Floral Emblem Change Made, 4th Kings MLA Tells House
A.W. Matheson (L—4th Kings) |
maintained in the Legislature yesterday that an act which pinned down the official floral emblem of the province as “Cypripedium Acaule"”’ is con- trary to the emblem named in the original act of 1947
He reviewed the history of the act and said that the suggest- ion for a floral emblem was made by the late Blythe Hurst who wrote a weekly column for The Guardian.
“The emblem ‘selected 18 years ago to honor Blythe
Harst,"' said Mr. Matheson, “was, Cypripedium Hirsutum and not the Moccasin Flower
which was made the official flo-
wer by a recent act of this Legislature.”
He added ‘if the House has ma dea mistake, let's correct it.”
Provincial Secretary J. David Stewart said the Cypripedium Acaule over the years has become the most common var- iety of Lady’s Slipper and he | did not think the choice of this species. took anything away from the choice of Mr. Hurst. He said “if the House will agree, due to the common acceptance of the flower as named in the fact, it would be well to leave the act the way it is.”
Premier Walter R. Shaw sug- |gested “it might be a mistake to have the provincial emblem based on an extinct flower.”

By DAVE BUTLER ST JOHN'S, Nfld CP)— Chairman Robert H. Winters, of the British Newfoundland Cor- |poration, told the Newfoundland
legislature Wednesday (further development of the Ohurchill Falls power project in Labrador would ‘‘require at least two {provinces to work together. for the. common good"
- He-did not specify which prov inces he was referring to, but it was believed he meant New- 'foundland and Quebec
Mr. Winters spoke following an address by Premier Small- wood who said meetings had been held earlier in the day be- tween Mr. Winters and the New- foundiand cabinet, and it had been emphasized that it was “the very strong desire of New- foundland that the Labrador power be developed by Brinco "’
The premier said Mr. Winters had ‘laid equal emphasis upon the company’s desire to develop the power.”
However, both speakers in the House seemed to indicate the proposed plan of transmitting the Labrador power from New- foundland to the United States |by way of submarine cable | across the Cabot Strait and the Maritimes might run into trou- | ble Winters said in an inter- view later a feasibility report jon submarine transmission of |Labrador power would be adopted only to the point of bringing power ftom Labrador

Mr. Winters, who spoke in the legislature with the permission of the House, said power would be available to Quebec if it was wanted there
POWER FOR OTHERS
Mr. Smallwood said Brinco was ‘‘bearing in mind and shar- ing Newfoundiands strong de sire that Labrador power be made available to sister prov
imces of Canada including Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario .
He said Brinco will ‘‘com- mence immediate investigation
of the most economic way to transmit Labrador power to those five provinces"
The British consulting firm of Preece, Cardew and Rider had earlier found transmission by submarine cable to be economi- cally feasible and the govern- ment had expressed favor in the route
There was no definite state- ment from either speaker that the project would get underway in the near future, but Premier Smallwood said “‘we can see no reason whatsoever why the de- velopment should not be car- ried out by Brineco and com-
