4The Canadian Statogman, Bowmianvtlle, Freb. 28, 19e8 IDITORIAL COMMENT News Media Had a Field Day and the People Loved Every Minute of It! 1Not since the 1956 Pipe Line Deb- aMe has Canada's Parliament aroused such intense interest among ail classes of citizens from coast to coast as it did last week. For the news media, it was a bonanza that happened just as the Olympics had concluded, the Vietnam war wasn't so critical and, in fact, life was comparatively duli. Then it hap- r r.ed and ail stops were pulled. For a luli week the crisis was kept going. Television cameras, reporters, photog- raphers, feature and editorial writers and cartoonists were worked overtime to keep Up to the fast-moving scene that captured a vast audience. It was wonderful while it lasted. Whether the Liberals were right, wrong or in between in staying with the ship that almost foundered is a mnatter that will be argued for years. At this moment it would appear that they have survived, once again frus- trating their opponents who quite obvi- ously were just as hungry for power as the Liberals were determiried to hang onto it. Our parliamentary history Is fllled with precedents, practices, anid rulings that make both sides of the argument right; it ail depends which side is doing the arguing. The week will not be forgotten, but we suspect that other crises, catastrophes and events wîli soorn shove it into the back- ground with the general public, to be repiaced by something else. Having had some experience in the field from the inside we wauld like ta take issue with those who scream about absenteeism of Members of Parliament from the House. That's what really brought on the crisis in the first place. Most of the critics just dor't under- stand or appreciate the duties, obliga- tions and activities of MPs, nor the demands that are made upan them. We are not trying to excuse them from bèing absent from the House during a crucial vote or a major debate on a controversial subject of national im- portance. Earlier, this debate did not appear to be in that category. They have many other duties aside from sit- ting in the House of Commons or ini committees and they occupy a much larger percentage of their time and demand much more energy than most people realize. We wouId think that quite a few Liberals had probably spent the weekend at home making certain1 delegates had been selected for the leadership convention ln April and had been unable to complete arrangements in time to return to Ottawa on Mon- day. Others, of ail parties, were quit@ likeiy fulfiiling speaking engagements at functions in their constituencies, at- tending meetings of various types at which local voters expect them to be present. Possibiy, somebody in their areas was celebrating a golden wedding or an important person had died and the famiiy and their supporters wouid expect their MP to be on hand for the funerai. These are only a few of the duties and obligations of MPs that crop up on a regular basis to keep him from his seat in the House of Commons. Or put yourself in his place. He was elected in 1965 and had his own business. Following the election, he couidn't just give up or seil that going concern that he had worked many years to buiid. What would happen if an election were called suddenly and he was defeated ? Would he have to start ail over in a new business ? Who couid blame him if he stayed over the odd Monday at home to dlean up some prob- lems when the staff were there ? Frankiy, if the general public only knew the hours they put in, the travel- ling, the middle of the night phone calîs and so on that the Members of Parlia- ment go through ta represent them properly, they would wonder haw and why they do it. Durham's MP Russ Honey was on the job for that vote and more power ta him. Unfortunately, many other MPs with excellent attend- ance records were not there and will be criticized at home by their politîcai opponents. That's the way it goes in poiitics. You can't wîn them ail. There probably wouid have been an election in the near future had this not been a year of great uncertainty economically. In fact, we would have been most interested in seeing the res- uit of a vote on the confidence motion wîthout Mr. Caouette and his Socreds backing the governmènt. When the chips were down and a certain election in the offing if the motion were defeat- ed, we would wagerthat sudden sick- ness would have developed ta keep enough opposition members away for the vote ta carry. Even Mr. Stanfield and his followers muÉt have been re- lieved when Mr. Caouette took every- body off the election .hook that nobody wanted. Somefhing for Everybod At 21sf Sport smen's Shoi March 8th Is the Opening Day of the 1968 Canadien Na- tional Sportsmen's Show which will run through until the 17th and Include Sundays for the first time ln Its history. « On the eve of Its 2lst birth- day the Shaw can look back with pride on the achieve-i ments since the arganization1 began operations ln 1947. 1 About two million dollars have already been raised for conservation of Canada's nat-1 ural resources by this annual1 springtime exhibition. The first show, held ln 1947. show- ed a modest profit of $35,000 -1 the second Show netted $45,000 - ln 1948, the first grants, t.otalling $15,421 were made1 ta conservation. Founded byt a public spirited group ofs citizens, headed by Francis H.( Kortright, the show movedt with immediate success ta be-i coming the biggest show of Itsr kind ln Canada, and onie of1 the biggest on the Northè Ainerican continent. The 19681 Canadien National Sports-t men's Show promises to be one of the best ln the 21-year- old history. l "We will again ha occupy-b lng more than 10 acres ofP exhibition space," said generala manager, Harold Shield.

NDP Women Elect Officers The New Democretic Party Women's Organization, Dur- hem Riding, held a meeting et the home of Mrs. Gould in Bawmenvîîîe on Manday evening, Februarv l9th. An election of afficers was lield witb the foîlowing execu- tive being elected for 1968: President, Mrs. W. Hilli, Hamp- ton; Vice-President, Mrs. H.

It was dacided ta bold a card party in Orono In March and a committea was formed to arrange this. It was decided ta order sanie Centenniai cookbooks cempiled by the Faderai Women's Committea of the New Damocratjc Party for sale in this Riding. Some discussion vies hald on having a dance in Bowmanvilla in April and e commttee was formad ta look into this. Mrs. H. Coutts spoke about the New Democretic Party Women's Holiday Workshop to ha held August l8th t 24th et the United Auto Workars' Education Centre In Port Elgin. She edvisad that this is a good opportunity to meet with women froni across Can- ada ta discuss such things as bousing, recreation, pollution, child cara services, women in elected office, etc. and it is hoped that the Durham Rid- ing Woman's Organization will be able ta send a rapresenta- tive to this workshop. The next meeting will ha held on Tuasday, March 19th at tha home of Mii. D. Heas- mnan, Courtire, . -A tmfnorfty group of dairy farmers In Ontario must be wondering these days if this Is, in fact, a free country, writes C. J. Harris. For what appears t o be simply a convenience in the prov- incial government's bookkeeping, this group may be regulated out of exis- tence. It would be a rank injustice ta the, of course, and also a ioss ta the City consumers who would lose the right ta buy their special product. Victims of the state's arbitrary action are about 900 Jersey and Guern- sey milk producers. The ruling that has been imposed on them by the Ontario Milk Marketing Board is that as far as payment for their product is concerned they are now ta be lumped in with the so-called standard milk producers. The Jersey and Guernsey farmers are con- 'vinced that this will put them out of business. For the consumer, milk is the best food buy for its price. Jersey and Guernsey miik, which is sold at regular price, has the highest faod value in terms of protein, minerais and vite- nins. These herds have a lower volume of production than standard bred cat- tle but as ail Jersey and Guernsey rnîik is sold as bottied milk, the prod- ucers are compensated for their lesser output by the fact that they receive the fiuid milk price for their entire production. Standard producers norm- ally receive the fluîd milk price for about 70 per cent of their shipments and a lower price, the so-called in- dustrial milk price, for the surplus that is made into condensed milk, powdered milk and other products. Ute %anatbian The Ontario government board has now decided that there will be ane price pool and that Jersey and Guern- sey farmers even though ail of their product may be sald as bottled milk, will be paîd on the same basis as stand- ard milk producers. It is significant that rnany of the standard producers, and their associations, are publicly critical of the government edict, aithough they wouid benefit financially. A seeming acknowledgement that Jersey and Guernsey farmers do face extinction is the Milk Board's state- nient that it would permit the produc- ers ta charge dainies a premnium price for their particular milk. The sugges- tion is wrang in principle and probabiy impossible to put into practice. It would be an artificial price increase that cansumers wouid correctly resist. As ta the principle, the gavernment may flot have thought of it, but the suggestion amounts ta a gavernment- approved increase in living casts. Appeais by the Jersey and Guern- sey farmers of the new regulation have been denîed by the Milk Board and the Milk Commission. Now the farmers say they are prepared ta go ta court, ta the Supreme Court of Canada if necessary, ta fight their dlaims that they should flot have ta subsidize other producers that they are in effect being subjected ta an indirect tax, and that they should continue ta be paid for their mulk on the basis of its end use.

The experts wîli argue for years on the question of whether or flot the gov- ernment should have resigned after Monday night's vote. Mr. Pearson chose flot ta resign. He asked Parliament to, vote on a distinct motion of confidence and pramised his government would stand or fail on the resuit of that vote. There are many constitutional authori- ties ta support the position taken by the Prime Minister. There is no excuse for the loss of the vote on Manday night.

The Opposition parties decided ta defeat the government and the government did not have its troops there. It is as simple as that! The future af some participants was advanced . . . that of some was dimmed. Finance Minister Mitchell Sharp showed his pariiamentary inex- perience in Ietting his Bill came toaa vote. House Leader Allan MacEachen came out of it as the star of the Liberal team. Acting Prime Minister Paul Martin was campaigning in Trois Rivieres.

The former Conserva- tive Chief was obviousiy in high delight and one couid discern the fine hand of the aid pro in the Conservative strategy and planning. Liberal House Leader Allen MacEachen said, "Mr. Speaker, 1 am delighted that the Conservative Party has finally got a Leader". The remark was greeted by desk thumping on bath sides of the House.
