Development Of

Mr. Lusby said the Maritime provinces are advancing econom- icelly but not at the some pace as other parts of Canada. Federal ac- tion was necessary to enable the east coast to keep within at least hailing distance of the rest of the country.

Previous efforts to assist the Maritimes had been piecemeal and sporadic. There never had been an over-all research and investigation program designed to improve and promote all phases of the economy of the Atlantic provinces.

"Much can be done and every possible step should be taken to alleviate existing economic in- equalities," he said. "I yhould like to see the creation of some per- manent federal body charged with such duties." ' COMBAT UNEMPLOYMENT Mr. Lusby said decentralization of industry would be a good thing in the interests of national de- fence. lt also would prove a strong weapon in combatting or prevenn ing unemployment.

The federal government exerted a potent influence on the industrial life. of Canada. Some scheme of regional allocation of government contracts should be devised as one method of promoting industrializa- tion of the Maritime provcnces.

Mr. Bell said development of the St. Lawrence sesway and natural gas pipelines could have an ad- verse effect on the Maritimes. it was being said that exporters in Central Canada would ship more during the s u m m e r months through the seewsy and less in winter by Maritime ports.

"This situation is alarming to us and we wonder why consideration cannot be given to our appeals." he said.

SOLVE BOTTLENECK

More power would solve the in- dustrial bottleneck of the Atlantic provinces and enable development of newly-discovered mineral re- sources. It would enable the Mari- times to offer hydro-electric power to industries wishing to decentral- ize operations.

Mr. Bell said Canada had in- vested thousands of dollars in transport facilities but had not fol- lowed through with encouragement of domestic and foreign trade.

"It is a well-known fact that the United States government contin- ually is encouraging and advertis- ing the use of its ports. but we seem to have fallen down in that respect."

CCF member Joseph Nose- worthy. one of his party's chief s-, ' esmen on labor. said the fed- eral government should assume responsibility for taking care of 1memPl0yed who are able to work,

Step Towards Adoption Of Belgian Rifle

OTTAWA (CP)-The defence de- partment has taken a long step to- ward adoption of the Belgian FN (Fsbrique Nationals) automatic .300-calibre rifle as the Canadian Arm '1 standard infantry weapon. Co version of production draw- ings of the FN to the inch system from the metric system has been succeasfulbr completed at Canadian Arsenals Limited in Toronto. it was learned Tuesday.

The defence department has also determined that the FN can suc- cessfully be adapted to North American production techniques. All this makes it extremely likely that the FN will replace the Lee- Enfield .303 in the Canadian Army. The next step would be an order to Canadian Arsenals to tool up for !'N production.

Snort Echoes From

, Prince county

We saw last Friday's game at the Charlottetown Forum between Fredericton Capitals , and Charlotte- town lslanders, and as far as we are concerned. the game as far as crowd-pleasing qualities were con- cerned was as good as any we had sccn' in the major hockey of the last new years. "Whats in a name?" certainly suits this situa- tion. Rough play was kept at an absolute minimum. and the boys demonstrated successfully that you can give the cash customers their moneys worth without invading the realm of il5tiCll3S and pitched battles with hockey sticks as weap- am.

Not that we feel gypped when huskies drop their gloves and their game for Ma.rciano's way of mak- ing a living. A rousing brswlsome- times adds something to the festi- vities. although it can very easily be carried too far. But the boys can stick strictly to hockey and make it highly entertaining if they are out there hustling and giving their all, and that what's the Is- lenders and capitals were doing last Friday evening. 0 O 0

Buck Whltlockis hat-trick was worth going a long way over slip- pery roads to see. Each of me three counters were typical whit- lock manoeuvres. The quick and accurately directed flip that fools the goal-tender.

they hook and hold Whitlock when he is in scoring position. , . . .

Scythe owners of the Moncton Hawks says he will take his bail and go home if they don't allow him to pitch for both sides. How childish can those hockey moguls set? This threat to fold the Hawks if Watson isn't allowed to play with them makes one feel that the Moncton heads don't feel too sure of their case. If the matter is dropped because of this childish threat by the Moncton owner, it will encourage such tactics in the future, and turn law and order into a farce as far as Maritime hockey is concerned.

The weather man has put a complete embargo on hockey in all the rural parts of Prince Edward Island. A week or two more of this mild weather, and the teams. if they play at all, will have to get right into the playoffs. They wont

pox-tant hockey, but it will be as fair for one as the other, and by the time the finals roll round. the two top teams may get their ice legs sufficiently to put up a pretty fair exhibition 0 0 :0

The mild weather has put the Alberton curling rink at a serious disadvantage in their participation in the Bummerside curling bon- spiel. but the boys have entered the competition anyway to help it along, and must be congratulated for their good sportsmanship.
