But Eisenhower also said that ‘I am not going to push and press #,”’ and ‘if he doesn’t want to, that is that.” _Much of the pushing and pres- sing has come from members of Congress.

Although this was the fourth time he had visited the Province, it was the first chance he had of really seeing the country and meeting the people. He had motored through Covehead, Brackley Point, Eldon and Fiat River and was impressed by what he saw.

WIDOWS PENSIONS Pensions to widows without means and to unmarried women in the same category will be made available, the Premier promised. He noted that such persons may now receive-a pen- sion at 65 on evidence revealed yy a means test and at 70 they are of course eligible for the rational old age pension. The proposed new legislation would give women a pension five years sooner than they have hitherto received it. The old age assistance granted between 63> 70 is shared on a 530-50 basis with the federal government but the pensions paid to women between 60-65 would be paid directly out of provincial revenue, he said.
