crescent dear sir allow me to congratulate you on the wonderful unity which you achieved in the com position of the frort page of last weeks herald at the top of the page introducing the theme of unreality were displayed pictures of a disaster which never occurred at the bottom of the page emphasiz ing the humorous theme of makebelieve there appeared pictures of youngsters in hal loween costumes finally and centrally located inscribed in boldface ever so type were the headlines synthesizing perfectly the tradition of make believe and the tragicomic practise of witch hunting in the twentieth century the beauty of it escaped me for some time i will admit af ter reading about a well writ ten document and a lot of sense i became angry and then puzzled the question which plagued me was this why would the recommenda tions of the esquesing council appear as front page headlines after rereading the article and noting that the hardhit ting clauses bore remarkable resemblance to tho formula- ted in george orwells animal farm t rephrased the ques tion why would these recom mendations appear as news then in a visionary flash that at some time or another illumines the perceptions of every one save perhaps rural councillors the beautiful irony of the front page was revealed to mel in celebration of halloween following the occult practices which invert order and normal systems of values the her ald had assembled on the front page an assortment of trivia which asserted collective ly that things are not what they seem an entire page of nonews when playing halloween pranks however i would coun sel the newspaper to be caut ious remember the panic caus ed by the radio broadcast of orson welles martian invas ion people believed what they had heard if the people who read ab out chopping and freezing wages get the idea that some level of government can drasti cally reduce or freeze the sal aries of a group whose average wage increase last year was about 8 wont they as con struction workers electricians plumbers airline pilots and other groups who received wage increases from 11 to 25 begin to worry about the future of their own income if the people of esquesing reflect on cr marshalls statement that he has finally offered something constructive wont they also begin to wonder about the quality of the councillors jud gement if the electors begin to suspect that release of cere bral energy occurs at those council meetings they may el ect people equipped for the task i dont think it would be fair to put the people and the coun cillors to the test in the name of common sense reveal your uttle hoax i thank you again for such a creative display of unity co herence and relevance on the front page of the herald as a seasonal edition it should be a prize winner

to attend jim snow reports halton east mpp it is now two weeks since a new set of rules on proced ures for the transacting of the business of the province has been introduced into the ont ario legislature these new procedures arfrj the result of the report of a select committee appointed last june to study our proced ures and recommend changes many of these changes have been adopted and implemented and- my observation is during this past two weeks since their introduction that the business of the province is being cond licted in a much more orderly and efficient manner the estimates of the differ ent government departments rather than having to all be de bated in the full committee of the whole house are now be ing considered in both the full committee and in the govern ment standing committees the estimates of the depart ment of agriculture and food were referred by the legislat ure to the standing committee on agriculture and food and were examined by that commit tee while at the same time the estimates of the attorney gen erals department were comp leted in le committee of the whole house two other departments have now been referred to the stan ding committees these being the dept of education estim ates and the estimates of the dept of highways five prominent businessmen and five civil servants have been appointed by provincial treas urer charles
