Third decision to come out of to- dlYs session was the adoption of an optional marriage ceremony, ommltting in all places the bride's promise to "obey." This change. one of several church prayer-book alterwtions contained in the re- port of the ocmmittee on revision of the book, may be used by clergy- men subject to their further con- sideration of it. This considerat- ion, however. does not delay its use.

The revised marriage rite-not mandatory-may remain in use un- til the next synod in three years time. The report also contained revisions in other Church cere- monies. all of which are effective for the same period snd under the same conditions.

The Calgary resolution m re- marrisge, introduced by Rev. WJH. H. Crump of Calgary. read:

,“That this Synod asks the Gen- eral Synod to revise its canon on marriage and divorce by legisiating .to permit the innocent party to a divorce to re-marry and to have the benefit of all one services and sacraments of the Church and in this case immediately to se-t up Church courts to decide which-if either-is the innocent party.‘

Considered n. use

A General Synod last considered the recnarrisge question at Winni- peg in 1946. At that time, the en- tire issue was deferred. No vote was taken in the Upper House due to procedural rules.

Rev. Cnsmp said the desire for such an amend t started from a belief that there were marry Angli- can clergyman "who want a change in t-he canon on marriage and div- orce." The Church now should be “more lenient" with persons who could be classified as the "innocent parties" to a divorce snd who wish- ed to re-marry.

Rev. K.C. Bolton of Montreal vigorously opposed the resolution. "I would like to see this killed in its infancy."

“People do not merely exchange vows." he declared, "they make vows to God about each other."

Immediately before the motion was put to a vote, Very Rev. C. C. Robinson of Tirnmins. Ont., said. "I have been told that we sre con- cerned with principles rat-her than legalities."

"I would like to renid the lynod of one of the great principles --forgiveness." Any other principle embodied an "unchrlstian attitude."

QUEBEC, Sept. 12 -(OP)—A coroner's jury today blamed the deaths‘ of 23 persons in last Fri. dill’? crash of s Canadian Pacific Airlines plane on a mysterious ex- plosion in a forward luggage mm. partment.

The six-men Jury umeuraced its verdict after listening to a. dozen witnesses. They included men who saw or heard a midillght explosion aboard the DC-3. and an aero- nautical engineer who said exanrjn. ation of wreckage at Bault an Cochon pointed to s blast that; shattered the airliner! fuselage aimldships.

Disappearance of Henri Poul Bouchard. 23rd person aboard who has not been positively accounted for. was said to be explained by evidence he was the passenger rid- ing nearest the location of the ex- plosion.

Coroner Paul V. Maarceau said the inquest had accomplished its purpose of establishing whether "gross negligence" had been in- volved in the crash. He said none was indicated.

Paul Miquclon, K.C., represent» in: the Attorney-Generals Depart- ment. said that investigation being carried out by the Canadian trans- port Department would probably probe deeper into the causes of the wreck than a formal coroner's in- quest.

Mr. dvilquelon told the audience he wished to make it clear that the fact that Bouchardb body might have been broken beyond recognit- ion by the explosion did not mean the contents of Bouchardls lug- gage were responsible for the ex- plosion.

The aero» engineer who was one of the chief witnesses was Melville Francis, employed by C.P.A. at Vancouver. who said examination of the plane wreckage eliminated as the cause of the wreck “almost all sources" associated with the functioning of the plane or its equipment.

Patrick Simard. 85-year-old eel fisherman, field of witnessing the explosion which he said sent a. burst of white smoke from the left side 0f the DC-S before it crashed s. few seconds later near Sault au Cochon, 4.1 miles from Quebec.

Blmard said the weather was clear and he estimated the plane's altitude at 500 feet when the blast occurred. He said the plane bulked sharply to the left after the blast. straightened out briefly and then plunged against tho mountain-side.

He said “debris of all kinds" dropped from the plane before it hit the ground and at one moment he thought he saw a human lea fallirg out.

A metal box which fell from the plane and landed near Victor Duglos, who was more than a mile from where the DC-3 finally crashed. was identified by Francis as s. piece of equipment from the right-hand luggage compartment.

elared the show "another grand success“ and 5W1" °t ‘he "steadx progress during the P“! 35 Ye!"- He attributed this success to the "united effort and co-operatlon of all conccrned.'_'

Although there were no import- ed entertainment acts. a 350 lb- sow which broke sway from her pen as the crowds were coming out of the building from the open- ing ceremony, caviscd a flutter of excitement before she was safely stowed away. A booth containing s "tree that grew like s man" was well, patronized by those interest- ed in either srboriculture or anth- ropology, as the case may be.

Housing IAIilll-flm!

OOntents of the speech have been s. closely-guarded secret. There have been few hints of the con- tents from either official or unof- flcial sources. There has been some speculation the speech will forecast new housing legislation.

But most of the speculation has mentioned only a revival of meas- ures introduced but not passed at the last session. prorogued April 30 to permit tho holding of s general election.

Among measures duo for revival is one providing for Federal con- tributions to completion of s Trans-Canada. Highway. It ls be- lieved that the Federal Government will contribute as much as $230,000,- 000 toward the highway. The amount would, it is said. represent about 50 per cent of the cost of completing the highway.

Possibly one of the first items to be CB-AIEQ after the traditional de- bate on the Throne Speech will be the budget presented last March 22. The budget and the estimates of expenditures for the coming year were never passed, but are due for reintroduction.
