They claim that the vanilla ill ll”? voted favorably on an ilicrcase cl m,0O0 in sessionzil indemnity. and that the Premier, before leaving l(ll' Ottawa. had asked them to ri-coii- lider the matter. promising to abide by their decision alld bring ill tilt? necessary legislation. During ills Hil- sence. at another caucus. they rill the proposed amount. to 3750: bill the Premier. on his return. refused to sanction it or to bring in any hill effecting an increase. Later. "fol- lowing a discussion with the Provin- cial Treasurer and other members," and as they claim with the concur- rence of the Premier. a M50 vote for nus ii-;,x-piling expenses was placed in contingent accounts. and put through at the closed meeting of the House which is held to deal with ex- penses contingent upon the ordinary work of the session.

Here the Opposition members first entered the picture and be.- came involved in the transaction. It seems. however. that they had prev- iously been approached by Liberal members to support the 31,000 In- demnity boost, and had refused. This too was evidently a very hush- hush affair at the time.

The story of the Liberal mem- bers is at variance with the Prem- ier's contention that the Government was new-r a cnilsentiitg party in any increase: but l.he cardinal fact with regard to the secrecy surround- ing the whole proceedings is not dis- puted. This secrecy was maintained for several weeks and its disclosure now has milserl a good deal of in- dignation throughout the countr.V-

There are other reasons for pub- lic reaction. This Province. at present is seriously handicapped financially. with little hope of -obtaining a fair tax-rental deal from the Dominlml Government. The Provincial Treas- urer made this clear in his Budget speech and the Premier was equally frank in his statements to the House on his return from the Ottawa con- ference. Very little could be done in the way of increasing teachers sai- aries. and our farmers were admit- tedly facing difficult times.

A Safety Plan

A report from Religious News Service s;l,vs that a church leader in Switzerland. which like most other countries. is faced with an ever in- creasing traffic toll, has formed an organization to combat reckless driving. lie calls it. a ”Confraternity of Knights of the Road". Any mo- torist" may join simply by signing the following statement: ”Any human life is sal:l'erl. Anyone who endang- ers or impairs it will have to answer not only before men but also before God. its giver. Consequently. respect for the lives of. others will have priority over every other consider- ation and will forbid the slightest im- prudeiice". Members are identified by an appropriate sticker placed on the windshield. Already. the report says. the idea is catching on and xiii-parting to other European coun- tries.

Anything that has the slighest. chalice of contributing to safer driv- ing is unl'lll driving: alid it may he that this Swiss organization is on the right track. But drivers who would be willing to sign such a statement are not. rjcucrally. the sort. of per- S(lllx ii ho would he likely to disre- gnrrl safely l'lllt"s'. They might. in- deed. be involved in accidents. for these can happen to anyone. but their rs-spcct for the safety of others and their reverence for life would keep them immune to foolhardiness which is at the root of most forms of reckless driving.

TEACHERS' SALARIES

Sir. --The recent. release of infor- mation on the salary increase. given to the members of the Legislature in the dying hours of the last session causes one to ponder over the ways of man and leads one to doubt that there is such a thing as fair play or just- ice in the world.

Let us grant. the fact that the 5450 given In our members ear- m a r k e d "travelling expenses" comes to them as their just due. How does this compare with the 5100 given to the. teachers" You will remember thal at that time regret was expressed that tho Governmciit could not afford to pay the teachers iiiore.

Some organizations. including the Tc-achcrs' Federation. arc deeply concerned over the gravity or the teacher situation on the island. We are perturbed over the few who are willing to go into tench- lng today. Need we. look further

' for reasons than just this incident of salary. Olir tcacliers have been given secondary consideration for so long that many have left. and are still leaving. the province to go to other parts of Canada where they are paid a salary in keeping with their worth. There are many excellent island teachers whosc worth in the educational field can never be measured. These. for one reason or another. remain with us. but unl'ort.unately are left with I feeling of frustration ulien inci- dents rlf this sort nrrul

High Speed Aircraft

By William (Tnurtciiay. 0.B.E.

Britainis new delta iiliiced sull- ersonic bomber wliicli Arms of Manchester and Canada are in build will be in the 1.500 mph in 1.750 mph class and indeed must attain such speeds for ll ulll be 1965 before it is in service and by 1963 the 1750 mph Fighter will he soon in Commonwealth and NATO Air Forces.

This means that the Brltisll Fair- cy Delta winged Research air- craft. which recently was flown at it new world speed record of H32 mph will not go into production and will be regarded as purely a research type to acquire exper- ience of conditions near the ”heat b.'irrier". This is the area which when aircraft fly at twice the speed of sound creates such fric- tion that heat almost amounting to danger of incandecence arise. In fact Peter Twiss. the British pilot. revealed on March lflth when set- ting up his memorable new world speed record for tile Faircy Avi- ation Company that. he fell the effecls of heat.

Once a new type of Vlglllcr has flown. some three. years are re- quired for devclopement of

The Russian 4-engined 'Bisnii' jet bomber is in the same class as the. American B 52 and of Britain's new jet l30nll)cl's now going into service. These are all in the 600 to 650 mph class and the '1-Iuntei” and F 100 should be able to cope with this phase of Russian Bomber per- formance. aided at night by Bri- tain's new Gloster Delta lJaveliil' night Fighter now in service with the R A F.

For the 1,500 m.p.h. to 1.750 m.p.li. Fighter is clearly the next jump in development.

TEN YEAR PROJECT

The British Air Miliislry has re- vealed there will be ”one more mnnned ”Bomher”. and this in Avros delta winged-type now in design stage. As it takes all of ten years to bring these types to pro- rluction and Squadrons use we must not expect to see them in Common- wealth. U.S.. or Russian Squadrons before 1905. But the race is on and one country of the three may lie- cure a 12 months lead over rivals- if good fortune attends design and first Icsts: and if the production film is rapid and smooth.

Whoever leads will possess dip- Inmaiir power and the important pntlli is to keep the gap with poss-

The significance of tile fiiic per- mance put up by the U 5 'Star- flghlel" is that it is in quanity order for the Us Air Force and sluiiild reach Suliiulrons by 1958. The Bri- llsli Falrcy Delta type will be null- rlnssed by a similar performer in

It is the Avro Delta Bomber which will probably be built in Canada as well as Britain. which may well prove to be the worlds dominating strategic aircraft of 1965. Just In the Saunders-Roe In- terceptor Fighter may win the palm as the most peerless Fighter of that year.
