The second resolution requested the Provincial Government. to take any steps possible to remedy the condition of a number of fields along the public highways not being fenced. An animated discussion took place on both these resolutions and various speakers stressed that it. was hard to get enough road machinery at present and the 1a- bour situation was also acute, but they thought some priorities for additional road machinery should he given to this Province. President Dingwell highly com- plirnented the bus services mad- ered in this Province and said that at one time last year. owing to the condition of the road east of 8111115. the buses for a. time cnulcl not operate there and this caused great inconvenience to the Another speaker suggestedb that e se- cured to haul aravel that it should be shipped to certain centres by freight and he felt the would get it moved out to the road someway or other. During the discussion on the "fence" resolution. a speaker said that farmers whose cattle happen- ed to get out through accident and rio some damage in a field that wasn't fenced. were respon- sible for the damage done; and on top of that if the cattle got into fields of potatoes recently spray- ed it was very dangerous. A speak- er asked if the law of the Province defined the difference betwen a "road fence" and a "line fence”. A resolution was passed request- ing that the annual meeting of the P.. E. I.

Over 50,000 Individ- ual tests on birds were made this year. He urged farmers to maln- tain a. high standard of sanita- tion in their poultry flocks. He saw p great field of work ahead for the Farmers’ Institutes of this Province who are now assisted so materially by the Government. Discusses Education Mr. Reginald MacDonald, gener- si secretary of the Teachers’ Fed- eration of Prince Edward Island, who addressed the afternoon meet- ing, said that the roblems of ed- ucation and agricu ture should be lnsepartibly linked. He thought that the primary grades in the schools of necessity should all get the same preliminary teaching and that provision later on should be made for those who intend to take up the arts or the professions but that technical education should look alter the great proportion of those who arc content to remain in this Province. l-Ie said many one room schools are overcrowded.

Mr. Boll wanted the Premier to boar in mind that he owed his political success to being associat- ed with farming interests. He hop- ed to itear much from the real “dirt" farmers, twtt of uhom were on each sidc of the House. Mr. Bell recalled that in thc 1939 campaign tltcrc has an effort made to garner Liberal votes through old age pensions. The Goveriunent sent letters out lust before the election, promising a five dollar increase. That promise was ncver fulfilled. Again on Sept. l0 last, four days before the elm:- tion, a lctlcr was sent to old age pensioners in this Province. It read: "Dear Sir or Madam: Due to rcccnt arrangements lrctwccn the Province 0i‘ Prince Edward Island and the Dominion (inv- ernment, the maximum old agc and blind pension nnW payable in the Province is twenty-five dollars per month. In the course of the ncrz‘. few weeks your check tviil go fortvhrrl on the new basis." i t This letter was signed “OW. ‘Campbell, superintendent of Old ‘Ago Pensions.” . That, Mr. Bell contended. “was sent out for the solc purpose of garnering votes.” On the next day Sept. ll. the Patriot, in u large dis- play advertiscnlcnt featuring al- leged Liberal hcitcfaciions, stated: “For the aged an old age pension of S25 which becomes payable in a few weeks. For the blind over forty yours the same pension as the aged." Ml". Bcli said this propagnitda was plainly intcndcd to dcccive pensioners info believing that they would all receive twenty-five, dol- lars a month.

A discussion then took til-ace on transportation and it was suggest- ed that the Provincial Government give some assistance to the es- tablishment of grain storage places era’ Summer School should be at various points on tltc Island so that a reserve of grains could bc brought in during the fall months of 1044 to prevent a situation surh lng to the difficulties the car fer- ry has in making trips. At the conclusion of thc meet- ing a vote of thanks was passcd to the Press, for the space they have allotted to the reports of the various farmers‘ meetings and sev- eral stated that a lot of fanncrs who could not get lnin the meet.- ings were enabled to road the de- tailed newtspapet reports, which were of real value to them.
