He did not particularly agree with other speakers that farmers had a. complairtabout the cost of electric power and told the House that prior to the taking over by the Maritime Electric there were many small power oompani- each of which had givcn'sp alv-rates to the church in its own district.

on the subject of agriculture he thought that the price of 40 cents paid to farmers for pork in the past a bit too high. but by the same token he thought the present price of 25 cents was too low. He did not think that the floor price on dairy products was commensurate with costs of production.

Hon. Keir Clark

The final speaker in the debate on the Draft Address, I-ion. Keir Clark, Third Kings, expressed the thought regarding the proposed bus franchise to theirallway that it might be a good thing for the Prov- ince to have a uniform transports- tion system.

l-ie believed that members should look to the future of the railway here and he'dld not find present bus services between Mur- my Harbour and Murray River very .satisiactory. ,He was not worried about the arguments that a monopoly given to the railway might cause a similar situation to that when the strike was in pro- gress. "If we get a suitable guar- antee of no strikes for the busses we rmght also gctpbetter service."

He expected to see even greater curtailment oi railway services in the Eastern part of the Province in any event and if the railway were not permitted to operate busses "we might not have any service." .

So far as the Election Act is concerned he said he would sup- port any change which il for the better. The property vote. he felt, has some good features, but the

' time has come to model our act

after that oi the Dominion and we should go "all out" to get a new set instead oi Just revamp- ing the oid one. He asked. though. if public opinion was ripe for a new act and he also wondered if the political parties themselves were prepared for it. lie also thought the members might give serious consideration to including compulsory voting in any change.

S'side Wing ll.lLA.F.t Ass'n. Annual Meeing

At the annual meeting oi the Summerside Wing, R.C.A.F. As- sociation held last night in their

club rooms, Mr. Roy Johnston (above) was elected president for the coming year. Mr. A. G. Rogers was elected as first vice president, and Mr. Jock Hopkirk as second vice president. The treasurer is Norman Hogg and the secretary William Young.

The executive for the next year will be Messrs. Pope MacMahon, Erroll Laughiin. George Chappell, Dr. Gilbert Gallant. .

The newly elected president oi the wing was also elected as a di- rector from this wing to represent it on the Maritime board.

The meeting was presided over retiring president, Greg Mulholland and reports of the vari- ous committees were received and tabled. All indicated that the business oi the association was be- ing conducted "in a splendid man- ner and the prospects for the fut- ure were very promising.

After routine business had been concluded Mr. Mulholland turned the meeting over to the newly elected president after having high- iy complimented the members on their selection of president and executive for the coming year. He thanked all for the splendid co- operation he had received and said that although the office had meant considerable work he felt that he had been amply repaid by the pleasure he had in serving the past term.

In assuming office, pl Johnston paid tribute to the retir- ing president for the splendid work he had accomplished and asked for the same cooperation during the incoming year.-S

that the commons went officially and unanimously on rccord-prc- sumably with thep government's agreement as requesting the administration to consider aboli- tion oi the floor on medical de- ductions.

Mr. Knowles did not call for abandonment oi the existing ceil- ings - 3750 for single persons. 81.- 000 for married and 5250 for each dependent - on the amount of medical expenses that may be de- ducted from net income for tax purposes. Those ceilings might, he suggested, be reviewed.

But Mr. Sinclair. with another possible hint of budgetary changes. conceded that "perhaps the time has come to raise" the ceilings in View oi increased medical costs and fees, increased hospital charges and increased cost oi drugs.

He thought legislation might be needed to change the situation as there was no reason why Char- lottetown. just because it was nearer the source of power, should

get a cheaper rate than applied in rural areas.

-- Mhy Involve Quebec-

The legal fight. if it comes about. may see Quebec take a part since that province also has im- port restrictions on livestock and meat; from all provinces and may be affected by whatever ruling the court makes.

But at Ottawa, federal officials indicated the Canadian Govern- ment will side-step the issue and try not to get involved in any tricky constitutional question on federal-provincial rights.

Officials felt that if anyone should take any court action. it should be the provinces that are injured by the restrictions.

in the background near tally board. from left to right, are Don Hunter. clnude Lecky, John Leuty. and Clarence Mercer.

These auctions are conducted by a prom.pt, efficient system, in which an individual desiring to place a bid on any item dials one of the radio auction numbers.

The call is taken by one of sev-

eral operators at the auction room.

The bidder may inquire the cur- rent high bid on any item in the auction, any by a glance at the large tally boards facing the op- erators the phone operator is able to observe at a glance, the highest bid on any or all items.

The person calling may place a bid on any item or items; these bids are recorded on individual slips on which the auction num- bar. the price bid, and the name of the bidder are recorded by the operator.

These slips are then the board markers.

These boards (in background of picture) are large blaclcboards on which are spaces with numbers to correspond with the number of articles to be auctioned. Opposite these numbers are blank spaces on which the highest bids are record- ed. and changed as required by

OTTAWA. March 26--(CP)-The Air Force has adopted new fire- fighting equipment which an ex- pert says will give airmen a con- siderabiy-better chance of being rescued from crashed and burn-

ing planes. A demonstration was given to- day of apparatus which hurls

what is in effect pressurized bak- ing soda on the flames. "knocks them down," throws them back and cools oil the cockpit.

F0. Bert Quinn of Moose Jaw, Sask., and Ottawa. the R.C.A.F.'s chief fireman, says the billowing, while clouds make it possible to press flames back, wall them off and clear the way for rescues within three seconds.

They riidnit try rescue work in the demonstration at Uplands Air- port in the presence 'of United States, British and Canadian of- ficials. But they touched off a ronring fire with 300 gallons of gasoline around the skeleton of in Hudson hombcr and then put it out in 2 1X2 minuics. p

F0. Quinn says an advantage from Cnnndrrs standpoint is that the new process can be used in the Arctic. It has been tested at 65 degrees below zero.

The baking-soda-typo dry chem- ical was developed in the United States and is under fest by the

U. S. A. F. In Alaska. A Wond- stock, 0nt., firm (Bickle-Sean grave) has started to turn out

the special 540,000 red fire crash- trucks for its use.

The truck gushes the while cleuds in two ways, from two "guns" mounted on top which look something like anti-aircraft guns and from a number of hose-lines. A crew of eight men handle the gear.

The truck carries two tons of the dry chemical mainly consist- ing of sodium bicarbonate. The mnterlal now used is carbon diox- ids fonmi.

Simpsons. Sears. Roebuck Co. Confer

TORONTO. March 26 -(CfPi - Simpeons. Ltd., and Sears. Roe- buck and Company are consider- ing some sort of joint operation in Canada.

simpsons have department stores and a mail-order business across Canada, and sears, Roebuck is the biggest operator in that field in the United States.

The fact that the two have been in negotiation was confirm- ed today by the heads of both in- stitutions.

C. L. Burton. chairman of the board of Simpsons. said here that "discussions have taken place with officials of Sears. Roebuck. looking toward possible joint future cle- velopments in the Canadian field."

"These matters are still under discussion." he said. adding that the discussions "do not involve

the sale of any shares of Simp- sons. Ltd."

Mr. Burton's statement was tak-

en as dispelling rumors that the negotiations might involve the sale of Simpsons to the American firm. He made his announcement fol- lowing reports of comments in Chicago by Fowler Moconnell. president of Sears. Roebuck.

Mr. Moconncll was asked there about reports that his company was interested in Simpsons. He

have been held. but that "nothing tangible" has so far developed. He said reports that sears. Roebuck might obtain an interest in Simp- son are "highly prematufe."

The two statements gave official status to negotiation rumors of the last few weeks. but gave virtually

Air Force Adopts New Fire-Fighting Epuipment

Plastic Tubing Used For Feeding Premaiufe Babies

By FRANK CAREY

ATLANTIC CITY. March 26 - (AP) - Pipe-line feeding of pre- mature babies through a plastic tube that can be left in the body as long as two weeks at a time was recommended for use by fam- ily doctors today.

Dr. D. V. Jones of the Univer- sity of Cincinnati said the tech- nique - until now on trial only by baby specialists - is virtually hazard-proof and offers a time- saving method particularly useful for small hospitals. The tube is in- sorted through the infant's nose, down into his stomach.

Saying that at present the com- monest method of feeding those premature babies who can not be breast-fed or bottle-fed is the

said the plastic material had these advantages over rubber:

i. It can be left in the body for as long as two weeks. whereas rubber can not, thus eliminating the need for as many as eight in- sertions of tubing is day.

2. A single nurse can feed sev- eral children during the same time one rubber tubing feeding would take. Also, while the plas- tic tubing, like the rubber one, must be ihser;ed by an experi- cnccd doctor or nurse, the routine feeding thereafter can be done by

"inexperienced personnel." Dr. Jonespin a report to the American Academy of General

Practice. said this point is parti- cularly important in the case of the general practitioner, many of those cases are handled. in small hospitals with relatively small staffs.
