"The reason that the fire took such a complete and rapid hold on ilie whole house was shown to be the fact that the walls and ceiling of the house were lined with a praised-paper wailboard." the jury sa .

NORTH BAY (CF)-Health offi- cials said Thursday a collie saved five children from being bitten by a i'ox believed infected with rabies

The incident occurred near Mat- tawa. 40 miles east of North Bay. when the fox chased the children of Armitage Blake on their way home from school.

It has not been decided whether the children. ranging in age from six to 12. will need treatment to Laegent possible infection. doctors

VATICAN CITY (Reuters)-Twu Italian cripples were wheeled into the main entrance hall of the Vati- can Palace Thursday night to give Pope Pius Xi presents. on the eve of his 80th birthday. on behalf of "all who suffer in this world."

The presents were a giant bou- quet of 80 red roses and a host - "symbol of suffering”-which the Pope will use when he celebrates mass today. The two cripples came from the Italian branch of the world-wide Catholic "Centres of Volunteers of Suffering" which house 30.000 sick. most of them incurably ill.

For the coming year. revenue was r timated at 343il.322.000 and expenditure at 3437.55-1.000.

Mr. Porter said the current year's figures-based on 10 months actual and two months estimated -would be S428.991.000 for revenue and S-i28.242.000 for expenditure.

Profits from government sale of liquor led the revenue upsurge with 848,000,000 compared to on es timate of S3il,000,000. The tax agreement with the Dominion gov ernment yielded S2.245.000 more than expected.

The tax agreement is expected to be the biggest single revenue source in the coming fiscal year. with an estimate of sl5i.700.000.

Education took the biggest spending bite from ordinary ac count in the coming year with a total of s10B,460.000. up 38.000000 from the present year.

Universities got 07.2-10,000 for capital outlay in the special grants of 519,300,000 from the current year's acounts. an increase of 31,600,000 over similar grants a year ago.

ing to the Draft Address in the Leglslaturo yesterday. Mr. Douglas spoke only for a short time before adjournment.

He said that the Province had a Marketing-Board which was funct. toning all right and did not see why it had to be changed.

R.R Bell: "You don't like a Gov- ernment appointed Board?"

Mr. Douglas: "One objection I have is that the manager is a membe of a firm that for years opposed a marketing board in the courts and in every way."

The speaker said that he did not believe it was right for the manag- er to be a person who was connect- ed with any particular dealer be- cause he couid easily obtain in- formation which would give him an advantage over other dealers.

"The potato business in this Province is important enough to payaman who laid d tot any private organization” he said. "1 have nothing against the present manager. personally, but I think that he should be independent".

Mr. Douglas said that these were the feelings of the people in his District and added. "I am right with them".

HEALTH INSURANCE

Mr.bQouglas said that a great many people had spoken to him about the Health Insurance pro- gram. Some thought that the Gov- ernment would impose a health tax to carry out the program. He felt that the Federal Government should pay the larger portion of the cost. One reason given for this was the fact that many of the young people. when they reach the age of 17, leave the Province and earn their living in the Upper Can- adian Provinces, where they pay high taxes to the Federal treas- ury.

Mr. Douglas recalled that in the Legislature last year a resolution

Ice Patrol Is Begun Over Gulf

The first aerial ice patrol of the season was carried out yesterday by Captain Angus Brown, who is starting his eighth year of ice surveying. Approximately one thousand miles were covered dur- which the Navy icebreaker I-l.M. C.S. Labrador. which is presently on a research cruise of the Gulf. was sighted in the vicinity of Anticosti Island.

Capt. Brown reported that the ice in Gulf of St. Lawrence appear- ed to be very light. while in the Northumberland Strait from Cape George to Point Prim it is quite heavy. From point Prim west the strait is filled with a large amount of drift ice and some sheet ice. In the gulf a number of stretches of open water were lighted
