The decision signed In Moscow by Russia, the United States and Britain agrees that the Bulgarian government should have two opposition leaders in the cabinet. But, Russia took Uncle Sam to task for raising new conditions In the agree ment .by urging that opposlUon members be appointed on "mutually acceptable conditions." The United States so far has not officially recognized the Soviet-sponsored Bulgarian government contending that it Is not broadly representative of all democratic? elements In Bulgaria. Meanwhile State Department officials In Washington have withheld comment on the Moscow assertion but they said that an answer to the Russian note Is being prepared.

Hyndman, inspector of schools lor this district. Mr. Hyndman discussed what In educational circles Is known as the doctrine of Interest with' the teachers. "While bolh traditionalist and modern schools of thouzht would agree that the perpetuation of our culture Is the mam objective of education," Mr. Hyndman said, "they differ as to how this objective can be achieved.

The emphasis must be more on Individual growth than on subject matter. "Consequently a key problem lor the teacher Is to .supply an environment which will provoke a defire for learning. This Is a tremendous responsibility und demands that our schools be thoroughly equipped to supply a program meeting the needs of-each individual pupil. "The teacher occupies less and less the centre of the educational stac the focus U more and more on the pupil.

Referring to the road built by the Dominion government to link Prince Rupert and Hazelton, Mr. Anscomb said he was in favor of the national government maintaining the road itself as a military highway in the same way as the Dominion government is maintaining the Alaska Highway. "Roth were built for that purpose and both, I maintain, should be national responsibilities." Of particular interest to the northern part of the province was Mr. Anscomb's statement that the federal government had been approached concerning the construction of a road to link Atlin via the-Abrskan Highway with Whitehorsc, A reply, he said, had been received that the Department of Mines and Resources was quite favorable to the project "and the project should le approved. It is quite possible the Dominion government will undertake all the work, including surveys, with our province contributing its share of the cost of the work." HOW MONKY IS TO RK SPNT With public works department expenditures for the 1946-17 fiscal year totalling 822.850,000, Mr.. Anscomb outlined the great program, summarizing expenditures as follows: 1. Maintenance, $:,000,000. 2. New loan for capital development, $5,000,000. .'. For machinery and equipment, $5,000,000. I. Completion of contracts already entered into, $000,000 (approximately). 5. Kootenav Lake ferry road and landings, $750,000. (5. Peace River road connection, $0,000,000. 7. Hope-Princeton road, $5,000,000. The minister predicted that the public works department is planning to tighten up "very considerably on gross loads carried on highways by trucking operations." During the w:jr, Mr. Anscomb said, "we allowed heavy overloads because of the necessity of the times. Whether that necessity has passed completely or not, the fact remains we are going to restrict them because the roads were never constructed for the loads now being placed on them and they arc wrecking the roads so fast without' additional compensation that it has 'got to stop." The minister indicated that tolls would not be removed from ferries, bridges and highways. He said that the tolls collected from such ferries, roads and bridges represented $(500,000 a year which would hard top 100 miles of road. Mr. Anscomb said, however: "I want it very clearly understood that, whatever I say about them does not mean that, under ordinary circumstances, I am personally in favor of a toll." The minister recalled that on one occasion in the Legislature he had remarked that, when the federal government relinquished its present three-cent gasoline tax, the province should impose it." In other words the tax would then remain as it is 10c per gallon and wc should definitely earmark it as a carrying charge for public works loans." FOUR-POWER PARLEY PLAN PAIUSFrance has proposed a four-power parley on German problems. The proposal made public today by the United States state department called for a conference which would discuss permanent separation of the Ruhr and the Rhmcland frcm the Reich. At the conference. France would also reconsider Its opposition to establishment of central agencies to administer German commerce as suggested by Secretary of State James F.
