An examination ot the book showed, for example, that the late Canon Henry John Cody, an Anglican clergyman who served as Ontario's minister of education and president of the University of Toronto, was a fourth cousin once removed of Buffalo Bill. Both were direct descendants of Philip Cody (or- iginally known as Legody), who came from France and settled in Massachusetts in 1698.

INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) When Gallup Poll interviewers presented a list to the public of three potential leaders for the Liberal Party, should Mr. Pearson resign, Hon. Paul Martin won almost half the people of Canada to his support. Hon. Jean Lesage, prémier of Quebec, came next with 16 per cent of the voters and the Minister of Finance, Hon. Walter Gordon third with 11 per cent. Greatest support for Mr. Martin (48 per cent) comes from his own native province of Ontario and greatest at the drop: of a ten-gallon hat to launch into one of his several hundred "'true stories about the West." Second Fiddle Role Unacceptable In Que. This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada. : Granby La Voix de |'Est-- During a recent visit to Mont- real, Davie Fulton, one of those who hope to succeed John Diefenbaker, gave his opinion on three controversial questions: Provincial powers in the field of international relations; the Fulton-Favreau formula for repatriating the constitution, and Quebec's in- tention of becoming the cen- tre of political expression for French Canada in the future. His opinions are these: International agreements by the provinces endanger the constitutional concept; the flexibility of the constitution needs to be better understood; the idea of making Quebec the centre of political expres- sion for French-speaking Ca- nadians risks confining them to a "ghetto." The former justice minister favors, as the best solution, "modernization of the' consti-: tution within the framework of the present basic concept: that of ethnic equality, politi- cal unity, diversity of culture and equality of aspirations." And this, 'without a vast ex- change of constitutional juris- dictions, even if it seems re- alistic to transfer some pow- ers in order to find part of the answer to Canaan prob- lems." In other words, Mr Patton' 5 wish is to see French-Cana- dians get their rights, in whichever part of the country they live. That is why he de- plores the creation of what he calls a ghetto, one province where French - Canadians would be confined. . . . How- ever, there is a gap between desire and reality and Mr. Fulton knows it. If Mr, Le- sage wants to make Quebec the centre of political expres- sion for French Canada, it is because Canadians of French origin are not accepted, but tolerated' in many provinces where they are denied the most elementary rights. Now, at the present rate of progress, even if, in the eyes of Mr. Fulton, it (Quebec province) becomes a ghetto, it will certainly be a splendid ghetto where our ethnic group will no longer be at the mercy of the central power and fhe English - speaking majority which directs and orients it, at will. The French - Canadian does not desire to separate himself from Confederation, but -he would no longer know how to stick with it as a sec- ond fiddle. Mr. understand that, tain. (June 7) Fulon will we are cer- * Quebec Le Soleil--The worst of the report (on ticket-fixing at the Quebec City municipal court) is that it is, without saying so, a condemnation of the Quebec community, How else can it be explained that there was no movement of in- dignation during the years from 1958 and before, no cry for reform during council elections? The public 'cannot plead -ig- norance of what was going on at city court any more than can the councillors. Hundreds of them, 'if not thousands, profited from the juggling of tickets and summonses. Does their silence represent our level of civic spirit? Let us hope not, for it is more amoral than civic This public inertia is the most troubling aspect of the whole thing. Will the Sylvestre report shake us out of it in time for next fall's elections? That is the question one must ask, for this is not the first time public opinion has remained silent about munici pal administration. It is hard to forget the resigned attitude which followed. the declara- tion a few years ago by a newly - elected alderman, Mederic Robichaud, that he had received in a few weeks bribe offers of several hun- dred thousand dollars His statement fell on-deat ears. No one led a movement for a royal commission but it surely suggested a real traffic in influence at city hall, Reading the Sylvestre re- port and remembering Mr. Robichaud's statement, one can't help but wonder if this isn't a convincing case gainst the present administration. If this 'many irregularities were committed for patronage so unprofitable, is there not rea- son to wonder what happened when sums were of the order of tens or hundreds of thou- sands of dollars? This is why, normally, the Sylvestre report would call for a royal commission into all sections of the municipal administration. But the present moment is not normal. We are on our way (we hope) to a new era thanks to a municipal reform which springs from an earlier inquiry by the same commis- sion, The new order will begin in November with the next municipal elections -- if the necessary purification is un- dertaken. . . .(June 11), support for Mr. Lesage (38 per cent) comes from his province of Quebec.

Seats in. the House of Com- mons are allocated by each rty whip, as directed by the leader; A front bench seat is a prized status symbol, and re- flects a promotion in the party pecking order based not neces- 'sarily on seniority but. often on the "grace and favor" of the party leader. : -The Conservatives now have 18. front bench seats on the Opposition side of the House of Commons; the NDP has four, while the Social Credit and Creditiste parties each have two. : Sitting on the front Conserva- tive bench are, in addition to the leader, eight former: minis- ters who sat in cabinet during a Parliament, and did not re- sign; also Doug Harkness, who resigned from the cabinet; also two who were appointed as "window - dressing" ministers after the disintegration of the Diefenbaker cabinet and after the dissolution of Parliament. There are also five long-serving MPs who did not attain cabinet rank: Elston Cardiff, elected in 1940; Wally Nesbitt and Marvin Howe, both elected in 1953; George Doucett, former Ontario cabinet minister who was first elected in 1957; and also in the class of '57 there is Bob Coates, recently prdmoted to the front bench to replace the late George Nowlan as senior mem- ber from Nova Scotia. And there fs that empty seat. GOOD MPs SNUBBED By seniority, one might ex- ' pect the secord row to be filled by the rest of the class of '57; the third and fourth rows by the class of °58, the year of the Conservative sweep; and the back row by the miscellany first elected to Parliament--or newly joining the Conservative ranks-- in the '60s. Most of the second row is filled by the °57 group--plus Tom Bell, elected in 1953, and Jim McBain, elected in 1954. But five admirable members of the class of '57 have been squeezed back into the third row to make way for their QUEEN'S PARK Dr. Dymond Tries To Curb Alcoholism By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Health Minister M. B. Dymond is a man who often surprises you. Dr. Dymond, it seems, has an uncanny capacity for getting into trouble. And then when you think he is just about swamped he some- how or other surfaces again and swims off as strong as ever, This year it appeared he was in for a really bad time when his estimates came before the House. He had been under fife in various areas for a couple of years. But then when the estimates actually came up he had a relatively easy time. It is true he took a bit of a roasting on his mental health program. But generally he had it much easier than had been expected. And the bulk of the credit for this must go to him personally. His votes came-up immedi- ately following a long grilling on the medicare act. The nor- mally agressive little minister took this with such patience he won the respect of the House. And the opposition parties ap- ' peared to feel he had done s0 well they: were going to give him a break on his estimates. By this time, of course, it also was 'getting into the last stages juniors and. -- in most cases-- s their patent inferiors, These are Alf Haules, chairman of the im- portant caucus committee on industry; Dr. Rynard, chairman of the caucus committee on health; and Erik Nielsen, chair- man of the caucus committee on public works and housing; atso Heber Smith, one of the true thinking men of the party, and agricultural expert Bill Thomas. The second-row seats to which these five members have valid claims have instead been allocated to three compar- ative unkowns of the class of "58--Pigeon, Grafftey and Nu- gent; to on. on-again, off-again member of the '58 class who has subsequently been defeated and re-elected -- Danforth, the MP for Kent, who is so little noticed that Mr. Speaker repeat- edly confuses him with a social- ist MP and addresses him as . "the honorable member for Danforth"; and finally the very able Eldon Wolliams . who would have been an ornament to the cabinet when his party was in power. FRONT ROW MATERIAL Obvious candidates for pro- motion to the honor and dignity of that empty front bench seat are Alf. Hales, Heber Smith, Eldon Woolliams and Tom Bell, . the latter being chairman of the caucus committee on national revenue; also Heath Macquar- rie, the historian-conscience of the caucus, and Gordon Fair- weather, former attorney-gen- eral of New Brunswick who is chairman of the caucus com- mittee on justice. These caucus committee chairmen constitute the Conserpative "shadow cabi- net" and are therefore very im- portant people, Yet Gordon Fairweather is humbled by be- ing seated in the back row in the House; it is significant that each of these six MPs are puh- licly declared or privately con- sidered to be critics of theit leader. None would feel un- comfortable sitting in the front row in the company now there, and anyone would decorate it, BIBLE Verily I say unto you, inas- much as ye have done it. unte one of the least of these my brethen, ye have done it unto me."

In view of the extreme length of the session it was remarkable that this feeling hadn't shown before, but it really hadn't. The members, and this in- cluded many on the government side, seemed content to take business in stride and give it full discussion, even though they were running a month overtime and the sun was shin- ing strongly outside. PRODUCE ONE LAUGH There weren't many light mo- ments during the long examina- tion of the medical services in- surance bill. But the NDP did come up with at least one. Both opposition groups atl- tacked every section of the. bill as it went through committee stage. And the NDPers even tried to change the name of the bill. They moved that the name be changed from the Medical Serv- ices Insurance Act to the Medi- cal Carriers Benefit Act. The opposition, of course, has contended the new program is weighted in favor of the insur- ance companies, the 'medical carriers." The motion was ruled friv- olous.
