Ncwfoiindlanilcis and fisheries of ficials have been cndlcssly critical of the press covcragc of the controversy claiming that all of it has favored the ant iscaling cam paigners in fact it has been remarkably balanced with the seal huntcrs case being givcn at least equal attention as for example in recent article by Ottawa columnist Stewart MacLiod Letters to the editor published in wide range of Canadian newspapers have criti cized the antiscaling groups for interfering with an essentially humane form of hunting while blaiidly ignoring tiic incidence of mistreatment of children and the termination of some 50000 unborn babics lives through abortion annually in anada But although the charges of press favoritism toward the antisealing cam paigners can be easily refuted the fact remains that lFAW and others how been highly successful in raising money from the public and in spreading mindless form of antiCanadianism in the United States and Europe Parliament hill By STEWART MacLEOI Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Scrvicc hope the government doesnt lose sight of the suggestion by Professor Dale Thomson that new house of Parliament be es tablished to bring together the rcgional voices of Canada The world today By JOHN IIARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service In world of dissent squabbling nations unworkable international agreements it is well to remember that this month we celebrate 20 years of the European Common Market On March 25 1957 the Treaty of Rome was signed by the six original members of this great and successful union of Western European trading nations union which has been expanded to nine countries since then The European Common Market or more correctly European Economic Community EEC is the dream the promise aitd then the reality of many great continental politicians The late French politician Jean Mointct some call the father of the common market mice said of the scheme We are not oiin uniting the countries we are uniting the peoples Today market of about 200 million exist in Western Europe matched it is true by neigh boring one of Comecon the Communistbloc countries of Eastern Europe joined in 1972 by distant Communist Cuba The members of the EEC at present are West Germany Holland Belgium France Britain Norway Luxembourg Ireland ltaly NEW MEMBERS READY Very interested in joining are Portugal Spain and Greece Spanish entry was long held up by such EEC members as Holland and the Scan dinavian member countries because of the oppression of the Franco regime and the inability of controlled Spanish trade unions to bargain freely with European ones To lesser degree this was also true of both Greece and Portugal still ruled in the early 1970s by harsh military regimes The EEC has not come into existence without some Churchillianstyle blood sweat and tears WWvaMAI MouthwaAWWMVarmx vu Munme POOR HAROLDSINCE THEY BANNED SACCHARIN HE PUTON SO MUCH WElGHT HE DlED OF HEART AWACK lcrhaps it should be called the Scitate Professor Thomsons suggestion to Liberal policy workshop in Toronto should be considered in tandem with an idea from Senator Maurice Lamontagnc that still another institution be established to bring together the views of wide variety of anadian decision makers What is needed Common Market marks 20 years The common agricultural policy which the British had to accept on entry iit 1973 shot up British food prices and raised resentment in country where farming methods were much more modern than say in rural France Though the EEC has no common industrial policy as such its bureaucracy iii Brussels continues to deal with the varying manufac turing communities iii the market through rationalization methods and harmonizing the technical qualification of products The movement of labor promised in the Treaty of Rome was major phenomenon of the scheme in the late 60s and early 70s until the world depression hit everyone after tobcr 1973 Perhaps 10 million Europeans many of them workers from outside the market Por tuguesc Turks and Greeks as well as Italians inside it found employment iii the communitys expanding industries The other side of this impressive picture has been the high unemployment engendered by the recession about five million out of work across the market countries The EEC operates through four main ageit cies which make up its sprawling Bureaucracy in Brussels chocabloc with the military infrastructure of the NATO member states BIG BUREAUCRACY The Council of Ministers is the decision making body of the EEC with The European Commission its agent in drawing up proposals as well as acting as guardian of the provision of the Rome Treaty The European Parliament concept which goes back to the superaristocrat Count Met ternich keeps further vigilant eye on Coun cil of Ministers and European Commission alike And Court of Justice of thc EEC ascer tains the legal basis for Community decisions Happy 201h birthday thcn to the EEC of all 10 Canadian provinces is proper institutional framework allowing for wellprepared continuing dialogue says the Quebec senator He suggests this new body be called Futures anada or Horizons Canada Thcsc names dont impress me too much but again like thetitlc Senate Here we have been talking about Senate rcform for some 50 years in Canada and along conic two clear thinkers with ideas for new institutions its heavensent op portunity to accomplish everything within the framework of the muciHnaligncd prescnt Senate in fact the Senate all along should have been doing exactly what thcsc two men now arclalkingalmut thllNllNGlllllli Senator Lamontagnc wants Futures or Horizons Canada to bring together well prepared and continuing dialogue on national isslics He would want his organization to have representative crosssection of Canadian thinkers to break down the strengthening regionalism in tltc country The present trend leads us to chaos he says It seems to me that was one of the primc resixmsibilitics handed the Senate when it was established by the British North America Act Although more emphasis was placed on protecting provincial rights the founding speeches made it clear the Senate would be forum of sober sccolidthoughf bringing together the views of tltc regions it protected Trouble was successive governments have never paid enough attention to appointing truly representative group of Canadians Partisan bagincn and members of the government in power tended to get first crack at the comforts of the Scnatc and thc present annual income of $31200 But there is no reason why the selection process cant change or even be handed over to provincial governments Prime Minister Trudeau has indicated he would ltavc no ob jcction to this The new house advocated by Professor lhomson Would include provincial premiers and others nominated by the provinces He said this would have the effect of recognizin premiers as national statesmen and woul eliininalc any thoughts of them being pow crlcss in the nations capital He suggested flint the new house sit on Mon lays and Fridays so the prcmicrs could bc home for the rest of the week This new house would have clcarlydcfincd powers to for mulaic national policy lrcat idea But instead of going through the painful process of establishing two new institutions the government could start by filling some of the present 15 Senate vacan cies with provincial premiers and giving provincial governments the power to make subsequent appointments as vacancies become available hymnlo Published daily except The

man also designed the three penny Beaver stamp It was almost impossible to know what time it was in other communities until Fleming worked out his system which was adopted by Canada in 1883 and by world conference in Washington the following year Before Fleming designed the time zones there were differences even in neighboring communities For instance travellers bet ween Montreal and Toronto distance of 300 miles had to put their watches back 812 minutes at Brockville 12 minutes at Kingston 1412 minutes at Belleville and 23 minutes at Toronto Today Flemings orderly system has been confused by Daylight Saving Time Some communities and some nations use it and others dont Britain has even advanced sum mer time by two hours in emergencies Daylight Saving Time came into effect in Canada in 1918 as war measure It lapsed at the end of the year although an effort was made to revive it in 1919 The measure was defeated in the House of Commons as result of strong opposition by farmers Even so British Columbia adopted it Mar ch 28 1919 There was similar situation in 1974 when British Columbia intended to put Daylight Saving Time into effect Jan but cancelled the plan just two days before it became effective owing to strong opposition Presentday opposition to Daylight Saving Time comes mostly from farmers and par ents who do not like getting their children ready for school before daybreak In 1918 and later there also was opposition from people who believed that advancing clocks an hour was shortening their lives and acting contrary to Gods will Our hair stiffened By TRA YNOR MCFARLANE We once had the unique and rather frightening at times experience few years ago of flying in small plane which had no cockpit cover The plane was built that way and home made into the bargain We were on photo assignment at the time and asked around for free ride at the June air show we were covering One pilot volunteered to take us up to get some aerial views of the show and we readily aitd excitedly agreed Until we saw the plane It was twoseater and really small We climbed in gingerly after the pilot Youd better strap yourself in he told us We fastened our safety belts and sat back wait ing on the pilot closing the cockpit cover He didnt because he couldnt There was no cockpit cover Youre kidding we said forcing grin No he said he wasnt kidding and he had built the plane that way By this time we were taxiing along the run way and it was too late to clamber out The slipstream sure made mess of our hair in fact welost lot of it on that flight Just tell me when you want me to bank the pilot said nonchalantly The bank we wanted at that moment was the one you put money in 50s we could get our life insurance policy out of the safety deposit box Sure we gulped trying iit vain to grasp large tuft of precious hair which was uprooted from our head by the vicious wind By this time we were about 1000 feet in the air and we still hadnt taken picture We were scared to ask him to bank Finally we asked him to head for certain area from where we could get good shot Headed he did and batik he did The sleazy Gpull of Nature strained our un willing body against the frail safety belts as we were pulled over to the right and then the left as the pilot gleefully banked and re banked We feverishly started shooting pic tures anything to get this assignment over with Click Click Click When the photos were developed it was Blur Blur Blur OK Thats it we gasped our mouth full of slipstream The pilot grinned in recognition and banked for home and we were glad the camera was on strap around our neck As we flew back to base we felt little bet ter Acclimatized as it were In our false state of security we casually glanced at the planes dashboard interesting small brass plate caught our eye and we stiffened As we read it what was left of our hair and our tattered shirt also stiffened The plate read something like This air craft is homemade and has not yet passed ministry inspection anyone travelling in it does so at their own risk Signed Ministry of Iraniportation We glanced with slitted eyes our eyes couldnt bulge with the fear they felt because of the slipstream and the lack of goggles at the calm pilot who turned smile in return Were those white teeth homemade Was HE homemade we wondered as the plane taxied to halt We never did find out
