternoon's fresh air activities. the hlind guests of the C. N. I. 13. gave three rousing C'll8cl's for the twelve members of the Women's Auxiliary who serv- ed at the picnic. It was agreed by all present. that the first picnic for the blind was a real success, and the local Field Set-retaigv. Mr. G. E. Wood. highly complimented Mrs. W. J. P. Mac- Millaii, President of the C. W. A.. and her co-workers for having brought real happiness to the pic- nic guests. lie also echoed the wish of all the plcnicers that such social outings will become an annual event here as they have in other Maritime centres. ' Plans are alreadyunder consid- eration for parties to be held dur- lng the fall and winter. so that the blind of Charlottetown can enjoy making social contacts. any member of the Association: the only result would be that he might be called upon to pay up his arrears if he were not subsequently relieved by the Association from paying dues. "On March 31. 1948 the directors in view of the loan having been greatly reduced discussed member- ship fees but it was decided to take no action. At the annual meeting held April 1. 1048. the action of the directors was approved. "Regular annual meetings were held yearly after due advertise- ment in the local newspapers. These were well attended had the affairs of the Association were fully discussed and directors were ap- pointed and carried on the same way as had been the custom before .33 except that notices "of meet- ings were not mailed to the mem- bers and no membership fees were collected. we have ll complete list. of the members as of 1935 and as well have a list. of those who were patrons of the Association since 1935. "At the annual general meeting of the Association held March 2. 1950 the following resolution was passed: 'That we decide that those entitled to vole at future meetings will be all those growers who were patrons of the Potato Growers: Association as of 1035 and since." "This is quoted to give you the feeling of those present at this meeting although it may he ob- jected that the 1050 atmual meet ing was attended by many who were not members in 1935. A great majority of those present however would be those who were members of the Association. "Since the batik loan is now down to 515.000 and the financial position of the Association is such that this loan can be paid off at any time the directors propose to have this done." In order to clarify the position of the Association. directors now pro- posed to amend by-law 11 to pro- vide that no member shall oe re- vuired to sign this contract from and after Sept. 1. 1935: to amend by-law 12 to provide that no initi- ittion fee or regular annual fee be imposed or collected from any member since 1935 and that all those who have been, in the opin- ion of the directors. patrons of the Assoclatioii since that year. be deemed to be members in flood standing; patrons to include hold- ers of debentures in the Associa- tion. nicvrnbcrsliip in Association not to be transferrable. IN MEMORIAM l REV. I. I-2. I.INKl.F.TTF.R iii.-my friends in lhis Prnviiive will regret to learn of lhe death of Rev. I. E. Llnkleller. which oc- curred at. Sioux Falls. South Da- koln on Monday whilst vacation- ing (hero with his wife and dough- tcr. Ethel. The late Mr. Linklelter left this Province in 1900 to prepare for ihe. ministry.

Sli- Island Odds And Ends our City street department is get- ting in some good flicks" these days. and citizens have remarked that the work of creating more parking space is of a very practical nature. The programme has been well planned, is proceeding swiftly. and has al- ready greatly assisted the parking problem in the city. The money, which is being expended has cert- ainly never been put to better use, and the improvements being made will make it safer and more pleas- ant for all motorists, who use our city streets. Aside from its practical nature. it provides work for quite a large number of men. 0 O t Mr. Ivan Nicholson, manager of the local branch of M. F. Schur- man Co. Ltd.. gives it. as his opin- ion. that more construction work is underway in Charlottetown and Summerside than at any time since the war. This is startling. in view of the fact that the building boom has been underway ever since the end of hostilities in 194.5. The schurman Company alone has twelve jobs in hand. five in Summerside and sev- en in Charlottetown. All of these jobs are financed by the Dominion or Provincial Governments. or busi- ness firms. One of their biggest construction projects is the new Dominion Building at. Summerslde. Incidentally this building was talk-' cd of long after plans were being made to build a similar building in Charlottetown. and will likely be built and occupied before the Char- lottetown building is constructed. The Western town always had the reputation of being hustlers and they are still "right on the beam" in this respect. I Two Dutch families who lived in Nova scotla for about ten years. but who settled at Big Point. ncsr Flat River. this Spring are growing a variety of potatoes new to this Province. It is said they are very high yielding tubers. as much as four hundred to five hund-red bush- els per acre. At least they have yielded this number of bushels in British Columbia where it is said they were first grown in Canada. There is considerable work connect- ed with the new variety of spuds, in-as-much as they must be irrig- ated almost daily at this time of year. They also call for a special Iype of fertilizer. which is quite expensive and not easily obtainable. Farmers in the vicinity of Flat Riv- er are watching the experiment and it results live up to advanced notic- es there will probably be quite a demand for seed stock from this farm next year. I The Islands population remains almost stationary and we do not share in the rapid increase which fills up the vacant spaces in other parts of Canada. This condition of remaining in the doldrums might, under the impact of all-out war change rapidly. When some of the highly industrialized or shipping centres begin to fear the arrival of atomic bombs. the peaceful agricult- ural countryside of P. E. I. might look very enticing to people who have the means to move here. Such a development is not a fanci- iul dream butadistinctlikeilhood if a. third war starts. Of course only people living on an assured income could move into the Province, be- cause we have not the industrial set-up to look after large numbers of Workers nor. could our farmers absorb more than a limited number of people. 0 O 0 Mr. W. R. Shaw, Deputy Minister of Agriculture who returned a short while ago from a trip to Europe was very much impressed by the effic- ioncy of farming in the British Isles. He was amazed by the size of the dairy farms he visited; one of these had 700 head of registered stock. He found that the old country farmers were well educated farming men and farmed on a large scale, and were if anything. not only ab- reast of scientific farming principles but perhaps a little ahead of this continent in many respects. Farm- ers in the old land under the Lab- our Government are obtaining n great deal of financial assistance, I state of things which in Mr. Shaw's opinion cannot continue indefinitely. l-Iowever. the farms are flourishing and the farmers get I guaranteed price for everything they can raise. 0 O O Criticism of the way in which the pari-mutuel betting is handled at the Charlottetown race track has been freely expressed during the summer. Many of those who place bets complain that the "Board" does not show the correct odds quick enough. It is quite true that the odds change slowly except just be- fore post time. when many people hasten to the wickets to buy "long shots." At the same time. it must be remembered that tickets are sold at many wickets, nd that the inform- ation must he gathered from each wlckct on all horses. the totals pre- pared and phoned to the other side of the. l.rack. As soon as the totals are received they are posted. it would appear that the only justifiable explanation which can be made is that human beings are slower on arithmetic. than the mod- ern mutual machines installed at the bigger tracks; these machines record each ticket as sold and the odds change almost from second to second. Last week no mutual tickets were sold within one minute of post time. and this was much more satisfactory than formerly. when tickets were sold up to the minute the "Gate" started to move. The Driving Park management has I number of competent people com- puting the odds and generally hand- ling the fi connected with pari-mutiiel betting. and the people who know the men behind the seen- on have every confidence in their honesty and efficiency.

Much experience was obtIlned on the proper method of running off such I competition and next year it is hoped that many im- provemenls will be made to facil- ltate the crowds and large num- ber of entries. Next year it is also planned to have an easier course for the younger operators and both courses to be roped off. Special thanks are due the ma- chine companies. through whose generosity the competition was made possible. A Farmall. Case. Massey-Harris. Cockshuti. Ford. Ferguson. Allis-Ch-almers. and three John Deere tractors were available to the compeliions and all were used. Much genuine in- terest was shown in the tractors by many of those attending the field day and the general feeling of the companies was that their afternoon was well spent. The following oil ccmpanies have generously donated the fol- lowing amounts of prize money. (Each company was solicited for 35.00): B. A. Oil Co., 05.00; Irving OilCo.. 35.00; Superllne Oils. S500; McColl-Frontenac (J. D. Stewart) s5.00; and Imperial Oil Co., the very generous sum of 315.00, with the specification that a certain sum be set aside and awarded to the grand ohampion driver.
