Lawvers Make Up Third | Of All Canadian MP's By JHN E. BIRD Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP) -- A survey of nomination papers of the new members of the House of Commons discloses fhat the men and women elected in the Aug. 10 election rep- resent almost every walk of life, job or profession. There are 10 who have retired from the business or professional world and four who describe themselvés as gentlemen. The pursuits of the 265 members are so varied that the government will not lack advice on any prob- lem arising during the next four or five years. For legal. help the government can rely. on the abilities of 77 men and one woman, many of them distinguished members of the bar. The woman lawyer is Sybil Ben- nett, Progressive Con ser vative member for Halton. LARGEST GROUP The lawyers are the largest group 'represented in the new House, accounting for nearly a third of all members. Every prov- ince has at least one lawyer, but the bulk of them are from On- tario and Quebec. The two central provinces each have 30 lawyers; Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island and Al- berta one each; Nova Scotia, Man- itoba and British Columbia three each; New Brunswick four and Saskatchewan two. There will be a butcher in the Commons. He is Charles Yuill, So- cial Credit member for Jasper-Ed- son. He defeated John Welbourn, Liberal member in the last Par- liament. Colin Cameron is a pipefitter from Nanaimo, B.C. He is the new member for the Nanaimo constitu- ency held in the last Parliament by Maj.-Gen. G. R. Pearkes, listed as a retired soldier. Gen. Peackes in the new British was elected Esquimalt - | Columbia riding of Saanich. The House's four gentlemen members are Leonard T. Stick (L -- Trinity-Conception); Joseph Lafontaine (L--Megantic); J. W. Murphy (PC--Lambton-West), and G. K. Fraser (PC--Peterborough). Their nomination papers list their occupation as "gentleman.'" 25 FARMERS Farmers are the second largest group. There are 25, representing all provinces except Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. Two thirds of the farmer repre- sentatives come from Ontario and Saskatchewan. Ontario has nine and the wheat province eight. There are two from Prince Ed- ward Island, one from New Bruns- wick, one from Quebec, two from Manitoba, one from Alberta and one from British Columbia. Merchants and business men come next with 21. They are fol- lowed by agents, salesmen and brokers with 18, teachers with 14, and editors, publishers, journalists and advertising executives with 13. The remaining members repre- sent just about every other walk of life, including that of the house- wife. The women's viewpoint will be injected into parliamentary de- bate by four Ontario members-- Miss Bennett; Mrs. Ellen Fair- clough (PC--Hamilton West), an accountant; Mrs. Ann Shipley (L-- Timiskaming), a secretary, and Margaret Aitken (PC--York-Hum- ber), a journalist. There are eight doctors, one of them being Revenue Minister Me- Cann. Four come from Ontario, three from Quebec and on freom Manitoba. THREE DENTISTS The dental profession is repre: sented by three members, Wil liam Buchanan (L--Cape Breton North and Victoria); W. A. Pom- mer (L--Lisgar), and J. L. Mac- Dougall (L--Vancouver - Burrard). There is one druggist, S. R. Bal com, one of the two Liberal mem- bers from Halifax riding. Besides teachers, the world of learning is represented by four professors, two educationists in- cluding Labor Minister Gregg, and four clergymen. In the professional field there are engineers, an archi- tect, brokers, two civil srvants, one surveyor and an agronomist in addition to doctors, dentists and lawyers. The agronomist, a profes- sional agriculturist, is Leopold Demers, (L--Montreal Laval). The business world has sent managers, directors, contractors, industrialists and manufacturers to the House. Tre white collar worker is represented by clerks, account- ants, stenographers and salesmen. The small business man has strong representation. His spokes- men are merchants of various types, lumber operators, garage owners and one jeweler, J. C. Nadon (L--Gatineau). The working man is also well represented. Besides the butcher and the pipe fitter, there are two miners, Clare Gillis (CCF-Cape Breton south), and J. A: Byrne (L--Kootenay East); one fisher- man, A. Wesley Stuart (L--Char- lotte); a millworker, Thomas Bar- nett (CCF--Comox - Alberni): an electrician, Harold Winch (CCF-- Vancouver East), and a street-car motorman, Angus MacInnis (CCF --Vancouver-Kingsway).

U.S. Deports Lawbreaker To Canada CHICAGO (AP) - Isaie Aldy Beausoleil, 46, who was on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's list of '"'"most wanted men" until he was arrested June 26 in Chi- cago, is going back to his native Canada. He pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to a charge of enter- ing the United States illegally. Judge Joseph Sam Perry placed him on probation for five years, and warned him that if he sneaked back into the U.S. he would be subject to a two-vear prison sen- tence and a $1,000 fine. Beausoleil was seized by police June 26 while he was dressed in women's clothing.
