"'j' I Attention of potato growers and shippers in this Province is drawn to a new law now in effect in the State of Massachusetts: "Massachusetts potato growers were today advised that the new Massachusetts Potato. Branding Law requires that every container oi potatoes which is packed, sold, distributed, offered or exposed for sale or distribution in the Com- monwealth must be Pllinly Ind conspicuously marked by I. HI. brand, label or Itencil bearing the name and address of the packer and the proper grade of potatoes within the container." In calling this to the attention of growers. Walter E. Piper, Chief Market Investigator oi the Mass- achusetts Department of Agri- culture. reminded them that this law was enacted by the millil- ture at the request of the grow- ers ami other members oi the potato industry. Its purpose is to improve the quality of potatoes offered for sale on Massachusetts markets and to build up the re- putation for Massachueetll-.I'0Wl1 potatoes. In order to be sure that the law is complied with, growers are advised to make certain that all containers are properly marked when they leave the farm. and that second-hand bill which bear any statement not in con- formity with the potatoes in the bag should be reversed before bee lng used. The law provides a fine oi not more than II0.00 for the first oi- fense and not more than 0300.00 for each subsequent oifenle. News from Massachusetts Da- artmeut of Asrlcullllfei Jilly 31. I52.

Moore, who has been visiting Charlotte- town and other leading Maritime Cent-1'8-S during the past weei: on behalf of the Ontario Government Extension lleldman. in fruits and vegetables for the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture at the Hor- ticultural Experiment Station, Vineland. Qnt., Mr. Moore has spent the past two days in this city visiting wholesalers and re- tailers. The purpose of his visit to the Mlaritimes was to check the condition or peaches being shipped here and to develop a "better quaiity trend" with wholesaler, re- tailer and consumer. "As long as the consumer insists on choosing his goods according to price rather than quality, neither the wholesaler or retailer can do much about it"..Mr. Moore stated. "They have to bring in I product that will cater to buyer emand, and can't afford to import a high quality fruit or vegetable that won't sell. Most fruits," he said ”are shipped green, but the On- tario Department of Agriculture is striving for the shipping of more mature fruits that "will give the consumer better quality for his money." Their experiments to Macbean oi the Clark Fruit C0,, City, Mr. Moore visited the Ex- perimental Farm. Malcolm Graves' fruit farm and many local retail- crs. Apart from his official business he also visited his two sisters, Mira. W. W. Irlam and Mrs. T. L. Fitz- Geraiii, City.' He left for saint John.

It is with deep regret that we must announce that can- making operations at Factory 24-A, Charlottetown, will be permanently discontinued in the near future. The closing dmvn will be a gradual process; can manufacturing oper- ations will probably be completed by October 31 this year, and the plant will close entirely on or about the first of ' December. The reason we are discontinuing operations in the Maritime Provinces is simply this: We do not now have, and do not see a practical prospect of obtaining, a suffi- clento volume of business tomake it economically sound to invest the amount of money which would be required to build, equip and operate a. new factory in this area. And . ' the present factory has been operated at a substantial fin- ancial loss every one of the last seven years. At tile time our Company purchased Chmlottetown Factory in 1945, we announced that this action was the first step in a long-range program to provide com late and modern container-making facilities in and for the rltimo Provinces. The next step in our long-tango plan was that we were going to build a new factory in the Marl- time Provinces wherever it would provide the best, most economical and most dependable service to.the area's growers and packers. As you know from what we said at that time, our original plan was to discontinue can-making operations at Charlottetown when the new factory came into operation. ' However, some of the customers accounting for a. part of Charlottctown's production are now purchasing their re- quirements eisewliere. This, together with the fact that the new container markets which had been anticipated failed to develop, at first delayed and finally made economically unsound our rospectivo plan for building a. new factory In this area. Th was not in any way due to any failure of the Company or any of its people to properly serve our customcrs. Ordinarily, the amount of production volume lost here at Charlottetown would not seriously affect oper- ations. No company expects always to keep all of its cus- tomers; free nations have free competitive markets-, with customers free to buy goods and services any way they choose among available opportunities. .... ..., ., ';gJ .. . Our Company of course makes every possible effort to serve every customer in such it way as to hold his business. And if a customer does switch to a. different supplier, there is usually an opportunity for the sales force to find new business to take the place of that which changes hands: and it is usually possible to adjust our equipment to any different type of container the market may demand and thus keep our people at their jobs. But at Charlottetown the situation is different. As you all know, the equipment hero cannot be adapted for the manufacture of other types of containers than those now produced: and there is no other market economically avail- able fo Charlottetown to absorb full-scale production of the , containers that can be made here. In addition, thorough, surveys have determined that it would not be practical either to build a ncw plant or to re-cquip this one. Therefore, our reluctant decision has been that there is no practical alternative to closing down. As you know, we have kept this plant operating for I long time at C0l'lSld0l'abIC financial loss so that we could keep as many people as possible on the job while deter- mining our course of action and while working out a. plan under which we mm help all of you to the full extent pos- sible in making the personal adjustments with winch you will be confronted. Because Ci':l(.'l1 of you is in a different: situation in the other from the standpoint of age, length of service and the -kind of arrangements that would be most satisfactory from your own personal point of view, the Company's manage- ment representatives will sit down with each of you in- dividually for a personal interview. Each of you who is not eligible for retirement will re- ceive a cheque from the Company representing a special termination allowance. These cheques will range from I. minimum of two weeks' pay to it maximum of twenty weeks' pay. They will be based on the pay received by web employee at the time of his termination. We know first all of you will want some time to look around to get yourselves adjusted to your best personal advantage. These benefits should give you that o portun- ity, but in addition to that, we want to make clear hat any of you who wish to resign your job here between now and the time the plant is closed down are at liberty to do so. and you will be entitled to the some benefits that you would receive if you were to remain with us until the plant closes down. No one will be penalized for accepting other xmploymcnt before or after the. closing date. In this way a hope to make it possible for you to adjust your per- sonal arrangements without undue sacrifice. With best wishes and every hope for the success and happiness of all of you, and again expressing the deep re- gret of the Company's management that this move has be- e come necessary, I remain ' Sincerely yours. y W..C.
