Between 1960 and 1970 some pork prices in Canada rose while others fell, Two which came down in price, even despite iefletion, Were pork shoulder and cottage roil. Iry October 1960 the average retail price of pork shoulder in Toronto Was 60.4 cents a pound; in September 1970, 59.7 cents a pound. And in the same period, cottage roll in Toronto fell front /6.9 cents a pound to 73.1 cents a pound. that's why the Huten County Section of the Ontario Pork Producers says: .140411 UP WITH POIRCIR He'll go a longwAy to keep you warm A long way.

As many or my constituents are aware, I have just finished attending meetings of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, better known as NATO, in the Hague in Holland. It was, a very interesting experience to say the least. The first three days were spent ' on committee meetings Witt} separate committees set 141) for discussion on defence, political affairs, economie affairs, as well as social and education affairs. About two of our members attended each of the committee meetings for the three days. I was allotted to the economics committee and found the discussions very interesting. Canada has redpced its commitment in expenditure to maintain defence troops in Western Europe to 'counteract any possible aggression on the part of the Soviet Union. The United t",tates are presently bearing the major share of the expenses as well as the supplying of troops, and are desperately endeavouring to have a larger share of this expense taken over by the Eastern European countries who receive the main benefit from the maintenance of the defences in NATQ. 'As a result of the meetings that were held, it seems evident that these Western European countries are not prepared to supply increased finances towards this cause, and I surmised from the discussions that they are reluctant to do so because they feel secure that the United States will continue to supply the finances and troops needed. The Western European countries are reluctant to antagonize the U.S.S.R. in any manner that may make tensions worse, but in the meantime evidence shows that Russia is strengthening her forces and while they maintain that these forces will only be used for defence, I am sure there is no one who really knows what they may do with the strength in the military they are building up. Most of the partners in NATO do not consider Canada as being able to play a very significant role in any confrontation that may take place, but it seems to me they tend to forget the tremendous contribution-Canada made to the European liberation and defence during past wars. Of very great interest to the delegation were talks we had for two days in Brussels, Belgium, regarding the organization of the European economic communities, better known as the common market. The discussions centred around Great Britain and that they might achieve,entry in the near future in this community. Many Canadians, are not aware that this community's goals are to achieve political union es well as economic union and are well advanced in that regard. The six countries involved have set up a central Parliament in Belgium but the representatives are appointed by each country's Parliament rather than elected. Most of the officials seem to feel quite sure that Britain will be a member of the common market in about three years' time. The system that they operate under with regard to agriculture products is extremely detrimental to Canada's export p ossibilities in agriculture products. Prices for all commodities are set by the community which guarantee a reasonable return to the producer and any importer in the community that imports agriculture products from another country is reqpired to pay the price they can be purchased at in that other country as well as a levy that can be as high as 50% on top of the purchase price. The levy is paid by the importer to a levy fund maintained by the common market, and this levy fund is then in turn used to subsidize exports of agricultural products, whenever they are in surplus. As you can see, this not only allows them to buy our products at the world-free market price but when they use this additional fund to subsidize exports to other countries they can in effect drive the world-free market prices down and set the price that we can receive for our products from other countries as well as themselves. In the meantime, the United States and Canada are expected to allow free access for their manufactured products into our country and this is a tremendous hardship on our manufacturing firms and productive workers, and is one very visible cause for our present rate of unemployment. The rate of wages paid by manufacturers in these European .eountries including England,' is considerably lower than the rate our manufacturers are expected to pay, so their cost of production is lower and they can easily compete with our products. In this way, they achieve the best of both worlds and insure very nearly full employment. If our country is ever to achieve status as a great manufacturing nation where we can manufacture many of the products now imported, often out of our original raw materials, it seems to me that some consideration must be given to the setting of import quotas of many manufactured products, especially textiles. Some effective retaliation as what I have suggested would seem necessary, especially if Britain should, become a member of this European economic community. Although water in its natural state is never absolutely pure, manmade pollution is modern society's most serious water problem.

A Moonlight Ride Remembered While racing may be the most exciting part of snowmobiling for many enthusiasts, and the aspect receiving the most pub- licity, this old adult has most fond memories of a much more sentimental endeavor. Not that it was romantic by usual • standards, but it was — nevertheless — A Moonlight Ride! It began in a mundane way, as a "family test" of the new Mercury snowmobiles for 1971. Conducted, late last winter thru a delightful woods in the Wis- consin hitherlands near that Brunswick division's Fond du Lac headquarters, it also seemed an ideal time to intro- duce wives of the staff to the fun of snowmobiling. It WIRS .an unexpected plea- sure! • „ cool clear moonlight ca- ressing the recently fallen top cover on the still-deep snow. a mixture of personalities; from the desk-bound and so- phisticated to hard-nosed tech- nicians and rugged outdoors- men and women — all equally enchanted by the majestic gran• deur of white birch frosted by fresh snow in the stark blue- 'white of the winter nite, Following thorough technical checks of the prototype ma- chines, then an hour's smooth ride thru the woods, there was a simple—but delightful—camp- fire supper in the woods. Then, after lingering coals had died btu, each not so young couple took the longer way home, one machine behind the whet; cruising for two hours in the frosty, tient, moonlight. Even if 'you are streng-wRIed enough to put aside the new UNICEF Art ,Engegernent Calendar until January, you may find it difficult, once the year begins, to ration its delights. There is a new picture for every week of the year; but what begins as a casual inspection may take you well into October or so before you realize you have been peeking ahead. For these are no ordinary calendar illustrations. They are brilliantly coloured reproductions of 8 x 8 foot murals painted by children in Mexico City for the XIX Olympiad in 1968. How children from Canada and, 48 other countries all over the world came to be painting 8 x foot murals in the middle of Chapultepec Park is a fascinating story of an international experiment that grew out of one woman's vision. Determined that children should have some part in shaping the society in which they live, Senora Susana Esponda saw, as a logical starting point, their inclusion in the cultural events planned for the Olympiad. Following her suggestion, the Organizing Committee of the Games of the XIX Olympiad extended invitations to 123 governments to send up to four young artists — aged 6 to 15 — to be the guests of the Olympiad for almost a month. Forty-nine countries responded and, after national contests and other methods of selection, dispatched 188 youngsters to participate in A "Festival of Mural Painting for Children". These were joined by children selected from the host country. A boarding school was converted into a' Children's Village to house them. Young people were enlisted to act as chaperons and interpreters. Cultural activities, sports, field trips, and attendance at Olympic events were arranged, And, after a few practice sessions, the children went to work. Eight-foot-square aluminum panels had been hinged into cubes which stood like giant building blocks in pleasant, grassy Chapultepec Park. Each child was assigned one side of a cube, provided with brushes, pails, and pots of paint, and assisted in gathering their taififfrinat Mgt' brartistS whb also served as interpreters.

For more than a month, the murals remained on 4iepiay along the Paseo de la Reforma, and were hailed by critics as the highlight of the Cultural Olympics. The children have long since returned to their homelands, their lives immeasurably enriched by their remarkable experience, But some of their paintings remain to enrich every week of the coming year for those who choose the UNICEF calendar for their 1971 engagement book.
