Nikita To Get Sights Choice

GETTYSBURG, Pa (AP)— President Disenhower said Wed- nesday that Nikita § Khrushchev ~will be invited to tour some mil- itary installations on his visit to the United States next month. _ The Soviet Premier has said he isn't interested—that he is com- ing here as a man of peace, with Ro rocket in his pocket. Eisenhower told the first full- seale press conference he has 4eld as president outside Wash- ington that he would give Khrush- chev ‘a fairly wide choice’ of what he could see im the way of defence establishments.

But Eisenhower also said that ‘I am not going to push and press #,”’ and ‘if he doesn’t want to, that is that.”

_Much of the pushing and pres- sing has come from members of Congress. Some of them have said Kbrushchev should be shown some of the power he would en-

might and intentions and ignited a third world war.

Apparently they had been dead some time prior to interment as the bones were neatly ‘packaged’ im a bundle.

It is believed that possibly the ancieat Indian custom of placing the dead, suitably wrap-

and the later lowered into

Exhibitions and fairs such as this, the Minister said, encour- age farmers to improve quality and produce better. The manage- ment and directors of the Pro- vincial Exhibition were to be congratulated and commended

The Hon. Mr. Harkness, who|!

was introduced by Hon. Angus MacLean, fisheries, paid leading role played by Island agriculture in dairy cattle, hogs and seed potatoes. He felt that agriculture would always remain the backbone Province, and urged continual

steps to improve quality of pro-f'

duction.

In 1966, agriculture enjoyed its |’.

best year since 1953 and reports for the first quarter of 1959 showed the highest gross income for agriculture in history, said the Minister.

Although this was the fourth time he had visited the Province, it was the first chance he had of really seeing the country and meeting the people. He had motored through Covehead, Brackley Point, Eldon and Fiat River and was impressed by what he saw.

Premier Matheson said at Murray River Tuesday night, he would await with inter- est the details of PC leader Shaw's proposal to pay tea- chers’ supplements from pro- vincial revenue.

Pensions to widows without means and to unmarried women in the same category will be made available, the Premier promised. He noted that such persons may now receive-a pen- sion at 65 on evidence revealed yy a means test and at 70 they are of course eligible for the rational old age pension.

The proposed new legislation would give women a pension five years sooner than they have hitherto received it. The old age assistance granted between 63> 70 is shared on a 530-50 basis with the federal government but the pensions paid to women between 60-65 would be paid directly out of provincial revenue, he said.
