Burrard placed the problem in sbar focus when he told the National Liber Council that in many areas of Canada there were pockets of poverty where eople derive relatively little benefit rom existing

0ne0i Best Men To Deal With By DON OEEARN mitotriolherss an article on hill to in the current issue of Macleane magazine which leaves former AttorneyGeneral Red Cass in an snifairly bed ilsht The article gives the impres sion that Mr Cass did not get along with reporters one mlaht suspect to the point of bitter ness in one reference it says flatly The press gallery did not love him To some extent this is true There were some firblps the fol lery who did not love the on iner attorneygeneral But this was much more through their own inistration rather than through falling of Mr Case it happened that this year saw large number of report ers inexperienced in politics at the legislaturelarge even for this galls which is often used by the ionto papers as training graind for larger fieids Such msn generally suffer from two weaknesses in com mon They do not have the back ground to readily grasp the meaning or significance at many matters And this in turn intensifies the natural turn of any news paper man to be hit of headline hand They become constant human for sensation aiism Crime mnlies sensationslissn and so the attorneygeneral is the most frequent target in this hunt And as his department was very active Mr Cass was under constant pressure from the press At times he may have been short with some men as the erticlecharges And with others he may not have taken the cell svery time they phoned hlm But this should be taken low consideration if he had attempted to really explain his position on many of Me matters on whicblle was fiuesflonsdlt would have meant

rPeraonaily If found Mr Cass one of ths best ones to deal spectlve it was preclianess and he could give you quick answer to the point where an othca man would stumble and never come out frankly and

Views 0i Individual Voters Do Count With Canadas MPs Patriots Nicholsons aunt columnist today is Alfred liaise Progressive Con servative MP for Wellin ton Bonita Iy ALFRED W5 MP WAWA in travelling around my riding lfseplnl in touch with my constituents am often confronted with the remarks My opinion wouldnt count for anything Whats the use or What can do my views would only be lost in the shuffle in the democratic form of govemment the individual and is views must and do count because the government is the people As member oi Parlia ment lfor one can say that do apprsoietc receiving let ters from individuals expressing their views When the postal arrange mants are such that people can write to their member postage free there seems little reason why more people do not sit down and take time to write There is no doubt that their views are of great help to MPs One only needs to thinif of some of the controversial issues that have come before Parlia ment lately and their effect on the number of letters that have been sent to We The views expressed have gone long way towards help ing to formfhe opinion of MPs One example which lm mediater comes to mind is the great flood of mail which all We have received concerning the adopting of distinctive Ca nadian fies Never in my time as member or expect in history has so muchmsll been received on any aubiect Every letter received presents an in dividuals view FRANK FAN MAIL Another case which comes to mind concerns the Liberal gov ernments proposal to enact leg islation concerning the rules and regulations as they would apply tattie owners of cable television When person has TV pro grams wired directly into his home and be is told that this privilege ls going to be denied him and that filers may be regulations passed whereby he will be able aniyto view one American station and conceiv iaoopsin Dec 23 it wot Othersiwsrs unknowhio his sue rise Welds Ontario ably that the prolrsme on cable TV would be limited to certain hours of the day whsn on right and freedom is tinsat coed letters basin to ur in rotestlng This has he the ef ect that lhs members of parties have persuaded the av srnmsnt to delay any action in this regard The many letters received on the CATV question csrrled interesting observations and un rsiiricted views quota sen tence or two from some of them is it going to be If criminal offence to watch any TV program excspt the stats TV We like under Hitler Who is boss of the CBC it doe not resin fair to take away our leisure its like taking awsy uncut no er ope you may be able to prevent the Pearson outfit from cuttliIl out this simple pleasure with which we old folks pass many pleasant hours Another Cinfinue the fight the TV men have gone to heavy expense to sst up here These letters came from ale far away as the West Coast and many fromthe Lakehea and other parts of Ontario YOU VIEW D0 COUNT think howsvsr it should be said that individual letters to MFs are of much greater value than the organized bills method of relaying views By this mean the plans whereby some group has 4000 or 5000 cards printed and all the writer he to do is to fill in the name of the MP sign the card and drop it in mail box without ae stamp The are not nearly as ef fectlve as the rivets personal letter Many vows and ideas expressed at caucus meeiincs of all parties am sure come from views expressed by con stituents either by mail or part sonsl interview in conclusion would any that your views do count and without them there would be great danger of an MP setting out of touchwith his riding The people of Canada have right and treat privilege un der our democratic system ofn government to express their views and think they should use this right and privilege to greater extent
