Cannot Get Support of T.L.C. Endorse System of Proportional Representation Nominatl Candidates Soon The Trades and Labor Council cannot, because of its setup, support the Civic Progress Association here, it was decided at last night's meeting.

Carp Wasilenko, Blaine Lake farmer, must pay his one-time wife $20 a month for the next ten years for the care of their six-year-old son, Danny.

The order was made by Judge J. F. Bryant in a judgment issued on Wednesday afternoon following action by Pola or Polly Wasilenko against Carp under the Child Welfare Act. Carp had had their marriage of 24 years annulled a year ago and she claimed he should support their small son. The judge's order further requires that Carp "shall forthwith give a bond for the fulfillment of this order in the penal sum of $1,000 with sureties to be approved by me, or Would Link Tram Lines Time to Renew Plea for Permit to Use Bridge, Mayor Believes Opinion that establishment of an artificial rink on Second Avenue, north, would be sure to increase tram traffic to- that section, was expressed today by Mayor Finder, who said he believed the time opportune for the city to renew its application to the Local Government Board for authority to extend the system to permit operating cars over the Twenty-fifth Street Bridge.

COST $12,000 Rails were laid across the bridge when that structure was built. The gap Is between the west end of the bridge and Second Avenue. Cost of making the extension would be approximately $12,000, according to estimates placed before City Council by George D. Archibald, city engineer, some months ago. The mayor believed that the necessary bonds to raise this amount could be sold locally.

According to a plan outlined today, the bonds, which would be re-payabie'in 15 years and bearing interest at the rate of about four per cent, and would be sold largely to the Arms and individuals interested In having the extension built. The mayor believed the Local Government Board would be prepared to grant the application if it could be financed in this way. Accordingly before any application is made, he will canvass the field to insure that all the bonds could be placed. Cost to the city In principal and Interest charges would work out at about $1,100 per year, the mayor estimated.

Rural-v Municipal Society To Make Suggestion To Commission TO EASE BURDEN REASSESSMENT OF VALUES OF LAND BEING URGED FOR SASKATCHEWAN RUG IN Oct. 14. Substi tution of a production tax, as a means of lifting some of the tax burden off land, will be recommended to the commis sion investigating taxation in the Province, by the executive of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities. AS SUBSTITUTE The executive meets in Regina all next week, and on Thursday will meet the Government to present the resolutions adopted at the thirty-first annual convention held in Prince Albert, March 4, 5 and 6.

On Friday, October 23, the execu tive will appear before the taxation commission, when the various recommendations submitted by municipal councils will be placed before that body. Another municipal resolution calls tor the reassessment of land values by a competent staff of assessors selected by the Saskatchewan assessment commission. The contention is that the assessment should be made every 10 years and should not be varied by appeal except in the years the assessment is made. Municipalities generally favor the repeal of the public revenue tax, and the revenue from that source replaced by a consumers' tax. Municipal representatives claim that such a tax is more fair and equitable in that it levies a tax on a large section of the population which at present is not paying taxes.

MacNiven, on behalf of the social service and evangelism committee, presented a resolution to the effect that war was unjustifiable in all circumstances. In the ensuing discussion, many delegates voiced opposition to the resolution which was eventually tabled. While none of the delegates were in favor of war as a means of settling a country's difficulties, some pointed Out a difference between offensive and defensive wars. Alderman C. L.

Dent, of Prince Albert, provisional chairman, expressed the desire of the league to provide a medium through which Saskatchewan could voice its convictions on the state medicine subject. He stressed that health was of primary importance, and that protection for those engaged in the medical profession was essential to the proper progress of health. Present taxation methods were inadequate to provide necessary funds to insure the health of every person the Province, and it was the aim of the league to devise ways and means whereby state medicine could be accomplished. The chairman explained the present organization had been formed at Prince Albert in April, 1936. Since its formation, eight local affiliated groups had been formed in the Province, with a total membership of about 700 persons.

RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE Short, concise addresses from several persons Interested in the state medicine idea featured the morning session, and a committee to consider resolutions was chosen. Those on the committee were C. S. La-croix of Prince Albert, Dr. Wallace Bond, representing the medical profession; Frank Eliason, representing agriculturist; H.

D. Davis of Regina, representing labor; Alderman R. H. Hunter, representing the urban municipalities; and Reeve S. M.

Anderson, representing rural municipalities. S. E. Moore, of Reglna, stressed the need of some organization obtaining fundamental data for formation of a basis on which state medicine could be worked out He emphasized that in order to arrive at the per capita cost of state medicine to the citizens of the Province, the "incidence of sickness," in the Province must be determined. By collecting facts relative to costs and the amount of sickness in Saskatchewan over a given period of time, as well as the costs and ne- Grant Pleas Of Prisoners variation in Food, Rubber Soles for Night Guards Among Reforms Promised REGINA, Cct.

15 Food at Regina Jail will be varied as far as possible, within the limits of the menu fixed by order-ln-council, Hon. George Spence, minister of public works, said Wednesday.

B. East and Alderman Victor Olson. More fish, and more sweetened foods will be included In the daily diet of prisoners. Teeth extractions will be done by competent dentists where necessary. This has been the practice, Mr.

Spence said. Cant Provide "Few Haircuts" Refusal of City Council to grant Unemployed single men a dollar a month with which to provide themselves with soap, haircuts and the like, met with a storm of protest from Gerald Dealtry, secretary, at the Trades and Labor Council meeting last night.

The machine is described as a 1934 Dodge coupe with black body and blue wheels with white stripes.

The machine contained a radio and a heater. The Weather At 2 o'clock this afternoon the Star-Phoenix thermometer registered 47 degrees. University of Saskatchewan readings at 8 o'clock this morning Temperature, 40.9; barometer, 30.09; humidity, 86. Summary of preceding 24 hours: Maximum temperature, 64.5; minimum temperature, 40.3; minimum temperature at ground level, 39; mean temperature, 63.5; wind, average velocity, 20; maximum velocity, 28; direction, west; 2.5 hours lunshine; .35 inch rain DOCTORS HARD HIT "With those facts available, any Government could plan for definite action on State medicine. If this organization could obtain those facts, it would be doing the greatest thing for the care of the sick in Saskatchewan," the doctor stated.

The speaker listed objections to the present system of medicine from doctors of the Province. It was the doctor's task to care for the sick, which he was always willing to do, regardless of payment for his services. Consequently, doctors had felt the strain of depression to a marked degree in Saskatchewan. TO RAISE STANDARDS Doctor Moore discussed briefly the action taken by Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Manitoba and Quebec Government with respect to health insurance, and believed that the method adopted in Alberta, which would become operative there next year, could easily be applied lo Saskatchewan. Although the municipal doctor system was a step in the right direction, it was impossible for one doctor to know everything about medicine, Doctor Moore stated, explaining that often outside aid was necessary.

The practice of municipalities to employ the doctor who would work for the smallest remuneration was a bad one, since it was the care of the sick which was of primary Importance. He stressed the need for state medicine from the standpoint that it would raise the standards' of the medical profession, as well as bene fit the sick. LABOR AND U.F.C. H. D.

Davis of Prince Albert told those present that labor was in terested in immediate action to wards state medicine. He warned against "pussy-footing" with resolutions and pressed for Immediate organization. George R. Bickerton, president of the U.F.C, Saskatchewan Section, instanced a case where farmers were taxed $10 per quarter-section to provide medical facilities for a municipality. They were willing to pay that, knowing, that medical aid was essential.

The U.F.C. man believed a larger unit of administration, possibly containing four municipalities, would reduce costs and increase services. Mr. Bicker-ton believed that if some type of socialized service was provided, there would be a great deal of work for doctors. The Rev.

Doctor Palmer of Prince Albert, told delegates he agreed that the time for action was at hand. He commended the medical profession for the manner in which It had served communities regardless of re muneration. He believed that medicine could be socialized along the plan of the provincial sanatoria. REGINA VIEWPOINT Mayor A. C.

Ellison of Regina, stated a change In the system of administering medical aid was necessary because the people were demanding a change. Today, he claimed, the poor were provided with medical aid through relief, and the rich could afford to pay. The large group of persons earning small wages were out of luck. The problem, as he saw It, was one of organization. It was useless to pass resolutions asking Govern ments to institute state medicine, but through organizations demanding Government support, much could be accomplished.

The taxpayer, he believed, should not be made to stand the whole burden of cost for State medicine. Colonel H. W. Arnold, chairman of the Saskatoon provisional committee, pointed to difficulties in the way of organization. Small wage earners were he stressed, and shied from anything which appeared charity.

In general discussion, Alderman John Cairns, the Rev. W. G. Brown, John Evans, all of Saskatoon, E. M.

Johns of Henribourg, Mrs. E. Muz-zey of Prince Albert and Mary G. Tunnah, representing the Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation, cited instances where State medicine would have saved lives, or where plans of State medicine had succeeded well. E.

H. Crimp emphasized the necessity of formulating a concise scheme for presentation to the Governments. Mr. Dent, summing up discussion, stated the opinion of all classes of persons was desired. This afternoon, officers were to be elected, committees chosen and resolutions considered.

Adoption of a constitution and organization of the league will "be completed. At 5.30 o'clock there will.be dinner at the hotel, and the new president, together with G. R. Bickerton and Miss Bertha Oxner, will speak. At 8 o'clock tonight, a public session, to be addressed by George Williams, M.L.A., J.

T. M. Anderson, former premier, and Colonel Arnold, will be held. The meeting will be thrown open for discussion. Premier Patterson, who was to have addressed the evening session, is detained at Regina and will be unable to attend.

I SEE The Civic Progress Association will hold a public meeting in Buena Vlsla School at 8 o'c lock this evening. Everyone will be welcomed. Plans for the an mini Armist ice Ball of the United Services Institute are in the hands of an active committee. The ball this year will be held in The Bessborough on the night of November 11.
