OTHER IDEAS Council responded in kind to Mr McParland's Welcome and agreed with his suggestions and in addition Mr. Caccamo urged that efforts be continued to secure the former post office for the public library and the former Bank of Montreal as a club for senior citizens Fire Chief Peter Doig, he said has a new fire code prepared for council's acceptance. Mr. Fischer is concerned that the necessary inspection of the Cooks Lake dam be carried out this spring, and additional cemetery property be secured. Mr Krause suggested a cemetery board be established with bylaws considered and possibly the contour of the cemetery changed to an even v surface for easier maintenance. He would also like to have zoning of the town considered of a long-range project; and the at possibility of having sidewalks cleared, after storms, for senior citizens. Mr McCuaig was interested in the possibility of securing low rental housing for retired citizens when they are unable to maintain individual residences.

Stanfield Leans Heavily On Lewis OTTAWA (CP) -- Robert Stanfield lambasted both the Liberals and the New Demo crats for their "marriage of convenience" Monday and then moved a sample motion of no confidence in the minority . Trudeau government After an hour-long Speech that was heartedly cheered by the other 106 Conservatives in the Commons and was listened to by glum-faced Liberals and NDPer--the Conservative leader moved a motion that went into no specifics. The motion, an amendment to the speech from the throne that was read at the opening of Parliament last week, said that the government does "not possess the confidence of this House." A major part of the Conservatiive leader's speech was an attack on the NDP and its leader David Lewis for the NDP decision last week to sup-port the government for the time being and not to move a motion of no confidence. He said Mr. Lewis used to call the Liberals and the Con-servatives "tweedle dum and tweedle dee. Now there its the "same old tweedle dee but a brand new tweedle dum," he said while Conservatives reared with laughter and Prime Minister Trudeau, the other Liberal ministers, and Mr. Lewis sat stony faced. NEEDS NDP SUPPORT The NDP has 31 seats, and only if it supports the Conservative motion can the 109 member Liberal government be defeated. Mr. Stanfield said the NDP, once a party of principle has taken on a new role and a new responsibility, guaranteeing the continued existence of a "truncated and repudiated govern-ment." He said there is nothing in the speech from the throne and nothing in the 412-year record of the government to indicate that it should be trusted to being out proposals promised in the throne speech in an acceptable manner. Despite the fact that Prime Minister Trudeau had said he had learned his lessen from the Oct. 30 federal election, there was no difference in him than before the election. "It is the same prime minister, seasonally adjusted," he said. He said the prime minister had taken many Conservative ideas to put in his throne speech. -The prime minister gives an indication of what the government considers its six most important pieces of legislation --That the throne speech de-bate be adjourned Monday to permit the immediate in-troduction of a legislation, deal-ing with old-age pensions promised in the throne speech. NEED HELP FACT Mr. Stanfield said the government must have this legislation ready now, and that the elderly of the country needs fast help. Mr. Stanfield concluded by saying it would be tragic if Parliament was to keep in office a government that was so lacking in commitment, attitude and credibility. The country did not need a government without a mind of its own that had done nothing but back and fill since the Oct. 30 election. At the beginning of his speech Mr. Stanfield said he could not congratulate the prime minister for innovation in the throne speech but he did congratulate him for the plagiarism contained in it. He said the government had lost the credibility of the Canadian people and did not deserve the trust of the House. Mr. Lewis had himself reformed to the 4 1 2 "wasted years" of the government. Mr. Stanfield added that these wasted years were a time of folly and failure in which the government wasted its mandate.
