• Froni:Our Early Files
Pabl Martin, secretary of state for
external affairs, has announced that the
first three of .a number of Canadian
administrators will fill overseas posts
shortly in Asian and Caribbean eco-
nomic assistance programs.
Quote: "The External Aid Office
field representatives are being second-
ed to the Department of External Af-
fairs and will work through Canada's
missions in recipient countries to permit
a co-ordinated approach to the whole
range of factors affecting the Canadian
development assistance program."
And, to explain the international
goodwill gesture still further: "Their
work will include liaison and supervis-
ory functions in connection with the
investigation, construction, administra-
tion and assessment of capital projects,
as well as other related aid duties."
Carrying Canada's banner will be
D. S. Blaine, 56, of Almonte, a retired
12.C.A.F. air commodore; E. H. Webb,
54, of Ottawa, a retired army brigadier;
and C. L. Mofford, 49, of Vancouver,
a retired navy commander.
They are ail, it will be noted,
former career members of Canada's
armed forces, and where could a better
training ground be found for economic
advisers?
Of $11,000,000,000 budgeted for
the armed forces since 1960, about
$9,500,000,000 has been spent by uni-,
formed brains to maintain the woeful
status quo, without improving Canada's
defence position.
And that's just meat and potatoes.
Extras, like the Avro Arrow, cost
"This do-nothing behaviour demon-
strates the power of the corporations
over provincial and federal govern-
ments."
A quote from the leader of a mili-
tant international industrial union?
Nope.
It's from Walter Miller, president
of the Ontario Farmers' Union.
Mr. Miller is currently gallumphing
through the grass-roots attempting to
triple membership in his organization.
To what "do-nothing" behaviour
does Mr. Miller refer?
"In closing the Chatham, sugar
manufacturing plant," Mr. Miller says,
"Tate and Lyle, owner of the Canada
and Dominion Sugar Company Ltd.,
have (sic) apparently, demonstrated
complete disregard for the well-being
of people whose livelihood -has, for
years, depended on Canada and Domin-
ion's sugar refinery."
Since the beet farmers are inde-
pendent businessmen, like Tate and
A 13-year-old girl set an example
Monday night that Clinton adults would
do well to follow.
Her name is Catherine Freeman,
and she is a Grade 8 student at Clin-
ton Public School.
She attended town council as a
Girl Guide of the 3rd Clinton Pack to
study for her citizenship badge.
It was a blustery, bad night.
Seats reserved for interested resi-
dents were empty. But they are always
empty, If Catherine could make ,it

at least another $360,000,000 of the
taxpayers' money.
Some $300,000,000 was squand-
ered on the Avro Arrow program.
An army personnel carrier, the
Bobcat, suffered 10 years of testing at
a cost of $10,000,000 before it, too,
was scrapped.
A Canadian anti-submarine hydro-
foil project which so far has cost $50,-
000,000 is due to be scuttled.
Last year, more than $80,000,000
worth of obsolete National Defence
equipment was, sold for less than
•$3,000,000. -
So-a-oh . . . Lots of good Canadian
luck, Asia. And the same to you, Carib-
bean.
Lyle, with control over their own pro-
perty, like Tate and Lyle, they will
simply switch to another crop and suf-
fer little. Mr. Miller must be speaking
on behalf of the plant's industrial work-
ers.
He goes on, however: "Ontario
farmers should now be convinced of
the power wielded over provincial and
federal governments by international
corporations."
Come now, Mr. Miller.
For years, Ontario farmers have
been convinced of the power wielded
over provincial and federal govern-
ments by Ontario farmers. Many a
bloodied politician has also been con-
vinced.
But Mr. Miller says closing of the
Chatham sugar plant should bring
home to farmers of all kinds the fact
that none of them can stand alone.
So, farmers of Ontario unite! You
have nothing to lose but your capitalis-
tic individualism.
through the weather, so could anyone
else with the will to try.
Mayor Don Symons and members
of council welcomed Catherine. At last,
someone• was interested enough in the
government of Clinton to attend a
council meeting,
At her age, Catherine has no vote.
When she is old enough to vote, how-
ever, she will know what she is doing.•
Perhaps a few tax-paying adults
could attend council meetings to try
for their citizenship badges.

Well, the old 'flu bug, or
something equally virulent, hit
me on the weekend. This col-
umn comes to you via gobs of
asprin, hot toddies and sheer
will-power.
y Sunday morning, I woke up
feeling like a mackerel. Not
just out of the sea, fresh and
quivering. No. One of those
that have been gutted, pack-
aged, frozen and then cooked
over a hot fire and re-frozen
and re-cooked.
My wife had several theo-
ries, as usual. First, I had a
hangover, plain and simple.
There's no such thing, but I
reminded her that we'd spent
the previous evening quietly
watching television and fight-
ing as usual. Proof positive
Came when she offered me a
hair of the dog and I recoiled
in horror.
-• Next, -she decided I was
going through the change of
life, with those hot and cold
'flushes. I pointed out that my
.breasts hadn't grown, and that
I wasn't growing any more
hair on head, face or legs,
which have always been like
an Airedale's. She was discern-
bobulated.
L' Finally, she proclaimed it
was food poisoning, because
Kim and I are always thawing
fish and stuff and then re-
freezing it, for some reason.
Obviously I'd had bad fish.
'turned out we'd had steak, all
fresh.
Couldn't convince her that I
might have the 'flu, which has
been knocking people on their
keisters for weeks at a tithe
around here, all winter. That's
because I never get sick. Or
rather, I'm half-sick all ` the

didn't have a sore throat or the
snuffles or the sneezes. But I
haven't felt like that since Oc-
tober, 1944, when five burly
Germans set about me with
fists, boots and rifle-butts, for
some trifling crime which I
can't even recall.
And I took the same escape
this time that I did that time. I
read. That time, after they
cooled off, the Germans
brought me a couple of books.
But I lay there, in a box-car,
on a siding in the Utrecht sta-
tion-yard in Holland: and read
Upton Sinclair. Since I was a
dangerous criminal, my wrists
were wired together, as were
my ankles. There were no
handcuffs. It took some physi-
cal manoeuvring, and I could
see out of only one eye, but I
read. And the pain floated
May.
About the third night, the
Feldwebel in charge actually
brought me a tin of poisonous
coffee and we talked, in a gar-
ble of English, German,
French. We had only the most
rudimentary idea of what the
other chap was talking about,
but it bucked me up. I think he
felt better, too.
It was about the same last
Weekend. I read. I could read
for only about ten minutes at a
shot, without half-fainting. But
