Ntid. Stiitens BiII To Force Store Closing

ST. JOHN’S, Nfld. (CP) —- A bill to provide stiffer fines for merchants who break the St. John's Shops Closing Act moved slowly through committee stage in the legislature Friday and now is ready for third reading. . ’

The four Progressive Conserva- tivc opposition ztembers raised objections and introduced several amendments but they were easily defeated by 15 of the 32 Liberals that remained in their seats.

The bill was introduced the last week in January by Premier Smallwood. The‘ move would not have been taken, he said, if “cer- tain outlaws” had not met and “conspired to break the law,” which was passed in 1942 but en- forced for the first time Feb. 1, 1958.

He said if the merchants had gone abotu their plans quietly and opened their stores on Satur- day “without any conspiracy” things would have been better. But the government.‘ would not stand idle while others were out plotting to break the law.

13 STORES CHARGED ,

The law was defied by about 20 large stores and 13 of them have been charged. A decision on the first case is expected Feb. 21.

The premier’s bill would in- crease the fines to $200, $1.000 and $5,000 from the present range of $25 to $100. _

The premier scored the opposi- tion for changing ‘their stand on the matter. They had voted,for the principle of the bill and agreed when it was first introd- uced that stern measures should be taken to see that the law. 1S upheld. Now they were objecting to the severity of the fines.

Funeral Held Of John Bassett

MONTREAL (CP)—In a brief. simple ceremony,’ final tribute was paid Friday to John Bassett. chairman of the board of the Gazette Printing Company, Ltd. Mr. Bassett died Wednesday night in his 73rd year.

About 800 persons attended the funeral service in_the Presbyter- ian Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul. Among them were scores

of friends and business associates ’

-——leading figures from govern- ment, business, finance. educa- tion and the press. I

‘Burial was at Knowlton, in Quebec’s Eastern Townships. The cemetery is near the summer home of the man who, at the time of his dea.th, was chancellor of Bishop’s University at Lennox- ville, Que.‘

At the funeral service the church choir sang/Fight the Good Fight and Dr. R. J. Berlis, pastor of St. Andrew and St. Paul, re- cited passages from Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress.

Myhe funeral cortege was led by

. Bassett’s ,son, John Bassett, publisher of the Toronto Tele- gram.

Honorary pallbearers were: J. W. McConnell, R. H. McMas- ter, Premier Maurice Duplessis, John David Eaton, Grattan 0’Léary, John H. Molson, "James Muir, Gordon R. Ball, N. R. Cramp.

lCurIing Finals V On Unique Window Display

Citizens during the curling fin- als will have an opportunity of obtaining first hand information

on the school boy bonspiel being held at the Sports Arena next week. ‘

Eatons have given over one of their windows for this purpose. A large map of Canada with the home towns of competing teams will be indicated by small elec- tric lights and twice a day the lights will be changed to indicate the wins any team may have.

A white light simply means no games won; a red light on the other hand means a win.

To Appear

The whole setting arranged I3)’ Mr. Blakney of the window_d1s- play staff of Eatons lends itself well to the curling atmosphere which will no doubt prevail in the City throughout the week.

The floor has been laid out to simulate the ice surface of a curl- ing rink. On the walls are the coats of arms of all provinces and the personnel of each team are plainly printed on separate curling stones.

Pictures, trophies and curling medals go to round out the most attractive scene which reflects great credit on the creative ability of the one preparing it.

Heavy ground drifts all day yes- terday hampered the work of the snow plows to open Island high- ways but it was learned from the plow dispatcher’s office in Char- lottetown that they hoped to have mostly all main roads, including clay roads, open by tonight if no new storm or high winds develop- ed

At the directors’ meeting which named Mr. Holman three others were elected to the Island Board: Mr. Clyde MacLaggan, president of the Summerside Board of Trade and Manager of the Bank of Nova Scotia in Sum- merside; Lt.-Col. David Stewart, who this week completed his term of office as Mayor of Char-. lottetown; and Mr. Arnold Wight- man of Montague, who has been prominent

Unanimous Wi

St. Dunstan’s University debat- ing team won a unanimous decis- ion last night over University of New Brunswick Law School in the St. Dunstan’s gymnasium ’ audit- orium. The Saints had the nega- tive of the resolution “That poly- gamy is _more suited to modern social conditions than mono- gamy.”

Members of the winning team were Gil’Collins of Winnipeg and Mary Elaine Trainor of ‘Char- lottetown.

The visiting team members were John Turnbull, Montreal and Howard McConnell, Aylmer, On- tario.

There was sharp criticism from the judges on the choice of sub- ject which they said was unworthy , of this type of debating. I

However K.A. Parker one of the judges, rﬁolmplimented the Mari- time Uni ersities .on the excell- ent standard of their debates in recent years and expressed appre- ciation for the fine type of intel- lectual entertainment St. Dun-

ranged to emphasize the impor- tance that electrical appliances play in the life of t e community.

In keeping with ational Elec- trical Week the scene shows a model hydro plant with lines runn- ing out to a model community, factories etc. ‘

From these are connecting lines to the various types of electrical equipment that are commonly used in the home. It is an‘ object lesson for both young and old told in a very attractive and under-

standable manner.
