We doubt allowing over night will gain ap- proval. From our vantage point the park- ing problem in New Toronto will remain an issue for many years. Some neighbors did not fully appreciate the view and they "blew the whistle" on the offenders. The municipality, which prefers to ignore such ticklieh situations, had no choice but to summon. the guilty party. However, while one man is forced not to use hie front lawn parking lot, the other offenders are let free until some citi- zen complains. New Toronto's Special Committee on Parking studied the problem last week and will report their findings to council next Monday. We imagine they will suggeet changing the existing by-law to facilitate over-night parking on the streete. Iliud if you’re going to break the law it is boner to break it in I less axiom manner. To escape polio parking tickets they chose to park their automobiles on the front lawn.

The 0.H.A. also recommended that hospital capital construction should be financed Jointly and equally by federal, provincial and community sources. that hospitals should be totally ext pt from retail sales tax, {that hospitals should tie thorized to levy service charges on patients to supple- ment revenue from The On- tario Hospital Services Com- mission. The brief recommended that tax policies should be de- veloped to eliminate such problems as the indiscrimin. ate use of land and the 1xrrope- tition between municipalities for industrial development. Rather than increase exist- ing tax rates, the province should tax such services as laundry, dry cleaning, barber and beauty salon services. and hotel and motel accommoda- tion, according to the Retail Council of Canada. The Coun- cil also suggested that cor- porate income tax should be collected by Ottawa. capital and place of business taxes should be eliminated and thr tario should vacate the succes- sion tax field. Big Brother Role For Canada In UN War0n Family Squabbles Quart From Ottawa Forty years ago, in another Me, a similar request, or ra- ther a near-demand, from Bri- tain tor troops for the Chunk crisis, became a turning point in Canadian independence, The position ot the Cana- dian Priqe Minist r, Macken- Tie Kind, at tha‘e time was that Britain could no longer commit Canadian forces to any course. Such decisions were a matter for the Cana- dim Parliament alone.

But thit minor incident had no Mmreeiable effect on Ca. nada's assessment of its inter- national duty. Canadian troops are now stationed in many parts of the world on pence- keeping assignment; and this country is uniquely equipped for such service. A specially trained and equipped infantry battalion is maintained on standby in Canada to provide Canadian Government om- cials thought this . bit of a dirty trick. By naming a fig- ure. Mr. Butler in effect re- stricted the Canadian Govern- ment’s room to manoeuvre. "Be pulled the rug out from under our feet," said one offi- cial.

I'W- you ' It was fairly clear at the time that the Canadian Prime Minister, Mr. Pearson, was disposed to offer Canadian troops for a peace-keeping role provided a satisfactory arrangement could be worked out with the Cypriot presi- dent, Archbishop Makarios. But this request was not made to Canada on any sen- timental grounds. It was not an appeal to old loyalties. It was made rather in the light of Canada‘l previous ctyntri- butions to peace-keeping in the world, and in the light of Canada's contributions to the North Atlantic Treaty Alli- ance, the Commonwealth, and the United Nations.

Besides its United Nations commitments, the Canadian Army provides about " om. cers and men for truce super- visory duties in Viet Nam, Cambodia and Laos.

In the Congo. more than too Canadian Signal Corps staff provide communications, and headquarters personnel tor the United Nations. There are about 900 Cana- dians serving in the United Nations Emergency Force m the Middle East, patrolling a sector of the Egypt-Israeli frontier. This will bring to almost 2,500 the number of Canadian soldiers on peace-keeping u- signments around the world, not including, of course, the tull-strength brigade in NATO service in Europe.
