St. Steph- m, N. 13.. president-elect of the New Brunswick Association, ex tended an invitation of the M. A. D. A. to meet next year at St. An.- lrews, N. B. Thanks of the meeting were ex- pressed to Mr. Wilson by Mr. Gor- eon Elrnan, Sydney, N, S. The meeting also expressed thanks to Mr. Ingham W. Palmer. secretary-Treasurer of the P. L. island A. D. A., for his work in organizing this year's annual con- vention. supply Picture Cloudy ‘ At the afternoon meeting of the ,F'.AD.A., on the opening day Mr. General-Manager, told dealers that the supply pic- ture was cloudy and that there was no expectation of any sub- stantial increase in production for some time. The backlog of unfilled orders was probably the biggest of any in the retail field and the ‘dealer experienced no selling troub- but rather the reverse. ...-.,,v_<_s Mr. Moore did not expect any price reductions for some time to come and did not foresee that prices would go back to where they were. The only thing that could make them go back would be s JIGUCUOB in wages to former levels. And, he added, I don't think we want to see wages, salaries and i t Effproliis go back to those levels. 1f the Geneva trade agreements are ratified by the U. S. Congress and by our own Parliament. Mr. "Moore said, we will lose the em- bargo we had formerly on import- _ed used cars but he told the deai~ ers that they were working at pre- L. i sent and were hopeful of finding some way of continuing. that pro- tection which has been enjoyed since 1903.’ Another speaker at the after- noon session, Mr. Renne Perrauit.

I FOB The Musical Fcetlvel Annual Meeting (By a Corrlwndesat) Those who attended the annual meeting of the Prince Edward Is- land Musical Festival held early this week listened with intense in- terest to the reports of the 1h. ecutive officers and heads of com- mittees but of the hundreds ofcit- izene who attended the sessions, few, including the writer have any conception of the amount of work entailed to bring this educational and entertaining wcek to its very successful conclusion.» The President, Mr, Barry Bug. den expressed his "appreciation to the committees and heads of com- mittees individually for their ef- forts -on behalf of the Festival re- cently concluded. but I would like to tdke this opportunity of ex- tending my sincerest therike‘ to you all. The great strides ahead. both in number of entries, and quality or work done hy contest- ants, shows that your work has been appreciated, and that it is adding a great deal to the musical education of our Island Province." Mr. Bugden spoke particularly of the excellent work of the pegge- tary. Mrs. Edwin Cooke of Park- dale, saying that,it is workers of her calibre that will lead us around the rough spots in our Musical Festival work, Listening to the Secretary's n. port was a reminder that the old Buying is true - if you want s lob dime. so to a busy man. Prom the annual meeting, through to the next Festival, the number of de. tails to be attended to by the secretary is almost unbelieveable and during the Festival week must be on hand at every session to see that everything runs smoothly. The treasurer, Mrs. V.M. Hud. son reported on the finances of the Festival which showed that the Association is in a healthy condition financially. A11 other committees were heard frcm, and although they cannot be reported separately, it must be said that a great deal of credit for the suc- cess of the Festival was due to the untiring efforts qf these commit. tee members. innumerable allege, such as lack of sufficient music, or music arriving late, or wrong mu- sic were overcome one by one, by their dnsged persistence, with the result that when the actual time oi the Festival arrived, everything was in order and working as smoothly as possible. The Prince Edward Island Mue- ical Festival has grown, since its inception s. few years ago, in leaps and bfliind-B. and each year the in- terest by the musi loving public has increased with Lines by Sir Walford Davies, quoted by the Secretary at the conclusion of her report, describe in a few words the aims and objects of our Prince Edward Island Musical yrestival Association. "In Music Festivals, the object is not to gain a prize, or defeat a rival, but to pace one another on the road to excellence."

(To Be Continued) HEW MONEY (Continued from page 1) rency revision is unique in Eur- ope's post-war money reforms. It is b. "delayed action" measure which leaves 45,000,000 Germans in a. perplexed state for s week until they learn the value of the new money. There are strong in- dications thet 10 old marks will be exchanged for one new mark worth about 30 cents. During the week Western Ger- many will have money to burn. In fact-the three Military Govern- ments told the Germans it would help if they did go out and burn a. lot of the old Hitler regime money. . _ The reform is calculated to re- duoe the‘ money in circulation, and crealte a. sound currency to pave the way for healthy German par- ticipation in the European Recov- ery Program. Rumors that the revision was coming caused Germans to rush the stores in a spending spree lo- day. They cleaned out stores. formed lines at theatres and bought anything they could to get rid of their old marks. businesses closed and refused tran- sactions in the old marks.

Reeves. Addreae On Paateurisetion The following address on the subject of pasteurization was given by Mr. C. M. Cox: "We always have had and, I presume, always will have persons who are opposed to pasteurized milk. We even find them among medical doctors who, if they took the time to study prevention rath- er than cure. I believe miflhii change their minds and most of them have. "There is no need to go across the Atlantic Ocean to find a. doc- tor opposed, to pasteurization. WC have had them in Charlottetown. But the doctors who have been most active in the cause of public health are one hundred percent in favor of pasteurization. “The main arguments against pasteuriz tion are: n "1. We have a. disease free, area. All cows are tested and proven free from disease. I doubt the ac- curacy ‘of that statement, as there has not been a. general test of cat- tle since 1925 and many genera- tions of cows have taken the place of those that were declared disease free at that time. No doubt the odd herd has been tested and is probably tested at regular intervals but. according to Dr. Bishop's re- port for 1947, only about 735 blood samples had been tested in that year for Doug's Disease or con- tagious abortion. No mention is made regarding the T.B. test. Even though all the cows supplying milk to the city were tested at regular intervals and declared disease free, that is no guarantee of safe milk for our citizens. It has been proven that there is more disease spread from after contamination cf milk than from diseased cows. "2. Another favourite argument against pasteurization is that our milk is all produced within a short distance from the city and can be put on the street within a short time after milking. That might be true if the, cows are only milked once a day or delivery made twice a day. But, as most cows are milk- ed twice a day and some three times and delivery to consumers is only once a day. some of the milk would be twelve or fifteen hours old between milking and delivery. It so happens that time is not the main factor in the case. 1f we were to bring the cows to town and milk them at the door of the consumer, we still could not guarantee safe milk because as soon as milk is “Need to the atmosphere, it is no purer than the atmosphere. The person milking the cow or coming in contact with the milk, is throw- ilis off germs from his body which lily or may not be hanrrtful and the milk is absoibing those germs ll a sponge absorbs water. He might have e common cold, a. sep- tic throat or be a. typhoid carrier and so spread disease among oust- orners. The only creature privileged to obtain ssfe milk from a healthy cow is the calf, by taking it the way nature-intended (no chance of after contamination). The hu- man child does not have that ad- vantage but must take a. chance on the many factors that are pos- sible due to after contamination. Rigid Inspection "Certified milk is produced un. d" “it Met rigid inspection. Dv- erythlng must be tested and pass- ed by a Medical Health Commie- lion-cows, attendants, utensils and premises-and even after all these precautions it cannot be sold as safe milk unless pasteurized and the coat is excessive. In fact, epi- demics have been traced to certi- fied milk. The case of J. P. Mor- gen, for instance. who set up his own certified farm and succeeded in giving thirty of his friends ty- phoid due to a carrier. "Some uninformed and prejudic- ed people will argue against past- euriaaiioas of milk but in the final liiliysie there can be no ent against such a health protecting operation. It is the h-ieapeetheaith insurance you can give your fam- l0 y. "There is no eddence to support priced to ‘sell.

These outbreaks attribuiedl to consumption of unpasteurized milk accounted for 702 deaths from tvpiwid. para typhoid and septic sore throat. u “In the same period there wag-g numerous lesser outbreaks of the seam diseases and of undulslt fever also milk-borne. These minu- epidemics also accounted for num- erous deaths. For instance, there were officially reported 1,124 cue; of undulant fever, an extremely diflicult disease to diagnose, in the years 1940 to i945. 23 deaths were attributed to this disease in that period. "An interesting angle to this milk-borne epide ’ picture is the fact that since Ontario adopted the compulsory pasteurization of milk there has not been one seri- ous ‘cutbreak of milk-borne disease in that province. Ontario is the only province with sluh a law.
