Premier Asserts

(Continued from page 1) that every Province had a sales tax in force as Mr. Bell had in- timated, the Premier said. Pre- mier Frost had refused to put the Ontario hospital plan on this basis because he felt he would need this added source of revenue at a later date.

“I would have been unfaithful and unfair to the trust the people of the Province had placed in me, had I imposed a provincial sales tax,’ Hon. Mr. Matheson asserted.

There were not too many citiz- ens unable to pay the small pre- mium required, and to those who claimed they could not do so, a strict means test would be ap- plied. .

NO GOOD HERE

Collecting sufficient money to pay for the plan under a sales tax similar to that in effect in Nova Scotia would be impossible, the leader of the government

So many major items such as food, gas, autos, farm equip ment, etc., were exempted under the Nova Scotia Act, applying their plan to this Province would leave nothing worthwhile to tax.

The fact that one small oper- ator could clear as much as $230 on one-quarter of an acre of broccoli indicated now much value the frozen food plant would be in future,‘ the Premier said.

The potato flake industry was just beginning and could mean considerable expansion in this plant, the Premier observed. Re- presentatives of a company en- gaged in this new processing project had already contacted him, he added.

a borderline operation was en- visaged but with the organization operating it tied in with one of the largest distributing organiz- ation in tae United Kingdom, its eventual success was assured. - Some of those complaining about the returns they received, paid too little attention to this vhase of their operations, and hauled too many weeds to the plant, Hon. Mr. Matheson re- marked. The plant was designed to help the small grower rather than the large operator, he ad- ded. It was possible that the fed- eral roads-to-resources program would wind up as a ten-year pro- ject, the Premier observed. In that case the Province’s share this coming year would be only $750,000, instead of the $1,500,000 expected. The provincial agreement was not yet signed and within only seven days remaining. it was not likely to be signed in this fiscal period. OTTAWA BLAMED The delegation of authority from deputy to deputy instead of from minister to mimster as had obtained heretofore, was the cause of much of this mix-up and uncertainty, Hon. Mr. Matheson explained.

Referring to the motion of won-confidence moved earlier in

(PC—2nd. Prince), the Premier said that he could not under- stand how the present budget under consideration could be considered as “partisan, impro- vident, inadequate for education. making improper provision for the hospital innsurance, fail- ing to develop basic industry, or indicating a lack of leadership.” ABORTIVE ATTEMPT

He said that this abortive at- tempt to cast doubt on he gov- ernment was made by Dr. De- war with “tongue in cheek’, and did not indicate his true feelings. The member from O'Leary had done pretty well for a be- ginner in the first three sessions he had attended so it was too bad that he had ruined things during this one, the Premier remarked. On a standing vote, the vote of non-confidence was lost 15-3. During his budget address, the Premier also gave the House an up-to-date summary of the rural electrification program. This will appear in a later issue of this newspaper.

‘Imperial Oil Cuts Gas Price

| TORONTO — +€P}— Gasoline | price cuts at the wholesale level | were announced Tuesday by Im- | perial Oil Limited.

In Newfoundland, the Mari- times, Quebec and the Ottawa valley area of Ontario, the de- crease was one-half cent per gal- lon on all grades.

For the rest of Ontario regular and farm grades dropped 7-10ths if a cent per gallon. The same grades were reduced a half-cent | per gallon in the Prairies and | British Columbia. | An Imperial Oi] spokesman said it would be up to individual service station owners to decide if the reductions are to be passed on to the retail buyer. | Other company officials said | they expect operators will pass jon the reduction to the public.

into deficiency payments may have some advantages, but would raise a number of problems. One is the reaction of importing coun- tries.

Through the system of defi- ciency payments, products would be allowed to find their own mar- ket price, with any fixed losses covered by the government later.

The concern pere is that_the United States, for example, might argue that Canada was in fact subsidizing exports and thus competing unfairly.

If such exports, say of perk, brought complaints from compet- ing \suppliers in the U.S., the re- sult might be new restrictions on Canadian shipments.

Nfld. Loggers Are Eligible For Benefits

OTTAWA (CP)—Workers laid off because of the Newfoundland loggers’ strike have’ been elizible for normal unemployment insur- ance benefits since March 15, La- bor Minister Starr said Tuesday.

However, any disqualification imposed on Newfoundland log- gers for this reason had been lifted as of March 15, when it was learned that the company in- volved was back on normal pro- duction

Toronto Girls Defend Models

TORONTO (CP) — Several To- ronto girls Tuday jumped to the defence of Canadian models after Paris - born Mary Paulyn ac- cused them of being ‘‘awkward, unnatural and unfeminine”’ their posing style.

Joan King, . just back from a modelling assignment in New York, said Canadian and United! States models are more popular | in France than French girls.

Migs Paulyn, who is married with three children and has been in Canada about four years, re- called comments she made some time ago.

“Awkward! Unnatural! Unfem- inine! It’s that abstract trend again,"’ she said. Although she has since become somewhat re- signed to the ‘American idea of fashion posing,”’ ‘she still prefers the sophisticated style of Franse.

Miss King said Parisians liked the sort of “outdoor, homey look.”” The highest paid fashion models in Europe are either Ca- nadian or United States girls, she said.

sion Week Services’ being cur- rently conducted in the First Baptist Church, Charlottetown, was held in the church sanctu- ary last evening, and was led by the pastor, Rev. H. L. Mit- ton. Special groups attending the service included the ‘th Baptist Boy Scout Troop and there leaders, and representa- tives of the Men’s Association

During the service some twenty people gave a _ verbal witness to the fact that they had received Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour, and that they desired to unite with the fellow- ship of the church following baptism. The pastor commend- ed the candidates to the pray- ers of the church, and called upon the church’s Moderator, Walter Baker, to secure the ap- proval and support of the con- gregation in the candidate’s be- half.

Continuing the series of Pas- sion Week meditations based upon the incidents that took place in the Upper Room in Jerusalem on the eve of Christ's death, Mr. Mitton spoke last evening of Jesus’ announcement of the betrayal, and the ques- tion which each disciple put to Him in turn, “Lord, is it 1?”
