For Two Services R» : | 2 ture budget address. Toronto, April 2 (CP)--Ontarlo expects to spend some $4,500,000 more on health and welfare in the new fiscal gear, Provincial Treasurer Frost said today in the Legisla- Public welfare estimates are $16,934,519 compared with $14,000,000 in the year ended March® 31, 1948, while health estimates of $21,901,600 compare with $20,222,000 ' last year. Mr. Frost emphasized that the figure did not contain the amount to be raised under the amusement tax recently passed by the province to go into effect when the dominion vacates the field. Revenue from the 20 per cent tax will all go into a special health development fund and thus forms no part of the province's revenue, Mr, Frost said. Expenditures for old age pen- sions were rapidly increasing as a result of the province entering into agreement with the dominion to provide greater monthly pensions and because a person could qualify for pensions with larger outside in- come than hitherto. In 1943 there were 57,692 old age pensioners in Ontario costing the province $3,500,000. Last year .there were 70,859 pensioners and cost was more than $7,000,000. New pension applications were being received at the rate of from 1,800 to 2,000 a month, Mr. Frost recalled that during the last year a bonus of up to $10 a month, based on need, had been extended to old age pensioners. He disclosed an increase from 1,502 blind pensioners in 1943 to 1,790 this year with expenditures increased from about $97,000 to more than $227,000. Grants to sanitoria are heavily Increased as well. he said. The sum of $3,450,00 included for gen- ,eral hospital, capital and mainten- ance grants which would be placed in the hospitals aid fund. Special Session Is Called By U.N. In Palestine Issue By NORMAN ALTSTEDTER +. Canadian Press Staff Writer f.iLake Success, April 2 (CP)--A special session of the United Na- tions General Assembly to recon- sider the Palestine problem will convene April 16 -- just 30 days before Britain is scheduled to ter- minate her Holy Land mandate. This latest move of the U.N. which had the question dropped in its lap one year:ago today, was de- cided yesterday by a 9 to 0 vote in the Security Council followed by setting of the date by gve Lie, U.N. Secretary General. The Ukraine and Russia, which has urged immediate implementation of Palestine partition and attack- ed the United States proposal for a special session, abstained. The council endorsed a proposal by Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton, Canadas' chief delegate, that it meet immediately to hear specific proposals of the United States regarding its plan for a tempor- ary Palestine trusteeship. McNaughton said yesterday that it was important the council reach its conclusions on this question of "grave urgency" before the spe- cial assembly convenes. Austin said details of the trusteeship plan were not yet ready for submig- sion. The council approved the Cana- dian delegation's suggestion that the Jewish Agency for Palestine, representing the Jews, of the Holy Land, and the an ei Com- mittee, representing the Arabs of the strife-torn country, send rep- resentatives to meet at once with the council's April president, Dr. Alfonso Lopez of Colombia to ar- Tange a truce between the Arab and Jewish communities. Some 2,300 persons have died in Pales- tine fighting since partition was voted.

Canadian Press Staff Writer Those ace mirth - provokers, Wayne and Shuster, were mighty gratified one day recently when they found themselves listed among the 10 most popular radio programs in Canada. A national program rating show- ed the two funny men eighth in popularity during February. And not only that<they nosed out two of the best-drawing features on the air: The National League Hockey broadcasts, which came ninth, and (of all persons!) Bob Hope, who trailed in 10th place. Leading the poll--conducted by Elliott-Haynes; Limited, Toronto-- were Charlie. McCarthy, Fred Allen, Radio Theatre, Fibber McGee and Molly,- Amos 'n' Andy, Music Hall, and Ozzie and Harriet, in that or- der, The question now is whether Canada can hold the two Toronto comedians after their climb into rating equally with high-pressure, heavily-financed, - top-flight pro- grams from the United States. The wisecrackers themselves are non- committal about their prospects. "The field is much wider down there, and there's a chance to work up farther," said Frank Shuster, when queried about the chances of the team packing their bags and heading south of the border, "We like it here in Canada. We're very happy. But there is a limit to where you can go." Last year, when the team signed a three-year contract with the Na- tional Broadcasting Company for & summer show, NBC wanted them to go to New York. Instead, how- ever, the boys stayed at home, and the program was produced by NBC right in Toronto, and also aired by the CBC Trans-Camada network. busy. with their R.C.A.

Martin of Toronto, chairman of the Tourist Service Educational Week and vice president of the James Fisher Advertising Agency declared last night at a meeting of the men of St. Andrew's United Church, Simcoe Street. We 'must do a better public rela. tions job to bring in more American tourists and thus bring in more United States dollars," Mr. Martin said. "The tourist industry which brought in $242,000,000 in 1947 is an invisible export undertaking with Canadians selling goods and service. It is a national business and it is the duty of everyone to act as a helpful host to maintain the, good. will now existing between the two countries," Mr. Martin urged his listeners to pass on a word of encouragement to restaurant owners, service station men and resort operators in their travels if they thought they deserv. ed it, and offer constructive critic- ism if they did not thinkethe stand. ard was up to par. In this way, he said, better service would be built up throughout the Dominion. Travel was a great builder of goodwill, he said, and thought that any friction existing between prov. inces could be eased if there was more inter-provincial travel. The dinner meeting was organized to revive a men's club in the church and was under the chairmanship of "Army" Armstrong. Following the meeting a committee under the chairmanship of Clarence Sadler was named to organize a club in the autumn, The need for a men's club was stressed by Rev. George Telford, the minister who declared that with critical times, both nationally and internationally, approaching, the church needs a solid voice. The speaker was introduced by A. G. Storie and thanked by Leslie Mc. Laughlin. $449 Added To Children Fund Robert Argo, treasurer of the Oshawa committee of the Canadian Appeal for Children Fund, an- nounces that an additional $449.98 has been received which brings the total to date to $3,863.55, The list of contributions not pre- viously published is as follows: Knox Presbyterian Church 27, Local 222 St. John's Mutual Benefit Society Alliance Friendly Society Oshawa Courtice H. and' 8S.

U.K. Extends {Food Deals With Canada Ottawa, April 2--(CP)--The gov. ernment announced last night that present arrangements for financing British purchases in Canada have been extended to April 14; thus providing Britain with funds until Marshal Aid becomes available in about two weeks. The brief; 43.word announcement gave no details, except to say that the extension developed from dis. cussions between the Canadian gov. ernment and the British High Com. missioner, Sir Alexander Clutter. buck. However, the proposal means that Britain will be permitted to con. tinue to draw from her Canadian credit to pay for the foodstuffs and raw materials she is buying from Canada. These include beef, bacon, cheese, eggs, timber and gertain nonferrous metals. The financing arrangement, un. der which Britain was enabled to draw $15,000,000 monthly from the credit, was to have expired March 31. However, this would have left Britain without funds until the Am. erican European Recovery program begins operating about mid-month. The extension will cover the gap. In the absence of any official statement, it is presumed Britain will continue to draw from the loan at the same rate, which would mean a withdrawal of about $7,000,000 by April 14. The unspent portion of the loan totals about $242,000,000. However, Canada during the three.month period which the fi. nancing arrangement covered has over.shipped substantial quantities of bacon and beef and it is thought likely some agreement also was reached to enable Britain to pay for those over.purchases. The $1,250,000,000 Canadian loan was extended two years ago and was expected to last five years. But Britain, running into dollar diffi. culties, drew hea?lly on the credit during 1947 and it finally was agreed to restrict withdrawals to $15,000,000 for the first three months of 1948. This provided the United King- dom with $45,000,000 towards the ex. pected $145,000,000 deficit in her trade with Canada over that period The remaining $100,000,000 was paid in gold or U.S. dollars.
