Accident-ls Tragic End To Fishing Irip

STURGEON FALLS, Ont.. May 22 - (CP) - A three-ton truck carrying 13 farm folk home from a fishing trip smashed against the side of a passenger train at a level-crossing near here early is- day. Six persons were killed and seven injured. '

The impact of the truck hitting the fourth coach went unnoticed by the crew of the ll-car train. travelling at the time through Vcrner. But it rocked the little

Northern Ontario settlement ll miles west of here. The crash killed Mrs. Edward

Cayen, 36, and her son. Herve, 19, and injured her husband and sons Hector and Roger. It killed Mrs. Edouard Forget. 28. and her chil- dren. Robert, 3, and Denise. 5. and sent her husband to hospital with back injuries. It brought death to Julien Cormier. 26, and injury to his wife and his stepson. Gerald. 4. Aso injured was Donat St. Martin.

The occupants of the lruck set out early Sunday from their homes at River Valley, 15 miles north of here. for a fishing party. They were almost home when the truck drove into the Canadian Pa- cific Railway transcontinental train. which was roaring eastward at 60 miles an hour.

One body was flung against a Pullman window. The woman oc- cupant of the berth, awakened by the crash. raised her window blind and. it was reported. fainted when she saw the window drip- vping with blood.

Victor Laberge, reporter for the North Bay Nugget, wrote that he saw "the remnants of six human bodies so torn and so defaced that I imagined I had stepped on a battlefield wheres: bomb had just

Inadequate”

Child Welfare Services Scored In Strong Terms

Lack of facilities both on the Government level and in the pri- vate agency field resulting in "completely inadequate child wel- fare activities" are scored in a survey report to the Charlotte- town Chlldrenis Aid. prepared by Mr. F. R. MacKinnon, director of child welfare for the Province of Nova Scoiia. and submitted at a special meeting of the Society last night.

"I think it a safe statement to make that as far as the care of children is concerned, pibclices are being tolerated and conditions laro being permitted to continue which in other Provinces would 'uot be tolerated for a moment," Mr.A Mscxinnon reports. "The inevitable result is that children who are deserted or neglected or left dependent grow up under conditions which constantly on- danger their lives. both from a health and welfare point of view. and these children in turn per- pcualc the some cycle when they become adults and have chilrlrcn of their own."

Mr. MacKinnon's report. deliv- ered by his assistant director. Mr. George Hart, in the farmer's Ill- aence. goes on to say that "the cost of this neglect is high and Prince Edward island will pay. whether or not the citizens realize this fact or care to admit it."

Apart from the concern evid- eliced by certain members of the Society Mr. Macxinnon states that he detected in most of the persons he tslkod with in the Province, "no great conceit over the lack of child welfare services . . . Most persons raised the question as to whether there was a problem at all, and when any substantial number of persons lake this at- titude it is obvious that there is . . . no proper climate as yet for the establishment of really ade- quate government child welfare services and that somehow such a

Meeting Favors Proposed Aid Society For Province

Candidates Named

1 A report stressing the need of a 'reorganlzecl and revitalized” Children's Aid society and Child Welfare Division of the Provincial Department of Health and Wei- fare was strongly incl-orsed at a special meeting of the Charlotte- town Chilclrcnis Aid Society last evening. and plans were discussed for implementing the provisions of the report as speedily as possible.

Prepared at the Society's request by Mr. F. R. Macxinnon. director of child welfare for the Province of Nova srotia. the report was de- livered in Mr. MacKl.nnoin's ab- sence by his assistant. Mr. George Hart

The report suggests broadening the scope of the operations of Children's Aid Societies in Char- lottetown and Summerside. and changing the name of the organ- ization to that of "the Community and Children's Aid Society of Prince Edward Island.

Two committees or divisions. a Child Welfare Division and a Community Welfare Division. are recommended to be set up under a pneral board. each division work- ing as autonomously as possible. The Child Welfare Division should be managed by two main commit- tees, one located at Charlottetown, the othor at Summerside. and should cover the field, not only of Children's Aid Society activities but family welfare services as well.

The community Welfare Division should, it is proposed, take the place of a Community Welfare

Gardinerliraws Criticism from Opposition Banks

OTTAWA. May 22 --(CP) -

Agriculture Minister Gardiner said today in the Commons the Federal Government would oppose grams to the Provinces earniarked for use exclusively in the field of edu- cation. - Mr. Gardiner. replying to Op- position requests fur greater Fed- eral old to education, said the Government. was not claiming there should be no additional Fed- eral grants to the Provinces. It was claiming that the Feder- al Government should not at. tempt to make grants to the Provinces and then order they be spent on education.

As senior Cabinet Minister in the Chamber at the time. Mr Gardiner outlined the ment's views on 5 private mem- bers resolution urging the Gov- eminent consider means of expand- lng and equalizing educational op- portunities across Canada by fin- ancial grantsito the Provinces.

The resolution was sponsored for the second successive year by R. R: Knight (CCF-Saskatoon) as mem-

membcris business.

The resolutioii drew support from the Progressive Conservative, C. C. F. and Social Credit Parties.

Drew Suggests Scholarships

George Draw. Picgressivc Coli- servative leader. suggested that more Federal assistance possibly could best be provided by extend- ing the number of scholarzfhips available to young Canadians. He urged that ”no strings" be at- tachod to grants to the Provinces for education and that there be no encroachment of provincial rights.

Mr. Knight suggested that only one condition be attached to the grants. The Federal Government should make sure they were being spent an education.
