emphasis has been placed in centennial year on national veterans week and the local branch has gone all out to nuke this a memorable occasion locally something special is planned for every tfay beginning with a sunday memorial day in the cemetery in conjunction with odd fellows and rebekah when a cairn fcnd a veterans plot will be dedicated during the week such features as a special night for thosewho have contributed to me legionsponsored kid hockey league ft dinner for heads of organizations and in dustry and those winning awards for gal- antry recognition of boy scout and girl guide

sunny summer weather and a schedule ampacked with ancient history and wonderful light makes it no easy job to get back to the busy life of a weekly publisher but get back we did last tuesday an hour after we arrived in town from a trip wmkfi took us from lisbon to istanbul with tops enroute m spain jugoslavia and greece we could fill thp herald for several weeks with impressions of our trip but this would be unfair to those who rrwght be- planning a similar journey themselves some day in our estimation part of the fun of travelling ts to feei you are discover tng new lands though jn this day of rap d transit and world travel you are oniy one of tens of thousands of tourists perhaps the main impression one garni from visiting any european country is the d of age where in canada some thing half a century old is considered an ntary school children will keep the legion hall bustling with visitors a book with a summary of branch 120 history in the past 15 years has also been prepared on the saturday there will be a giant open house when it is hoped a majority of residents will visit the legion building on mill street and review the facilities it offers a church service held by the branch padre rev kelvin johnston winds up the week long affair on sunday june 18th the legion has been one of george towns foremost service organizations since it was established after world war 1 be sides the benefits it provides for ex service men it has played a continuing prominent role in town affairs and devoted a large share of money to community betterment those who are members already know what fine facilities it offers but there are many citizens who will welcome this chance to visit the large clubroom and auditorium for perhaps the first time antique in europe three or four centuries is the criterion i at the same time one is struck by the universality of large cities today for the downtown areas of lisbon madrid athens are not so much different in arch tecture the stores have the same merchandise the people dress the same as on our downtown toronto streets but wander a ifrtle farther field and suddenly you reach narrow streets exotic little stores a few native costumes to make one realize there is a vast difference we deem ourselves particularly fortu nate to have seen jugoslavia s adnat c coast before the tourist boom really hits hotels and motels are being erected by the doz enj as this iron curtain country woos tour isrs from europe and amer ca in a few years it will be the top spot for vacationers possessing as it does rugged natural beau ty fine beeches and an did world atmos phere which is be ng faithfully preserved harley to halton weekly observations by dr harry hartey mp torhahon greatly concerned the attorney general s department is the ua plementatton of modern meth ods to fight organized crime this sophisticated menace i knows no boundaries and thcre foro a nationwide network of police communication and dot ection has to be set up this takes cooperation between all levels of government and quires meetings and concrete plans to make the remedies cf fectivc certain ministers of justice in ottaw a have shown the necessary enthusiasm for action in this field and no doubt this has annoyed wisharl it is my personal opinion that mr pearson has not considered the position ol minister of jus tice for canada as a major one and therefore needed reform has been unnecessarily dclajed be cause of this fact perhaps mr wishart s re marks on confederation were influenced by his experience and objectives as attornoj general of ontario sugar and spice by bill smiley the house of commons l pent two days on a suppjy motion this allows debate on any subject and was devoted to vietnam and the arabisraeli dispute it has allowed comple taly free debate to continue since the opening of this scs hion the nde proposed a aub- amendment which criticized the government for falling to press the united states to stop tho bombing of north vietnam as a necessary preliminary to negotiations to end the ar in vietnam this was voted on and the interesting feature waa the split of tho conservative party on thia matter aorae supporting the ndp and some supporting the government the govern merit easily defeated this sub- amendment the u1ader of the oppos hion moved an amendment criticizing the government for not giving parliamentary time for debate on international is sues and not making clear its stand on these issues this waa also defeated by the govern mont tvo days of debate were in fact carried out during the throne debate the opposition moved to adjourn the house to discuss these matters and were turned down they had tall op portunity to discuss vietnam during the throne speech do- bate and yet only a few refer encos were made concerning vietnam some constituents bar written to me following my re quest for opinions concerning vietnam and canadian pobey i have not as yet had enough re plies to make a significant sur vey of opinion but 1 will keep the peoplo of halton informed as to the results one of the major on parliament hill this week his again taken place outside the parliament buildings 1 re fer to the farmers march which took place on wednesday 24th may i was present during the presentation of the brief to the cabinet by the leaders of the march they expected an im mediate answer to their brief which bad been in the hands of the government for approx imately 24 hours this did not glvo the government time to study and discuss the matters in the brief i believe that while the matter of dairy prices is urgent the government has to look into these matters from all directions and to taka into consideration the effect of sug gested changes on all levels of society including both tha pro ducers and the consumers i have every confidence that vx this will be done the annual sucker play tranquility is the most ova sive thing in the world at least it is if you have a family there must be

main street several years ago by the chamber of commerce have ceased to be a thing of beauty dinted lacking paint and in a gener ally dmgy condition they are almost as un- alghtty as the rubbish which they are desi gned to colled the chamber has been in the doldrums far some years mainly because of the lack of merchant support so necessary to keep gch a group in the limelight only the aa of a few faithful members have kept it from disappearing altogether and there ns no funds available to supply new waste scalding milk eliminated in coolris baking thi every spring i go through the same routine and i cant understand why an intelligent man can be so stupid and suck ered annually all it proves to me is that experience teaches you nothing contrary to the old saw each year may beckons like a

gram leaves and a warm great cinucks containers the town treasury too it taxed to the limit to pay for all the necessary improve ments which a growing town requires a simple answer would be for a few enterprising merchants to solicit donations and instal new containers on their own after all it is to their advantage to have e tidy main street and a few dollars from each would do the tnck how about

attorney general mr wishart seeais to have caused commotion by his speech in the legislature during the de bate on premier robarts resol- uon calling for a conference m confederation what mr wishart said that the provinces should have the power to meet discuss and it possible agree on policies which constutionally belong to them and to make decisions ac cordingly in other words to act as sovereign entities in dea ling with matters which under the bna act have been allocat d to provincial government mr wishart in a later state- saant in the legislature grran ttt clarify his position said that ha did not dispute the senior petition of the federal gotanv ttnt or the fact that it was sup- inane in matters which ware a aawrery federal or matters tjfekh effected all parties fed anl or jiwtoeul residual iter the bna act wit the central mr wishart also pointed out that ha believes that the success of confederation rests mainly with a strong central govern- 1 ment however this has not bean tha case in recent years and because of this the prov inces have been in many areas unable to bring about changes in laws which effect both juris- 1 dictions in 1867 the main problems were railroads roads defence and unifying a new nation 1087 the main problems axel money problems education roads resources health muni eipallties and tha administrat ion of justice nearly all these are provincial nutters orl intolnnf both levels of govern- ment i am only guess what was in mr wonarta mind when he made his speech- 1 do know aowerar that the ontario at tarncy ganerati department has been trying for some time to improve laws dealing with bankruptcy which is a federal i statute laws dealing with mar- tiiga jusd dhksrea tha criminal code and other such legislation which n within the federal authority the province has been wrong ly accused of not modernizing laws which deal with easy orl phony bankruptcies causing great hardship to legitimate crc ditors of not changing archaic divorce laws and of not amen ding the criminal laws of this country to provide for example uniformity in sentencing mod em methods of rehabilitation and parole expunging of ords of young offenders capital punishment charitable lotteries etc etc it is common knowledge that reputable doctors in ontario and other provinces are perfor ming therapeutic abortions when the life of the mother de- pends on il this is against the present law as is the advertis- ing and sale of birth control pills mr wishart has on many occasions particularly at confer- ences with other provincial at torneys general and at bar as sociation meetings calcd for changes in federal laws deal ing with these and other mat ters it is the duty of the prov i nee to administer and enforce these laws and it is difficult when you know some of them are stupid furthermore 1 am getting sick and tired of try ing to rescue the saturday night bmgo series written by unmapped miles to travprsc from baker lake on the east to lake
