A Mr. Bertrand called for tax re- duction, urging cuts in income taxes, postal rates and indirect levies ap- plying to soft drinks and tobacco and the removal of the eight.per. cent sales tax on necessities of life At the same time, family allowances and old age pensions might be ine creased. . He sald that while it was true the government needed money to make ends meet it was equally true that taxpayers needed money to meet their obligations and the higher cost of living, Mr. Fleming said the rise of 21.3 points in the official cost-of-living index during the last year consti. tuted nothing more than "sabotage" on the part of the government He- cause the advance was linked with the administration's policies. Questions Policy Mr. Rowe sald he wondered whe- ther Canada had made commit- ments at the Geneva Trade Confer. ence which would "fashion" the country's subsidy policy, and sug- gested it may be that the govern- ment was restricting the powers of the committee because it did not any the subsidy question discus- sed, . Mr. Probe sald there was an "overwhelming" feeling among the people, who were finding that they had to use more and more of their dollars to get less and less 'of es- sential commodities, that the es. tablishment of a committee woulda do nothing to reduce prices. Mr, Probe said Mr, King In com- pleting an illustrious political car. eer would be "flaunting the will of the people" if he did not act now to solve the cost-of-living problem. 'Mr./Ross contended the, govern- ment was forcing the. farmers to subsidize the rest of Canada and the United Kingdom throughout its system of fixed and depressed prices for farm products. | Mr. Hansell protested against the establishment of a committee whose sole function would be to "protect™ government policy, ahd said he won. dered how the committee could de- termine facts any easier or faster than the able men already in the government's service .

They ap- Budget Surplus Hits Taxpayer Lacasse Asserts Ottawa, Feb. 6 (CP)--Senator Gustave Lacasse (L-Ontario) yes- Minister Mackenzie King that there was going to be a reduction of the federal taxation load which he con- sidered dangerously heavy. Speaking in the throne speech debate, Senator Lacasse said large families on low incomes particu- larly were caught between taxation and the high cost of living, their the large federal budget surplus. There should be taxation exemp- tions for university students in the same way as for nurses training. The system of allowing certain ine comes to be assessed over a three- year period for income tax should be extended to small industries. Senator Lacasse said the interest rate on unpaid taxes was too high, there should be a revision. Prolonged excessive taxes could have serious results, Sky-high tax- ation would bring back bad con- ditions that would lead to a gen- eral economic breakdown. Such a danger was so imminent that the clamor was growing. The govern- ment could not ignore it much long- er, Skating Champ (Continued from Page 1) the big open-air staduim cheered lustily as Barbara Ann skated off. Other Contestants Although point totals and plac. ings were yet to come, it appeared that Jeannette Altwegg of Britain and Eva Pawllk of Austria were 'locked in a duel for the runner-up spot.

Her mother, Mrs. Clyde Scott, chimed in: 'We have no such aspirations." Barbara Ann told reporters that if she was asked to turn profes. sional, her answer would be "I think I. want to stay amateur." "I want to learn to ¢ook." The blonde skating stylist added that so far she has received no professional offers. In winning, Barbara Ann took the Olympic title from European hands for the first time. Norway's Sonja Henie was queen of the ice lanes from 1927 to 1936. The victory, capping the most brilliant post-war career of any figure skater, broke Europe's monopoly on figure-skating events and gave North America a swee of major skating titles at the fift! winter Olympics. Only 24 hours ago, Dick Button of Englewood, N.J., won the men's competition. The Olympic bauble had been Barbara Ann's most cherished am- bition almost from the time she first donned skates at the age of seven. Since then she has become an international celebrity, winning amateur title after title, but she had no chance to take the Olympic title until this year. Nearly Nettled Even then, it appeared for a while that her bid for the Olympic crown might be frustrated, The school figures were wW Sipaned Tuesday and again ednesday because of soft ice, raising the possibility that the competition might, be cancelled. But brisker weather followed Thursday, en- abling the contestants to continue. Miss Merrill, United States champion and one of Barbara Ann's closest rivals earlier in their careers, took the ice 15 minutes after the Canadian girl but fell twice. Barbara Ann's next goal will he which she won for the first time last winter "at Stockholm. The world competition will. be held in mid-February, After her performance Barbara Ann reappeared on the ice arm in arm with Galbraith and went through a routine for photograph- ers, The eyes of the 5,000 spee- tators turned on this 'sideshow even as the next 11 competitors continued the free skating. "I'm so happy, this is what Bar- bara Ann has been working for so long," Mrs. Scott said later. Barbara Ann then joined the conversation. Asked about mar- haven't even thought about it."

"You'd better put this in, Jimmy is 16." Munching chocolate given her by an admirer, Barbara Ann said the ice was "very soft." "I've never been so tired in my life. It's a combination of high al- titude and mushy ice." . Galbraith was enthusiastic. "Brother, it's wonderfull" he shouted. Earlier Galbraith had run inter- ference for Barbara Ann when 200 news photographers converged on her when she left the ice. The free-skating phase of the competition opened at 2:46 p.m. local time. Miss Scott held a 16-point ad- yantage over her nearest competi- tor when the five compulsory fig- ures events were completed yester. day. The judges gave her 858.1 points to 842.1 for Jeannette Alt- wegg of Britain. Suzanne Morrow of Toronto was 10th in the field of 25 and Marilyn Ruth Take 18th.

Gas Trickle (Continued from Page 1) mestic gas consumption, was an. nounced in a joint statement yes. terday by Mayor Arthur Reaume and Ontario Fuel Controller A. R. Crozier. In a few days, the statement said, most plants affected by the short. age can, if they wish, return to some semblance of operation. Bt, it warned, the bulk of West- ern Ontario's unemployed may have to wait for a lengthy alld spell be. fore returning to work-benches, "Supplies are being allocated for use in such a way as to provide maximum employment," the state- ment said. In Windsor it should mean re-employment of between 2,000 and 3,000 men." About 1,500 London workers were expected to return and 100 in Chat. ham and 600 in Sarnia. However, the picture is not so optimistic in gas.short Detroit where 200,000 are idle for an inde. finite period. City authorities yes. terday joined with the Michigan Consolidated Gas Company to op- pose a Union Gas Company of Can- ada petition to the Federal Power Commission at Washington. Union Gas has asked at least par. tial fulfillment of its contract with Panhandle (Texas), calling for 5,- 500,000,000 cubic feet of gas a year to be piped to Western Ontario. Only 35,000,000 have been received in the lost two years. Fuel Controller Crozier said Michigan's protest was to be ex. pected, adding: "It may be years before we can get United States gas, but I believe we will bet some eventually." ANOTHER FALSE ALARM At 11.50 a.m. today, another false alarm reached the Cedar Dale Fire Station from the box at Olive Ave. nue and Ritson Road. A youngster was questioned when firemen ar- rived but he had nothing to say.

Fifty percent of this expendi. ture is received in subsidy from the Ontario government. The $70,000 includes nearly $30,000 for new machinery. On order at present is a new ' maintainer, equipped wiih snowplow and wing which will cost $14,000, also a gravel loader at $8, 000. Delivery was made this week of a new tractor power mower for weed cutting at a cost of $1675.00, - Consider School Areas The council met jointly in the evening with the Continuation School Boards of Claremont and Pickering to work out some agree- ment in regard to proposed enlarg. ed school areas.

The same would be passeq by the township council and preseated to County Council. Such @cticn must be taken at the June session of County Council, it was pointed out, A id areas were to be set up in Hospitalization came in for con. siderable discussion at Monday's meeting, when it was revealed by clerk Lloyd Johnston, that people wi seiigarable income could and ere se township als hospital a 9 2 10.087 "A man could have an income of $2,000 a year and still be indigent," stated Clerk Johnston.

"It's just a holdup," said Coune cillor Frank Disney. "We have no business paying out the taxpayer's money for people, who can well afford to look after themselves," he continued, "It's not right," agreed Deputy- Reeve Dr. N. E, McEwen, "but what can you do?" "I'd fight it," stated Councillor Milt. Burk. The clerk informed council that the chances of winning a court case in such instances was very slim, Receive Damage Claim A communication was received from Harry Newman claiming a damage account of $1560 for a fence on his farm which the town. ship had used in extricating one of their snowplows which became bog« ged down near the Newman farm, Road Supt. claimed that the township men had repaired the fénce satisfactorily, and in addition that extensive damage had been done to the township road at this point by a bulldozer pulling down a hill on the Newman farm. Mr, New~ man disclaimed any such damage, Councillor Frank Disney suggest. ed the the Newman account be paid and a counter account be sent for road damage. However, it was finally agreed that Councillor Clare Balsdon should contact Mr. News man and endeavour to get a settle ment. Relief accounts passed for pay- ment amounted to $270.13. Roal accounts passed totalled $3,736.41, This amount included $1,649 for a carload of lath which will be man- ufactured into snowfence. This amount of lath, it was stated, would make up about 5-miles of fencing. The township has 11 miles of fence in use at present.

In view of the fact that some of the money received came from the Oshawa Community Chest Fund, it was decided to approach the ex= ecutive of that body to see if it would be possible to turn over. the balance on hand, amounting to $2,087.97, to the Canadian Legion Branch to take care of any needs which may arise. Col. R. B. Smith, Rev. H. F. Davidson and Col. Ed. Pearson were named as a commits tee to meet the Chest Fund execye tive. It was pointed out that the Coun= cil started the year with a balance on hand of $3,300.37. During the ear $1,060 was paid to the Legion Dv and of this amount the Legion holds a balance of $588.80, most of its expenses being of an administrative character, It was emphasized that the per- centage of veterans now out of work is practically nil and much of the work once done by the Coun- cil is now handled through the personnel managers in the various plants. Col. R. B. Smith, president of the Council during the past year, said he had not had more than half a dozen cases brought to his atten~ tion during the entire year. It was his feeling that the Council's per- iod of usefulness was past. He expressed his sincere appreciation of the help and co-operation ac- corded him.
