outlay he demands more than just a meal. In the United States almost a quarter of a century of effort by the wine industry has made a jarge segment of the country wine conscious. Consum- ption has more than trebled -dur- ing the last twenty years and continues to rise year by year.
Partly as a result of this pro- gram, American tourists in in- creasing numbers look for wine with their meals when dining out. They find it at home, they know it is available all through Europe and in many areas in Canada. Its absence in the Mari- times is a serious deterrent te a return visit.
Mr. Tomasso commended the efforts of restaurateurs who were actively seeking. relaxation of
liquor licensing laws in the Mari- times. He said their efforts, if successful, will merit the ap- preciation of all who will benefit by increased tourism.

CCF Fights Lone Battle Against Energy Board
OTTAWA (CP)—The CCF Wed- nesday fought a lone battle in the Commons against the govern- ment’s proposed National Energy Board.
Meantime, while supporting the general principle of the energy board bill, J. W. Pickersgill (L— Bonavista-Twillingate) suggested the real reason the government is seeking cabinet power over oil exports afd imports is so that it can do something “in the secret of the closet’’ that it wouldn't dare bring before Parliament.
The CCF was swamped 176 to 8 in a vote on its motion that the subject\ mater of the bill be re- ferred to a Commons committee for study. The Liberals joined with the Progressive Conserva- tives in the vote.
Frank Howard ‘CCF—Skeena) | immediately moved another mo-| tion, that consideration of the bill be postponed for six months. This also would kill the legislation this) session. CCF speakers then took} up most of the time remaining to the end of the day's siting,| leaving the bill at the second) reading—approval in principle— stage.
RENEWS OBJECTIONS
Mr. Pickersgill renewed Lib- eral objections to a provision in) the bill that would empower the! cabinet te limit oil imports in| future.
“It's just absurd,” he said, to argue as the government has that such power is necessary in case, an emergency arises. |
“We don’t give the govern- ment the power to declare war,” he said: Parliament had to be called for that: obviously no oil emergency could arise so quickly that Parliament could not be, called to deal with it.

profit by pipeline promoters or other groups.
It was also creating a false im- pression, he suggested, for the prime minister to say as he had Tuesday that existing as export applications will be processed im- mediately the board is created.
Thar processing was bound .to. take some time. It was not a simple process.
It also appeared to be a “pretty rash statement” by Mr. Diefenbaker when he said the bill gives assurance that Cana- dian xas consumers will pay no| more than those in the United States for the Canadian product. There were a lot of factors to) be considered in seting export prices.
Finally, he criticized the bill’s provision leaving the cabinet in) control, if necessary, of all 4il! imports. Parliament should ndt} be ignored in such an important) matter.

Car Crashes Kill 6 Men
HAMPTON FALLS, N.H. (AP) Six men were killed early Wed- nesday in two separate auto crashes less than four miles apart on New Hampshire’s two seacoast highways.
Two of the victims — one in
each crash — lived om the same street in Portsmouth.
Police said four marines sta- tioned at Portsmouth Naval Base were killed when their car smashed into a bridge abutment
on the New Hampshire Turnpike
at Hampton Falls. Less than two hours earlier,
two Portsmouth men met death when their car left U.S. Route 1, which parallels the turnpike, and
plowed into two trees.
