Erb, minister of public \vurks itt .the
katche\vt1i1 government, is a
'',e*1'fotf;i wow haat only to the ;toy
t•r.11ment of that province, but to the
New Democratic Party as a whole,
at the \'cry time zsitc'11 Thr N1)1' is
5cTki11 • to win the confidence of the
Canadian voters.
\tr, Erb, who, as Saskatchewan's
minister of health, piloted its present
controversial Public health Iegis1a
lion through the provincial house
last year, and paved the way for the
forthcoming- decision on the hues
tie)11, cites[ t\wo reasons for his sudden
resignation from the government
and the party. in the first instance
hr claims the Saskatchewan N1)1'
acted in bad faith by seeking. to iul
piei.nent the .health care plan over
the objections of the province's
doctors. 1-1e had given his word that
the plan would be put into force only
if both doctors and voters were
agreeable.
Another reason given by the of
ficial is that he has lost faith in tare
N1)P to carry out the original ob
jectives of the CCF, since its align.
)lariat with organized labor.
It .mai' well be that Air. i';rb's
latter objection \\'ill be echoed 1)y
voters all across the country as the
Now Party seeks support in its fir'.(
hie) for national recognition. 'There
is no sound obiection, of course, to
the advent of a new• party on the
Canadian political scene. The CCi"
has provided a healthy and active
counter -balance to the two older
parties. But since its alliance with
organized labor there has been a
sharp re -assessment in the minds of
nlan\-- moderate thinkers.
There is a very real fear that the
NDP does not promise freedom of
decision, \iany contend that since
labor unions are supporting the
party, of necessity anion farads will,
to some degree, be used to finance
the political activities of the pari .\
THERE OUGHT TO BE
A. L A W
Just why municipalities in the
rural areas continue to permit the
setting of grass fires remains a com-
plete mystery. Every spring sees a
rash of dangerous outbreaks which
demand the services of the fire de-
part ments, -at
e-•jartments,-at a staggering aggregate
cost. Only a few Clays ago a barn
was lost and a home seriously en-
dangered in our own area, aithough
this particular grass fire was not
inten,tion.al.ly. ignited.
The. city areas have long since
passed by-laws which .make it an in-
dictable offence to start a grass fire
without a permiit.
Experienced agriculturalists can
give no valid reason for burning off
dead grass. The destruction of last
year's cover leaves the soil open to
erosion and robs it of the natural
fertilization ,available if the old grass
is left to be digested by the earth,
ft is possible that the new grass \will
mine up a little more quickly after
elle ground has been burned over,
bite why all the rush: in no time at
1111 the property owners \Vi11 hr

This grass -burning fever is not

n(ss. in aur own case we don't burn
any grass and Ave are bit tired of
paying for the fire calls to the hunks
of those who are so free with their
matches,
Perhaps the best answer to the
problem would be to send a Dili for
1h(4 frill cost of the fire department's
services to each pr'oper'ty owner who
has to have help in putting out the
blazes he has so confidently started.

WOMEN PROMOTE
SEAT BELT USE
The use of seat belts in antolno-
bi]es will ;!et a strong boost across
Canada this month \when more than
7(JJ,(X)0 members of the National
Council of Women of Canada begin
their participation in the coast-to-
coast Women's Compaign for Seat
Belts. In co-operation \vit.h the Ca-
nadian 1 1igh\ -ay Safety Council,
N'C\\• has distributed special kits for
the campaign. They include mes-
sages from Mrs. Vanier, the \vile of
Canada's (governor - General, and
front NCW's president, Mrs. Saul'
11ayes of Montreal.
Mrs. \'anier's message stresses
the \'ital,sa ety factor of seat belts
and declares. "Ordinary common
sense dictates that seat belts should

to the recent success of women's in-
fluence in reducing home accidents,
Mrs. Vanier believed, "/\ similar ef-
fort can lead to the saying of life
and happiness on the highways. If
every women in Canada would 111sist
on the use of scat belts in cars, many
tragedies would certainly he avoid -

bers to be active in the calilpaign,
"'Together'," she wrote. "we can

to 1 Canadian nation."
OUT OF DATE
in view of the corning general
election and the part \vomen ina'y be
expected to play in it as candidates,
party workers, poll clerks and re-
turning officers, the following dic-
11111l o1 Joseph Addison, written

alto, may seen( out of date, Concern-

1111131V all'a'y and cruel passions that
are altogether repugnant to the Soft-
ness, the Modesty and those other
endearing Qualities \\'hick are natur-

'Phe comment was out of date,
even when Addison wrote it, if he
hoped to dissuade women from med-
dling with politics. "ft is true that

illflttence in poliitics was more effec-

It meant, the second major disio-

within two years, It meant saying

made, and starting the process all

the things that took a little of the

But there• were many items for

Cultural advantages the smaller
centre cannot provide. There is a
certain excitement in the city, with
its -good restaurants, its theatres.
its concerts, its major sporting
events. There is a definite feeling
however :little it may be justified,
of being at the centre of things.
Taking the job meant saving
money. It won't be long until the
kids are ready for university.
Think of what we'd save if they
could live at home while attending
college. Right now, it would save
me about $7 a week, which it costs
to get my son to the city for music
lessons every Saturday.
