electrification in recent years. In lil31 the Maritime Electric Com- pany had .115 rural customers. In the next 10 years the total had risen in 1941 to 935 and last year had soared 4.960.

These figures. he maintained. showed there was no lack of rural electrification in Hill: Province. The cost. was higher because I: was a matter of power. there are no rivers here capable of furnish- ing energy for even a small village and the power used had to come from coal and Ni.

High Tension Line

The Premier said the high tens- ion line from here to Summerside now nearing completion was what was needed. It was the backbone of rural electrification and "feed- ers" could go out from if to slip- ply more users. He said the com- pany had expanded as fast as men and equipment could be obtained.

If the Govemment took over operation of the Maritime Electric Company. he said. they vvouldsave approximately 3100.000 per year in taxes it would not have to pay. but it would probably lose it in operations. He thought it better for the Government to keep out of it. "Otherwise every time there was an election every farmer on a load would demand electricity or rcfuse to vote for us." Asked by Mr. Bell if he were scared to risk that. the Premier said he. would not like to rilli an election again under those conditions. Mr. Bell interiecied a remark that the Maritime Electric Company would lake 3100.000 more from rural users this year than last.

He thought. though. that the big- gest ini-provemelit might come if in their own districts to vote and there were tlo dual representation. There should be only one representative to a district. he said. on that basis it would have to he a franchise vote. In this connection he gave a short review of the history of the pres- ent system of councillor votes. This he said dated from efforts

were proposed as a compromise

the system would only be in oper-l atlon for a few years. but it was. still going after 60 years. He saldi it was time for a change and he hoped the Legislature would look! into it this year. i

The Premier paid a high tribute to his late Majesty King George Sixth.

He said that when the corner- stone of the Provincial Building was laid in mo the wish was ex- pressed that the halls which would rise above that stone should re- sound with loyal expressions. lle added that in his time in the As- sembly he had heard nothing else but loyal expressions.

He remarked that King George had achieved the respect and ad- miration of a large part of ihc world through his calmness and his exemplary life. He had gone through one of the most. difficult periods in history and his death had come as a cruel blow just when people thought he was re- covering from an operation. The Premier also said that when the King could not go where he had promised he had sent the heir ap- parent who is now Queen Eliza- beth second.

In her and her family people were finding the stability of the Crown which they wanted. The succession was assured through her children and that in itself lent stability. The Queen's tradition of service, learned from her father. and the other qualities she pos- sesses make for a magnificent fut- ure and under her the Empire should rise to its folmcr heights. "1 -have a feeling she is going to be the greatest Sovereign we have ever had." he said.

Premier Jones was still speaking when the Lecislaturc adjourned at 6.00 p. in. He will resume the dgbate when it meets again at 3 p. m. Monday.

-N. Debate On -Address

Continued from page 5 rising in price from day to day. That condition was alright when prices were good bilt it is bad when farmers are experiencing a slump such as they are facing today.

He noted that. many hog breed- ers were shipping their breedinit sows and are not even getting a fair price for them.

Mr. Bell said that. The Matthew Wells Company here was seeking to obtain even greater acreage for cucumbers this year and were of- fering growers a disease free IECtI uhich had been recently developed in the United States. However. they were pessimistic about lncrraslng the acreage as farmers were plan- ning on going back to growing more potatoes feeling there was more. profit and less work.

Suggests Poaslbllltiea

The leader of the Opposition sug- gested that the Government in- vestigate the possibility of emb- llnhing a plant here to process Island milk, either as powdered milk or condensed milk. He said that month by mollth and year by year there was more condensed milk being used in the Province. The proposed plant could use In- land milk to replace the huge quan- tity being imported. He said there was a general slackening in dairy farming all across Canada and that the number of dairy cattle now was the lowest in 20 years and this despite a rise in population of 2i; millions.

He spoke again of the plan to give financial aid to young farm- ers which he brought before the Legislature in other years. He thought such a plan would enable the Province to keep at home many of the young farmers who were leaving for the industrial provin- ces. Mr. Bell criticized the Federal

route.

the only real industry in the sea- side province! and it should be pushed along by govemmglta.

Transportation . .

Referring to tranaportati . he said he was averse to loot g rail transportation on the Island and thought any change should be ap- proached carefully. He insisted that if inroads by buuea and trucks op- erated by the Canadian National Railways were to be made. the Legislature should be careful to see that the people had a contract which would not be prejudicial to the Province in later years.

our tourist business had long been hampered by poor roads and the dust nuisance with many visit- ors refusing to return because of them. He said the business was a great revenue producer but having some of the main roads under re- pair ali summer long did not help it any. Perhaps it was because of t.hls, he said. that the Government had decided to go along with Fed- eral authoritles on the Trans Can- ada Highway.

Howavar. he did not think tour- lsts would be satisfied just to trav- el on that highway from Borden to Wood Islands. For that reason he was fearful of the cost of the" road and also due to the leader of the government maintaining sec- recy about the coet and the exact

with reference to ferry services he spoke of the new causeway to be built between the Nova Bcotla mainland and Cape Breton and said we had a big market in that section. so far as the Northumb- crland Ferries was concerned he said traffic was increasing all the lime and referred to the Speech from the Throne in 1950 which stated that the service provided was inadequate and bigger and better boats were needed.

"Perhaps it should be taken over by the Federal Government or the Canadian National Railways and improved", he remarked in noting that its present owners had done a good job with the facilities avail- able. He said that perhaps they did not have the capital needed for expansion of the nature rc- quired.

New Tax Agreement

On the subject nf the new flittin- t-ial agreement between this Prov- ince and the Federal Government. hc said it was possibly the most important item for consideiatlou to come before the Assembly since Confederation. He said the fin- ancial record under past agree- ments had not been good and maintained we should be grtting

and other projects. t

Premier Jones remarked that the debaters of Saint Dunatan'a had done a good job for a small univ- ersity and Prince of Wales College was considered one of the best sec- ond-clasa colleges in Canada.

Mr. Bell replied that saint Dun- stan's was a great institution but no thanks for that was due the Government as they had always financed themselves. He said Nova scotla had modern schools instead of the 70-year-old ones pupils in this city had to attend.

A vote; from the Government side said that the same schools had seen their teachers on strike and Mr. Bell remarked that per- haps the only reason for the pro- posed increased salaries to teach- ers here was the fear of similar action.

He briefly touched on the ap- parent high cost of financing when the Province lost 8100.000 on its recent borrowing deal in New York and then had to pay Hf: interest on the bond issue.

Snowplow Equipment

4!Mr. Bell insisted that the mow removal equipment of this Prav- lnce was entirely inadequate. but Hon. Dougald Mscxinnon. Minia- ter of Public Works and Highways, thought it was the best in Canada. Mr. Bell said it was not good enough as shown by the kind of winter we had to face and stated that Nova Scotia had all her main highways opened within a day or two after the storms. He said we should get. additional money from Ottawa to buy real Mn” t

Dealing with education the speaker offered his congratulations to the debaters of Saint Dunstans and said it was all the more re- markable when it was considered that S. D. U. was a relatively amall college from a small city. He thought it an excellent idea that tho young people should take up public speaking and debatlni.

He thought the most serious condition we faced here was in the number of teachers teaching on permits or being recalled to service after it lapse of possibly many years. He did not think thu was a good thing for the Province and said we should be training enough teachers in Prince of Wales College to fill the positions. But. hr. added. many of those who were trained as teachers soon discovered they could make more money its other walks of life and left the profession.

Mr. Bell briefly referred to var- ious pensions and to the lack of defencc contracts here where many small companies could be estab- lislled for specific operations such
