MMDONALD The people of Glen William and surrounding dis ts were deeply saddened to learntof the untimely death of Mrs. Malcolm A. Mac- Donald which occurred at the Vic- toria General Hoepital, Halifax on June 17, 1954 after a week's ill- ness. Mrs. MacDonald was born in Glen Wiiliain, June 11. 1884, daughter of the late Roderick and Sarah Bruce MacLeod and had lived all her life there until twelve years ago when she and her family mov- ed to Halifax. Her death was a great shock to her dear ones, who today mourn the passing of a dear wife, a beautiful tender mother, a devoted sister and a steadfast friend and neighbor. Her place will never be filled as she so pleasantly and unselfishly filled it in the home and community. Possessed by a rich coiitraito voice she was always wil- ling to help with her musical tal- enta. Besides a. large circle of friends she leaves to mourn her passing her sorrowing husband, one daugh- ter, Catherine, Mrs. Robert Jenkins.

He told Mr. Nattia that if the selling agency were operating now. the price paid would be the same. no matter in what part of the Island a producer shipped. NEEDS LICENCE Another question asked Mr. Mac- Donald was, "Does a farmer have to have a dealers licence to ship his own potatoes." This was ans- wered by saying that according to the Board's policy, all potatoes shipped outside the province were subject to the regulations of the Board. That is, a license is required But if potatoes are sold within the province between two growers or to local retail outlets, the producer has a free hand in their disposal: Mr. MacDonald was subjected to some criticism for the delay that had been experienced in getting settlement for potatoes sold last year. He agreed that there was some delay but attributed it to the tremendous volume of business that the Board was obliged to handle with an untrained staff. He assured the meeting that initial payments could now be made within ten days of shipping and the final settlement within two weeks after the end of the particular pool period. A member of the audience asked "what are you going to do if you have a note to meet at the Bank. are the banks going to wait for their money?" The chairman ana- wered the grower by saying, "Any- one running that close to the wind is in pretty bad ahape"...laughter. TURNIPS NOT INCLUDED Further questions dealt with, "does the Potato Marketing Board have anything to do with the mar- keting of turnips.” Mr. MacDonald gave a definite No to this question. But he went on to tell the growers that. he had been aware of 8. trem- endous upswing in the turnip mar- ket last spring but it was weeks before the producers saw any ciiange in the price here. He further stated "had it not been for the fact that I put myself out, to inform some of the growers of this upward trend in the market, it is doubtful whether any benefit from the increased price would have been realised." Mr. MacDonald once again re- viewed the activities of the Potato Marketing Board since it came into being. He explained the steps lead- ing up to the establishment of the selling agency and the reasons for control measures which were ex- ercised last year and which the Board intended to continue if given the power at the coming plebiscite. He explained the questions that would nppear on the ballot. He said that the very fact that there were two questions left some doubt in the mind of the voter as to what the exact issue was. Mr. MacDonald said. "Some peo- ple are in favor of the Board, but do not want to have, anything to do with the Selling Agency." He continued, ”lf you want a Board that will do the kind of a job that will justify its existence, not one with its wings clipped, or its hands tied. then you will vote yes for the, Selling Agency." He added, "if you don't want a Sell- ing Agency. then you don't want a Marketing Board, so vote no for the both of them." Present at the meeting was Mr. Roland MacDonald, president of the Federation of Agriculture. He stated that he found a. great deal nf mixed thinking regarding the Marketing Board. He wishe,d to make it clear that the Federation and the Board were too separate organizations. "We sometimes ti-,.'l them what we want done. and sometimes they do it and some- times they don't.” said the pre- sldent. Mr. MacDonald said that he wanted to clarify some of the rumors which were prevalen' about his getting a salary of 52,500 from the Marketing Board. "If anyone tells you that. you can tell him its a lie", he said. Mr MacDonald explained that last fall when Mr. Gordon from Flor- ida was having some trouble in getting the variety of potatoes dc- slred. he, Mr. MacDonald was called in to help straighten out the matter. He, was happy to re- port that thls had been swamp- lished and everyone was happy, "During the time that I worked at this job, I received sin a day which was nomore than the, long- shoremen were getting,” said Mr MacDonald. The hall at Eldon last night was about three quarters full and the crowd was very orderly. Most everyone, seemed content to listen rather than to be heard.

The outbreak occurred about 5.30 when Alfred Btubbert, an employee, was bringing an automobile en- gine in the building. He received second degree burns in hands. arms and shoulders as he fought the fire. His employer, Bernard Carter, came to his assistance and was less severely burned. The alarm brought Roy White from an adjoining grocery store and George Leaid from a clothing store in the centre of the town, each with fire extinguishers. They did valuable work in subduiiig the, outbreak and in the meantime the fire department also arrived and hose lines were laid quickly and EEPLACES LLOYD LONDON (AP) - Anthony Nut- ting, minister of state for foreign affairs, will replace Selwyn Lloyd as head of the British delegation to the United Nations, the foreign office announced Wednesday.
