OTTAWA’ (CP) — Opposition members Tuesday accused the

through its crop insurance plan without fiaving consulted the provinces to ensure its accept- ance.

During Commons debate on the proposal, CCF House Leader Hgzen Argue said “if anything was designed to impede federal- provincial relations, to hold a gun to the Rrovinces and to demon strate acting in a high-handed{ and unifaterat manner, this is a classic example.” “’’”

Resources Minister Alvin hin: ilton said the plan offers a prac- tical... approach....to...farmers in drought areas.

But ‘if the government really wanted to fulfil its election prom- ise of a comprehensive crop in- surance plan, the least it could have done was consult the prov- inces beforehand.

The debate occurred as the bill came up for second reading—ap- proval in principle.

“The bill provides for the fed- eral’ government paying 20 per cent of erep*insuraiice pr j and 50 per cent of adniatenteel costs. Any province would have the option. .of. joining...

Mrs. Rand noted that a large percentage of the women of the world have no connection with any voluntary organization and women’s institutes through their efforts were to a large ~-extent overcoming this situation.

James Baillie said Tuesday a will take Pictou two or threes years to recover from’ Monday's $4,000,000" waterfront fire, even with immediate federal govern- ment aid.

The fire le&t this Northumber- land Strait port without facilities for transferring cargo between railway cars and ships. Seventy- five longshoremen were put out to work.

Provincial fire marshal Ken- neth Partington sent an. inspector here Monday to begin an investi- gation. The blaze was discovered’ in a transit shed but the cause has not been determined.

The fire marshal recalled that the exact cause of a similar fire in 1946 was never found. He said @ recommendation then that mod- ern earth-filled piers be built was not followed.

BURNED RAPIDLY

The creosoted piling’ supporti the piers burned so rapidly Mon day that even six fire depart-\_ ments could not control the flames for more than two hours. Dense smoke almost suffocated some firemen, 12 of whom were treated in hospital. -
