town Baptist. Young People's Un- :on journeyed to Beach Grove to stage their three-act farce “Oh Promise Me" in the Training Cen- tre drill hall’. The performance Wis given with the kind permis- sion of Major A. S. Robertson. Camp Commandant, and Captain Hugh MacLean, camp Salvation Army Officer. was responsible for bringing the show to the troops. The young players did an excellent job in presenting a play that, pro- vided a. great deal of amusement for the large number oi troops present.

All members oi the cast turned in first-rate performances as they portrayed the adventures of young Barry Hollis, a millionaire “play- boy" whose amorous adventures kept him in "hot water" through- out the play until the happy end- ing when he finally eluded various "Bﬂllbdlllkcrs" and found true love in the person cf Ann Pﬁlrber, his butters sister.

EYWQPllQP/lilll’ Good performan- ces were given by Margaret Mac- Ewen who had the part of "Mrs. Linden", and Peter MacDonald in the role of Barry Hollis, with Aleiha Saunders who portrayed the young actress "Ann Furber."

Between the acts Mr. J. L. Mﬂﬁﬁlllﬂy kept the audience en- tertained with his version of Harry Lender's "Bos of the House", the (Ibmvdy number “Behind the Par- lor Door". and the old "Mother Machree."

Stirling Inman. who took the DI-rt of Seth Miller, a lawyer in the play also contributed two solos "Boys oi the King" by Dn- oi-son James and "I'll Walk Ba. side You." Both songs were very well received by the audience.

Capt. MacLean, camp SalvrJ-‘on Army Officer, introduced the Der- formers and at the conclusion of the play thanked the players on behalf of the officers and men of the training centre. After the play a lunch was served in the offi- cer’: Mess for the members of the css .

Mr. McPhee: "This makes the matter worse. It was bad enough when the promoter-who is trying to strike the role of a. strong silent man in the House and is becoming just a silent man, takes this uncom- municative attitude. It. was worse when the Premier supported him But when the law officer of the Crown, who certainly knows the difference, gets up and makes state- ments of this kind. 1t. is entirely inexcusable. This is the only ex- planation given for the introduc- tion oi the hill-that the Govern- ment; has no plan or policy in ze- lation to it, that they have not even discussed it. Yet we find that. last summer they had plans; til-w liad a. definite policy that there was going to be a Ministry ct Reconstruction.

Government ~ “Touchy" On Officials ’ Efforts

To Influence Policies‘

PREMIER JONES WARNS AGAINST REPETITION OF TACTICS ALLEGEDLY EMPLOYED IN SANATORIUM EXTENSION CAMPAIGN

Complaint that undue pressure through government. employees liad been exercised in obtaining government ‘sanction to the San-

.o um scheme was voiced in the Logislatu Wed- nesday by Premier J- Walter

Jones.

Speaking in the budget debate, the Premier said government em- ployees were used to "persuade" the government after the Wo- men's Institutes and other bodies had been lined up. "We in the Government think that the pub- lic should not use our own em- Dlc ees to influence government pol cy," he said. "We are a bit touchy about that, and if the Government employees don't keep out 0f government affairs which

d influence government policies. then they might, find themselves out of a job."

Dr. McMillan: "Do you claim that as political?"

Premier Jones: “I don't think the public has any right to use government employees to influ- ence policies of the government."

Dr. McMillan: "It is right to keep your civil servants cut of politics, too."

Premier Jones: "We do as far as we can. We haven't had any particular complaints about them. I say ‘particular’ complaints."

Ollenlng Remark

In liis opening remarks thc Premier quoted the Opposition leader as complaining that there was “no meat on the Budget"; yet it had taken him four and a half hours to deal with it.

He recalled earlier days when he had taught school at $225 a year, plus a $10 supplement. Lat- er, as head of a grammar school, he received S300 plus $36 supple- ment. He. contrasted this with the salaries now being paid.

.Rieference had been made to a

,newspaper account of his career

published at the time he became Premier, in which it was stated that his family had contributed $m000 to help win an election in 1W7- "I don't think that is to my credit, ausc I was rather against it," Premier Jones said. “But I didn't have much to say in the family at that time. I was more proud of _ $25, given to the hospital, which they didn't mention."

He commended the Minister of Public Welfare (Mr. Hughes) for organizing a health committee which sat regularly and had relief claims investigated by age pensions officials. In all cases where relief money could be Sptfélt properly, it we: went, he sa .

Faiconwood Farm

The Premier commended the work of thc- medical staff at Fal- conwood hospital. The institu- tion, however. lacks a “co-ordina- to contact the management within and without the walls. A more experienced staff at the farm was needed. "There are po- tentialities of some very valuable eattlq there, but we have lot to

That was something which they could not be expected to know in advance. The tests of tho cows liad proved satisfactory. The buildings at Falconwood farm were in poor condition. The Government had been advised to tear them down. They had beer moved under a Conservative re- gime and only one was set on proper foundations. with the re- sult that. thp sills of the other buildings had rotted. The frames were still good, however. and these had been jacked up, new sills placed under them. and they vyere now in fairly good condi- o

If it had been built three feet higher and the whole baseme- t scooped out, and with the model school removed, it would today be adequate for all the needs of technical education. The Government was considering whether to complete tho excava- tion and make four or live more class roams available, I‘. might cost $20,000 or $25,000 to erect accommodation for technical training, bu, these courses mu‘ be provided for.

He had received word from Mr. Thompson at Ottawa that ii‘ in,»- Province cannot provide famine for training soldiers, the ii merit would have to be made Nova Scotizi.
