newspapers across produced questions from MP Rud Whiting in parliament recently He asked for an explanation of the deluge of mail from federal government departments Mr Whiting placed the following questions on the Commons Order Paper How many newspapers across Canada both weeklies and dailies received unsolicited material such as newsletters press releases books and other St Louis midget champs

respective departments to produce this material in the year 1968 and 1969 How much of a saving could be realized by these departments apart from mailing costs if these unsolicited services to newspapers were cancelled It is now incumbent upon Communications Minister Eric to answer them although in view of the statistical nature of the information requested it may be weeks before Mr Whiting
