ATKET', Editor THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1951 More Frequent Visits, THE ROYAL TOUR of Canada has been a greet success from many standpoints, and tar. be it from us to maintain that it hasn't lived up to the expectations of a multitude of Can- adians, adians, including officials. and the Everywhere Princess Elizabeth Duke of Edinburgh have travelled throughout this country, they have been received with tremendous acclaim. But, although those who witnessed the spectacle, wherever it has oc- curred, undoubtedly have enjoyed it, what about the Royal couple themselves? Has not the schedule been a little overdone at times? The schedule was described in the House of Commons at Ottawa Tuesday by George Hees, member for Toronto Broadview, as "ex- haustive and inhuman". It appeared to him that the Royal tour programme had. been de- signed more to flatter the ego of Canadian officialdom than to show the Princess and her husband to the people of Canada. He stated that it was the people of Canada the Princess herself had said she wanted to meet before she came to this country. Mr. Hees declared that if Canadians ex- pected members of the Royal Family to want to come to Canada, then more thoughtfulness would have to be shown them than had been evidenced during the current tour. In the larger cities, a great deal of time had been devoted to civic luncheons, dinners and re- ceptions, when the couple had the opportunity • of meeting only a limited . number of people. Because of these functions, the drive which the Royal couple were able to make through cities and towns they visited had to be speeded up to such en extent that the people were able to catch only a brief glimpse of them as they went by. Public disappointment had been great indeed. Incidentally, The Princess and her husband received their first "vacation" since the tour commenced 17 days ago, when they were given the ,privilege of staying at Eagle's Crest, a swank resort on the Strait of Georgia, north of Nenaimo, Vancouver Island, part of Tues- day, yesterday and today. Tomorrow morning, they are off again to Vancouver, B.C., from where they commence. the final lap of their journey to Eastern Canada and home. The NEWS -RECORD is pleased to back up Gordon Graydon, Member for Peel, who de- clared in. the House of Commons Monday that air travel has reached the stage where more frequent and less formal visits from the Royal Family should be possible, and that the King should come to Canada to open Parliament on occasion. HANSARD, the official report of the House • of Commons Debates, reports Mr. Graydon on the subject as follows: "Having in mind that Canada has ex tended to the royal visitors within our gates Perhaps Less Formal the most genuine 'welcome of which Canad- ians are capable, I she'll notyield to the temptation of adding any inadequate words of mine to those which have been much better spoken across. Canada, "This is a new country, and a vigorous and virile people. If ell who met Their Royal Highnesses did not curtsy or bow in the approved court manner, our hearts were, nevertheless, in the welcome that we ac- corded, corded, and to us in Canada the form mat- • tered much less. "As a matter of fact I am of the opin- ion, Mr. Speaker, we could on future oc- casions of this kind, strip our welcome of much of the old rigid and frigid formalities even at the most formal functions and make our own welcome in our own 'Canadian way. This is Canada. We are Canadians, and proud of it. They are the Canadian royal family, and we are proud that they are. "I am not happy over the fact that members of our Canadian royal family make their visits to this country so in- frequently'. A visit in 1901, another in 1919, another in 1927, another by Their Majesties in 1939 end now Their Royal Highnesses in 1951, would seen to indicate that those re- sponsible both here and overseas have fail- ed to assess the true significance of com- monwealth evolution during the last three or four decades which has tended to stress the vital importance of the crown and the royal house to Canadians and the other self-governing units of the vast common- wealth. "Without desiring to add fresh burdens to an already busy household, I feel that those of the royal family who are able to travel should be in our midst more often. Air travel brings Buckingham Palace with- in a few hours of Parliament Hill, and ought to make it possible for informal visits from time to time, perhaps for the opening of our Canadian parliament by members of the royal family onsome special occas- ions. If there are constitutional difficulties in the way of that I suggest we have overcome some just as important constitu- tional difficulties as may 'be there involv- ed, and there should be no difficulty on that scare. "The current experiences drawn from the royal tour now in progress, with all its heavy demands upon our beloved visitors, point up the need for the decentralization of the royal duties and the more frequent appearances of members of the family in this important section of their realm. They will always receive a royal welcome among Canadians in the most informal and affec- tionate ffecttionate sense of the term." • Women Could 'THE NATIONAL COUNCIL of Women discussed the problem of the high cost of living in very sensible terms recently. They agreed that price control without wage control would not keep prices from rising, and they showed sound economic judgement, in decid- ing that increased production was the only cure for inflation. Now, the women of Canada could do some- thing more. They could take the lead in urg- . ing the Government of the nation to reduce existing expenditure wherever possible, and certainly, with the need of re -armament press- ing on us,' not to engage in new expeditures which are not definitely proved to be necessary. As long as the Government of Canada puts into circulation more and more money each year, for non-productive purposes, and as long as this increase in Government spend- ing outruns the increase in the production or goods, the public will be taxed twice to meet the situation. They will be taxed also in the increased cost of living resulting from infla- tion, and no one can exempt anyone from this tax. As a matter of fact, this tax bears more harshly on the poor than on the rich, Women, showing the commonsense exhibit- ed at the recent meeting of the National Coun- From',Our Early Files 25 YEARS AGO , • The Clinton News -Record October 28, 1936 John Gib!bings, who sustained severe injuries from a fall from a apple tree early this auturnn has so far recovered that he is able to walk out a little.

STORE ENTERED GODERICH — About 4.30 a.m. October 14, a plate glass window in front of the Zinn Electrical Shop was broken -in, and some articles taken. The glass was e half en inch thick, but people in the apartments above told police they heard nothing. Police are investigating. Do Something cif for Women, might now make their voices heard, to demand a more rigid. control of Gov- ernment expenditures. Politiciansein office will assert that there is no way of cutting Government expenditures, but that simply is not true. If the new house of the Prime Minister had cost $50,000, which would provide a nice house, in place of over half a million, the people of Canada would have saved $450,000. If the Government would merely clear out the excess staff in many De- partments, millions would be saved each year. .1f the Government did not undertake to pay old age pensions to all quite regardless of their need, another enormous saving would be made, and so on. It is very difficult for the ordinary man or woman to show exactly what Government expenditures could be cut down, but it is doubtful if there is a single man or woman who believes for a moment that the Govern- ment of this country could not reduce its ex- penditures, by many millions of dollars a year, without in any way damaging the necessary public services of the country. Here is something which the women could do, which apparently the men are afraid to do, They can talk plainly about the Govern- ment wasting money. 40 YEARS AGO The Clinton New 'Era Thursday, October 26, 1911 Mr. Steep, who occupies what is known as the old Hillier farm in Goderich Township, on the Huron Road, can boast of grow- ing potatoes which cannot easily be beaten—three,. of them weigh- ed 41/4 lbs., the largest of the three marking 2 lbs„ and all as. clean and solid as a good apple.
