THE1 !CAIAD1AM RTATIMffl. OwmàIwcLL.ONTAMO -TUSAJN.2~,1 p 'Some strange things happen at County Council at Cobourg. A represent- tative from one of the township councils was on his way to the session last weck and called on the editor. In the conversa- tion he said, "You know, George,' I'm a died-in-the-wool Tory, but I'm going to cast the first Grit vote in my hf e in the Warden's election". He seemed so per- turbed about switching his politics for once he thought maybe some awful calam- ity might befaîl him. But we understand he is stili living, back on the farm again, and we're told his vote elected the Warden. That reminds us we h'ad an experience in connectian with electing a Warden, nearly 40 years ago when we f irst represented 15wmanville as Reeve at the County Counci]. At that time I was in my early twenties and was evidently look- ed upan by my deskmate as a greenhomn, innocent and ignorant of the- ways of Countv Council. He was an aid stager, representing hîs municipality at County Council for several years and was up ta ail the ways and means, foui and other- wise, of conducting the business. The first thing an the agenda was the election of a Warden.

It is an obliga- tion each Rotarian assumes sooner or later, in addressing his club and inform- ing his feilow members on the history. background and other interesting detals about the business, trade or profession ta which he belongs and represents in Rotary. In some cases it means considemable research in delving inta the history of the business he represents. Often many facts are found about which the Rotamian was not acquainted with before.

I answered by saying: "That's the man the cavcus decided I sbould support, and anyway in my short lifetime V~ve found a lot of Cathoiics who are just as good, and sometimes better, than some Protestants I know". My man was defeated, but when I got outside I asked one of aur group if the candidate we supported wvas a Catholic. "No," he replied, "he's an Orangeman,- high up in the Order". Maybe that experience is why I've always been suspicious and dubious about what goes on in that "higher school of leamning in party politics" at Cobourg. As it has often been said, a session or twa at County Council is a great traini 'ng ground for ward politicians seeking nomination for Legisiatume or House of Commons. As my old deskmate has long since passed ta his reward I've often wondered wvhen he reached the Peariy Gates if St. Peter recognized him and directed him ta the "ather place" where his cohorts are supposed ta rest in peace. expemiences in revealing his life work in his chosen career. This editarial was prompted after hearing the excellent classification talk Rotarian George Vice, Bowmanville Post- master, gave about the histomy and present involved operations of the postal service in Canada., *We, as citizens, are ail customers of a post office, regardless of where we live, sa you should lie interested in two articles in this issue reparting Mr. Vice's mast in- formative taik.

The UAW, which is a large and powerful union, could very easily colcct a few cents per hour from ecd member's pay and put it into a union fund. Thus, at peak times when workers are earning big money because of plenty of overtime* at time-and-a-half, the unemployment fund of the union would graw. This money could lie returned ta the workers during siack times when they are on short pay or actually laid off. Such a measure would have no affect an the economy at ail. There would lie no increase in the cost of production and no increase in prices. What is cven more important, the automobile workers would be paying the- shot 'themselves instead of being supported in idleness by ail other workers. aProfit neoessamy ta have increased profits sa that after the Govemnment, on behaîf of tie public, gets its share. there will lie enough lef t ta carry ou the business.
