He has informed the publicity department at Paramount that he won't pose for any gag pub- licity pictures. "I'm playing a serious part in the movies for the first time --and I'm being serious all the) way," vows Milton. Milton is so serious that he even let Peter Lawford top him| role is reminiscent of Jack Mul- hall, the old-time star who later became a maitre d' at a Sunset Strip restaurant. At this Milton said: "Back in 1921 when I was a kid star, Jack Mulhall auto- graphed a picture for me. It read: 'To Milton Berle, a future star.'"' At this, Lawford quipped: "Too bad it never came true." Milton smiled and said po- litely: '"'Funnee. Funnee." MORE EXPOSURE Then, as Milton resumed his Lawford com- |serious acting, Emmy nomination for his tele- vision role of Doyle Against the House, The public will see much more of Uncle Miltie this year. Since 1956, when he abdicated as king of television, NBC-TV has been paying Berle $125,000 a year as comedy consultant. The contract runs to 1981. "But they never consulted me," moans Milton. "So I vol- untarily took a cut in salary to get out of my exclusive NB |ful hints and quotes.

Parties and voting in Canada (Longmans, $5.50) analyses the last four federal elections and forecasts broad trends that could affect the outcome of fu- ture votes.

CRUCIAL LESSON "Here is a crucial lesson of the Diefenbaker interlude: "If any party coming to of- fice nationally does not do so with the support of elite opinion it must gain that support imme- diately and then hold it if it wishes to remain in office. "Diefenbaker did just the opposite, and what began as a great political success story was terminated rather abruptly in but a few short years." The author says the elite con- sists of the top men in business, the public service and politics. A heavy proportion is Protes- tant and of British origin with university education and drawn from wealthy families. This elite is more influential in Canada than in other ad- vanced countries, he argues. Its opinions filter down through Mr. Diefenbaker, although per- sonally more popular than "He's really changed for this | the rest of the population with radio and largely determine the election outcome in city constituencies. PREDICTS RESULTS Mr, Regenstreif interviewed} voters across Canada in the 1958, 1962 and 1963 election campaigns and wrote newspa- per articles predicting the re- sults with consistent accuracy, He is at it again this election. Mr. Regenstreif found that Canadian voters are highly vol- atile and becoming even more so. They switched parties in staggering numbers and only about one-quarter of the 265 seats in the Commons could be regarded as "safe" for any party. This led to instability in politics and in government. Few voters or social groups remained loyal to a particular society, whose origins are heav- ily British and either Anglican or, United Church, and whose orientations are central Cana- dian end meffopoiiten."" ALL NOT ROSY He says the Liberals do not enjoy the support of a majority of the electorate but between 1945 and 1963 they had pro- jected an image as the only) party that could form a govern-| ment with managerial compe-) tence. | But all was not rosy for the) Liberals: | "The Liberals were seriously | handicapped by Pearson's . . .| failure to generate a leadership appeal that matched Diefen- baker's. . . .

During » the current year a further in- * crease of 4,000 is anticipated with a total population in excess *-of 75,000 by the end of 1965. 7 Percentage-wise Oshawa is one of the fastest growing commun- ities in all of Canada. It is significant to note that two-thirds of the population in- crease is housed in single fam- ily. homes and the remainder in apartment units. The building ratio of single family homes and apartment units is almost 50.50, a trend in Canadian develop- ment from coast to coast.
