Easter holidays begin 20 days later this year than •was the case. last year. While the holiday weekend in 1964 was cold, even fol''.. March, there is hope this years that there ww-iII be some of that warm spring weather traditional- ly associated with Easter. Of coarse there is.. no assurance of this, even though the weekend occurs in the lat- ter part of April. After' all, we. n'iust remember new snow was falling - as late as Tuesday of this -week. As. far as the problem ,of varying Lengths of school terms and .Easter is. concerned, the Stratford Beacon -Her- ald thinks there, is a ready solution. Why do the school terms' have to be related to Easter, it asks, and goes on in these words: "Good Friday and Easter Sunday have deep religious mearnin.g, strength- ened by the continuing traditions 'of i nearly 20 centuries. One would lightly suggest that method' for die--.: termining the date of the Christian Easter sh*nld be changedmerely for the convenience Of .holidayers, or for" • the better display of new Easter cloth- ing, "The Fester holidays have another meaning, apart from their' religious signi.fcance and their place in the cal- endar of church . observances. Easter holidays are for school children. We do : not see why the custom taking a break between school teras should nec- essarily beconnected with the date of A MacdUf Ottawa' Report Are Liberals Turning Left? Good Friday. It may, be desirable that children should have a week off be- tween the winter term and the spring term. It mai- be desirable to eontintie with the Ontario custom of filling Eas- ter Week with conventions of school teachers, who have .that week free from • classes. We do not see that the normal school break between winter term and spring term necessarily. has fp be a. 10 -day period beginning on Good Fri- day. `Last year, as it happened, the dates for Easter provided a • reasonable divi- sion of the school year into terms. Af- ter Christmas school holidays, the win- ter term ran for 12 weeks, until the 1.0 -day, Easter break began ••on Good Friday', March 27. .After the Easter • break of 1964, the spring term ran for 12 weeks to the end of June. . "This year i. .vorks out quite differ- entiy. and not' nearly -as well for school purposes. By the time 'the schools of Ontario close for the Easter holidays this year the winter term will have run for la weeks; when school starts again after the Easter holidays, the _965 spring term will be e. short. and crowded nine weeks, which will have to include final review and examina- tions. "We e do not see why the school, sys- tete has to tie its spring holidays to the date of Easter. One day, Gocfd Fri- day itself, should be a School holiday in this province, whatever the date. it a break of a week is needed between winter and spring term, as it probably is, Why could it not be the week be- ginning the first Monday in April, re- gardless of Easter " • OTTA The throne speech read at the opening of the . third session of the 26th Parliament set hut a sweeping social welfare program that might become an election, mani- festo, The .document clearly bark- ed out the orders: "Left turn Liberals". Members of the 'CCF party were ante described by former Prime Minister- St. Laurent as "Liberals in a. hurry" After examining the welfare program many MP's concluded that the Liberal Party under the leadership of Rt. Hon. L. B. Pearson had riot only caught up to the CCF'ers—now known as the. New Democratic Party— but had passed them by. . However, the national leader of the NDP party, T. C. Doug- las, remains to he convinced. After listening to Prime Min- ister Pearson .outline many of the progressive measures pro- posed in the throne speech, he -cynically observed that for 33 •years out of the past 45. Can- ada has been under Liberal' administrations. Now after that long. period of Liberal govern- ments, Mr. Pearson was sound- ing •••a declaration of war on poverty. Obviously somewhat indig- nant that the Liberals had pull- ed a program out from under his party. Mr. Douglas express- ed serious doubts that the am- bitious measures set out by the Liberals would ever be imple- mented by the present admini- stration..

It ' outlined a flve•pronged attack on poi erty. the strengthening and' expan- - sion of welfare services for t assistance recipients. Mr. Pearson. has told the 1 House of his Government's plans for eliminating poverty - .,and fully utilizing human re- sources. First. there is the area development program. It will' be extended to other areas which , although not having heavy unemployment as defin-' ed for the existing designated areas, do have low levels of income. There will be new methods of assisting industrial development On those areas . Second, the Government will be developing a series of mea -e' sures to help persons to qualify. for and secure new jobs, to move when they need to and to get the training they require. Third, because mech. of Can- ada's worst poverty and waste of human resources is rural, the Government proposes to ex- tend the work of ARDA (Agri- cultural Rehabilitation and De- velopment Act) by creating a, special fund to be available for development projects. The fourth point in the five -prong- ed plan was the proposal to organize Young Canadians in the CYC which the Prime Mini- , ster said he expected would be nicknamed the "Eager Beav- ers". And the fifth -point is the Canada Assistance Plan. The surprising '3,000 word document .lett many observers breathless, Once again the Fed- eral Government will be mov- ing into provincial jurisdic- tions:' This will mean more federal -provincial conferences and considerable negotiating behind the -scenes. The 'throne speech was near- ly double the length of the speech that that 'saw the opening of the second session in 1964. That session lasted 249 sitting days —longest in history, A heavy job' that will con- front this session is the decen- nial revision of the Bank .t.et. It was supposed ' to take place a last year' and had to be posh poned until 'the Royal Com- b mission on Banking made its report. • d The thione speech also pro- posed new . policies to increase , the incomes of fanners and s fishermen. For the farmers, there .will be special assistance, for family farms, establishment of the Canadian Dairy Commis- t sion, new national policies on m major farm products. and im- ti proved movement and market- ing arrangements ,for ,feed ti grains. d An expansion Of the national fisheries development , progr#m t would be designed to raise in.

They are: the Old Age Assistance Act of 1951; the' Blind. Persons Act of 1951; the Disabled Persons Act of 1954; and the Unemploy- ment Assistance Act of 195f1: The Prime Minister said that If provinces accept the New Canada Assistance Plan, then' there will be no longer an in- come limitation on the assist- ance available to people how covered by old• age assistance.

At the same time, it is not quite true ,that I have painted a house. Let me explain. One summer. in' a period of. acute mental depression, I spent my entire. vacation trying to paint the trim on the ancient, sagging heap of first and second mort- gages we'd just bought. It was during the first nau- seating bloom of the do-it-your- self sickness. The whole coun- try was full of sweating, curs- ing, frustrated men struggling ' to assemble everything from golf carts to 50 -foot yachts from their "handy home kits:' I was hooked, too. I decided to paint .the house myself. Achieve personal satisfaction; bask in my- wife's praise; save all that money. There didn't seem to be much to it. "A few gallons of paint and you won't .know the old The house trim was a`fout 60 feet off the ground. I climbed up to have a took at the old paint. Hall an hour later,. my wife came out to call the kids and found me there, clinging with bah arms and both legs to the top of the ladder, white as chalk, moaning piteously, She had to call the fire department to get me down. 1 lowered my sights and de- cided that, for that year, it would be enough ' to paint the window frames on the ground floor. ' First, I had to scrape, where it was blistered and cracked and peeled. Did you every try to scrape flint? In hell? It was the hottest summer in 30 years. I'd serape for hall an . Iwur, clear a patch four inches by four, then climb down, dripping and go in and fetch a cold beer. As I emerged, instantaneously, three or four neighbors would emerge from hiding behind their hedges and join me, tongue's hanging out. •'To cut A long story short, I got two and a half windows done that year. It cost me about $200 for dried -out brushes, spilled paint, ruined .clothing, and all that beer. The next summer, I sensibly hired a couple of painters. They 'did a hang•up. job and didn't even charge extra for all that paint they spurt on .the brick- work, the window -panes,• the lawn, the vines, and the chil- dren. ' But the whole business gave me a lasting interest in house - painting,, and I formed a few maxims I'm happy to pass along to the novice. • First of . all,' you must have. the proper equipment for house - painting: Two basic items are a house and some paint.
