Ae Funeral directors, insurance salesmen, civil servants. and clergymen, have one thing in common : they should not declare themselves for any political party, this is if they intend to remain in business. But today I want to crticize letter to one of our city papers put quote him: "As a resident of York Humber, 1 have for many years endured with embarassment the destructive antics of Ralph Cowan, M.P. His wellâ€"known distate for anything reâ€" lating to the French of Quebec is disgusting; his disregard for national unity is appalling." This doesn‘t bother me half so much as Ralph Cowan‘s attitude toward hanging. He used a technicality to stall the vote on the Government‘s compromise antiâ€"capital punishment bill, He was the only one to refuse the unaniâ€" mous consent needed to suspend the private members‘ hour when debate on the bill ran to the deadline. Thankfully, despite the Old Testament views of the Presbyterian member from Yorkâ€"Humber, the bil}l went on its way. It bothers me to think that some of us are repreâ€" sented in Parliament by a man who will vote to take human life, and who, if all I hear reported is correct, has also some rather merciless views concerning divorce. The odd thing about it is this: Ralph Cowan is a charming man. I met him and liked him on sight. He and George Ben were attending the 50th anniversary of a wonâ€" derful pair of people at the Lakeshore Lions Arena, and while there I talked to both. Mr. Cowan was pleasant, cheerful, and kindly. He mentioned to me that he was on the Senate of Victoria University and couldn‘t bring himself to vote for an honorâ€" ary doctorate for a United Church clergyman. Being a Presbyterian, he didn‘t feel that any United Church clergyman could possibly be worthy of honor. But I knew he was joking. I enjoyed our conversation, and felt attracted by his personality. After we had chatted for a few minutes, 1 found myâ€" self saying to him: "I am called badâ€"tempered, and irasâ€" cible, but as far as I can see, in your public life you make me look like a rank amateur. I have been told that you are the most terribleâ€"tempered man in politics." He laughed, and went on to give other illustrations of his charm. What a contrast! What a shame! I could like Ralph Cowan. I do like Ralph Cowan. But Ralph Cowan M.P. is something else again. I‘ve been asking oldâ€"time residents why Mr, Cowan is so miserable on the public scene. One of his misdeâ€" meanors involved the heckling and nameâ€"calling of Maurice Sauve, Frenchâ€"Canadian Cabinet Minister. Then there was his hangâ€"up on the unanimous consent needed to suspend the private members‘ hour on the antiâ€"capital punishment bill. What kind of a man is this? No wonder he ran into trouble with his own party. Some of the local residents seem to take a perverse pride in his irascibility. "Ralph is no party man!" one man said to me. "Ralph is an independent‘s independent. He‘ll say what he likes and vote how he likes." I suppose that is his charm. We live in a day where funeral directors. insurance salesmen, civil servants, and clergymen are afraid to speak out for fear of losing business, their jobs, or parishioners. Ralph Cowan is afraid of no man. He is not afraid of losing his $18,000â€"aâ€"yearâ€"job. Either that or he knows full well that the people of York Humber as just as bad fempered as he is, and really appreciate his outbursts. By Rev. R. C.

MEMO FROM A CAR DEALER Tonight Many motorists, o‘Poul to trade in their used cars, often wince when the salesman quotes them an allowance figure. They fail to realize he is only quoting, not setting, the market price. Starting out to estimate a tradeâ€"in deal, most dealers use one of the popular price guides for a general indication of wholesele or retail prices. These are figures obtained from auctions and seles rq:om across the country and represent an approximate average of values. They are never a substitute for the specific valuation a dealer puts on a car from his dayâ€"toâ€"day knowledge of what it will bring on his own lot. It is plainly evident, then, that the real used car price setter is the cautious used car shopper who looks long and hard betore he lays out his hard earned money, What he is prepared to pay for e porticular model in a given condition is that car‘s true market value. it logically follows, because profit and loss economics is a hard moster, a dealer offering you more for your car than its true market vnlue MUST chortchanae vou somewhere else if he is to survive ~ t Iog.collry follows, because profit and loss economics is a hard moster, a dealer offering you more for your car than its true market value, MUST shortchange you somewhere else if he is to survive economically. * You are likely to be much more sotistied with your ‘deel‘ e» well as your new car if you select your dealer with care.
