Lengthy Discussion On Estimates In Legislature

Neither the Premier acting as Minister of Education nor the At- torncy General in his capacity of Provincial Treasurer are taking the salaries to which the port- folios entitle them. Hon. W. E. Darby said in the Legislature yes- terday as the Estimates were un- C-:r discussion. He said for this reason that what looked like an increase in costs of general Gov- ernment wss only an apparent one and not an actual increase. He did not state the amount the two ministers of the Crown re- ceivcd.

Asked by Mr. W. F. A. Stewart why the contribution to the- Commonwealth Parliamentary As- sociation had not been paid in re- cent ysars Mr. Darby stated that it had been overlooks but was now being paid nd this Province would be represented at the conference held by that body. Mr. Stewart said he was asking as he was a charter member and its first president and he had re- celved many letters asking why the Province had not paid its annual share.

Replying to a question asked by Mr. R. Bell regarding the cost of the t lp to New York to complete is bond issue sale. Mr. Darby said the Journey was made by him and his deputy on a 335 per diem cost. They were gone to days he said.

In talking of various items in the Estimates. Mr. Darby paid a tribute to Mr. Robert Craig, Corps of Commlssionalres who escorts visitors around Csnfede stion Chamber.

.He said the roads to Live Park are heavily travelled, both by tourists and our own citizens. and he specifically mentioned the May- field Road leading from New Glasgow to Cavendish. He said it had been subgrsded at each end last year but there was a stretch in the centre in very poor condition. He asked the Minis- ter of Highways to take care of the matter this year as there is an excellent development for tourists at Cavendish and there had been thousands of visitors last year. ,

Mr. Bell offered congratulations to the Park superintendent and his assistants for the splendid work being done and the improve- ments they were msking. He said it was all done through the National Parks Department. Ot- tawa, at no cost to this Province. The Leader of the Opposition not- ed that there was a good road through the Park from North Rustlco to Cavendish along the shore. He also stated he under- stood there were plans being made for construction of bridges and a highway along the north side connectin, Robinson's Island at North Rustico and then to run castwsrdly to Brackley Point and Covehesd. Although the plans were being held up at present he thought the Government should attempt to bring pressure on the Federal Minister of Parks. lion. Robert Winters. to proceed with the project.

Small Boy Rescues Two From Brook

seven-year-old Wayne Mathe- son. .aon of Police Officer and Mrs. Elmer Matheson, playing on the front door step at his home on Water st. West, in summerslde. yesterday, heard the cries of two small children coming from the area near the mouth of s brook which leads from the ice pond at the west entrance to summerslde and flows into the harbor. Looldng in the direction of the cries he observed two small child- ren struggling in water over their heads. . Running to the spot. he waded in without fear for himself, and in turn rescued the two children from drowning.

Tho little tots were Terry, age I. and Beverly, age 4. son and dau- ghter of Flying Officer and Mrs. Richard Baptiste.

It appeared that the two child- ren were playing near the mouth of the brook when the girl in some manner fell into the water, and in trring to assist his little sister, the little boy also slipped into the water.

ft is believed that both chlldrtn might have drowned had it not been for the prompt action on the part. of the rllstheson boy.

The little girl when rescued, was completely exhausted, and had to be carried to her home nearby.-s

OTTAWA. April D-(CP)-The Federal Government today an- nounced a 25-cent-s-pound price- support program for beef.

The price is for "good" quality steers at Toronto. The rate will vary for other grades and at other points across the country.

Provinces To Cooperate

Mr. Mccubbin said later in an interview that provinces with livestock embargoes have agreed "to co-operate" and turn over markeling responsibility to Federal Government. That would mean the end of provincial live- stock embargoes. At Victoria, Agriculture Minis- ter Harry Bowman of British Cu- lumbia. said the provincial embar- goes will continue until next week when a special Ottawa conference will be held to discuss market handlinng. Mr. Mccubbin con- l'lrmed that the meeting will be held. He said all provinces have been asked to send representat- ives. p However, he added, there will be government. pricc sup- port for heel of one variety or another until the United

States embargo against Can-

adian cattle is lifted or modi-

fled or other markets are found for Canadian beef.

The price support program is expected to stabilize beef prices at approximately current prices along the line from producerp to , retailer.

Ml". Mccubbin also announced that federal - provincial arrange- ments have been completed to

deal with livestock marketing pol- icy. Two special committces will be

mittee will be established to which all provincial governments may appoint representatives.

At Victoria. Harry Bowman. Columbia's Agriculture Minister, said 13. C. will take'no action to remove restrictions at least until after a federal-pro- vincial market-handling meeting here Tuesday next.
