"The rapid development of this Department was reflected by the increase in ordinary expenditures from s82,0l9 for the fiscal year ended March 31. 1951 to 3145.116 for the current year ending last night. This was due mainly to the inauguration of a forestry division; development of fisheries; and the rapid expansion of the Farm Im- provement service.

"For the coming fiscal year the proposals call for an expenditure wt s1ao,3s5 - an increase of over 535,000.

"Apart from routine salary in- creases. 38,000 more will be spent on Farm Improvement service, ic., land clearing, drainage. ctc.; 50000 more on fisheries promo- lmn: 310.500 extra on forestry

Expecl -Gdv'i To Announce New Support Program

OTTAWA. March 3!. ---(OP) '- The Federal Government. illuVllii, to avert a crack-up in the cheese market, is expected to announce shortly a new support program for Cheddar, it was learned tonight.

The federal support price, which will range about last year's 23 cents a. pound. will be lower than current demands by producers for a boost of several cents a pound to prevent a plunge by the market.

This was disclosed in informed quarters after announcement in London by the British Food Min- ister, Gwllym Lloyd George, that a shortage of dollars will prevent Britain. for the first time in many years, from purchasing cheese from Canada.

The announcement was received with kcen' disappointment by ot- iawa officials.

the firm of Crockett and Storey, Limited, suddenly passed away ycstcrday in his home at North River Road after a lingering ill- ness. Mr. Crockcti. one of the city's most prominent business men was in his 72nd year.

A native of Cape Traverse. he was the son of the 'lai.e Mr. and Mrs. James Crockett, who was formerly Miss Elizabeth Plntts. In his early youth he was employed at Turner's Store in 0'Le.-fry. and two years later left. for Summer- side where he had been offered in position with R. T. Holman Ltd. Later he was promoicd to the position of manager of the furni- ture department of the Summer- slde firm.

Mr. Crockett was transferred to the Charlottetown branch of I-101- man's Store in 1923 where he later became manager. In 1035 Mr. Crockcit started in business for himself at 175 Queen Street, and ten years later formed the firm of Crockett and Siorcy -Limited with Lt.-Col. J. Frank Storey.

Twice married. Mr. Crockett is survived by his last wife. the former Mrs. Jeanelte MacLeim. His first wife the former Jean Bell, predeceased him by approxi- mately scven years. There is no family of either union.

Angry Debale On Eslimales In Commons

orrsws, March xi .- (clpi .. Charges of "blackmail" were nurl. ed at the government again today

as an angry commons resumed study of last-minute government appropriations for the current fis- cal year. A new year starts tomor- row.

.1. M. Macdonnell (PC - Toronto Greenwood) financial critic for the Progressive Conservative Opposition, accused the cabinet of an "out- rageous attempt" to prevent mem- bers of parliament from "doing their Dlilln bit)" in scrutinizing the l248.000,000 the government is seeking. I

I-fis complaint, made against it background of Liberal iecrs. was a revival of a battle which developed Friday when George Drew, Progres- sive Conservative leader. clashed with government leaders over the late hour at which the estimates were introduced for consideration.

Later, after 5v, hours of slow plodding debate, the estimates were carried, but two late for passage tonight by the senate. The upper chamber waited all evening. then rose at 10:30 P.M. It will consider the appropriations tomorrow.

Mr. Macdonnell suggested the es- timates - the tag-end of govern- ment expenditures for the fiscal year - would have to be passed at "machine-gun" speed, with virt- ually no consideration. if cheques for federal civil servants were to go out on time.

The responsibility for the delay

rest with the government and not with parliament, as Finance Minis- ter Abbott has suggested Friday night. The estimates include auth- orization covering the salaries of some government departments.

In the uproar, Trade Minister Howe suggested Mr. Macdonnell was 'completely out of order" -- the chamber was on an item stealing with civilian war pensions - and that the whole situation was "ab- solutely intolcrable." it was the "greatest breach of rules" he had seen; in his 17 years in the iCovm- mons.
