A new political party has been born in Canada. Unlike most new parties it does not sprihg out of the crisis of the moment. Rather. more truthfully the new party represents, as it were, a marriage convenience of two poor and distant in- ideas and perhaps ideals, 'has failed to capture any sizable support and the Canadian Congress of Labour, itself a merger of two labour groups; has never been articulate enough or adventurous enough to enter the political arena. But now the C.C.F, and C.C.L. have come to- ) na They say in union there is strength and certainly the two bodies stand in need of that. ~ What the new party will be called is still anybody's guess, However, it is certain that no name will be found in a combination of their present titles. C.C.F. has always been a handicap as a title for'a party, and ,C.C.L. is little better. Free University Education This week the President of the Univer- sity of Toronto made some startling pro- postals regarding university education. The two most important ones had to do with granting free tuition to first class students and the lengthening of the aca- + demic year by reducing the summer holi- "days to two months. . } have met a mixed ~The proposals reception from the presidents of _other Onta es The President of Carleton has expressed his opposition; others have suggested that such proposals are fine but rather impracticable. How many students with first class stand- ing in Grade XIII fail to go on to Univer- sity? How many more would go if tuition were free? These question seem basic to any intelligent examination of the propos- als. Furthermore, what dislocation would be brought about by reducing the length of _ time students have in which to build up funds necessary to defray all or part of their expenses at college?

Notes and Comments = A New Political Party =~ or - For what it is. worth we suggest that the name of the new party be the Union Pro- gressive Party of Canada. Even in French this goes very well 'in the euphonious Union-progressive - Partie Canadienne. Furthermore, part of the title has already hecome a by-word in at least one part of Canada. Even by 1960 when the new party first makes its bid for support the word Union might still carry some weight. But the name of the new party, import- ant as it is, must be' considered relatively minor in the light of its avowed platform. If the party goes out for intelligent control of Canada's resources and the nationaliza- tion of -basic industries and if it provides - for a generous representation of farmers much as the present party in power pro- vides for a. generous representation of lawyers, the party should win sufficient support to give the two old parties some- thing to think about. sity education might be tried. The govern- ment might make available to the univer- sity funds from. which needy students might berrow to finance their education. These loans should be repayable over a period of years after graduation and a very small rate of interest charged. After in- itiating such a scheme careful statistics could be compiled to determine whether it would be advisable to provide free tuition for a certain class or classes of students. One thing that the proposals fail to con- sider is the cost of a university education apart from tuition fees. = Such fees in most cases represent not more than twenty to twenty-five per cent of the total cost of one year at university. What use is it to provide free tuition if the student cannot afford to accept it and reducing the sum- mer vacation by three months would serve to put a university education out of reach The proposals seem to be based on an insufficient analysis of the total situation and no doubt this is why so many of the educational leaders in the province are opposed to it. the people.

Both Pickering Township and Pick- ering Village councils have considered the two-year term. Probably next) year the question will be put before "Scarboro, Markham and others are now voting on the two-year term basis. To some it has pros and cons, It does give a new councillor a chance to learn something and be of more value to the community, and cuts down the expense of a yearly election. On the other hand, if a poor or weak council is elected the people are stuck with it for two years and a lot of harm can be done over that period. RURAL BUS LINE CAN CHARTER GROUP ANYWHERE IN PICKERING TWP. A resolution passed last week by Pickering Township Council will be good news for any parties chartering the Rural Bus Lines at Brougham. They will now be 'able to pick up chartered groups anywhere in the township. ; vg -_ Previously this bus company could only pick up at Broughant and east on No. 7 as far as Kinsale, This was an inconvenience to all concerned.

It is believed that of this amount $700 is collect- able. About 1,650 dog tags are now issued in the township. "It was agreed by council that pound-keeper Mr. Gerigs collect these arrears and receive the fee of $1 for each one collected. -- FINE FOR BREAKING POP BOTTLES IN ROADWAY Allen O'Keefe was taught a lesson the other day by Magistrate Moore and Chief Hunter. He kicked a .bot- tle of pop off the sidewalk onto Kent Street, Lindsay, where it broke into many pieces. O'Keefe was fined $10 and costs and also had to clean up the broken glass with a broom. MAY BUILD 2000 HOMES IN PICKERING TOWNSHIP Reeve Wm, Lawson announced on Monday evening, that Pickering Twp. Council and Planning Board were studying a proposed 2,000 home de- velopment at Frenchman's Bay. The Crusader Development Corporation of Toronto have taken an option on five farms in the area. Approxim- ately 600 acres of land is involved. The optioned properties extend from the Sandy Beach Road on the east to Moore's Road on the west, and from the C.N.R. line on the north t6 Lake Ontario. The Toronto firm has tentatively agreed to supply all internal services and in addition, they will pay a por- tion of the capital cost of a, water and sewage plant and main trunk lines: Land would bé reserved in the proposed development for commer- cial and industrial sites. The Company proposes to erect semi-detached, singlg family and mul- tiple dwellings. ..._A__siniilar_ project has, been developed in the towns of firm ia desirous to start work on the Whitby and Ajax. If approved, the | LCONSUMER'S GAS TO LAY EIGHT MILES OF MAIN IN STOUFFVILLE Consumer's Gas Co. will commence this coming spring to lay approxim- ately eight miles of gas mains throughout Stouffville, according to representative W. J. Heaton who spoke tothe local council on Monday night. It was at first expected that only a main street line and a couple of trunk lines to new sub-divisions would be laid but these plans have now been changed to include the en- tire town, Plans for the complete installation are filed with the town and were ap- proved by council for 1959. CAR HITS TREE THREE INJURED PIR) Wesley Patton, Chester Holley and Mrs. Jesse Holley of Holland Centre, were severely injured here when the car in which they were riding went | through a checker board sign and off the road 85 feet into a tree while travelling to Peterborough last Satur- day night. The accident occured at the corner of the 7th Con. of Reach and Lilla St. N. in Port.Perry. Chief A. C, Menzies of the Port Perry Po- lice Investigated. Dr. S. Kandel, Port Perry, who treated the injured sent the patients to the Oshawa General Hospital by ambulance. It has been reported by Dr. Kandel that they are in fair con- dition. CLIPPED COMMENTS TIME AGAIN TO TIGHTEN RESTRICTIONS A few years ago, Stouffville was practically open territory for any de- veloper who wished to come in, and there were very few restrictions or expenditures asked of him. When it became apparent that such develop- ment was a losing proposition for the municipality, a subdivision agreement vider must put in all the services, paved roads, and pay $400 a lot to- wards other expenses. A Planning 'Board was formed in town and has gone ahead nandling must also share the cost." was arranged whereby each sub-di- sub-divisions - as they came, on this basis, } Now it appears that, even with these restrictions and funds provided in the sub-division Agreement, fur- ther residential sub-divisions can cost the municipality and the other resi- dents money, particularly in the mat- ter of schools. While it is true that the sub-divider must put out thous- ands of dollars to get his development underway, there is nothing for schools which take sixty percent of the tax dollar. So again, the Planning Board feels that there must be a tightening down. So far, Stouffville has been unsuc- cessful in attracting industry and un- less thig industrial assessment can be provided, the municipality cannot take on\ any more homes and their associatgd educational problem, the Planp ng Board feels. The door is not being shut to home- building, but it does carry a guaran- tee that if the homes come, factories will be built along with them. There is no thought of annexing land just to build homes, and unless the suggested annexed land can pro- duce other types of assessment in a fair ratio, it should remain to be farmed as at present. --Stouffville Tribune. 0f Many Things By Ambrose Hills COMPETITION OVERDUE Because of a heavy work schedule, I was told by the travel agent that I'd better fly if I wanted to get home in time to keep up to deadlines. He booked up through TCA. When I veturned home, 1 had a credit on an unused portion of my ticket, so I went over to the TCA of- fice in Winnipeg to collect. I stood in a line where a girl was serving other customers. However, when I finally reached the head of the line, the young lady looked at me coldly and said, "See one of the other girls, please." ; I assumed that she had noted, by looking at the ticket in my hand, that it was a mattér of.rebate and that she didn't handle that type of busi- ness. So, in a docile mood, I went to 'another line, to wait my turn. In a few moments I was surprised to. see the young lady who had looked at me so coldly go smiling by, and one of the girls I was waiting to see smiled back. "See vou after coffee," she said. ) If she had snuck out quietly, I might not have been so annoyed. But to deliberately turn away from a cus- tomer. and boldy walk out for coffee was too much for me. I can just imagine how long a writer would last if he took that cavalier attitude to- wards an editor! Yet TCA's sales- people can get away with it--because they have a monopoly. If I fly that trip again, I must fly TCA. There is no competition. I came back to my typewriter de- termined to write a letter to the pre- sident of TCA and give him a piece of my mind. I feel sure that in due course I would have received a letter telling me of the staff problems con- fronting them, and of their earnest desire to give good service. That, however, would not have satisfied me. In my opinion, the only way the customer can assert himself effective- ly is to change or threaten to change to a competitor. That's how I get service elsewhere. T hope that in the not too distant future I'll be able to have a choice when I fly. I'm not fond of flying at the best of times. Certainly I'm not going to fly again in a hurry if I can possibly help it; I'll go to quite a bit of trouble to avoid it. Perhaps many men feel the same way. Perhaps that's the reason TCA claims that it can't stand competition. ' Manchester Mrs. McBeth, Toronto, was a week- end guest of Mrs. Joe Bain. -- Mrs,J.

McLeish, Caledonia, re- porting on historical research and resulted in some interesting displays, she said. "Members active in com- piling Tweedsmuir History Books, should receive much apprecaition for it entails considerable effort and time" she stated. New Conveners are sometimes unfamiliar with W.I. pro- ceedure in regard to reports. All con- veners should have a hand-book and be reminded to look up their duties in it. Mrs, Armstrong said it was very discourteous for branches not to in- vite the District President and she should drop them a line saying as no special arrangements are made, when would it be convenient for me to oo your branch? In some branches the members hand in suggestions for next years program when they pay their dues. Some use branch directors to recruit new members. She said "When we assume an office, we also assume responsibility. Miss Helen McKercher, Director, Home Economics Service, said this was the largest conference attended. She stated 7000 women had taken the short-course, and there were 11000 in 4H Club program. Last year in the central area 16 girls had received pro- vincial honors. Miss McKercher an- nounced that Dr. Helen Abell of the Federal Dept. of Agriculture, will di- rect a new project in making a sur- vey of farm home-makers, to get specific and helpful information, con- cerning problems, needs and inter- ests of farm people and farm homes. W. I. members were asked to assist in the rural safety program survey of accidents on farm. Mrs. Haggerty, President, F.W.L.O. said "We all have something we can contribute. You will get out of the W.I. exactly what you put into it". We should not compete with other or- ganizations we should co-operate, She hoped the branches 'would take an ac- tive interest in retarded children. They can learn, but it must be taught in a special way. Miss F. Eadie, Supervisor Junior Millan was acclaimed Reeve on Mr.' Home Feonomies Service, showed slides on her trip to Ceylon to the A.C.W.W. Conference. We then had several selections from the Tunebus- ters of Brooklin. On Thursday even- ing we enjoyed the Junior Farmer's Choir, under the leadership of Murs. Elsie Dobson, alse a demonstration of Central Ontario Women's Institute Convention Chinaware by Mrs, H, Hardstone. Chinaware Dept. T. Eaton Co. Tor- onto. On_ Friday morning Mrs. Goode, Ontario Society on Ageing, Toronto said "Old people are just young people who have lived a long time. In China we would be looked up to and our advice sought, In Canada it was all Youth and Speed". She stat- ed we start to age as soon as we are born. Ageing hasn't much to do with the years we have lived. You are as old as you feel. She thought the prac- tice of neighborliness was fast dis- appearing. Older patients in home and hospital should know people are interested in them, and special atten- tion should be given older people when they have to move from their home to live with relatives or to the county home, and in bereavement. Institute members should be interested in older people, and visit them regularly. She said 706% of blind in Ontario are older people. Many libraries have the book "Ageing Ns everyone's concern". It is $2.00 and can be obtained from Ontario Society of Ageing, 4 St. Tho- mas St., Toronto 5. Information con- cerning the course on Training women to visit and nurse older people can be obtained from Miss Hope Holm- stead, Red Cross, Senior Citizens Ser- vice, 460 Jarvis St. Toronto. It is the mental attitude of the dri- ver that causes most accidents said Murs, Armstrong. We rush for what? Are we budgeting our time for better living ? She closed the convention with a prayer for Formosa, and a poem, Down the back Lane. When the tension and carves pet you down, just take a walk down the back lane with your collic by your side. Performance or Personality What do you think of the Show Ring? Do you go to see the live stock exhibited there cach year? Do you buy some of it occasionally? More importance perhaps: do you buy your stock according to the Standards of Quality established in the show ring? Does the show ring give any indica- tion of the Performance of an animal, or simply provide us with an idea of its Personality ? Can an average farmer make money from live stock which has excelled in the Ring? These very pertinent questions have been acked at one time or another by nearly every farmer. We would like to know the answers. In the Guide for Performance or Personality, Bert Hargraves of Walsh Alberta, one of the great ranchers of that province, takes a look at the standards he sets when he selects a quality steer. Fred Major of Prospect | Farms at London, Ont., gives us his views as a Show-ring Judge, on the points to look for in a quality animal. And finally, a grader for the Canada Department - of Agriculture tells us what he wants to find. Then, various types of Performance Testing being used in Canada today ranging from the R.O.P. for dairy cattle to Advanced Registry for hogs, are discussed in the Guide: Then of course, we want you to answer the questions posed earlier in order that the old argument of the Show-ring vs. the Performance Test can be ended.
