then, didn't thev come through with enough votes to tip the balance? Soc- ial Credit Leader Thompson put the issue frankly when he said that he and his followers would support the government not because they liked the budget but because they disliked more the prospects of an election.

Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and

grants of $2.500. The result is an

estimated surplus of $1.016 for 1965. .

Moreover. as a result of compliance wi

les have been removed to make the fair eligible for a federal grant, which would total $10.500—match- ing the total of the contributions of the three Maritime Provinces plus $1.000 for youth work and $500 in judges’ honorariums. Also. the fair could receive an additional $17,500 from Ottawa in. prize money.

With or without these federal monies the fair will definitely be held this vear; and it is hoped. with public support. that the question of its fut- ure financing will present no serious problems.

When the cheering had subsi- ded, the officials of Expo sharp- ened their pencils to calculate the cost of keeping the flame alight for two years. It would cost, they figured, $17,523 or approximately $1 an hour.

jobs in the government service. A government commission of

enquiry has recommended the

new policy. Its action has, natur- ally. been hotly denounced by the Gaelic League and other bodies dedicated to the revival of the ancient language.

But the government points out that among the Irish people too many capable recruits would ra- ther emigrate to Great Britain or the United States than con- demn themselves to play second fiddle to those able to speak Gaelic.

A government statement has emphasized that it still remains the national objective to restore Irish as the general lancuage of the country. But now the main stress will be on the Gaeltacht, Gaelic- speaking pockets of fish- ermen and small farmers on the West Coast counties of Donegal, Mayo, Galway and Kerry.

These areas have traditional-

fishery subsidies. state radio ands televisi services are required to use Irish where- ever possible.
