The issue cf constitutional study has been st times a bitter one between the Nova Scotla Liberal leader and the ment at Ottawa.

Alter the last Dominion-Provin- cial conference. Mr. Macdonald said Ottawa hadn't; heard the last "of my bonnets and mo" on this ques- tion. "The logicol way to attack the problem of Dominion-Provin- cial relations ls to make constitu- tional chanizes first and taxation arrangements afterward." he said in a Muy, 1947, speech.

At that time he announced his willingness to sign an agreement with Ottawa but he made it clear it was purely a financial agree- iment. There remained the whole

problem of a revision of the con- | stitution in the light of the experi- ‘ence of the 8O years and in the 'light of Canada’; identity as a federal state. “This revision", ho said, "can only be made atla gen- eral conference between the Do- minion iind the provinces, and such s conference should be held with- out delay."

The market in P._E.I. especially tor eggs due to local fluctuations in price has been difficult to report accurately, states Mr. F. M. Nash. supervising poultry products in- spector. The changes in quotations whether up or down have been so rapid at times that buyers and re- tailers have been unable to adjust their prices to bring thaminto lin‘: as quickly as desired.

Tc the writer. the market in gen- eral in the Maritlmes has been steadler than one has been led to believe. Under the circumstances. about sll one can do in drawing up s market report is to give a. reflect- ion oi the market at tho time of writing.

In the last day. local dealers have advanced prices two cents a dozen on the higher grades and are now quoting producers for ungrsded eggs AL 6M. AM 60-2. AP 30. B 40. C 20. Country grading stations. if they have not already done so, will likely increase prices shortly.

Anglicanf Bishops Veto Proposed Changes In Church Marriage Laws

By Rae Corelli ~ HALIFAX, Sept. 15 -_— (CP) _ The Upper House of the 17th Gen. ersl Synod of the Church of Eng- land in Canada tonight vetoed [we

proposed amendments tn the Church's marriage laws. One motion, passed earlier by

the Lower Chamber, would have permitted the “innocent party" to a divorce to re-marry and keep all Church sacraments.

The Upper Hfluse also decided ll! fl-mflrrlflge laws would not be widened to cover divorce anti dis- solution. This means the only DHSOM who now can be re-mor- ried under Church law are those whole previoiti marriages have been nullified by a civil court. The amendment was introduced Tllfildly by Mr. Justice W. H. Har. rlson of Saint John, N. B. It still "ll be brlllliht forward at the next General Synod in three years.

The resolution would have per- mitted thc K's-marriage of persons Where a civil court had adjudged their Previous separation either divorce or dissolution. But the re-marrloge would only Iie recog- nized if the Church could estab- lish the first union a; null and void.

This would be based on nullify- lng factors present at the time of the original marriage such as bigamy, consanguinity or because one of the parties was under-age. These factors would not include. for instance, adultery which is a ground for divorce and occurs after the marriage.

The Upper House concurred in the motion but qualified their de- cision with deletions which left the resolution fundamentally the same as the old lew.

The Diocese of Calgary intro- duced the motion on marriage which would set up a Church court to decide which-if either- was the "innocent party" to a divorce. -

Before the Bishops’ decision, the Lower House voted to retain its marriage and divorce commission to study "all aspects" of the issue and "to consider the trends in Anglican thought throughout the world."

The commission would report- subject to approval by the Upper House-its findings and recom- mendations "as to the re-marriage of divorced persons" at the next General Synod. y

The Lower House also voted to relieve clergy who hail served in missionary areas for “at least four years" and transfer them to par- ishes nearer civilization, They would be replaced by younger min- isters.

Supporters of the motion said this action would combat “spir- itual bankruptcy" and an oppres- sing feeling of isolation. Tl-iesc and other reactions hindered the work of the Church in_ remote areas by discouraging ministers and forcing them to seek jobs in the United States for new oppor- tunity.

Other developments today:

1. Transfer of Temlskamin; County, OnL. to the Diocese of Mcosonee. It formerly was part of the Diocese of Montreal.
