A, Forrester Roy C. Forrester - EdItor aMiManatger WHAT'Sl'A AFLAGi It appears that flags flying in Orono are but decora- tions for three of our public buildings. On Saturday, ail across Canada flags were lowered to haîf mast ini a memorial to the death of Vincent Massey, a Canadian, who has been prorinent in the affairs of this country as weli as those iný the local area. Flags in Orono at the Post Office, Township Hall and Orono Municipal Building remained at full staff with rio recognition being given to a great Canadian who made his home a few miles from this rnunicipality, just north of Port Hope. Surely t here is some- responsibi1ity in flying our flags, especially those on public buildings and their use sh.ould be more than just decorative. One building la Onono continues to fly a tattered and tor C anada flag. Let's try anid do some better in he future. MEMORIAL TO MASSEY I'NSERVICE .TO (CANA DA Canada pays final tributý to day to the first citizen of this country appointed to the auspicious role of govern- or-genenal. History has aiready shown Vincent Massey as an exemiplary choice as the man to inaugurate the im- Portant new phase of nationalism la its finest sense.

He maintained Canadians cannot live without tra- ditions. "You must have roots and that's what gives tradi- tions to us," he was quoted as saying in one of bis last interviews. "Tradition gives society its meanîng. It gives vou~ a sense of continuity. You can't start fresh every week." In his tura Vincent Massey established a tradition of warmth and accessibility which his successors have fol- lowed. His, image as an austere patrician was one reserved -for the affairs of state. On his extensive travels he dem- ontrated a keen and very human interest in the work and welfare of his feliow-Canadians, wherever he found them. Just a year before his death he spoke words to Canadians which should be long-rernembered: "I have faith in, Canada- that she'll corne through this rather difficult period with its melees and confusion and internai disagreement and conflict. . . "But it's flot going to be an automatic thing. It's goîng to happen because of the will and determination of t4e large elements of Canada to make it possible. And teeyou get right back to, the question of faith, f aith in the country, belief in it." Dis career represented a life-tîrne of service faith- fui-to; this belief, As such it will be remembered by Canadianis. -The Oshawa Times îAdiiversary of the Federal Income Tax Since the beginning of the year,, Canadians have been celebrating the Centennial of Canadian Confederation and, in the midst of ail the events marking this important occasion, miany of us have probably fongotten that 1967 mraks another anniversary - the Golden Anniversary of the federal income tax. It was fifty years ago, in 1917, that Sir Thomas White, then Minister of Finance, introduced his Income Tax Bill. Although reluctant to do so, Sir Thomas was faced with a wartime ernergcncy and feit that emergency measures were necessary. It was accepted, equally reluct- antly if' not grîmly, by the people on that basîs. Canadians at the time were assured that it was a temporary tax only and that it would be abolished at war's end. t is interesting to compare some statistics: in 1917, the income tax on corporations was 4 per cent - it is now more than 12 times that; a married man wthout family earning $6,000 a year was required to pay $120 income tax. -bh would now pay roughly $600. Fifty years have passed. Not only is the income tax * still with us, but at, great expense to the taxpayer a Royal Comission has completed a massive report on the sub- ject and has recommended new ways, to use the income *taxc structure. Ail this just goes to show that'nothing is as "per- manent" as a "'temporary" tax. Did you find that there, weren 't- many opportûnities for reading TO WORK IN ABC this past month?
