Mr Macliae felt that Mr. Roper in his new position was the right man in the right place.

OTTAWA tspeciall -Tributes to the memory of Senator J.P. Moln- tyre of Motint Stewart whose death occurred on Monday night in Bos- ton were voiced in Parliament on Tuesday by two of his former col- leagues. Senator Elsie lumen of Montague and J. Watson Mac- Naught. MP for Prince and par- liamentsry assistant to Fisheries Minister Sinclair. In honor of the late Senator McIntyre's memory, the flag at the top of the Peace Tower was lowered to half mast in the Senate chamber. Mrs. in- man said:

"Senator McIntyre's death is a distinct loss to the Senate and especially to Prince Edward Is- land whose interests and welfare were so near to his heart. He was one of the "Isiand's" most out- standing citizens - well known throughout the length and breadth of the Province and indeed all over Canada.

Recalling his long association with Senator Mclntyrs in Ottawa. Mr. MacNaught said:

"In the passing of Senator J.P. Mciniyre the island has lost one of its distinguished sons. His death closes a career in business and politics extending over a per- iod of almost half a century.

Police swarmed into the area in response to an alarm but a thor- ough search of restaurants. office buildings. theatres and stores turned up nothing.

Neither McDonald nor Desnoy- ers made a move in the confusion.

MpDonald was quoted as saying to one of his guards: "Man. How did he do it i didn't even notice him."

Sheriff J. . Conover said police wanted Meagher "very badly."

One possible explanation of the ease with which Meagher got loose from the handcuffs came from Don jail governor Hartley Patter- son who said Meagher had "small hands-Just like a w ."

Dr. George Fisher, director of veterinary services said it been an enriching experience to have known and worked with Mr. Roper. He wished him and Mrs. Roper the best for the future.

Mr. S.C. Wright, Deputy Minis- ter of Agriculture spoke of the fine spirit of co-operation that exis- ted between his Department and that of the Federal services.

"There have been a great many young people in this Province who have benefited from his work," said Mr. Wright. "snd his popu- larity could not be better exempli- fied than the fact that he was first choice for Judge at every one of our achievement days held last fall."

Mr. Roper in replying was visi- bly moved by the expressions of appreciation received from his co-workers in the livestock indus- try. He felt he might be of some value to the Ayrshire breeders of P.E.I. in spotting suitable animals for them or in giving advice to herd improvement.

He noted that his territory was large in his new Job but asserted that he did not believe a man on retirement should spend the rest of his days on a park bench. He thought he would spend about five years as fieldman for the Ontario Breeders and then return to the

island for retirement.

CONDUCTED BY PROVINCE "As I indicated in the House of Commons at that time, as a result of discussions among federal and provincial technical and financial officials. it appeared that the pre sent development of the two units at Beechwood could be carried out by the province of New Brunswick without jeopardizing its credit. "Since you exclude for the time being further development at Beechwood and on the Tobique be- cause of lack of firm storage on the Tobique or elsewhere. there does not appear to be any speci- fic item of the New Bninswlck hydro pr o g r a in which would require federal financial assistance at this time."

Mr. Leaags said in the Com- mons that the New Brunswick Electric Power Commission had already prepared to place a con- tract for the turbo-generator and other major equipment for a pro- posed 50.0o0-kilowatt steam plant at Saint John.

New Brunswick had urged that the plant be brought under the fed- eral proposal. As a result the ant would be taken over by No ern Canada Power Commission. fed- eral agency designated to build and operate federally-built power plants and transmission lines in the two provinces.

ACCEPT OFFER

Mr. Lesags said Premiers Finn- ming and Stanfield have accepted the federal offer to provide the capital and operate ants and transmission lines. sub to dis- cussion of details. Both premiers lied urged immediate federal ae- ion.

The minister said the survey. which will be paid for by Ottawa. will determine the best location for the initial plant in the light of future interconnecting lines. It might be advisable that in ordd covering the two provinces the plant should be in Cumberland county instead of Saint John. Mr. Lesage said the cost of the survey will be "quite substantial". However. the funds required

temporary nature.

"ln the circumstances. the eco- nomic advantage of the use of Maritime coal shows every likeli- hood of continuing." he said.

If the first plant was in Cum- berland county it would be because of the prospects of AA ' lug maxi- mum economies through the use of coal there. if it was in Saint John. the object would be to en- ter into arra ements with Mart- time coal pr ucers so that coal might be used on a basis that would produce power at as low a cost as if oil were used.

"I have every confidence that such arrangements can be made." Mr. Isesage said.

Financing of plants and trans- mission linos would be at the fed- eral borrowing rate. Aruortisatloa would be over a 80-year period in the case of plant sand over 40 years for the steel tower high vol- tage interconnection lines. There would have to be agreement with the two provinces with regard to the proposal generally and on spe- cific protects.

Plants would be ope-ated by Northern Canada Power Commis- sion with power sold at cost to the agency designated by the prin- ince. The same cost basis would lsipply to rental of transmission

nes.

Mr. Lesage said provincial power commissions. or in some cases private utilities. will be in a position to buy front Northern Can- ada power commission at a favor abie rate. They would be "expec- ted to see-and l have no doubt they will be anxious to see-that the full benefit goes to the indust- rial or domestic users."

the brunt of the burden is borne by parents. oparticularly the moth- er. the pr lam A A beyond the boundarl-s of home".

"Mentall retarded children have normal fee ngs such as happiness. love. hope. hate and A alousy. just as other children. it is important to utilise to the fullest extent, their capacities for happiness. and their limited capacities for achievement Mrs. .lohnston' said. "This is not too often accomplished due to the mixed feelin of parents re ard- ing their ch ti and the lac of ad uate facilities for their train- ing'.
