Wednesday, May 20, 1989 Her Majesty When plans were being made for the visit of Queen Elizabeth to Canada this Fummer, the Queen made it quite evi- dent that she wished the tour to be #horn of as much formality as possible "#0 that she could meet and mingle with average citizens and learn more at first hand how they live and work, It is appropriate that on July 1, Cane ada's 92nd birthday, the Queen, as mon= arch of this country, should bs hostess at a birthday dinner at Government House in Ottawa when the Invited guerts will include a cross-section of the population, There will be industrialists, to repre= sent the nation's expanding industrial fe, But these people will not be confine ed to the presidents of large corpora tions, With the president of the Alumi«- num Company of Canada and the Brit- ish Columbia Power Corporction = one privately, the other publicly owned = will be the owner of a fish packing plant and fishing fleet in Newfound~ land, Labor will be represented by the head of the Canadian Congress of Lae To Meet Canadians At Dinner bor, and farming will be represented by a farmer from the West, In addition, the group of 35 guests will Include leaders in the field of edu« cation, the arts, music, literature, painte ing, the drama; of science and religion; of sport and the professions, and, of course, the press, Only two in the group will represent official circles, These are Prime Minister Diefenbaker and the Leader of the Opposition, Hon. L, B, Pearson, Some of the guests will be wo= men, This may be a break with tradition as far ns Canada has been concerned, but it is in keeping with the wish of the Queen to be as close to her people as possible, both at home and abroad, We have seen Prince Charles sent by his parents to a regular school rather than receive his education from a tutor at the palace. We see both the Queen and her husband break free on visits to different parts of the world, as well as in Britain, mixing with crowds in stores and 2lsewhere Eyes On Car Owners Municipalities in search of new sources of revenue keep looking in the direction of car owners, the Sudbury Star notes, and goes on to comment: It may surprise some people to know that there is already municipal taxation on cars in Fredericton and Newcastle In New Brunswick, The city of Moncton i§ also at the thinking stage Whether the scheme will spread to other provinces is a question that has po answer, The provinces set up their own municipal law and the legal points would have to be ironed out on per- missive legislation One of the arguments heard from those who favor a municipal tax on motor vehicles is that streets must be built to standards suitable for motor Low-Average At long last, it seems, an educational pundit, is giving some attention to a 'lass of students who need and might profit from attention, The problems of developing the 'sue perior" student = who as a rule is mene tally equipped to handle his own probe lems--~have been intensively discussed, , and cecording to Dean Margaret Habein "of the University of Wichita, great strides have been made with this cate- gory. in an ad- traffic, Because of this requirement those who drive on the streets should pay for them, On the surface there appears to be logic in the argument, Further study brings up the point of double taxation when the ear owner is also a municipal taxpayer, When the cost of building a street is charged proportionately as a local improvement against his property can he be expected to pay additional costs because he has a car? And what about all other motor vehicle drivers from the suburbs and outside points? After paying sales tax and excise tax when he buys his car, and then gasoline tax when he wants to operate it, the av erage car owner is likely to feel he is already carrying an equitable share of tax burdens, Students velop the full potential of the C-aver« age college student, C-average students have been neglics ted = and Dean Habein pointedly re- marks that there will be many more voters in the C-average group than in the A-average. She adds: "C.students will be determining nae tional and international policy, through their votes, far more than A-students, Whether we continue to be a nation suspicious of intellectuals, unwilling to support education because we do not really believe in its worth, may be the MRS, FAIRELOUGH'S IMMIGRATION SOMER SAULT D4 PARLIAMENTARY HURDLES 7% OTTAWA OLYMPICS OF CANADA -- GALLUP POLL Lives) Approval Of PM's Job Show Sharp Decrease By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Approval for the way Prime Minister John Diefenbaker 1s handling his role has nose-dived since August of last year when it stood at 64 per cent, Today's comparable figure 1.

I am sure when my child Is of school age 1 will take up «resis dence elsewhere rather than sub.

Why not u royal com. mission Inquiry to look into this situation? It requires a little more than a few thousand signatures to reroute the proposed CNR line through Pickering, P.

These odd seats with pluralities: are the reason that conservative Conservatives say the party could sink as low as 53 members on © not eve e" Conservative believes there is a chance in the world of it happening. Actually a 1,000 plurality is a margin, unless the riding is low ¢ saliest exceptionally large such as some of the Yorks, And in the seats where govern. ment men squeezed through cons ditions have changed since 193, Messrs. Spooner and Yaremko, for instance have both been taken into the cabinet, In Bellwoods, where Mr. Yar ig has had two close shaves, s former strong opponent, Jo- seph Gould, has switched to St, Andrew, And in St. Andrew, Mr, Grossman should have it easier without the presence of Joe Sals- berg, who held the riding firmly for 12 years, LIBERALS WORSE On a comparative basis the Liberals are worse off than the government members on the 1958 statistics. The bulk of their seats could be looked on as "doubtful." The pluralities under 2,000 were: Brantford, Gordon, 372; Bruce, Whicher, 1918; Essex North, Reaume, 649; Grer South, Oliver 1621: Kenora, Wren, 128; Kent East, Spence, 735; Oxford, Innes, J Wellington South, Worton, Out of their 11 seats, eight thus are in the dangerous category, (And Leader John Wintermeyer also is sald to have a fight in Waterloo North.)
