I didn't hear my hon. friend talk about Co-operatives in his speech, though I heard him talk about the C.C.F.” He added that he rejoiced to see the Labour Government in Britain “get a crack which I be- lieve will finally put it out of ex- istence." However, if the Conser- vatives In Britain should win the next election, that did not mean they will do away with Socialism. ' Neither would the Opposition leader dare to do away with the Federal health and welfare grants, he added.—or even with "the So- cialism we have introduced in our cold storage plants, or in our trade with Newfoundland.” chides Opposition The Preinier chided Dr. Maia- Million for faiiiliru to. move an amendment to the Address in the of his criticisms.

Feb. 20 - (CP)—- The Ncwdoundland Iegig. isture went to the digs today. but only figuratively wanking. Resomces Minister Edwsnd Rus- sell waxed facetious when he dos. oriibed a new dog act. and set mem- DCI I'D ohu_okli.ng M baomslng philosophical about the matter. Purpose of the bill, which passed second reading, was to limit the freedom of the canine kingdom Ind Protect sheep on the Avalon Peninsula. when there are "hun- dreda. perhaps thousand . of dogs." This is ill line with the govern- ment's intention of boosting shegg. raising on the Island. The Minister declared that no dog could be trusted. whether he -be a tiny “oriu:kie"—.o,- poi." or . monster Newfoundland, most of which are noted for their good rwture. A crackle. he said. “may not be able to kill a sheep. But he can send off one of those mysterious ship to shore signals that can bring in investigating committees of dogs of sill sizes." ' "..Bven the addition ii A lic- ence tdg doesn't give a do’ enough dignity to behaive ‘himself.’ Mlr,_ Russell said that for the benefit of St. John's dogs he want- ed to announce they would not be affected by the legisl-ation. He had felt they were looking “askance"n‘. -his briefcase with the not inside. Two other districts on Avalon Peninsula would be unaffected by the bill under the terms of s. prev- ious sct. One of these, ironically is Pouch Cove. pronounced ‘_‘Poooh" Cove. The people of those places already have voted to allow no dogs v.11-istever in their villages. The bill would provide that dogs be kept on leash by day and night. instead of just at night as at present. It would apply equally to all d-oga—not exarnpting the crackles. It. wasn't wise. said the Min- ister, “to assume that at rsigihtfall a dog will 3\ld'di€nlY cancel all Ill)- potntmenis and come hicmie. In any case, we wouldn't care very much if he didn't come horns pro- vided he ¢i.ldn’t massacre sheep." Al Vairdiy (L—-st. John's West) said he regretted that under the new act this city would be "a canine sanctuary" where sheep- kliiing dogs would be protected “vdifh all the majesty of the law." Progressive Conservative Op- position leader John J. Higgins suggested there were some dogs bhsfi are not killers. Premier analiiwiood declared: "We mean business in sheep-raising in Newfoundland. If this policy suc- ceeds on the Avolon it will get wider applicatioci. If it does not succeed much more drastic steps will be taken." "VW can't raise sheep just to provide suocuiien‘ meat for dogs." For purposes of dog legislation, Newifoundiand is divided into three pa.i't.s—th¢ Avalon Peninsula. the remainder of the Island. and now are milder in the northern areas where diogs are used extensively to draw s eds.

Prices have been good with beef and pork products reaching a new record all time high," stated Mr. J. George Mac- Ksy, Liberal member for Iivurth Prince. in the Legislature yesterday in moving the‘ Address in reply to the Throne speech. Mr. MscKay was referring to the work carried on by the Department. of Agriculture during the year. He noted that a swine market for high class breeding stock had been de- veloped in Western Canada and the United States and that the De- partment hsd sponsored a cattle breeders course at Newark, N.J. for young Island breeders. He stated that blood testing of livestock for export is being car- ried on at the new laboratory and that both Provincial and Federal ulturai producers through medium of freight subsidies, floor‘ prices, exploration of new markets, and development of better live-' stock through Junior Club work. "Our farmers are beginning toi realize more and more the need of organized co-operation", he said. _ “Title is being achieved through our Federation of Agriculture which J is increasing in numbers and fast becoming an influential body. Our farmers will not ask for anything unreasonable, but they desire to se- cure for themselves a reasonable return for their products whicii will give them cost of productlnni plus a narrow margin of profit. This would assure them of at least a minimum standard of livlng." Cites Improvements Throughout his speech he dealt. with the various departments. with regard to education, he stated thitt teachers‘ salaries had been in- creased by 100 per cent during ifhe last few years. He pointed out that sceool properties had been vastL‘.' improved, the most noticeable ad- vances being newly painted bulld- ings. modern lighting and heating systems, lmiproved school equip- ment snd ‘ ndscspe surroundings. “Our Government college, Prince of Wales College has had its staff enlarged and has been handling a record enrollment of students" he stated. "Special reference must. be made to our new Vocational School adjacent to Prince of Wales co‘.- lege. This school will fit our boys and girls in many ways to be- come worthy citizens, and make a worthwhile and necessary contrib- ution to their respective commun-~ ities." He stated that the people of Prince Edward Island together with the people of tahe other prov- inces are becoming more health conscious. Various health clinics have been organized and are being made available to the general pub- lic with the result that life ex- pectancy is constantly increasing and infant mortality lowered. "With the aid of Government grants our hospitals in all counties are being enlarged and moderniz- ed. our older people have been provided with a. splendid new home at Beach Grove Farm, and the De- partment: of Health is seeking in every ivny to alleviate suffering and misery." ‘ He referred to the benefits of the Mothers‘ Allowance. a new scheme‘, in this Province. and stated that Federal expenditures in 1946 on social Services alone were nearlyl as great as the total Federal Ex-; pendituree in 1909. He said that this province received it's share through Family Allowances, Old. Age and Blind Pensions. He noted that the Province‘s re- sources and industries under the management of Hon. Eugene Cul-I len are being carefully studied and ' developed. "With Government help,| forst-proof warehouses have been built at strategic points. The cold storage plant built by the Govern- ment. in Charlottetown has been stocked to capacity and has" proved a great boon to the fishing indus- try, dairy producers and fruit growers." Aids to Farmers He stated that reforestation is‘ being encouraged and that new markets for small fruits and veget- ables are being sought. He also noted that modern methods of transportation for fresh fruits. dairy products and fish have been developed with grcnt success. With regard to the Public Works Department, he stated that the people are looking nnd asking for better surfaced roads and openi roads in the winter time. He noted] that special attention had been paid to secondary roads and that much improvement in their con- dition had been done. He stated that new road building equipment had been purchased and a large amount. of employment. given. "This Government has hsdi Prince Edward Island included in the Trans-Canada Highway plan and work on this highway will commence soon. our wharves and bridges are constantly being re- paired and improvements made. All in all our Public Works Depart- ment is the scene of great activity both winter and summer." lie pointed out different changes in the Government and noted the appointments of several Island men to Federal positions.’ TO All) BABY SITTERS I The Manitoba Government intends to crack down on exploitation of baby sitters. Labor Minister Char- les Cireenley told the legislature yesterday his Department had dis- covered cases of baby-sitting agen- cies demanding commissions from employees after they had obtain- ed fuli-time work. The Minister in- troduced a hill to license and reg- ulata employment agencies.

The big machine with its long wing and rapidly revolving pre- -pellet‘ blades demonstrated. its ability to remove snow as it went to work on the deep cut- tings on. the highway. Two trips over the cuttings and the major- ity of the snow was spread over the outer parts of the adjoining fields. The machine is not designed primarily to remove cuttings but to clear the snow after each storm in such a way that there will be no cuttings. This will mean safe clear driving during the winter and will alleviate the blocked iroads which are often caused by minor ground drifts filling plow- ed out cuttings. Travellers on the Western high- way during the afternoon were amazed at blankets of snow which the machine ejected from its wing. Many stopped to watch it work while others followed along behind on. the road. The machine clears the in rapid time. Yesterday in heavy going without chain: it was moving at five miles per hour and officials estimated ,tbat under proper conditions it will proceed at ten m.p.h. The demonstration was arrang- ed by A. Pickard and. Company. agents for these machines. Should the snow remover prove satis- factory it is expected that sev- eral more wings and min engines will be provided for the other Is- land piowii. The machine has a plow on its front which pushes aside a certain amount of snow. This is picked up by the wing on which is the revolving propeller blades turn- ing at a rate between four and five hundred revolution per min- tile.
