One statement read it was a "downright disgrace" for Members of Parliament to serve 16 years in order to qualify for a $3,000 pension, Here is what the Financial Times has to say on the subject; "It has been the custom for those whe of Parliament is no point of contact be. tween the legislative and administrative systems of Canada and the United States, Any comparison that should properly be made would be with British MP's and cabinet members, and if that is done, conditions are all very much in favor of our representatives at Ottawa, "In the United States members of Congress are admittedly professional politicians, In addition to their high rate of compensation, in relation to those of Canadian MP's, they are entitled to ale lowances for secretaries and expenses in other directions, Under the British sys. tem, on the other hand, it is taken for granted that a Member of Parliament is prepared to make some sacrifices for the privilege of representing his cons- tituents and the honor of working in the interests of his country, "Canadian MP'S, with their sessional indemnity and expense allowance, don't do too badly in the way of compensa» tion in the light of the foregoing, partis cularly as many of them have incomes from other sources = through a eon. nection with law firms or other organis gations with which they may be con. nected, And a $3,000 yearly pension will keep anyone from the breadline," Motorists And Lights A recent amendment to the highway traffic act of Ontario requires motorists to have their lights aglow when travell ing: between the peried from one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour before sunrise, Previously the regulation was less specifi, requiring lights between - dusk and dawn, The amendment is good, and should have the effect of reducing the hazards on the highway caused by unlighted cars, particularly in the early evening The benefita of the amendment, hows ever, will depend on the degree of en. forcement, the Porth Arthur News. __Chrodlicle points out, The new regulation will make prose. cution easier, for definite times can be established daily when lights are re. quired, "Dusk" and "dawn" are vague terms, the interpretation of which could vary considerably, : The Osharon Times Vo by WILION, Publisher and Generel Manager € GWYN KINSEY, Tdi 1 » Ee LE FRE TS Ors 04 Catntrt Sae, Fin P & SUBSCRIPTION RATES Other regulations congerning lights on motor vehicles are perhaps the most flagrantly disregarded of all traffic laws, Thousands of motorists on the highways fail to dim their lights when meeting or following other vehicles, yet prosecutions are rare compared with those for less serious offences, And thousands more drive with only one light for periods longer than necassary for repairs, Working the lights of a car is a matter of courtesy, People who drive in urban areas with headlights on high beam lack consideration for the safety and comfort of pedestrians as well as motorists, Those who drive through fog, rain and snow without lights endanger the lives of all who use the road, We hope police will enforce the new regulation, So far as the motorists are concerned, they can protect themselves by observing the times of sunset and sunrise, The onus is on the motorist to know when to turn on his lights, Other Editor's Views USE FOR WASTE (Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph) More and more we need to encourage the type of research that will find uses for waste material, It is important it Canada is to remain competitive in the world market and at the same time maintain our standards in our relatively small domestic market, The more waste we can divert to profitable use, the more we can expect to see a cut back in operating costs that will keep our industry in a position where it can compete, Bible Thought I am dead to the Law that I might live unto God~--Galatians 2:19, The life of faith is not oriented with respect to rules but with respect to a Person, Religion ia not obedience to Yaw, but rather love of God FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS OTTAWA REPORT Youth Movement In Liberal Party By PATRICK NICHOLSON The accent is on younger leader. ship in politics in North America this year, And this discarding of grey hairs has just ereated acid reactions in some Liberal circles, Two hundred Liberals gathered in conference at Kingston, Ont, last week, They found that the Old Guard had been brusquely des throned hy the "young Turks," who took over the top rungs of the Liberal ladder al least for that one occasion, The veterans who had architected the Liberal victory of 1085, and who had fought and triumphed at the polls in 1040, 1045, 1040, and 1068, were out, During the 82 years of Liberal rule so recently ended, the gens who had won the initial vies in 1085 were decimated by father time, But younger replace. ments fitted themselves into the machine, conforming to its meths ods, Today tha old machine, al though patched, considers itself serviceable and still deserving obedient adherence, But it was discarded, OLD ORDER CHANGETH So today the smoke-filled rooms of liberalism are littered with the bruised egos of former giants, At Kingston, the architects of former Liberal electoral triumphs were neither heeded nor heard-4hey Just were not there, Stalwart sep» uagenarians, who have forgotien more about polities than the youngsters have ever learned were not invited = perhaps be: cause they have forgotten so much, The battle-scarred Liberal warriors, once cabinet ministers fue, younger than the younger of the two U.S, would-be presidents take over from sepluagenarian M, J, Coldwell, The only change in the Conservative parliamentary hierarchy so far in this year of the young men however reversed this pattern: instead of "age" being eliminated, one of the ba. bies of the cabinet, 43-year-old Courtemanche, was moved out to take his place among the 40-0dd octogenarians and sepluagenar ans in our Benate, OLD BUT YOUNG FACES The exact background of the split in Liberal ranks is a shift towards new ideas rather than a drift away from old men, The spearhead of this new liberalism, expected to arise from the Kingse fon meeting out of the ashes of recent defeats, is centred In men who, although net prominent in the public eye during the Liberal regime as leaders, were nevers theless effective in the apparatus of government set up by the Libs erals, The conference was called for example, by a specially selected committee, not by the Liberal organization, The commitlee was headed by Mitchell Sharp, not publicly known as a politician, but minister of nD, appointed deputy trade by Liberal giant C fowe, Prominent at the conference were two men selected by Mr, St. Laurent in his later years as prime minister to head two Im. rant royal commissions, Wale er Gordon (commission en Cans or party or "or ig managers or strategy advisers, were omitted from the guest list for the Kingston conference, A new breed of Liberals took over, a breed which has confidence in its own new Ideas, The doughty old warriors, pretty fine men als though dethroned as champions, were given a hardsodake snub, Now they are sour, vations have been stormed and Thug too other political organi seized by youngsters who ' have ousted the old guard this year, In the US, the two old-parly presi. dential nominations were won by comparative youngsters, possibly too young, The CCF leadership contest saw 30-year-old Hazen Ar ada's ie prospects) and Bob Fowler (commission on broadeasting), Also stars in their moments were Davie Dunton, Liberal-appointed former head of the CRC, and Alan Jarvis, Lib. eral-appointed former director of our National Gallery who re: cently endeared himsell to all veterans by unpolitioally asserts ing that our National War Memon ial should be hidden from view with a suitable cover, Thus the Liberals have made the shift, from the old war horses to the younger men, not perhaps all young, but at least in thelr #08, FOR BETTER
