Slaughter NoConfidence Motion OITAWA CPA nonconfi dence motion attacking the gov ernments farm marketing poli cies was beaten back in the Commons Tuesday night The combined weight of the Progressive Conservative and Liberal parties defeated the CCFNew Democratic Party mo tion by vote of 149 to The motion from Arnold Peters CCF Timisknmingt charged the government with failure to gch agricultural pro ducers proper and countervail ing power in the market place It specifically criticized the government for failing to take steps to provide for national marketing boards for major farm commodities The non confidence motion was apparently designed to show farmers that they have not lost champion in the CCF New Democratic Party just because Hazen Argue has boltcd the party It was proposed by Arnold Move To Peters former union organilt zer whose father was active in the dairy industry Mr Peters riding is the rich but little known agricultural area near Hailey bury in Northern Ontario The CCF member hinted he may be promoted to the role of the partys farm critic in the Commons but party sourccs said later he was speaking with his tongue in his cheek He contended that farm pro ducers have insufficient market ing power He urged that the boards be organized on commodity basis with defined jurisdiction by regions To set prices the federal gov ernment would bargain on be half of consumers with the mar keting board for price guaran tees for individual commodities These prices would be set with reference to total farm costs and levels of farm income in relation to the rest of the economy and he renegotiated at Change Health Services VANCOUVER CF The medical profession of British Columbia says it is time for complete reorganization of all federal government health services Tied in with this would he transfer of department of vet erans affairs hospitals to the control of local boards and new policy of treating Indians in community general hospitals rather than in Indian hospitals The recommendations were contained in brief presented to the royal commission on health services niesdayrby the 30 Medical Association The brief also dealt with drug costs and promotional meth ods usedr by manufacturers to get doctors to prescribe par ticular brands for patients This has been recurring theme in the AlbertaB12 hear ings of the sevenmember com mission headed by Chief Jus tice Emmett Hall of Saskat chewan The medical association said it is deeply concerned over the waste of time effort and money for which drug prom tion is responsible 1t advocated that the federal food and drug directorate be given facilities to control the quality of dnigs and tighten controls on advertise ments for proprietary medi cines The submission said the fed eral government recently insti tuted form of voluntary pre paid medioal insurance for its employees If the system of voluntary prepaid insurance is the one which the federal government considers to be the best for those persons who work as civil servants the same principles for provision for medical serv ices should be applied to those whom the government holds as its repoosibility the Indians veterans etc We therefore recommend compiete reorganization of all federal government health serv ice to bring them into line with each other and with the med ical care available to the maip body of the citizens of Canada IN NUTSHELL

democracy to believe if is the duty of the government to do what the ma jority of the people want no matter what it is they want It is an error to assume that because enough people ask for indecent

once statesman has been elected it is his duty to lead the people not to follow them Mr Berry denounced the pseudo sophisticates of our time who feel that censorship is immoral He labelled writer Alex Comfort as one of these He quoted from the Listener official organ of the BBC in which Comfort wrote There is no such thing as pornolt graphy there is only matter with sexual cast which some one

fuel tanks and then coupled in space in much the same fash ion as railroad trains are as sembled in marshaling yard These ships will weigh twice as much as the present two ton oneman space capsule and will remain in orbit of week or longer The purpose of the space train program is to train astronauts for future trips around and to the moon Flights by the twoman space craft are scheduled to begin in
