One aspect of the welfare de- partment, looki: side and one which pleases the administrator, is the aid given to keep students in high school, This aid amounts to $64.85 a month for each student.

When asked if the thieves |could have broken into the vault |Mr. Flintoff said he could: not say for sure but added that if the bank was to be moved from its present site contract-| jors would soon be able to break] jout the vault. The inference was that thieves could do it too. | The tunnel was first discov- }ered by George A. Semeniuk of 872 Myers street, a part owner of the vacant house located at) 21 Wilson road south.

PARLIAMENT REPORT Bill's Clauses By MICHAEL STARR, MP A Bill, C-121, has been passed, providing credit to farm ma- chinery syndicates. This is a new Bill which provides for an agreement in writing and ap- proved by the Farm Credit Cor- poration, between not less than thi.e individuals, the majority of whom are farmers. The legislation underwent criticism, not on the principle of the Bill- to provide credit for purchasing machinery, but on certain clauses contained in the Bill, At the present time a farmer can obtain credit for buying machinery through a Farm Im- provement Loan the Farm Credit Corporation, and the In- dustrial Development Bank. The new Act will add little to these sources of credit, es- pecially for the small farmer. One important factor is that the interest rate, combined with the service charge, will be higher than the interest charged under the Farm Improvement Loan. Each farmer taking part in the syndicate will have to sign a Promissory Note, in which he undertakes joint responsibility for the amount of the loan. He naturally will have to have enough security to meet the Corporation requirements, The Bill is not compulsory but is placed on the statute books to be available to. those who decide to take advantage of its provisions and form such a syndicate. One of the chief topics of comment and conversation on Parliament Hill, and in most places in Canada, is the subject of "reforming Parliament'. Most seem to think that Par- liament has suddenly become a place where Members do noth- ing but wrangle endlessly over 'politics', waste the taxpayers' money and get nothing done. Everyone is for reforming Par- liament but very tew have of- fered suggestions as to just what should be done, Parlia- ment has become the object of short business meeting. gibes and ridicule by writers Draw Criticism MICHAEL STARR of articles, if and when they are at a loss for a subject to write about. : OTHER VIEWS It seems to me that few. peo- ple realize the function of Par- liament and the rules under which it operates. Rules have te be revised from time to time to fit certain conditions. These changes are made with cau- tion, having in mind that the privileges of. Members, as re- presentatives of the people, are not infringed upon. Once these rules are changed, it then be- comes very difficult to revert them back to their original state if experience proves that the change is detrimental. The difficulties in the main lie in our present multi-party House of Commons. Before any serious attempt is made to change or undermine the 'Rules of Parliament that have grown up, as a result of years of experience and which ensure freedom of speech, it might be well to ascertain whe- ther we will continue to be a multi-party Parliament, or a two-party system for which these rules were designed. To the people of Oshawa: "We are again being asked to respond to the annual ap- peal of the Greater Oshawa Community Chest. "We in Oshawa may be proud of the fine reputation of generosity and concern for the needs of others as year after year we prove our de- sire to make our community a better place to live by reaching the Community Chest campaign goal, "The objective this year is $275,900 -- up $14,100 from 1963. This money will go to 20 local agencies whose job it is to help the young and old, the destitute, the handicapped and those unable to stand up to life without. assistance. These agencies request our help only once a year, but their job goes oh every day. "The Greater Oshawa Com- munity Chest needs our help and support even more this year, Time is short and the need great. Let us make our response quickly and gener- ously so that the'many worth- while agencies can continue their work. Give what you can. Be ready when the Com- COL, McLAUGHLIN munity Chest canvasser visits you between October 15 and November 2.

McLaughlin." | | 'Supersonic aircraft, cruising at 2,000-miles-an-hour, may be in operation in the mid 1970's," said Ernest W. Wakefield, Rep- resentative of Canadian Paci- fie's Public Relations and Ad- vertising Department, Montreal, in an address to the Westmount Kiwanis Club, at noon today. Speaking of the sub- jject, 'Transportation Tomor- row," Mr. Wakefield said that "Canadian Pacific had signed an agreement with the . United States Federal Aviation Agency for three delivery positions in the supersonic line-up." 'The move ensures Canada will have one of its major international air-carriers in the line-up for the new plane,' he continued. |"It- will also mean that Cana- dians will be able to fly in sqersonics operated by. a Ca- nadian airline." Mr. Wakefield briefly outlined the progress Canada had made since Confederation, and point- ed out "'that the building of Can- ada's first transcontinental rail- road, Canadian Pacific, consti- tutes the sole case in history of the creation of a nation by the construction of a railroad." Referring to the railroads as transportation's' giant, Mr. Wakefield outlined the major developments in building a new era of railroad service to Can- ada during the last decade.

Drynan, chair- man of the board announced Stresses Role Of Railways 90 per cent of all inter-city pas- senger miles in 1963, and the large increase in the utilization of trucks, Mr. Wakefield point- ed out that the nations had to face a very serious problem in the years to come. The speaker compared the number of trucks, truck drivers, and helpers it jwould take to handle the ton- |nage of a 100-car freight train, and said, "that nothing yet de- vised or even imagined by man can carry as much traffic at one time as a string of cars on a track.'"' "Railroads," he said, "are the only mass producers of transportation that are nation- wide in extent, and which can economically; dependably and continuously haul all types and quantities of traffic between any combination of points." He said that the railroads would continue to be transpor- tation's giant for many years to come.
