Carving pe- | Many Outlooks On Peace Corps WASHINGTON (AP) -- To some critics, the peace corps is a melodramatic gesture to ex- tend President Kennedy's new frontier to Timbuktu; to others, it is idealism floating on clouds. To the Communists, it is a cold war spy corps, a tool of ression. its advocates, the peace eorps is an exciting assault on; poverty the world over, a 20th- century exposition of the golden rule, an honest effort by common men to better one by bettering all. Kennedy visualized the peace corps as a dedicated band of Americans who believe that freedom depends on the vigor of newly developing lands. Let all nations join in, he said. The ultimate will be "a major international effort to in- crease the welfare of all men and improve understanding among nations." SOME APPREHENSION Is the peace corps a worthy instrument? Some men have served the idea but they wonder whether the response is impulsive or well thought out. Everyone connected with the peace corps agrees that good intentions are not enough Peace corpsmen must be chosen for their ability to build a schoolhouse in Malaya, or to teach in it, or to provide sani- tary facilities for the towns- people, or to train farmers to conserve soil. |worries and serves without pay. Peace corpsmen must know the language of the country sufficiently to pick up the dia-| lect of the particular people| they serve and they must know the history and traditions of their own country in order to represent it intelligently abroad. Sargent Shriver, 46, director of the peace corps, has said life in the armed forces may be more glamorous and safer. "This is not going to be a moonlight cruise on the Amazon, or a pleasant vacation| in Kashmir, or a very nice opportunity to go out to the Far| East," Shriver said at a youth conference here. The president, in creating the| corps, warned of physical hard- ship, primitive conditions and financial sacrifice. WITHOUT PAY Like all the Kennedy entour- age, Shriver has no monetary Tanganyika was first to invite the peace corps and be accepted. Civil engineers, geolo- gists and surveyors will work side by side with Tanganyikans on farm - to - market roads. By midsummer, agreements will be concluded with 10 to 12 other governments. Volunteers will - stay abroad for about two years. They will get no pay except allowances enabling them to live on a scale comparable to the men and women with whom they work. BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Ask New Deal For Councils By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Press Business Editor Municipalities need a "new deal" if they are to cope with the demand for new and ex- panded facilities. This was the consensus at last week's annual meeting of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, as it is the consensus of prac- tically all other discussions on the matter. However, as is also usually the case, the Ontario chamber said it didn't know what the pattern of the 'new deal" should be. It suggested a royal commission to look into every aspect of the problem. Such a commission would deal with more than the raising| of money. It would also examine] such things as the physical makeup of municipalities as af- fected in recent years by| sprawling populations. It might result, for instance, in a re- constitution of municipal units, possibly along the lines of a strengthened county system, WIDE BASIS SOUGHT F. H. Finnis, municipal re- search associate of the Cana- dian Tax Foundation, backing the proposal for a royal com- mission, said: "It should investigate and make recommendations on every angle from boundaries, responsibili- ties, borrowings, grants, rev- enue sources and county organ- ization through to assessment procedures." Present sources of municipal revenue in Ontario are the property tax, a business tax and a little-used poll tax, plus pro- vincial aid. Mr. Finnis favored some al- location to municipalities "by right rather than by provincial largesse' of a certain percent- age of the sales or income tax.| He also saw possibilities in| more use of the poll tax as de- veloped in the Atlantic prov- inces, where it runs to as much as $0 a year. Saint John, N.B., draws about 7% per cent of its tax revenue from the poll tax; Fredericton about 4% per cent; Halifax more than two per, cent; and Charlottetown 11 per cent. > EXAMPLE CITED Taking Toronto as an exam- ple, he stated: "penty » five dollars per| | teachers, Se courses will bel head on all employed persons in the central area would, in 1956, have provided a theo- retical $7,500,000 or about 8 1-3 lof the city's total revenue for that year." Mr. Finnis would do away with the business tax as dis- criminatory but appeared to question the current attitude that property taxes are about as high as they can go. "The - important question is whether municipalities can ab- sorb their share of the expan: sion of services or whether many of the tasks they now per- form will fall by default or intent to the senior levels of] government. | "The answer lies very largely with ourselves as taxpayers. Are we prepared to tax our- selves at the local level to pay {for all the services we keep demanding?" { Sea School Aboard Big Liner VANCOUVER (CP)--Possibly the world's most unusual sum- mer school will 'be held at sea starting June 19. | The classroom will be the 21,000-ton liner Monterey of the Matson Line. A University of British Col- umbia professor, Meredith Thompson, will be one of the instructors. The ship will cruise the South| {Pacific, stopping at Tahiti, the | Cook Islands, Auckland, Sydney, | Fiji, Samoa and Hawaii. Eight courses, all fully] accredited, will be completed in 23 days of classes. Prof. Thompson will give al course in South Seas literature. His lectures will gain realism through calls by the sea-going students to the islands that in- spired Melville, Loti, Gauguin and Maugham. ..
