Winter's lniiial Blast Has Paralyzing Effect ’

By CARMAN SMITH

S'UMMER.SIDE — The first big snowstorm of the winter, yesterday. left 14 inches of snow on the ground in the Summer- side area by 8 pm. an RCAF forecaster said last night.

To make matters worse, gale- force winds. blowing at 60 m.p.h. and gusting to 75. caused heavy drifting bringing all traf- fic at a standstill in the town.

towards midnight and by mom- ing the winds will have abated to 80 m.p.h. gusting to -i5. “Heavy drifting would con- tinue“ he said. '

Two accidents were reported

By DON Macl.EOD

In a “provincial affairs" speech given ‘"ednesday night, Liberal leader A.W. Matheson, stated that one question he in- tends to seek an answer to the forthcoming session of the Legislature will be to find out who to pay for the mainten- ance of the Fathers of Confed- eration Memorial Building.

Noting that the people of Can- ada are paying for its construct- ion, Mr. Matheson would like to know what provisions have been made for the upkeep. “'llhe gov- ernment may know. but we in the opposition have not been in- formed” he said.

Commenting on the makeup of the Civil Service Commission, Mr. Matheson said “when I see jobs advertised, I often wonder what chance a person. other ..-. ...’.-. has to get in

tha " job."

Mr. Matheson said the oppo- sition will wait with interest any proposal the government has in regard to making Prince of Wal- es College a degree- granting university.

releases without approval of the department minister.

Mr. Matheson wondered whe- ther or not the Opposition is wasting its time in asking ques- tions of the government. "The answers." he s d, "are not published: therefore, the public has no way of finding out what is going on."

Illustrations of the type of questions asked were given. "We asked." said Mr. Math- eson, "for the cost of building Sherwood Hospital. It was given as $196,494. We asked’ for a breakdown of costs. It totalle d $154,185. We asked for the cost of building Montgomery Hall. It was given as $930,779. Th a breakdown of costs was giver: as $756,828."

He said that in both cases the breakdown of costs was much less than the total c os t given in answer to opposition questions. “Where did the other money go?" he asked.

Mr. Matheson said that sec-

At the 1962 session of the Leg- islature. tlhe P.E.i. lndusf r i al Corporation was given authority to borrow up to $2,000,000. “to date." said Mr. Matheson, “we have had no report of how this money was disposed of." He said the opposition will do its best to get a report.

Another matter the opposi- tion will want to know a b o u t.

ond sessions of the Legislative Assembly are usually short. ‘‘However.'’ he added, "a number of contentious matters may be introduced at the forth-

coming session and it may be

longer than expected." He sug-

gested some of these matter: may be the liquor control ques- tion and a revised Highway

Traffic Act.
