Defends Sancellation 0f Power Contracts

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wile) TORONTO, March sir-The On- tario Government's action in can- celling power contracts with Que- bec compenies was 81199011911 by Mayor M. M. Machrlde, Independ- ent member for Brantford, in his budget debate speech today in the Ontario Ins’ ‘stuns.

Mr. MacBride doubted that On- tarirvs credit had been affected on the (onclon market. Of the prov- ince's total debt, only $14,000,000 was payable in London in pounds sterling, he said, and "we have not been borrowing in London for years."

He suggested the debt burden could be lightened if provisions were incorporated in all provincial issues that they were callable at the pleasure oi the adminis- tration. That would make it pos- sible to take advantage of low in- terest rates .

(By Thomas T. Champion. Canad- ian Press Staff Writer)

It came when Carmen Swan, 32- yeax-oid widow of a. bank clerk, pleaded guilty to the murder of he!" eight-year-oid daughter. She was sentenced to death.

Mrs. Swan's counsel told a. har- rowing story oi her life.

She discovered her mother-in- law was in an insane asylum. Her husband had twice tried to kill the condemned woman and finally hanged himself on his child's birth- day.

Mrs. Swan found she was in an advanced state oi tuberculosis and wondered ‘whether her daughter would develop insanity or contract tuberculosis. She killed the child with a sleeping draught and illiun- inating gas.

Mr. Justice Hawlce said: ‘Nobody could fail to be moved by the story. It will be for others to decide your future." ,

(The Home Secretary has power to remit. the death sentence.)

The retiring president, Mr. W. J. Cudmore, gave the meeting an out- line of the poultry show held in Charlottetown during Farmers’ Week. He stated that owing to the uncertainty of financial assistance the show was much smaller this ymr than it had been formerly, but stated that he hoped the usual amount of assistance would be sup- plied for the next show.

He suggested that more of the poultry men throughout the pro- vince and. also the “back yard" poultry men interest themselves in the Association as the membership fee was extremely nominal and no other financial call was made on members.

Under the heading onnew busi- ness matters pertaining to the ex- tension of the membership of the Association, and the establishing of an exchange for breeding stock, were u ussed. It was also suggested that a. prominent poultry man be engaged to address the regular monthly meetings of the organiza- tion on matters pertaining to breed- ing and poultry diseases.
