Har-, ris, Minister of Finance, walked into -.the House of Commons to present his "first Budget, It was evident that he was. pervous, but he seemed to be in 'good spirits. |, The Budget held a number aur | prises in tax reductions that Were not The most important of these, of course, was the personal in- come tax reduction," This will affect about 80 percent of the taxpayers. The reduction in car taxes of 5 direction, although it would have been, more effective if the entire amount of 16 percent excise tax had been re- maved. This would have stimulated the automobile business and helped in 'the unemployment situation. . The removal of the 10 percent ex- immediately will most certainly stimu- late the sales of these products. The Dehate on the Budget has been postponed until after the Easter Re- cess, Which will be on April 19th, and it is expected that Members of the Opposition will launch upon a eriti- cism of this Budget, pointing out where more relief" could have been given. to the taxpayefs who have been i overburdened with taxes for these _many-years, ° ment Insurance Act ha¥e been intro- duced in the House of Commons and there are a number of changes which will be of benefit to those who are affected. - Three new categories of the higher income bracket have been added .to the benefit rates but no in- 'éreases in benefits have been made in most 'of the old categories." Workers ill be credited with more benefit days for the.time they work but the maxi- mum time in which 'they may collect regular benefits will be reduced to thirty weeks in a year compared" to fifty-one NOW This could be supple- mented by an additional fifteen 'Weeks in the winter. ~ . Contributions by employees and em- ployers into the insurance fund will be made on a weekly instead of a daily basis to simplify bookkeeping. Each set of contributions will be about one percent of earnings instead of vary- ing widely. There will be a total of nine weekly wage categories. Stamp books for recording contributions will be re, tained but the handling of them will be streamlined. The Bill does not make provision for expanding the scope of Unemploy- ment Insurance. to types of workers not now covered. Contributions by wdrkers will be generally lower than not. required for their corresponding earnings class, This whole Bill will be fully dis-- cussed on Second Reading: Committee on Industrial Relations af- ter the Easter Recess.

He died for us and was resurrected in order that we humans would realize our responsibility and our part in the creation of a better world, but if we stop to contemplate we must realize that we have not lived up to the ex- pectations; that, instead of a better world, we seem to have failed in that respect and find ourselves in a world filled with hate, strife, suspicion, and distrust. 'People in- certain sections of the world at the present time are not free to worship God as they wish but 'are rather. enslaved and domin- | ated by godless leaders. To them. the time of Easter may quite possibly seem a meaningless sacrifice. I think it is-everyone's duty to stoffl] for a moment in our very :progressive life and take stock of ourselves. Are we doing anything personally to make this a better world? Are we in any way apostles of peace and understand ing among our neighbours and our friends in our communities? If we are not, then we should make a very earnest endeavour to do so. We must try to understand one another and be tolerant enough to consider the views of those who differ with us. A little more understanding and tolerance by everyone could very readily create a better world in which to live and the meaning of Easter would then be ful- 'filled. I wish to take this opportunity of wishing for the people of Ontario Riding~such unity and tolerance as I have expressed, so that you may have a very happy and joyous Easter. 1] <x Ground Observer Corps News. In the smallest towns and the larg- est cities, patriotic Canadians are tak part in our country's air defense.

It consists of both - military personnel and civilians. For the most part, the military takes charge -of the opera- tions of radar, anti-aircraft artillery, and fighter intercepters. Civilians man the observation posts and filter centres. Intruding aircraft are de- tected by their radar or the gréund observers. Ground observers are able to detect and report aircraft which are flying low, which. our radar network has. difficulty in picking up on their screen. Civilians also eperate the RCAF Filter Centres -- key points to which gall information from ground ob- servers is funnelléd, evaluated, and passed along to other RCAF control stations. On the basis of this steady flow of information, and also' other data from RCAF radar stations, 600 mile-an- hour jet fighters are sent aloft to identify and challenge any unidenti- fied aircraft. These planes and their pilots are ready around the clock to meet any aircraft which should not be in their area of operation. _ At present numerous gaps exist in the detection system because of lack of volunteers interested in defending this country of our.
