Mutted Big Opportunity
By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDO' (CPIe1iarold Macniil
Ian remains three nigma of Bri-
tish politics. His budget speech April 17, eagerly awaited by students of
political personalities, has defer- red the key questions far Into the future. Generally. the”: is a feel- ing he may have muffed a big chance.
Shocked By Request For Athletic Aid
MONTREAL (CPI Federal Health Minister Martin said Tucs-
day he was shocked by a recent-
requcst to have the federal gov- ernment put up 325300.000 to pro- vide better athletic facilities in Canada. Mr. Martin did not dis- close the name of the organiza- tion that made the request. but he said it was one devoted to phys- ical fitness and sport. He was ad- dressing delegates attending a discussion on the value of recre- ational programs.
If the time has come when Canadians must depend upon the government to provide sports fac- ilities then "our whole fabric is tottering." said Mr. Martin.
He said the connection between adequate recreational programs and facilities and mental health is very close. particularly in this age of increased leisure. but the gov- ernment does not have primary re- sponsibility in the recreation field.

when the 62-yearold cllancellori of the exchcquer got up to deliver. his maiden budget speech. a scnscl of expectancy gripped the Housel of Commons. This urban man with the hooded eyes. large mous- tache and slightly tired exprcs. sion. as he confidently opened his two-hour speech, knew that his. reputation was in the balance. L
Was Macmillan finally going tul make his mark? Were 30 years, of experience as a career politician about to have their i'ewzird'.' GREAT EXPECTATIONS
The budget seems to hate dis. appointed those trliose c).pc(-ta. tions were highest.
