The occasion was the open- ing of their new school. Two years ago the district had the misfortune to lose its school building by fire. Today it has one of the best schools in Eastern Kings from the standpoint of both building and equipment. Despite the busy season a large. number of people from New Zea- land and the surrounding oom- munities, including Souris, were present. The opening ceremony was in charge 0f Mr. Peter Conway. re- tired teacher. who had given many years of teaching service to the district. After an opening chorus. "The Island Hymn", by the older pupils, the Director of Education. Mr. L. W. Shaw. spoke commend- IHS the Trustees, the Building Committee and the people gener- ally on their splendid effort in Pfflvldlng such an admirable school. He reminded those prq. ent that the costs involved. while heavy. were really a sound invest- ment in the youth of the com- munity. He expressed the hope that surrounding communities might follow the good example set by New Zealand. Rev. Father Sinnott of Rollo Bay. Mr. H. J Hfmes. Supervisor of schools and others also spoke congratulating the people on having accomplish- ed so much in providing for the education of their children. Dis- tricts in Eastern Kings gonbgm- Plating new schools or new furn- lture would do well to pay a visit to New Zealand. After the formal opening hm been completed with the singing of "O Canada" and the "National Anthem”. a splendid supper was served by the ladies in s. cool airy booth on the school grounds. Re- freshments and entertainment were also provided throughout the afternoon and evening. TRUMAN (Continued from Page 1) others who had worked themselves into positions of importance." A Bed Herring? Meanwhile President Truman described the spy flurry on Capitol Hill as a “red herring" intended to veil Congressional inaction on his antLinflaticn program.

Another resolution approved the 'I‘.L.C. executive's previous support for the striking Canadian Sea- man's Union and their attempts to get" a settlement. The T.L.C officials met sepa- rately after the original meshing called by Mr. Bengough was in- vaded by representatives of some Canadian Congress of Labor un- ions and by a large number of rank and file members of_the C.

Fertilizer of some kind is neces- sary to the growth of all plant life and the abundant grovrth of hay on fields freshly subjected to a treatment of mussel mud is re- garded as proof that the mud contaim valuable fertilizer ingred- ients. It is impossible to believe otherwise. Mr. Stewart said, when one stops to realize how much valuable rich top soil is washed ofi many Prince Edward Island farms during the spring thaws and freshets and carried into the rivers, creeks, and bays along the coast. Mr.‘ Stewart said it would be found that the majority of those opposed to the mussel-mud treat- ment wcre farmers who had not applied the mud judiciously. A heavy spreading of coarse lime- stone would be just as injurious as s heavy cost of mussel mud. Both had to be put on the fields in reasonable quantities and work- ed well into the soil. In the event of a. grant being received in time for the coming winter's operations. it was pos- sible that the Government would come to the financial assistance of any farmer groups wishing to build mud diggers. No dertlnite plans have yet been made and none probably will be made until the grant. becomes a certainty. 4 P. E. I. (Continued from Page 1) s Saturday. Newfoundland’: delegates, Hon.

Asked by The Guardian if he expected to come to Ottawa as a member of the Parliament of Canada in 0.549. Mr. Bradley con- ceded it was possible. "Would you aim for the House of Commons or the Senate?" The Guardian asked. "The House of Commons, of course." he rejoined instantly. "That is. of course, i.i a. New- foundland constituency chooses to elect me." May Get Fisheries Portfolio Mr. Bradley has been Already mentioned as Canada's next Min- ister of Fisheries, or failing that, Parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Fisheries. ll. is known that the present Minister, R. W. Mayhew, would prefer to go to the Senate after the next Federal election, a move which would make yet another vacancy in this portfolio which has been handed around to half a dozen incum- bents within the past few years. J. Watson ' MacNaught. Liberal member for Prince and parliam- entary sasistant to the present Minister. has been mentioned as the next Minister, as has also w. Bradley. Both have legal and Parliam- entary experience and would flt in either with the Fisheries Min- istry or with such departments as Secretary of State or Solicitor- General. P. E. l. Caucus At- a caucus of the Prince Ed- ward Island delegation this after- noon. it. was decided to present no specific resolutions permitting to the Province to the main resolu- tions committee which is headed by Senator Norman Lambert. and has a memberahipof 110 of which eight are from the Island. The resolutions committee met at 5:30 o'clock and reconvened at eight to discuss the many resolut- ions submitted from all parts of Canada. Such as are accepted will be incorporated in the new plat- form of the Liberal Party and others will be discarded. Mem- bers were chosen at the P. E‘. I. caucus also for other committees of the convention which include credentials. organisation,’ scrutin- eers and tellers. By working tonight the reso- lutions committee hope to sift out the resolutions in such a way that they will be able to give the con- vention something solid to get its teeth into tomorrow in the way of party platform. 2 Bent Increase In Differential 0n Dream Grades In an effort to have milk and cream producers pay more atten- tion to the quality of their pro- ducts, the differential between the various grades of cream has been increased two cents, Mr. H. J. MacDonald. dairy stated yesterday. Last year, the difference ‘oe- tween special and No. 1 grades of cieam was two cents, and the dif- ference between No. 1 and No. 2 grades was three cents. This year the difference between special and No. l grades will be tlircc cents and between No. 1 and Nu 2. four cents. The new rates are being pazu under authority of the DairymeTs Association Act passed at the last session of the Legislature. Mr. MacDonald said many cream producers had become lax not oniv in their grading methods but. in the care of their milk and cream so that his Department had rec- ently found it. necessary to san- bark on an intensive campaign for the purpose of incuicating a ile- sire on the part of the producers to furnish a better product. Careless methods. such as ai- lowting milk and cream to stand at the farm gate all night, lac" of adequate protection for the niiik and cream from dust during ‘the long haul to the butter or cheese factories, and a disregard of sani- tary precautions ai. time of milk- ing. resulted in a lowering of the high quality of both Island but. iei and cheese. Mr. MacDonald said that all butter and cheese factories in the Province are being visited o; himself or his assistant. Mr. E. W. Adams, with the object of eii- ion of both milk and cream.

This gen- erous contribution served to en- gender still further confidence and l-ic-pe in the special Names Com- mittee that the objective would be reached. General Chairman T. Roy Cud- more, while expressing keen pleas- iire and gratificaton at the pro- gress of the drive to date, stated however, that the most difficult part of the campaign was yet ahead. Yesterday Mr. Cudmore and directors of the YMCA. received a letter from Mr. DJ. Bonnell, Vancouver, in which tribute was paid to the businessmen and gen- eral public of Charlottetown for the generous -way in which they responded to any public appeal. Mr. Bonnell expressed his be- lief that nowhere in the Domin- ion were the people more public spirited than in Prince Edward Island and that when the csm- paign was concluded "you will re- jcice wth me in that it will be well over the top". Sees Big Tourist Prospects In P.E.l. "The tourist potential of tire Island is terrific". in the opinion of Mr. Horace Sutton, who has been touring the Province while gathering material for his for-ti.- coming traveller's guide book on Canada. Mr. Sutton. who is ’I‘ra- vel Editor for the Saturday Ro- view of Literature. is being ac- companied on the Maritime part of his trip by Mr. P‘. R. Sayer. regional public relations repre- sentative for the Canadian m.- tional. Railways. Mr. Sayer met Mr. Sutton at Yarmoutlt last week and since (hen they have toured Nova Sco- t.a and this Province. They crus- sed at Wood Islands, and yester- day afternoon journeyed about 80 niiles including a visit to Green Uahlcs and to the National Park. Last year Mr. Sutton visited France and has since then writ- tcn a guide book on post-via: travel in that. country.

Smiling and beaming to rounds of heavy applause, he noted the dates of this convention-Aug. 5. 6 and 7—coincide with those of the 1919 convention at which he was chosen leader and explained that it did not come about by "deliber- ate pre-armngemcnt." It merely was a matter of accommodation. He made no reference to the leadership, but he is expected to deal with this tomorrow afternoon when he delivers his major address to the convention. He likely will review developments in the party under his stewardship. Girl Guide News ‘I Grand news from Southportl?

Mrs. T. V. Grant: tellers: Mr. S. Gaudet. Mr. S. Ross. Mr. raosjrws _ The feattue of the poultry mar- ket during the past week was tbs eleven cent advance in the price of Grade A eggs, reports Mr. FEM. Nash, senior poultry products in. specter. Ilhe advance in a sense was not man made but due to the old law of supply and demand. Supplies were short. therefore. the demand for the product increased with resultant highgr prices. Dim- lnlsiiing supplies at this season of the year is clue partially to pul- lets of young stock coming into lay at an early date last year. therefore, completing their pro- duction year somewhat earlier than in the past. Again feed which makes up about half the cost of Producing eggs has been high in price which has discouraged the poultrymen from feeding liberally to assure high egg production. The egg feed ratio or the pounds of feed a dozen of eggs would buv varies from time to time. Up until the last few increases in egg prices. a dozen of eggs would buy a few pounds of feed or in other words the margin of profit on poultry operations was narrow. but with the increase in the price of eggs, the feed egg ratio widened profits and were greater. There is evid. once already of a greater interest in poultry operation by farmers. More feed is beinc- purchased. greater care is being given to flock management all because egg prices bear a closer relationshipto feed prices.
