spending ol every government department is rising, he said. 1-lgh taxes and tederal annexation oi certain tax iields were impairing the ablity oi the provinces to raise money. Danger signs already were ilylng and members or parliament should need went.

The proposal was deteated by a vote at 107 to an at the night alt- ting or he commons. The Progres- sive Conservatives were supported by Social Credit members and Ross Thatcher (C.C.l".-Moose Jaw) who split with no party. The Lib! erais and the c.c.r'. Joined to de- test the suggestion.

Marketing Disruptions Boost Meat Stockpile

OTTAWA, May 12-(CP)-Live stock marketing disruptions are boosting Canada's meat stock- pile.

It rose to 87,894,000 pounds on May 1, a jump at almost 20,000,- 000 lrom 68,693,000 is year ago. the Bureau ol Statistics reported today.

Part of the surplus likely will disappear once Canada gets roll- lng on the barter deal to ship about 40,000,000 pounds or meat to Britain. Frlst shipments of beef to the U. K. since 1948 may begin lrom Montreal within a iew weeks.

Almost all oi the beel tor the U. X. will come lrom Alberta, where the Federal Government has started purchases to main- tain heel liaor prices.

Shipments likely will include

no meat lrom Saskatchewan be- cause ol toot-and-mouth disease there, or Manitoba. The Federal Governgnent considers that Mani- toba. by maintaining an embargo on Western cattle imports, has taken her own measures to pre- vent meat surpluses lrom accum- ulating in that province.

Most of the increase in meat stocks on May 1 was in pork. Holdings ol lrozen meat totalled 55.426.000 Pounds, up lrom 40.- 666,000 last year. Pork increased to 41,413,000 from 26.6 .000: beer, to 9,363,000 lrom 9,037. ; mutton and lamb, to 1,738,000 lrom 1307.- 0()0. Veal eased to 1,562,000 tron-i 1.637.000.

Fresh meat on May 1 totalled 15Xi7,000 pounds, up from 13,- 858,000. Cured meat increased to 15,631,000 from 14,169,000.

Blames U. S. Potato Shortage on BIatiLMarkei

FREDERIOTON. May 12 - (GP) -i.- A prominent New Brunswick potato producer today blamed the U.s. potato shortage on "black marketing" by Maine growers on .tne'lucratlvevanadlan trees:

The producer, who asked not to mm

be identiiied. said Maine growers were selling their warn acres the border in New Brunswick, where they received 01.10 per peek in- stead oi the as-cent 0.5. ceiling price.

The low United states crop has caused a surge in prices in Mari- time retail outlets ol a few cents weekly. Producers do not predict iurther increases because "the mar- ket is stnding Just about all it can be"...

The New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island crops last year were cut. by blight.

Mr. Elmer Harris, author ol the lamous lilm production, "Johnny Belinda." Mr. Harris has spent the summer months at his home at Fortune Bridge. P.E.I., tor the past iorty- six years. The speaker recalled that it was .iai;.ixoirr'.liara.-near ninsvieifl many years ago, ithat he lirst had the idea ol writing a pin! based on the theme of Johnny Belinda. one day he came across a very handsome red-haired girl who had a charming personality but sullered from the handicap of being deal and dumb. He thought deeply about this lor a long time and then decided to write the play. Mr. Harris in pre- paration ior the story, visited vari- ous schools in ditlerent parts of the United States and saw the wonderlul work they are doing. 'At one school near Washington which he had been instructed to visit by a deal mute Irish washer- womsn he was amazed at what he saw. In this school the head matron called in a girl about iii- teen years ol age. The matron played the piano while the girl kept her hand on it and at the same time acted out the words ot "America" in pcrtect time to the piano music. This girl was a member of the school dramatic club. In another case he gave a dinner to some oi these pupils in New York and at the end ol the dinner they repeated with signs in unison The Lord's Prayer which Mr. Harris said was a. study in pathos and courage in adversity. Incidentally Mr. Harris said that in a report lrom his studio they estimated over three million girl babies have now been named Belinda. Little Theatres
