said, “with some arresting

That is why I do not hesitate to offer you these brief descriptions of places and people, knowing in advance that, as members of the Canadian Club, you will accept them not as a lecture on geo- graphy but rather as a friendly report on the progress of neigh- bours.

"Before us we have no pro- gram put forward by the govern- ment consistent with its assur- ances” that it planned to deal with unemployment. »- RELIEF MEASURE
“This is not an unemployment- measure—this is a. relief meas- ure," Mr. Martin said.
J.W. Piokersgill (L-Bonavista- vista-Tlwillingatel said the meas- ure. in effect, extends winter into June.
Seasonal insurance benefits, as originally conceived by the for- mer Liberal administration, had been limited to the heavy winter
gressive C o n s e rvative govern- ment had lengthened the period during which seasonal benefits are paid to a total of seven months from Dec. 1 to the end of June.
He said he doubts the measure will help a great number of un- employed because‘ oiily those who quality through the required number of contributions into the fund would get benefits.
Mr. Winch noted that during Wednesday's debate on the meas- ure, Mr. Starr had said the econ- omic situation is turning upward and that the benefit extension was only a temporary action to
“-He’s either fooling himself or
the public,” Mr. Winch said. If the minister thought things
by June 28—when the extended benefit period will expire—“he’s got another guess coming.” Mr. Starr should have “the decency and courage to face up to the facts.”
WANTS COMPLETE REVISION
Mr. Winch suggested the whole unemployment insurance system should be revised, including an increase in benefit payments and provision of benefits to all unem- ployed as long as necessary.
H. W. Herridge (CCF — Koot- enay West) spoke along the same lines but added an oblique reference to the stature of some of Mr. Diefenba;ker’s Progressive Conservative supporters in the Commons.
“I think the prime minister’s eminence is somewhat emphas- ized by the flatness of the land- scape around him,” he said.
Both Mr. Martin and Arnold Peters (CCF Timiskamiug) were critical of the fa.ct that only those still eligible for seasonal benefits will be helped by the ex- tension. They urged further ac- tion to help those who have used up all their benefits. ,
Murdo Martin (CCF - Tim- mins) expressed concern that the move would put too heavy a drain on the unemployment in- surance fund. Perhaps the gov- ernment should provide the re- quired money from the federal treasury.
Rodolphe Leduc (IL—Gatineau) said it is about time the govern- ment extended unemployment in- surance coverage to farm work- ers. Many unemployed refused to work on farms because they know they cannot obtain insur- ance credits for that type of work.

EIDMUNIDSITON, N.B. (CP) — RCMP said Thursday Johii J. Vollman, Jr., 21, of nearby Ma- dawaska, Me., has been charged with murdering Gaetane Bou- ch-ard, 16, an Edmundston high school student. He was remanded in custody of the RCMP.
The girl’s body, with nine stab wounds in chest and throat, was found early Wednesday in a gravel pit near Edmundston. Vollman, who was to have been marrried Saturday to another girl, was picked up Wednesday night by a Maine detective, Otis La- brie, and turned over to RCMP for questioning.
His remand to the county jail here followed arraignment be- fore County Magistrate A. M. Chamberland T h u r s day after- noon, when the murder charge was read. Authorities were un- derstood to be aiming at May 29 as the date for opening the pre- liminary hearing. '

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia fired its third Sputnik into orbit Thurs- day, a 11/2-ton, cone-shaped mon- ster far heavier than any of the five satellites hitherto launched by man.
In a Kremlin speech taun-ting U.S. science, Premier Khrush- chev implied the West now must come to terms with Moscow, al- though the Soviet Union did not want -to use Sputnik III to “harm humanity or to blackmail the world.”
Khrushchev appeared to be re- ferring to the possible military implications of a rocket powerful enough to propel ponderous Sput- nik III into space. It is more than twice as heavy as Sputnik II, the largest satellite launched previ- ously.
Khrushchev told his audience, which included visiting President Nasser of the United Arab Re- public, he did not want -to belittle U.S. achievements but “it would take a lot of orange-sized sput- niks to compare with ours."

Sputnik III joins three small U.S. satellites and ends a- space famine for Soviet scientists. They have had \no satellite aloft since Sputnik II dipped into the earth’s dense lower atmosphere April 14 and burned out in the Caribbean.
Whirling about the earth once every 106 minutes at a maximum a-ltitude of 1,168 miles, Sputnik III should be visible to the un- aided eye in the rays of the rising and setting sun, an official Tass announcement said.
The rocket that sent it aloft also went into orbit close behind and presumably also will be vis- ible. No information was given on the rocket’s size, but it must have been a big one. Tass said nothing about a living passenger on Sputnik III. Sputnik I-I carried Lalka, the dog.

Six Honored With Degrees
FB.'EDiEIR.'IC‘1‘O~N (GP) —- Four Canad-ians, an American and s Briton received honorary doctor of laws degrees during the Uni- versity of New Brunswick enca- enia here Thursday. Of the re- cipients, three were provincial premiers.
The degrees were conferred upon Premiers Smallwood of Newfoundland, Stanfield of Nova . Scotia and Matheson of Prince Edward Island; British cartoon- ist David Low, who addressed the 207 graduates; J. Herbert Smith, president of the Canadian pany Limited; and Dr. James Stacy Coles, Brunswick, Me., General Electric Com- president of Bowdoin College.
Mr. Low told the graduates cartoonists feel they.are filling the needs of those disinclined to listen to or read news by giving “a makeshift awareness of con- temporary events.” « The cartoonists‘ tools weic allegory, symbolism, distortion, disrespect and irreverence. Car- icature was not the art of. bur- lesque, farce. ridicule or insult nor merely designed to provoke laughter.
“Tutti is truth," said Mr. Low, "even when she wears a red nose and baggy pants.”
The cartoonist, whose draw- ings in the Manchester Guardian have broi\ght him world fame, said that if he had a choice of centuries in which to live he would have picked the 20th.

Nothing was said about the

But orbit time and maximum height are similar to Sputnik II, which approached to within 150 miles of earth and was in orbit 51/2 months. The Sputnik’s announced angle from the plane of the equator means it will cover most of the inhabited areas of the earth.
