“Emil v MEETING or mi Elli. [nteresting Address . .1 Delivered By Rev. iFather Lyons 0i I Chicago. I The spacious Council Chamber of ‘he 1g.“ c. Hall was filled to its “ppcity last evening when Rev. m F_ P, Lyons oi Chicago, one of the most distinguished‘ members oi m, Pailllst Order, addressed the a w_ 1,, members and many other indies oi St. Dunstanb and Holy gpdccmcr P01151188- The PI‘ dent of the League. My; F. J. Casey, presided, intro-- gum the speaker and extended him a most cordial welcome on be- half of those present. She also Jhanked His Excellency Rt. Rev. J. A. O'Sullivan, for his thought oi us, in bringing such a noted speak- s to conduct the Lenten sermons in the Basilica. Father Lyons gave a. most inter- Jstlng discourse on His Holiness, ‘ pope Pius XI. He spoke oi the early life of Hisl-Iollness, of his ordination to the Holy Priesthood, and of his work during that time. l-Iis rapid rise to the Chair of Peter was unsought and unwanted by him but he realized that he was fulfilling God's will by his accept- ing. _ The speaker then explained the procedure in the election oi a Pope, and dwelt upon the beauti- ful and . significant ceremonies ivhich take plaice when the Pope assumes his sacred office. Father Lyons was in Rome at that time, and was privileged to attend these ceremonies. He re- mained in Rome for several years and had an opportunity to learn more regarding the Pontiff than an ordinary visitor could hope for. l-‘rom his talk one gleaned much oi the personality of the Holy Father. Tenderness, ‘humility, sim- plicity, piety and yet marvellous strength, tremendous force and keenness of mind, mark the char- acteristics oi this great man. , At the conclusion of the address , note oi thanks which was gra- ciously moved by Mrs. F. Murray and seconded by Miss Margaret Dougan was tendered Fr. Lyons. 1n responding the speaker corn- plimented the Icagueon the great work being done by it all over the wcrldflln Rome as well as in every city oi almost every country in the world, the League was doing God's work. Catholic a‘cticn so strongly iirnd by His Holiness, meant in a 14180 sense the very work the lflsiie is doing, namely Social Service work-helping the poor, lick and afflicted; teaching chris- tian doctrine; missionary work and "i"? other works too numerous to mention. .

B. and N. 13., such competition being detrimental to our producers, RESOLVED: THAT, we, the Delegates, as- sembled, here at Annual Conven- tion favor some form of working arrangement‘ being made with the Maritime Co-operative Egg d: Poultry change, whereby we may get a bet r price for our poultry products and reduce overhead ex- penses. And further resolved that our in- coming Board oi Directors or a Committee of the Directors be in- structed to meet at the earliut possible date with the Board or a Committee of the Maritime Co-op- erative Egg 8t Poultry Exchange to discuss the whole situation and work out a Joint arrangement in the interests oi both organizations, effective in time for this Springs production. And further resolved that‘ the Directors be empowered to take such action as may be required to put this resolution into effect, ad- vising all Circles promptly by let- tar oi the steps they have taken, and if deemed necessary, calling another general meeting oi Dele- gates to ratify such action. Moved by .0. C. LePage, Rustlco Circle, Seconded by J. W. McLean, Southern King's. Carried. J. J. Leightizer in connection with the Maritime Egg Exchange stated that when the latter organ- ization was formed no invitation had been given the local Asso- ciation. The rate of handling the eggs on the Mainland was more than 100% higher than here. Qual- ity was the point to be stressed, he believed. When one wished to dis- pose oi large quantities oi eggs, one must consider the larger mar- kets, such airthose of Montreal. Messrs. W. P. McLellan, W. N. Jenkins, J. O. Hyndman, Peter Brodie and others also expressed their views. The concensus of opinion was that no financial union with the other Maritime or- ganization should be entered into. Approval was in general expressed 0n the resolution as read. Checking Losses Whereas a. Circular letter of date March 17th, 1932, from the Central Association shows an estimated loss of $20,875.00. A And as some oi the items at least are beyond the control oi the producer, namely cracked eggs, cases lost or destroyed. THEREFORE RESOLVED: That in future we ask the Man- agement to keep a closer check on where the loss is sustained, so that it can be charged up to some care- less Manager, or the Railway to whom it belongs, and not be charg- ed up to the whole Association. Moved by W. N. Jenkins. Seconded by John N. Proiitt. Carried. Mr. J. J. Leightizer stated that he would like to have authority for the management to charge the egg circles with all cases not accounted for by the circles. ‘Hie suggestion was made by Mr. Russel MacLarell, New Perth, that greater responsibility in this regard be auumed by the Circles. The mover and seconder also spoke to the resolution. F68 An amendment to a resolution set the membe ship fee at 25 cents instead oi one dollar as at present. Dlsapprovsl No. 5. Whereas, In the mouth of August almost every Circle was da- ily losing members, and some l0 or more Circles held meetings and de- cided that it would be in the inter- est oi the Association to have a gen- eral meeting in Charlottetown while the cars‘ were running, and request- ed that such a meeting be called, but because there was some slight A Committee on Nominations was appointed as follows: Mrs. J. A. McDonald, Convener? Mn, Geo. McCIuigan, Miss P. Dorsey. Nominations were made bybaliot, and handed to Convener, to whom ballots may be sent for two weeks by those not present. Several out oi town visitors were present, Mrs. J. Murphy. H0110 River; map-Jae. Morris. 3648014: Mrs, Jug, Glynn and Mrs. W‘. 0.

That we take this our first opportunity to express disapproval of such an act, and to voice our disappointment at not be- ing able to get together at that time. Moved by Ernest Houston, second- ed by W. N. Jenkins. Carried. Mr. J. R. Munn explained that u number r!‘ the requests fro: tfic cir- cles had been sent in by Mr. Austin Leard, and riot directly; and hence they were ignored. He had not thought that the Association should go to the expense of a special meet- i118 The following resolution was mov- ed by Mr. J. R. Hogan and second. ed by Mr. 0. C. LePage: Resolved that the incoming board of directors shall call for tenders for the managing of the P. E. I. Egg and Poultry Association. Mr. Hogan believed that the source oi trouble in the Association was want oi confidence iii the man- agement, and ‘ stanced dropping oil.‘ in membership oi egg circles. He said he had lost 0 cents a dozen on 195 dozen oi eggs. Mr. O. C. LePage also stated that confidence had been lost in the management, which he commended for the financial statement. The Association had placed the blame on the farmers, but the Association had gone dcwn. The motion was carried by a num- ber oi dissenting votes, but a num- ber oi objections wer: immediately voiced, and a motion passed that the matter be reconsidered. Mr. A. F. Peters believed that it was a mistake to call tenders for such a. position, and stated that it was impossible to get o. better man to do the work of the organization than Mr. Leightizer. Mr. Milton Furness voiced his opposition on the grounds that the Association would lose men who had spent a. life time in the business, and who knew their work. - _ Mr. J. J. MacGilllvray did riot think that the present was an op- portune time to try out new men. Experience was required, and if it had not been for George Ireightlzer there would have never been a cir- cle_ organized. The management had given satisfaction from the begin- hing. Mr. John Macheod agreed that it was unwise to change, but advocat- ed reduction in overhead. Mr. J. O. Hyndman favoured re- tention oi the management, as he believed that there was no man in Canada who had a. more thorough knowledge oi eggs and poultry than Mr. Ieightizer. To the latter he paid a very high tribute. Mr. T. G. Wiggington pointed out that the Association had been los- ing money. A number of other opinions were also “expressed. On motion the resolution was withdrawn. Confidence Expressed Resolved: That the members at , this annual session desire to give .re- newed assurance of their continued faith in the principle oi co-opera- tion and to express their confidence in the Management of the Associa- tion. Moved by J. H. Livingstone, sec- onded by P. A. Mclsaac. Carried. Announcement was made by the Secretary that Mr. Frank Handra- han, Pisquid, had won the cup for the highest percentage oi extras. Annual Report Following is the nineteenth an- nual report by the Directors of the Prince Edward Island Cooperative Egg 8r Poultry Association present- ed by Mr. J. R. Munn, President: Your directors have pleasure in submitting this Annual Report covering the operations of your As- sociation for the year ending De- cember 31st, 1032. The consolidated statement of Assets and Liabilities, also the loss and gain statement, duly certified by the Association's auditor, will be presented for your approval at this meeting. The decrease in the value oi eggs and poultry is due to the continued unsatisfactory conditions prevail- ing throughout the country, brought about in part by the lack oi purchasing power of consumers, due to widespread unemployment. This condition is general, not only in Canada, but also in the majority oi countries. of the world. ‘rrade .. pcctsl The lrmperlal Economic Confer- ence held at Ottawa during July will open other avenues through which we may enlarge our trade connections. It is only possible m obtain "this added distribution if we can assure a continuous supply of cggs to overseas buyers. In this connection it is timely to draw‘ your attention to the volume of eggs handled during the Season 1m amounting to 001.60 docenn, a decrease oi so per cent as mm. pared with our banner year Iss1. The ‘principal factors entering The meeting then adioiiriicd. Iinto the cdum ior the decrease in [fir-Y THE CHARLOTTETOWN .__ i-‘J, volume may be grouped under three headings. ' (A) The delay in sending out bonus checks due for the year's business oi 1931. ' (B) Dlfllculty to get circle col- lectors; or members to assume responsibility as circle omcers. (C) The low market value couraged greater consumption eggs by the producers. With reference to (A) Your board or Directors knowing that the Association had on hand at the close oi 1931 dressed poultry to the value of $31,000.00 and frozen egg melange worth $7,800, and in view oi the fact that Marketing condi- tions for both products were ex- tremely dull, they advised the Management to defer bonus pay- ments until such time as sales of products would permit paying of bonus to all circles. This course was taken in order to keep interest charges at lowest possible point, to have our merchandize free ‘from any incumrberanoog and to main- tuln the financial standing oi the Association. wherein it was expect- ed the Memcmbership would carry a certain amount of their own financial risk. l en- oi A circular letter covering these points was sent to each Circle sec- retary. Unfortunately, in 50111:: instances, the information was not given to the members, and in oth- ers where it was explained. soliir- of the lllelnlbers did not believe it. Bonuses As a direct consequence. many members refused to ship eggs until bonus money was paid..Irr this way. we lost volume and membership. (b) The shipments made by Circles through the year would seem to indicate that Circle oiflc- ers do not make proper arrange- ments with Collectors in order to secure necessary service for the ‘Circle members. _ The following figures taken from the Head Office record shows that 30 Circles shipped during 12 months of the year, 7 shipped dur- lng 11 months of the year, 6 ship: ped 10 months oi the year. 7 ship- pcd 9 months oi’ theyear, 4 shipped 8 months of the year, 2 shipped 7 months of the year, 3 shipped 6 months oi the year, 2 shipped 5 months of the year, l shipped 6 months of the year (had no collec- tor at all.) _ The above conditions do not apply only to the past season shipments but applies also to for- mer years to s, greater or less degree. Surelv there is med oi im- provement in this matter. Out of .a. total oi 62 Circles ship- ping eggs dlirlng 1932, only six of them made weekly shipments throughout the entire year: Q1150 Circles were: Bangor, East Point. Elmsdale, Ellerslie, Orwell Cove. and Southern Kings. ' Your Directors are of tho opin- ion that our Membership cannot be maintained under such condit- ions, neither call members receive the full benefit of Co-operative Marketing when they ship eggs in- termittently and only during the low price period. , The percentage of lihrtras receiv- ed amounted to fifty-one percent of total volume. This is nn increase of 3 per cent over the previous season. Bad eggs decrease in pro- portion to receipts but the amount oi 6,000 dozens is still too high. Shortages in shipments totalled 28,700 doz. which is one item that increases expenses which Circle Collectors can almost entirely eliminate. Only one Circle, Southern Queens had a. gain in production, this amounting to 522 dozens, all other Circles had decreased as the total hsridlings indicate. Four Circles ceased shipping en- tirely, viz: New London, Darnlcy, St. Georg- es and St. Catherlnes. Three of these Circles have bccn showing a steady decline during the past tllrcc years, the other one was a. comparatively new Circle. The number oi Circles within the Association is now sixty-two. During the year, 113 new mem- berships were granted, the total membership is now 3,320 being practically the same as for tho year 10M. Price Factor With Relation To Membership I .

This practice is to be encouraged as it sccms unnecessary for farmers to ‘import wheat corn and barley when they can grovrrl practically." all feeds required for successful production of both eggs and poul- try. Hatchery Tile Community’ Hatchc“ did not operate as the demand irr day old chicks did not warrant the ex- pense oi operation. All orders re- ceived were filled by the Associa- tion in co-operation with members who formerly supplied us with hatching eggs, operating small iri- cirbators. The gross business tum- over roi- 1992 amounted to e225,- 4,77.86, which in view oi the de- crease in market values of both eggs and multry would indicate a very creditable volume for the year. You Directors consider the Nsiilts of the year satisfactory in view of the prevailing business conditions throughout the country at large. ‘it can truthfully be said the Management oi your Associ- ation is employing sound business principles and practices, as our financial report will clearly indi- cate. Excellent facilities are pro- vided, producers to market poultry products in a sane, safe and sound method. ' Grading Constant care in the supervision 'of the grading statloll and the Head Office is being maintained to increase efficiency and keep cost at as low a point as possible. Economies in cvcry reasonable manner are being effected, having in mind that efficiency in oper- ation and services to the members and clientele must be maintained at a high level if we may hope to retain and enlarge our sphere oi business and co-opcrative effort. A review of the past and existing situation in the poultry industry would seem to indicate that the lien is more than holding her oivn in the general depression: that there is a prospect oi brighter things to come in the present year for those who will put forth an effort to care for their poultry flock arid produce high quality of eggs and poultry. Co-operatlon Co-opci-ation on a basis of qual- ity will be advantageous to all concerned. Now, more than ever before, co-opcratlon and unity is needed by agriculturlsts. Your Directorate wish to thank aill members who have contributed t0 the welfare of tlic Association, to the Management, the Press. The Departments oi Agriculture, Fed- eial and Provincial. In conclusion, we suggest to all qircie Officers that they take in- rest in the operation oi their ircle, co-operatc with the Circle Collector, and lruvc Circle Meet- "188 at least twice yearly. one flhml? after ilic Alliilfll Conven- l-lfifl 0i Delegates, if at all possible.

The reserve account was also provided for; the amount oi the reserve now stands at $31,089.60 which represents the present worth of the Association over and above all current liabilities. Practically all of this reserve is invested in real estate, equipment and stock of cases, fillers and other Merchan- dize. It may be well at this point to cxplaillt in detail some of the items| appearing irl tllc a/bovc siatcmenL; in. explain ilicm quite fully iii ilio dvlt, . l Handling Costs The cost per dozen to handle eggs including all expenses, except packages, was 2.90. This is a slight increase over last year, but It ls still, we believe, considerably under the handling cost of any concern in Canada opcriiiififl a similar business. The average price returned to all members was 1312c. It is signifi- cant to note that the averafle Bd- vance price offered during the, year, on a. basis of 50 per cent ex- tras, figures out at 15.780 not in- iclilding any bonus; but adding the same percent oi bonus, it would bl- 17.800. In checking up some of the‘ Circle returns it is noted tllflli some members received an average hr 13¢ per dozen and a largo num- bcr received prices of 15 1'3 l0 l7 l-2. This scenls to indicate that our members are not all getting the full lirrncills uilalluizlc by liiarkcl- lug llLCPgl‘. tile [is.sc;-i.i‘.';ii. Production Production. It is also noted that only seventeen individuals shipped in over one thousand dozens; in this number Mr. Martin Compton, Bangor Circle shipped the largest, viz: 2,059 doz. Mr. John H. Davey Southern Kings was second with 1,563 doz. Mr. J. R. Conlpton, Ban- gor was third with 1,459. Mrs. Frank Glllis, Bangor, 1,626 dozens. The average production P01‘ member was 290 doz. This is cn- tirely too low. With an average of twelve dozen per hen (which is a production too low for profit) means that approximately only 25 laying hens are kept per member- Surely there is cause for serious consideration of this situation. i i‘ z-llatcral Notes \'»llili reference to the By-Law covering the procedure of signing and sending collateral notes to Head Office. Many Circle Officers are not attending to this matter. The By-Laws distinctly stale that Annual Meetings of Egg Circles shall be held in the month of Jan- uary or February. and that the collateral note shall be signed at the Circle Annual Meeting, also, that upon receipt of the new note by the Head Office. the previous year's note shall be returned to tlic President of tllc Circle. The fol- lowing summary will show that these regulations are not Iirillg carried clit. Notes received for 1932: January 3, February 9, March ll, Ilprll 7, Mny 5, Jllnc 14, July 2.

Tim Office should be notified time any additions or dfidilillflu, are made. The By-Laws arc very plain as regards the ulctliods io be followed. but very few Circles carry out the instructions as con- tained ln By-Laws. The above points are brought to your atten- tion in order that you may realize that there are certain unnecessary difficulties being placed on tllc Management and in some instan- ces added expenses are incurred.
