Chur-chili LE1? Passes Away in lOlst Year

Mrs. Isabel Macailllvrsy, one of Prince Edward Island's centenar. ians. passed away yesterday at her home in Churchill where she had lived all her life. The late Mrs. Maccvillivray whose husband, the late Duncan MacGillivray, prede- ceased her 13 years ago, was quite active for a woman of her years and on December 18th she receiv- ed the compliments of her many friends on the occasion of her 100th birthday.

Born Isabel Macxinnon, she be- longed to a family of long livers. A brother John MacKinnon of Churchill is over 90 and in good health; an aunt died some years at the age of 103.

clock she started but was forced back and it was decided to remain in port there until the trains bringing passengers for the Island should arrive.

No planes of the Maritime Cen- tral Airways made flights yester- day as all were grounded and a company spokesman stated they would probably stay down today as well.

Main highways leading to the city provided heavy going for motorists brave enough. or foolish enough. to attempt to get through Most people living on the out- skirts of the city remained at home or walked to work in the teeth of the storm. There was no school for pupils of Grades 1. 2 and 3 in city schools and the schools in the so-called "fringe area" did not hold classes for any grades. In their instances children frequently have to travel long distances to reach the school in the district.

All along the roads and streets cars were left to the mercy of the storm as the drivers found the going far too tough with frequent sheets of glib ice under the soft snow. Many motorists left their cars in other people's driveways, and in some instances even on lawns. while ditches were I favor- ite spot for many others.

Traffic At Minimum

In the city the severity of the storm was felt mainly through the driving wind which whipped the fast falling snow into the faces of luckless pedestrians. Alt.hought.raf- flc was much lighter than normal for a Thursday, what there was still moved. especially in the busi- ness centre where apparently there was not so much snow as else- where. Taxis continued to oper- ate. The plows endeavoured to keep nearby streets as open to traffic as possible and it is plan- ned that as soon as the stomi abates to have one plow do the North-South streets while the other tackles the East-Wat onee. - As a result of the storm much of the business life here ceased as few people cared to be abroad Many organizations had to cancel proposed meetings. among" them the annual meetings of the Char- lottetown Branch of the Canadian Legion and the catholic Welfare Bureau. Others cancelled included the "capping" ceremony of stu- dent nureee at the Prince Edward Island Hospital. and the Spring Park Bums Concert. Besides these many social events. both public and private. had to be poeboned.

THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN

In J uve-nile

OTTAWA. (OP)-Juvenile deliri- quenoy appears to have declined by half in the 10 years following the peak year of 1942.

A bureau of statistics analysis of delinquency issued Thursday shows that the 5,418 boys and 650 girls declared delinquent by the courts in 1852 is 49.4 per cent lower than 10 years previously. About one of every three had been in court before.

The number found delinquent- : drop from moi of 614 for boys but higher by 38 girls -was the lowest reported in the 31 years the bureau has kept records.

The courts dealt formally with 1,218 charges compared with 7,521 the previous year. In addition, at least 6,704 cases were dealt with infomially by judges and proba- tion officers.

Newfoundland and the four west- ern provinces reported increases in the number of children brought to court. The other provinces report- ed decreases. The number declared delinquent followed a similar pat.- tern except that New Brunswick reported an increase over 19513

By provinces the number brought to court and the number found delinquent respectively, in 1962 with liI5l figures in brackets were:

Newfoundland, 223 and 215 U94 and 175); Prince Edward Island, 29 and 39 (55 and 52); Nova Sco- tln, 425 and 356 (554 and -483), New Brunswick. 274 and 261 (275 and wit: Quebec, 965 and 628 (1.348 and l.lil0); Ontario, 3,370 and 2,880 (3.441 and 3.0241; Man- itoba. 454 and 409 (404 and 347), Saskatchewan B4 and 81 ill and 64); Alberta, 868 and 317 t285 and 2421; British Columbia. 1,021 and 87'! (B93 and 8151.

The bureau found that more than '1'! per cent of the delinquent children came from homes where both parents lived, 19 per cent came from homes broken by sepa- ration or divorce of the parents or death of one or both parents In 3.5 per cent of the cases. the marital status of the parents was not known.

The ages of 13 to 15 were the crucial years. Eighty-nve per cent of the girls found delinquent and almost '10 per cent of the boys were in that age group.

Australia. U. S.

Oppose Calling U. N. Meeting

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.. (C?) -Australia and the United states have announced opposition to India's proposal for reconvcning "W UN 85-Wmbiy next month to discuss the Korean question.

Their replies. and expected neg- ative answers from other European and Commonwealth nations. indi- cated Thursday probable rejection of the Indian suggestion to recall the assembly Feb. 9.

There was growing talk. how. ever, of a session in April in the event the Allied-Communist talks in Panmunjom still show no pro- gress toward urranglng a Korean peace conference.

At mid-day Thursday the telly stood 10 for the Indian proposal and eight opposed. It was evident the Indians had given up hope of attaining the necenu, majority of 81 UN members by the dead- line tonight.

lloans from banks rather than by direct government lending.

I The provision for insurance of mortgages was meant to safe- guard the banking svstem. But it did not protect banks alone, as some members had said. By pro- tecting the banking system it pro- teeted borrowers. nearly every one of whom had bank deposits.

Ensure Money

The insurance provision also uould ensure a continued flow of mortgage money for hou.se-bui!d- ing, but it was intended chiefly as a means to maintain public con- fidence in the banking system.

There was little fear that home buyers would lose their equity in their homes if mortgages went into default. All such cases must go to the courts and judges ir. the past had done "all in their

power" to protect the owners share in a. house after mortgage foreclosure.

Thct provision that lenders re- port to the government housing agency when mortgage payments were in default was a "prudent provision when the govern-men:'sa money was insuring the loan.

Mr. Winters referred to the speech by George Hees (PC-To- ronto Broadvlew) in which he said the cheapest house available un- dcr the National Housing Act was 520,000 and that huyers w.7u'd need an annual income of 53.864) to purchase such a home.

The minister said that 2'5 per cent of the NHA loans in 1953 were on houses costing less than s1o.0oo. As an example, an 58,630 house could be bought by a man with a 2,600 income,

Up To Lender

The Income levels were based on the provision that no more than 23 per cent of a buyer's income should go toward carrying charges on a mortgage. A buyer could devote a larger part of his income to his mortgage. but it was up to the lender whether to agree to such an arrangement.

As for lower down payments, they were "not an unmixed blem- ing" since they resulted in larger mortgage repayments. But may allorwed people to get a "footihold" on buying their own homes.

some members had criticized powers given the government's Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation as "bureaucratic". CMI-IC merely implemented the wishes of Parliament and govern- ment regulations gave it no further powers.

In the last few veais OMHC ha:i inspected all NHA loans and would continue to do so, provid- ing uniform inspections and civ- ing a service which banks were unable to give.

He said lancilords who rent homes are permitted to deduct

municipal taxes and carrying charges on mortgages from their income for liicomc tax purposes. The same privilege should ha granted to those buying their our homes.

Municipal property MIXES WW9 "just like a mortgage" in that ii" home owner must pay or lose his home. But is was "the most evil form of double taxation we have to charge income tax on income paid for municipal taxes.

Long-Term Loans ' Harold Winch (CCF-Vancouver East) said the government ghould extend to mdlvidual nome bulld- crs its plan of long-term loans for low-rental deveiopmeiits. At ill”?-5' cm. the plan was limited to dev- elopments operated by non-DWI” organizations.

A, H. Hollingiworth (L - York Centre) urged more action by "the provinces under the present fer!- islation for low-rental housing in uilloh federal. provincial and mum- i lcipal governments on - operate. iThat was the answer to the proli- lem of low-cost housing for those mt)-1 low incomes who could not aford to buy homes.

Mrs. Ellen Fairclougih (PC - Hamilton West) said a famllyia total earnings should .be con- sidered as the minimum income required to obtain it loan under the act's rr-gtilatloxis. Often, two or more persons in a family con- tributed towards paying the rent and the same principle should be accepted for loans.
