It is not our intention to discuss that point at this time. We shall say, however, if it was to be a Canadian, no worthier appointment could have been made than the oru? that is announced in the person of Rt. Hon. Vincent Massey whose long career in the public service as diplomat, administrator and educator has given him a background of experience and personality endowing him admirably for the post he now takes. And, if it is honor that is con.-idered, certainly Mr. Massey is richly deserving. There is no one to loubt that he will fill the new office with the dignity $nd seasoned learning that is expected to accompany it. '. And, while Mr. Massey has had his political leanings, it has long since been proven that he thinks and acts far above that plane. The objection that the appointment of a Canadian throws the position into he field of politics can be certainly dismissed in this ase. If as worthy appointments are. made in the future, the lustre of the position will not have been tarnished. ; With Mr. Massey about to take over, Canadians everywhere will acknowledge the fine manner in which the vieeroyship has been filled during the last term by Viscount Alexander. The famous soldier, whose only visit to Prince Rupert during his tenure was an unofficial call one summer afternoon, won more than admiration and esteem but affection as well because of the friendliness, interest and ?nmentionsness which he displayed in all his acts during his goings and comings. It is gratifying to Snow that, instead of now fading out of the picture Sifter holding the position of Governor General, which is usually regarded as the crowning event of a career, he is booked for even greater and more active things. He and his wife and family, who Share fully in the regard that His Excellency won in Canada, will leave this country with the sincere He.st wishes of all Canadians for the future.

Farmers Problems MONTREAL, The farmer wants tne price of hu "wheat related more .closed to his.pro-, diction costs. He wants stron-r price props for his butter and cheese and he would like to see the federal government take a hand in promoting a national livev.oclt p"licy. These and .scores of other requests and suggestions, in tiie form of proposed resolution. .,ere r5id"ed by, ihe.-Cana- idian Federation of Agriculture at ,he federation's u-o-day an- i lu,aic.on!!'lUon here Tne ' of about 400.000 farmers. ; The resolutions, flowing in ! from ea-stern and western re- yional conferences and from the federation's affiliated organizations, provided the backoone of the convention's business :3 the 200-odd delegates met to hammer out a new CFA policy. ' All resolutions adopted by the convention will have to be approved by the 27-member board of directors before they become 1 CFA policy. The convention met in a relatively brighter economic atmcs-; phere than at any t:me since j the end or the Second World ; War. H. H Hannam', CFA president, In his presidential address, and CFA economist E. C. Hope ' forecast price and agricultural trends in the next two years. Prime Minister St. Laurent i addressed the federation and Agriculture Minister Gardiner .spoke the following day. Here are some of the programs ; proposed: - PROPOSALS j 1. A request that the federal ; government seek an extension! i of the four-year international wheat agreement, with prices: linked to actual production i costs. The multi-country pact has another crop year to run. 2. Stronger federal floor j prices for butter, cheese and eggs. Dairy farmers want the' floor on butter raised to 63 cents! J pound wholesale from 58 cents; and on che-ese to 30 cents from 28, on eggs from 38 cents to 48 cents.' However, In the case of butter, the government has virtually ensured a temporary 63-cent floor by obtaining approval to pay that price on 10,000.000 pounds of domestic production. 3o far, it has received only several hundred thousand pounds. 3. A national livestock policy to build up depleted cattle'and , dairy herds with federal aid. j 4. Elimination of the tariff i on driers so that western wheat I producers may purchase more of . Uic.sc from the United States at lower prices in drying a large part of the western grain crop, i dampened by late autumn rain and early snow. BE SURE YOU ARE IN Next To Royal Hotel per year.

Where would we go when we wanted a gathering place for assemblies large and small, what would our organizations do for their meeting places, where would we play at our sports, where would we go for the myriad other activities which centre and radiate from that establishment? The Civic Centre is, indeed, worthy of our support and active interest of every citizen for every citizen uses it.
