The meeting was for the pirrpose of considering the butter educa- tional scoring conducted through- out the summer months, and of discussing the question of grading of print creamery butter and the marking of wrappers according to grade. The proceedings were con- ducted by Mr. Brenton -' ‘ * by Messrs. F. T. Morrow, Dairy Pro- duce Grader, and W. J. Davies.- Inspector of Dairy Products. who‘ did the scoring during the sum- mer. Samples from the different creameries were checked and the session was a most interesting one- ‘The creamery men were un- animous in requesting the cany- lng on oi the educational scoring as done during the east season. and also in not asking at the present time for the adoption of compulsory grading of print but- r.

Woodrow, ac- countant of the Ffed Page Higgins Co., of Toronto, disclosed its affairs. The A. and P. was incorporated in 1819 but did not begin operations until 192'! when the Montreal divis- ion was opened. The company was financed from loans advanced by its parent com- pany whose headquarters ware in Jersey City, N.J., their total amount was $2,004,456.

The total net profits cf thc To- ronto dlvision since commencement were $427,100, but the Montreal sec- tion had been operated at a loss which had now accumulated to $928.- 407. The total deficit of the com- pany since date of incorporation un- til Feb. 24, i934, was $519,445. No dividends, have as yet been paid said witness. Advanced Loans From 1m until'1984 the parent company in New Jersey had advan- ced lcans to the Canadian company amounting approximately to $17,- 000,000. Last year the company's stores sold goods valued at $10,665,- 001. Of these groceries accounted for 65.08 percent and meats 34.07 percent. The total net sales for the past six Montreal division accounted about 83 percent. l Operating expenses for‘ the six years of the company's existence amounted to 319,550,531. wages to- talled 4.2.49 percent of operating ex- penses in 1929 and 38.04 percent lr 1934. There had been no reduction in rates of wages, said witness, bu! the annual amount had decreased. Profits amounting to $427,100 made by the Toronto division had been more than offset during the company's years of operation by $928307 of a loss in the Montreal division. The directors and officers of the A. and P. Company are all residents of the United States and receive no salary from the Canadian organisa- tion. No dividends have been paid since the company has incorporated which ‘led Hon. H. H. Stevens to call it "a philanthropic organization." i The A. and P. Company, the aud- "itor said, made it a practice to ad- vertise special prices for selected ar- ticles each week. It was estimated _ this reduced gross profits by 2% per- cent but from company records it ,was impossible to give details oi the sales. Officials of the company said they never sold below cost. Advertising Bill The A. and P. Company spent $120,755 in advertising last year, the auditor said. A "considerable por- tion" of this was recouped by con- tributions from manufacturers or for rs. The wages of stiore managers of the A. and P. ranged from $20 to 051M in the Termite divl-iilm. said Mr. Woodrow. The average wage during a recent week was $25.08 plus ti cent or one percent of sales for grocery managers. A total oi 278 regular male clerks Wfliialdfromfltofllandavsr- aged $12.10 in the grocery dagrt- years were $99,318,830 of WhlCh the ‘ settlement of the ublesome problem of the mines no longer ,ossible, Laval revealed that l French experts at Rome are seek- ‘ihg, through‘ th pie-plebiscite agreement. ~ The solidly-backed francs in the Saar would be used both to pay for French mining holdings, as stipulated in the Treaty of Ver- sallles, and to wipe out private debts owed to Frenchmen, the Foreign Minister explained. In this way, it was pointed out, seizure of francs to fill any other of Germany's pressing needs for foreign exchange would be averted and the provisions of the treaty would be fulfilled. Francs are backed more than 100 percent by gold. while gold coverage of the mark is slight. Laval. in telling the committee that France would demand strict adherence to the stipulations of the Versailles Treaty, said “France must act within the League of Nations." Previously he had advocated face-to-face talks with Reichs- fuehrer Adolf Hitler to untangle the many knotty problems con- nected with the Saars possible re- version to Germany but today he said “the hour for direct conver- sations with France is past." merit and $15.03 in the meat depart- ment, witness said. From $1 to $15 a wcck was paid to 348 temporary part-time male clerks, while 15 female clerks (tern- poraay) were paid from $1 to 59 ahd averaged $4.20. Wages of 115 regular delivery boys were from $0 to $10 and averaged $6.39 a week. Other wages were cor- respondingly small. Hours of cm- ployment averaged 61-3.’. for males and qom 50 to 55 hours for females. Other particulars of wages showed the company paying warehouse em- ployee an average of $26.30 for a 50% hour week. Factory ernployes work- ed a 48-hour week, male delicatessen employes 50% hours and female delicatessen employes 50 hours. All were paid extra for overtime. Average Salary The average salary paid by the A. and P. to store superintendents was $81.20 for a 39 hour week. Male office employee received from $12 to $58.50, or an average of $31 for a 39-hour week. The average of 54 female office cmployes was $1’! for a week of the same hours. In thc Montreal division the aver- age hours of work were 8d hours a week. A total of 18 grocery manag- ers averaged in Montreal $22.38 a week and 00 $20.04. Fifty meet managers were paid $26.8’! on an average. In each case one percent of the sales constituted a commis- sion in addition to salary. The wages of 240 grocery and meat clerks ranged from $9.26 to $12.88 ior their 8d hours week, while 154 deliv- ery boys were paid $3.61 for the same length of time. Evidence showed 1'1 delivery boys working as much as '1'! hours a week and 80W"! O2 remuneration. “In the Montreal division all the delivery boys received $6 or lasa- wlth the majority of them receiving |lcss," said Chairman W. W. Kennedy. "is that right?" l buy and eat 8,000 apples, '15 per cent of which are Island grown. The apples are certainly choice stock and should furnish some de- licious munching. It will be "the thing" on Satur- m day to strut along the street with ones mouth full of apple and it will also be considered good style to have ones coat pockets, hand bag. etc, bulging out with apples. Apple day is apple day and the people are to be apple minded, apple mouthed, apple pocketed, apple handbagged, applied every- lng. Apples! apples! apples! And whatadayitlsgoingwbeiw the doctors! Ii one apple can keep an M. D. away then 8,000 will probably give even the nurses and hospital staff a day off. Anyway 8,000 luscious Macintosh Reds are to go on sale Saturday. And every penny earned is to stay on the Island h hsip the Boy Scouts carry on their good work. Boy Scouts never bog, that is publicly. vifhat they do at home under stress is another question. They need money for their work and the way they get that money is by getting out and earning it. They are not asking for charity or a handout in any form on Sat- urday. What they do want and earnestly hope is that every per- son will BUY an apple from them and if they like apples that they will buy a lot, paying separately for each, as no change ls given. 8.000 apples! It will take a bit of fine co-operation to dispose oi that number. But then the Scouts are strong on co-operatlon. They co-operate with all people and or- ganizations needing them at any time, Boy Scouts aim to help to serve, to be of wide and general assistance. In other words they are ever willing and desirous of cooperating. On Saturday they ask, and they ask with a charac- teristic smile, that the big folks this time co-operate with them, by BUYING an apple on Saturday. They say an apple but as a mat- ter of fact they will let you have two, two dozen or two hundred if vou want them. In fact if any one wants a barrel of ‘Flnv Scout apples they will be available and avail- able ln oulck time, but at not less than 5c per. _ On Saturday buy a Scout Mae- Intosh Red apple. - Seventy-one delivery boys got less than $6 a week, working from 45 to '17 hours, 45 got $4 for a dd hour week; 30 delivery boys got be tween $4.50 and $5.00. ; Oi 400 full-time store employees of the A. 5r P. n Montreal division 304 got $10 a week or less with 4’! getting $10 and 251 being paid less than that, Witness had no information as 1A the licurs worked on the wages paid by the company in i‘; United States stores.
