THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1950 THY DAISY TI MES-GAZETTE PAGE TWENTY-ONE Reorganize Film Board Says Winters Ottawa, March 30--(CP) -- Re- organization of the government- owned National Film Board was 'recommended Wednesday in a re- port tabled in the Commons by Resources Minister Winters. . A 20,000-word document prepar=: ed by a Toronto firm of manage- "ment consultants recommended . that in the reorganization cabinet ministers be eliminated from mem- "bership of the board, mainly res ponsible for policies of the N.F.B. Sweeping changes in accounting practices, in the divisions of func- tions among various branches, and in the hiring of personnel also - Were urged. The report made no reference to the screening of N. F. B. employees by the RC.MP,, but in tabling the report Mr. Winters disclosed that three of the 580 N.F.B. employees were released as a direct result or the security screenings, He did not disclose names and asked that he not be pressed for details, There was no charge of wrong- doing against the three employees, but merely absence of satisfactory evidence of trustworthiness. The in- dividuals / and not the government would suffer from any publicity. He had informed government departments Feb. 21 that the board was in a position to undertake work of a secret nature. While the screenings were going on, the board was not allowed to do any secret work for government departments. As to recommendations in the report, Mr. Winters said he had given preliminary consideration to them. Under the present setup, Mr, Winters serves as chairman of the National Film Board and Revenue Minister McCann is a member. The other members are Dr. Georges Bouchard of the Agriculture De- partment, M, M, MacLean of the Labor Department, J, A. MacNeill law clerk of the Senate, Donald Cameron of the University of Al- berta, J. A. Cunningham of New Glasgow, N.S, and Jean Charles Falardeau, Laval University in Quebec. W. A. Irwin is film commissioner and Alan Field is secretary to the board. In a recommendation that would inydlve an amendment to the Na- tional Film Board 'Act, the report suggested that the board consist of / the film commissioner as chairman, e representatives of the public chosen to represent the five main Pegions 6f Canada and three senior elvil servants. Pending adoption of such a change, the report suggested an in- terim organization be established under eight senior officials of the * 'Board. It was felt that it should be possible to maintain control of the Yoard by Parliament without direct mpervision of cabinet ministers. fhe report added: "We question the propriety of a minister acting as an equal mem- ber of the board and thus being placed in a position: where he can be overruled by other. members." SELL FAMOUS CAR Edmonton -- (CP) -- The Alberta government has decided to sell a! famous automobile -- the one used by the late William Aberhart, pre- mier from 1935 to 1943. It was last used by J. C. Bowen, former Alberta li 'enant-governor, Urge Better Homes For Ont. Aged Toronto, March 30--(CP)--Unem- ployment and homes for the aged cropped up in debate as the On- tario Legislature in a night sitting Wednesday night considered various departmental estimates. Welfare Minister Goodfellow said there were about 6,000 persons in municipal homes for the aged but added "I believe there are another home, if it were not for the stigma of going into what in that com- munity is regarded as a poor house." The minister said that regard- less of the size of the community, homes for the aged should be de- signed to accommodate not more than 200 persons. The department's policy was to segregate the more able inmates from the senile or bed-ridden, and one of the first homes to which this applies will be the one to be opened at Sault Ste. Marie this summer. He invited the members to visit the home and see the policy in practice. A. A. MacLeod (Lab-Prog--Toron- to Bellwoods) contrasted Ontario's old-age pension of $40 a month, including $30 from the dominion and $10 from the province, with the $50 pension in British Columbia. He said also that the home for the aged at Fort Willlam is "a dis- graceful place." Agnes Macphail (CCF--York East) said the government might Bé bet- ter if it helped the well-run private homes which were often free of the stigma attached to public institu- tions. She also mentioned the home at Fort William, saying that while it was better than a lot of others that have finer exteriors, it still was not well equipped tq combat fire, Unemployment was raised by Eamon Park (CCF--Toronto Dover= court) who asked the government's attitude toward relief. Mr. Good- fellow said the provincial govern- ment gave relief only to "unemploy- ables." He did not consider it was "passing the buck" to say that the responsibility for unemployed em- ployables rested with the federal government. Unemployment, the minister said, arose from economic conditions over which the federal government had greater control. The federal government also was able to raise revenue from sources not availabe to either the province or municipal- ities. This brought from Liberal lcader Farquhar Oliver (Grey South) the remark "surely a government wita $21,000,000 in its vest pocket can do something to help these munici- palities that are paying the {iull shot for unemployment relief."
