Now the Min- ister 0T Agriculture has minfused the issue by atincmncing thzit tlic tinvcriinlcilt is considering extending the milk subsidy program, hut 0n ii more limited scalc than at present. This confusion was hound to result from the wartime subsiilv program, which was never really understood by the vast majority of con- sumers. The price pnld over the counter, or to a driver, for a bottle of milk was taken for grant- ed and few bothered to remember that fluid milk sold in Canada during war a; less than before the war. ‘or that the‘ Government was paying betweeh three and four ccnts of the cost of producing every quart. In the same way few bother to remember that every time they buy a pound of butter the Government pays ten cents towards its cost. Part of the milk subsidies was in the form of l two-cent consumer subsidy, discontinued some months ago when _milk advanced by that amount. There remained a 55-ccnt subsidy paid direct to’ farmers to encourage production and this was to have been discontinued at the end of is "September.

Retail milk distributors fear that a three- ccnt increase October 1, coming on top of the two-cent increase a few months ago, might have disastrous effects on the milk consuming habits of many Canadians. No doubt the Government fears for its health and nutrition program, in which milk and dairy products play a large part.

Ulstermen All From the pen of Mr. S1. john Ervine, fam- ous Irish playwright and essayist, comes a new suggestion in favor of American-British friend- ship. The Ilnited States, he says, always should like England because men from Northern Ire- land—perhaps the most stubbornly patriotic part of the Enlpire—have taken so notable a role in America's development. This is no wild Irish paradox, he insists, but a sober fact vindicated by history. Fourteen of America's 32 Presidents have origins reaching back to Ulster. Bunker Hill is named after a hill outside Belfast. Ulster names are scattered over America and woven into her folklore. “The Declaration of Independence," he re- calls, "was drafted by an UIStQrmH-n.

THE GEORGETOWN FERRY Sin-May I be allowed space to briefly review the attitude of the Govt-rnmccit regardlng the ferry service ivhi-ch is supposed to be in operation between Lower Mon- tague and Georgetown. Although the Government apparently view this matter with an indifference worthy only of the presrcit 1d- ministration. yet it '11s a tiubnc service most vital to the interests of the people of the many com- mllnlllOS which lt servw. In 1942 Hon. Mr. MacIntyre, wliu was then Minister of Public Works, let it be known that the intontion of the Government was to discontinue the ferries both m, Newport and Lower Montague as soon as the roads from Pooh's Gflrlllzo to Georgetown and from Lflilflvhlrlg place to Cardigan were paved. _The faked reason offered at that time for this contemplated buck- wziril step was, that lt was the ex- pressed desire of the majority of the voters of the districts can. ccmed to have the ferries discon- tinued as soun_ as the roads were completed. This puppet of un- trnth, however. was very quickly returned to the tender nursinz: of Messrs. Muclntyrq and his offi- r-1als_when petltrons signed by Practically every voter (less than half u dozen did not sign) of the districts concerned were filed with the Department o-f Publlc Works. It appeared rit that time that the question had been settled for many ,\’0tll‘S l0 come, a5 very goon after the petitions were present- ed action was taken to make the necessary repairs to the Newport- Georgctcivn wharves.

Some eight weeks ago it was decided to seem the ferry boat to Plctou for its nnrlunl overhauling. which always includes the copper Painting of those parts submerged n water. Since her return a month or so ago it has been decided that since she looks so nice in her new paint job it would Indeed be sln-_ ful to run her in through the sand and muck of the Lower Montague dock and thus destroy the fine effort put forth by the craftsmen of Pictou. I-Ience she has been tied up elnce her return, isn't a1- though this fine lady of the sea has never shown any hroncho te‘l- dencles yet. It has been deemed wise to keep the full crew »1n the job, Apparently it never duivncd upon those wizards of tra “or- tati-on that the Lower Montague ferry possibly could have been nut to some practical use on the New- port run, during the absence of that boat for her annual check-tip. When the matter nf the units-willie ferry “'85 broilizhl to the atten- tion o1 the Minister of Public Works these very disheartening bits of information were receiv- ed" (a) “Mr. MacMillarl has been Instructed to endeavour to get :1 dredge to do some dredging on the Lower Mccitague side."

It took slightly over three months to do :1 job that should have been complied‘ In 30 days, The new car ferry for the Bar- derrTormentine run will likely be ready for service by the Fall of 1947. You can got ouds of two to one that the new Borden ferry will be in operation before the Georgetown ferry wlll he ln a position to serve the public. One would think that silent Willlnm and talkative George might arise from their tc-mbs and put.thelr feeble efforts together in an endeavour to have some real action in this matter which ls so vital to the farmers of those dis- tricts now that the shipping sen- son is almost with us. But appar- ently they have been willing and eager converts to the Lou Mac- Millan doctrine "Do away with the ferries." Don't let Mr. Hughes and Mr, Seville forget that some day they will return to this District. The five years they have been aivny will not cause our memories to fade nor will lt enhance the little which they have attempted in the public interest. Those ferries wi-ll remain. The clergy and the people of Sturgeon, Georgetown. St. Georges. Cardi- gan and other interested com- munities say ‘they will’. The ‘awn- ers of those districts who now through neglect and indifference of Messrs. Hughes and Snvllle must travel thousands of oxtrn miles i-n the marketing of their produce and in obtaining their "er- tllizer say ‘they will‘. And these representatives had also better say ‘they will’ or forever fade from associating with energetic and progressive citizens. I am. Sir. flit‘- INTERESTED VOTER. 1 THE WIIISPER.
