This is fixed at per pound and is on a two year basis instead of é now applying for just a year, although it is subject to review at the end of the Orst year, > in making the floor © applicable for two years is hoped, jd Mr. Gardiner, to give the produc- evs the basis for long range production programs. In other words they can plan their programs now with pretty much of a certainty that there will be at least 58¢e a pound return on butter over a two year peiod. The announcement has prought digappointment to the vast majority ef the dairy industry and to dairy famers particularly. From the infor- mation I have on file it appears to me that the dairy producers feel that 58c will not adequately cover their cost of production.

Except in special cases it is not ar- ; Sued that they should be set so high as to provice an -acentive for others to get into the industry and produce, but it is argued that they should be jset at such a level as to enable the efficient producer to continue operat- ing and receiving a reasonable return for his work. and investment at the floor price level. The reason fer this |is that floor prices do govern to a large exient the overall price for the Product, so that if the floor price is t too low not only will many farm- ers forsee a price below the cost of production in the future and thus turn away from dairying on grounds of | Speculation or forecast, but the=dis- tributors. will tend to set the actual | Price of butter as close to the floor price as they can get it and thus in j actual fact the selling price of butter ,to the farmer will tend to be kept down as near as possible to the floor. There is some evidence that this was the case over the last year and last winter particularly, and that the | result has been to considerably de- |erease the butter production in Can- |ada. At the same time costs of farm production along with all other costs j have been going up; then this winter George Hebden Corsan, the wel the former Lillian Armstrong, a The newlyweds are spending their near Miami, where the bridegroom damia nuts and tribute their youthful appearance rf fenit juice and spending lots of nd early spring when the: butter had been purchased by the government at the floor price was rev | leased for resale on the basis of that j floor price, this price tended to set [the price for the current butter pro- | duction which, however, was being | produced at greatly increased prices. Farmers therefore finding that their cost of production was not covered by the current selling price of butter, further cut back their production thus further accentuating the shortage at a time when new production would have been normally coming in. Hence the sudden and rapid rise in butter prices to levels at over 80c. which This then brought in the new pro- duction so that there was, not very long afterwards, a further sharp de- cline in butter prices. The net result, it is argued, of this type of tioo low a poor price on butter is greatly accen- tuate the pesks of top prices and the valleys of low prices, thus befogging both the distributor and the consumer as well as discouraging the farmer. On this basis it is argued that it is better to set a floor price a few censs above the minimum rather than a few cents below it in order to iron out these peaks and valley. Hence the dis- appointment with the present floor price of 58¢ per pound. It is only 18 miles across the Eng- lish Channel from Dover, England to Calais, France. €sso) iMPER new ship.... new cargo... “NUT FARMER TAKES A WIFE — AT 93, Islington, Ont., offers his bride a toast of coconut juice pourea from a freshly opened coconut after their marriage in Miami, Fla The bride is grows bananas as well. Provincial taxes each year for the next five years for the project will be $5,500,000, Mr. Straith stated, and after the plant is fully estatlished they will 60-.

Mr. Straith described the project as the greatest development ever to be HeW progress When the “Imperial Leduc” steamed into Sarnia the other day she made important news for all Canadians, The ship herself was news—the world’s largest lake tanker on her maiden voyage. Even greater news was her cargo—the first shipment of Alberta oil into the Ontario market. This new market for western crude will increase Canada’s oil production by almost a half. It means a further saving in foreign exchange; 40 million dollars available if needed for other purposes. It gives the Prairies a bigger market in the east and, consequently, the east a bigger market in the Prairies. Above all, it makes Canada surer of oil supplies in peace or war. Arrival of the “Imperial Leduc” at Sarnia began a new chapter in the story of Canada’s economic development —a nation more prosperous and more secure.

Final plans for the | rroject were completed only last week | Mr. Straith explained that Britisn Columbia has all the basic require- ments needed to’ support the plant.

The townsite of Kitimat is expected to develop into a city of 50,000 people five or six years from now, Mr. Straith asserted, Townsites nearby will have another 10,000. Five thousand will be engaged in construction of the plant and 10,000 will be employed in the industry when it gets organized. An other 10,000 will be employed in the surrounding communities. A total of $160,000,000 will be spent in getting the development started. In the next $550,000,000 will be spent five years District Engineer's Father Dies At Coast Funeral services were conducted this afternoon in Haney for Sidney A.
