tracker barrel politics j contemplated action by the post office department in inaugurating five days only rrjail delivery in towns while retaining the sq day delivery to rural residents smacks ol a cracker barrel philosophy which should be as extinct in ontario as the horse and tggy dropping a days mail delivery will work minor hardship on town residents but we hive heard no particular complaints for it is geared to save money and help put the ppst office department on a breakeven ba- sljs 1 the saturday delivery could be drop- ped to country residents at the same time with no more hardship and urban people have a right to censure our politicians for so blatantly favouring our rural friends an important letter is an important letter whether it bears a town or country address why then should it suddenly become so important that a farmer receive if on saturday but a town resident should wait until monday the matter should resolve itself then into black and white either saturday mail is too important to drop delivery or the savings involved will far outweigh the mi nor inconveniences if no mail is received on saturdays seeing the world part 4 blue mosque worthwhile attraction

uskudar is on the asian side of istanbul thenext day we wen to the- blue mosque and wdre very lu cky to meet a boy named hus sein who is studying geophys ics at university who offered to give us a- guided tour and to talk to us about islam in or der to improve his english he was a real wealth of informa tion as he had studied all the historical background of the mosque and showed us small- details that most people would not see like the three holy stones at the front and very beautiful rug in a rich emerald green that was given to the turkish people by the king of egypt the whole of the interior is covered in carpets of all colors and designs and then the dome of the mosque anil the sur rounding half and quarter and eighth domes have all different designs as well the majo dome is pale diue representing heaven and the deeper blues of the lower domes represent the sea we were there for the major prayer time around 5 pjti and heard the muezzins chant and watched the people pray all the time hussein explained details to us we really would have v liked to have had more time to spend with him as he was very inter esting and his english was ex cellent he said that by going to historical places and being helpful he had met people from all over the world but we had to go back as abbas was taking us out or a farewell dinner however first of all we com mandeered his chauffeur our friend hussein and made him take us to the hilton hotel so that we could change a travel lers cheque as our mopey had run out again and the banks were all closed karen and christ and i went in with abbas and barged in on a fancy dress reception for the socially elite we noticed a two star general and a lot of military fuss since we were wearing our blue jeans and grotty old sweaters we attrac ted more stares than anybody it is a vry posh hotel the most expensive in istanbul 1 think this didnt bother abbas he ushered us around flamboy antly shouting out in german all the points of interest esszimrmr dining room where i they were holding the dinner cabaret toilette etcl then we had dinner at a ke- hap restaurant it wu very good turkish kehap tastes a lot like harveys hamburgers which is a little disturbing as there was a cat wandering around in there i afterwards we had to sing for abbas friends again and then escape home by 11 abbas ever the business man changed money in the taxi into silver and thxi unloaded some of that on tha poor desk clerk the desk clerk at our hotel was very very kind to us and told us half in sign language that he would miss us and that on our

season and that 1969 will he a happy and prosperous year for all parliament reconven ed on tuesday 14th janiary after a three week recess the recess gave me a further op portunity to visit with many people in the riding who have problems which come under the jurisdiction of the federal gov ernment i feel that in many cases i can get a better insight into their problems by calling on these people personally during the holidays i at tended several social functions which were held throughout the riding it was my pleasure to be invited to mayor wheldon em- mersons inauguration dinner n georgetown he and his council begin their term of of fice in january and i wish them well in their deliberations dur ing the next two years if i can be of assistance to them at any time 1 hope they will feel free to contact me i was asked to address the georgetown lions club and spent a most enjoyable even ing with them my remarks were about my personal involve ment in politics i related some of the problems i had to face even before i was nominated as the liberal candidate it is a big jump from being a par ty member to being a candi date there are a number of things which are important at the time you make this decis ion these include your fam ily life your job situation the support you can garner from association members and last but not least is what kind of competition you will face at no mination meeting i also told- them about some of the humorous experien ces i encountered during the campaign before leaving this subject i would like to mention one incident which occurred the day after the election we had a victory celebration at my home on election night which lasted into the small hours of the morning at 700 oclock in the morning the phone rang and a voice said mr whiting now that you arc a member of parliament i have a problem and i want to know what you are going to do about it said and was originally for the least inconvenience to to farming community since the face of the county has changed since that time the society feels it would be more convenient for all concerned if the summer sitting started jn may and the wlnte flltttnirln november december sitting the december sitting at mil ton was one of the heaviest cal endars the court has ha j there were too many cases for county judge alan b spraguc to han dle and relief judge wuliam macdcl of guclph was called in to help dispose of the heavy case load c the remainder of this session of parliament has all the appearances of being an extremely busy one the house is working under the new rules which were passed out before the christmas recess this is except rule 16a dealing with the allocation of time for each bill this particular section caused much controversy am ong opposition parties and wo referred back to committee for further study these chancesin proce dure will enable parliament to deal with legislation in a more expeditious manner and will place more emphasis on the work of the standing commit tees the new procedures i believe will give the back ben ch members more influence in the formation of the various departmental policies at present there are 40 pieces of government legisla tion outstanding and we hope to deal with these in 84 sitting days this legislation is essen tially the program laid down in the speech from the throne which opened first session of the 28th
