May Use Planes To Carry Votes The Royal Canadian Navy has un- dertaken to see that every Canadian tar in the service is given an op- portunity to vote in next month's Dominion election, even if it becomes necessary to pick up the navy votes at sea by airplane. Just how' many men are serving in the navy must remain defence de- partment information bet Prime Min- ister Mackenzie King gave 8,000 as the number in the navy and the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve. As with those of the army and air force, Canada's men will vote un- der the Active Service Voting Reg- ulations from March 18 to• 23. Their ballots must be in the hands of the special returning officer for their active service voting area — there, are three in Canada — by 6 o'clock on the evening of polling day, March 26th. It is to meet this deadline that the navy has promised to provide an airplane ballot pick-up at sea should it prove necessary. Hepburn days He is Not Sure Of Ding Defeat Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn may be at loggerheads with Prime Min- ister Mackenzie King, but in the On- tario Legislature last Thursday, he said, "I am not sure that there will be a new Government,” His utterance came while he was replying to the Conseryative Leader who had sug- gested the premier might take up the question of who will pay for guards at hydro and other utility plants with the new Government after March 26th. "I am not sure there will be a new Government," declared Premier Hepburn. (Applause from the Libera benches). When the applause had died down, the premier jumped upto say "I amt not expressing my own views." The exchange was brought :about. by the premier who protested the unwarranted cont the province had been put to in paying for guards after the war broke. out. It was an unforseenexpenditure and so far had cost the Ontario Government ;895,000,00 ROXY Tai EATIE CLINTON NOW PLAYING: Alice Faye and Constance Bennett in "Tail Spin. Mon. Tues, & Wed.
