last Winter Election Held On March 26, I940

OTTAWA (CP)—Federal politi- clans. faced with I winter elec- tion. can take comfort in the thought that such chilly cam- W8 doesn't happen very

Only four times, among the 23 e_ral elections since Confed- Iration, have candidates been re- tluired to chase votes in the dead of winter during January, Febru- ITY or March. 011131 a handful of present Com- Eons members experienced th e st such occasion — the election If March 26, 1940. The other ee winter elections occurred before the turn of the century. For what it's worth, on each of 9 four occasions the govern-

ment of the day was returned to power.

FIVE JUNE ELECTIONS Since selection of the voting 3 most times has been a mat- ~of government choice instead of necessity, most of the elec-

tions have fallen in June or in the autumn. .

Five national elect-ions have been in June. Eight have oc- curred during the‘. three autumn months since the practice was

adopted of having everyone vote '

on a single day. It is a little- known fact that the first two elections a f t e r Confederation were spread over several weeks: The 1867 one from Aug. 7 to Sept. 20, and the one in 1872 from July m to Oct. 12.

Two election days, in 1917 and 1921, fell in December. But they did not involve the same rigors experienced ahead of the four mid - winter votes because most of the actual campaigning was done before really cold weather set in.

Two months have never been chosen for a voting day:- April and May. The probable reason is that such dates would involve campaigning which would con- flict with the Easter season.

Indian Appointed To Senate

Before House

OTTAWA (CP)—-A flurry of ap- pointments preceded/ Saturday’s dissolution of Parliament and Prime Minister Diefenbaker’s an- nouncement of a March 31 gen- eral election.

The prime minister fulfilled a promise made during the 1957 election campaign to appoint a Canadian Indian to the Senate. Another appointment was that of Hon. Dana Porter as chief justice of Ontario.

Jim Gladstone, 70 - year - old member of Alberta’s Blood re- serve, lwcame the first Cana ian Indian "named to the 102-seat en- ate. He will receive an annual taxable indemnity of $8,000 and a tax-free allowance of $2,000.

Two days previously, Mr. Dief- enbaker appointed thefirst sena- tor of Icelandic extraction——Gun- nar S. Thorvaldson’ of Winnipeg, a former president of the Cana- dian Chamber of Commerce.

IS 11TH NAMED

Mr. Gladstone, 11th person ap- pointed to , the Senate by Mr. Diefenbaker, is a prosperous farmer and cat.-tleman in the Card- ston, Alta., area.

Chief Justice Porter, veteran member of Ontario’s Progressive Conservative cabinet, succeeds Hon. J. W. Pickup, who resigned last summer because of ill health.

The new chief justice, who re- signed Friday as provincial treas- urer, will serve as head of the Ontario Court of Appeal.

A native of Toronto, the 57- year-old chief justice was a mem- ber of the Ontario legislature since 1943.

The other appointments in- cluded that of Lt.-Col. Charles Cecil Merritt, VC, of Vancouver as a governor of the National Film Board. Col. Merritt, 49, was Progressive Conservative mem- ber of Parliament for Vancouver Burrard from 1945 to 1949.

The 213 units will be contained in 40 buildings which will vary from 4, 6, and 8 separate hous- ing units per building.

Construction will begin im- mediately so as to provide win- ter employment for construction workers, and while the first units will be ready for oc- cupancy by early summer, the entire project will take about a year and a half to complete.

These buildings will be structed on the Camp Gage- town married quarters site. They will be of two-storey construc- tion, with the first storey finish- ed in brick veneer siding, and the above area above being fin-

Northern New Brunswick got lots of snow du 'ng the month. Campbellton n the Quebec line recorded 52 inches and Chatham, N. B., had 41 inches.

Prime M i n i s ter Diefenbaker made the announcement in the Commons following a sudden flight to Quebec City where Gov- ernor - General Massey consented to dissolution of the 23rd parlia- ment.

At the end of a dramatic 10- minute statement, repeatedly pro- tested by the Opposition, he de- clared: “This Parliament now is dissolved."

Speaker Roland Michener said: ‘This House of Commons has no further existence.” He left his chair. The time was 6:11 p.m.

Mr. Diefenbaker said the min- ority P r o g ressive Conservative government, with 113 of the 265 Commons seats, was in an “in- tolerable" situation.

NEED DIRECT MANDATE

To be effective, a government needed “a direct and unquestioned mandate from the people.”

It was the end of a Parliament elected last June 10. It plunged the country into the fifth mid- winter election campaign since Confederation.

“The campaign starts tonight,” Mr. Diefenbaker said later Satur- day night at a banquet of exultant Young Progressive Conservatives ending their national meeting.

T. C. A. Aircraft lands Safely Despite Trouble

LONDON (AP) -— A Canadian airliner carrying 64 passengers limped into London Airport amid

a ground alert Sunday night after a transatlantic "oyage dogged by

engine trouble.

The Trans-Canada Air Lines Super Constellation ran into en- gine trouble shortly after taking off from Toronto. The pilot had

to jettison thousands of gallons of fuel before flying into Montreal but made it without mishap. Then as the plane nosed out over the Atlantic the pilot found he had to cut out one of its four engines. It was decided to bypass the scheduled stop at Prestwick,

Scotland, and head straight for London Airport where fire trucks and ambulances were called out

to stand by.

The plane came in safely on three engines. Scotland - bound

passengers were sent north on

another flight.

48 Killed When Planes Plunge Into Los Angeles

NORWALK, Calif. (AP)—Two big military planes collided in flight Saturday night and plunged in flames into a thickly populated Los Angeles suburb, killing 48 persons.

Forty—one of the victims were aboard a huge -transport, six aboard a navy patrol bomber. One was a housewife blocks from the crash who was decapitated by flying wreckage. Two navy airmen were saved.

The planes collided in clear. starlit skies some 2,500 feet above Norwalk, a community of 69,000, 20 miles southeast of Los Angeles. V

The Military Air Transport Service plane plunged in flames, scattering bits of wreckage over a five-block area before breaking up over one of the heaviest trav- elled highways in the city. The tail section tore into a service station and the fuselage plowed into the rear yard of the sheriff’s station.
