ORONO WEEKLYt TIMES, THURSDAY, Russell C. Honey, M.P. Northumberland-Durhaml Many programns which Canadi- mns take for grantedoperate on _D shared-cost basis. The Hospital linsurance Plan,, post-secondary t ducation costs, medicare (in -hose Provinces which have join- Ad the federal plan) and other ()rograms are operated hy the ~rovinces but the federal govern- 'uaent makes substantial (usually -0%) contributions. The Student Loan Plan isý an fxtreme example of a plan ad- ininistered by the Provinces but -,il of the money involved is paid by the federal government. Un- der this plan, the student mnust make the application to the Prov- ýnce' and the Province alone can ~iecide whether the application s granted. The federal authority ras no say, but if the application Js granted it foots the bill. For many years there has been -restlessness at the federal' level because often the Ottawa govern- ient receives no credit for its rontributions. To do something good and not get credit for it lrom the Voters is a metter of -iretty serious concern to a poli- --ician A further worrisom-e thing at, _his level. is the tax-sharing ar- rangements with the Provinces, If there is anything a politiciani .nates worse than doing soMe- thing and not getting credit Ai l -o collect taxes and hand the ynoney over to another politician for hlm to spend. This is the situation now where Canadians ~pay bath federal and provincial mecome tax. Every time he pays iiis income tax bill the Canadian gets a great dislike for the fed- eral gqvernment because that is where his cheque goes . . . It sn't fair . . . the Province gets a sice of the cheque . . . but this is not generally realized so +fhe province is not included in :he hate bit. This week Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Benson indicated that the federal governiment wil try to get the constitutional and taxing areas of the federal provincial re- Iationship back in to perspective. Mlost of the shared-cost programs are within the constitutional au- thority of the Provinces and the P'rime Minister indicated that lhe federal government should move baek to its own legisiation field once it has 'been successful in estabffishing an uniform pro-, gram across the country. When th is happened the federal gov- ernment would, of course, trans- -fer to the Provinces sufficient tax po!irft to enable thiem to con- tinue to operate_ the. programns themselves. in these circumstances Cana- dians 'would no doubt stili file only one tax return. I think that in the very near future the col- lection of income tax may' be donc by a joint federal-provinci- al authority and if this happens the tax return will clearly indi- cate that you are paying a "fed- eral-provincial" tax.

The Re-alignment Committee of the Oshawa Presbytery met the Officiai Board of the Newtonville Charge on. Monday evening, Nov- ember -18th in Newtonville. They were asked to vote on the rec- omnienddtion that "Newcastle and Newtonville Pastoral Charg- es become a two-p)oint Charge; the ordained minister to reaide in Newcastle. Kendal, Shiloh and Newtonville to be amalgptmaied at Newtonville. The Officiai- Board voted a- gainst this. Then the Rev. H. A. Mellow explained the situation to the Board stating that one of the main reasons for asking that a re-alignment be made was be- cause of the shortage of ordained ministers lu the United Church of Canada. He implied that the re-aligument committee were op- en to any suggestions frQm the Board. A motion was made that "The Newcastle and Newtonville Past- oral charges be served by an or- dained man and a retired min- ister or a layman. The ordained man preacli every other Sunday lu each church and the layman or retired miniâter aN ernate with him." This suggestion was voted on and the motion carried. If this suggestion were adted upon it would release an ordained minister for service elsewhere. REPORT. FROM OTTAWA Reeves, of Dur. Smith to Open' Bridge at Trent Reeve Glenn Brown o!

Lung Cancer Epi- deniic Mounting The death rate from the lung cancer epidemie plaguing Can- ada increased 10 per c 1ent be- tween 1966 and 1967, the Minister of National* Health and Welfare, Honourable John Munro, report- ed- recently. The disease caused 4,318 deaths in 1967, Up from 3,844 in 1966. 0f these1 deaths, 3,706 occurred among 'men, 618 among women. The rate per 100,- 000 Population, statistically stand- ardized to the 1961 census popu- lation to allow comparison, was up for men from 32.6 lu 1966 tao 36.3 in 1967.' For wo-.ien the increase was from 5.3 to 5.8. Lung cancer is now the lea d- îng cause of death from cancer. in Canada for men and for men and women combined. Twenty- four percent of' maie cancer deaths and five per cent of fe- maie cancer deaths were due to this disease lu 1967. "The tragedy", saidl Mr. Mun-_ ro, "is that so many lung cancer deaths are preventable. Most are attributed to cigarette smoking. ,Obviously the best prevention is for a person to neyer start the habit. However, it usually'takes many years of exposure to cigar- ette smoke before lung cançer develops. As long as the disease is not already present, oin discon- tinuance of smoking the risk of its development gradually de- creases until it approaches that cf a non-smoker. The risk of oth- er cigarette-smoking diseases - chronic bronchiîs, emphysema and coronary heart disease - ai- 50o decreases when the habit is dropped. "My department will continue to do everything possible to en- courage non-smoking or, where that preventative is noat achieved, KODAK I n tamatic J.104 Camera Outf *t Sugg. ist 24.50 Camplete outfit with 'camera, wrist strap, color film, flashcube,batteries. 18.
