Judge H. L. Palmer, at the re- quest‘of chairman Earl Taylor, president of the Charlottetown Board of Trade, read a list of 61 names which hadgbeen suggested in letters. He pointed out that the issue had been first raised by the Historical Society and. brought» to the attention of Ottawa with the full support of . the Board of Trade. —

Correspondence with Ottawa of- ficials indicated that authorities at the Capital would prefer a name with a definite. historical significance-and suggesting that the name ‘Federal Building’ not be used. \,

Pending a permanent solution, the government should take in- ter-1m measures to assist muni- cipal governments. ‘

The brief proposed that this aid should include exemption of municipalities from federal sales tax, an increase in the $300,000 maximum the federal govern- ment allows for individual grade crossing projects, more federal participation in low _renta1 hous- ing and urban redevelopment un- der the National Housing Act, federal participation with the provinces and municipalities in providing modern throughways in cities, and, federal guarantees for, municipal loans.

Many of thoseattending expres- sed their views on the matter and gave reason for their pre- ference. Judge Palmer was strong- ly in favor of use of the word Dominion rather than Federal as expressing more fully the feeling of early Canada. Mrs. B. Earle MacDonald, as representative of the I. O. D. E., strongly urged the word Dominion and was sup- ported by many other groups.

Robert Large pointed out that the name chosen would have to be acceptable historically ~ and also accepted by the public and thought‘ that Dominion satisfied both of these Uclassifications. Mayor J. D. Stewart’and,Major T. E. MacNutt agreed fully.

Britain Has Snow Storm

LONDON (Reuters) Five- foot snowdmifts piled up across western England ;.-.d southern Wales Friday in one of Britain’s worst storms of the winter.

The storr closed roads into -the Scottish Hi-ghlands and hundreds of snowplows were trying to keep major highways op~.n. I

About an inch of snow fellon L_o n d o n but it disappeared quickly. However, weather fore- casters predict more snow for most of Britain today. _

On the Continent, snowfalls were even hes.‘ : and some parts of the Swiss Alps were threatened with avalanches.

Avalanche walrnin-gs also were issued in southwest Germany dur- ing the third day of snowtalls. In Stuttgart, the snow brought traf- fic to a standstill and troops were called -out to help clear the roads. . Heavy snow fell’ on Austria and in many parts of France with Vienna and Paris reporting thick blankets. ,

Fuchs Reaches Depot; 700 Miles To Go

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (Reuters) — British explorer Vivian Fuchs struggled into a New Zealand base 500 miles from the South Pole Friday and pre- pared for the final push in‘ the

first land crossing of the Antarc- tic continent. ’ ‘

The bearded adventurer, racing the winter, took only 14 days to cover "theV500 miles from the pole to Depot 700, but the remaining 700 miles to the coast through dangerous crevasse country is ex- pected to take about 48 days.

Fuchs waited Friday night for the arrival of Sir Edmund I-Iil-' lary, the New Zealand conqueror of Mount Everest, who will guide the British party over the last part of the journey. ,

A blizzard prevented Hillary from flying‘ to Depot 700 Friday but spokesmen at McMurdo

Sound said he may be able to

take off today.

Fuchs has completed two-thirds of his crossing. His main concern now is to avoid the polar winter which begins in March.
