Prime Minister Diefen- baker should have granted of money involved were not principles of right public conduct were. Mr. Pellet in remaining silent about what actually transpired has weakened his position as a member considerably. Prime Minister's action in defending him and attempting to cut off further probing by the opposition may have been a loyal gesture but it was certainly an ill-conceived one.

Mr, Thos. Young and Mr. James Carter asked Pickering council if they would put a parking ban on West ag cars in an effort to discourage people from using the street as a park- ing lot and holding parties by the: river. Mr. Young said that as many as 20 cars line the streets. He said that the offenders are not local but come from | Scarboro and Toronto. He stated they raange in age from 60 to 30 and are! not all teenagers by any means. stressed that foul language, and noisy hot rods permeates the air, ' "There is a lot of hooliganism," Mr, Young saiid. "They drink and run around in the nude." 'HITBY'S FIRST 5-STOREY "BUILDING COMING Excavation is now underway for a new five-storey office building at the }¢ corner of Brock and Dundas streets in He' ity. The final account from Bruce Taylor of Ringwood for $166 was approved for payment. Mr. Taylor had been the part-time dog-catcher for Mark- ham in 1958. Clipped Comments Forthright warning against growing tendency to make credit an instrument of gdvernment policy comes from To- ronto financier E. H, Ely. In his pres- sidential address at annual meeting of Canadian Investment Dealers' Asso- ciation at Banff, Mr. Ely points out that "measures in this derection would impose on our industry a form of reg- ulation that would be unthinkable for a peacetime economy. They would not only sap the vitality of our indus: try but would greatly retard economic development in this country." Mr, Ely is right. - Government con- trol and direction of credit would mean that investment would be governed by political rather than market forces. In- evitably, priority in use of money and credit, in such circumstances, would be accorded those projects that happened to find favour in official circles at Ottawa, while other'and more worth- while credit requirements would take second place and might not be met at all." A' strong, free money market, is one of the first essentials of dynamic na- tional growth. Money and credit manipulation by the state no less sure- ly constitute a major step: towards soccialism and the controlled economy. --The Letter Review CROWN CORPORATIONS Crown Corporations and other agen- fes of government are always busy evising ways of cutting partiament- Whitby.

Retail stores will be housed on the ground floor of the building which is | ' omy. Doubtless autonomy for Crown corporations and other government agencies is, in the eyes of those who manage such bodies, a useful device for escaping close scrutiny by Parlia- ment of their spending and other ac- tivities. But is certainly not in the public interest. what they might do in the way of gifts or pledges to help our church fulfill its duty in the education of children in the Christian faith, and to contact the Rector or the Wardens accordingly. The Sunday School held its final classes on June 14th and a closing service for children and adults was held last Sunday morning, Our parish picnic is to be held on June 80th (Tuesday) at 2 pm. All who are planning to attend are asked to meet at the church at that time, so that cars may be filled and transpor- tation arranged for everyone. We will then proceed to Spring Hill park, where there will be swimming, races and other activities. Please bring your own lunches, Jce-cream, soft drinks, and tea will be provided. We hope all families in the parish will try to attend this annual outing. Our thanks to Mrs. Kenny and Mrs. Porter who are in charge of arangements. The Afternoon Guild will hold a Bake Sale on the library lawn this Saturday, June 27th at 1.30 p.m. Come and pick out a cake or pie for the week-end, and help our church work at the same time. " Our Rector was recently elected president of the newly-formed Mini- sterial Association of Port Perry, This group of local ministers also has Rev. J. K. Braham as Secretary-Treasurer. Another meeting will be held in Au- gust and it is hoped to include mini- sters from the area around as well as our local clergy. We wish them well in their ecumenical work. Some sixteen members of the Even- ing Guild held an enjoyable closing party at the home of Mrs. Porter on June 8th. Court Whist was played, followed by a supper of barbecued chicken, salads and coffee. The exe- cutive and members of the group ex- tend their thanks to Mrs. Porter for the use of her home. 24 J The Sunday School teachers have held their final meeting for the cur- rent year. An organizational meet- ing will be held in August to arrange Parliament itself is frequently to blame for the costly empire-building that is engaged in by those who boss crown corporations and other govern- ment agencies. Evidence of this is found in testimony 'of Auditor General Watson Sellar before Commons public accounts committee concerning the Canada Council and the $100,000,000 of public funds it administered. Asked by CCF MP Douglas Fisher, "Then what authority has this committee to examine council affairs or make re- commendations?" Mr, Sellar rightly replied, "You could make recommend- ations on the legislation setting up this council." Matter in issue is not whether the Canada Council has acted wisely or t - otherwise in disposition of funds at its disposal. Real crux of the matter 'is! that, as legislation now stands, Canada Council, a public corporation handling public funds, is not directly account- able to parliament for its actions and its policies, --The Printed Word. NOT WORKING BECOMING BIG BUSINESS We recently read in a magazine that about 15 percent off all personal in- come in now paid out for non-work This includes life insurance, pensions, dividends, interest and rent. Did you ever stop to think that not working had become big business? While it is true that that more are are working than cvery before, it is also true that more are not working. The number in the latter class is stead- ily rising and will no doubt continue to do so. --Stouffville Tribune Anglican Notes The plans for our addition to the Parish Hall have been approved in principle by the Executive Council of ' Synod. This means that, as soon as | we have sufficient funds collected, we may go ahead with the building. As many members of the congre- gation already know, efforts are be- ing made to encourage at least 60 members of the church to contribute $100. each either immediately, or: over al, 2 or 3 year period. Several hundred dollars have already been collected this way but more is requir- ed before we can go ahead with con- struction. The extra space for teach- ing and meetings is badly needed, as we have often mentioned before in, this column, and it is to be hoped that'we will be able to build this year and not have to teach our children in crowded, noisy and unsuitable condi- tions all next year, We would therefore ask all mem- bers of the parish and friends of the church to consider most seriously classes and teachers for the fall. A I new class for 12-year olds is expected to be started next year. This group has previously been taught together with 13 and 14's, but our Board of Religious Education for the Diocese has recently inaugurated a special course of pre-Confirmation studies to be taught specifically to 12 year olds. A service of public Baptism will be held this Sunday. Those to be Bap- , tised are the infant children of the | Adderley and Luke families. rworth, Mr. and Mrs. Fuller will be away on vacation this year from approxim- ately July 26th to August 23rd. They will spend a week at the Ontario Ag- ricultural College in Guelph, attendinz the school for Rural clergy, and the balance of their holiday visiting along the St. Lawrence and in the province | of Quebec. This will be our last column until September as church activities slack- en off for the summer months. We would like to thank all those who have contributed to this column for thelr help; and especially Mr. Fuller for his unfailing patience with our many requests. 0f Many Things by AMBROSE HILLS | | BEATING THE TIME SQUEEZE | I Ygrab every new book, Few of them excite me.

By doing this, he will find he has a wealth of time for leadership and development, lh McCay acknowledges that the book is the result of his own adventure in self-management. And an exciting adventure it is. One of a firm of psychologists who attempted to help business leaders to solve problems, Mec- Cay made some interesting discoveries. Men at the top are top men in count- less way, not only in brain power. They have spent a great deal of the time they salvaged by manging time in self-improvement, and in the improve- ment and inspiration of their asso- ciates. ) - McCay specializes in passing this kind of information along to those of us who do not have at our disposal a battery of psychologists. He tells us how to manage time, not so that we may loaf longer, but so we may, as in- dividuals, improve ourselves and con- [tribute more to the world we live in. "And as a payoff for applying the prin- ciples he deals with, you may expect a release from the pressure of time. Those who feel that their success or failure depends on luck or rich uneles or pull will not care for this hook at all. Those who know, instinctively, that in this world you get pretty much what you are worth, will welcome the book as a guide to increasing their that those who need it most will be least likely to read it.
