is a permit to dive with a sense of responsibility rot a license to kill while recognizing that insurance copnies are not infallible and have a responsibility to provide insurance cov erage for all drivers we fail to see how government can take over aijfo insurance and operate any more beneficially than the private insurers the build up of a bjreauracy that foiows government in- rerveruiort in any field would provide another great nesting ground for rredi- ccracy to think that insurance would be cheaper under goverrrenr operation is just wistful thinking it right be sub sidized but it wont be any cheaper hamkoff senator frank vcss of utah has be fore the us senate a resolution that the matter of northward flowing rivers in canada be referred to the interna tiona i joint commission this the financial post comments is clearly an attempt to change existing international iaw and bring canadas purery national waters under interna- tiociat jurisdiction it could be lightly dismissed as just another in a series of ar erlcan r eves o remedy its water supoy pcbers wifn canadian water i t were not for sorrre unsettling re- rrarks ade during the iast federal elec tion the prire minister stated then that water could be as important an export as wheat and well be discussing this with the us which is very anxious to work out arrangements by which some of our water resources are moved down south what did the pm mean and where does he stand on the issue of selling wafer versus developing water resources for our own use water once diverted from canada must be controlled and control will in practice always be exercised by the user that the financial post states means us control nobody questions the sale of surplus wheat to russia apparently because 1 we have more wheat over and above our requirements than we know what to do with and 2 its money perhaps we had better find out quickly whether there is more water than we know what to do with too queens park report by george a kerr m i a w66semcr of the rronncuil legislation completed its business last week it was a si month session the longest in its history i think it was prob ably the most productive in the way of legislation and new programs bv way of example the house approv ed about 194 government bills phis a number of private bills from rmuucapal- ines in ontario some of the important icgrswtion is as follow- medical sto insurance act medicare amendments to highway traffic act re- negligence insurance and safety canines and check for motor vehicles licensing and nrrulang of nursij homes new

bill to provide educational loans to school boards and municipalities for financing school construction as mentt these are some of the main bills that we considered during the past six months unfortunately we also had to increase the sales tax from three per cent to five per cent and also increase tares on liquor gasoline and tobacco ontano still is competitive as far as other provinces are concerned in tax levies and ir some cases such as quebec we are lesv hosmrver there does not seem to be anv other solution if ve are to provide the schools highways hospitals police courts universities etc as well a- tho facilities dealing with labor agriculturv water resources lamk and forests wel fare municipalities etc we must have ths- nrvcnvie the important thing is to make sure that the monev we raise is srsmi and allocated properlv one of the problems of a provincial coserrritient is the sources of revenue vailable to it they are not sufficient as our duties and spheres of administration arr extending and becoming more expen sive for exropte the proincial budget for education for this year is as much as the total provincial budget of 1963 il is hoped that future federalpro vincial tax conferences win solve this dilemma at present the ontario gorernment has two bis problems that must be solved labor injunctions and certain milk pro ducers complaints of low prices the question of injunctions is now under con sideration by both the department of labour and the attorney general the solution to the milk producers problems rests with cooperation b ottawa quebec and ontario regarding floor prices subsidiaries and milk distribution generally i hope that both of these major matters will be ironed out before too long sugar a nd spice by hill a nt i n y i

touph union in those days he worked a 50 to 60hour week picked up a handsome cheque for 40 at the end of the raotth and could be fired if he even looked unhappy and perhaps thats why if memory serves the sailor of those days was a pretty happy character he did a lot of grousing as sailors have done since ilysses and his crew left troy but he also did a lot of horsing around and tcok life vers unseriously not many were married in those days they couldnt afford it theyd blow their 40 bucks cn beer and girls and poker in a couple of days and then it was penny- ante and practical jokes and makings for the rest of the month todays sailor is a much glummer individual hes more likely to be mar ried and have children he has a mort gage and insurance and income tax and dental bills like all

on beaches the smell of lilacs in june and burning leaves in octo ber theres a little of this in the life of the inland sailor its clean and fresh out on the lakes but one great lake looks much like
