About 20 travellers were by snowdrifts from four to 12 feet deep on highways be tween the Georgian Bay city ‘of Owen Sound and Orangeville, 45 miles to the southeast. In Northern Ontario the sec- ond blizzard in 10 days dropped up to 11 inches of snow in the Timmins area and all but halted road travel. A new snow depth record of 39 inches was set at Sault Ste.

OTTAWA (CP) — Am Atlantic free trade area was suggested Monday night in the Senate by Senator Harokid Connolly (L — Nova Scotia).

He said that if the federal gov- ernment is willing to give the AtJantic provinces autonomy and & chance to improve their lot, the four provinces should be re- leased from the “tyranny of Canadian fiscal policy” by the setting up of a free trade area there.

Such an idea was no more im- practical, he said, than arrang- ing the tariffs so that two prov- inces benefit and the other eight suffer. He went into no further detail.

Senator Connolly, also proposed the federal government’ set up a ae industrial develop-

ment fund to be administered in the Maritimes for the develop- ment of mercantile and manufac- turing industries. In that way, the Maritimes might beable to

He urged that all Canadian ports be set free of the board or, if the government believes the idea of a National Harbors Board is sound, all ports should be placed under its control.

Senator Connolly, who eaclier this session proposed that Mari- time senators try to block St. Lawrence Seaway legislation, made his -uggestions during coa- sideration of changes in Trans- Canada Highway legislation.
