Approval of T h i r d Reading M a r k s Conclusion of One of The Most Stub-

born Battles in Commons During Session.

(Canadian Press)

OTFAW .Ont., July a-The Gov- ernment bill creating s. tariff board now goes to the Senate. To- day the House of Commons. by a majority of 84 votes, defeated an amendment offered t0 the motion for third reading by Right Hm. Mackenzie King and also ncgatived a proposal of Hon. Ernest Lapolnte. former Minister oi Justice, to give the bill the six months’ hoist. Third reading was given without I registered vote, the opposition merely demanding that the bill be recorded as being passed “on divi- lion."

Approval of the third reading for the tariff board bill marks the conclusion of one of the most stub- born btttles which has taken place in the Commons during the present session. Headed by Mr. King, oppo- sition members fought certain fea- tures of the bill as... Iiirt to last. Strongest exception was taken to the section which provided a ten year term of office for members of the board. This section remains unchanged.

OTTAWA July 9—Prorogation of Parliament about the end of next week is now suggested. Lib- eral members in caucus yesterday ex-presed their willingness to wind up the business of. Parliament next week and go home. Whether or not this will be poslsble is problemati- cal. However, if any considerable debate should develop, it is diffi- cult to see how the Hosue can con- clude next week.

Another possible bar to early pro- rogstion lies in the deliberation of the special committee on the Beau- harnois Power Proiect. This com- mittee is just getting dovm to the meat of its inquiry. and it seems unlikely that it will be prepared to report to the House oi Commons next week. The other committees will shortly conclude their work.

Annual Meeting of Canadian Associa- tion Continues- Passing of Amend- ments. '

(Special to the Guardian) The most important matter that came up on Thursday at the Fox Breeders’ meeting in the Agricul- tural Hall, was a motion put by Mr. P. G. Clark and seconded by Mr. Brown of Kensington, that the amendments being passed at this meeting dealing with applications,

registrations and fees be made re-

troactive. This was the outcome of a strong plea by Mr. W. K. Rog- ers, of Charlottetown, that it was at the present time that the ranch- er needed assistance and that if these amendments were going to help the rancher they had to be- come effective at once. Mr. Keri- riedy, of Charlottetown, fully en- dorsed the opinions of Mr. Rogers and others. A member from Salis- bury, N. B., was also in accord with this motion, as he said, in the next twenty years the fur situat- ion may never be iust so critical as it is today.

Another important matter was a resolution passed by a standing vote that those who had not yet made application for the marking of their puppies, that the time would be extended to August 10th at a fee oi $1 for the year 1031 only, providing that it. is passed by the Minister of Agriculture. The previous motion would also be subject to the same authority.

Mr._P. G. Clark made the im- portant statement that heavy leath er and under fur is of far great- er importance today than the silky ness of the fur and he considered that inspectors should pay more attention to what a female can produce in the way of pups with good leather and under fur than whether she comes up to the stand. ard in top fur.

The meeting opened shortly after 10 a. m. with a fair attendance of fox breeders. The time was mks“ up with the discussion of the dir- ectors proposed amendments and Opened with discussion on the last parser-eh of article 19 which on mo tion of Mr. B. W. Robinson was laid over.

JUUUR SALES snow DECLINE nrisgnimn

Decrease Also In Ar- rests For Drunken- ness of Nearly 50 Percent.

FREDERICTON, July iL-The fol- lowing statement has been issued today omcially by R. G. Fulton, Chairman of the New Brunswick Liquor Control Board.

The sales of the New Brunswick Liquor Control Board show a fall- ing off of over $500,000 for the cor- responding period of the previous year. This is accounted for not on- ly by the present depression but by the strict supervision of sales by the various managers throughout the Province. Some months ago the Chief Commissioner of the Board instructed all the branch managers to refuse sales where their judg- ment indicated such action.‘ There is also a. marked decrease in arrests for intoxication. The city police, Saint John and Mone- ton, the two largest centres of the Province, are co-operating splen- didly with the provincial officers, and the result is s. marked im- provement in conditions. Arrests for intoxication are down nearly

The first session of the eighteenth annual convention cf the Prince Edward Island women's Institutes opened in the Prince of Wales Col- lege Hall on Thursday at 10 a.m. The morning session was devoted to the registration of delegates num- bering 35'0- At 12 a.m. the delegates were ‘taken in cars to the Experi- mental Farm where a delicious luncheon was served. In connection with the Women's Institutes, the farmers also held their picnic at the Farm, at which short addresses were given by W. R. Shaw of the Department of Agriculture, Dr. J. A- Clark, Superintendent of the Ex- perimental Farm, Mr. James Ding- well of the Farmer's Ixistltutes and Mrs. William Mutch. President of the Womens Institutes.

The afternoon session opened at 2 p.m. with the President, Mrs. William Mutch in the chair by the singing of “It's a Good Time to Get Acquainted," and repeating the creed in unison. In the absence of Premier Lea, Mr. W. R. Shaw gave the address of welcome on behalf of the Province. He commended the Institutes particularly in the good work along the lines of education, child welfare and public health. The building of the sanatorium was largely due to the initiative of the Women's Institutes. He stressed the need oi continuing this pro- gramme in order to preserve the physical and moral health of the youth oi P. E- I.

Along the lines oi agriculture he advised the promotion of boys and girls, clubs, among the boys to fur- ther their interests ln the growing of better live stock and the girls in farm home-makers clubs.

CHILD WELFARE

In her report on Child Welfare, Mrs. Alliston MacMilian, Provincial Convener, said that the chief work that had been accomplished in the last year was that in connection with the toxoid clinics. In 1028 and 1929 the deaths from diphtheria had been 26 and 2B respectively, whereas in 1930 they had decreased to 4. She commended Dr. Creelman and the Red Cross Staff who car- ried on the work of immunization so successfully.

In over 80 Institutes reported, al- most all have sanitary drinking fountains or a pump installed in the school, also individual drinking cups, wash basins, soap. hot school lunches. translucent widow shades, hyloplated blackboards, and in many cases, extra clothing, nourish- ment and medical attention for needy ones in the district.

In conclusion she hoped that something would be done to com- bat venereal disease, which she was sorry to say was very much on the increase. Some had stated there ls not any in her district, but the statement of the family physician causes amazement.

ELIMINATIUN UFLEVEL 0Rlls_$_|Nll$

Will Occupy Impor- ‘tant Place In Ontar- io’s Unemployment Relief Program‘ This Fall And Win-

ter.

‘ (Special to The Guardian) OTTAWA, “Ont, July 9.—Thc eli- mination of level crossings will oo- cupy an important place in Ontar- io's unemployment relief program this fall and winter. Mr. Henry favors that type of relief work, be- cause it removes a. menace to public life and safety and can be made to provide employment for a largo number of men, and constitutes a smaller burden on the municipality, than most types of relief work. The introduction" of such a program is contingent upon the grade crossing fund being supplemented and some assistance _ given the railways in bearing the heavy financial burden, which they must under current ar- rangements assume in the elimina- tion of level crossings.

Premier rienry instanced a cross- ing elimination at Trenwn, costing approximately $120,000 which thq grade crossing fund supplied $48,000. The county assumed $36,000 and the municipality was only called upon to pay 20 per cent of that, or only, $7,200. He did not think therq would be difllculty in finding pub- lic works which should be proceed- ed with and which could be made to provide considerable work for the unemployed. "A, large part 0i the works proposed last fail and win- ter were never approved or started. They would be available for this fall and winter" he said. So far as the organization of battalions of unem- ployed translents 0r drifters is con- cerned, Premier Henry said that the sugestion had been made to him that this would be one way of solv- ing that problem, but he indicated that nothing has been done yet to put the idea. into, effect.
