The Canadian Statesmari, Eawmanville, Nov. S, 1966 EDITORIAL COMMENT Executive Housing Sorely Needeci Sooner or later this community -will have to open the doors a bit wider allow greater development of hous- t~gto take care of the people who want ». live here but, at the moment, are not able to obtain either the lots or Ine recent months we have heard of they were forced to purchase homes in Pshawa, a]though they would much rither live here where they work. This 8$ituation is regrettable for several reas- !cns, the major one being that such citi- zens usuaily become real assets to any ,ommunity. Now, other than during iworking hours they are not here to take part in the social, recreation, ser- viice and other activities and as a resuit âon't really corne in direct contact with .mnany other local citizens and sadly don't in fact becorne a part of the town. They are missing sornething and the niunicipality is losing the energies and contributions that could and should be uised here by them to make Bowman- ville a better town. We understand there are several investors who have purchased land in the town, hoping that one of these days, the restrictions will be lifted to enable them to go ahead with construction of houses on a large scale. Probably, these investors would also be willing to set aside part of their sub-divisions for what might be called prestige homes to take care of this demand. Council members are probably rnuch more aware of this situation than we are and undoubtedly they and the Planning Board are concentrating their efforts on maklng certain that a proper balance is maintained between resi- dential and commerciai-industrial as- sessment. However, while their actions are commendable, we are iosing many otentialli worthwhile citizens to near- y Oshawa. We can't help wondering if something could be done to keep them in this community where they are earning their livelihood. (From The Orono Weekly Times) A memorandum of policy from the If on. W. G. Davis, Minister of Educa- tion for Ontario, to the Public School Consultative Committees r e g a r d i n g larger units of administration and dated December 28th, 1964, makes one won- der how the Northumberland-Durham Consultative Committee and also the Department of Education can approve the building program of the Clarke Township Area Public School Board. The memorandum makes this state- ment, "It is also the policy of the De- .rpartment to encourage the establish- 1 ient and operation of fully graded -schools with enrolments of at least 300 pupils.» This is a clear statement of policy which appears locally to have littie meaning. The local- consultative Committee has given their approval ta two-room additions to three two-roomn schools plus the construction of a new eight-room school. The one two-room addition and the new eight-room school, Xirby, are about four miles apart which in this day and age is relatively close. The present program, excluding any gym accommodation for the eight-roomn school in Orono, will provide four gyms for a student enrolment of eight hund- red pupils and excludîng Orono for six hundred pupils. Surely this alone must be a costly service at an initial capital cost of over $20,000 per gym or one hundred dollars per student. itwa9" taied 'at t~laSit oard -1ýeeting that the eight-room school in Kirby is being built to replace the pres- ènt one-room schools. This is f ine but it does flot go far enough. The building program shotld, we believe, be one of accommodation and also one of upgrad- ing our educational system. No plan It's Not There was a time when it was comparatively simple for a farmer to énter into an agreement with his son to pay him so much in wages. But this nio longer is so. The tentacles of the tax bureau now reach into the farm home- and make such a move quite Involved. A good example of this is provided In an editorial in The Glengarry News. It deals with 'a farm magazine article which was in reply ta a query by a fermer who had agreed ta pay his son $200 per month. He wanted ta know if he would have ta start making Canada Pension Plan deductions and the dis- mal answer was yes, plus income tax deductions. First the son must have a Social Insurance number when he reaches 18; thèn he mnust complete Forrn TDI (Em- ployee's Tax Deduction Declaration) which friend farmer mnust keep in that ?iew file of tax papers he is ta need. The value of the son's free roorn and board, etc. must be added ta that $200 he is ta be paid rnonthly, then cornes the task of figuring how rnuch ta deduct each month. (The tax depart- ment is nice enough ta furnish a book ci Contribution Tables on request.) Estimate the son's room and board appears to exist in the latter and this was most obvious when it was stated that presently there appeared no an- swer for the Orono situation. This is not good enopigh especially when it in- volves the education of our children and also thousands of dollars in capital construction and future maintenance and busing. A plan should exist to cover ail areas of education. The Departmental memorandum also states that, "A school system with an average daily attendance of 300 to 100 makes possible fully-graded ele- mentary schools. A few of the larger systems may have senior schools oper- ated on a part-time rotary basis, and part-time classes in special subjects are possible." Clarke Township's daily at- tendantce must now be at least 750 which brings it close to the top of the 300 to 1000 bracket. Dariington Township in its prog- ram, has constructed a senior public schoal with new educational features. Peterborough County public schools are offering additional courses includ- îng industrial art and home economics. Dr. Andrews, head of the Division of Educational Administration, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, in a recent address stated that centralîza- tion (larger schools) provided better teachers, enabied graded classes and even sub-divisions within grade group- ing, provided good supervision, made teacher in-service education feasible, and al1cs pràd ddpportmiity for.:ïpe- cial services to pupils such as gifted, retarded, etc. Where do we, stand in present-day education? There is no doubt that we need more accommodation but let us make the project a two-fold project and add soine economy at the same time, So Simple Now at $60 a month and on the total of $260 the tables will bell you ta deduct $3.78 from his pay. AIl Mr. Farmer has ta do then is match that $3.78 from his awn pocket, get a certified cheque for $7.56 made payable ta the Receiver- General of Canada and send it ta the District Taxation Office. This he wil repeat rnonthly by the lSth of the sub- sequent rnonth or he may face a $10 fine. And that's only for the Pension Plan. There will be income bax deduc- tions ta be sent, sirnultaneously with that levy for pensions. The son would presurnably have an exemption af $1000 sa the incarne tax tables ordain pay- ment of $25.25 each rnonth on that $260 incarne. Lump that and his part of the pension payrnent, $3.78, and junior will get $170.97 cash pay each month. Dad will be forking out another $3.78 as his share af the pension payrnent, f ive cents for the postage stamp and he will have the anus af keeping a cleai set of records for when the tax inspectors make their rounds. Add ta the pension and incarne tax payrnents those for workmen's compen- sation and, before long, unernployment insurance and the farmer will be pain- fully aware of how cornplicated it now is ta put a son on the payroll.

They have had warnings from Finance Min ister Mitchell Sharp, and the Iatest ta hint that Federal taxes wll have ta go up is Prime Minster L. B. Pear- son. The Finance Mînister will be bringing down a baby budget in mid-November. He told the House of Com- mons last month that be- cause of the inflationary pressures the Government has been forced ta postpone Medicare ane year ta be- corne effective July 1, 1968. [t has been necessary ta pastpone other important Federal programs until the economnic pressures ease off and inflation begins ta fade away. Meantime the Federal fin- ance experts are studying tlýe e oc d deteripin- ngjust how sious theu present inflationary pres4 sures have become. Some econamic experts are cau- tionng the Government that it may have gone too far already. They warn that the brakes have been ap- plied sa hard that they might careen Canada into a recession.

A group of 10 instructors and professors of economics at Ottawa's Carleton Uni- versity said that the Federal Government may be fight- ing a straw man with its anti-inflationary restraints. They dlaim that Canada has flot experienced too much over-all demands -for goods and services as frequently stated by Finance Minister Sharp in recent speeches. They concluded that pnice increases that have appear- cd can be traced to "mis- matching of supply and de- mand in some particular sectors of the Canadian econom y".

However, Prime Minister Pearson at the opening of the crucial Federal-Provin- cial conference October 24 outlined new proposais for the provincial premiers. He said the summit meetings are "among the most im- portant in Canada in recent years". Hec notcd that Fin- ance Minister Sharp's comn- pletely new plan for fiscal equalization and suggested .new approach to shared- cost programs would be under detailed examînation. "When these proposaIs wcre put forward lb was said they 'would be supple- mcnted by arrangement with respect ta the rapidly rising needs of the provinces in meetng the growing costs of hîgher education. For this reason, the first of our meetings this week concurs the financing of higher edu- cation", said Mr. Pearson. The Prime Minister affer- ed the provinces aven $90 million more next year for higher education with ad- ditional amounts ta corne in the years ahead. He saîd the Federal Government is willing ta pay haîf of the operating costs of educa- tion plus all the costs of job training for adults, the lat- ter amounting ta $ 100,000,000 next year. Having offercd ta raise the ante for education sa that the provinces would be able ta meet the rapidly ris- ing costs in their respective sections of the country, Mr. Pearson had ta mention how he was going ta get the money. He said: "I feel bound ta point out that the cast of this support for higher education must be carricd by the taxpayers of Canada in one way or another - including the re- placement of the revenue transferred". That was the ticking bomb for the taxpayers. It will go off snon in their pocket- books when the Federal Government imposes increas- cd taxes ta meet the load of the new offers ta the prov- inces. The Federai Government and provincial administra- tions have been on a col- lisini course for some years now over their respective needs. At the Federal-Pro- vincial canference the crunch came. The meeting opened with discussions on educa- tion. Later the conference turned to the findings of the tax structure committee and the Prime Minister and Premiers went back into formai session ta consider what course the il Govern- ments should follow in the years ahead. The existing five-year tax agreement is due ta expire March 3lst, 1967. The Fed- eral Government would like ta get a new five year Rgree- ment signed. But rnost of the premiers during the con- ference appearcd ta prefer a one-year extension - with improvements - of the exist- ing agreement. When this was wribten it was flot clear what the outcome would be. The provinces are ail con- cerned about mounting edu- cation costs. Ib remains a provincial responsibiliby un- der the constitution. But the provinces argue that they must have the financiai re- sources ta meet this first prianity. They argued that the impact of the costs of education must be trans- ferred from the local tex- payers ta the senior levels of government. The premiers and the Fed- eral Governaient set up a tex structure committee two years ega ta prepare for a new five-year agreement. The two year study of this cammîtbee to assess the pro- Sugar Since his election as Premier of Quebec last June, Union National Premier Daniel Johnson has been mak- ing noises of separation if his Province did not get its way in fiscal matters. Some of the more apprehensive observ- ers were concerned that Confederation wouid f ly apart if some considerable concession was not given ta Quebec. Backed up by strong federal spokesmen from the Province of Que- bec, Finance Minister Mitchell Sharp book a f irm position in the f ace of the demands of Premier Johnson. The resuit was that Quebec came away frorn the Conference with no more and no less than it was entitled ta under the formula applied toalal other Provinces. Mitchell Sharp was able ta take a firm position because he knew that Premier Johnson was not negotiating f rom a position of strength, and, also because he was supported by federal Ministers who were ready ta do battie with Premier Johnson right in his own Province on the issue of federalism. The emergence of Quebec representa- tives in Ottawa who are strong enough ta meet the challenge of the Provincial government is one of the most signifi- cant developrnents here in many years. Manpower Min ister Jean Marchand is undoubtedly the strongest and most liglit of their anticipabcd revenues - sbowed that costs incumred by Provincial- Municipal Goveroments will fer oubpace those of bbc Fed- enal Government. The study showcd also that based on bbe present allocation af tex revenues, the Fedemal deficits on exist- îng pnograms will decline, while those of thce Pro- vincial - Municipal Govern- ments will risc. lb was cdean ta the F'ed- cral and Provincial dele- gates that a new rationele for tex sbaning must be esbablished. Th e tex struc- bure committee made t clear that bhc provincial ncquesbs for additional revenue are not simply raids on the Federal treesury. If bbe Federal Govern- ment cannot corne up with proposais that the provinces are prepared ta acccpt for e five-year agreement in tbc future then it is inevît- able that the provinces will face double taxation. This wîil be reminiscent af tbe tex jungle af bhc thirties. Behind ib ail loamed the spectre af Quebec making threatcning noises about separabing from Confedera- tion if it did not get a bebter deal from the Federai Gov- ernment. But mcny premiers are coming ta regard these tbrects as "bargaining po- sition". The patienec witb Quebec is gradually runnîtig out. his could b. bed for thc future af Canada. eloquent voice speaking for Quebec ~ day. He has stated that he is prep*d to meet Premier Johnson on the huat- ings in Quebec in order ta define and assert the federal power in ail parts of Canada. Mr. Marchand is ably sup- ported by Forestry and Rural Develop.. ment Minister Maurice Sauve who has for many years been one of Quebec's most able federal spokesmen. Mr. Sauve does not have the color and flair of Jean Marchand but his articulation of Quebec's position in the Canadian federation has done much ta establish him as one of the strongest voices in Ottawa. cmt Quebec, quite properly, is cmt ted ta he.avy expenditures in the finan- cing of its economnic resurgence. Mr. Johnson rnay talk loud in public, but when he closes his office door and looks at the balance sheet I arn sure he is practical enough ta realize that the only hope for the ecanomnic advance- ment of Quebec in step with the other Provinces is within confederation. Separation would be suicide for Quebec . . . economnically and cultural- ]y . . . and Mr. Johnson knows it. The tact that federal Ministers such as Marchand and ýSauve are prepared to tell this ta the people of Quebec and ta challange Premier Johnson on his own battle grounds is good news for Quebec, and for Canada.

This week, I have a lot of things on my mind, but none of them is worthy of the* brilliant, penetrating essay in which you wrap your garbage. Therefore, the column will be something of an Irish stew. Or a Hun- garian ragout. Or better still, a French pot-pourri. That's pronounced popery. Speaking of whîch, congratulations to ail my Dogan f riends. They can now eat meat on Friday. And destroy the market for f ish. And miss ail those wonderful food values in fish and turn into meat-stuffed, red-faoed birds like us Protestants. Speaking of which, one of our churches had a "folk" service last Sun- day. The occasion was a conference in town of 300 Christ ian boys. We biileted two of them. For Kim's sake, I ordered, from the billeting chairman, two six- foot, handsome chaps with rich fathers. What we got were, well, two boys. A short, chubby, cocky one; and a long, skinny, shy one. Neither was handsome. Neither had a wealthy father. But the service Sunday was first- rate. You should have seen the look on the gray-headed eiders as they belted out, "Go Tell It On The Mountain," with the electric guitars whanging away. The other accompaniment, a sort of duli rumble, was the bones of John Calvin, Martin Luther and John Wes- ley, twiriing in their graves. And the red-headed kid, darting from organ prelude to choir loft to elec- tric guitar, back to organ for the offer- ing, back to choir, back to guitar, was our baby, busier than the proverbial one-armed paper-banger. Speaking of church reminds me that I'm supposed to be guest preacher at our church this Sunday. It's Lay- man's Sunday. Very înspiring. Ail the laymen get up and bellow hymns off- key. Those who can't even sing off- key read the seripture. And whatever is lef t over preaches the sermon. Haven't quite chosen my text yet, but there are stili several days to go, and I've narrowed it down to three or four. My first idea was, "Frailty, Thy name is Woman." Then I decided that "Something Is Rotten in the State of Denmark" might. be safer. By the way, these are from the Bible, I hope.
