ISLAND CASE IS CITED

OTTAWA (CP)—The Commons Opposition lost its patience Thursday night with Northern Af-, fairs Minister Alvin Hamilton. . A switch in the previously-an- nounced order of business put | Mr. Hamilton up for his third try at getting estimates of his de- partment approved. Asked to explain the switch by Leader Pearson, Trade Minister Churchill, acting government House leader, said it was because Mr. Hamilton is ex- pected in Victoria, B. C., today to join the Queen.

' AM went swimmingly for a

time. Mr. Hamilton, in subdued tones following some uproarious moments during his last appear- ance on Satu — spoke of the roads to resources gram.

But he evidently didn’t say the right. words. When he finished, Mr. Pearson said the Opposition has been “‘very patient with the minister because of his inexper- ience in parliamentary affairs.”

TIME FOR EXPLANATION

But the time had come for him to explain his Saturday statement that he could not give the House information about federal finan- cial commitments for resources roads in Ontario until he checked Mildly, Mr, Pearson asked for an explanation.

A good question, said Mr. Ham- flton. If federal - provincial nego- tiations over roads to resources

The possibility of two Canadian records being broken at Sum- merside Saturday afternoon was

seen last night by track and field Mficials here:

Yesterday ‘it was learned that Joe Mullins of Cape Breton -is coming for the meet and is ex- pected ‘to smash the Canadian native half mile record of 1.51.7. Joe’is a student at the Univer- sity of Nebraska and up to three weeks ago had the fastest half mile in the U.S.A. to his credit with a sizzling 1.49 flat.

were carried on in public, the pressures from various commu aities for such roads would be such as to make it very difficult te reach any settlement.

Douglas Fisher (CCF—Port Ar- thur) said that was “‘a nice piow explanation.” but it didn’t cover the fact Premier Frost and hie friends were spilling the beans on the resources roads ali over the province during the June Ontatie election canipaign. Yet Members of Parliament were denied this information. :

J. W. Pickersgiil (L — Bona- vista - Twillingate) said “we shouldn't be voting this money — blind for. provincial premiers to go around exploiting for political purposes."

Mr. Pickersgill asked how much money had been spent im Prince Edward Island. Mr. Ham- ilton said that province had $2,500,000 of its own money—the — federal government will reim- burse it with half of that amount under the 50-50 cost-sharing pro- gram—and the roads were com- plete. 5

Mr. Pickersgill asked whether details could be given since the roads were a reality. Mr. Ham- ilton said no, because the agree- ment wasn’t. signed)

“This is absolutely ter- ous,”” exploded Mr. Prokersgill. Here the roads were built and all residents of Prince Edward Is land knew about them but the Commons couldn't be told.
