5iscus—shn_0—n__ Second Readings

Family allowances are not barred in the case of illegitimate child- ren, and if such children are be- ing supported by an agency in an orphanage, the family allowances will go to the agency in question, Hon, A. W. Matheson, Minister of Health and Welfare, stated in the Legislature yesterday.

Speaking during committee read- ing of the Adoption Act, the Minia- ter was replying to a question raised by Hon. Dr. Maclvlllian, leader of the Opposition, as to why family allowances were not paid in the case of all illegitimate children. Mr. Matheecn emphasized that illegitimate children should proper- ly be adopted, and not placed in

orphanages, but the family allow- ances ‘applicable in the former can apply also to the latter where a person or agency assumes re- aponsiblllty for support in an or-

ip phanage.

Dr. MacMlilan maintained that orphanages should draw family allowances for all illegitimate children in their charge, as did also Mr. Seville and other speak- are.

Mr. R. E. Bell and the Opposi- tion leader spoke in support of the work being done by the two or- phansges in the Province, Mr. Bell suggesting that the members should visit these institutions. He also llrgcd upon childless families in comfortable circumstances the advantage of adopting orphaned children.

Veterinary Assistance

MONTREAL, March 15 -— (CP) —- '.l'hree men were arraigned in Criminal Court today today charg- ed with heating up 43-year-old Charles Edouard Roy, with strip- ping h.i~rn, painting him with red metallic paint and then subject- ing him to considera'ble heat in a baking oven.

specifically the charge against Richard Nantel, 25; Jean Pageau, 23, and Jean Rochon, 5. ws "in- juring with intent to inflict griev- ous bodily harm."

Two others, not identified by police. were held at heath 4.»... pending decision as to whether changes will be laid against them in the alleged assault which Roy. the -slightly-built fatifet of seven children, said took place last Monday.

In swearing out wanrenis for the arrest of the five. Roy said his brother. Alphonse. also was sub- jected to the heat treatment. Po- lice said their invutlgatlon led them to believe that Alphonse had not taken as bad a beating as his brother, Charles, apparently be- cause his attackers were frighten- eld after viewing Charles’ condi- tlon.

Charles told police he was lured to a mid-town Montreal building and accused of having made tele- phone calla which were interfer- ring with the married life of one of his attackers. He said the men attacked him at the bidding of their boss. But he denied all connection with the alleged tele- phone calls.

He said he had been toaed into a 180-degree, 10-«by-six-foot bake oven such as is used for hardening newly-applied paint.

He told police he was held carp,- tive there for eight minutes in the course of a three—hour ordeal.

Police said medical examina- tion showed Roy had definitely been the subject of attack. He was considerably bruised.

Roy's story was that he was lured to a St. James Street build- ing and then asked to come into a back room on the promise of a good proposition which turned out to be punches and kicks. ,_

His brother. Alphonse, works in the premises where the alleged assault took place. Alphonse said he was placed in the heart cham- ber and after a few minutes re- covercd consciousness to find him- self half in, half out of the heat room.

When the assault was over. Charles Roy said. he was placed in 3 car and driven to Place D’Armes Square, in mid-down- town Montreal and released there. He made his way home "because I was sick."

Launching into the Throne- Spoecis debate, Dr. Drew charged the Government was "stalling" on election promises in its move to set up a committee on old-age security and then swung back to the ill-starred illdii Domin.lcn~Pro- vlncial conference.

He then swung at Agriculture Minister Gardiner. absent from the chamber, and charged that he had sought to make a "political platform" of the Commons the other day when he reread to the chamber a “oheaip. political tub- thumping" speech which the Min- lster had broadcast in last year's election campaign.
