Farmers Union It can be argued with considerable justification that the, primary pro- ducer is very much the forgotten man in the matter of the spread of prices between the cost of produc- tion to the farmer and the price paid to the consumer. Many factors may contribute to the spread. They can include trans- portation, grading, packaging, the many steps in handling between the producer and the consumer, mark- ups at the wholesale and the retail levels. Whether the spread that re- sults is warranted is certainly open to question. It will, in fact, be officially ques- tioned:in the near future by the Senate - Commons committee charged with the investigation of inflationary pressures. The threat being made by the On- tario Farmers' Union of a farm strike "right across the board" is likely to bring little popular support to the producers' cause. The Far- mers' Union intends to take a strike vote in November of its estimated 40,000 members. It would cover not only the milk producers but also those involved in the production of beef and cash crops. It should be apparent to the OFU, as The London Free Press points out that unless agriculture as a whole supports such a food strike, it cannot possibly succeed, First, non-participants would make a strike attempt only a token effort. The OFU would also penalize all producers by opening the floodgates to massive U.S. imports that other- wise would not be required. A third point made is that there is no less favorable time which could have been chosen for a strike than the early winter month of November. All things considered, the strike threat appears to be a foolish, if not a dangerous tactic. In their road- blocking antics this summer, farm- ers lost rather than gained popular support. The proposed strike will only further alienate public opinion. The Ontario Farmers' Union can spend its time to much greater ad- vantage in preparing a strong pre- sentation for the parliamentary ir- quiry into their very real problem than by threatening the public gen- erally with a shortage of foodstuffs, Centennial Contribution To Canadians preparing for their country's Centennial Year a rose is a rose, as Gertude Stein put it, does not hold true. A particular rose has become aspecial symbol of our Cen- tennial Year.

But the brilliant réd of the multi- flora bloom was more in keeping with the colors selected for Can- ada's new flag and it therefore won the votes of 12,000 fanciers. The idea of the rose caught on across Canada, since it was decided that the profits from the sale of the bushes should be devoted to some worthwhile charity. All profits inciuding ihe trade mark licenses for firms wishing to incorporate the rose idea into their packaging and advertising, will be turned over to the Canadian Cen- tennial Rose Foundation which will devote the money to a program of research by the Canadian Associa- tion for Retarded children. It is expected that by the end of 1967, $150,000 will go for this purpose. Many rose enthusiasts in Oshawa undoubtedly have already placed a Centennial Rose in a place of prom- inence in their garden. They can display the brilliant blooms with pride. For them and the many more who'll be planting them next spring, there'll be the warm satisfaction of knowing they're celebrating the Centennary and at the same time contributing. to a worthwhile cause. DOWNWARD TREND FOUND IN LIBERAL, TORY SUPPORT By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) Although, as reported earlier this year, Canadian voters give majority support to a two-party system in federal politics, they do not necessarily mean the two old-line parties. If an election were held today, as many of them would support the New Nemorratic Party as at anv time in the histarv of that party. The NDP's, which polled 12 per cent of the popular vote in the 1963 election, and nearly 18 per cent in 1965, today would receive slightly over 21 per cent. Basis for this statement is a regular check on the political pulse of the nation, taken by the Institute, through a carefully balanced cross-section of eligible voters from coast to coast, each of whom was asked: "If a federal election were held today, which party's candidate do you think you would favor ? The trend of public opinion, since the election in November of last year, can be seen from the following table: And NDP Others Conser- F Liberals vative Election: November 1965 .... 40% 3 18% 9% SOMUATY WG cicisrcrccscccess 28 21 7 TARY, 6 ss covcvins » 41 30 19 10 38 30 20 12 37 32 21 10 Excluded from the above tables are those who are uncertain at the moment which party they would support. Currently this group constitutes 30 per cent of the eligible voters of the nation, down sharply from the high of 40% reported last July. The decline shown above in the support behind the Liberal party would have been even sharper were it not for the fact that in Quebec Province, this party showed a gain in popular Support in the current poll. However, this gain was offset by losses elsewhere. The increase of two percentage points shown for the Conser- vative party is centered mainly in Western Canada, where Liber- al support shows a drop, resulting in a gain for Conservatives and NDP's, The Conservatives also show gains in federal party support and the Liberals some loss in the province of Ontario. It is in this province that the New Democrats get their greatest support -- about three in ten of those eligible voters who have made up their minds, In Ontario, Liberals are at well on to a four-in-ten level of support, while conservatives are only slightly higher than the NDP. ; READERS WRITE... from 'thet. peguemet, 1 oapgiet m se) .

The answer: Nothing, unless the regional municipalities want it to happen. They can make it happen by applying to the Ontario Legis- lature for a bill to accomplish what they would like to see done in their own particular bailiwick. The government may prod a little here and there, gently and subtly, but will not initiate any drastic reform by forcing mar- riages on municipalities. It was local impetus, for example, that led to the formation by provin- eink -statite:ct. Maten "Taronts, and the statute was later amended only after a royal commission inquiry, extensive hearings, and local complain's and demands. Starting in 1964, pilot studies of local government in four re- gions were organized by the municipal affairs department in co-operation with the muni- cipalities concerned. The for- mal requests for the studies came from the municipalities. Two of the studies have been completed. The report on the Ottawa, Eastview and Carleton County review was made last year; the report on the Niagara Region last month, and next 'Thursday evening in Oakville the report on the Peel - Halton region will be made public, The fourth report, on the Port Arthur - Fort William region, is not expected until mid-De- cember. Dr. Lorne Cumming, former deputy minister of municipal affairs and now special advisor to Municipal Affairs Minister J. W. Spooner, points out that in three cases, regional municipal- ities have time to seek legisla- tion at the session of the Legis- lature starting- next January -- if they so desire. The procedure would be to apply for a private bill, which is given first reading in the Legislature and then handed over to the Legislature's pri- vate bills committee for thor- ough study. It is at the hear- ings of the private bills com- mittee that the public can have its say, for or against. Many a private bill is amended or kill- ed at this stage, before being reported back to the House for dcbate- or TGuiiiie passage. There is no indication at this time that the municipalities in the study areas will take ad- vantage of the legislative route. Ottawa, Eastview and Carle- ton County municipalities have had more than a year to con- sider what they might do about the recommendations in the re- view of their area, But the ideas of Special Commissioner Murray Jones were fairly rad- ical -- and as indigestible to some. of the experts in the mu- nicipal affairs department as to the local municipal representa- tives. The report of Special Com- missioner Henry Mayo on the Niagara Region appeared to be more acceptable to most of the area municipalities and to the "unofficial" department critics. Dr. Mayo is not only thorough- ly conversant with the physical aspects of the Niagara Penine sula but subtly and intelligently aware of the social, human fab- tic of the region. QUEBEC EDITORS COMMENT A WRETCHED RECORD SEEN Diefenbaker Urged 'To Give Up His Place' This is a selection of ed- itorials on current topics, translated from the French- a eee sanguage pitss ti Usaaua, Moncton L'Evangeline -- The new crisis shaping up over the leadership of the political parties in Canada . » » was initiated by the na- tional president of the Pro- gressive Conservative party, Mr. Dalton Camp, when he said in a Toronto speech that the leadership of the two main parties should be re-ex- amined democratically. This was enough to revive an internal quarrel in the Conservative party. . . . It is mot the first time that Mr. Diefenbaker finds himself in hot water with his party. However, he cleverly pulled through in the past... and ft is precisely this stubborn- Sess that cost the party vic- tory in the last genera! elec- tion The Canadian people have ot found the leadership they needed in the two old parties in the last 10 years, It is therefore only normal and logical that people with the progress of the country and their party at heart would want to revive the leadership question regularly... . The National Liberal Fed- eration has already made known that the leadership is- sue may be discussed at a forthcoming meeting of the party. It's quite possible that Mr. Pearson himself will. re- alize he is not the best leader in the world and that he must think of the day when he will cede his place to a more dy- namic leader, and that for the good of the country. . . A dictatorship as rigid and @ record as wretched as that of Mr. Diefenbaker should make intelligent people in the party think. It will be up to tiem to judge the opportune moment to inject new blood. It appears that this t has arrived and that Mr. Die- fenbaker should give up his place. . . .--Bernard Poirier (Sept. 23 Quebec L'Action --Premier Daniel Johnson has said that "if our young people feel it is not possible to live a full life in keeping with their tra- ditional cultural formation, then Canada will be doomed." In effect, if it is only within the geographic interior of his province that the young Que- becer can develop himself, he will instinctively entrench himself in this shelter and will refuse to recognize that his country can be anything other than Quebec. Conse- quently, he will begin to ask himself: Why permit a for- eign culture to develop among us when our own culture is not fully recognized beyond our boundaries? French- and English-speak- ing people will never speak the same cultural language in Canada; at best they can reach common terms of un- derstanding, an average standard: biculturalism .But we think of biculturalism in the universal sense of the word, fully recognized every- where in Canada, and not of a selfish and niggardly bi- culturalism whose application would be limited to one prov- ince, to a few isolated areas where the majority are French-speaking.

It is within the framework of this responsibility that the concept of co-operative feder- alism must provinces are not unaware of Says Mr. stressing:that the recent pro- posals Finance Minister Sharp made to the fiscal conference did not run counter to this general rule. In fact, in the opinion of Mr. Pearson, co- operative federalism exist except within a perspec- tive sf co-operation with the provinces. Certainly it is difficult to contradict the prime minister on this point. Co-operation is at-the very foundation of the concept of Confederation. In the present perspective of fed- eral - provincial relations, if Ottawa were to abandon its constitutional responsibility or refuse to recognize those of provinces, would not be able to exist But it is precisely on that point that disagreeinent arises. mand. hiolag- in view of still The provinces don't want to take any power away from the central government; they simply -want-to-sce the fiscal pie divided according to the responsibilities of the superior government and those of the provinces. ---Rolland Gagne (Sept. 23) Montreal La Presse -- We have known about it for a Mr. Pearson said work and the Pearson, cannot federation long time, but who ever spoke about it? To sleep gently in silence along comes Quebec's minis- ter of lands and forests, Mr. Claude G. Gosselin, and he rather brusquely awakens cer- tain "sleepers," who soon will be faced with unaccustomed problems. For how many decades we don't know, Quebec's unfin- ished lumber has been going elsewhere in the country where, naturally, its finishing has built up a flourishing in- dustry. Well the minister has firmly decided to stop this hemorrhage. . . . Mr. Gosselin is not launch- ing a war against anyone. He simply intends, through a flexible policy . . it that shipments of unfinished lumber outside our territory are subjected to a serious con- trol so that a finishing indus- try can become as flourish- ing in Quebec as it is else- where. That is all, but it is an enormous step. . . . In any case, if it is per- mitted to say that it is urgent that the government intervene and put an end to the ship- ment outside of Quebec, it is be- cause notice has been taken of an absolutely deplorable state of affairs which must stop. ..

Jac- ques. Cartier was the first European to see Montreal. It was during his second voyage to Canada in 1535. On his first voyage Cartier went up the St. Lawrence only as far as Gaspe, and he took two sons of an Indian chief back to. France. They learned to speak French well enough to tell fabulous stories about the great com- munities Stadacona and Hoche- laga farther up the river. They said the natives were rich, well-dressed and had gold and silver. King Francis lost no time getting Cartier away on another expedition because he was envious of the riches Spain was getting from: South America. Cartier was so impressed by the Indian stories that he thought Stadacona and Hoche- Jaga might be in China, and that he had found the short route there. Imagine his dis- appointment when he got to Stadacona, now Quebec, and found that it consisted of a few cabins instead of being an eastern city. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 1, 1966... Sir William Mulock, pi- oneer of empire-wide penny postage, died 22 years ago today--in 1944 -- aged 100, Though he did not enter Ca- nadian politics until 1882 or become a minister until he was 52, Mulock became a legend in his own time be- ' cause of his alert mind and ' great age.

However, he took his small- est ship, Petite Hermine, and sailed up the river to Hoche- laga, although Chief Donna- cona at Stadacona tried to per- suade him not to go. The Indians along the shores of the river had never seen ships big- ger than canoes, and were amazed at the Petite Hermine which seemed to fly along the water with great white wings. Hochelaga, now Montreal, turned out to be just another Indian village. However, the natives were friendly and re- garded Carier as a god. They brought their sick people to Cartier believing that he canld heal them. While he was at Hochelaga Cartier climbed Mount Royal and could see. the country for miles around. The Indians in- dicated that gold and silver could be found but Cartier did not have time to do more ex- ploring. It was necessary to hurry back to Stadacona to build winter quarters. However he did write a complete de- scription of Hochelaga and its people in his diary. The strange thing is that when Champlain got there near- ly 100 years later, Hochelaga had disappeared completely. No trace of the original.village has ever been found, Some his- torians believe that Cartiers' description was exxagerated to impress King Francis.

(CP) -- The Soviet Union is getting ready to enter the automobile age in a big way. But a massive increase in passenger car output will not all go to meet domestic demand. A hefty slice is earmarked for ex- port. \ Production of passenger cars, now a little more than 200,000 a year, is to increase fourfold in the next five years. was the signing of an agree- ment with Fiat of Italy for construction of a big motor works at the Volga River town of Togliatti, formerly called Stavropol. The plant will cost $800,000,- 000 and produce 600,000 modi- fied Fiats a year. It is scheduled to be operating at full capacity by 1972. While planning to produce va- riations of the Fiat for the home market, however, Russia hopes to boost exports of its own cars --the Volga, Moskvich and Za- porozhets. TO TREBLE EXPORTS Viadimir Petrov, chairman of the state organization that han- dies foreign sale of cars, has predicted exports will more than treble during the next five years. In 1964, according to official figures, the Soviet Union ex- ported 44,500 cars, compared with 35,700 the year before. Figures for 1965 are not yet available but, assuming that a comparable increase occurred, the number of cars exported last year was about 53,000. If exports are to treble in five years, possibly 159,000 cars will AGREE ON OFFENCE LONDON (Reuters)--An_all- party parliamentary committee agreed Thursday that homosex- ual behavior should continue to be an offence in Britain's armed services. The homosexual ques- tion was considered because of a non-government bill now go- ing through Parliament which would legalize homosexual acts between consenting males in private in civilian life, have to be siphoned from in- creased over-all production and sent abroad. More than half of Russia's Passenger car exports in 1964 went to Communist countries, but they were also marketed in a number of non - Communist countries, notably Finland which bought 6,172. East Germany was the big- gest purchaser of all, having taken 8,245, © 4 VOLGA IS COMPACT Capitalist' countries besides Finland to which Soviet cars were exported included Bel- gium, The Netherlands, Den- mark, Austria, Norway and France. Of the three Soviet export models the largest is the Volga, about the size of a North Amer- ican compact though built much higher. The smallest is the tiny Zaporozhets. Passenger car production has 'traditionally had low priority in the Soviet automotive field, where the emphasis has always been on trucks. The measures to increase car production are viewed by qual- ifiéd observers as a carefully- planned attempt to introduce a whole wide range of new in- dustrial skills and techniques into the Soviet economy. There have been suggestions that in the next 10 to 15 years, several new car plants will be built, each producing not less than 80,000 to 100,000 machines annually, Some or all would be built by Western automotive firms. forcement dollar. The highway police know what is needed, but they lack the courage to jeop- ardize their high careers by speaking up, they have turned their efforts to getting on the promotion skyrocket. One detachment is used for turning Sergeants into Sergeant Majors. There have been four Sergeants transferred to this Detachment in the past two years, they stay for six months becoming a Staff Sergeant because the Detachment is ovet forty men, then they are trans- ferred out as Sergeant Major, Thousands of tax dollars are used for the Air Patrol which is supposed to be effective. A policeman with one year's ex: perience can confirm that on¢ unmarked police car is much more effective, at a fraction of the cost. The politicians use the Air Patrol to make the tax payer think that they are pro- gressive and trying, the Air Patrol is more newsworthy. They use unmarked cars and diiivers ia' piain cioines io eny force the Liquor Laws which most people think antiquated, but for offences that kill, injure and maim, they use gaily - marked cars that can be seen for miles, and when they use radar they put out a sign to warn the offender that the radar is ahead, in case he might not see the radar car that must: be parked in plain view. What kind of thinking author- izes the use of a cruiser without a red dome light to make a special effort on bus drivers, because of one recent fatal accident involving a bus, Why not use unmarked cruisers and get to work on the un- disciplined drivers who kill 25 to 40 people a week, every week and is on the increase.
