T= ™ Ss “THE OMINECA HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1934 nae | Railway Trustee LY an! f Chairman Has Message for men Hon, C. PP. Fullerton, K. C., ehair- amu of the trustees of the Canadian National Railways, has issued-a state , ment to the publie, but particularly ta ihe employees of the raikvay. A part a! that statement is- give below: — Tt must be kept in mind that throu- shout Canada there are people who ‘aver aunlgamation of all railways in the Dominion or, felling that, manage . ment under a single administration, a sud it would be a mistake on the part of those who disagree with them to , uuerestimate their importance, or to f rely too much on the mere existence of the Act of Parliament. Many of the arguments are forceful and appeal ing. and even if, when eminating from interested jarties, they ave not char- acterized by noticeable modesty, they are not to be lightky dismissed. There is this to be said, that unless the position of all railways in Canada taterially improves within the next few years many experiments, presently unpalatuble and presently nneccept- sble unmlecceptable, may have to be trie. It is for this renson I appeal tu every employee of the Canadian Na- tional Railways to devote the very best that is in him to the suecess of the railway. The Trustees enn do their jnirt to ensure that no political inter- ference, no foolish or insane policies, amd no extravagance will interfere in the wmanagement of the railway, but the renl success of the railway depends upon the efforts put forth by the men who are in charge of the netual enter- prise. T am sure that every man on the Canadian National Railways will make the success of the enterprise his tirst consideration and nothing ‘should “he eountenaneed “which will-embarrass: the management or impair the effici- eucy of the system. The publie-.look not only to the Trustees, but to every. employee, to co-operate in .a -gigantic tusk, but one which can be accomplish- et, This co-operation is offered by wud will always be forthcoming from the Trustees, who are appreciative of the position of. the Inen and are syin- pathic with thoir* difficulties. As oa fingleword Iet me emphasize that in the management of the railway the Trustees are not interested in race religion or polities, but solely in the morit and ability of the men. Every Iman may expect from the Trustees a fuiv deal. Mevit, net faver, is the watchword, FARM PRODUCTS AND FACTORIES Farm production in Canada forms the basis of miuny of Canada’s great ninufacturing and proeessing indus tries to itn extent that is. not generally sppreciated, In 1931 (the last year “for which complete statistics are avail uble) (208 estiblishinents were en waged in miunufactaring produets of farm origin, Of this number, only 327 firms were working with foreign iigrieultiral products, principably rub ber, sugar and caffee, HELP FOR PROVINCES TO BUILD In the House of Commons this week Hon. W. Gordon, minister of labor, in replying to questions, stated that the Dominion government would con sider loans to the provinces and to munlelpatities for buliding purposes, although any loans to municipalities would have fo he handled through the provinces, ‘The government's bullding programy is not yet ready.- In view of the fact that Premier Bennett is to eet the provincial premiera again at the end of April there will probably be no announcement of the Dominton program uni] after that mecting.

Prior to 1900 comparatipely little attention was paid to the number of eggs a bird produced and what business there was in’ the following few years was mainly in the hands of nea en or exhibition poultry: :r breeders. owerer, sthe “sec- atid decide frou “sein. to: 19495 saw the |-. development of production-bred poul- try -on a business basis. During the third decade, 1920-29 poultry as an in- dustry developed into — considerable proportions. Not onty did commercial ponltry plants increase in number and size throughout the several provinces lut what is more significant, farmers in Canada come to appreciate the re- vere producing’ possibilities of poul- try flocks. During this period the Government of Canada became active- ly engaged in’ poultry improvement, nnd as a result of these activities are the several policies of the Department of Agriculture which are most impor- flocks. ‘THE EASTER EXAMINATIONS The result of the Easter examina- Hons In Division 1, New Hazelton school, are as follows — Grade &—Fred Sait, Lawrence Wil- lan, Peter Smith, Stanley Wilhu, Bric Johnson.

When we have come to final agreement with Ottawa we will then know better just what is required to be done, We believe it is desirable to get people on the land and away from congested areas, not holding out the hope to them of becoming rich, but providing them with - a - comfortable subsintence,.. _ “We will send prospectors into the hills: we will carry ont forest conser vation measures which, in recent years has been neglected. We will look for ways aml means to stimulate our coal industry. We will prospect on oil structures. We will fight to maintain present and look for new markets for our primary products. Our timber. f; minerals, fish and agricultural must find an outside market.: Moreover we propose to use our. natural resources to the limit of our finaheial capabitity io put all our people to work.
