WAGE TOUR T~ CMiAD!AN UAT~MAW. ~OWMANVffLK O!<TA~O TEURSDAY. APRIL llth. xmnv Ez',uL? 7 ORIALS Plan to Improve Many Roads in Town The groups who are doing the advanced planning far next year's Bawmanville Centennial have already done a cansid- erable amount of gaod work in planning pragram and other activities.. 'While na definite details are availabie for release at the moment, it does appear that everyone is interested in making the centenary the major event in the cam- munity's histary. As the months rail by, the pace un- doubtedly will increase until more and mare people become invoived in the preparatians. In traditional fashion, same will start eariy ta grow their beards for the contest which aiways seems ta ac- company such occasions, and for some this activity may be the mast difficuit work they have dane because of objections at home. For thase committees which may be leaving their planning until the last minute, we urge an early start and a concentrated effort now. Later on, there just won't be available time to do ail the unexpected jobs which cannot be farseen. It is almost unbelievabie that this corn- munity is, in fact, only a meagre 100 years aid in 1958. For those arriving from Europe, the 'United Kingdom and other parts of the world ta join in aur life in Canada, the material pragress which han been made here in such a short space of time in camparison ta their much aider Fivilizatians must be a revelation. When we alsa realize that our country of Canada wil nat be 100 until 1967, it makes ail of us realize how much has been done in a very short time. Hawever, as we approach aur centen- niai, aur thoughts must be focussed on what lies ahead as well as what has transpired in aur lifetime. Neyer has aur future looked brighter than it daes at this time, flot persanally, but as a comrnunity. By the time we celebrate our big affair next summer, we shall have seen same evi- dence of the grawth and expansion which is really only beginning here. If we cauld look ahead 10 years past our birthday, there is every reason ta believe that Baw- manville will have changed sa much and grown ga large that our parents and grandparents would hardly recognize the place. If, during that period of growth we can retain aur reputation as a friendly and hospitable community, filled with citizens of good character and a sense of responsi- biity we shall indeed have reason ta be even prouder of the fact that we live in the Town of Bowmanville. *REPORT FROM PARLIAMENT HILL Connuons Enrag.d Over Novman's Death By John M. James, M.P. Dealing With Things That Crawl Out From Underneath Rocks EclIoungman s Column.1 Last week, we f.old you of spending Monday evening, Mar. 25th, at a testimonial dinner in Toronto, for Charles Sauni, and Tuesday evening at the swell birthday party o! Onono Rebekah Lodge. Sa you might as well know what transpired each evenmng for the balance af that week. We decided to stay home on Wednesday and watch TV. Everything was quiet until the baxingt started. Butch -fancied the fellow in the light trunks, xny choice was the opposite, which caused a debate when m-y boy won. By carrying on the argument until after "'lights out", the evening wasn't exactly quiet. On Thursday evening, we "Austined" ta the seasan's last meeting of the Durham County Club in> Toronto, and had a real nice time. When I was about six years aid, I attended a party where I saw my first "magie lantern" slides. The party was designed ta bring a spot o! cheer into the lives of the tough littie kMa, existing in the east end o! Loti don. The veny finst picture stili hangs on memory's wall. It was a church spire, same house tops, stars in a velvet sky, with one star bîgger than the rest. Whlle we gazed at the scene, someone led us in singing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". Although that was consider- ably mare than fifty yeans'aga, I stili appreciate "magie ian- temn" pnograms, sa needed no coaxing ta, jog up ta Tononto ta view O. J. Henderson's tra- velague o! an eleven thousand mile trip across the continent, at the Durham Club. The subi ects were well chas- en, varied, Interesting, ln cal- ours, and excellent photagra- phy. Mr. Henderson did not bore his audience wlth taa many slides, he spoke briefly about the origin of each, then left it ta the viewers' individual intel- ]igence ta fil in the details. Until March 28th, mnany of us wère unaware of this modest chap's cleverness with a cam- éra. We enjoyed the ride on the magic carpet, and feel we owe niuch ta people who undertake a trip, then generously spare time ta share their experiences with others. While saying goodbye, and thanks ta A. A. Martin for his untiring efforts as Président for the last three years, we wel- corne Jim Lovekin as the new President. With his breadth of vision, youth, intelligence and faculty for good public rela- tions, we may. be assured of a continuation of excellent pro- grams and growth of prestige o! the Club. On Friday afternoon, business took us ta Bowmanville, where we bumped into the charmaing Susie Graham, wha promptly invited us ta have supper with the Grahams. Butch and I rarely accept a spontaneous invitation ta a meal, but Susies case was different, She's Irish, and if she didn't want you, there would- n't be an invitation. Besides whlch, I wanted ta get even for the timne they called here, and cleaned uip a deliciaus leg o! lamb, leaving me ta dine on ba- ]oney. We had a deliciaus meal, and spent an enjoyable evening with aur graciaus hasts, Susie, George and family. Which bnings us to, Saturday, when I ducked out without the wife seeing me, and jogged down to the Balmnoral Hotel, in and -- .

Mr. Elliott's discounse made me realize that, in some res- pects, I may have failed as a' fathen. He clearly proved that, during the adolescent perîod, a chiid needs a great deal of sym- pathetic understanding, and that parents should exencise much patience. Which makes me feel like a heel'when I remember aiming a hearty kick at the south end o! a kid going forth, to emphasize an onder which Junior wished ta ignore.

For the f irst time in history, one of their number is a very attractive woman. Always, this f ield had been reserved for men. When Mrs. Douglas Blair made her first entrance into the Haëse this week and sat at the small table reserved for the Hiansard reporters, the entire assembly appiauded by thumping their desks. The member who was speaking at the time made mention of the historie event and paid tribute ta Mrs. Blair's beauty and ability. DIPLOMAT'S DEATH AROUSES ANGER IN COMMONS Undoubtedly, the biggest and most tragic news around Parliament Hill during the week was the startling announcement early Thursday that Mr. Herbert Norman, 'Canadian Ambassador to Egypt, had leaped to bis death froni a seven-storey building in Cairn. Mr. Norman had been mentioned some years ago in a U.S. Senate sub-corn- mittee's investigations as one who had had communist connections. Recently, these unofficial charges hadl been repeated although the Canadian government had earlier cleared Mr. Norman of any such activities. Mr. Pearson, in commenting on his death, stated that the reasons for these renewed attacks might be obscure, but the tactics used degraded only those who adopted them. Others, also angered over the incident, suggested that lhe had been murdered by siander as surely as though a knife h ~been put in his back.t AGRICULTURE COMMITTEE CLEARS UP NASTY RUMOURS The Agriculture and Colonization Committee not only drew the biggest crowds of the week, but also con- ducted about as fiery an enquiry as I have heard ecentl~ At one point, Mr. Gardiner, the 72-year-old minj ry was' ahl for forgetting-'his age and getting into a f ist-' "-with CCFr Colin Cameron, a comparative yaungste of 60. Fortunately, bath restrained themseives althoug some wanted ta adjourn the committee ta watch such a battie. Possibly, in next year's estimates an item shouid be includ- ed for a set of 8 ounce boxing gloves and a portable ring ta take care of those who want ta keep in shape so similar challenges could be accepted. SLAUGHTER PUREBRED SHEEP BECAUSE 0F "SCUAPIE" This happened because farmer P. J.

IMPORTANT LEGISLATION TO BE COMPLETED Some of the other discussions in Parliament during this period included further stages of the Hospital Insur- ance scheme, with every fikelihood that it will be passed before the session is concluded. The marketing amend. ments ta provide some teeth in the provincial marketing bodies have also been introduced and will be passed with very littie opposition. Finance Minister Harris announced that negotiations had been concluded to provide better tarif! protection for Canadian growers of potatoes. Budget resolutions covering changes in taxes, increases in social security and veterans' beneffit will be completed so the the alterations will take e!!ect as outlined ini the budget speech. SEVENTEEN MEMBERS NOT SEEKING RE-ELECTION As this may be almost the last column about this last sessiof~o Parliament, it shauld be mentioned that some 17 membdrs have indicated they wiil not be seeking Y,-' » tion. Their reasons for retiring vary wideiy fram ý hI ta business reasons. Among theni is onie cabinet minister, Hon. Gea. Prudham, Minister o! Mines and Technical Surveys; one Parhiamentary Assistant, Colin E. Bennett, from Meaford, who was considered as good cabinet -.rate:-ial and a staunch CCF veteran, Angus Macînnis. ELECTION DATE' SET FOR JUNE 10th The session is expected to conclude Friday, April 121h, with the election to be held on June 10th. Warks' Foreman Lloyd Quin- ton has anounced the road pro- gramx for the coming year wgh will include ditching, grading and gravefling of several streets within the town liniits. Extensive major work will be done on following streets: Prince - ditching, grading and base of coarse gravel; West Beach Road - ditchlng, grading three culverts and gravelling from the East Beach Road ta the Honey Bridge; Jackman Avenue - ditching, grading and gravelling; Middle Road -ditch- ing, grading and gravelling; Hunt Street (Albert ta Base Line) ditching, grading and gravelling; Pine, Park, Nelson and Victoria - grading and pro- per drainage; Mearns Avenue larger culverts, widening and raising off King Street. Drainage will be improved at Third and Liberty, Prospect Lamb's Lane and First and Sec- ond Streets. Any other streets in need of gravel will receive gravel Mr. Quinton pointed out. To aid in keeping dust toaa minimum the district roads will Parliament now has before it legisia- tion which represènts one mare step in a long process that began at least 20 years ago-producer cantrolled marketing of f arm products or, as oppanents prefer ta call it, compulsory marketing.' The new legisiatian takes the form of amendments ta an existing federal statute, which delegates federal powers in the fields of interprovincial and export trade ta boards set up under provincial legisia- tion. This was the formula reached a few years ago in order ta straighten out the constitutional tangle of divided jurisdic- tions. A, recent decision of the Supreme Court of Canada, however, casts doubts on the legality of same things the Ontario legisiature was gaing ta allow these pro- vincial boards ta do in future. One was ta estabiish equalizatian funds levied from the producers. Mr. Gardiner has now brought ip a bill ta tidy up the situation, and it has been welcomed by opposition graups, not least by the Canservatives. Yet outside the Commons, this re- mains a highly contentiaus subject, and for two main reasons. There is the fear that consumers may be heid up for ransom by farmers. This is unlikely, even if the desire were present, mainly because there is no contrai over production and no con- trol over the number of praducers who The assistant superintendent of schoois lone of Canada's largest cities has just reassured parents whose chîldren fail ta get along well in arithmetic. "Af ter ail," he said, "few aduits have ta use anything beyond the simplest calculations." At the samne time, in Ottawa, one of the MPs representing t}Žat same city was pressing f or detailed contrai af small loan campanies on the ground that borrawers had no idea af haw much they were pay- ing out in interest, as they were unable ta comprehend the significance of a percent- age rate. The MP was propasing, in effect, that the Gavernment should pratect the public fromn the consequences af the schaal's failure ta teach themn arithmetic.

Reasonabie prices, at fairiy stable levels throughout the season, are more ta be expected than fancy prices. The consumer stands ta benefit thraugh more assurance of a steady supply if "orderly marketing" accamplishes what iA is supposed ta do. The ather frequently heard abjection is on the score of regimèntation. Ail pra- vincial marketing acts provide for a vote of the growers af a specified commodity and upon a favorable vote-usuaily the majarity required is two-thirds - the un- willing or indifferenit minarity must f al in uine; the scheme covers them too. Many would much prefer ta, see pro ducer market- ing dont on a ca-operative basis. But the valuntary approach does not always appear ta work in matters of this kind; hence farmers' organizations are turning more and mare ta plans involving complete contrai. These invalve a limitation on individual freedom, but such limitations are common enough in modemn society. The test is whether marketing schemes are democratically set up and operated, and also -whether they work in the broad înterests of consumers as weil as produc- ers. If any serious f laws are found, bath Parliament and the legisiatures of the variaus provinces retain the ultimate authority ta step in any tirme they choose. This seems a suff icient safeguard.-The Ottawa Citizen. Who Is Getting the Most Out of ".More"? Labor leaders have a lot ta say nowa- days about wage boasts being justified by "'productivity gains." This is just fancy economic jargon for techniolagical advanc- es which make it passible for industry ta turn out mare gaods and services at less cost. What needs ta be remembered Is that when there is an increase in productivity, or output per man hour, any o! three things may happen: wages may be increas- rd, profits may be larger, or prices may be lower. Investors whose savings provide the capital needed for new and more pro- ductive machines and factories, ta be sure, are entithed ta some reward for the risk they have taken in making their money avaihable for expansion and impravement. Business and industrial leaders know that productivity gains must be shared with the public in terms of lower prices. Com- petition in the free market is the best assurance that this sharing will take place. Labor leaders, hawever, take a differ- ent view of things. Productivity gains, they say, beiong ta the workers. Only with reluctance will they admit that the investors who put up the capital are also entitled ta some reward. Unlike business and industrial leaders, however, labor leaders are sulent on the point o! sharing productivity gains with the public. It is because of this "public be damned" attitudeqof labor when it cames ta productivity gains that mare people look askance at union wage demands than was the case a few years ago. The public, labor leaders shouid re- member, have a stake too in productivity gains. Consumers are interested in more efficient production being reflected in lower prices. regulation: don't teach them, shieid them. Oddly enough, this procedure is being abandoned at hast in the area where it has been longest established: liquor legislation. One of the major recommendations of the Bracken report in Manitoba was that instead o! attempting ta shield the citizen from contact with alcohol, the state should tryr ta educate him in its sensible use. Many of the hazards faced by Canad- ians these days involve the use of arithme- tic. The prablem of inflation, for example, is hard ta grasp without some knowledge o! the significance of "2%7 per year". Evaluating the taxing habits o! variaus governments, and understanding the choices involved in gavernment spending, requires thînking about veny large numbers indeed. In his (or her) personal budgeting, the average citizen may flot at present use much arithmetic - but he'd be better off if he did. To turn out citizens who can't do arithmetic into this highly arithmetical worhd is ike letting a man drive a car without learning the location o! the brake peda.-Financial Post. Observations and Opinions One fanmer ta another: "You knaw, the rear end o! those 1957 cars reminds me o! only one thing; a good dairy cow's hip bones. I wouldnt have one on the place." His companion: "I know, I can't affard one either." Tranquihity publs have been recom- mended for dogs, says the Hamilton Spectator. With a few o! those inside hini, Tawser will still chase cars, but he won't brood about it if he f ails ta catch them. Those who frequently attend publie gatherings realize that the man wha does the most talking is nat always the one who says the most.
