a

in

Mr.
O'Meara
spok
at
the
conclusion
of
this
morning's
sess'on
which
came
close
to
completing
the
long
list
o
resolutions
which
has
kept
the
delegates
busy
since
the
convention
opened
Thursday
morning.
He
lauded
the
broad
thinking
cf
the
Associated
Boards
which
he
said
was
aimed
at
the
advancement
of
the
province
as
a
whole
and
not
conlinec
to
community
promotion.
"There
never
has
been
a
time
in
history
when
objective
thinking
for
a
whole
area
was
more
necessary
than
It
Is
now,"
he
declared.
"You
delegates
are
thinking
in
terms
of
what
Is
good
for
the
whole
region
and
the
province,
more
than
for
Individual
communities."
Similar
broad
thinking
Is
necessary
on
the
administrative
levels
of
government,
he
said,
and
Is
being
attempted
In
a
policy
of
close
co-operation
by
the
provincial
Department
of
Trade
and
Industry
and
the
federal
Department
of
Trade
and
Commerce.
Mr.
OiMeara
stressed
the
Importance
of
the
resolutions
be
ing
considered
by
the
delegates
by
saying
that
"only
toy
accumu
lated
pressure
and
orderly
thinking
can
you
bring
these
mat
ters
to
the
attention
of
quar
ters
where
effective
action
will
result."

The

hopes
to
push
the
bill
through
all
remaining
Parliamentary
stages
before
the
scheduled
adjournment
of
the
House
of
Commons
next
Thursday.
The
Labor
Government
Thursday
scored
a
clear-cut
victory
for
Its
dollar
saving
plan
when
the
House
of
Commons
rejected
by
a
vote
of
318
to
170
the
Opposition
motion
against
It.
The
Conservative
method
of
expressing
disapproval
was
to
put
forward
"a
program
designed
to
win
the
economic
battle
of
Britain."
Winston
Churchill
charged
m;
the
House
of

today
that
British
Socialists
were
asking
Parliament
for

asserted

Churchill
declared:
"The

of
Parliament
and
of
all
our
long

The
government
requested
legislation
to
implement
the

that
would
extend
and
strengthen
government
powers
dating
from

to
