Frost Emphasizes DON DHEARN TORONTOPremier host is making quite number of speeches these days And there is one point he is making in them which is wcl come Money does not grow on trees Is the way he expresses It DO SERVICE When he was speaking at the official opening of the Ontario Hospital Services Commission building Mr Frost madethls pointewlth bit of an apology Perhaps he said he might be permitted to bring this up at this stage of my political life if he continues to bring It up this stage of his political life could be one of the most valu able OUT FOCUS Over the years Mr Frost has from time to time given remind ers that money does not grow on trees But being an active politi cian he has not stressed this And being an active politician in the biggest spending times in our history he has not stressed itnenrlyenoughfor ourown good And neither has any other politician And the result of course In that we have grown quite out of iocus on the way we throw monayaround In fact mostpollticlanathenr sclvcs seem to have the idea that money grows on trees COMMON SENSE Mr Frost has been one who has been quite conscious all along that it doesnt And now that he wont have to worry about support at the polls much longer perhaps he will be able to continue valu able service in pointing this out In this same speech heJaid that In the future we will have to be selective about things we do Further there are many things which we would like to do but which in all com mon sense we should have to do without if we are to keep our taxes within manageable lim my This means that we should carefully decide whetherlt is common some to build elabor Jlalue Oi Dollar ate frill schools Whether all the swimming pools and audi toriums are necessary Whether we need big city halls and elaborate court houses in all cases of spending in fact whether we absolutely need what is being talked about It is quite unlikely that the politicians themselves will ever talk about these things And an elder statesman such as Mr Frost can do great service in keeping them before the public Will Issue Dally Fallout Readings TORONTO CDThe Ontario health department announces it will begin Issuing

warden to fight the case in court dozens of special courts would be needed to cope with the congestion And as has been stated this might mean the collapse of the whole traffic warden systems CASES ARE
