TIMELY WARNING
The report of the Glasse() Com-
mission on w)werninent efficiency
inakes truly interesting reacting. Ap-
pointed some nlr)llths ago to make
recommendations to the federal gov-
ernment on the places where its own
system needs overhauling-, the com-
mission pulled no punches when it
stated that "millions" could he saved
if red tape and duplication of effort
were chit out.
This particular commission is an
interesting; body, for one of its mem-
bers is former auditor -general Wat-
son Sellar, a Mian who reported fear-
lessly throughout the rears he was in
office on the inefficiency of govern-
ment. His lon;; experience has no
doubt led the commission to many
pointed observations.
In all likelihood the report of the
commission will 111eet the same:fate
as its hundreds of predecessors. The
parts which are palatable to govern-
ment will be implemented and the
rest will he forgotten.
The particular 111atter under
study by the Glasse() Commission,
however, makes its efforts more than
ordinarily interesting to Canadians.
Democracy is a fine tray of life —
chiefly because we, who are its sub-
jects, are left to our own devices. We
have just about all the freedoms
there are, and we enjoy them to the
frill. In fact, we have developed such-
a grandiose sense of our rights that
it has become unfashionable to even
suggest that the filthy literature he
removed from the newsstands.
All this freedom is conducive to a
relaxed and pleasant existence—one
in which we seldom pause to think of
the price our relaxation is likely to
exact from us and our children. One
of the most costl', aspects of democ-
racy is inefficiency at all levels of
government, regardless of the party
in power. virtually every citizen of
the nation has hail personal experi-
ence with this; sort of thing — its
ramifications are innumerable,
As an example, just this past

the Board stated, that the policy of
the Board has been such that licences
for the "tavern" type of establish-
ment are riot granted in small cen-
tres. The board has the power Of dis-
cretion in this matter under seetion
21, (3) R.S.C), Liquor license Act,
195() \vllich states "The Board may
restrict the cumber of licences or of
any class of licences which it issues
in any municipality."
The authorities were quite em-
phatic that the policy of the hoard on
the subject is such that proper ac-
commodation must be provided be-
fore any type of license is granted,
and that in small colnmllnities this
includes hotel accommodation of the
proper calibre.
This of course does not mean
that the Board's polio' may not
change, and it could as far as the Act
is concerned grant a licence to a "ta-
vern" type of establishment at its
discretion.
Before such a license could be is-
sued however, the applicant would
have to comply with Board regula-
tions onaccommodation governing
taverns, and facilities which must be
arranged, and are quite stringent as
to floor space and so forth.
week we received no less than five
registered letters addressed to mem-
bers of our family . .. four of whom
are dead, the most recent seven years
ago and the earliest nearly 30 years
ago. The messages contained in the
envelopes turned out to be warnings
that unless the corporation fees of a
family company were paid within ten
days the letters patent would be can-
celled. Total amount of the unpaid
fees, $228.
The company m question surren-
dered its letters patent 39 years ago
last April. What a lot of bookkeep-
ing somebody has had to do in the
intervening years!
Instances of this sort are myriad
where government is concerned. Per-
haps no individual can be blamed.
Government has become a sprawling
business, almost beyond the control.
of those who take the reins.
One.of the first steps toward eco-
nomy—at a time when economy has
become the watchword of the nation
—might he a thorough and searching
study of the working force employed
by government. Civil servants and
others on the public payroll make up
a tremendous segment of our popu-
lation. One of the most important
questions we face is whether or not
all these employees are vital to the
welfare of the .state, and whether or
not those who hold jobs are doing
them speedily and efficiently.
When a civil service force grows
to the proportion it has assumed in
Canada, it begins to wield a tremen-
dous power. No government leader
has the courage to trim and revamp
as he should because he is dealing
with such a powerful mass of voters.
Civil servants, of the better var-
iety, are vital to the proper function-
ing of government, but they are
prone to operate under Parkinson's
law—the rule which makes it advis-
able for every employee to have at
least two underlings for his own pro-
tection.
We have heard some of the
moves government intends to make
to better Canada's financial position.
Armed forces expenditures are being
cut; imports from other countries,
many of them drastically needed, are
limited or placed under tariffs ;
taxes, wherever possible are being in-
creased. In short, the general public
is once again to pay the bill, The re-
port of the Glassco Commission cer-
tainly indicated that some of the
most important and effective moves
could he made right inside the par-
liament buildings.

This week my wife and I had an
anniversary, No, we didn't eele-
brate it. We just had it. There are
no celebrations when these mile-
stones loom up, out of the do-
mestic fog. We merely observe
them, with a mixture of wonder
awe and incredulity.
Sixteen years of wedded bliss.
Hah! Sixteen years of sharing bed
and board with a strange woman
I'd never even laid eyes on until
I was 25. As the kids say, "How
crazy can you get?
Into each life some rain must
fall, as the old song puts it, But
it didn't forecast a full-scale
storm. It was raining hard the
day we were married, and it's been
thundering and lightning ever,

One thing about our marriage,
though, We started off on the
right foot, And we've never been
in step since.
Yes, we were well organized,
financially secure and emotionally
.`nature, None of this rushing into
a hasty, ill-considered, poorly -
matched union that we see so
often among young people today.
Everything was well planned and
carefully prepared before we leap=
ed into the quicksand.
We were just starting fourth
year college. I said, "Let's get mar-
ried," She said, "All right." We
dug up a minister and a few
mourners, and plighted the good
old troth, We then jumped into a
borrowed car and took off for a
honeymoon in a borrowed cottage,
where we lived on love and borrow-
ed money.
And when we returned, there was
none of this business of moving in
with the folks. No, I rented a
smart li't'tle apartment where my
bride and I were going to live just
like real, married people. The nei-
ghborhood was a little on the shab-
by side—just a block from the red-
light district, but it was only $10
a week, I made sure we arrived
after dark and she didn't even
notice the poolroom next door.

I wish I could say that I car-
ried her over the threshold. I',l
planned to, but I couldn't find the
key. And there followed our first
fight, one of those brief and bitter
altercations that have been so fre-
quent in the subsequent years, as
I have looked for various keys in
front of various doors all over the
country,
Perhaps this incident took- the
keen edge off her thrill at enter-
ing our first home. At any rate,
when the crumby old landlady
finally let us in, the bride didn't
stand there and squeal with delight
as Id expected, She took one swift
glance around, threw me the first
of several thousand murderous
looks, and burst into tears.
I,didn't understand her then, and'
I've been trying since that Septem-
ber day 16 years ago with no more

the corridor a little way. And I've
been spoiling that girl ever since,
We've been through' a lot togeth-
er in the ensuing years; better and
worse, richer and poorer, sickness
and health, children and mortgages
and you've only to take a look at
us to know which one has thrived
on it.

OF MANY THINGS
by Ambrose Hills
At a business meeting the other
day I was asked, casually, how I
spent my Sunday. I answered,
deadpan, that, "I gathered wild-
flowers in the woods with Car-
melite."
This poetic answer created a
stunned silence, then some guffaws.
Fact is, I actually had spent most
of my Sunday exploring the woods
with a couple of old friends. My
friend's wife is usuallly called. Carm
but I used her full name for poetic
effect, and got the reaction I had
expected fromthe businessmen
assembled, •
Whether you gather wildflowers
or not, this business of hoofing it
about through the woods is good
for the soul, and the body. I had
enjoyed it so much that I decided
to get out more and walk more
while our summer lasts.
Over a holiday week -end, I took
my twin girls for a hike. We slid
about five miles of country- lanes
and back roads, I slept that night
like I have not slept for some while
—a sound and dreamless sleep. I
was a bit stiff In the morning,
but felt good . , . really good. I've
been increasing my mileage ever
since, even though some of it has
had to be on city pavement. I
bought a good pair of walking
shoes, which makes it all the more
pleasant,
These days, when there is so
much talk of health plans, I am
astounded at the number of men
and women who have no health
plans of their own, Fresh air, good
food, plenty of exercise, and mod-
eration or absention In the matter
of smoking and liquor, are, in my
opinion, the basic requirements.
Governments cannot breathe for
you or guarantee your good health;
you can do a great deal on your
own to cut down the need for doe -
tors or for drugs,
Now don't get the idea that -I
am a faddist or believe one can
cure acute appendicitis by, , walk-
ing in the woods! What I do believe
is that we are acting irrationally
when we make such a fuss about
providing full medical care for
everyone, while doing so .little
about good health for ourselves,
And I thought I had better say my
say about it now, while I am on
this project; rather than wait until
