Mr. Russell who spoke from the independent benches. said he had been expelled lihll morning from the Liberal Party. This brought the number of Independ- ents to three. Progresivo Con- servatives hold'five seats. With one seat still vacant following a

Senate appointment the ruling Liberal ranks have been reduced to 19

Earlier in the sitting the House rejected a motion by Opposition lmder John G. Higgins to elim- inate an allocation of 32,000,000 in the Department of Economic Dr-veiocpment.

Mr. Higgins contended money had already been spent on the Government's cementiand 5,, um mill projects without legislative sanction in violation at the Audit Act. .., l Declaring not would support s,ii government measures in which lie had already participated. Mr. Russell said he advised the Pre- mier to relax ilhe rigidity oi! his cabinet rules or else try for more

Unless a Minister dlsagred on a matter of conscience it was of no use to resign and say "I won't play in your back- yard. If action is lost in the pale cast of thought. the cabinet ceases to govem and becomes a debating club."

"Free" Health Service Costly

LONDON. March 27-(Reuters: - Britain's state health service, which provides medical attention "free" for everyone, will cost i:308,083,000 (31.10-1.249.000) during the next 12 months. Government estimates allowed today.

The cost. is 55,000,000 more than for the current financial year.

The 'coat may be higher if Britbin's 20.000 nationalized doc- ton have their way-they want more money. They get about the equivalent of 32.50 for each patient on their books. Some have as many as 4,000 patients. the max- imum they are allowed to reg- islet.

Soaring costs of the plan could be trimmed if the sick paid even a small sum on reporting to their doctors. But the government is

against this.

Ed.M., Ed.D., as he spoke on "Suppose All Schools Were Closed." Dr. Marshall, who is in charge of education at Acadia University. told the audience they did not have enough conceit re- garding the importance of their work. and if he could do so. he would send each and every one of them back to their communities with "swelled head."

In l'OlIl'd to the title of his ad- dress. he asked them to think for I few minutes of what would hap- pen if they all decided to go out on strike. He referred to the press- lse held by lawyers. deniats and many other professions, and stoma teachers are far more important than any of them because it is their duty to mold the lives of their pupils.

"Every little lesson you teach is the result of centuries of work," he said. As an example. Dr, Marshall pointed out the simple no.1 'Y'”m 01 Wily. referring to it as the I-Iindoo-Arabic system, and ii. Iustraied what an advancement it was over" the old Roman numeral method.
