makes them appear ridiculously easy although there are numerous little details and large amount of prepara tion which go into each clinic mrs finlaya flair for organization and her choice of helpers creates a cheerful climate which could be widely emulated by clinics elsewhere the success of the affairs is meas ured by the number who attend and donate the most recent one was an other success numerically and the num ber of repeat donor is high which speaks highly for the efficiency of those in charge there us another facet of the clinics which must go unmeasured however even though it may be more important that is the willingness of so many peo ple to go through the discomfort slight as it is for the benefit of other people some of them have probably benefitted personally from transfusions and feel obligated but there are r many who donate solely in concern for their neigh bor even though theyll never know who he is ditorial page aforae publicity jfv cxpc one actonian of french extraction ismorehan rllttle miffed at the ad verse publicity accommodations for ex po have been receiving at the hands of the daily press in toronto marc laferriere suspects there is jealousy involved because montreal ra ther than toronto was selected as the site for the exposition this he feels is coloring the truth of the matter his view conflicts partly with a re cent report by the canadian automobile association which made a comparative study and found rates would be hiked an average of 4 a day for a double room however marc had some proof for his case and he produced it it consisted of a letter from a small montreal hotel he had written the week before confirming reservations for a double room at a cost of 8 it is clean comfortable and recently done over said marc but the best thing is it is only a block from st catharines street and the metro which takes you right to expo he admitted the rates had doubled from the usual 4 a day to 8 but felt the cost would be more in the neigh borhood of 5 because of a recent quebec government ruling forbidding surcharges over 15 percent most of his satisfaction came from the speed with which he received a reply confirming good accommodation was still available right on expos door step when toronto newspapers were proclaiming montreal was all booked up- recent charges of official complicity in pocketting deposits were featured on front pages but when top expo brass said they were without foundation the item was buried in the back pages these and many other such hints make one wonder if some people wouldnt be glad to see expo a financial flop rather than a crowning achieve ment for centennial year canadians will be proud to realize that this exhibition of 1967 was done by canadians it is not a frenchcan adian exhibition and it not an english- canadian exhibition it was made pos sible by the mixture of both cultures in this great national achievement said philippe de gaspe beaubien dir ector of operations

enter tainment and a credit to all who organ ized and participated in it the elabor ate costumes done mainly by mothers of skaters reflected pride in their work and an artistic sense which blended into the centennial year theme the revue was certainly the most lavish and pretentious centennial event in this dis trict to date housing costs increased significant ly in 1966 while the index of prices of residential building materials increas ed by only 22 per cent from 1965 to 1966 theindex of wage rates for build ing labor went up by 120 per cent over the same period before marriage a girl

cabinet which was relegated to such tasks as studying the immediate hous ing bill introduced in 1968 and the old age unemployment act prepared in 1969 but it didnt take long joe had handpicked his

a communist plot to take over the country next day the full story came out in all media and the honorable joe was lauded for the speed and decision with which hp had handled the emergency there wasnt an iota of resistance parliament was on holidays the prime minister was ill and in seclusion the universities were closed so there were no students protests the mounties and militia had long since been disbanded as needless expense everything was perfectly calm bus iness as usual most canadians were starting their holidays a few noticed that there were a lot of new radio and tv announcers and
