Would you vote against provid- ng Old Age Pensioners with a mension of $100 a month? The ans- iver ‘quite likely is that you would . And I wouldn't either. However, Parliament, by the metcae that you read this ‘vill prob- sably be faced with the spect of mvotiig on a Conservative ame 1d- Mament which will state that the mpension should be $100, ow, let me put another ques- mativn to you. Would you vote to Bedeze;t the government and bring " ui another election? The ans- suite likely is that you would “nd I wouldn't either. Sever, Parliament, at the ‘time that it votes on a Con- mservaiive amendment relating to waithe $100. Old Age Pension (if one mis ir. duced), will also vote on tie, saestion of whether or not mati: . will be another election a matter of weeks. ais the dilemma with which 7 will be faced if the Conserva- mtives move a Throne Speech ee amendment on the question of Old m@ Age Pensions. In fact it is the 2 dilemma with which we will be = faced no matter what the subject m of any so-called ‘want-of-confid- ence’ amendments. Normally during a session of Parliament there are eight oppor- tunities to move these so-called - ‘wantof-confidence’ amendments. “These amendments are traditional only and have no relationship to any actual situation that exists at that time. In other words there is nothing specific in the way of | legislation before Parliament at | the time these votes are taken. I have heard them described as being nothing more than a ritual- t. istic fire-dance. We go through the ¢motions of dealing with them be- Feause they ate in the rules and ?are a holdover from days gone by. By themselves they mean nothing except a probable election if the government is defeated and noth. ‘ing at all if the government is up- held. ' his is the type of motion about which I made my pledge in the 1963 election, when I said, “I will not participate in moving, nor in supporting any so-called want of confidence motions for a period of two session.” I- said this, and car- .* > it out, because 1 believed that ‘. .inment had <«o be given a ‘ola ze to function because in 1963 we' elected a minority government. In 1965 we likewise elected a | minority government .Whal do we do now? I know what I'm going to do. We must keep this Parliament in ‘operation. We simply cannot af- ford another election for a period of at least three years and mayhe _ four. : For my own part I intend to car- “ry on as I did earlier. If this means voting against a Conservative amendment on Old Age Pensions ‘then I will have to do just that. It -won't mean that I’m against an intrease in Old Age Pensions. Heaven knows I've fought as hard as anyone to get them increased. It will simply mean that I’m sagainst defeating the government at this time and thus help in springing about an election. , It won't mean that we won't get a decent increase in Old ..ge Pensions either, for that question, ‘in its real sense, will not be before Parliament, As E said before it ‘will mean nothing if such an amendment is defeated and will only mean an election if such an arjendment {is carried, = =i Many old German mining terms originating in Saxony have been gadopted in other languages.

A Pee-Wee game scheduled for Saturday morning between Ter- race and Kitimat was the first to be seratched and a senior hockey game between Prince Rupert and Terrace on the list for 2:00 p.m, Saturday, was cancelled. At 11:00 am. Sunday, Hazelton's senior team was to have™ played the winner of Saturday afternoon's contest and at 2:00 p.m. Sunday the winners in the senior semi- finals were to have staged a play- off game. A “fun-game” between Terrace Lions and Terrace Rotarians was also cancelled out when ice in Terrace’s temporary outdoor rink turned to water and slush. Commenting on the situation Monday morning, Harry Davey of the Terrace Hockey Club said, “It was very disappointing and cer- tainly points up the need for an ice arena in Terrace," Bumper Tourist Year For B.C.
