The decision to unite ail these various appeals into one appeal, was made in 1940, and it has proven to be a wise decision. It was accept- ed whole-heartedly by the citi- zens of Oshawa, because they appreciated the fact that instead of being subjected to many in- dividual campaigns for funds by the many worthy organizations in, the city, they would have only one community-wide appeal, in which all of these organizations would join, with their resources 4 MAC'S MUSINGS Within the last two weeks We have learned that a Large number of our friends Are living under a regime Of strict dieting in order TO lose excess poundage DATELINE LONDON Federal-Provincial PM's Perquisites Meetings Are Crucial The importance of properly or- ganized community planning, not only by single municipalities but ---------Financially, the season was the greatest success yet recorded.

These bare figures show that the Stratford Shakespearean Festival is now firmly established as an accepted feature of the cultural life by regions, has been stressed in a speech at London Ontario by. On- tario's premier John Robarts. What the premier had to: say on this sub- ject has been described in some quarters as being rather harsh, and to Nevertheless, there is some justifi- some extent dictatorial. eation for his statement that. if municipalities do not undertake proper measures of planning in their areas, the province might have to step in and do it for them. . This has been challenged as an en- eroachment on local autonomy. In a community like Oshawa, there is little need to fear that the province will have to take any action to bring about orderly plan- ning, not only of this city, but of the whole region of which it is the eentre. Oshawa was fortunate, in the first place, in having for so . long the voluntary services of Nor- man Millman, Success At Stratford who brought his The 1964 season of the Stratford which he, more than anyone else, was instrumental in laying down, has been followed assiduously by the citizens who have since given valuable service on the Oshawa Planning Board. This board, in co-operation with the councils of the municipalities surrounding Oshawa, has_ been fully conscious of the need for re- gional planning if Oshawa's city planning is to be. effective. The measures which have already been taken to co-ordinate road extension and development plans of the city and the townships have borne fruit in an orderly development of the whole area. Oshawa and the eurrounding area does not have to fear any serious intervention by the govern- ment to enforce modern planning ideas. Indeed, this community might well set a fine example to other On- tario districts as to how it can and should be done, from 97 per cent for the perform- " Shakespearean Festival -- its 12th ances of King Lear to 75 per cent anniversary season -- has estab- lished a new record for receipts at the box office.

When the dele- gates got to the council meeting they discovered that the council was meeting privately and each ' delegate was heard separately.

Are the plums 'attached to the office of prime minister of Britain worth the effort being put into Britain's present election cam- paign? Strange though it may seem, the Canadian plums are juicier and our prime minister is ma- terially much better provided for than Britain's. Sir Alec Douglas - Homie, leader of the Conservative party, is battling against Har- old Wilson, Labor party chief- tain, for the vote of 37,000,000 electors, Of these, 7,000,000. will not bother to vote in the elec- tion, while the others on aver- age will each attend one-tenth of an election meeting and will read seven-tenths of an election manifesto--but they are being electioneered to death in their own homes through television! Half a million voters swing: ing one way or the other will decide which of these two bat- thing giants will become Her Majesty's first minister -- or, more descriptively, since Brit- ain like Canada has so largely replaced parliamentary. govern- ment by prime ministerial auto- cracy, which wiill be the unfet- tered ruler of Britain for the next five years. PLUMS OF VICTORY Board and lodging--of a kind ~ is one of the plums of vic- tory. The winner will be en- titled to live in the official residence of British prime min- isters at 10 Downing stneet.. He will receive the highest pay and allowances granted to any elec- ted politician by Parliament out of. the taxpayers' money. He will enjoy the use of the historic country residence called Che- quers, and he will be offered the ennoblement of an earldom by the monarch when ullti- mately he leaves his high of--- fice. The prime minister of Brit- ain receives a total of $32,250 in pay and allowances per year. Thig is less than any Canadian departmental minister, and about half the gross benefits of our prime minister, lle may call 10 Downing Street his address, But to my suprise I have unearthed the little-known fact that he and his family are mere squatters in that great mansion, thrust away in a tiny apartment in the attic. He shares the house by day with his staff of 45 clerks and stenographers who work in on offices on the lower floors, while the ground floor contains the cabinet council chamber as well as the state dining room, and the second floor is made up of three formal state reception rooms. On the top floor are four bedrooms and a small sitting room reserved for the prime minister and his family. In contrast, our prime min- ister enjoys 24 sussex drive as @ private home; the append- ages of his office are ail con- tained in the East Block on Parliament Hill. Chequers is the English ver- of the Harrington Lake try hideaway provided for our prime minister. When the British leader entertains for- eign potentates or other VIPs at Chequers, he receives a special allowance of $45 per weekend to cover the expense, On an occasion such as the Commonwealth Prime Minis- ters Conference, this allowance works out at about 3 cents per person per meal--a pitiful sum which is 'swallowed with the first gulp of the pre - prandial martini, and from that point on the prime minister pays the bill out of his own pocket. In contrast, 24 Sussex Drive is stocked with food largely at the expense of the taxpayer. DIGNIFIED DISH-WASHER When the present prime min- ister first moved into 10 Down- ing Street, his wife and daugh- ters did the cooking and he helped with the table - setting and the washing - up; Sussex Drive has a staff of five whole- time domestic workers paid for by the taxpayers. The British tradition has called for patriotic plutocrats to give their services in gov- ermment for a pittance. Thus, Sir Alec Douglas-Home has just sold two large farms on his estates in Scotland, rateing thereby $292,250. Part of this is no doubt being applied towards the inheritance tax of $1,050,000 payable when his father died some years ago, but part is certainly being used as spend- ing money to maintain himself, his family and his official guests at 10 Downing Street and at Chequers. The plums of office in Canada are far more generous from a material point of view. They have to be, for we sadly lack the tradition of successful men offering their services to the country which has enabled them to acquire their weailth, Newspaper Advertising Growing Business Magnet Advertising in newspapers gets many more readers and nets a far larger share of their attention than hitherto believed, and the newspaper ad "acts as a magnet for the people likely to buy'. These were the major findings of a massive nation- wide study undertaken recently by the Bureau of Advertising in the United States. The $100,000 study was con ducted in 400 localities among 2,326 adult newspaper readers. While the study was confined to national advertising, the find- ings would apply equally to local advertising which normally gets an even highe readershin Reading, 'he stud: showed, was a highly sélective process in which prospects we: ly attracted to the to them, a process that did not ocour in the electronic media where prospects and non-pros- pects were diffused at random among listeners or viewers of any particular commercial. Explaining this phenomenon, the researchers said, that once a page is opened, readers scan it for items of interest to them and screen out the irrelevant. Most readers will agree that is just how they read their news- papers. The report goes on to say that comparing prospects interested in certain products, those with some interest re- ported seeing 31 per cent more ads than those not interested in a Droduct, and' those w'th ::od- erate to high interest 75 to 100 per cént more ads.

By KEN KELLY OTTAWA (CP) -- Federal- provincial relations enter a new and, in the view of some observ- ers, a crucial period during the next four weeks in a series of ministerial and prime minister- fal talks, The first of these conferences of the provinces and the fed- eral government meet to iron out details of the formula under _ which the federal Parliament is to gain control of amending the . Canadian constitution in areas of joint federal-provincial con- cern, ry Next comes the conference of finance ministers just after the Queen leaves the capital Oct. 13. Their job is to set the terms of reference under which a tax structure committee is to exam- ine the whole field of federal and provincial revenue sources in relation to the obligations of the two levels of government. Close on their heels, the pro- vincial premiers and Prime Minister Pearson will meet to review the efforts of the two earlier conferences and put the tinal touches to the picture of federal-provincial relations. WILL FORM PART A number of other federal- ovinelal contacts at a high level probably will form a part, though not a dominant element, of the picture.
