However before a snap judgment is made or we invision French- Janguage high schools in every town and city, The Guelph Mercury sug- gests a closer examination of the conditions with which the plan has been hedged. The first, dealing with the purely 'physical aspect of the matter, clear- igestates that the new schools will be located only in those areas where there are enough French-Canadian students to justify them. A second proviso is that. sufficient English be | taught to allow the students to be- come proficient in the language of the majority im-this province and the rest of the country with the ex- ception of Quebec. Under these conditions there { may be little real objection to the . plan. Provincial authorities' must feel there are enough French stu- dents in some areas to warrant the establishment of the separate schools, otherwise the 'plan would hardly have been initiated, With , the steady growth in enrolments in ; nearly every part of the province, 'Where The Yellow Went the extra schools can hardly be con- sidered an extra expense. The move also pulls the props out from under Quebec arguments that the French- Canadian outside Quebec is not giv- en equal edacational opportunity with his English-speaking cousin, The investigating committee will, nonetheless, not have an easy time deciding where the schools are to be established and 'justifying the choice. The commitee will have to overcome the natural objection that French-language instruction could easily be handled in schools already established. That would seem to be simply a matter of finding the staff, which will have to be done in any case with the new schools. It can be argued, too, that in Northern On- tario communities where French - Canadians predominate it would be easier and less costly to build separ- ate schools for the English. The feelings of French-speaking parents and students on the matter will also have to be considered, In- vestigators may discover that the French already have the best of two worlds -- free use of their native tongue at home and among friends with -English language instruction in the schools, The French may not be all that eager to lose such ob- vious bilingual advantages. The conclusion The Mercury reaches is sound: The committee faces a formidable task. The true value of the Robarts' plan cannot be judged until the committee has sub- mitted a report. in the color scheme for department vehicles. Pacing the current color change campaign are 25 white flush- er trucks and 100 broom vehicles. Sanitation Commissioner Kearing of New York is in full agreement with the designer, "White vehicles are much more attractive than yel- low ones, and just as visible," 'he asserts. With the water shortage in New York a thing of the past, daily washing of all equipment is to be carried out. Designer Kacik takes the position that vehicles are the primary state- ment of the sanitation department and that their image should be set first. So, in addition to the color change from yellow to white he has incorporated new and easier to rend signs, Hitherto, the machines carried the department's seal and the mouthful notice -- "City of New York Department of Sanitation. John V. Lindsay, Mayor; Joseph F. Periconi, Commissioner. A cleaner New York is Up to You." The new deal wipes all this. out and substitutes a simple identity -- "Sanitation" -- painted in black modern. type on the sides and back of the vehicles, " Puts Finger On Problem By DON O'HEARN RONTO--An extension of up gr Bhan Be of today's farmers has now! ordered, been formal The study is a continuation of the work done by Heédlin-Men- report weeweenad of es Kemp report presented a vile conference a few weeks aeey the time the study is com- pleted, or at least at a stage where it has some positive and~ well-founded recommendations to make, it will have cost seve eral hundred thousand dollars. This will not be a waste, Already the pvblic relations value of the work being inasmuch as it has begun to plant' the seed that a lot of today's farming and "ieee are not @ ic, has been vale uable. But from a letter I have received I have to wonder whether the government also mightn't spend a few thousand dollars to set up a committee of farm wives to give their solu- tions to the problem. BETTER COMPARISON This letter is from a farmer's wife in Georgetown and it refers to a piece that appeared in this space some time ago dealing with data on prices which had been released by the federal department of agricul- ture, One of the figures Ottawa presented was that in the past five years the price to farmers for milk for manufacturing had risen 80 per cent, from $2.62 to $4.64 a hundred-weight. The wife points out that this overlooks the fact that in 1952 the farmer got $3.10 a hundred, and 'that in the ten years between '52 and "62 the return actually dropped. Again, she points out that in *§2 the return on beef was 35-36 cents. While today, she claims, the farmer is lucky to get 29 cents. Further, that twenty years ago the price of wheat: was $2.20 a bushel, while today the net return to the grower is $1.62 These figures, of course, present quite a different picture than that painted by Ottawa. The farmer's wife also points out, of course, that farm hinery has i d 40 to 50 per cent in the past 10 years. Also that while we think of farmers having all their own "free" food, the normal farm no longer churns its own butter, bakes its own bread--or makes it own candles. The comment I personally like best in the letter refers to why farmers stay on the farm: 'With some, it is a way of life. A wonderful place to raise children where they are early taught to take pride in doing work," YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO, Sept. 1, 1947 Schools will open on Sept. 2 with an estimated enrolment of 3,000 public and 1421 0.C.V.L pupils.

'IT'S MY GOOD DEED' OTTAWA REPORT Extravagance In Embassy By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The flossy home and gilded office for our ambassador in Brazil deserves to hit the headlines again, 60 here's the story. Eleven years age, it was revealed that $341,327 had been spent to buy a residence for our amhassador in Rio de Janeiro, and another $94,695 to furnish it. That was a pretty steep bill for the taxpayers of Canada, but it became almost scandal- ous when it was realized that Brazil planned to move its seat of government from Rio to a new city named Brasilia two years later, which would require our embassy to move too. Until that palace had been purchased for our ambassador, a "suitable" house was rented fo him to live in, costing us the taxpayers a mere $2,400 per month. At the same time there was the hushed-up story of an alleged falsification of our account, which caused some $30,000 of our taxp2yers' money to disappear during the pur-, chase of that palace. Two members of the staff of our embassy. resigned from our _civil service following the expose of the Brazilian Affair, which was largely brougnt about by the sreuthing of Oxford MP Waljy Nesbitt, One of "Mbse resigning offi- cials charged that "the person- nel of the embassy are incom- petent, inefficient and extrava- gant, and show a complete lack of understanding of the value of the taxpayers' dollar."" Examples of that extrava- gance were two mirrors bought for $1,000 each; lamps for bed- room number 22, $301.50; furni- ture for the swimming pool gal- lery $1,898.61; power lawn mower, $675; and bedlinen and blankets $1,591. Those "were at 1956 prices! Since that little binge, a fur- ther $214,170 has been spent on capital items for the embassy, and now this year the govern- ment plans to spend a further $190,000 on starting a new embassy in Brasilia. In addi- $18.00 per year. U.S.A. ond foreign $27.00 per year. (BRvriMmENEH | enn NEAoAcnREEAN i ADMINISTRATIVE QUALITIES PRAISED MASTER OF WELL-TURNED PHRASE Roblin Takes His Politics Most Seriously By ALLEN SACKMANN WINNIPEG (CP )--Duff Roblin talked himself out of business and into politics at a house party The year was 1949 and he was founding off about Mani- toba's coalition, a govern- ment dominated by Liberal - Progressives with Conserva- tives holding secondary port folios. "So, there I was, giving vent to my emotions when somebody said, 'Well, if you're so disturbed about coa- lition, why don't you do some- ing about it instead of just griping?'" Displaying out-of-character brashness, the 32 - year - old bachelor went to a nominat- ing convention for the 1949 provincial election. He won and then squeaked into the Manitoba legislature as the fourth elected in a four-seat constituency. In the 18 succeeding years, the dapper native of Winnipeg has won every political prize he eyed. Now, at a youthful- looking 50, he is putting his unbeaten. streak on the line for the biggest prize of all in the Progressive Conservative Party--the national leader- ship. His administrative quali- ties, displayed since 1958 as premier, and his mastery of wel/-turned phrases are well known and often lauded. As early as 1956, another leader- ship year for national Con- servatives, a newspaper cor- respondent said the young Manitoban brought the party out of its dream world and another said he was the brightest recruit the party had had in 25 years. POLITICAL FAMILY Handsome in a boyish sort of. way, Mr. Roblin says a politician has to be "a little entertaining" on the hustings, but freely admits "I'm a bit of a dry stick." He takes poli- tics -- and himself -- seri- ously. Five years after first tast- ing public life, Mr. Roblin defeated Errick Willis in a bitter campaign to become provincial Conservative lead- er. Four years later, he led the party to office after a hurried but effective building campaign in his ranks. It was the -first Conserva- tive administration in 43 years but it maintained conti- nuity for the Roblin family. Sir Rodmond Duff's grandfather, was premier from 1900 to 1915. , Another Roblin ancestor sat in the Upper Canada assem- bly about 160 years ago and one was a member of the Union Parliament of 1840. Duff Roblin's father had no yen for politics, devoting his time to the legal profession and private business. For a time, it appeared Dufferin -- named after his grandfather's Manitoba con- stituency -- would follow his father's footsteps. After attending public school in Winnipeg; he hand-picked his university courses from three institutions and graduated from none. STARTED OWN FIRM He joined the army in 1939, switched to the air force and ended his military career as a squadron leader at the end of the war, Before and after the war, Mr, Roblin tried a variety uf occupations -- including farming -- before entering his father's automobile dealership. He used $7,000 to begin 2 manufacturing plant and had built it into a sas- cessful business when politics called. When he defeated Errick Willis, Mr, Roblin severed all his business connections to become, in his own words, a professional politician. He told party members on one occasion: "It's not enough to want to win, you have to deserve to win." ' Full-time devotion was one wd the ways of deserving to in. This single-mindedness heiped turn the young politi- cian into one of the province's most eligible bachelors. There was romance in the air, however, when Mr. Rob- lin was on the hustings in 1958. Just after his election, there was speculation that he was about to marry, But there was no confirma- tion from the rookie premier until Mary:MacKay's mother broke the news in Ottawa. At a quiet ceremony Aug. 30, 1958, the petite, pretty radio procucer became Mrs. Rob- WANTED MAJORITY Typically, Mr. Roblin was at his desk the day. before his wedding. But he took a week off for a. honeymoon before returning to prepare for his first legislative session. ' tion, the wages, allowances and office expenges of the ambassa- dor and his staff have risen from $214,641 last year to $367,000 this year, despite a cut in staff from 26 to 24 bodies. This jump of about 50 per cent in "the lack of understand- ing of the value of the taxpay- - ers' dollar" is of course not out of line with the Pearson pat- tern; but it is. surprising that not a single MP has yet attract- ed public notice to the second Brazilian spending spree. Why? Is such a lavish embassy set- up really necessary? Why does a $22,000 a year civil servant require a home and furniture costing $436,022? Does his boss, our foreign minister, have a similarly lavish furnished home provided by the taxpayers for him in Ottawa, so that he too can keep up with the diplomatic 2, No; the minister lives ie a rented apartment which he pays for himself. Those $367,000 in operating expenses work out to over $15,- 000 a year for each employee, including the janitor and the operator of that power mower. Much of this includes tax-free "representational allowance" for status-symbol wining and dining. If our staff in Brazil spent all that money in buying duty-free dipomatic gin at the price of $1.05 a bottle which diplomats here pay, thete would be _enough liquor to give a free cocktail to every .man and woman in Canada between the ages of 21 and 85, And the money would be as wisely spent, Prime Minister Pearson is worried because taxpayers are worried by the bills he presents to them. He could make a start by chopping at our diplomatic army, which scoff as." ellers." Not very good ones either; for they only helped Canada to sell one quarter of one per cent of our exports to Brazil last. year. Cornerstone Of Parliament Laid By Prince Of Wales By BOB BOWMAN There could be two headlines. for Sept, 1 exactly the same but referring to events in 1860 and 1919. They would be "Prince of Wales Lays Cornerstone of Par- liament Buildings." The cornerstone of Canada's first parliament was laid by Edward Prince of Wales who later became King Edward VII, He came to Canada in August 1860 to represent Queen Victo- ria at a number of important functtons. First he visited St, John's, Halifax, Saint John, and Charlottetown where there were almost hysterical receptions. They were outdone by. the reception at Quebec. So many people flocked into the old city that hotels charged $4 a day for rooms! John A. Macdonald and other Canadian representatives' who met the Prince of Wales on board the battleship Hero wore formal biue court dress, with cocked hats, and carried swords which dangled from their waists. The Toronto Globe reported unkindly that John A. had a difficult time walking because the swords keep getting tangled in the legs, especially after dinner. Although the Prince of Wales faid cornerstone ef parlia- ment on Sept. 1, 1860, there was a great Geal of doubt that Otta- wa would continue to be the capital of Canada, The inscrip- tion read "cornerstone of the building intended to receive the legislature of Canada." LOVED FUN Another fun-loving | Edward Prince of Wales laid the corner- stone on Sept. 1, 1919, It was actually the cornerstone of the Peace Tower. Prime Minister Sir Robert Borden handed him a trowel, mallet, and plumline triangle. The prince advanced to the stone, levelled the sur- face of the mortar, gave the stone three strokes with the mallet,-and declared it "well "For. by grace ne sae through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." 'Ephesians.2: 8,9 Salvation is on a free of charge, come as you are basis. and truly laid." Then he called for three cheers for King George. V. ' A sealed -box was placed under the stone. It contained a parchment outlining the story of Canada's parliament, names of the members, a set of. cdins, stamps, copies of the Ottawa newspapers, and invitations to the ceremony. Edward, Prince of Wales, saw some service with ' the Canadian Corps in the First World War, owned a ranch in Alberta, and is now the Duke of Windsor.

It ts called "'decasualization." Under an' order effective Sept. 18, it will end the-old system of casual labor for loading and unloading ships and put all the dockers on a straight weekly wage, This will be a basic £15 ($45), still below the national average of £20 ($60) for manual labor but an improved deal for' most of the cargo handlers. At present, they are paid £11 ($33) if they turn up for work daily and their normal earnings fail to reach that amount. Expectations are that the new system--product of a long study by a government-appointed committee--will add £11,000,000 ($33,000,000) to the annual ill for loading and unloading ships. It's an increase of about 18 per ent in cargo the 1 cross Britain' s artes yearly. While the labor department's prediction is that greater effi- ciency and reduced expenses will eventually develop, first reactions from several major rts has been to predict Increases ranging as 'igh as 30 per cent. for cargo-handiing charges, Applications to the govern- ment to allow boost« are already in from Manchester, Southampton and Hull. The dig- gest increases will be sought by ee common labor and. ports where work is slack and unproductive labor nas to be carried on the payroll--such as Scotland and northeast England --but even busy London is expected to raise charges by ground 10 per cent, The efficiencies are expected to result in several ways. One is that "port employers" --hir- ing agents for dock labor--are to be cut from around 1,500 to 350. Another is that manpowe; would be shu fled from surplus areas to ports where it can be used, Some other efficiency-aimed changes are projected but not yet accepted by labor, One is for 2,000 of the dockworkers over the age of 65 to be imme- diately retired instead of wait- ing for the currently compulso- ry 68. The unions are kicking at om and negotiations are still P haaliiéa sticking point is the ' government provision that under the new setup any man on the docks can be assigned any job. The ak 860 want some aboard-ship jobs reserved for themselves. There are miscellaneous lesser headaches for officials eharged with making the scheme work, For instance, South Wales dockers want dou- ble pay if--as often happens-- they work for two employers on the same day. Prospects are a new study of how the plan is operating and Sy realy made a month or so after 8 TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept, 1, 1967...
