Homeâ€"Ownership! f The magic word that meant seâ€" curity and a roof over the head for couples in all income bracâ€" kets in the Borough of York, is fast becoming an impossibility for families in the lower income brackets. The examination is being conâ€" ducted by Principal Camphbell, asâ€" sisted by Miss Lee of the Public School. Homes that used to cost $20,000 in Metro Toronto now cost $25,000. If you are earning less than $8,000 a year, home ownershin is almost out of your reach. Ninetyâ€"eight Weston scholars are writing for the entrance this week. Summer finds friends and forâ€" mer classmates in such a variety of occupations and activities that I, who knew the majority of them only in classâ€"rooms, begin to see them in a somewhat difâ€" ferent light. i For some this is their first exâ€" perience in the working world, and it leaves them facing the prospect of returning to school with less distaste than they had thought possible. After all, why rush? But graduates have in all likeâ€" lihood had summer jobs before. I find them in downtown Wesâ€" ton. & Everybody is rushing to the aid of the ‘beer‘ hall.

A Tale of Three Ministers Mr. Drury, a month or two ago, appeared on the Douglas Fisher show, a Sunday evening Channel Nine television series deâ€" voted to interviewing members of Parliament. Another guest that night happended to be Heward Grafftey, a nobody Quebec meimâ€" ber who sits in the opposition and has no other title after his name except MP. Mr. Drury had all the answers for interviewer Fisher‘s quesâ€" tions, but he faulted on most of the points presented by Mr. Graffâ€" tey, who after years of study, still believes that the automobile, can be made a much safer vehicle for the driver and pedestrian alike, at very little cost. They have some of the. best Cabinet timber that this country has ever seen. There are three Cabinet miniâ€" sters I would like to talk about in this week‘s column,. and, beâ€" fore I go any further, I would like to stress that they are among thoss in Oftaws charsed with thk responsibility of upholding justice and protecting the safety, health and welfare of all Canadians. The three we are going to disâ€" cuss are; C. M. Drury, minister of industry; Arthur Laing, miniâ€" ster of Indian affairs and Northâ€" ern development and Allan Macâ€" Eachern, minister of national health and welfare. Before the television show endâ€" ed, Mr. Grafftey mopped up the floor with Mr. Drury and I think that viewers, had they been givâ€" en the chance, would have known whom ‘to choose as their next minister of industry. The topic was whether the "Canadian‘"‘ â€" automobile industry is doing enough to make the car a safe vehicle to drive in. Canada‘s "Ralph Nader‘"‘ sugâ€" gested a dozen ways the Federal government . could ‘"encourage" the industry to produce a safer vehicle, but Mr. Drury had anâ€" swers for them all. His main excuse, however, was that overseeing the manufacture of brake systems, steering wheels, tires, lights, and so on is a proâ€" vincial responsibility since the provinces control highways and traffic conditions and it is not the Federal government‘s job as Mr. Grafftey suggested. The Liberal members of parliaâ€" ment have a lot to be proud of. Mr. Drury belives the auto inâ€" dustry is making great strides to improve cars while Mr. Grafftey maintains the manufacturers are doing just enough to sop public opinion. Mr. Drury said Canada has a much lower accident rate and fatâ€" ality toll than France. Company of â€"Canada was founded, until April, 1945. Since then the "millionth" milestones have come with increaging swiftness. Four million telephones in just 22 years. We feel that this rapid growth of telephones in our territory reflects the vitality and everâ€"expanding development of the two provinces. For 14 of those. 22 years Canadians have held the title of the "world‘s talkingest people." Perhaps that is partly the results of Bell Canada‘s efâ€" forts in helping Canadians bridge the miles for most of our country‘s 100 years. No special celebrations marked the installation of the 5 millionth telephone. In fact, we have no idea which home or office in our territory can claim the honor. You could be using it, however, if you had a telephone installed late last month. Well, how does it feel to be 100 years old? Exhilarâ€" ating, isn‘t it, all the celebrations, fun and excitement marking Centennial Year? I hope all of you had a great July 1 celebration and also that you are able to enjoy many of the special events seemingly going on everyâ€" where in the country this year, It almost appears as though Canada and Canadians have rediscovered that fun is contagious. It should be a lively, exciting and friendly road towards our 200th year. We in Bell Canada are also celebrating a new mileâ€" stone this month. Late in June the 5 millionth telephone went into service somewhere in our Quebec or Ontario territory, It hardly seems possible that just four years after we added our 4 millionth telephone this new record has been set. After all it did take 65 years to reach the one million mark. From 1880, when The Bell Telephone You may have noticed that for the past several months TELEPHONE NEWS, the small insert that arrives with your account, has been carrying a message about the Area Codes in different parts of Canada.

Brackenbury, ‘"‘Liberal House Leader Allan MacEachern opposes filming the debate on the Cape Breton bill. He said yesterday it would be of greater benefit if the CBC were to film a less complex and techâ€" nical bill to inaugurate television in the Commons. Asked if he agreed, the minister of Indian affairs said he doubted very much if the Canadian Inâ€" dian could survive more than a couple of weeks without federal aid and direction. In medieval times no one defies the king. Wonder if the Manitoba Metis will dare to defy the white king of red Indians? Please observe that Mr. Macâ€" Eachern is noted in Ottawa for progressive ideas and has been mentioned as eventual prime minister â€" material. â€" Televising House of Common‘s debates is also considered progressive. Now to quote the Globe: ‘"The CBC wanted to film all stages of debate on a bill for use in a 13â€"week series this fall and wanted to do it this month. This narrowed the choice to legâ€" islation on the establishment of the Cape Breton Development Corp., a new Crown corporaâ€" tton ... "Speaker Lucien Lamoureux has taken the position! that unâ€" animous consent is required if the cameras are to be allowed in â€" and many backâ€"benchers, parâ€" ticularly Liberals, are opposed.

He appeared after a Manitoba Metis, who may be emerging as leader of the Canadian Indians, aired some beefs before a large gathering and wound up his speech by suggesting that perâ€" haps the best means of guaranteeâ€" ing Indian survival would be to abolish the department of Indian affairs. Mention of \Mr.. MacEachern comes via a recent news story in the Globe and Mail. "Can 800 Canadian traffic deaths a year be considered a ‘good‘ record"? Mr. Grafftey shot back â€" either in those words or words to that effect.
