Hume, in Ottawa Citizen) In its final, pre-election session, the 22nd Parliament approved a heavy legislative and government policy program with outstanding emphasis on the welfare and liv- ing standards of Canadian citizens as a whole. Each and every one of Canada's 16,400,000 citizens will be benefit- ted one way or another, directly or indirectly, immediately or in the future, by what Parliament accomplished in its three-month session, January 8 - April 12. Indeed, the total number bene- fitting actually will be higher than Canada's population figure, since Canadians in different regions of the nation and in different seg- ments of the economy will benefit in double, triple or quadruple de- gree: The session proved, once again, to be an eye-opener as to the ex- tent to which Parliament's work touches and stimulates the daily lives and incomes of all Canadian citizens. The government's pr o g r a m s were readily approved with a sur- prising lack of political controversy which normally might have been expected on the eve of the June 10 federal election. Opposition Groups The Conservative official op- position and the C.C.F. and Social Credit splinter groups adopted, generally speaking, a "Me Too" attitude. Any criticism they offer- ed was that the government's poli- cies "did not go far enough." While critical of $5,330,000,000 gov- ernment spending, opposition groups vied with each other in urging more than $128,000,000 of tax cuts a year, more than $133,- 000,000 a year of increased social security benefits, an even more costly national hospital insurance scheme than the 50-50 federal share of $200,000,000 a year, and even greater -aid to the provinces and municipalities. • The budget paid $207,000,000 off the national debt and planned for a surplus of $152,000,000 for the current fiscal 'year. The government replied that its varied program embracedall it could safely do in the light of "creeping inflation" conditions and the continued heavy burden of na- tional defence of around $1,700,000,- 000 annually. Here are ,some figures on the numbers ansections of the Cana- dian people to benefit from Par- liament's work this session and some of the benefit and 'cost fig- ures involved therein: Social Security 1—Increased social security ben- efits of $133,000,000 a year to 4,- 696,000 Canadians under Finance Minister Walter Harris' third budget: A. Universal Old Age Pensions to 815,000 pensioners 70 years of age and over, $40 to $46 per month, $60,000,000 a year. B. Family Allowances to 1,800,- 000 families and 3.500,000 childen, $1 monthly increase for children under six and in the 10-12 age group. $42,000.000 a year, C. Old Age Assistance Act cov- ering 95,000 Canadians in the 65-70 age groups, 9.000 blind persons, and 35,000 disabled persons, in- creases totalling $6.000.000 a year. D. Increases up, to 20 per cent for 188.000 disabled war veterans and dependents thereof and to 54,- 000 recipients under the War Vet- ?rans Allowances Act. $25,000,000 a year. Budget Tax Cut 2—Budget tax cut in different fields up to $128.000,000 a year: A. A flat $100 annual allowable deduction from taxable income to cover medical expenses, charit- able donations, labor union dues, and professional members dues, will be of some benefit to 70 per cent of Canada's 3,545,000 income tax payers. while 150,000 Cana- dians in the lower income groups IN ONTARIO wise folk get most fuii� ICitourAvailie Bin, ONTARIO TRAVEL. 735 Parllar orrt Bldge.

B, New provision whereby any of Canada's 364,000 Self-employed persons may deduct from tastable income payments, up. to $2,500 a year, toward registered , retire- ment savings . plans. Such•. Cana- dians are new placed on equal footing, income taxwise, with Can, adians presently covered by regis- tered employer-employee retire- ment pension schemes. Ultimatelya federal revenues may be cut as much as $40,000,000 annually if there is widespread use of this op- tion. C. All Canadian housewives will benefit to some extent in reduc- ing their living costs through 'cuts of $24,000,000 a year in 'sales taxes on foods such as tea, coffee, cocoa, pickles, catsup, sauces, salad oils, prepared desserts, etc., and $21,000,- 000 a year cuts in excise taxes on such items as soft drinks, candy;., chocolate bars, chewing gum, motorcycles, pens, etc. Aid To Provinces ,J --Additional aid to the prov- inces, easing the tax burden on. their respective residents: A. A 20 per cent increased share of "the tax pie" for the provinces as to income, corporation and suc- cession duty taxes over the, ensu-' ing five-year term, totalling $680,- 000,000 a year, including equaliza- tion payments for the less well-off provinces- 'B.Increased aid toward the Trans -Canada Highway, to cost an additional $20,000,000 a year for a limited period, in a determined ef- fort to close the 'gaps" in the more costly construction sections. thereof. Additional Grants 4—Canadian universities, addi- tional aid, involving important substitute aid to the provincial governments: A. Operational expenditures grants, doubled, to $16,000,000 a year whereunder university teach- ing staffs already are being given merited salary increases. B. Canada (Arts) Council to sup- ervise the expenditure of $50,000,- 000 over the next ten years to aid universities with their building construction and equipment expan- sion programs. Without the above aid, universi ties would have been compelled to increase their students' fees. Canada Arts Council 5—Canada (Arts) Council given a $50,000,000 endownment fund, to provide about $2,000,000 annually for - national development of the arts, letters and sciences, includ- ing, amongst other things, univers- ity scholarships, bursaries, fellow- ships, etc., for worthy students. 6—Later expenditure approval of about $200000,000 annually as the federal 50-50 cost share with the provinces of a national hospital insurance scheme covering hospi- tal ward care and diagnostic ser- vices, open to all provinces for their respective populations. 7—Additional aid for Canadian municipalities: A. Amendments to the Municipal Grants Act whereunder, _ hence- forth, the government will pay 100 per cent grants in lieu of regular municipal taxes, estimated to cost $20,000,000 a year, compared with about $8,000,000 in recent years. (Ottawa's grant will be about $3,- 500,000 annually in future continu- ing to rise of course as more gov- ernment buildings are put up here). B. Municipal councils and school boards will get some sales tax relief on the purchase of certain road building, fire -fighting and school equipment. Aid To Farmers 8—Continued and additional aid for about 225,000 wheat and grain farmers in the three Prairie pro- vinces: A. Extension of the Canadian Wheat Board Act for another five years. B. Benefits to farmers increas- ed under the Prairie Farm Assist- ance Act which operates in periods of crop failures. C, Continuance of the Tempor- ary Wheat Reserves Act, passed last year, whereunder the govern- ment will pay about $33,000,000 again this year to farmers on farm -stored grain above the aver- age crop carry-over of- 189,000.000 bushels. D. Increased aid for farmers un- der the, Interim Financing Act when they have to borrow from the banks. Additional farm Assistance 9—Farmers In other sections of Canada also were aided by differ- ent government policies this ses- sion: A. Many thousands of farmers in Central Canada, the Maritimes and British Columbia were given increased subventions on freight charges for the shipment of feed grain from the Prairie provinces for the feeding in the specified areas bf livestock, poultry, etc., costing the treasury about $22,- 000,000 a year. B. About 300,000 dairy farmers in Ontario, Quebec and British Col- umbia were provided, for the first time, with a support, price of 17 cents per hunldredweight on skint milk delivered to condenser plants. This will give milk producers a• more profitable alternative ou=tlet in relation to the sale of whole milk, milk for cheese factories, cream for creameries for butter, and for condenser .plans. As well, Cheese factories may have a ,by- product sale for skim n)41k.. C.

For Fishermen 10—Aid for 50.000 fishermen on the Atlantic and Pacific, Coasts and the Great Lakes. A. Fishermen brought under the provisions of the' Unemployment Insurance Act. B. Additional aid for fishermen by way of facilities for securing equipment improvement loans, in- surance on vessels and equipment, and co-operative measures, on an international level with United States, Japan, etc., for the conser- vation of fish resources on both coasts and in the Great Lakes. '11 -Special aid for the four Mari- time provinces, hailed as the great- est package deal for that region since Confederation: A: 'An immediate increase of $2.000,000 annually in federal sub- ventions under the Maritime Freight Rates Act to offset some- what freight rate increases grant- ed by the Board of Transport Com- missioners for Canada in recent years. This will be of benefit to all Maritimeproducers and manu- facturers in shipping their goods to Central and Western Canada. B. Government to carry out an inquiry into the transportation problems of the Maritime prov- inces as to necessary further aid. C. Government to provide up to $200,000,000 over the next ten years constructing and operating thermal power plants, particularly in. New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and in providing interconnection lines for the existing electrical systems in those provinces. .Maritime coal will be used by these new thermal units to the greatest possible ex- tent, thereby benefitting that hard pressed industry. These projects will be self-liquidating on a 30 or 40 -year basis. -The provinces or their designated agencies may lat- er acquire the facilities to be pro- vided on payment of their amortiz- ed cost. D. Government has named a Royal Commission under Chief Jus- tice J. B. McNair, former New Brunswick premier, to examine the operations of the terms of union whereby Newfoundland became Canada's tenth province on April 1, 1949, and recommend that fur- ther federal aid may be consider- ed proper for that island province. Other Points 12—British Columbia has been offered federal aid up to about '$300,000,000 if a public authority in that province undertakes the development of hydro electric power on the Columbia river. Such projects also will be self- liquidating and B.C. may acquire the 'facilities provided on payment of their amortized cost. 13—On housing. the government has arranged with the chartered banks to make available a mini- mum of $150,000,000 for loans under the National Housing Act, as part of a construction program of at least 100.000 housing units this year.

Let's call these families Tom, pick and Harry. Tom lived in the north and was busy growing his crops and had plenty to eat. Dick lived in the middle, so never hada really ,good crop season, but never had areal- ly bad winter, so had a fairly hard time thee, year round. Harry was having winter in the south= and 'was busy making clothing for the year. He was living ..on what he. had produced the year before and was hoping it would last until the next crop year. Finally the three got together and decided that none were having a really good living. Tom and har- ry had a good living for opposite halves of the year, and bad the other half due to storage prob- lems. Dick, in the middle, never had it very good or very bad, but still not satisfactory. They decided that Dick should give up farming,. and when Tom had summer, Dick would transport' fed to Harry; on the return journey he took cloth- ing from Harry to Tom. All pro- duce was divided equally among the three. ' This arrangement worked very well until Dick decided to, keepout a little extra when taking food to Harry, thereby inducing Harry to provide more clothing as payment. On the return jpurney Dick kept out extra clothing for his family, thereby inducing Tom to supply more food for his share of cloth- ing. Soon Tom and Harry were having a hard time, while . Dick, the trader, became wealthy. There seems to be general agree- ment that this trader is still op- erating. -Now Tom is the farmer, while Harry is the factory worker, and Dick is the most of businesses in between. ' How can we control this situa- activities as well in various as- pects. 14—Substantial progress is being made on the Trans -Canada natural gas pipe line from Alberta east to Winnipeg and Kapuskasing this year and on to Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal by the end of 1958. The Trans -Canada Pipe Lines Ltd. repaid its $50,000,000 loan from the government, together with $880,000, five -per cent interest thereon, well before the due date of April 1 last. This project, when completed, will provide competitive natural gas for fuel and light purposes for domestic and industrial use in Sas- katchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Montreal, with subsequent great industrial expansion through "wet" gas by-products in Alberta and natural gas all along the eastward route. 15—Good progress is being made also on construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway, to be formally opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth in 1959. The Ontario government will have completed its facilities for 1,110,000 horse- power of electricity from the St. Lawrence, probably by 1958. ion? `,Sihnitly by getting iiitO this- business and controlling the haandr- ling of our products The answer is iUtich closerthan' most ;of 04 'realize It is as 4ilose.as your local Co-op.

Thieves -Net $200 in Goods Police are . investigating. a . break- in and theft which occurred at the Fred Hudie saw mill last Thugs- day morning. The break-in must have been madebefore or during the snowfall which laid two inches on the ground before morning. No tracks were visible. Two employees of the mill discovered the entry when they arrived for •work?, and noted the loss of a jockey grinder (used for sharpening circular saws), wrenches, a level, brace and bits and other tools. Total value has been estimated at $200. The thieves broke the lock into a storeroom where cement, etc., was stored, but took nothing. The stolen articles were in another section of the building.

"You have -to give the other driver a break, even if he's wrong sometimes. You can't bull your way through traffic all the time- or you're bound to get into trouble. If he cuts you off short or does something dirty to you, just forget about it If you try to. get even with him, watch out." Len speaks from experience. As one of the senior drivers of Guenther :Tuckey Transports Ltd., he's logged a lot of miles in his 22 years of driving. Last year; for example, he drove 72,000 miles for the company: (The average truck driver covers 30,0p0 to 40000.) He has over 240,000 on the tractor he's driving. Leo was one of the 15 Guenther Tuckey drivers who re- ceived a saftey award Saturday night. In all his :22 years of driv- ing, he's never been charged over an accident--Elceter Times -Advo- cate. Large Barn Destroyed One of Goderich Township's larg- est and possibly the oldest .barn, was levelled by fire Wednesday afternoon at the farm of Ray Wise, R.R. 3, Clinton. The T-shaped structure consisted of a main barn; 100x72 feet; the other section, 46x66 feet, and a sheep sited, about 70x30 feet, also was de- stroyed. The barn was built 78 years ago by the grandfather of Charles E. Wise, Clinton, whose son now operates the farm. Tak- ing advantage of the first real seeding weather, Mr. Wise and his neighbors were some distance away from the buildings. Howev- er, they were able to get most of the cattle from the barn.
