USED TWO PLANES

VICTORIA ( — The govern-
ment made a new “interpreta-
tion” of the provincial home-
owner grant act Thursday, re-
laxing the application of the $28
tax rebate. .

The action was taken on. the

$28 now will be paid to home-
owners who have another house
on their property which is rent-
ed.
It is a complete reversal of an-
other order which went out Sept.
20 making the opposite interpre-
tation.

The matter is of primary con-
cern in the interior, where
ranchers and frult-growers fre-
quently have a second house on
their property for hired help.
Previously they could not col-
lect the $28, while a duplex own-
er in the city, who lived in one
half and rented the other was

to the attorney-general named
James Tainsh, manager of the
pitch - and-putt course; Phil
Stroyan, superintendent of- the
parks board which administers
the course in Stanley Park; and
the city. : ,

Brig. Murphy was asked to put

casting companies. oo,

“It is now our duty to en-
force the Lord’s Day, Act in
every particular,” Brig. Mur-
phy said, “It is inconceivable
that we should enforce the act
against one and not others,
-and I for one will have no part
of it.”

ELIMINATE ADVERTISING

The secretary for the Lord's
Day Alliance in B.C, and Alberta,
Rev. Harold T. Allen, conrmented
that he considered the law quite
clear on the subject of broad-
casting:

 

Mr. McMorran. said his report

he didn’t think Mr. Bonner would
worry. about “the: ‘pitch-and-putt
course." ee

w

he: understood «the..symphony

The Mounties used the same
sales system for their Sunday
games. \ .
“Contrary to some opinion,”
Rev. Allen said, “we don’t go
around hunting up troubles here
and there. We aren't old fogies.
‘But we are doing everything
to keep commercialized Sundgy
sport away from the scene in
Vancouver.”
