"The manner in which Can- adians have accepted the MORRIS cars proves that a large section of the public now looks -upon individual transportation

- in a practical way. Every year. more and more people are ask- ing themselves: ”How much am .I getting for my tranmoriation dollar?

-. "This trend of thinking was a challenge to the designers oi the Morris cars. Their answer was a new design. offering real eco. nomy along with big car fea-

tures. This may sound simple enough but it took years of re- search to perfect every detail to the point where we can say the new Morris 4-door sedan shown here is the roomiest small car on the road today."

Mr. Kickloy Dointed out that the makers of the new Mor- rls 4-door sedan have i - sled along with the economy 811810. mace. comfort, safety and performance. In spite of use low price tag on the cars, no sacrifice has been made in de- sign or finish.

'4 Highway Competition. . Railways' Big Problem

OTTAWA, April 17 - ((2) - Ipgnaid Gordon, Canadian Nation- all Railways president. said highway competition is the rail- ways' big problem but he does not think they should try to meet it by stifling the opposition.

Instead. he told the Commons railways and shipping committee. "ii. is up to the railways to improve their service and try to work out tome arrangement with highway

totierators, that will enable each

carrier to do its Job.

"In the committees annual exam- ination of the C. N. R.'s affairs, Mr. Gordon said the railways have been -' many millions of dollars to their road competitors. They were Clireatened with being put out of vbrdeiness 1:: some sections of the -country.

- elf railway service was to survive In these sections. the C.N.R. would neither have to go into the highway holiness or work out some sort of Ico-operation with highway trans- .port operators.

In an all-day qution-and-am filter session that ranged through many phases of, railway matters, Mr. Gordon also said:

1. me boxcar situation is im- proving rapidly as Canadian-own- ed-cars returning from the United states cut down the Canadian shortage. 1

2. The C. N.R. does not yet know how bit! a freight-rate increase will be asked to meet the coat of the new 40-hour week going into effect June 1.

3. The company's potential rev- l'lluCl from a five-per-cent rate in- rrease application, heard by the Board of uansport Commissioners in January, and on which no de- cision has yet been given, would be about 31,100,000 a month.

4. If the company gets authority to impose penalty charges on ship- pers and conaignees to increase utilization of freight cars, it will "it loses that these are imposed as equitably as possible.

5. The general reil strike of last August cost the C.N.E. 03,300,000 in lost business.

0. The O. N. R. does not propose '0 80 into the pipeline business. It in-ls there would be no special ed-

y vantages in its operating a pipeline

get into that traffic. it would be better to have it handled by a sep- arate government company.

'1. There is no immediate pros- pect of cutting the C. N.R.'s run- ning time on transcontinental trains.

8. The two-per-cent jump in the sales tax-under Finance Minister Abbott's new budget will cost the Canadian National between s2.000,- ooo and 111500.000.

Show Sharp

UITAWA. April 11 - (G) - Canadais martial ship of state is sailing smooth seas nowadays - in fact has been for the last three years.

The Bureau of statistics today issued the annual divorce report for 1950. It shows fewer ivorces in all provinces except Nova scotia compared with 1949 and a continuation of the decline in the number and rate of cases which began in 1948.

in the three years the all-Cam adlan rate has dropped from 65.3 to 37.7 divorces per 100.000 popu- lation.

The 1950 figure was 5.206 div- orces. down from 5.934 in the pre- ceding year, 6.81 in 1948 and the 194'! peak figure of 5.199.

But, as the bureau pointed out. the 1950 total still had a long way to drop to reach the level of the years before the war.

In 1940 there were only 2.360 divorces. excluding Newfoundland which then had no divorce facilit- ies. Newfoundland. joining Confed- erallon in 1949, still has no divorce court and like Quebec now sends

cases to par” for decision.

Newfoundland had five cases in its first divorce year as a new province.

British Columbia had the high- est rate of divorce per 100,000 population with a figure of 121.0 against 133.6 in 1949. Alberta fol- lowed with 59.7 compared with N.- 2; Ontario 45.7 against 54.3: Manl- toba 38.9 against 52.8; New Bruns- wick 3'1.2 against 39.1; Nova Scotia 80.2 against 38.1; Saskat- chewan 320 against 36.6; Prince Edward Island 13.5 against 21.3 and Quebec 5.9 against 9.0.
