OTTAWA (CF)-Trade Minister Howe said Thursday it is "just

impossible" to give I Commons committee free rein to decide what officials in Canada's atomic energy program it wants to question.

He added that the flow of atomic information from other countries to the crown-owned Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. would be sharply reduced ”no later than tomorrow" if the committee were given power to order production of papers in the hands of AECL.

Montague Meeting Last Night

A special meeting of the Mon- tague Town Council with the com- missioners of the villages of Mur- ray River. Murray Harbour and Cardigan. was held at the Town Hall at Montague last night for the purpose of discussing Iflre pro- tection in each of the several lo- calities. The Georgetown Town Council was unable to attend the meeting.

It was stated by Mayor Yeo of Montague that in view of the pro- hibiting by-law, and because of the town insurance. I1 W55 7103 D05- sible for the Montague pumpe to leave the town. However. he con- tinued. the council would be ready to assist the other localities in every way possible which would be at their disposal.

Mr. George Ferguson of Murray River stated that the villages re- qulred fire equipment immediate- ly. but that the villages were not in a 'inancial position to acquire such equipment. He pi posed that the Provincial Government loan each village a sum of money im- medlately sufficient to provide the locality with adequate equipment for fire protection, and that the

Discussed At

government be reimbursed through the per-capita grant. This idea met with the general approval of the meeting.

Mr. Doug Coffin. Montague fire chief. proposed that the Govern- ment establish self-contained fire fighting units in certain places to serve a whole area. For example, he said. a 1.000 to 1.500 gallon tank unit. with truck. pumper and hose, could be located at Monta- gue to serve Murray Harbour. Mur- ray River, Cardigan. Georgetown. built-up areas. and farmers tin ugiiout the whole district. He explained that a pumper system such as is used in Montague would be useless for fighting fires on a farm, even though such a unit could be used easily in all five larger centers. whereas the self- contalned unit of sufficient gallon capacity. using fog nozzles. could be used to good effect every- where.

Mr. Alban Brothers of Cardigan proposed ii further meeting, and it was decided that another meet- ing. to which the Provincial Fire Marshall would be asked, would be held in the very hear future.
