‘The proposed change, Premier Campbell said. originated in an agi- tation in Halifax to have ‘he T.C. A. terminal placed there instead cf at Moncton. After negotiations back and forth, they carried their point. This mecnt the reorlzonizntbn of the whale Maritime region be-

riving about 38 per cent. cf the: revenue from the Halifax-Moncln run, and could not afford to carry on the balance of Maritime feeder service on such terms. Consequent- ly 1.11s Canadian Airways decided to wilhdraw 11112911011101".

It was thereupon decided i0 make Charlnttetzwn a port of call for the T.C.A.

"In a way." said Premier Camn-_ bcl1_"ifiis would put us on {r11 ‘n line, with whatever advant- ages such n service WTlJld provxin 0n ihe other hand it would have disadvontagagcs ivhich to my mnd would be cf more consequence. ‘Iticre would be two trips per dbl’.

"PClljflYE worse than that, _Sum- moi-side would be out of the picture altogether. There would be no T.C. A, service there at all.

“Anmher objection was that there would be no small planes based in the Mnritlmes to ‘be available ipr emergency services such as the Canadian Airways have frequently provided.

“On the whole, it did not. ltppeitl‘ o me to be a. very advantageous change, and I immediately pro- tested, particularly on the grounds of the loss of our conncciicn ivllh the Ocean Limited each ivay, and ihc loss of 1,116 Summerside service.
