SESSIEILWILL

Continued from page I

launched a turbulent debate on procedure, Mr. St. Laurent said he would apply the rule Dec. 21, but today he said he would not take that immediate step it enough progress was made to make it unnecessary. . , The nub of the bitter parlia- mentary battle is it government bill which would make it illegal for manufacturers to fix the price

retailers may charge for their goods. The Progressive Conservatives

claim the legislation will set off predatory price wars and drive small merchants out of business; the Liberal. Social Credit and C. Cf. Parties generally agree it will benefit the man who pays- the consumer. Meantime, royal. assent was given by Chief Justice Thibaudenu Rinfret. - as acting governor-gem eral. to a series of bills already passed. including that bringing universal odd-age pensions of 840 a month into effect Jan. 1. This means the pensions now are law.

Progress Negligible

Despite a bouyant mood in to- day's opening stages. progress in the Commons was virtually neg- ligible. The chamber came to a vote on only one of three amendments be- fore it at various stages. It rejected by a count of 82 to 22 a Progressive Conservative mo- tion. introduced four day; ago by E D. Fulton (PC-Ksmloops). to kill the legislation outright. Lib- eral. C.C.F. and .Social Credit members voted against it.

M. J. Caldwell, C.C.F. leader. then introduced A motion that the b:li be shelved and consideration -be given to the regulation of price maintenance by I public board. However. he said he woudd not press the motion to I recorded vote. It became apparent that the de- bate would bog down when Mrs. Ellen Fairclough (PC-Hamilton West), threw in an amendment calling for the establishment of a "fair-trade" commission. ,

Mr. Drew topped off the day with I 90-vminute speech review- ing much of what his party sl- teady had said and charging that

the government's bill simply would assist monopolies. It was "sloppy" legislation that would

Fire on Thursday morning com- pletely destroyed the home of Mr. and Mrs. Abbie Perry. of sodth Freetown. The fire was discovered about to I. m. by Mrs. Perry. who was alone at home at the time. several of the telephone lines were out of er. which made it difficult to summon help around the community. Those who gath- ered were unable to save the hous0 but managed to remove the furni- ture from all the rooms.

It is understood that there was some insurance on the house, which. although one of the oldest in the Freetown district. had re- cently been renovated.

The fire is believed to have started from an overheated stove pipe.in an outside kitchen. -5

Moormond-llye Wedding

A quiet but pretty wedding was solemnized by Rev. J.W. MacKay at the Presbyterian Manse. Bum- inerslde. yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. when Mina Manson. daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Dye, and Edward Roy Mcormond, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Mcormond. cf Sudbury, Ontario. were united in marriage.

The bride chose for her wedding a suit of coffee brown gabardine with pink and rust accessories, and A corsage of pink and white roses Miss Joan Compton was brides- maid. and was attired in a suit of silver grey gabardine with navy accessories, and a corsage of Bet- tcr Time roses.

'Mr. Harry Dye. brother of the bride. was groomsman.

Following the ceremony 24 re- ception for the immediate friends and relatives was held at the home of the bride's parents.

The three-tier wedding cake. topped with miniature bride and groom. centered the bride's table. and was flanked by lighted tapers and Christmas decorations.

Mrs. Roy Tanton presided over the tea cups. and Miss Joan comp- ton. Mrs. Garth Gay. and Mrs. John Mungall assisted in serving. The bridal couple left on a short honeymoon trip through the Prov- ince. For travelling the bride don- ned a top coat of mink coney. -8

independent retailers

"to the wolves of big competition."

Fresh Viewpoint ,

One fresh viewpoint emerged from the day's debate.

Jack Charlton s(PC-Brant-Went- worth). a veterinary and farmer from rural, Western Ontario. warn- ed-that the government. by ban- ning resale price maintenance. was threatening the practice of setting price: for agricultural pro- ducts.

rxotion. suggested the govern- ent consider at the next ses- sion legislation to avoid price wars by outlawing "loss leaders" -- the practice of selling goods below cost to attract tomeru and kill off competition.

Mr St. Laurent replied. that the government considers that the Criminal Code gives protection to the independent retailer. It would tlke any further action necesss .y to protect the retailer. i

Mrs. Fairciough. moving her amendment. told the chamber she feels the present system of ai- lowing manufacturers to fix re- tail prices is best. But. if the government abolishes that system. she would accept eotsblishment

of fair-trade laws as in alter- native. Suggests Withdrawal Mr. Drew, speaking as the

House agreed to meet again Dec. 27. repeated his suggestion that the government withdraw the legislation until the next session 'or at least not call parliament back until January.

Mr. St. Laurent. both at the house opening and on adoption of his motion, said the govern- ment tiid not want to be ”srbitr- ary" about the matter. If the charnber rose until c. 21. there would be more chs ce for "or- derly? debate on the vital issue of price maintenance.

It was not "reasonable" to ex- pect one house could finish its work before Christmas.

She thought deceased had taken a weak turn and went to a nelghboris to telephone for a doctor. She tried three or four without success so went home again to see if Mrs. Gallant had come out of it.

Mr. Binns told her he thought she was dead so she tried again to get a doctor without success. She then telephoned the City Po- lice to get one for her and the Police patrol arrived within a few lminutcs. They then went and ;came back with Dr. Prowse.

The deceased had not complain- crl of feeling ill while they were drinking Monday and Tuesday. She did not know what brand of hay rum they had and did not know if there were dlffcreni brands. They were just small bottles and she did not know where they came from.
