| REPORT FROM PARLIAMENT By MICHAEL STARR, MP Minister of Labor cusations and ound By Tradition As Others Campaign OTTAWA (CP)--Three Con ment, until retirement to some gervative MPs, the prisoners of senior diplomatic or vice-regal idly members sitting fellow tradition, are while their stump for votes in the general from act election expected later year. The three are the officers of the Commons-- Speaker D. Roland Michener and his deputies, Paul Martin eau and Gordon Chown, Tradi tion requires from them abso jute impartiality on political questions. They can't set out on the campaign trail until the house is dissolved and an elec- tion called. Mr. Michener, 61, first elected to the Commons in Tor- onto St. Paul's in 1953, will run for Parliament again and has a constituency organization working for him. But he has not yet been formally nominated and will not attend political meetings until the election is announced. The Liberal and Social Credit parties have already nominated candidates to run against him Liberal Ian Whan, 46, a Sas- katchewan born lawyer and Rhodes scholar has been cam- paigning actively for almost two years. Mr. Michener, inci-/ dentally, was secretary of the Rhodes scholarships committee for Canada when Mr. Whan won his in 1937. NO PERMANENT SPEAKER Mr. Martineau, MP for Pon- tiac-Temiscamingue in Quebec, and Mr. Chown, MP for Winni-' started peg South, also expect two or more candidates to oppose} them. The contest in St. Paul's ap- pears to dim any chance that Mr. Michener may be named permanent Speaker of the Com- mons The Canadian practice has been to alternate the speaker- ship 'with each new Parliament between English - and French- speking MPs. The speaker is nominated by the government party and elected by the Com- mons The last Speaker to serve more than one normal term was one of the Commons' greats, Hon. Rodolphe Lemieux, from March, 1922, to June, 1930. In addition to serving the pre- sent Parliament since 1958, Mr. Michener was Speaker for the one-session Parliament between the 1957 and 1958 general elec- tions Prime Minister Diefenbaker had hoped to break with tradi- tion and achieve the permanent speakership -- an idea nearly everyone on Parliament Hill favors--by nominating an oppo- sition member in 1957. KNOWLES SAID NO He offered the nomination to Stanley Knowles, then CCF MP for Winnipeg North Centre and generally regarded as the most expert member on Parliamen tary procedure Mr. Knowles, however clined on grounds he de the non-partisan post defeted in 1958 and now is vice-president of the Canadian Labor Congress. He was one of the founding fathers of the New Democratic Party and has an nounced he will leave the CLC _tg stand for election to Parlia- ( tnent Mr. Diefenbaker's that if Mr. Knowles had ac cepted the precedent would have created a permanent speakership In the United Kingdom, the Speaker is customarily granted acclamation. He serves through several Parliaments, even He was view was presiding Speaker by post they are prevented ive political campaign Since this ing and from expressing parti viewpoints, how do the and his deputies in Canada keep their political rec- ords and names alive among the constituents on whom they must depend for re-election? san WRITE LETTERS All three men maintain a large volume of correspondence They are not prevented from dealing with immigration, taxa tion, pensions and other prob- lems referred to them by their constituents Mr. Michener has attended a large number of banquets and other functions in Toronto St Paul's arranged by non-political but politically important groups, such as associations of various ethnic groups. He keeps in close but private touch with his con- stituency executive. Mr. Martineau, 40, was ap- pointed Deputy Speaker this session after serving more than two years as one of Mr. Diefen- baker's parliamentary secretar- ies. In his former capacity, he was active in partisan politics publicly on behalf of the prime minister and the Conservatives in not only his own riding but In other parts of uebec and eastern Ontario, He continues to make fort- nightly broadcasts to his riding, | would John have to leave CCF activity for stoned chapel stands in a se-\years to stir some bencher.

There may be a third from the NDP Mr. Chown, who in August, will probably have two opponents ing the Liberal party and the NDP, in Winnipeg South His position, however, is not quite so hemmed in by restric tions since the assistant deputy speaker -- more correctly, the deputy chairman of committees of the whole House--is elected by the Commons on a sessional basis, rather than for the life of the whole Parliamen But to carry out the spirit of the job, Mr. Chown has adhered to the principles followed by his seniors. In line for the deputy speakership in the next Parlia ment if the Conservatives are re elected, Mr. Chown sub scribes to the view that the pre siding officers of the House must not engage In partisan politics He does not attend Conserva tive caucus meetings or speak at political gatherings.

TAKE A VIRUS The T4D is a virus 100 genes -- or units of hered- ity. A bacterial cell has 10,000 genes, a human cell about 1,000,000 But Dr. Robert S. Edgar of the California Institute of Technology is hoping the } puny virus and its genes will teach him something of the heredity in individual cells. The T4D could never re- produce. But when it meets a bacterial cell, the tail jabs in like a hypodermic needle and injects the nucleic acids. These bits of genetic mem- ory take over the cell and convert its production line to making more virus. By destroying certain links in the chains of genes of the viruses, Edgar has been able to learn more about them, where they occur and what some of them do, thereby get- ting some clues to heredity in humans and animals.

ALL FOR THE CHURCH 'The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor -civili- zation can survive, There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake, (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community | and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his- moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, Merch 24, 1962 7 Se YY, Here and there America is building modernistic churches, will lead'... or whether it yet should be called a trend. No one's quite sure where the trend But the thousands. who have wor- shipped in these contemporary sanctu- aries seem certain of this: The new archi- tecture hasn't changed the age-old faith, Christianity has known many forms of worship, many terms of expression. But there has always been Unity un- derlying diversity. Christians worship the same God and Lord; they revere the same Cross; they search the same Scrip- tures. Through human architects who exe press their devotion in different forms, The Divine Architect is pointing all men to the spire of Faith.
