Will Confer
On Bringing,
Alberta Natural East
'I'(,)RON'IO, (OP)- Ontario offl- 'cials will confer with Premier Dup- lesals of Quebec in Quebec City to- day to exchange views on plans for bringing Alberta natural gas to eaatem Canada,
Representing Ontario will be At- torney-General Dana Porter and A it. Crosier, members of an eight- man committee recently appointed by the Ontario cabinet to prepare a report on the potential market in Ontario for western gas.
The report, now in the hands of Trade Minister Howe, is said to ex- press belief Ontario alone has sufficient industrial markets to as- sure the success of a 30-inch pipe- line from the West. With Quebec's potential demand added. a 36-inch line might be warranted.
It is reliably reported that if the Ontario hydro electric power com- mission is given the role of bring- ing the natural gas into Ontario. the commission will take over dis- tribution at the Manitoba border and build the necessary lines from there to central Ontario.
Build Quebec Market
if agreement were reached with Quebec, a branch from North Bay could serve Ottawa river commu- nities and Montreal. The main line would continue south to Toronto to lmnlc up with a transmission line from the westem -Ontario gasficlds. in this way, Ontario's natural gas rnuiri be used to help build the Quebec market and also depl to the Ontario gas fields for event 1 use as storage basins when the Alberta gas arrives.
it is thought possible still an- other line could be built along the north shore of Lake Ontario as far as Kingston. A branch northward would reach the Ottawa area and
hook into the line running into Quebec. ' UGLEY. England (OP)-In an

WAS!-IINGTON, (AP)-Well, sir, 1958 did all right in the any de- partment, too.
This was the year, for example, when Carmen went unatabbied in a Chicago performance. "Finish the opera youxl." Don Jou told the conductor. and flounoed off the stage, taking his dagger
with him. To Cu-men's everlast- ing credit, she collapsed and died a

It was the year when the Pitt- dow-n man, considered by many authorities to be 500,000 years old, was proved to be a scientific fraud. Plitdown, the British muse- um authoritiea said, wasn't a day over 50.000.
Politically, there were these de- vclopments:
Richard M, Nixon became the
first 11.8. vice-president ever to walk into a lion's den, As a side- show to an initiation stunt, Nixon went in and patted 18-year-old Sheba. "Hi, kitty," he said. The territory of Ohio finally made the grade. Due to some sort of slip-up, Ohio never was admitted to the union. corms gravely and legally accepted the new state, retroactive to March l, 1803.
Elsewhere, the scientific ap- proach was discovered in the young. A seven-year-old Cuahing, Okla., boy, listened to a fire chief lecture on the dangers of playing with matches-and went home to set the piece afire.
"I wanted to find out if they were telling the truth,â he said. "He sure was right."
A centenarian credited his long life to the fact he never married.
"Marriage," he said, "is for

QUEBEC. (CP)-Premier Du- plant: said Tuesday than is a tendency to "nationalize charity.â xepiying to a delegation of the Quebec Union of County Councils, which submitted its annual brief to the provincial government, Mr.
Duplauis said there does not sum to be brotherly love any- more. v
"Formerly," he said, "one was born at home, treated at home when one was sick and buried at home.
"Now, one is born in a hospi- tal, treated in a hospital and buried in funeral parlors."
The delegation, headed by Dr. A. B. Clement of Montreql, pre- sident of the union, asked for a federal-provincial agreement to provide pensions for handicapped persons. Mr. Dupleasis said Quo- bec spends between 84,000,000 and 35,000,000 annually for trades and crafts schools where handicapped persons are admitted.
"One must not ask too much of a province which wants to keep its autonomy," Mr. Duplenla said.
"The state has too many child- ren to be a good father." he added, quoting the late Premier Clemenceau of France.
Mr. Dupleasil favored a union request for a municipal code law which would allow judiciil re- counts without mandatory con- testation of elections. He also be- lieved a 24-hour notice for urgent and extraordinary municipal coun- cil meeting should be sufficient.

ililristnm At Beach Grove
Pro-Christmas activities at Beach Grove began December 19 with Mr. Jimlnie Power and a group of entertainers from Charlottetown staging a variety concert. During intermission Jimmie had a gener- ous trea.t'of fruit for everyone. This ii an annual pro-Christmas affair for Mr. Power and at this busy season he is certainly to be com- mended for his good work. On December 18, members of the Catholic Social Welfare Bureau visited the Institution and sang carols in the corridors and also had treats for all the patients. Also a choir from st. Joseph's Convent sang carols throughout the building. On December 20 the Red Cross High School Council group arrived to entertain the patients with Christmas Carola. These young peo- ple sang in the corridors on the three floors so that all might enjoy the carols. On December 22 the First and Third Companies of Girl Guides entertained the patients by singing carols on the different floors and had a treat of candy for each pat- ient. These entertainments were greatly enjoyed and very much ap- preciated both by the patients and the staff. The building was galiy decorated throughout for the Christmas season. Small trees were placed in the rooms of the patients who were unable to move around. On Christmas Eve, Santa arrived in the afternoon visiting all the patient: who were unable to leave their rooms and distributing gifts to each. In the evening patients and staff gathered inithe Audi- torium where a program of Christ- mas carols sung by the staff mem- bers, was enjoyed followed by the arrival of Santa Claus who dis- tributed the numerous gifts from around the large galiy decorated Christmas tree. 'On Christmas day the dining rooms and patients trays were pret- tiiy decorated in keeping with the festive season. The usual turkey dinner with all the trimmings was enjoyed by patients and staff with treats of ice cream, candy, and

Prices are high. Non-F unions have joined Communists in national strikes for higher wages. More strikes and intensi- fied labor trouble sum lure.
High production costs-and lush unit profits--have hurt exports. There is a heavy adverse balance

The government facing this eco- nomic mess is entirely composed of the Christian Democratic party. a Catholic centre party. If strong, it might find solutions. But the Christian Democrats are deeply divided. A minor cabinet shakeup seems imminent. proh- ahly indicating a slight move to the right.
The government has other pol- itical troubles. The last election left the centre parties with so slim a legislative majority that only Monarchisi: support has kept Premier Giuseppe Pella in power. Price of that support has been a policy of temporizing. For in- stance, the European Defence
