PAY PROMISED
Teachers’ supplements will be paid by the government if the Progressive Conservative party is succezsful in the coming election, W. R. Shaw said in a speech here tast night.
Traditionally supplements have been paid by the school district concerned and as such they come out of the tax- ation revenue which is col- lected’ each year. “Salaries” as such are paid by the gov- ernment and are separate from the supplements.
In Charlottetown and Sum- merside the supplements are paid by the municipality but they come oue of general tax

Since that time, Mr. Matheson said five new portfolios have been created by the Liberals. These were Health, Welfare and Labour, Industry and Resources and Fisheries. He sa‘d there are now nine ministers and wonder- ed how far a 30 member legis- lature could go in appointing new Ministers.

Lt.Col. William H. Rankin, 39, recounted his story Friday to the Associated Press. He is recover- ing in hospital while doctors study his reactions to what may have been the highest - altitude para- chute jump ever made.
On the night of July 26 Rankin was on a high - altitude naviga- tion flight. His F-8U Crusader fighter's engine suddenly stopped, for unknown reasons, while he was in a gentle climb at 47,00 feet.
