Que. Ap

OTTAWA (CP)——Onesime Gag- non, veteran member of Premier M a u r i c e Duplessis’ provincial cabinet, Wednesday was named lieutenant-governor o Quebec by- Prime Minister Die baker.

Mr. Gagnon, 69-year-old lawyer, resigned Friday as provincial fi- nance minister and the post was taken over by Lands and Forests Minister J. S. Bourque.

The new Quebec lieutenant- governor assumes his appoint- ment Feb. 14, succeeding Gas- pard Fauteux, who has held the post since Oct. 1, 1950.

The appointment was the third of a new lieutenant-governor in less than 24 hours. Mr. Diefen- baker announced late Tuesday

at CBC Montreal.

Mr._ and Mrs. R. L. Cotton of Charlottetown,, have generously turned over to the Provincial Government forty acres of land at Strathgartney to be developed as a ‘camp site and" picnic ground. The transfer of title was made yesterday.

Premier A. W. Matheson ex- pressed warm appreciation of the gift. He said the land will be developed in co-operation with Federal authorities under the plan by which the Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources will pay one-half the cost of the work done prior to

ease the unemployment situation by providing winter employment.

Mr. and Mrs. Cotton said yes- terday in an interview that they have also offered to turn over to the Provincial Government two other parcels of land that could be developed for the same purpose.

One is at Belfast and it is land owned formerly by M a l c o 1 in MacPherson. Also included is three acres across the road from the MacPherson p r o p e r t y on which is located the old French cemetery. The Caledonia -Club held its annual field day last year on the old MacPherson farm.

The other parcel of land is at Roseneath on the Georgetown highway. It fronts 25 chains on the pavement and runs down to the beautiful Brudenell River. It is located close to the -historic Gordon .-Island in the centre of that river. It contains 85 acres. It is land that was" purchased from Robert Dewar.

The land at Strathgartney is conveniently 1 o c a t e d on tho Trans-Canada highway and it is as beautiful and scenic a spot as can be found in the Province. It is a part of the farm owned

OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker Wednes- day threw a crimp in-to mounting speculation that Parliament will be dissolved by Saturday for an election March 31.

Following a two-liour cabinet meeting reporters asked him whether Parliament will still be meeting Monday.

“I don’t know why not." the prime minister replied.

The timing of the election ma- chinery would require dissolution on Saturday at the latest to en- able voting to take place Monday, March 31. And in the last two

WANTS CLEAR AGENDA

Hcwever, Mr. Diefenbaker indi- cated clearly that he wants to clear up the legislative program still before the Commons.

If the prime minister lets the weekend go by without springing an election, there still will remain plenty of speculation about other ,dates in the near future. April 14 rand June 9 still rank high in the “guessing game which has ab- Isorbed parliamentary circles rec- ently. Both are Mondays —— the day required by law for general elections.

considers it enjoyable reading.

Earlier, in the Commons, he left the lmpression—perhaps de- liberately--that he is taking a leisurely approach to the question of when he may call an election. With the apparent unwillingness of the three opposition parties to combine in defeating the minor- ity Prbgressive Conservative gov- ernment, that question has been pretty well left up to him.
