On Feb. 27, another meeting was held and the following sites were suggested :— a building belonging to the Irving Oil Co., and a warehouse owned by Brent Wood. After some discussion it was decided to interview contractors re the cost of a new building, and also the cost of repairing

the old Hall.

On April 10th, a letter was received from Mr. Fred Large, stating that the old Hall could be bought for $700.00. This offer was accepted, the purchase was made and the Building demolished.

After calling for tenders on the cost of a new building three esti- mates were received— one from M. F. Schurman Co., Summerside, one from Albert Sharpe, Ellerslie, and one from Mr. MacArthur, Fredericton, N .B. Decision was made to look further into Schurman’s plan, and negot- iate for a suitable price. After the decision to build a new Hall was made, the committee decided to negotiate with Mr. Sharpe, who quoted a price of $10,000.00 for building the hall. Later he sent a letter stating that he was unable to do the work at present, and they decided to interview Mr. Boyles, from Schurman’s for a brick building. He agreed and said that the work could be commenced in two weeks time. On Sept. 26th, a meet- ing was held with Mr. Boyles present, when details concerning doors, win— dows and other items were discussed. Early in the Fall of 1967 the Hall was built and finished at a cost of $14,264.00.

CLOVER FARM STORE :—

In 1960 Parker Canfield conceived the idea of having his Grocery Store made into a Clover Farm Store. He contacted DeBlois Bros., Char— lottetown, who have the Supply House for these stores, and the business

was contracted.

In June 1961, the store was purchased by his senior clerk, Hubert Harvey, and he has carried on the business ever since. In 1970 the busi- ness was incorporated, and is now known as “Hubert Harvey, Ltd.”.

This enterprising firm carries a full line of groceries, Hardware, Paint and some Dry Goods. With Hubert on the staff are:— Wayne Molyneaux, Donnie Molyneaux and Marion MacDonald, part-time clerk. They also operate an egg-grading Station, which was opened when Parker

Canfield owned the store.

WADDELL’S POULTRY PLANT:—

In September, 1949 Waddell’s Poultry opened for business, with three employees. In 1955 two more were engaged. At first from 800- 1000 birds per week were processed. The business continued to grow, and, at the present time the output amounts to 20,000 per year. This is put into a deep freeze ready for customers. Some people bring their poultry to the Plant they are killed and dressed, ready for their own use.

This Plant renders valuable service, not only to the community at large, but to other parts of the Island as well. These products are sold

mainly on Prince Edward Island.

CRAPAUD CURLING CLUB:—
