OTTAWA, — (Special) — Jchn A. Macdonald, member for Kings and a director of the P. E.I. Plowing Match and Agricul- tural Fair Association for some years, Thursday expressed satis- faction at the recognition-of the association as a Class B fair.

Mr. Macdonald, in who's rid- | ing the fair is held annually at Dundas, said he was pleased the project had been approved by the federal department of agriculture and that it would “give the organization a tre- mendous ‘boost.”’

'House Ponders (Continued from Page 1)

government might do .well in ap- Pointing future committees to follow the procedure at Ottawa, that of naming an Opposition member as chairman. He would like to hear what other members had to say about this.

Premier Matheson asked Dr. Dewar if he Was worried about fire or theft.

Dr. Dewar replied that there were large robberies in other parts of the country and a clever’ crook could soon overcome the disadvantages c@éfered in ‘com- mitting such a robbery in P.E.I. EXPRESSED SURPRISE

Fy’ A. Large (L—Ist. Queens) said it was a matter of surprise to learn that this large amount of money is taken from the vault once a year to the deputy trea- surer’s office when the govern- ment was paying $270 per year for rent of the vault.

He felt it was a loose way of handling such a large sum. He noted that the coupons were clip- ped only once a year and sug- gested that the coupons would yield somewhere in the vicinity of $250,000. a yéar. He said there must be a loss of interest when these coupons were so dealt with because some of them must be clipped after they become due. He felt it was too great a risk to take. ‘

HAD HIS CHANCE

Premier Matheson told Dr. De- war he could have brought his suggestion in regarding the nam- ing of\an opposition member as chairman when the committees were set up. “It wouldn’t mat- ter to me if all the members of the committee were from the Op- position’, he Said.,

The Premier said it was ‘‘most amazing” that the committee's con- form to the very suggestion to which the government had given considerable study during the past year.

He suggested that committee must have been well advised otherwige they could not have brought in the recommendations

they did. THEIR OWN FINDINGS Mr. St. John: “‘These are our

own findings, although.I must say we consulted with \the de-

it would cost y. Province $3,- 184 per year to ¢arry out the re- commendations brought forth in the report.

He explained that the province has a list of all the serial num- bers on the bonds and in case of fire could claim ‘replacement. In the event of theft he said these bonds would be immediately ad- vertised and although it would not be completely impossiblé, it would be most difficult for any- one to cash them.

He further explained that a trust company had been approa- ched regarding the matter and when they inquired into’ the standing of the firm it was found that the company did not have enough assets tq cover the value of the money.

Dr. Dewar: “The Bank of Montreal is worth it’’.

REALIZE RESPONSIBILITY

Premier Matheson said: ‘‘Don’t think that we as members of the government underestimate our responsibility in this matter. I believe the committee was. pres- surized by a member of the staff of the’ provincial treasurer's of- fice who should be clipping the —— instead of drinking cof- ee”.

Mr. St. John said he was glad to hear that the government had started some action on the mat- ter and that they had taken the safeguards as outlined by the Premier. He said he wa& un- aware of ‘this. He was of the un- derstanding that the bank would

“But whether it be $1,800 or $3,000, I think it is worth it to protect five million’, he said. NO* OBJECTION £

The Provincial Treasurer, Mr.

‘MacDonald said he would per-

sonally have no objection to having the member. from 2nd Prince ‘Dr. Dewar) as chair- man of the committee. “I think he would make a very good chairman”.

He explained that the govera- ment had dealt with the matter last summer and had come to the conclusion they were on safe ground. He congratulated the committee on not being back- ward in recommending such pro- cedure.

He said the Bank of Montreal would have to enlarge its build- ing just for this purpose but he realized that other barf$ might be interested. “I am not against the recommendation and if the members of this House are in favor of it, so am I”.

Harvey Douglas said he had been speaking to a banker who told him the bank was prepared to give the coverage suggested for about $1,800. He noted the government is already paying over $200 so that it would act- ually cost under $1,600—‘‘little enough to protect $5 million’’, he thought.

Morley Bell said he thought the expenditure was justified. He said bonds destroyed could be replaced but stolen bonds would be mot difficult to 1e cover.

the Liberal “He claimed the saving he could ef- fect was more than what-the Lib- erals were spending but he soon found out. and now we find him with a billion dollar deficit.’

A LOT TO SHOW

The Second Kings member agreed that the Island' debt was large at 25 million but pointed out that the province had “‘a lot to show for it."

He said the fact that the Island had 5C€1 miles of pavement and almost all of its roads widened to 66 feet was an accomplish- ment worthy of boastsng.

He referred to the many pub- lic buildings which the govern- ment now owns, making parti- cular mention of the Old Post Of- fice which he cla'med had been bought for a song at $15,000. He said the land alone was worth far more than that and the of- fices would bring in a yearly rent) exceeding that figure.

Speaking of rural electrific- ation Mr. Douglas in reply to

‘Bank of Montreal might be wil- ling to make a good deal with the government in view of the fact that the province is - paying them $175,000 in bank overdraft interest.

William Acorn suggested that since more than one bank was interested in keeping the bonds that tenders be called. In this way he felt the government would get the cheapest rate pos- sible. He felt it was*too large an amount to risk a loss. 3

The committee was made up of Mr. St. John, Mr. Large, Dr. Dewar, Harold Smith and George Kitson.

Mr. Douglas had high vraise for .the agricultural icies of the government, m g parti cular mention of the promo: tion profgram and the boar boaus. He was glad to see the govern- trent was cooperating in the artf- ficial breeding program -

FAT STOCK SHOW .

Mention was made by Mr. Douglas of the Fat Stock Show and Sale. He said there were about 100 animals

ed that these animals would net the farmers. about 25 or 30 thou- sand dollars today at the sale.

He was pleased to see that the

4 boys and ‘girls of the 4-H clubs

were taking an important part in this show.

Mr. Douglas said he could not go along with the 4th Queens member who said it cost only 20

oe to produce a dozen eggs. le

sald this doesn’t include the labour. He said a day old chick cost 34 cents and the farmer had to feed the hen for 5 1-2 months before she laid an egg. If all these things were taken into ac- count, he could hardly see how’ a profit of 20 cents a dozen could be realized. HOSPITAL INSURANCE Speaking on hospital insurance, Mr. Douglas felt nobody could afford to stay out of the plan. He said there were very few families who escaped having to go to the hospital at some time. He claim- ed a serious illness at present day rates would soon bankrupt a person.

Dr. Dewar: “The hospitals will
