Canada stretching from Victoria to St. John's. Nfld.. today moved closer to becoming a reality. At a. history making meeting in the senate, representatives of Can- ada and Newfoundland gathered to start final arrangements for the 60-year-old island's entry into confederation as s 10th province. The inaugural meeting was con. fined to speeches of welcome and lasted s bare 30 minutes. Acting Prime Minister St. Laurent wel- comed the visiting delegates and Commissioner A. J. Walsh replied on behalf of Newfoundland. At an informal meeting it. was agreed that the two delegations would meet in camera at 4 p.m. AST tomorrow to iron out the procedure to be followed during the balance of the negotiations. March 1 has been set as a tentative date for final consummation of the union. The two speakers at the inaug- ural meeting stressed the signific- anctf of the gathering. Mr. St. Laurent recalled that in the 100i confederation talks and again in 1895 Newfoundlands union with Canada was seriously discussed. "The union. the terms of which we now hope to settle, will be the realization of an old dream," he said. "It is our earnest hope that union will better assure the future safety and welfare of both peoples. Mr. Walsh said the land representatives have come “to carry on discussions snd to settle terms which will. we hope, be mutually acceptable and prove to be mutually advantageous to both countries." He added: “It appears that the great vision of the Fathers of Confederation of a unified Canada extending from the United States of America fa: into the North and from the Paci- fic Ocean far into the waters of the Atlantic n sbout- to be fully realized. "I am sure that these consider- ations will be present in our minds and I feel confident, that as a re- sult of these discussions Newfound- land and her people will find a happy place in this federation." Besides Mr. Walsh. the New- foundlsnd delegation includes F.G. Bradley, J.B. McEvoy, J. R. Small- wood. G. A. Winter and P. Gruchy. A seventh member of the delegat- ion-Chesley Crcsbie-will not sr- rive until he has recovered from injuries suffered in a motor car accident at St. John's Sunday. Seated alongside Mr. St. Laurent were Trade Minister Howe, De- fence Minister Claxton, Finance Minister Abbott. Revenue Minister McCann. Veterans Minister Gregg and External Affairs Minister Pearson.

Talks Open On Terms Of Union For Newfoundland Prof. Blanchard is Honored At P.W.0. Luncheon The staffs of Pflnce of Wales College, Model School and the P. E. Island Libraries tendered a buf- fet luncheon at the’ College last night in honour of Professor J. H. Blanchard who recently retired after 50 years service in the teach- ing profession, 38 of which were spent on the College staff. Dr. G. D. Steel, principal of the College. spoke feelingly of his close friendship and association with Professor Blanchard over a long period of years and testified to the sincerity and the ability of Prof. Blanchard as a teacher. Dr. H. H. Shaw, retired Superin- tendent of Education, who had also been a member of the College staff, supported the remarks of Dr. Steel respecting Prof. Blan- chard‘s ability and expressed the hope he would live many years to enjoy his well-earned rest. As a mark of the esteem in which he was held by the staffs as- sembled, Prof. Blanchard was pre- sented with a matched set of trav- elling bags. The presentation was made by Lieut.-Col. J. W. MacDon- ald of the College staff. Little Theatre Guild Meeting A meeting of the executive of th Charlottetown Little Theatre Gu id was held at the home of the president, Mr. H. Barry Bugden last evening when reports were given by the chairmen of the var- ious committees and general busi- ness for the coming season was discussed. It was decided at the meeting that a full scale membership cam- paign would get underway during the month of October, and it was also announced at the meeting that the year's performances of which there will be five in number will be held in November, December, January, February and March. During the meeting a letter was read by the secretary, Miss Lillian Duchemin, from H. Allen Skinner, honorary director of the Domin- ion Drama Festival, stating that if three plays were presented by the Guild, it might have a sub-reg- ional festival here between Jan- uary 24th and 29th. In connection with this letter it was decided by the executive to enter in the reg- lonal or sub-regional drama fes- tlval.

In March. 1944, they came when he was in the south of France on. s. dangerous mission, and for two months oc- cupied his office. questioning everyone who visited it. All his papers were seized. "But. I had many tricks to cover my activities," Mr. Gay explained. He was ostensibly preparing abook on the history of French journal- ism for the past twenty-five years, and corresponded with s large number of fellow journalists. Many cf them were his collaborators in tile Resistance movement, and they succeeded in communicating their plans to each other in code. It is difficult for Canadians to understand the intricacies of French politics, the Ambassador said. A_crisis followed by a. change of government does not necessar- ily mean a general change in pol- icy, but merely s. re-arrangerneni of the government personnel. "It is not good to have s new govern- ment every few months.” he con- ceded, "but in Fzance that does not imply the upheaval that fol- lows changes of government in Canada, the United States or Great Britain." One reason for this was the close relationships between political families in France. going back over a long period of years. Since he tnok office as Ambass- ador to Canada, there ‘have been four cabinet crises in France. two of them under the Premiership of his own party leader. Seeks Wider Trade On the subject of trade with Canada. Mr. Gay pointed out that France is facing great difficulties financially. Les; year she sold only $1,000,000 of goods to this country. purchasing about 510000.000 worth in return. She is desirous of in- creasing hcr trpde in French wines, dresses, textiles, jewelery, chemi- cal products. medical supplies and other cccnmodities. Her heaviest purchases have been in the form of locomotives, machinery Ind ships of all kinds. ' Canada has helped materially in rebuilding French shippins- which decreased by two million tons dur- ing the war, leaving s balance of only 000,000 tons. Today France's imrnsge is up to the prs-wsr level- On arriving in Canada. Mr. Gay said he conside ed it his first duty to became acquainted with the country by visiting it from coast to coast. He started on a tour of of West snd North sg the beginning cf Augult, and we! emu! 1m- pressed with what he had seen. "Canada is very quickly becom- ing one cf the great nations ofthe world." he said. He foresaw a large increase in population in the years ahead. coupled with further trem- endous developmant as a result of Honmled by Gestapo During the war Mr. Gay's house was raided seventeen times by the the country's new found resources for production of oil snd steel, as well as aluminum. uranium and GENTRAI.

On this subject, he stated: "Members of the Newfoundland delegation are deeply conscious of the changes involved for their country. When it is considered that a complete change for our_people constitutionally, administratively and economically will be involved in adjusting ourselves to a new system, it will be realized how properly the words of the Canadian Prime Minister last year apply to Newfoundland." Photographers’ flood-lights bath- ed the vaulted red chamber in glaring light, flash-bulbs popped and newsreel cameras whirred as Newfoundland and Canadian mem- hers of the conference shook hands at the formal opening. Sole member of the Cabinet committee absent was Fisheries Minister May- hew who had not returned to Ottawa from Victoria. Present on the floor of the House was J. Watson MscNsught, parliamentary assistant to Mr. Mayhew and M. P. for Prince, who for the past two days has been chairman on the preparatory com- mittee for the conference. Repeat- edly ai this committee's sessions, Mr. MacNaught, Newfoundland of- ficials and advisers stressed the paramount importance of their salt cod industry. Among spectators at the confer- ence openlng was Tom Reid, par- liamentary assistant to Revenue Minister McCann and Liberal member for Westminster, B.

Meetings between Newfound- land and Canadian members of the conference will henceforth be held in camera and may occupy some weeks. Young Girl Tells 0f Being Assaulted After Faihcr’s Murder PRINCE GEORGE, B.C., Oct. 6 —- (CP) -- Blonde Louise Mc- Comss, appearing self-possessed beyond her 13 years, told a jury today that Gustav Weigner. 24 indecentxy assaulted her after shooting her father on an Alaska Highway hunting trip. The girl reversed her testimony given at the preliminary hearing of Weigner, salesman from Day- ton, 0., accused of murdering John McComas, 52. a fellow-townsmsn. The green-eyed girl was the Crown's first witness at the assize court irial. Welgner, who told the prelim- inary hearings he shot her father accideni-ly Aug. 9 while hunting squirrels. appeared unconcerned in the prisoner's dock until the girl took the stand. Then he bur- ied his face in his hands. Louise, answering questions of prosecuting attorney P. Wilson. said she was reading in their car while Welgner and her father went into the woods. licsclniiing 0f Tax-free Manse Provision Protected (By The Canadian Press) FALLS, 011i... Oct. 6— Strong protest against Federal sc- tion rescinding the REX-NICO pro- vision on menses was made at the Presbyterian Synod of Montreal and Ottawa here today Under the new provision minis- ters must count as income the rent-free privilege of living in s manse. A resolution of protest will be sent the Department of National Revenue and the eight other Synods of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. _ Rev. A. Ian‘ Burnett, of st. An- drew's Church. Ottalwa, raised the matter in Synod, and Rev. A. R. Ferguson of Pembroke moved the resolution of protest. Mr. Burnett said that the Gov- ernment had exempted menses by issuing directive ac last November, and then within a. year had re- pealed the directive. “This is a matter that we ought to sir." he said. "There is no other relief given us as there is to the other professions, who de- duct operational expenses from income. Next March we will have to d-ip into our pockets and pay up arrears." Mr. Burnett added: "Regarding the Roman catholic Church, I un- derstand that there is no tax paid on the prcsbytery used as a residence by the priest, and some oi’ us feel that there is discrimin- ation against the Protestant Church." uncr-zjllrnv (Continued from Page 1) ber of them come back to the stage and perform again before they could pick out the winners. The amateur contest, which was another highlight of the even-f ing's performance, put on some splendid vocal. musical and dan- cing entertainment before the win- ners were decided. The first prize, which was a return bus ticket to Saint John or Halifax, had to be revised and turned into cash priz- es due to the fact that it ended up in a tie between Leith Sweeney, City, who made a splendid comic vocal selection, and Leona and George Weatherbie, also of Char- lottetown who gave an instrumen- tal melody of exceptional quality on the guitar and violin. The sec- ond prize was won by Mrs. Stanley Newman, New Haven with her fine piano selections, while the third prize went to Newton MacKay, Charlottetown who rendered a fine selection on the mandolin. Other special features in the eve- ning's program was a comedy song by Hugh Trslnor, City, which was well put over and received en- thusiastically by the crowd who rewarded him with hearty ap- plause, while the other specialty feature was the splendid dance music provided during the even- lng by Al Blanchard and his or- chestra. Master Lelth Sweeney also rendered a second vocal selection as an added attraction, which was also greeted with hearty applause from the audience, while Mr. Bill Brown, ‘who made such an excel- lent job of his duties as master of ceremonies, added much to the smoothness of the show and to the nights entertainment. A feature of the show, which was the cause of much comment from. the audience although not actually meant to be a feature at- traction, was the intricate foot- work displayed by some of the contestants in the fiddling com- petition, who at times almost put on a better exhibition than the step-dancers did themselves. The "retriever" puppy which was drawn for at the close evening, was won by a winsome little girl, Fay Edwards of New Wiltshire.

NEW REQITGTIONS (Continued from P!“ 1) June 9, 1900, did not include the word "essence" and “extract". The Act specifically stated that runs brandy, gin, wine, lager beer, a were intoxicating but only banne the sale of other "liquors and drinks or preparations or mixture! capable‘ of human consumption which are intoxicating." Therefor if a witness, subpoenaed under t original Prohibition Act against g person accused of selling intoxi catlng liquor. were to testify bl had purchased from the accused a certain liquor not specifically stat- ed in the Act to be intoxicating. and had not found it intoxicating, the accused was discharged. Later Amendments l i Later, by the 1918 amendments to the Prohibition Act, essences. flavoring extracts, and tinctures were specifically mentioned and their sale in quantities of more than two and a half ounces was prohibited. Even the sale of such essences and extracts in such small quantities was considered an infraction of the Prohibition Act unless the seller had first giv- en notice in writing to the Pro- hibition Commission of his inten- tion to keep such articles for sale. Later amendments to the Pro- hibition Act abolished the sale of. all alcoholic flevouring extracts in 'the Province and only a few months ago the sale of such liquors as "beef, iron and wine" were made illegal. But with the defeat of the Pro- hibition Act, including the Cullen Amendment, cy the electorate on June 28, last, the P. E. Island Tem- perance Act, which did not include the "essence" and "extract" provis- ions of the Prohibition Act. came into force. It was therefore neces- sary, Mr. Haywood said, for Rag- ulaticn No. 9 prohibiting the sale without permit of all extracts or essences containing by volume more than 10 per cent of alcohol, to be issued. The regulation is very inclusive since it prohibits, without permit. the sale of all such essences or ex- tracts whether they be of “a solid, semi-solid, or liquid nature.” The retailer is obliged to keep available for inspection by mem- bers of the Temperance Commis- sion all inforrnatlon respecting the sale of such essences or extracts, including the names of the persona to whom they were sold. neural or (Continued from Page 1) the second member of the newly~ elected Legislature to die since the Ontario election.
