of the supervis ory principal who would also act as treasurer for the schools the speaker pointed out that during the past year these 20 schools have spent over s900o for school supplies a figure which could be greatly reduc ed if the supplies were bought in larger quantities such a supervisory principal would be paid on a sliding scale ac cording to the number of chools and class looms under his control this salary would be eligible for department of education grants at present approximately sjow is spent annually on school administra tion duties mr hallman explained the three types of duties of a co ordinating principal in look ing after rural schools one of the first duties would be the supervision of instruction in the schools mr hallman stat ed that nearly 3sc of the tea chers

problem which often appeals in school boards where the secretary or treasurer seldom has any background in the school ad ministration and has only a few hours weekly to devote to the job attendance officer in addition the person hold ing the position would serve as attendance officer for the township in the past the township of markham has ap pointed an attendance officer who receives a 100 stipend and it would still be necessary for the township to make this ap pointment at this meeting there were indications that if the various school boards ap prove of the suggestion mark ham township would cooper ate fully in presenting this suggestion to the trustees association mr hallman stressed that school boards would be in no way surrendering any author ity but that the plan would en able a superintendent of twp schools to carry out the poli cies determined by the boards both collectively and individu ally pass resolution however it is an idea that the trustees will have to think over carefully lefore any action is taken a resolut ion was passed that the school boards he requested to discuss the matter fully at their own meetings and arrive at a deci sion they will be ready to present their views at the next meeting in january report from parliament claremont ontario by michael starr mp on tuesday december 1st the members of the house of commons entered the chamber to find

these flowers were in honor of hamilton tiger cats grey cup victory over winnipeg blue bombers last saturday on a question asked the fin ance minister mr abbott in the house of commons as to when he expected to introduce the bank act mr abbott ad vised that because of the christ mas recess and his expected trip to australia in january at which time he will be attending a conference of commonwealth finance ministers the bank act will not be brought before par liament until sometime in feb ruary in the speeches which have been delivered during the past week proposals have been made on various matters one was for the establishment of a federal youth department to help young canadians to develop their talents and potentialities con sideration of a national flag has again been urged one mem ber advocated easier mortgage payments which would help more canadians build homes and thereby stabilize their lives in canada it has been suggested that the government put a floor under its grants to universities to re duce inequalities among provin ces the university grant is pam to each province on the basis of fifty cents for each resident of the province but some provinces including nova scotia have more universities than others newfoundlands grant equals 459 per university student while nova scotias grant a- mounts to only 95 per student nearly 22000 regular force service men who took part in the korean war are eligible for benefits similar to those re ceived by second world war veterans the benefits includ ing university or vocational training and settlement under the veterans land act pre viously had been granted to the 5000 specially recruited for korea in 1950 a parliamentary return indi cates that the royal canadian mounted police have cut the cigarette smuggling business al most by half in the last year on november 27th a delega tion representing the canadian municipalities met with prime minister st laurent and his cabinet on behalf of canadas cities and towns they appealed to the federal government to help ease financial hardens press ing on the municipalities and their spokesman expressed con fidence that the government will make some concessions councillor j o asselln of montreal president ot the can adian federation of mayors and municipalities said that he be lieved the concessions will cover 1 the demand by the federa tion that the government re move the 10 sales tax from municipal purchases of equip ment and supplies 2 the removal of the 4 assess ment floor on grants to muni cipalities in lieu of taxes on federal property serviced by municipal areas in a brief outline of the finan cial plight of the cities and towns the delegation urged that a federalprovincial conference with municipal representation be called as soon as possible to clarify the national role of muni cipalities and set out ways in which they can get required revenues it proposed also that the gov ernment institute a comprehen sive national health plan to offset soaring health costs help pay for education costs through arrangements with the provin- ves make mortgage repayments easier and boost civil defence contributions but it observed that the heavy cost of adminis tration and providing services are the biggest headaches of canadian towns and cities the representations as made by this delegation are in lino with my views expressed in my maiden speech in the last ses sion of the 21st parliament mr asselln after the inter view reported that the delega tion was very pleased with the manner in which the prime min ister and his ministers received their representations although they did not know how far the government proposed to go in his statement mr asselln said he felt that at least the govern ment will make some conces sions on the two points and that they will give earnest con sideration to all the representa tions at the present the govern ment makes grants in lieu ot taxes on federal property in ex cess of 4 of tho assessment value of local taxable and fed eral property combined the federation feels that taxes should bo paid on all federal properties because of the cost of providing municipal services to federal property and that cost should be charged against the taxpayers of the nation rather than against those in that particular municipality only the federation claims that the elimination of the 10 sales tax on municipal purchases would have no serious impact on government revenues but it wonld go a long way to help tho distressed municipalities i am most certainly in accord with these representations and hope that tho government will see fit when they bring dowt the budget during this session to give consideration to these matters and thereby lessen the burden of the municipal tax payer
