Wedding At . Zion- Church

Zion Presbyterian Church was the scene of s very pretty wedding on Thursday October 13 at two pm. o'clock. the church being tastefully dWOPM/od with autumn flowers, when Millicent Josephine youpgmt daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel MacInnls,‘ Peakes Road, was united in the holy bonds of Matrimony with Carl Waldron, younger son of M11 Mid Mrs. H.

The bride who was given in marriage by her father wore a. floor length gown of white slipper satin. with lace yoke and fitted bodice Tho long sleeves came to points over her wrists. Her veil was held in place by a comet of seed pearls. She wore a double strand of pears "id matching earrings and carried a. bouquet of red roses. p

The bride's only attendant. Mrs. Vivian Drake, sister of the groom was attired in a. floor length gown of queen's blue corded taffeta- wilh matching headdress and blue loce mitts. Her only ornament was a locket. She carried a bouquet o! pink roses,

‘The groom was attended by Mr. Alvin Maolnnis. brother of the bride. After the ceremony tho bridal party motored to the home of the bride where a reception was held for immediate relatives and friends. The dining room was decorated with gladolli in autumn shades, the table being centred with a. three tier wedding cake.

They were given a shower at the home of the groom at which a nicely worded address of welcome was read to the bride from Fann- ing Brook, W‘. I.

Prior to her marriage, the bride was a member of the staff of the Island Telephone Co.

REDUCTION! 1N OIL PRICES — Reductions in prices of heating and lighting oils throughout Can- ada are being made by Imperial Oil Limited effective midnight Oct- ober twentieth in order to pass on the benefit of removal of the sales tax on these products. The reductions are as follows: Fur- nace fuel oil 90 cents per gallon. stove oil one cent, kerosene one point thirty cents, lighting imp- iha one point fifty rents, incu- bator oil one point fifty cents, heavy fuel oil, point fifty cents. The sales tax is levied on prices that do not include transportation charges. Accordingly adjustments are necessarily less than eight. per cent of delivered prices to con- sumers. Adjustments will be made the company reports, in cases where consumers are invoiced at former prices during the interval that. in- structions regarding reduced prices are transmitted to the hundreds of sales offices throughout the coun- try. The new prices do not take into account adjustments that will be necessa y to offset increased freight rates that became effective October eleventh. As freight rates vary widely at different points ex- tensive calculations are necessary before adjustments can be,- de- termined for the different points.

liir. iiqsdas Disosssss Parliamentary Affairs

The following radio address by Mr. J. Lester Douglas, Liberal for Qileeili. is scheduled for delivery this evening;

‘Well, here we are taking up in Ottawa those duties we d15- carded a few months ago, 1n some respects it seemed like com. mg back home. but I get s big surprise. When looking over those present on the opening day or Parliament. I realized how few of the members I recognized, strange faces everywhere.

“There are now 272 Membeyg in the House of Commons. Those include seven from Newfound. land and ten others. resulting from redistribution. Upon check. ing the list I found that of those 272 members, only 54 have been as here as long as I, or 1955 than one in five. The fact is there are 93 absolutely new members. This’ is too great a turn-over; ii. takes any new member a considerable time to become familiar with his surroundings in order that he can give effective service to his con- stituency.

“it's the same with any new and unfamiliar duties. i'his l will say, although perhaps l shouldn't, that in my opinion, the pew members in this parliament are of a higher and better aver- age than those elected in 1945. This year they seem more stable, more thoughtful, more ready to accept responsibility. Quite a number o! them have had years of experience in Provincial Legis- latures which helps a lot.

"it does seem strange, how- ever. i0 reflect on the absence of several men who have for many years occupied prominent seats Qn iihc Canadian Parliament. Take my good friend, John R. MacNicoi, a member here constantly since i930. He represented Davenport, Toronto, but his was a bigger con- stituency than Toronto, his inter- est was in all Canada, and right- ly so.

Outsiders Now

"Take also, Rt. Hon. Mackenzie

King. First elected to the House of Commons in _1908 and for twenty-nine years undisputed

leader of the Liberal Party.‘ Take those two men, personal friends but always opposite in politics. The, House looks differently with- out. their rather commanding pre- sence and yet notwithstanding all these years in attendance here. under no circumstances can they enter within the Parliamentary portals today. The newest. young- est, least qualified member may entcr and take l seat without question. But not Mackenzie nor John R. MacNicoi, they must remain on the outside looking in.

"Take also Dr. Beauchesnc. the efficient. Clerk of the House of Commons for almost twenty-five ycars, he was the recognized au- thority on Parliamentary Law; it was he who many times by writ- ten note or whispered \vord set the Speaker right on points of procedure. he had come to seem a living part of the House of Com- mons and yet, he too is shorn of all authority and is no more per- mitted to take his place on the floor of Parliament. However. such is the way of life and such is the way of democracy.

"The new Members from New- foundland are giving a good ac- count of themselves. Several of them have already spoken very acceptably. They are interesting speakers; they feel they have a contribution to make and they desire to make it. Newfoundland brings into Canada 68,000 families; these will all add to Canada's financial outlay. There‘ll be 3,000 more Old Age Pensioners. ihere'll be 72,000 more school clirldrcn, meaning greatly increased family allowances. TherCli be man,v_ other increased expenditures. Add- ed to those is the fact that the indebtedness which the Newfound- land Government. has been carry- ing becomes now part of Canada's national debt. On the other hand, the Federal Government expects to collect at least twenty-five million dollars yearly in taxes, dircct and indirect, from her new province.

Tremendous Assets "Then again there are tremend- ous assets. The mineral wealth of Labrador is regarded by some to have almost fabulous possibilities. that great lone land 110.000 square miles of territory, touching the north-eastern boundary of Que- bec. Newfoundlands possession of that territory was confirmed by a 1027 judgment of the Privy Coun- cil which indicated where the boundary line should be drawn. Those boundaries cannot be chang- ed wlthout consent of the New- foundland Legislature. The judg- ment given by the Privy Coun- cil according to the best legal opionion is forever binding. Ls- brador. with all her undeveloped wealth remains in the possession of Newfoundland and Newfound- land is part of Canada.

first month as during this Session. Some credit must be given to those who arranged. and organ- ized the agenda, as there seems to be a distinct improvement in that regard. But even with that

Jihere is no doubt about it, our

new Prime Minister knows how to get work done Without undue delay. The Opposition, too, has been most co-operative. Mr. Drew's attitude is completely dif- ferent. this Session. He has been reasonable and ststesmanlike in all positions taken and he bu added immeasurably to his stature in tho House.

"The Debate on the Throne Speech was not unduly long this year, despite the fact that many new members wanted to try their oratoricai wings. An amendment, equivalent to a want of confid- ence, was voted down 135 to 50.

Mr. Garson as Minister

"Hon. Mr. Garson. Minister of Justice, is taking a strong part in piloting through the House bills coming under the Depart- ment of Justice. For instance, the abolition of appeals from Can- adian courts to the Privy Coun- cil in London, is a matter of long

standing controversy. The Op- position altitude, apparently a matter of formality more than

anything else, that thepassing of the Bill be delayed for six months,

was not, I would say, seriously considered. "Many farmers, particularly,

will be interested in a bill to na- tionalize the meat packing indus- try, brought in by Alistair Stew- srt of Winnipeg North. This Bill meant that the same mes: pack- ing regulations would apply in every province‘ of Canada. re- gardless of how much difference there might be in the cost of rais- ing live stock. These regulations would be under the supervision of dominion government inspect- ors. The farmer and his family who raised the cattle and hogs would have nothing further to say about it. The discussion was brief and when a votn was taken the Brill got short shrift. Ten mem- bers. only one or two being ‘farm- ers, supported the Biii. Every oth- er member present, regardless of party-one hundred and seventy- two in all-opposed it.

"A wheat agreement was signed recently in Washington by thirty- six importing and five exporting nations, and ratification has al- ready been completed by twenty- seven of them. The exporting na- tions are Canada, the U.S., Aus- tralia, France and Uruguay.

“ls it not a good sign for the world's future when representa- tives of forty-one far flung na- tions csn sit in around the one table, discuss thoroughly a ques- tion of great importance to every one of them, and then unanim- ously decide upon a certain course. International common sense is surely making strides.

Wheat Price Agreement

"Under this buyers and sellers agreement the maximum price for Carnelian wheat for the next crop year was set at $1.50. but the devaluation of the dollar in- creases that figure 10% to 1.88 per bushel. The minimum is $1.65.

"Provision is made for Canada to sell under this agreement two hundred and three million bushels. This does not mean that the im- porting countries are compelled to buy the whole two hundred and three million bushels from Can- ada. That would depend to some extent on the prices at which they could buy flrom the other three exporting countries. but the bal- ance agreed on must eventually be maintained.

"Another point, this agreement among forty-one countries has no reference to Canada's present contract with Britain, under which we are selling another one hun- dred and forty million bushels of wheat at $2.00 par bushel during the present crop year to the Old Country.

"And right here may I refer to another point. upon which there was some doubt; not very much. It was whether the United States, in providing Britain with money under the Marshall Plan, a large part of it being for the buying of wheat, might insist that the wheat thus bought should be United States wheat and.not Canadian. To their lasting credit, the United States insisted on no such sti- pulation. It's a great privilege, a great blessing, to have good neigh- bours, whether in the home town. or intemstionally. It's much the
