Walla Publisher WEDNESDAY JUNE APRES MOI mm Should Give William Teller General Manager McPherson Managing Editor Vs rur room LE DELUGE mementostime Guarantee By PATRIB NICHOlJON WAWA Then lfll be In other minority government an election day according to New Democrat lender Douglas He has predicted that pondersqiport from the voters will elect twice at many candi datesofhispartyastbenwbo were members of the last House of Coman if this prediction should be fulfilled another nil nority government is inevitable The reasoning is this The New Democrats expected and growing strength is largely in the big cities where Ilmostall the seats were held by Liberal or New Democrat um Most NDP gains would inerdorebe at the expense of liberals But Mr Douglas also expects to pick up few seats in Sexist chawan where they were pre yiiousiy all held by Conserva VII if the NDP wins 22 additional seats likely estbmta is that ahnul 15 of these uvuld be big city seats now held by Liberals two Would he seals in smaller communitiesnvw held by Cody senntives and fivenpuld be Saskatchewan seats now held by Conservatives This might lead to new House containing Liberals vsa Conservatives NDP and lb Soercds Crcdiilsles and inde pendents Other factors will modify these tigtnes sit as redistribution and the campaign QUEENS Putt mammow 16 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario Minoritiy Government iisell but let us first consider the Douglas thesis Would that lead in coalition or even merger between the Literals and the New Demo uItstoformamalorttyof stable savannunti this is most unlikely Mr once said that the old liberal form of stable government smelt lie stable amt mlxing his meta phors he said the in mid levergat int bed withha nldbcrfiber pa con Ilning suc al politicians as Saskatchewans Premier instead and New foundlands Premier Small wood So Canada would be run with another minority government Would this be bad thing was recently dismissing this posskfility with one of the fresh bright wave of New Democrat Ws Galts t1yearnld Max Saltsman who won his seat in Parliament at by election in test in the formerly Conserve live riding of Waterloo South He is public spirited wartime RCAF peacetime school trustee and alderman before becoming an MP able and in every sense good representative of his constituency and man who contributes sensibly to the work of Parliament Max remarked to me that be anticipated minority govern ment to result irorn this elcc tion And this be said can be an exceedingly good form of fiiflnswes government its rninority posh tion it on its hoes induces partly vi In ll the national interest and prev enta it from growing arrogant or dictatorial Ha cited the Dial enbeker minority govenment of the short issue Parliament as an examle productive of much Ind good legislation Mas one im po ant ori prevents any trend to dictatorship Our parliamentary system is such that prime minister supported llaypa solid working malortty of of his own party has enor mous power in is own handS far more power than the preri dentrof the US where there are constitutional checks and balances uninwwn in Ottawa Such prime minister for in stance has the untrammelled power of patronage appoint merits unfettered he can put whom he chooses into the top inbs in the civil service and Crown corporations he can ap point whom he wishes as lodges he can pack the Senate He could even by his power of appointment convert the RCMP into private personal Gestapo Our prime ministers have these Wers as Max Saltsman pointed out if they are backed by parliamentary malonty None has ever used it fully yet but that docs not remove the danger Will Legalize Use Oi Wide Vehicles non onnanrt T0me You never can tell just what will bnppen in this place an amendment this Highway Traffic Act allows motor vehicles to ba inches wider than before from 96 inches to 102 inches You would tab this as patch tiai lighting amendment Not only here but in all juris diction the size at vehicles per mittod on the highways has been controversial matter one that can be depended on to arouse public indignation Protecting Police Jobs Members of the newlyformed Munici pal Police Association will send dele gation to Queens Park to protect the jobs of policemen affected by the take over of small community forces The concern of these men for th future is understandable But their tac tics are faulty if they are attempting t1 block course of action already announc ed and one which commends itself as ing logical and useful Regardless of the reasons the polic ing of small centres has never been ade quate any more than the education olf ered in small rural schools has met thr needs of the modern age The province now proposes to assume gradually the police responsibilities in all communities which now have forces of 10 men or fewer The local forces will be replaced by members of the Ontario Provincial Police Inevitany this change will mean loss of employment for many of the present municipal policemen This is what some 20 YEARS AGO IN TOWN Barrie Examiner June 1940 Pro vincial election next Monday In Simcoe Centre there were five candidates George Johnston PC

officers whose qualities age and potential make them ossibie members of the OPP should ion for special con sideration in obtaining the transfers Those who are not going to qualify should ask firmly and reasonably for assurance of assistance to see that they are retrained provided with decent em ployment and given what other compan sations they may have earned The proposed change is not to take ef feet immediately and may be spaced over period of up to 20 years Thisin itself suggests that time will solve most of the personal problems that weigh so much with the policemen today What they reallyneed in the interim is some honorable guarantee from the attorneygenerals department that they will be given fair treatment and every consideration DowN MEMORY LANE Hillsdale Simcoe County
