Feb. 21--(GP)--A com- mittee likely will be established at the forthcoming session of Par- liament to study redistribution of repruentatlon in the Commons on the basis of the 1951 census. Formation of the committee may be forecast. in the speech from the throne to be read at the opening of the session Feb. 28. If the redistribution is undertak- en at this session it probably will mean that no general federal elec- tion will be held before 1953 or early 1954. Life of the present Parliament expires Aug. 25. 1954. Unless the basis of allocation seats is changed.8askatchewan will lose five of its 20 seats in the Com- mons. Manitoba will lose two seats and Nova Scotia one. Brit- ish Columbia will gain four, and Ontario and Quebec two each. Newfoundland. New Brunswick. Prince Edward Island. Alberta and the Yukon will remain unchanged Agriculture Minister Gardiner. M J. Coldwell. C.C.F. leader, and John Diefenbaker. prominent Pro- gressive Conservative. are among Saskatchewan representatives who may have to seek new seats. On the basis of the 1951 census figures this is how the 262 seats in the Commons will be divided in the next Parlitnieni. with existing representation in brackets: Newfoundland s e v c n (seven): Prince Edward Island four ifouri: Nova Scotia 12 (13): New Bruns- wick 10 (101: Quebec '15 (72); 0ii- tnrio 85 (83); Manitoba 14 (161: Saskaiclieuaii 15 1201: Alberta 17 (171; British Columbia 22 (18); Yukon one (one). Commons Standing This is the present standing in the Commons: Liberals 184; Progressive Conser- vatives 45: C.C.F. 13; Social Credit 10: Independent four: Independent liiberal two; vacant four: 262. Representation in the Senate nxed by the British North America Act and will not be affected by the redistribution. Seats in the 102-mcmber upper chamber are di- vided as follows: Newfoundland six; Prince Edward .-. P. in .. 57 Island four: Nevajootia 10; New Brunswick 10; Quebec 24: Ontario :4; Manitoba six: B-h tehawau six; Alberta six and British Co- lumbia six. The Liberals hold '17 or the seats and the Progressive Conservatives eight. There are 17 vacanci -'- in Quebec. four in Ontario, four in New Brunswick and one each in British Columbia, Prince Edward Island and Mani- toba. The formula for distribution of seats in the Commons is set out in the British North America Act. It requires that a redistribution be made after each decennial census. The last redistribution, delayed be- cause of the war. was made up in 1947 and took effect in the general election of 1949. The population of most of the country is used to iind the appro- priate representation for each pro- vince. Yukon is guaranteed a sea: although it has a small popula- tion. The formula also states that no province may have fewer mem- bers in the Commons than it has senators. Prince Edward Island. on the basis of population, would be en- titled to two members in the Com- mons. However. since the Island has four Senate seats. it retains four seats in the Commons as well. For the purpose of fixing repre- sentation Ill the other provinces. the population of Prince Edward Island. the Yukon and the North- west 'I'erritoi'ies and the number of their seats in the Commons are-. subtracted from the figures for the country as a whole. The census figure for the total population was 1-1.009.429. With the populations of Prince Edward Island. ihe Yukon and the North- west Territories subtracted from the total, the remainder is 13,885.- 900. That figure divided by 257 seats-262 lea-I four for P. E. I. and one for the Yukon-Northwest Ter- rfitorles-gives the number of seals to which each province is entitled to in the Commons. A straight division shows that Ontario is entitled to 85 cents. Ouebec 75. Nova Scotla 11. New Brunswick nine. Manitoba 14. Sar- katchewan 15. Alberta. 17. British Columbia '21 and Newfoundland six. These seats added to four for P E. I. and one for the Yukon-N. W. T. would bring representation in the Commons to 259. In order to bring the representa- tion up to the required 262, addit- ional seats are given to provinces with the highest remainders fol- Quickies hh iil ll luilliiiuxiiiuiuuiiin... . hiliiiu 1 a Guardian Want.

For instanc the quotient of 54.- 081 divides 11 times in Nova sco- tia's population of 041.584 and leaves a remainder of 48.243. That remainder is large enough to give the province another seat. British Columbia. nuvfoundland and New Brunswick also qualify for a seat each on the basis of their remain- ders. Saskatchewan was the only pro- vince to show a decrease in pop- ulation in 1951. Its population at 831,729 was 84.264 lower than in 1941. Newfoundland, which joined Confederation in 1949. had a pop- Lrlation 'of 361416 in 1951.

Delaney was returning to his base here after a date Sunday night when he ran into a snow-covered ditch. He couldn't get the car out and dozed off. When he awoke the car was completely buried by Maine's worst snowstorm of the century. Yesterday. Police Chief Howard Macinrland and his son, John, drew a muffled yell from snowy depths they prodded with it pole. They clawed the hard-packed snow away, exposing an auto, and wrenched the door open. Out stepped Delaney, aii.'f-,ioint- ed and blinking but otherwise in good shape after 54 hours of con- finement. The Police Chief and his son said they decided to poloe through the big drift on a hunch. auiiisss liEiI'l'iME Continued from page 10 side Timmy and peoped out. too. Sure enough. there was Kiliy, the Hawk, coming straight toward them. It seemed to them that those keen eyes of his were fix- ed right on them as he drew near. Hurriedly they backed away from the doorway. A moment later. there was a soft thud on the roof overhead, and the sound of claws on wood. Kiliy had lighted there. "What do you suppose he has eoiigie over here for? Do you think,he can know we are living belie?” whispered Mrs. Timmy. Timmy. didn't know, so he shook his head.
