Mr. Saville said pavement was needed in several thickly pop- ulated areas of his district, in- cluding Cambridge, Gaspereaux and Murray Harbour North.

ment. He said the “Diefenbaker Pie” was not only half filled but it had a distinctive political flav- our. He disapproved of the method of distributing the Atlan-

to give a lot of money to four sons, I wouldn’t throw it at them
' and let the big fellows get it all
from the little fellows.” TRADE POLICIES
He said the Diefenbaker Gov- ernment through its trade policies was making “bad friends" with the United States. He felt this would be a bad thing to do, not- ing that the U.S.A.'is “one of our best customers.”
ployment insurance, Mr. Douglas said it had been instituted by the Liberals and today was amount- ing to about a million dollars a year to Island fishermen. “That’s about half as much as the Dief- enbaker Pie and it's going direct- ly into the pockets of the people,” he said.
i In regarding municipal grants, iMr. Douglas said there was no I doubt that some of the towns and . villages needed help but caution-
