Terrie Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Unified is Bayftcld street Barrie Ontario sarunnar NOVEMBER is im Plgo THE WESTERN TROIKII Diefenbaker Proposes Senate Reform Debate Prime Minister Diefenbaker has stated that senete reform will be one of the items to be placed before the House of Commons at the next session Surveys of public opinion have shown time and again that most Canadians donct have high regard for the Senate and would indeed shed no tears if it were abolished It would not be disaster if Mr Dlefen bakers proposals for reform went so far as abolition but it would be more than pity There is definitely lace for second chamber in the Cana an federal system of governmentif only as brake on an irnpetuous Commons loaded with members of one party It is not the idea of the Senate that needs reforming but the attitude of gov ernments towards the Senate As con ceived by the Fathers of Confederation it was to be place for sober second thoughts and such place is still needed But then the ideal was forgotten and prime minister after prime minister used the Senate as convenient pasture for old party workhorses or as recept acle for olitical gratitude The inevia table resut was that the Senate became loaded with men who were too old too decrepit or too inadequate to carry out the proper functions of the second cham ber There have been brilliant men in the Senate but they have been far too few to force the institution itself into anything but very sporadic effectiveness We do not think that election by popular national or regional vote would provide the sort of Senate that would in truth chamber of second thoughts We do not need any more rubber stani for elected governments It may well go that sort of restricted vote could pro vide an effective Senate however selection by widely representative com mittee or commissions to be presented to the government for approval with the full knowledge of the public One definite step that should be tak en is the lacing of an age limit on mem bers of Senate Down Memory Lane FIFTY YEARS AGO The pleasure of steamboat trip on Lake Simcoe is recalled by Excursion ads One said The CMBA will run an ex cursion to

Strength Added To Roberts Cabinet ly DON OHEARN TORONTO few words about our new cabinet min infers This is stronger cabinet than the last Frost government except of comes for Mr host himself The added strength mainly comes from the realignment of portfolios however rather than from the men who have been added But at least one of thcso you would say will definitely have considerable to contribute And though the other two are still questionmarks at least the mark loans towards the optimis tic side am STEWART Stewart Minister of Agriculture is the known strong man of the new group He is sclfrnade and pros perous farmer still in his 40 He apparently has ample tech nical equipment to be good minister life can espress hlmchlf quite unit an firmly seems to hdilye good concise mind And he also seems to have what it takes to be an efficient ad ministrator who will get both loyalty and good work out of his staff More important he has given th elmpresslon that he has broad mind There could be no more valu able altrlbule than this today in the agricultural portfolio with great transformation un derwoy in the farm industry and considerable frenzy already having been shown cool broad mind will be needed to find out what the right new avenues are and lead the industry to them There was considerable regret when Hon George Wardrope was shifted from reform insti tutions to mines It was generally agreed that the warmhearted pride of tho Lskchcad had done magnifi unt job in this department and seemed to be lust what it needed Irwin iieskett Ls lust about the opposite to Mr Wardropc instead of being gregarious hearty and jovial be Is do tachcd reserved and precise ACCOUNTANT TYPE Mr Wardrope himself might have been either former in mate or former warden of one of his own institutions You feel hlr Huskctt would have been hcod accountant Howcva this is only the sur facc We dontknow this man well here yet He has only been in the house two years And he not an outgiving person However we do know that he has high sense of responsibil ity bettcr than average pres encc and is diligent and than ough worker You feel he doesnt know peo ple particularly the type of poo ple that land up in loll And that the man heading his inla islry should But time will tell Charles MacNaughtoo minister without portfolio will be dismissed here with the com ment that he is one of the most promising politicians to enter the house in recent years He is cordial charming energetic and intelligent You have the feeling there will be much more to write about him later BIBLE THOUGHT have

to all LETTERS TO EDITOR Dear Sir Who owns the Barrie arena In recent report it appears that debenture loan has been floated to ay off several debts including cost of the new roof on the arena which leads me to assume that the building is publldyowned and is operat ed by commission for the ratepayers of the city If thatla so believe the mayor is member of that body by virtue of his office but he was apparently not aware of the ruling that there would be no tagging inside the arena or for stipulated distance outside If this is the case it is small wonder that public ownership has fallen into dis requ when petty bureaucrats can bar canvassers the timehonored Poppy Fund from selling pop ies on public pro perty and area them to stand in inclement weather to car ry on with this fine project On the other hand if the arena is operated under free enterprise perhaps when th next require money from the citizens they might get taste of their own medicine by being compelled to stand so in any feet away from City Hall and sell sodden tags to passers by after that they might have more consideration for officers of the Legion who are doing fine job and who incidentally spend much time and consider able money fostering minor sports and bringing along pot ential box office attractions for this same commission Is it professional jealousy that prompts them to prevent amateurs at soliciting funds as Joe Kaake and Gord Hyslopl operating where the commission have their pitch or is itthat they hate to see few paltry pickles and dimes diverted from the concessions at the arena Everyone knows that the Pop py Fund which has the good wishes of more important peop la than the commission is us ed solely to help needy veter ans and their families including hona fldc exvscrvlcemen who get stranded in Barrie and re quire meal and bed be fore going on their way The 43rd sale of puppies has just ended and this the first time have heard of popy py sellers being barred from anyplace whether publicly or privately owned Hitherton they have been given courteous con sideration for which the officers of the Legion both past and pr esent are very grateful SAVE MONEY If the present officers feel as do they would be strong ly inclined to spend the money now spent on youngsters many of whom are not even remotely connected with the Legion the families of veterans who through circumstances beyond their control are in need of the assistance that the Poppy Fund could give By cutting out these activities they could save more money than they are liable to collect at the arena during the Poppy Campaign thereby savlt ing the commission the anguish of turning the canvasecrs away am confident that all right thinking people will feel th at hanrnpologyds duo the victims of this highhandedness together with promise that there will be no repetition of it in future regulation if such there is can be changed and earnest ly hope it will be changed be for the next sale of poppies
