Education
Department Delays Tax Rate
In about six weeks' time the first
instalment of Seaforth taxes is due.
But despite an early start on the part
of council to work out a budget, at
the moment no estimates have been
adopted; no tax rate has been struck.
The reason is that Council, who
acts as a collection agency for local .-
school boards, has not been advise
the requirements of the boards,
Rut 'the, fault is not that of the
school boards.. The extent to which
they must seek funds through local
tak revenue depends on the grants
they receive from the Department of
Education. However, as happens ev-
ery year, the department fails to ad-
vise until late in the year the amount
each board may expect to receive.
The problem is reviewed in a
recent issue of the Toronto -Star : `"
"With school trustee protests coming
in from all sides, Queen's Park is try-
ing to ease itself out of the predica
ment resulting from its 1960 scale of ,
educational grants.
"Education Minister Robarts de-
nied a Week ago that grants to muni-
•cipal boards of. education would be
less than in 1959. , But this week he
had his doubts, for he said that if any
school board fails to receive grants
equal to last year, under the new
rates, the difference will be made up.
"Premier Frost shuffled similarly.
He implied in the legislature 'this
week that grants based on a new sys-
tem of equalized assessment would
provide a fair and handsome yield
for everybody. But the grants have
been based on equalized assessment
since 1958, according to Provincial
Treasurer James N. Allah in his bud-
get speech a year ago. He ought to
know:- And the yield this year has
not made local boards happy. Hence,
Metro school board is formally pro-
testing a drop of more than $2 mil-
lion in its anticipated grants.
"The protests are based on two fac-
tors. The first is that the grants •will
not keep pace with rising costs. For
instance, Metro may receive, as Mr.
Robarts said, about $1.3 million more
than in 1959, but its costs are up
-more than $5 million. The grants will
be about $8 less per pupil,
"The second factor is that the
grants schedule is disclosed too late.
No' }?oard knows where it is at in
drawing up its yearly budget. Hamil-
ton, for instance, had set its educa-
tional tax before it heard that its rate
of grants would be slashed.
"How can schoolboards budget
properly at the first of the year, and -
city councils know how much to tax
for their schools,' if the department
of education doesn't get around to
stating what its grants will be 'until
mid-March, or even later? Mr. Rob-.
arts admitted on March 17 that ex--,
act grants will not be known until
mid -summer."
There will be general agreement
with the Star when it,declares: "This
is an addled state of affairs and
should be corrected."
Sanitation
There's too much sanitation. What
could be more appalling to _ a real
cheese lover than the cellophane -
wrapped pasty atrocities now on the-
, shelves of our grocery shops. To de-
serve the name, cheese in fact must
be hewn off the block, rich, solid, tan-
gy and aromatic.—Hartland (N.B.)

CALF -PAST TEIE$
SUGAR AND 'SPICE
By W. (Bill) B. T. SMILEY
Some people think we Canadians
are lacking in tradition. They are
quite wrong. We have traditions
We haven't even told anyone. This
legend, reprinted by request,tells
of the origin of one of them,
* * *
• Once 'upon a time, two or three
million years ago, a Canadian cou-
'ple lived in a cave with their three
small.- children. When the winter
had begun, they'd had eight small
children, but they'd had to keep
the wolf away from the door some-
how, and the wolf was very par-
tial to small 'children. '
* *
Now, it was spring and things
were tough. The mammoth they'd
put in the deep freeze at the back
of the cave was gnawed to tusks
and tail.' The Mother had begun
to eye the three. small children,
gaunt as. they were, in a rather
chilling manner. And every time
the Father looked at the Mother,
saliva leaked out the corners of his
mouth. She had a little more meat
on her than the three small chil-
dren.
* •* *
As for the three small children,
they took a snap at the calves of
their parents every time they
crawled past them. And the wolf
had long since forsaken the front
door. He knew well that if he
whined once, he'd be hauled in.
clubbed and end up as guest of
honor at a wolf dinner.
• *
It was a tense situation, and just
to make it unbearable, the Mother
started agitating about the condi-
tion of the cave. She wanted all
the bones picked up and dumped
outside, the skins on the floor shak-
en out, and the mammoth's skele-
ton dragged outside,•so she could
get into the corners and clean
them.
But he knew her of old. Just as
she swung, he leaped like a deer
and she missed. Grinning'hugely,
he Whipped from behind11 back
a knotted piece of hide, on which
were strung the three biggest rain -4
bow trout you ever saw.
* * *
After the tears of remorse, and
her assurance that it was just her
nerves, he gave her a ,12 -pound
trout. She was well into it before
she • remembered, with shame, and
said: "Go and find the three small
children and 'give them a fish"
She could have saved her breath,
as the three small children were
already crawling out from behind
three small rocks, their three small
noses quivering, and . their three
small teeth glittering. Soon their
three small bellies were dragging
on the ground.
* * *,_.
And so they all lived happily
ever after. Until next winter. And
that's the story of Opening Day
of the trout season, and how it ac-
quired its significance in our Can-
adian. way of life, even though it
interferes with the housecleaning
* .*. *
Maintaining an iron self-control,
the Father went to work. He knew
that if he hit her, as she should,
and she went down, he'd,. pounce
on her and gobble her up. He
didn't want to do that, as she was
a good:woman. She always chew-
ed the tougher pieces of meat be-
fore handing them to him. And she
made the best sabre -tooth tiger
soup m the neighborhood
* * *
But 'she made a mistake when
she told him to go out and get
some clean sand for the floor. He
rolled back the stone at the mouth
of the cave.' It was a golden morn-
ing, bluesky, world turning green.
He took a deep breath, a quick
look over his shoulder, and off, in
that order, and didn't stop until
he had reached The Place Where
the Big Ones Are.
* * *
When her 'mate failed to return,
the Mother snarled: "Trhat ousy
bum, He never has time to do any-
thing around the house, but he al-
ways has time to go to The Place
Where the Big Ones Are." The
three small children, knowing they
were living on borrowed time any-
way, nodded their three small
heads agreeably; trough they
didn't have a clue about what
was bothering her, as she stormed
around,• cleaning up.
* * *
By noon the cave was tidy and
the Mother was fit to be tied. She
sat in the cave entrance, chewing
her nails in a combination of rage
and ravenousness. The three small
children sat in the sun on their
three small bottoms, looking wor-•
ried.
* * *
Suddenly the Mother realized she
had chewed three of her fingers.
right down to the second joint,
This would never do. Sadly but re-
morselessly, she fastened her gaze
on the three small children. When
they saw their Mother pick up a
club and advance on them, the
three srnalI children uttered three
small squeaks of despair, and for-
getting that they hadn't learned to
walk, got up and began to run Iike
hell.

Port Dover, Ont., on the shore of
Lace Erie, is reputed to have the
largest freshwater fishing fleet in

miles southwest. of 'Hamilton and
just nine miles southeast of Simcoe,
Ont. It was once known as Dover
Mills and it takes its name from
the English port. One of the prin-
cipal commercial fishing centres
en Lake Erie, the town is also a

Who Was the First Acadian
• Senator?
Pascal Pqirier, a lawyer ..and,.
writer who was born at Shediac,
New Brunswick, in 1852_ -.He prac-
tised law in Shediac and served as
postmaster of the Canadian House
of 'Commons from 1872 to 1885.
When he was appointed to the Sen-
ate in 1885, he was the first Aca-
dian to be son honored. Poirier
was a man of broad views who
worked unceasingly for the better-
ment of his fellow Acadians, and
in 1902 he .was created Chevalier
de la Legion d'Honneur for his con-
tribution to the survival of the
French language in Acadia, A Fel-

Are Pronghorn Antelopes Found in
Canada?'
Yes, but only in the sagebrush
country of extreme southern Al-
berta and Saskatchewan. Sage-
brush is their main food, although
in summer they eat grass. The
panghorn antelope occurs only in
North America and has no close
relatives. It differs from other
hoofed. animals in many respects.
It 'is smaller than any of our deer,
-varying in weight from 100 to 125
pounds and standing only three
feet, or : a little more, at the shoul-
der. The horns are simple, with
but a single tine or point. Each
year the.. sheath covering the horn
is shed by both bucks and does—
a characteristic found in no other
animal. Before the white man set-
tled on the prairies, the pronghorn
was very abundant, possibly more
than the buffalo.

A • McDUFF WAWA REPORT
TWO FOR ONE
OTTAWA—Canada has signed a
new trade treaty with Russia
which on paper looks attractive but
actually will not be as .good from
the Canadian point of view as the
last trade pact with the U.S.StR.
The Russians realized soon after
they had signed the last treaty
that they had got the short end of
the stick. They were buying mil-
lions of, dollars worth of goods
from Canada, but in turn Canada
was not buying much from Russia.
HoweVer, the Soviet was anxious
to sign the last treaty. This time
things were different as it was
Canada that was anxious to have
a trade pact. The Canadians have
been pressing the Russians to re-
new the old treaty which expired
in February, 1959. But the Rus-
sians were firm in saying "no".
They wanted' no deal like the last
one.
This time they held out for bet-
ter' terms. They wanted from Can-
ada, and got, a provision that for
every dollar's worth of goods Can-
ada purchased from Russia the
Soviet would in turn buy two dol-
lar's worth of goods from Canada.
The last deal worked out at al-
most five to one in Canada's fav-
our.
What assurance has Canada got
that the Russians will live up to
the provisions of the new agree-
ment? They defaulted on the last
deal. Under the terms of the last
agreement the U.S.S.R. got Most -
Favoured -Nation tariff treatment
from Canada° and in return the
Russians undertook to purchase
about $50,000,000 worth of Cana-
dian wheat over the three years
of the agreement. But, when the
deal had terminated last year the
Russians fell behind in their wheat
purchases and were short by over
8,000,000 bushels when it expired.
That amounted to nearly $10,000,-
000 worth of wheat the Russians
had agreed to buy and did not
Since the last treaty expired the
Canadians have been pressing the
Russians to live up to the terms
of the d'greement and purchase the
additional amount of wheat. These
negotiations have met with no suc-'
cess. The. Canadians have not
pressed too hard for fear that they
would antagonize the Russians and
ruin the chances of negotiating the
second deal — Signed in Moscow
April 18. Moreover, the Canadian
government authorities reluctapt-
ly concede that there is nothing to
ensure that the Soviet will not de-
fault on the new agreement. How-
ever, with the two-for-one provi-
sion in the pact the Russians have
,a better deal and are more likely
to live up .,to its provisions.
"Purpose of this agreement is
to expand and diversify trade be-
tween the two countries," the
Trade and Commerce Department

tawa simultaneously with the sign.
ing of the past in Moscow by Hon.
Gordon Churchill, Minister of Trade
and Commerce. Coupled with the
announcement was the appoint-
ment of William Van Vliet, 42, as
Canada's first trade commissioner
in Russia.
Mr. Van Vliet has a tough job.
The Russian and Canadian resourc-
es are similar so that it is diffi-
cult;for the two countries to trade
with 'one another. Canada's pur-
chases from Russia last year
amounted to only $2,250,000. These
purchases consisted mainly of furs,
pig iron, chrome bre and • a few
manufactured goods. Those pur-
chases will have to be more than.

exports were wheat, barley, steel,

This is the name sometimes giv-
en to an Indian uprising that was
organized at the end of the Seven
Years' War in 1763 by the Indian
Chief Pontiac in an attempt'to
wrest control of the lands beyond
the Appalachians from the new
British rulers. As no help was
forthcoming from France, the up-
rising collapsed and Pontiac made
Peace with the•British in 1766. This
influential war chief of the Ot-
tawas was probably born near De'
troit about 1720. He consistently
supported the French throughout
the Seven Years' War. When his
uprising collapsed, he lost his posi-
tion of authority among the tribes.
Three years later, in 1769, he was
murdered by a Peoria Indian near
the present site of St. Louis, Mis-
souri. Sir Gilbert Parker told the
story of Pontiac in his novel,
"When Valmond Came To Pon-
tiac," which was published in 1895.

Canada is to continue to sell about
$10,000,000 or $12,000,0.00 worth of
wheat to Russia, then Canada will
have to purchase from Russia" be-
tween $5,000,000 and $6,000,0001
worth of goods, that is three times
the amount of purchases this coun-
try has made from the U.S.S.R. in
the past.
Under the new pact, during the
three years of its life, the Russians
are prepared to purchase up to
$30,000,000 worth of Canadian
wheat, providing the Canadians
buy $18,000,000 worth of goods
from the U.S.S.R. .
There is a maximum target set
in the agi°eement pf purchase by,
Canada of $12,500,000 from Russia
each year' for the three years. In
return Russia would buy from
Canada $25,000,000 worth of goods
annually up to a total of $75,000,-
000 for the three years. However,
there is little chance that 'Canada
will step up its purchases from
Russia by the extent required to
reach the maximum goals' in the
agreement. The difficulty is that,
while Russia is a state trading na.
tion and can order its state trad-
ing agencies to boy certain
amounts from 'Canada, this coun-
try cannotorder private business
men to make their purchases from
Russia.
Before he left for Moscow for
the signing ceremony the Minister
of Trade and Commerce was not
clear on how the new pact would
work. For example, it was not
clear how Russia would determine
its purchases under the "two-for-
one" provision. Will Russia wait
until the end of the first year, de-
termine the amount of Canada's
purchases and then purchase twice
that amount; or, will there be a
cut-off date midway through the
year? When he. reached Moscow,
Mr. Churchill got into trouble. He
told reporters that Canada would
sell uranium to the Russians it
they want it. Immediately there
were astonished reactions in Wash-
ington and Ottawa. Uranium is on
the list of strategic commodities.
that Canada, in concert with the
United States, has undertaken not
to sell to Communist nations. Mr,
Churchill later explained thathis
statement was made only ."in a
joking way". Opposition party
spokesmen said it was a poor joke
at this time when Canada's uran-
ium industry is suffering a depres-
sion due to the falling off of orders
from the United States. They will
demand a full explanation when
parliament resumes its sittings.
