Tribute Paid Late Dr. Creelman By Leader Of The Opposition

When the Legislature met yes- terday to consider the estimates of the Department of Health. Mr. R. R. Bell said it was only fitting for theHousetomalsa note of the work done by the late Dr. P.A. Creelman Superintendent of the sanatorlum and director of TB. Control for the Province. .

Mr. Bell said Dr. Creelman was wrapped up in his work at the sanatorlum and ventured the opin- ion that "he wore himself out in the service of the Province." He said the Province owed a great deal to the work done by Dr. Creslman in the control of hiber- culoaia which incidence was re- duced from over till to every mono to three per hundred thou- sand.

Dr. L.G. Dewar asked the Min- isksr of Health were any renova- tions eonternplated at the Health Centre thh yaar- He understood that acute sxtmsions or alter- ations were to be made to provide for a separate laboratory for tech- nicians dealing with T.B.. research.

On the other hand. he said if a person were sent to the hospital for the express purpose of having a cancer diagnosis made and even

toenail, all expenses would be paid for the first three days in hospital. IIWEI TAKE ADVANTAGE

Assent was given to the Provincial Budget of 315.685.-1.17 by the Legislature which sat in committee from eleven o'clock yesterday morning to beY0nd eleven last night before the Motion of Supply was adopted.

Opposition Leader Bell asked the Provincial Treasurer where he was going to get the 320.000 per month which he would have to re- pay Ottawa for the overpayment

Prime Minister Macmillan said w--- - Macmillan said the desire of a "0 pmv" 9" 9 '5

had been made for this con- tlngency.

Mr. MacDonald said it would not be a matter of paying it back since Ottawa would recover the amount from the monthly pay- ments. Premler Matheson inter- jccted to state that the amount withheld by Ottawa would not effect the budget which he said would be more than taken tare of by the floor agreements " ed at the recent Ottawa talks.

in addition to the Sl5.6tl5.tl7 there is provision for a "sum suf- ficicnl" to establish the Prince Edward island Frosted Foods Limited.

Mr. Bell asked the Premier how high that amount might go. The Premier said he was not prepared to state but said it could go as high as "it might

to the attention of the Legislature the condition of many of the sec- ondary roads in their districts which have not been cleared of snow for a month or so.

G.E. Saville. Liberal. Filth sKings said a large percentage of the people in his district were fishermen and with the fishing season fast approaching they would have to haul large quanti- ties of bait. He urged the Govern- ment to try by every means pos- sible to make tile roads passable. He also stated that many far- mers still had potatoes to haul as well as fertiliser.

H.P. Smith. Liberal. Fourth Queens. said a large number of his constltutents had complained to him that they could not travel on snow bound roads. He urged immediate action to clear these roads.

Dr. L.G. Dewar. Conservative. second Prince said many rural residents were having difficulty in getting around. not only at the present time but all through the winter. "it seems to me if we are to keep our rural people in the province we must try to improve travelling conditions for them in the winter months. We spend a lot of money on the roads in summer surely we could give more attention to winter condi- tions." he said.
